THE CONTESTED SENATORSHIP.

There is good ground for believing
that despite the great Republican ma
jority in the United States Senate, that
body will not endorse the theft of the
West Virginia Se%natorship, and that
the desperate and shrewd scheming of
the revolutionists at Charleston to
elect Scott will go for naught.
1t is u~nquestionably true that if the
Senate shall in this case display any
regard for the law it will not seat
Mr.. Scott, and there are said to be a
sufficient number of honorable Repub-
licans in that body to uphold the law,
especially since Mr.. SCOTS vote is not
needed by the Republican party in the
Senate. 1t is consequently believed in
Charleston that Mr.. SCOTS glory will
not last long after March 4, when his
credentials will be passed upon, and
he will be turned down.
This, of course, is mere rumor, but it
is largely credited as having good
basis and is quoted as the reason why
the Republican leaders who manip-
ulated things for Scott are now anxious
for an extension of the session until
after March 4, when they hope, by hook
or crook to elect Mr.. Scott, or some
other Republican acceptable to Mr.. Ell
kins, legally.
But how this can be done when thew
have no legal majority on joint ballot
to begin with is not made clear. More
over, with absentees on the Republican
side-one dangerously i'll and another,
Senator Farr, booked for appointment
Immediately after the close of the reg
ular session to succeed Judge Freer,
and with both Senator Kidd and Dele
gate Den voting with the Democrats,
there would be more than a likelihood
of the election of a Democrat should
the joint assembly meet again. And
Jul Republican friends are too shrewd
to lose sight of these contingencies.

A BRILLIANT OFFICIAL

Parkersburg Sentinel.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has again reversed himself, and now
holds that money cannot be drawn from
a deposit in bank on a receipt that is
unstamped.
A list of the honorable commission
er's reversals would be longer thar the
list of first rulings telling what the law
was in relation to stamp duties. Very
few, perhaps none at all, of the inter-
by the commissioner when the law be-
came effective remained very long with
out being changed.

ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL ERRoR.u
In his Boston Home Market speech
on the subject of the Philippines the
President. said:

LII LIS DOolOA ICIIC Wal nc opCCCu
or the subject of the Philippines the
President said:
at is not a good time for the liberators
to submit important questions concerning
liberty n government to the liberated
while they are engaged in shooting down
their rescuers."
Now, it will strike all who have been
reading the Philippine news that in
stead of the liberated" (the F~ilipinos)
shooting down the "rescuers" (the
Americans), the rescuers themselves
have done a very large majority of the
shooting down-a majority of m
thing like 1000 dead Filipinos.
Commenting on another phase of
this radical error of fact, the Republi-
can Pittsburg Dispatch says:
1.-The United States came into contact
with the Philippines, by reason of the
friendship and support of the latter. 1t
is a part of the official record that they
acted in concert with Admiral Dewey,
that they shut up the Spaniards in Manila
for US, that they gave our troops the
positions in the line which they needed,
and that after Manila was taken they
respected the wishes of our Generals.
Under their arrangements with Dewey,
Williams, Wildman and Pratt, they GER
tainly had a claim to expect some re-
turn for their aid and friendship. But
with the arrival of the United States
troops some malign influence dictated
that they should be ignored and ebuffed
From June to January they urged and
begged for a hearing. They declared
again and again that they wanted the
friendship and protection of the United
States. They sent ENJOYS to Washing
ton and Paris to ask that they be heard,
and were rebuffed at both places. 1t is
an i~ndisputable fact that a little kind
ness, a little liberation for their aspira-
tons for a national existence, would have
prevented the present outbreak; and it is
TO the density and persistence of the re-
fusal to give them the slightest consider
alton that every American life and every
Philippine sacrifice in the present strug-
gle must be charged"

A HOT ONE FOR CONGRESS.

