A UNIQUE DECISION The decision of the United States preme Court in the rorto kico liaa heAn the subiect of much fMiscus8iQn and has elicited many .Viiflerent expressions of opinion. The expansion organs, as might ' have been expected, applaud it, while the j anti-expansion papers construe it as inconsistent and un warranted bv the Constitution which the Justices undertook to in terpret. One of the severest ar raingments of this unique decision 'we find in the New York Herald, a non-partisan paper, which we re produce because it voices the opin ions of many who look at questions like this from a disinterested, non partisan standpoint. Under the ' heading of "A Momentous Decision .Besting on a Foundation of Sand," ' the Herald says: "No decision of nore far reaching consequences has ever been rendered by the United States Supreme Court than that in the Downes case, and no rrat constitutional opinion of that tribunal has rested on a basis more in secure. ' 'It is not only opposed by the larg est minority of which the Court is capable, who declare through the Chief Justice that it "overflows the basis of our constitutional law," but even tne majority- while coinciding in the conclusion, could not aeree -in the reasoning by which it was reached. I xnree Or lOO uusuuea umreu in senting opinion to show that though they concurred in the judgment they did so "on grounds which were not only different from but in conflict with those epressed by - Justice Brown," while another majority Jus tice differed from all these. There were, therefore, three opinions to express the views of the five Justices who con stituted the ma jority of the Court "Such a lack of unanimity, . which may safely be characterized as un precedented, may well impair the force of the decision. Its vulnerability is still increased by the inherent -weakness of such anomalies as holding that 'Puerto Rico" is a territory appurten ant and belonging to the United States but not a part of the United States," and by declaring that for some pur poses the constitutian applies and for ; some does not apply to the newly ac quired possessions. In view cf all " these considerations and the fact that the majority that rendered the opinion may be turned into a majority by the accession of the next new member to the Bench, how long can the judgment withstand the onslaught which its own . weakness will invite in the future? "Amid the conflict and confusion of so many opinions it is not easy to de fine either the limitations or the scope of what the Court has decided. But it is plain that vital issues are still unset tied and left to future discussion and determination. As we have said, the upshot of the majority opinions in the Downes case is that the constitution does and does not apply to the new to the extreme of despotism because its power is not limited bv the constitu tion, and, on the other, it is declared that Congress 'cannot destroy the lib erties of Puerto Rico by exercising in their regard powers against freedom and justice which the constitution has absolutely denied.' "In presenting the contention of the Government that the constitution does not follow the flag Attorney Gen eral Griggs was forced to admit as the logical effect of the argument that Con gress was free not only to set up a dic tatorship or a despotism in the national domain beyond the States, but also to deny the personal rights guaranteed by the constitution. But from the lat- ter extreme the majority Justices in the Downes case shrink. Justice Brown, r though remarking that the Court is not called upon to decide the questions, more than intimates that the v- constitutional rights relating to life, ; liberty and property must be protected wherever the authority of the United States is exercised, and this doctrine is expressly maintained in the dissenting opinion by J ustice White. "And yet it may be pertinently ask 1 ed. Where is the line to be drawn j " between the unlimited power of -Con-; gress to govern' and its limited authority over personal rights? For example, the right of Congress to levy taxes is affirmed. Yet power to tax is power to destroy. "It is not surprising that the major ity of the court encountered difficul ties they can hardly be said to have surmounted in holding that 'the con stitution deals with States and not Territories.' The minority, headed by vaiei j ustice J? uuer. nad plain sailing in maintaining with Marshall that the constitution extends to all places s over which the government extends' and that 'the United States is the name given to our great Republic, which is composed of States and Ter ritories and embraces the whole Amer ican empire.'" The decision applied to Porto Eico, but of course it is equally ap plicable to all the recent acquisi j tions of territory by the Govern vj ment, and to any that may hence- forth be acquired. What a disap pointment it must be to the Porto Eicans, who were so eager to get from nnder the Spanish flag and under the flag of the United States? In their enthusiasm they began to eel like Americans when General i Miles raised his flag and issued his proclamation, in which he practi i cally pledged them American citi zensnip. The mayor of one of the towns became jup enthusiastic at the prospect of this and so rejoiced over the change of sovereignty that, his official papers bore the legend "United States of America" after the name of his town. In his con pfiding simplicity and .believing that I the proclamation of General Miles " meant what it said, he thought in I ceasing to be a Spanish subject he ; would become an American citizen, - and the elated man rejoiced thereat. He knows better now. If we didn't know it before, this remarkable de cision by the one deciding vote in - the Supreme Court settles it for the time being and tells him "where he is at." v; -s-, y Porto Eico was nnder a despotism when tinder Spanish rule but in wel coming American , rule ? the 'Porto Bicans were simply exchanging one despotism for what might become an- other, a despotism of the King, or the Cortes of Spain tor a despotism of the President or the Congress of the United States, for that is what the Supreme Court decision means. It declares that Congress has un limited power over our. 