Society of American Authors.

The Society of American Authors
has undertaken in all seriousness, to
combat the present postal rates on
authors manuscripts. Allsuch matter
is regarded by the Postoffice as if it
were personal correspondence and is
charged at letter rates.
There are in this country slightly
over 20, 900 men and women, who out
side Of editors and employees, strive to
live by the pen. Taken in its entirety
the mental activity of this class has
placed our country in the forefront of
the world for literary productivity.
Yet to the few only are there any re-
wards commensurate with the toll and
the thought and the strain that are the
lot of those who feel within them the
literary compulsion.
The Society of American Authors
ask from the country not merely a men
ton of the approaching endeavor in
Congress, but expressed editorial APP
proval of the effort, if such can be con-
scientiously given. TO have full effect
this editorial should be sent marked
to the congressman and the senators
from the state in which it appears, and
the Society would be additionally hon
ored if copy could be sent to it's
rooms at II Broadway, n. Y.

People who are exercised over
the assertion that the extension of
the tariff lines around the island of
Porto Rico would prove disadvan-
tageous to our sugar producing
interests, forget that the island
itself is less than half the size of
the State of Massachusetts, and that
the sugar producing area is simply
q fringe along the water's edge.
Porto Rico's sugar expectation in
her best years amounted to but
about So, ,OOO,OO very small per-
centage of the sugar which we are
compelled to buy from foreign
countries; while by eliminating the
tariff lines and accepting her pro-
ducts which we require, we open
for ourselves Il market for SD,
900, 900 annually Of farm products
and manufactures which the peO-
pie Of that island are compelled to
import and would buy exclusively
from us if our tariff lines were eX-
tended around the island.

The Churches and Expansions.

Archbishop Chapelle, the Papelle dele
gate to the Philippines, declares that he
favors the retention of the Islands by the
United States. "They should be ours"
he said son moral, legal, commercial,
sociological and religious grounds" =" A
similar view was expressed by Bishop
Doane of Albany, n. Y, in his address
to the Protestant Episcopal Missionary
Council in session in st. Louis The
alternative which the United States took
in its attitude towards the Philippines, he
says, is ''the one which ought to have
been taken and it must be continued
1t was boasted by the anti-expansion-
lists at the outset that the Catholic church
in the United States would oppose the
course of the administration in exercising
for the country supreme control over the
islands, the Catholic being the dominant
religion in the Philippines, so far as
Christianity Of any kind is found in
them. 1t turns out in this case as in all
others that the enemies OF expansion
have been mistaken. Not only does the
Catholic Church offer no opposition to
the policy of the Administration, but it
earnestly applauds that policy. This is
seen by the expressions Of nearly every
prelate of that faith, from Archbishop
Ireland who came out in advocacy Of the
retention of the Philippines almost as
soon as the report first came of the de-
feat of the Spaniards in Manila Bay, to
the latest minister Of that Church who
has spoken on that subject. The other
churches also favor this course.
1t is easy to explain why the clergy of
churches in general take the side
Of the administration on the expan-
sion question. One OF the articles OF the
peace treaty provided that "the inhabit-
ants of the territories over which Spain
cedes her sovereignty shall be secnre in
free exercise of their religion" ." The
Catholic Church will have the same con.
sideration in the Philippines and the rest
of the islands which we have obtained
from Spain as it had when the territory
was in the control Of that power. All
religions will be on the same footing.
The support which that church receives
from the Spanish government will be dis
continued, but, on the other hand, the
restrictions and distractions by which it
and all other denominations were hamp-
cred will be removed. There will be no
discrimination for or against any form of
faith in the islands. The Church will be
as free in Luzon as it is in New York or
Missouri. The favor which the infu
ential prelates Of the Catholic church are
showing for the American policy is likely
to have a good effect in the islands, In
the case of Archbishop Chapelle this in
fuencc will be direct and immediate, tor
he promises, just as soon as he reaches
Manila, to use all the authority he has
over the clergy and laity of his Church
in the islands to bring about an early
recognition Of American sovcreignty.-St,
Louis Globe Democrat

manuscript weighing ten ounces
would cost twenty cents to mail from
New York to Jersey City.
Queen bees, socks and other un-
mentionable things can be sent through
the mails cheaper than authors manu-
scripts.
Cultures of all the virulent bacteria
if properly sealed can go through the
mails for one cent an ounce; but the
evidence of an authors culture, sealed
or unsealed, has to pay two cents an
ounce.
For the benefit of unholy dwellers in
Sarawak, Pondoland, Chandernagore
and host of other remote places, ten
ounces of manuscript tsermon-without
regard to inherent weight-may be
sent from hence thither for five cents.
But the same sermon if intended
for perusal in the lower or lowest por-
ton of New York City-say Wall
Street, so us to be extreme-would
cost twenty cents to mail.
The absurdity of the present postal
rates on manuscripts is apparent when
we recall that publisher can return
manuscripts to the author, if accom-
panied by "proof," at printed matter
rates. The author, however, in send
ing in the manuscript originally has to
pay letter rates. What mystic in
fiuence attaches to the ''proof," so that
publisher should have the advantage
of an author?

Accident Near Gardeau.

Last Friday evening as Messrs. G. W.
Vert and John c. T. Libby Of st. Louis,
Mo, were coming from Gardeau, in the
darkness they were precipitated down an
embankment, the wagon wrecked, the
team injured and Mr.. Vert was quite
seriously injured, the bone Of the leg be-
ing fractured. Help was summoned, the
horses sorted out Of the wreck and after
some delay and much contriving they
were able to proceed and reached here
late in the night much the worse for the
accident. We believe the point at which
the accident occurred is in Potter county,
and it is said that there is no protection
along that portion of the highway. The
gentlemen above mentioned are employ
ees of western stove company and are
in this section offering the wares for sale,
with headquarters at the Horton House.
A rumor is prevalent here that counsel
has been engaged and that a suit for
damages will be begun against the county
in which the accident occurred. At this
writing Mr.. Vert is about on crutches
and it will be some time before he is able
to resume work.-Port Allcgany Re

No polygamist has ever represented

cedent of that kind? Mr.. Roberts is a
man of culture, and an orator of no
mean ability, but culture and oratory
can never take the place Of patriotism.

break the laws imposed by the Federal
