The testament of Mrs. Eliza Potter, wife of Bishop Henry C. Potter, who died June 29, was filed at the surro gate's office In New York, a few days ago. It was written by Mrs. Potter on June 20, and Is the shortest will ever Bled there. It contains but one sen tence, bequeathing her entire estate of 130,000 to her husband. As sign of the care with which American officers pay regard to local sentiment, attention is called to the act of Capt Michael, who had charge of the recent execution of six murderers In Manila. He chose a position where the condemned men faced the east, and before they dropped they had one last look at the morning sun, which is so dear to the Oriental. On a recent Sunday a thousand members of a Roman Catholic congre gation in Wllkesbarre, Pennsylvania, signed a pledge of total abstinence from intoxicating drinks. The priest who preached the sermon of the oc casion said: "A blow has this day been struck for temperance that will be heard round the world." The Com panion is glad to help on the reverb eration. The United States navy continues to increase. A statement by Rear-Admiral Bowles, chief of construction, re cently issued, shows that there are now building, or under contract, nine cruisers, four monitors, sixteen torpedo-boat destroyers, ten torpedo- boats and seven submarine torpedo- boats. At this rate the old song will soon have to be amended to read: "Britain and her daughter rule the waves."

HO it IS FOSTERED IT THE ADMINISTRATION. of SB Uaeala Batas; Brine Oat of the Tale Fall's Hnw. Kleetloaa Will Stretching the Constitution and de riding the Declaration of Independence is now tbe settled policy of the leadert of the Republican party. The scheme of imperialism, evolved by them eouia not be carried through without dolnj so and the old Hamiltonian policy tba. was killed by Jefferson has never dared to again show its head untl President McKlnley was elected. Manj Republicans who revere tbe memory of their greatest apostle, Lincoln, are sao at heart as they see this new gospe, w greed practiced in place pf the equa rights to all which is now a discarded theory of their party and as the Wash ington Times says: "It Is impossiblt to avoid the conclusion that the great body of Republicans think more oi their party and its ephemeral plane and purposes than they do of the or ganic law of the land. It may be saia nay, it is said that there is partisan feeling on both sides. This doubtless is true. Many Democrats who know nothing of the fundamental principles; involved, oppose tbe Adminstration'is policy In a strictly party spirit. Still, the fact remains that in their pres.mt interpretation of the Constitution the Populist press and party leaders have been entirely consistent They take the same position now that the party has always taken, and what is even more important at this juncture, the Popu lists of today take the identical view of the great constitutional question now before the country that the Re publicans themselves always took untii it became necessary for them either to change or lo eviiueffiii their own Ad ministration. The present attitude of the Republi can party is not only absolutely new in our political history, but it is an atti tude that is full of danger to the Re public. If the Constitution can be strained or stretched in one particular, so it can in any other. There can be no exceptions. All of it Is absolutely binding or none of it Is. Every branch of the government is controlled and limited by it, or no branch of it is. The question now before the coun try Is not one of a strict or liberal in terpretation of the Constitution. The opponents of the Administration's pol icy are not invoking the rule of strici or narrow interpretation. They con cede to the Federal Government every powei' that Is either expressly granted or fairly to be implied from what is so granted. But they object to any branch of the Government exercising power anywhere outside and indepen dent of the great charter from which every vestige of Federal authority is derived. "The doctrine that Congress may govern the new possessions without re gard to the Constitution is fraught with infinite danger. If we should continue to expand, the time might easily come when Congress, or perhaps the Presi dent alone, would be governing more people outside of tbe Constitution than live under it In such case the Presi dent would be the dominant force, and the danger of lodging such power in the hands of an ambitious man should be clear to the most ordinary intellect. It Is not going too far to say that it might arm him with the means of sub verting free government even within the limits of the present states. He could, at all events, make a strong ef fort in that direction, for his power in the 'outlying territories would enable him to command great resource in men and money. True, the Intelligent and patriotic Bpirit of the American peo ple might reassert themselves in time to save the Republic, but how much better it is to apply every safeguard in time, and thus prevent approach of an actual crisis. "Perhaps tbe strongest argument against this new doctrine is that there is nothing whatever in the present sit nation which gives even a colorable excuse for departure from not only the time-honored traditions of the Repub lic, but from the plain letter and spirit of the Constitution as well. Men talk as If the country were menaced by some grave danger from which it could only be saved by giving the Constitu tion an elastic interpretation, and in vesting the President and Congress with imperial powers, when in truth and fact It is the creation of these im perial powers that constitutes the only real danger in sight" tscarATiox or rowxa, Tha oentrallxation of power by the