'territorial possessions, and that means despotic power. It may not exercise despotic nnwer. but whether it doe's or not rests entirely with it. The people of those territories have no voice, nothing between them and the will of Congress, and if they escape a des potic exercise of thaij unlimited power it will be because Congress refrains from exercising it because there may be no occasion for that. But unlimited power is always a temptation to license and excess, and requires but little provocation to lead to despotic oppression. It might be said, that there is no dan- m j m i t " .A- eer or. tnat, tnai congress is uuu likelv to abuse this unlimited power, I a belief expressed by Justice Brown when he was deciding in favor of I this umliraitecrpo"er; but we of the I South have had some experience in what Congress may do in the way of . . . oppression wnen partisan aims are at stake, or partisan anger aroused. The reconstruction laws, and the conduct of Congress during , that eventful period inhe history of this section are full of object lessons on that, and then Congress simply as sumed the power and did not have any 5 to 4 United States "Supreme Court dictum declaring that it has unlimited power over territories, or in other words, imperial power out side of the States where our flag It remains to be seen how the American people will take to this kind of imperialism. STIMULATING RESEARCH. The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record calls attention to the fact that the discovery of phenomenal de posits of oil in Texas has resulted in the passage of an act by the last leg islature providing for a geological survey of the State's school lands with a view to ascertaining what minerals may be contained in them. ' The work has been put in charge of a competent man and it is expected that some important discoveries will be made. The people will at least learn what is under the crust and how Texas is built. The interest has extended to other States where heretofore but little thought or attention has been given to sub-surface explorations, although there have been out croppings of valuable minerals and other indica tions of wealth producing deposits, such as phosphates, marls, fine clays, marble and other valuable stones, the exteQ. of wbtch is a nreioimottwr-u inraAS no systematic ertort nas been nwcre-w determine that. When agriculture was the prin cipal industry and manufacturing industries were insignificant there was not the same stimulus or reason for underground investigation that there is now, but the situation is so changed that the world is becoming mineral hungry and it is to the in terest of every State to discover what it has and as far as practicable how much of it and thus get into the procession of progress. There fore every fully equipped State ought to have a geological depart ment, liberally "provided for and amply supplied with all the neces sary means for making the tests by boring and othervse, to show what there is under the surface. PROTECTIVE DUTIES OBSTRUC TIVE DUTIES Mr. Gustav H. Schwab, manager "of one of the principal trans-Atlantic steamship lines running out gf New York, has recently returned after spending some time in Europe. In discussing the feeling over tf ere and the alarm felt at the growing American competition in mz&ufac tured goods, he said thereuwas no doubt a disposition towards lorming an international combine,to raise the tariff for the purpose of boy cotting American goods, and the only way he saw to forestall and checkmate that movement is to re duce our tariff so that it may not be practically prohibitory on foreign manufacturers, thus opening our markets to the manufacturers of the countries whose markets our manufacturers invade. It is ar gued on the other side that it is unreasonable for this country to practically close its ports against the goods of other nations and to expect the "open door" in those nations, in which view they are about right. That is the view taken of it by a good many of our own people in cluding some manufacturers whose goods are "protected." Abram S. Hewitt, of New York, a large man ufacturer of iron and and steel, de clares in a recent interview that "protective duties are obstructive duties." They were never sound, policy, and there is now. not a par ticle of excuse for them. He calls attention to the fact that President McKinley, the ideal protectionist, who is more responsible for the present protective system than any. other man in the country, virtually acknowledges this, and is trying in a manner to undo some of .-.the mis chief he has done bv advocating reciprocity, which is his way of get ting rid of the protective tariffs But Mr. Hewitt contends that reciproc ity is simply a make-shift and that the thing to do and, the only effec tive thintialto assai4t the tariff wall directly and notby reciprocity treaties " ; : It is somewhat remarble that while there is a pronounced movement in the North and West for reform in this matter, efforts are being made to convert the Southern Democracy, which has all along opposed it, to the protective system and to its perpet uation.

