Washington, November 27.-Admin-
istration officers do not expect that the
so-called open door" policy will take
an important position in the discus
sions of the coming session of Con-
gress. but believe debate on this mat
ter viii wait on the final disposition
OF the Philippines. A prominent off,
cial to-day said:
THE phrase open door is of limited
application. and has been used only
with reference to possessions of the
European powers on the East coast Of
Asia Originating in the treaty Of
open ports Of China and Japan, tho
words have been extended to cover
ports which China has leased or sur
rendered to foreign powers, The
phrase means that in such ports the
alien government has in fact imposed
no determinations in tariff or naviga-
ton charges against imports or yes
sells of other countries. but has treated
them on the same plane as its own
imports and its own vessels. In other
words foreign powers holding Chinese
| ports by
SEIZURE OR TREATY
hive merely announced that they will
keep open such ports in the same man
ner that China has opened certain free
ports to the commerce or nations with
] out discrimination or favor. The
| open door policy has been politically
obligatory 9s the reverse policy would
be in direct hostility to the purpose of
| civilized nations. steadily pursued for
years and eoneurred In by China, OF
| opening the Asiatic trade to commerce.
THE phrase open door has no per-
thence to the western hemisphere and
no relevancy to the West Indies. The
matter has been completely misunder-
stood by foreign newspapers, giving
| the phrase an application to this con-
tinent. The United States restricts
trade between ports TO American ves-
sells, precisely as the Dominion OF
Canada restricts trade to British YES
eals hetwaan Canadian ports Under
the British law any nation which elects
to allow British vessels to engage IN
its eoasting trade
| CAN OBTAIN THE PRIVILEGE
Of entering the coasting trade OF
| Canada, The United States has never
availed itself of this opportunity. hold
Ing that the privilege to be granted Is
very much more valuable than the
| privilege to be obtained.
THE restriction OF trade between
the United States and Porto Rico to
| American vessels Is based on the poll
icy which the United States has always
! followed under all administrations, a
fact overlooked by the European press.
There seems to be no disposition here
| to change this policy in this sphere.
| from the mere fact that by the possess
sion of the Philippines the United
| States must determine whether 1t will
follow the open door policy OF other
nations with possessions by seizure or
| concession on the east coast of Asia.
Commercially. the restriction of the
trade between the United States and
Porto Rico is of relatively little mo-
ment as the direct commerce Is very
small and is absorbed by American
and Canadian vessels. The value Of
Porto Rico is as a fulerum Tor the de-
velopment of American commerce in
the West Indies"

While the storm was heaviest in the
southeastern part of New England, the
whole district was affected and expert

twentyfour inches, and as the centre
of the disturbance moved down the
main coast that section and the prov

Fortunately, The storm was heralded
sufficiently in advance by the weather
bureau to detain most of the coast
wise shipping in safe harbors, but the
warning was entirely unheeded and
ignored by those on shore, with the
result that nearly every one, especially
I the railroads and electric companies,
WERE CAUGHT MAPPING
and suffered accordingly. There was
not a railroad in New England that
was not more or less tied up by the
heavy fall of snow and the great drifts,
and the roads running along the coast,
like the New York, New Haven 4
Hartford, and the Boston e Maine, had
the added difficulty of frequent wash
outs in places exposed to the heavy
seas.
Trains north, east, south and west

night, Although one train from Bangor
reached Lynn this noon, and two Chi

electric ears, service was even worse.

The service in this city was probably
the best of any of the surrounding

no attempt made to run more than a

one or two others OF The main thor

Z Only the barest reports were re-
ceived up to o'clock tonight of the
effects of the storm on the coast. but
even those few lines gave rise to the
gravest fears as to the safety of the
little shipping that may have been off

New York Press.
There is a regular business in the sale of
addresses which has ruined some and
proved profitable to others. The bucket

IRENE to get names of good people through
out the country for the purpose of roping

ton with every one. One firm offers for

mean that only about one-quarter of the
jewellers are responsible? Another list of
fered is ''1,33S schools, girls selected Sc
lected for what? What selected, girls or
schools?
These lists of addresses are useful in
many ways. Without a mailing list no
new publication can obtain admittance to
poStoffice Most of such lists are frauds,
but the third assistant postmaster general
doesn't bother himself TO ask If the people
are alive or dead. I have knowledge of a
presently prosperous publication that got
into the mails through the medium of a
mailing list half a century old, with a
certainty that four-ffths of the persons
named were dead. But let that pass. A
banking house in Wall street. not far from
William, sent out 6O00 circulars the other
day calling attention to d railroad deal.
The firm selling the list guaranteed it to
be 'alive and responsible" Edward Becht-
oldt, the king of green goods men," had

country, and | am sure he swindled nine

RiIey's Dream of Politics.


Mr.. Riley sat in his room i'm the Iroquois
this morning and told a reporter for the
Enquirer how politics would be if he had
anything to do with it. Mr.. Rieys ideas
would be as comprehensive to the average
politician as an English grammar to a resi-
dent of Canal street. Mr.. Riley doesn't
know anything about politics-the politics
of to-day. The real state of affairs would
be a shock to the Hc0ser poet who wrote
THAT Old Sweetheart Of Mine. He is
thoroughly satisfied to go on dreaming that
the Illusion he tries 10 make real truly eX
lists.
Honesty. faithfulness. meekness. fitness,
truthfulness and the essence of faith. hope
and charity should be the materials used
to make the politician" Mr.. Riley said.
"All my ideal politicians are men of such
virtues. Who are they? All, they my
friends but | can't tell you their names
an introduction See how they work for
the public good. There is no personal strife
every one of them has given up AL thought
of Self-all they think OF is the welfare of
the high principles they represent. In my
land of politics the candidates themselves
are the electors-they admit their defeats
and acknowledge supremacy. A case of the
survival of the fitteSt by unanimous and
loving consent. In other words, one large,
affectionate mutual admiration society-all
the world in love, Will politics ever reach
such a stage? / tell YOU politics is SO now-in
my land of politics and that's the only kind
Of politics | know anything about and Mr..
Riley sat as If watching the phantom figures
engaging in carrying on the labor of that
wonderful and ever delightful dreamland;
where strife is stranger and the doors are
barred with truth.
AS Mr.. Riley's thoughts seemed TO revert
to that dreamland of politics a Roosevelt
band of Buffalo Rough Enough Riders
marched down Main street playing Get
Your Moneys Worth and the last vestige
of fragrant atmosphere of Riley's land of
politics vanished in their vapors through
the partly open window.