federal government which is reaching inch extraordinary length under Pres ident McKlnley, is being copied by KepuMlcaa governors in some of the states. Tha persistent effort of the president aad these mimic governors to eacroaca upon the domain of tha legislative department, dictating in stead of recommending the laws that should be enacted and the still greater rvU of interpreting the law to nit themselves or tha trusts aad corpora tions that art back of them. It is aaly a few moatht ago that tat aatl cantata lav waa set aside by the ad sainittrBttoa aad tt baa become fat soauaaa aetoat for tha president to ret BMfitbart tt ewtsftai to aaaa ltgsfrttaa aai area to reward t rMBBC smJ tower those who t csatxTs, Tat wcUUa rasttt teaCio, at wifls Ca t3 Jt ca iam3 f tit ancr, t rt-rlaa kf aad tit Cjtia n ricrrr.' ff i publican governors with this example before them are equally aggressive. Mora than one governor, says the Washington Post has called an extra jesslon of a legislature to do work which at its regular session it had 1??H?d to do. Osly & ?W mnntki tgo the governor of a, wests rn state, -fter having failed to Induce the leg islature to indorse his hobby, came out In an official deliverance in which he icolded the lawmakers as If they were insubordinate boys who had become consigned to his care. A few days igo the governor of Pennsylvania, act ing under the most remarkable de cision ever rendered by a state Su preme court, went over the appropria tion bills, amending various Items in order to bring the total down to tha estimated income. The constitution gives him authority to veto any item in an appropriation bill. Tbe Supreme court has amended that provision so as to allow him to trim any or all items. No more radical departure from sound principles, no more dangerous precedent, has ever been seen in any American commonwealth. New York has a new constitution In tended to illustrate all that Is best in government Under that instrument, however, we still find the governor all powerful as a promoter of legislation. But it is a fact that in the Empire state the governor Is relied upon to act as captain and pilot for tbe legislative craft ' To a greater or less extent, in a ma jority of the states, the drift is toward the one-man power in making laws. This is partly due to executive ag gression, but chiefly to lack of pride on the part of legislatures. It may sometimes happen that a governor is right and a majority of the law-mak ers wrong in their views of a measure. But the governor who Is not content ith the exercise of his constitutional rights of recommendation and veto may well be sat down upon for ob trusion into legislative domain. MB. BRYAN OS THE STEEL STB IKK. "A strike is on between organised laor asd the Stsl com pany," says the Commoner, "And It seems to involve tbe right of labor to organize for its own protection. President Shaffer, who represents tbe men, is confident of success, while the officers of the Steel trust as yet show no sign of weaken ing. Mr. Shaffer says that the men will not resort to force and that there will be no destruction of property. As long as this promise is kept, public sympathy will be with tbe laboring men. "Tbe right of labor to organize ought not to be questioned, and yet the growth of trusts is directly op posed to the interests of the laboring men, and, as every trust is a menace to the labor organizations, it is strange that any laboring man votes with the trusts. When the head of a great cor poration controls all the factories which employ skilled labor in any par ticular line be Is very likely to dic tate terms. Capital does not need food or clothing. If it remains idle for a month or a year its owner simply loses his income for tbe period of its Idleness, but with the laboring man it is different. His hunger cannot be suspended; bis need for clotnlng and shelter knows no cessation; the chil dren must be cared for, and with all of tbe nation's boasted prosperity the average wage earner is not able to live long without work. Heretofore the laborer has found bis protection in the fact that the employer could not close down his factory for a great length of time without loss of trade and loss of employes. In rase of a strike his business was In danger of being ab sorbed by other firms, and his em ployes were apt to be scattered. When, however, the monopoly of an Industry is complete the employe cannot seek work of a rival firm because there is no rival firm, and he cannot engage in other business without losing the advantage of his skill and experience. It Is to be hoped that the laboring men will win tn the present conflict, but if they were as unanimous on election day as they are when a strike Is or dered they could remedy their griev ances without a strike" or loss of em ployment "The steel trust may prove a bless ing in disguise if it convinces tbe wage earners of the country that 'a private monopoly is indefensible and intoler able.'" WHEBE IS THB COBW BKI.T7 Our good old fsrmer Wilson, Secre tary of Agriculture, hat been talking a good deal lately and trying to ex plain why the "prosperity agents" were not able to keep up the good times promised In Kansas snd Ne braska. Parmer Wilson accuses these states of being In tbe arid be'.f and that even McKlnley with all his power could not save them from a drouth once In a while. This, hat excited the Republican newspapers, who mutt do fend the fertility of their states and they demand that Fanner Wilson at tend to the fret distribution of seeds aad such matters at he understands aad not traduce the most noted states of tht com belt They can't blame tat drouth on tht Democrats of Populists at both these state went (or McKln ley oa the promise of prosperity by Has as.