The Mothers Congress and the Ma
tional Council of Women had rather
warm times over the case of Polygam-
list Roberts, Of Utah, in their recent SEES
sions at Washington. OF course, both
bodies were overwhelmingly in favor
of denying Mr.. Roberts a seat in the
national law-making body, but the
meetings were not SO harmonious that
there was no debate On the subject.
During the discussion Col. Susan B.
Anthony could not resist the tempta-
ton to get in a side swipe at the old
enemy, man, in general.
I'VE have laws she said, sin all our
States to punish men who violate the
laws of homogeneous marriage, but if we
should go up to Congress would we not
find men there who upon investigation
would be punishable under these laws?
Why, then, should be go way out to Utah
to seek out a man to p%unish?'
This is nothing less than a redhot
shot at the moral, or, rather, immoral,
conditions existing right at the ma
tional capital, conditions which every
man in Congress, if not every mar in
the country, knows exist, conditions
that are worse and mor immoral and
degraded than polygamy.
More power to Col. Anthony! 1t
were, indeed, well for Congress to first
cast the beam out of its W eye before
probing for notes in the eye of Mr..
Roberts of Utah.

and bloody subjugation of the Filipinos

No wonder Gen. Jewett cannot blame
Aguinaldo for losing all faith in our

Even had Aguinaldo had the Pres
idents Home Market speech to gather
information from at the very start as
to our policy, be would have been none
the lessin thedark, unless that u~tteranee
should have confirmed his suspicious,
as it has those Of intelligent people at

guised by his sugary and meaningless
phrases concerning obligation"

CARNEGIE VS.. MckINLEY.

In a letter to the New York World
Mr. Andrew Carnegie takes up the fol-
lowing statement from the Presidents
Boston speech:
The Philippines, like Cuba and Puerto
Rico, were intrusted to our hands by
war"
The long-headed Scotchman shows
how the President juggles with the
facts in this statement. ION the on
trary," says he, 1.-The protocol, signed
as the result of the war, provided for
the Philippines, mot like Cuba and
Porto Rico but expressly reserved
them for negotiations with Spain as
to their future control, disposition and
government The Philippines have
been Entrusted to us solely by the I'M
expected demand for them made by
the President himself after he had sud
denly changed his mind, which was at
first that we should not burden our
selves with them. The Senate asked
him t. lay before it his instructions or
correspondence with the commission
ers which would have proved this, but
he refused.
The Philippine burden is not charge
able to the war;" continues Mr.. Car
negie. THAT is the Presidents own
pandora box-his New Years gift to
his country, for which he alone is re-
sponsible. Neither Congress nor the
people had any voice in the matter.
But one need not wonder why he should
now attempt to evade the responsible
ity, since he tells us that Every red
| drop, whether from the veins of an
American soldier, or a misguided Fill
Pine, is anguish to my heart His con-
science smites him. No wonder. The
guilty Macbeth also cried OUT: Thou
canst not say that l did it,"

Upon the arrival of the various naval
re-enforcements now IN the way to
Manila the jurisdiction of the United
States will be extended over the whole
of the Philippine archipelago. Naval
vessels, especially the light-draught
gunboats, will visit the various islands,
accompanied by army transports bear
ing soldiers, who will land and hoist
the flag. AS there are some twelve
hundred Philippine islands, though not
all of them of course inhabited, it will
be seen that the heft of our troubles
there is yet to begin.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
THE CONTINUED STRENGTH or
STAPLE TdLUES.

This Accumulated by Farther Advances
In Iron and Steel and Other Metals,
ana In Cotton and Lumber Has Added
Confidence I'm the Outlook for the
Year
New York. Jan. 20.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow win say: The continued
strength of staple values, accumulated
this week by further advances in iron
and steel and other metals, in cotton at
the south and in lumber at some west
ern points, has undoubtedly added to
the confidence with which the outlook
for the ensuing year is regarded. Good
trade advices from abroad, reduced
movement at the south and tendency
to pare down estimates are reflected in
the slight gain in raw cotton values
this week. The iron trade situa ton re-
mains feature of absorbing interest.
Large as the production of pig iron is,
eager buyers are found apparently for
every ton offered. Most furnaces are
reported booked ahead on orders, and
some advances are frankly stated to be
due to the desire of makers to discour-
age orders incapable Of fulfllment with
in any reasonable period.
Features of the domestic market have
been gains in prices of Bessimer and
southern pig, steel billets, wire rods and
steel rails and, in addition, copper and
lead and tin are all higher. Little
change is reportable in the market for
cereals, and the market for cash wheat
still reflects the commanding position
held by the United States as the sup
plier of the worlds wheat
There is a perceptible Improvement
in the demand for dry goods, particu-
larly cotton fabrics, at New York and
Boston, where late advances are firmly
held. There is also more doing in dress
woolens at those markets. The lumber
trade market is in a satisfactory cond1-
ton.
Raw wool is dull, but steady. The
outlook In the boot and shoe trade Is
regarded as good, and a fair business
is doing at steady prices in hides and
LEATHER.
