But what does the Constitution sig

Absolutely nothing. From one viola

1t was useless to show how utterly
worthless would be the Philippines to
the people of this country and our
powlessness to govern them with credit
to ourselves and with satisfaction to
the natives The placing on a level
with the American workman of all
these half-clad semi-savages of an in
ferior racial this availed nothing.
But beyond this stupidity, beyond the
criminal avarice that prompted the adj
ministration to this disgraceful error,
is the shock that our government, as
a republic, must sustain. It is not only
in direct opposition to our traditions,
repugnant to our ideas of government
but it is an exercise of power unwor-
ranted by the Constitution-the exer-
else of anarchistic authority only.

The President in his mad delusion
seems unconscious that his authority
is circumscribed one. The intoxi-

relative to Cuba-all continue to sur
prise the thinking public, who see in
these acts nothing more or less than
usurpations of the powers of Congress.
But what does a little thing like a
constitution signify to a latter-day
Republican? Nothing, absolutely
nothing.
Our form of government has been
grossly subverted.

A MOURNFUL PAGE
IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

There is sorrow 10 Columbia'S neart.
Her banner that was the symbol of a
free people has been sullied and dis
graced. 1t should be draped in crepe
and fioated at half mast until the close
of the present administration.
The great democratic republic that
sat proudly between two oceans and re-
ceived the respectful homage of the
world is the object of ridicule and
abuse Her honesty once stood unchal-
lenged in every land-the sincerity of
her word is now doubted by every ma
ton of the earth.
What is the cause of this distressing
retrOgressiOn? William Mckinley in
his fiendishness, in his insane ambition
to appear in the pages of history as
builder to the nation, is sacrificing
the country on the altar of self-glorifi-
cation.
By his feeble and vacillating course
he has compromised even his honor,
and has demonstrated beyond doubt a
marked incapacity for dealing with
great problems. He presents the spec
tacle of a man of inferior talents in
vested with great responsibilities.
statements and the reiteratiOns of Con-
gress, in placing us before the world
as a nation of self-cOnfessed liars.
In doing this he has sacrificed the es-
sential principle that has made us great
and enduring.
He has declared that the principles
embodied in the Declaration of indie
pendence, upon which our government
is founded, are false.
Upon the famous Liberty Bell
which announced our independence to
the world are the words: proclaim lib
erty throughout the land unto all the
inhabitants thereof" Would William
Mckinley, with the sun-tanned Ha-
waiian on one side, the Filipino on the
other, dare ring that bell now?
Instead of being a servant of the
people, guided by the Constitution, it
seems that he is acting under the i'm
preston that he is superior to the will
of the people, and that he overshadows
the government; that he is the peO-
pies master and the legitimate eX-

ESTIMATES COMMITTEE TONIGHT.
Democrats Are Ready TO Present
Their Amended Appropriations.

Tcnights meeting of the joint esti-
mates committee of councils gives
premise of being a satisfactory session.
Tho Democrats on account of their
majority will be permit ai to present
an amended appropriation ordinance
and it will I've approved.
No other course than this Is open to
the Republican minority. 1t might OBJ
jeCt and debate but II could not over
come the wishes of the Democrats. The
result would be an unnecessary delay.
1t is possible however, that in some
made by the Republicans will meet
with Democratic approval.
If the ordinance as amended and re-
vised for presentation to councils con-
tains items seriously objected to by the
Republican majority in select council,
it will be amended there. If common
council does not concur in the amend
ments a compromise will be effected
by a joint conference committee con-
sisting of an equal number of members
from each branch.
Mr.. Grier, the recognized leader of
the Democratic majority, denied to a
Tribune reporter last night that the
Democrats had prepared an appropria-
tiOn ordinance. On being told of Mr..
Grier's statement another Democratic
member of the committee said that Mr..
Grier had spoken correctly in a literal
sense, but that the Democrats would
have ready and would present charges
they had decided upon. The changes
would reduce the estimates below the
revenue of $295, 100.

