Wednesday, Mirck i'4 - - 1800 M?UOB, NOT THS CONSTITUTION, FOLLOWS THE FLAG> The Puerto flican tariff bill has brought out tbe position that the -v. Constitution does n >t follow the Sag. The paragraphs io the report of the' House way* a>?'3 in^-ans committee ! whieh has canted the discussion of this important constitutional di.vcu?sion are the following: "That tbe term 'United States' in 'that proiition of the Constitution which declares that all duties imposts, asd excites shall b? uniform aroughout the Uuied States means and is confiaed to the States that cont'tnte tho Federal Union, and does ot cover also territory belonging to Lbe United States. "Th*t Congress has power to gorsrn lerto Rico and jtfce Philippines iude_ 4 4 i / /? ? indent of the limitation* 01 tee ton* j ititation n In other words tbis report means that Congress has a free hand in making l?wt for oar sew vossewion*, and that these posse-sioas are not under the peetecuon of the Constitution. It is m&rvelons bow he Constitution can be stretched to ait the w-fches of the rich. The rea j soo, of course, underlying thie cont raction of the Constitution is that to alloTr-ualforra "duties, imposts-and excise*7' wquld mean Cheap sugar, tobicco and other tropical products to t xe injury of our millionaires and their trusts. Hence, our new islands must not be giren constitutional guraotics.

H?i hat wceeeaed in fcecarinj the passage of a resolution asking the President, "if sot incompatible witb the public mterest8,"fto inform the Senate or the'b amber of saloons established in Manila since it has come nader toe fag, s'wbo can-, dacts th*m and who are their patron?," how many saloons were there before oar occopxtion, what kind of liqaor it sold, &c, and farther iaqairing whetheror n*: it is within tb? power of the PresiJ-nt .of the Uni ed States as the Commander-i -Cbkf of the military forces to prohibit the sale of lienor in. Manila A great deal of testimony bas been collected by a number of .newspapers as to. the conditions eziuiag in Manila President Scbnrm&n, of its Puiilipine Coanmiision, on hit relnrn to this eocoiry S>*sfcsaid; "I regret th*l American* bave Be*u allowed- to establish saloons in the Pbilipints, lor the Pbilipinos aie a temperate people and tbe tight of an intoxicated American di?gn3ts them. Nothing has gdoue so mnch to damage the reputation of tbe American peop'o." How^ can it be that these savsje prt<>ple are "disgusted" witb snch eiTi1L d peopJe as those of the Foiled Slates?

A cabinet c'icar ha* triei to come to the a?sistat ,e of tbe President. His explana^? tion considered in connection with the President's message sounds a little fc my. "There h*s been a wide inisap >rebousion of tha Puerto Rican tariff bili, of the auitode of the Preside it, of the. action of Congress, an?5 of their relations to earh other," says tb*- officer.
