Action of the Senate Establishes the }>reeedent Tlint Concurrence of the liouHe lu Neceuory Before Tariff Dutlen Can De Changed. Tliort? is n disposition In some quar ters to criticise the United States Ben lite for appending the clause to the Cuban treaty requiring approval by both houses of congress before the in strument shall go into effect. Senator I'latt is inclined to think that too much of a concession was made to the' beet sugar and tobacco growers by this action. Two members of the Repub lican end of the foreign relations eom l.iittoe are dissatisfied because the ac tion was taken, preferring that the matter had been left open for a deci sion by the courts. Aside from any questions relating toi the sugar and tobacco interests in thi United States, it is .certain that if tty change had not been made requiring approval by congress the treaty woulj not have been ratified by the rather decisive majority secured. A numlut of southern senators who voted for ratification would never have consent ed to the proposition that the president and the senate of the United States have power to make changes in tie customs laws of the country withapt participation by the house of repf sentatives in the matter. It is also that a number of Republican s«- atovs, some of whom have no objection to reciprocity with Cuba, would ijot have been willing to vote for ratifica tion if it was to be understood that the changes in the customs laws woulugo into effect without sanction by .the house. It is rather surprising, In view ofjthe deep interest felt in this matter; by some of the ablest men in congfcss, that the action of the senate in post poning the full effect of the treat# un til the sense of the house of representa tives could be tested should be subject ed to so much complaint lu some bar ters, and there are charges that It was a hold up on the part of the bett sugar and tobacco states senators to prevent the treaty being carried into elect be fore next winter. Certainly tlij consti tutional lawyers in the house v9io have examined the question do not vgard it in that light. Regardless of aiy opin ion as to the merits of reelproci*, these members and some of the leading sen ators see in the Cuban treaty as it was by some proposed to be tarried out, a constitutional question iof the Utmost importance. They do lot be lieve that under the terms of tie con stitution the president and senati have power to make effective a treaty Which changes the customs and revenui lawa of the country unless the hoiist ap proves of such changes. Some «jf the members go even further than \tliat and assert that the house must itake the initiative in authorizing the triaty. The latter class of representative! as sert that the changes in the cufom laws provided for in this reciprocity treaty will not be legal even if the house approves of the treaty now 'iiat it has been ratified by the senate. \ It is by some of the best lawyers! in congress regarded as a question of tjie utmost importance that treaties which change the revenue laws shall be mafie only in accordance with the terms of the United States constitution. It is believed by these representative me»i to be a matter of such importance be cause if it should be held that the pres ident and senate may by a treat? change the revenue' and customs laws, as was proposed in the Cuban treaty.', there is no telling what future presi dents and senates may elect to do In giving away the public revenues, clianiring the trade relations between / ' There's Ample !i Security for every dollar you deposit with this Company.

Those who look ut this important question in that light regard it as of more importance that the letter and spirit of the constitution be respected In the making of treaties or laws than that reciprocity with Cu ba shall be carried into effect this sum mer or next winter.— A. J. D. A Motes Needed In New Jersey-. The Democratic newspapers are go ing to a whole lot of unnecessary trou ble in their endeavor to locate a leader for the Republican party in New Jer sey. The Republicans are competent to take care of themselves, a truth to which election figures of the past eight years attest. Our Democratic friends should give all their time to the search for a Moses for their own party, which just now appears to be without head or tail.— Trenton (N. J.) Gazette.