THREE MORE EXCEPTIONS.
Yesterday Was the Last Day Allowed
for Filing Them.

Yesterday the last day for filing ex-
ceptlons to liquor license applications
brought forth three more formal pro-
tests.
one was from the trustees and con-
gregatlon of the First Presbyterian
church and was directed against the
application of E. j. Walsh, who con-
templates wholesale house at the
corner of Lackawanna and Washing
ton avenues. The proximity to the
church property is what gives rise to
the opposition.
An exception was filed by Attorney
w. w. Lathrope to the application of
Charles +. Lee Of Waverly, the ground
for the objection being the insufficient
cy of Lees bond, it being alleged that
neither of the sureties is worth $4,000
in real estate above all incumberances.
The third exception is taken by John
F. Lacoe to the application of stephen
Wickizer, of Newton. 1t is alleged
that Wickizer is not a resident of this
county, having moved his family and
household goods to Susquehanna coun-
ty over a year ago, that the building
to be licensed, as designated by Wick
izer's petition is not only not in exist
ence but the cellar, even, has not yet
been dug; that W. r. Cooper and II.
Tarbrake, two of the signers of the
petition, for the license, have since
signed the remonstrance against it.
All three exceptions are supplement-
ary to a previous exception or remon-

PLENTY Of MONEY TOBURN
GAINED BY AMERICAN
ADMIRALS.
Sampson Gets the Lions Share-Dew-
ey Comes in Second, Very Far Be
hind, and Schley Close Third.

The financial results of the late war
to the great naval leaders, Sampson,
Schley and Dewey, are summed up as
follows, by the San Francisco Argo-
naut:
If public reports are correct Admi-
raj Schley's pecuniary return in boun-
ty money comes to about $6.125. His
promotion from rear admiral to COM
modore carried him over the heads of
six officers of the latter grade. In or
binary course, had the war not taken
place, he would have become a rear
admiral in 1901, and have retired in
October of the same year. He therefore
reaches his highest grade about two
years and four months earlier than he
would have done, and gains in all
about $4,000 difference in pay. Total
apparent returns to Admiral Schley,
therefore, $S,425.
1t has been estimated that the val
lie of the prizes captured by Rear Adj
miral SIMPSONS fleet is $3.000.0OO; of
this the commander in chiefs share
would be one-twentieth, or $150,0OO.
Assume that he nets but half that or
$4,000. The bounty money for the
Santiago victory is estimated at $254.-
600, and of this the admial's share
would be $12,250. Ordinarily Admiral
Sampson would not have attained the
rear admirars grade before his re-
tirement for age, which occurs in Feb
ruary, 1902. He thus gains about
$4,000 increase of pay while on the ac-
tive list and (taking expectancy of
life at age siXty-two to be twelve
years. $4,000 while on the retired list.
Total apparent returns to Admiral
Sampson, therefore, $99,750.
Now, whatever may be said or ar
gued concerning Schley and Sampson,
there has been one great reputation
made which is unblemishable and in
disputable, and that belongs to Rear
Admiral George Dewey. So far from
lapse of time and the appreciation of
details detracting from the splendor
of his achievement, every added fact
enhances it. His fight was so COM
! pletely an admirals victory, so entire
| ly the result of his own individual ge-
MUS, audacity and skill, that the re-
wards bestowed upon his command
ing officers seem almost needless. The
| bounty money allotted for the de-
struction of the Spanish feet at Mani
la is $17S, 400-about the value of one
torpedo boat, and little more than
half the amount we paid for the Mer-
rimac, which Hobson sank at Santa
go. OF this Admiral Dewey's share is
$500. He was promoted from COM
modore to rear admiral in May, 1898,
passing over two seniors. He would
have reached the same grade in Sep
TENDER in ordinary advancement had
there been no war. His normal pro
motion was therefore anticipated by
only about five months, and he gained
thereby about 800. He retires for
age on December &c, 1899. Total ap.
parent returns to Admiral Dewey
therefore, 5000.