Jefferson foresaw and forewarned his countrymen of the perils to free government from the encroachment of the federal judiciary. Appointed for life, they are beyond the reach of the people. But some state judges are wanting In the same footsteps and are issuing Injunctions that, like those of the federal judges are an outrageous abuse of power. These state judges are elective and if they are allowed to con tinue beyond their present terms it is tbe fault of the people who re-elect them. In time the federal judiciary can be transformed even with a presi dent subservient to the trusts ap pointing those tbe trusts may dictate, for their confirmation to office has to pass tbe scrutiny of the senate. It be hooves therefore, all wbo believe that this unwarranted and unconstitutional way of punishing cltfzens'without law, should be made impossible, must see that friends of justice only are elected to legislative offices. The conservative newspapers of the country are beginning to discover that government by injunction is a crying evil, for tbe Springfield Republican says: "The stoutest defenders of tbe injunction process as used against striking workmen must admit that It is being rapidly pushed to extremes. From the very nature of the case this is a result to be expected. The power which the courts are using is very elas tic and not clearly defined. A review of the past thirty years would reveal the fact that It haa grown amazingly, not through legislation by tbe people. but through the reasoning and the de cisions of the courts themselves. There are hundreds of judges in this country working under tbe codes of forty-five different states and the nation itself, and each of them may extend the in junction process to suit himself, sub Ject only to the restraining power of a higher court of appeal. As labor conflicts have continued, the tendency to make tbe injunctions more and more sweeping has become very mark ed in all parts of the country. A little extension of the theory of judicial con tempt at one time makes it easy to effect another extension at a later time, so that thines have reached a serious pass in this summer of 1301. GREAT RES I ITS FROM A JOKKT. It is a great comfort to know that Adjt Gen. Corbin has bad his views of matters in the Philippines consid erably broadened by his trip to those islands, though if he bad also told us In what respect this wider view has enlightened him it would have been more satisfactory. Perhaps be finds that It will require at least all the present force there for years to Bubdue the Filipinos, or possibly It may re quire a larger army, "What I have seen," he says, "should be of consld erable benefit to the government." Corbin evidently thinks he can see things that the other military officers have been unable to discover, though he has only had a few days to observe tbem. How thankful we should be that we have a Corbin to look around for us and at the same time "affording him great pleasure personally" at gov ernment expense. It Is true, his duty requires him to be at Washington, for we are paying Inspector Generals and their aids to do tbis kind of work, but their efforts seem to have been useless. When Corbin gets home how easily our troubles over there will vanish and the "considerable benefits" will at once be put Into active operation. But there Is a cloud banging over this good time coming, for Corbin says it is the "government" that is to be benefited and his Idea of the government Is Mc Klnley and the Republican party, to probably all these great benefits are to Insure to the perpetuation of the party in pcw?r, tn tha timber syndicates, the railroad exploiters and the hundred and one others who have hung around Corbin since tbe commencement of the war with Spain. Many of these sre now rich that were poor as church mice, but there are a number of tbem who would not object to other consid erable benefits, and if there are any good things going there are other com patriots of Hanna and Company who will demand their sbsre. That the people here or In tbe Philippines will receive any considerable benefit fiom tbe Corbin junket Is very doubtful. tAMPSOX-SCRLEY. The inside history of the Schley Sampson controversy can be under stood when It is remembered that Ad miral Schley comes of old Maryland Democratic stock and the administra tion was very zealous that no Demo crat should achieve greatness in the Spanish war. It also happened that he waa a few points ahead of Sampson on tot navy list of officers and should bave been given the command of (he fleet Instead of Sampson, but the latter was a pet of the administration. If Admiral Schley bid not won tbe bat tit of Santiago or had allowed the Spanish fleet to escape, be would have beta responsible and not Sampson, who waa miles away and did not ap pear in the New York until the fight tag was all over. The remarks of Captain Kulate, who commanded tbe Viacaya Id tht battle, "I never saw aaythtng grander or more terrible taaa tht Brooklyn la action," Is the roof that Admiral Schley waa ia tht Boat of tat had aad did hit fair Czn Is izxxttt 0 Calah Cttt The "Bureau of Fabrication" of tbe navy department may Injure bis repu tation but they