II is hardly an unreasonable demand
that Senator Vest makes when he insists
there shall be at least quorum Of SEN
ators present when pension bills are con-
sidered. Even Southern man may fairly
object 10 the spectacle that used TO be
common when Senator Sawyer was the
Chairman of the Pension Committee
when he would bring in hundred bills
before dozen yawning or busy senators
and rush the lot through in twenty min
utes These bills take money out of the
Treasury and the Senate ought TO be con-
vinced that they are proper before allow

TO ASK FOR RELIEF.
The Lake Carriers Resent Discrimi
mating Tolls.


The Anglo-American Joint High Com
mission met at $3.50 O'Clock yesterday
morning in the Sumner annex of the Ar
lington The session lasted only thirty
minutes, when the British commissioners
withdrew to consider private matter of
Importance The American commissioners
adjourned at II a. m.
Representatives from the Lake Carriers
Association, from Chicago. Cleveland, Os-
wego and Ogdensburg. will appear before
the American commissioners this morning
and urge the abolition of the discrimina-
tive tolls on the Welland Canal.
The members of this association claim
that the tolls greatly injure American
traffic on the Great Lakes, especially with
wheat and coal The representatives
state that there are now 5.0OO.O00 bushels
Of wheat congested at Buffalo on account
of these tolls.

yellow jack. Operations.


The South would not be the only beneficiary
If yellow fever were curbed suppressed. The
whole country would be participants in the bene-
fits. Whenever there is an outbreak of yellow
fever, railroad traffic is demoralized; business is
crushed; merchants go TO the wall and their
creditors suffer- Worse than all there is great
loss of life.

Der. That was the sole issue of gen.
eral nature, and Republicans and DEM
ocrats alike regarded the returns as
conclusive. As reason why trop-
ical possessions are not wanted they
urge the unfitness of tropical races for
republicanism. Yet they maintain that
We have no right to refuse independ-
ence to the islanders who have been
freed from the Spanish yoke by our
war with Spain. Now, if a tropical
people are. unfit for Independent self
government, by imposing it on them
we condemn them to a destructive Sc
ries of revolutions and to anarchy.
Even the oppressive rule of Spain is
better than the chaos that must ensue
when savages attempt an independent
government.
The Boston prospectus affirms that
we owe no responsibility to the Fill
pinos and have no mission to provide
good government for them, because
our navy won victory at Manila"
That does not describe the situation by
any means. The representative of our
Government entered into positive rela-
uons with the natives who We're in re-
bellion against Spain and who would
never have achieved success but for our
intervention. We provided arms and
ammunition for their use and on one
occasion captured a Spanish stronghold
and placed 1t in their possession. Hav-
Ing co-operated with them in the over
throw of the only authority existing in
the islands. we can have no moral right
either TO restore Spanish sovereignty or
to subject the citizens of property and
the non-combatants to the kind of mis-
rule which these provincialists say we
must expect from tropical peoples. They
make the diabolical assertion that our
duties are all at home and imply that
the persecution and massacre which
must follow our withdrawal If their
charges against the tropical people are
true, are of no concern to us. Cain
did not have more sangfroid in deny
ing all responsibility for his brother
in shirking every duty that is fraught
with the least danger to their ease.
Did not the response of the American
people to the Presidents declaration of
war against Spain prove that this cow
ardly selfishness Is not characteristic
of anybody but an un-American minor
ity? We owed less of duty to the
Cubans when we interviewed between
them and their oppressor than We do
to the people of the Philippines. Yet
people assumed that mission all the
world knows. The reckless affirma tons
of the Boston provincialists, echoed by
Senator Hoar and few others, are a
condemnation of the war and of every
patriot who died, was wounded or sick
ened. or offered his life for the freedom
of Cuba, and of every patriot who SYM
pathized with the American army. A
man may be opposed to the annexation
of the Philippines and still approve OF
the war in behalf of Cuba; but the man
who says We owe no duty to the people
of the Philippines plainly condemns
that war. The proyincialist league that
declares it TO be our sole duty Ito Sc
ity of our own people" only, regardless
of the claims of common humanity,
the claims of suffering and the appeals
of the helpless, announces itself as out
of harmony with the American people
who approved the war against Spain.
