SLAVERY AND PoLYGAMY RECOG-
NlZFD,

Referring to what he characterizes
az some adverse criticism" in the Uni
ted States upon the terms made with
the polygamous and slaveholding Sultan
of Sulu, DR.. Jacob Gould Schurman,
President of Cornell University, and
therefore leading educator, thus re-
fers to the bargain made between the
administration and the Sultan:
Slavery is recognized institution in
the Sulus. If we attempted to take ii
away there is no telling what might hap
vantage. So long as peace is maintained
We will be wise to let well enough alone.
We cannot afford to interfere with their
religion and their ancient practices so long
as they do not conflict with American
authority and government in the islands.
The ancient practices" to which DR..
Schurman refers are slavery and polyg-
amy. and these twin relics have been
recognized on the islands, ruled by the
Sultan. by the administration, by yir-
tie OF the bargain concluded with this
South Sea potentate. Not only this,
i@it the Sultan is to be paid $3.50 per
:aenJk W this government to aid in
keeping his harem in running order,
and various small fry appendages are to

A Cabinet officer, reputed to speak
for the President, says regarding the
monster petition for mediation in South
Africa, addressed to the Chief Executive
CT a liberty-loying nation:-
.'First-TlR United States having been
the recipient Of moral support from Eng
land during the war with Spain Will DO
no aing distasteful TO England.
,Second-W nile the sympathies Of the
President are to a certain extent with the
Beers, yet their love for England is
stronger and outweighs their frlendliness

might enable some foreign power to take
a hand in the Philippine war.
.Fourth-f a request be made by the
Beers it will go unheeded for the reasons
stated above.
To be sure this is only secondhand,
but it probably represents, in sub
stance at least, the Presidential views.
The plain English of it is, that as we
not only had England's moral support
in the war with Spain, but still have it
in our war with the originally friendly
Filipinos, therefore England must have
our friendly sympathy in her evident
determination to crush the Beers and

half bad, for the Filipino leader is a
statesman and soldier, and believes
in human liberty, in common with dem
ocratic principles the world over De-
mocracy stands for liberty and the

has come to mean Imperialism, slav-

with subsidy to the man who has the

Hanna proceeds with brutal frankness
in wringing tribute from the office-holders
There is no attempt at evasion or con-
cealment. Neither are victims of his
stand-and-deliver assessment selected from
Ohio, the State which, he claims, is in
jeopardy. All federal placemen, high and
low, drawers of little as well as big salar-
les, have been notified that they must
produce percentage of their stipends
for the purpose of saving the State of Nc
Kinley and his manager from being car
ried by the Democrats next month, re-
suit which would imperil the success of
our noble executives efforts to secure a
second term.
To deprive the blackmailed office-holders
of all possible chance of refuge behind the
civil service law, Hanna has had sent to
each printed explanation that the prohi-
bition against paying funds for election
purposes into the hands of any federal
official has been lodged by intrusting the
collection of them to Notwithstanding pa
triots. There is encouragement for the
Democrats, however, in the corrupt prac-
tees which reveal the trepidation of the
Republican boss.

the committee would agree upon a COM
prehensive scheme of currency and
bank reform that would command the
support of the majority of each house
of congress. A very moderate scheme
has been agreed upon by the commit
teemen, however, and is generally
looked upon as a step in the right di-
rection. 1t proposes to adopt definitely
the gold standard, making all obliga-
tions ofsthe country payable in gold on
demand, to reissue greenbacks only in
exchange for gold, to permit banks to
issue notes up to the par value of their
bonds, and permit the establishment of
banks of $4,000 capital in small towns.
1t is not improbable even moderate
measure proposed by the committee
will fail.