cannot ignore the great victory he won. JOUNSOM AMD TBI DODUEBS. r f 1 . .1 . n rt la more and more attracting the atten tion of thinking people in bis crusade for reform In taxation. That be is en tirely sincere and is devoting his best efforts to these reforms is now con ceded. The great merit of tbe fight of Tom Johnson against the railroads, who have been paying but a tithe of the taxes that others bave, is that he is undertaking to reform the corrupt system that has grown up In a legal and sensible way and thus has drawn to his aid those wbo for political rea sons voted against his election. The reforms that be Is at work at are thus noted by the New York Herald, which says: "In a temperate, sensible dis cussion of the real nature of the issue of plutocracy, Mayor Johnson of Cleve land calls for a national campaign against privilege. "No privilege to loot, thrdugh tariff or other legislation or a non-enforce ment of tbe law against 'conspiracies in restraint of trade.' "No privileges to shirk a Just share of the expenses of government through legislative and executive connivance in tax-dodging. "Where the laws bind one they must bind all equally. Where the laws loose one, they must loose sll equally. Until equality before tbe law has been restored and has been tried as a rem edy for existing Injustices it Is folly to discusss other remedies. And, as Mr. Johnson suggests, here is an issue that ill, If properly, sanely, Intelligently stated, attract all Democrats and repel and alarm no honest citizen of this democracy. A BLACK DANGER. The dispatches report that the steel trust Is Importing negroes to take the places of the striking iron workers at all the principal mills. It is hardly possslble that Mr. Morgan can be so shortsighted as to undertake to defy public opinion In this way, for be must know there is a very strong prejudice In nearly all northern communities against an Increase of the negro popu lation, especially amongst white work Ingmen. If it is the intention of tbe trust to bring about trouble, that can only end after many lives have been sacrificed, it Is certainly taking the very course that will do so. And the public will be on the side of the white men when, if the trouble was only between union and non-union labor they would be merely neutral, as they are at present. No one believes that the Imported negro Is to permanently take the place of the strikers, for their skill cannot equal theirs and their labor Is therefore not as profitable. And if force is to be used it will be found that the forces of the law and the military will not shoot down white Americans as they have foreigners In tbe strikes of tbe past The extraordinary changes that are insidiously being made In the manage ment of the affairs of the United States and In tbe fundamental principles up on which the government was founded are overlooked by many In the modern fight for the almighty dollar. We are sowing the wind and will reap the whirlwind hereafter. The Cincinnati Enquirer points out -the danger when it says: "We make the declaration that the difference between the Re publican and Democratic party is, 'Shall constitutional liberty continue to tbe people of the United States of America?' The work of the Repub lican party Is not of a convulsive char acter. On the contrary, still profess ing unalterable devotion to our form of government, tbe most insidious means and methods are hourly being employed to sap the foundations of liberty, and, In deceit, but not bold ness, barter tbe heritage bequeathed to us by them who were patterns of patriotism and wise beyond all the generations of men." The increase of tbe standing army Is an enormous drain on the treasury and will, like the pension drain, never grow less as long as the people -permit tbe extravagance. "The pay of the American soldier," says the Rochester Herald, "Is about $180 per year, and his ration comes to about $110 more. If we call these two Items of psy and food $300 and deduct this sum from the $1,014 which be annually costs his government, we have left $714 per man, which must go for other Items. Hence the American soldier costs his government, for certain unexplalnable and unancertalnable Items, nearly five times as much as the total expense of maintenance of the Russian, and three and one-balf times as much as the German. Why la this and where does the money go are questions that may wisely be made tbe subject of con gressional Inquiry." The Utopian idea of Representative Hepburn of Iowa that he can get hit brother Republicans to change tht rules of the house and deprive tbe speaker of his autocratic powers is nonsense. He will find the "bog com bine" quite as compact as In the last congress. As tbe lieutenant governor of Illinois said recently, those are the days of combines In politics -and legis lation as well as In production and trade. The trusts control congress through their combination with tht Republican machine and even If tht rules were changed tht trusts would rule. There will be ao legislation to hurt tha trusts or help the people until tome of tht present members art left at home aad tblt tht people taoald ate to sett roar. Telegraph Wires fcaM aa mww.