Philadelphia Eec ord, Dem. From almost every army post in the country there comes credible reports of the demoraliza tion which has been the resnlt of the abolition of the aimy canteen. JNow that the private soldiers are compelled to resort to the low grog geries surrounding forts and bar racks to obtain even a drink of beer. there is a marked increase in drunk enness. a lamentable relaxation in discipline and a significant fre quency of absence from quarters without leave. The incontestable proof of deterioration in the morale of the army is the great increase in the number of men- brought- before courts-martial lor jtrial on charges growing out of the delinquencies which are to be traced directly to the abolition of the canteen.

First Meeting of a New Torls Man With the Expert In London. "I was in London several years ago transacting some business for the United States government," said a New York business man. "I had to have a good deal of typewriting done and used to take it to a young woman who had an office in the Strand. Near by there was then, and probably is now, a chess club. It was a bohemian sort of resort and was much frequented by 'foreign players of the game. I hadoften heard of the place and that strangers were welcome, so one day while waiting for some typewriting to be finished I went up stairs to the place. "Shortly after I had entered and was glancing around to familiarize myself with- the surroundings a dark young man came up and bowing pleasantly accosted me in broken English. He said that he saw I was a stranger, but that all "such were more than welcome there and offer ed to escort me around the place. He asked me if I played chess, and I replied that I was a member of the New York Chess club, though by no means an ex pert at the game. "He then asked me if I would like to play and offered himself as an opponent, saying that as I deemed myself a rlbvice be would handicap himself by playing without the queen. I replied that I would gladly play, but would not accept I any odds at first, but that after we had played a few games together he could judge of my ability and we could easily arrange what handicap I should have. "He sat down at .one of the tables and put the men in position on one of the big boards. These boards and chessmen, by the way, have been in use for more than a hundred years, and some of the pieces are so worn that in some cases, despite their size, it is difficult to distinguish a castle from a bishop. I had the white men and started out with one of the regu lation openings. "After a few moves had been made by each of us I noticed something peculiar about his play. He certainly had man aged so that he was now on the offensive, but in one or two ifctances where he might have moved sows to take a piece he deliberately, so it seemed to me, avoid ed doing so. Yet, notwithstanding, his strange way of playing, I could niaH' no headway at all and could not manage to take any of his pieces. "I castled my king and directed my play entirely on the defensive, endeavor ing 8t itiw .u t: his mpfh- ods, which by this time seemed almost pneanny. Suddenly he made a move in a direction J least expected and said, 'Mate in two moves. -"I carefully scanned the board, and It was as he said, nnd then I fathomed the reason of his peculiar moves. He had checkmated me without the loss of a piece by cither of us. I had all mine be cause he had not wished to take any of them, but he had not given me a show to take any "of his.

One of the best berry growers in Ohio said to me a short time ago: "The care given to strawberries in August and September has much to do with, their productiveness the following sea son. If the plants become well anchor ed in rich soil by an abundance of roots, they are sure to produce nice berries the next season unless the weather conditions of the following spring are very unfavorable." This is exactly my experience. One of the best growers for the Ak ron market who gardens upon a very retentive clay subsoils between the rows in September. He uses ordinary mole plow or subsoil lifter between the rows, running it not less than 12" inches deep. The only surface evidence of the work is the narrow mark where the shank passes, but the' hard clay sub soil is lifted and disturbed and a lot of room made for water to stand dur ing the winter and slowly diffuse through the soil. The surface is not worked or disturbed in any way to pack the soiL and the result is that any ordinary rain at once settles Into the subsoil instead of running off the surface. Where the clear space is two feet wide the mole plow can be run twice in a row. To prevent trampling the plant rows the horses should be hitched tandem or else a long double tree used,he former being best. Nothing but a mole plow will accom plish what Is desired, that of lifting and breaking the subsoil without dis turbing the surface or mangling roots. The Iron work of a mole plow is much like the long shanked last seen in shoe stores for riveting pegs. The shank is fastened to a straight beam of wood with handles like a shovel plow, and plow wheels fore and aft gauge the depth. Another thing which may be done from now to the last of September is to see to It that the matted rows do not get too broad. The best berries are grown upon rows no more than 16 inches wide, and ali beyond that is a damage. If plants are needed, the ground should not be cultivated so as to disturb tb runner tips which natu rally distribute themselree pver.the row space. If berrlps mainly are want ed, then all runners beyond the best width should be removed promptly through September and October. Ohio Farmer. For WaaKlns Vegetable.

In India, the land of iron caste, the barbers rank away down along with the blacksmiths and the washerwomen. barber's son must be a karber all his life, and his wife must be a barber's daughter. Like the Chinese barber, the Hindoo shaving man travels about in search of customers, and the barbering is done in the street. But there are no stools, both barber and customer squatting on their heels while the operation is performed. The' Hindoo barber is 'a manicure and a chiropodist as well, and his pay is wretch edly small. Barbers in India working as servants for a swell native family or for a Euro pean receive from $1.25 to $2 a month. They often act as surgeons, and they make a speciality of piercing the ears of young girls for earrings, while barbers' 'wives are almost always hairdressers." Tnrf Losses. A London magazine gives an estimate of the money lost on the turf through out the world during each year. The amount is placed at ?250,000.000, of which $50,000,000 is lost on English race courses and, strange to say, about-$100,-000,000 on Australian courses. The re mainder is chiefly distributed between France, the United States and Brit- colonies. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores tad Colton Yesterday.

But the day was unsatisfactory from a business 8tand nnint and lft Inn ma anil shorts still in doubt as to the. near ruture. Tne opening was quiet and firin, with prices three points lower to three Points higher. tJnhida. tion of near months caused the dar eline; . the far months were supe ported by a few commission houses and restltss shorts. Following the call the marked steadied decidedly on m unnueu tfemHiiu -irom ue near side and ; decreased .offerings. v July ad vanced more rapidly than the rest of the list, but at no time was there any evidence of support from the clique.
