THE TREATY HOLD UP
QUESTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL PRO
CEDURE INVOLVED.
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,

its country and foreign countries art
i- the popular branch of congress shall
nave decided, as the constitution re
quires it shall decide, what the rev
enue laws shall produce for the needs
of the government. 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

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.—
