Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1899-09-25

Senator Edmunds used to call the
dwelling In which Mrs. Grant now
lives his ''little cottage" Well, it is
house lacking in pretense but it Is
not small. About fifty feet in breadth
IT reaches well back on the lot, and
rises three stories to a roof that slopes
toward the front. 1t is modern house,
having its central doorway on the
the ground floor instead of by the once
favored high StoOp. The lower windows
are barred against intrusion by stout
iron guards of ornamental pattern. The
material is brick, with stone trim
mings; there is no excess of decorative
features, and the windows, excepting
those in the corner tower at the west
side, are large but not too numerous
The outer sliding doors of glass open
upon vestibule, and inner doors ad-
init to the wide hall lined with oak.
Just In the rear of the library Is a
commodious and cheerful apartment,
finished In polished wood of light col
or, which is used as the breakfast
room. The two windows give to the
north and overlook good neghbor-
hood, and the cheerful interior is made
attractive by wide fireplace in which
blazing fire often contributes a home
like coziness to the room. The rooms
at the left and back are put to various
domestic uses

BOGUS ASSESSMENTS.

The September return of the voters
of Philadelphia has been completed by
the machine assessors. and shows that
the bogus and rotten assessment is still
being kept at high water mark. This
indicates that the old game of voting
the names of dead men, of dogs, poll
parrots and monkeys is again to be re-
sorted to this fall by the gangs of
trained home and imported repeaters
from Washington, Baltimore, Whining
ton and Chester. A boy not of age re-
Gently admitted before a magistrate he

will swear in their votes. On the basis
of one voter to every five inhabitants
this return gives Philadelphia an indi-
Gated population of one and a half
millions, which is preposterous There
are $4,000 names on the voting lists

counts for the fact that Philadelphia
is the only great city in the United
States that is Overwhelmingly Repub-

Many of the eastern papers declare
that the recent slump in the selling
price of trust stocks on the New York
market was the result of President Nc
Kinley's recommendation hat anti
trust laws should be made that would
reach every form of combination iniu-
rious to business. and the decision by
the supreme court hostile to pooled cor
p%orations. The decision of the supreme
court as to one style of combination
shows thai when congress passes a law
to fit the newer methods of trusts, the
court will be apt to sustain such enact
ment, for the principle is established
that the general interests of trade and
the public should be protected from
piratical combinations by individuals
and companies to prevent and restrict
the natural laws of trade and the right
of everybody to engage in business and
buy where he pleases.

StrOnu Committees,

The senate Republican committeeman
on the Philippines are able men, and
will work out problems submitted to
them for government of islands in an
able n Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts Is as strong an expansionist as
his colleague Is an anti-eXpansionist,
and is younger, and more in touch with
the spirit of the age. With him are
those sturdy workers, Hale of Maine,
Allison of Iowa, Proctor of Vermont
and Davis of Minnesota. who represent
the various sections of the country from
which they We're sent, and Mcbride of
Oregon for the Pacific coast. The junior
Republican member. Beveridge Of In
diana, has more personal knowledge of
the Philippine islands and the people
there, than any other senator, because
the young mar had the energy to go to
the new possessions of this country and
investigate after the war commenced.
And he had the good sense when he re-
turned not to air his views.
Fol CUBA were selected such eXpe-
rienced men as Senator Platt of Con-
necticut, a wise and conservative legis-
lator; Davis Of Minnesota, Cullom of
Illinois, Spooner of Wisconsin, McMil-
Ian Of Michigan and Chandler of New
Hampshire. All are conservative men
of poise and good Judgment.
For Porto Rico Senator Foraker, who
a an enthusiast in favor of driving
Spain from the West Indies, heads the
committee. With him are associated
Senators Fairbanks of Indiana, Nelson
Of Minnesota, Depew of New York, Per-
kins of California, McComas of Mary
land and Gallinger of New Hampshire,
On each committee are able lawyers,
capable of devising systems under
which local governments may operate
satisfactorily.

Carter HarrisOn's Record,

Carter Harrison, who aspires to the
governorship of Illinois as a stepping
stone to the presidency, has certainly
made himself strong with the Chicago
element that believes public office is a
private snap. He has turned the city
over to an assortment of his followers,
who have worked the municipality for
all that it is worth, and now it is bank
rupt and run as a wide open city by the
criminal element, which stands in with
the henchmen Of the ambitious mayor.
At the eleventh hour the mayor has
called upon the public officials to effect
some sort of reform in the management
Of public affairs, so that he may have {
cleaner house when his claims for the
gubernatorial office are finally submit
ted to the people. Mayor Harrison has
permitted the city business and treas
ury to be as badly managed as did Gov
ernor Altgeld the affairs of the state,
and therefore can be counted upon to
make as good a governor as did Altgeld.

organizations which a few months ago
were being incorporated IN New Jersey,
by far the larger portion were merely
stock-sellinS schemes to dispose of
property upon which the promoters had
bonds. Most of them have cut no ice in
the wo"'E of production and legitimate
trade, and were not expected to, except
by the victims who bought stock. These
schemes We're on a par with those of
fake mining companies hal sell stock
in properties they may own or merely
have a chance to buy if enough stock
can be sold at fictitious prices to pay for
the mines or prospects, and still leave
the majority of the stock in the hands
Of the promoters. The latter figure on
being ahead of the game, even If the
mines never produce.

A ThankleSS Child,

Editor Hitchcock, the Democratic as
pirant who was not appointed senator
| from Nebraska, has published a card
thanking his friends for support and
saying he deeply feels the sting of in
| gratitude. The Populist governor ap-
pointed ex-senator Allen, Populist, but
| did not do this until he received a tele-
gram from Colonel Bryan requesting
him 10 do so. 1t will be remembered
that Editor Hitchcock gave Colonel
Bryan a place as sub-editor of the
World-Herald in order that the politi-
clan might keep his stock at par in Ne
braska. In fact, for years the paper has
seemed to have no other object in life
than the election of Colonel Bryan to
office. 1t has helped maintain fusion, by
which the Populists secured the senator
once, the governor several times, and
! the Democracy but little as a reward. In
the last election the retired senator Sc
cured a %judgeship, and the Omaha edit
or expected to have a clear field for the
appointment as senator for the interim
ulflll TIE ltletllllS u the lbS lSldlulG, lG-
lying upon the Endorsement Of his old
associate. But Colonel Bryan evidently
considered that the support of the Pop
ulists could be better held by him next
year in Nebraska if he Endorsed Allen
instead of Hitchcock, and that the DEM
ocrats of the state would have to sup
port him anyway, so friendship and OBJ
legations We're thrown aside. Colonel
Bryan had a chance to send a Demo-
cratic senator to Washington, for Gov
ernor Poynter, who owed his election to
the presidential candidate and the eff
forts of the paper owned by Hitchcock,
virtually left the selection to Bryan.
But Democrats who are disposed to
blame him for not standing by one of
the faithful should remember that Bry-
an was on record other than asa Dem
ocrat not long ago, when he voted for
Weaver for president against the Dem
ocratic nominee, and has a fellow feel
ing for the Populist successors of the
Weaver hybrids.

Causes of"Tight Money" in Financial Centers.

The New York panic IN the stock
market is declared by financiers to be
largely due to the recent supreme court
decision in the Addyston trust case,
followed Immediately afterward by the
presidents message to congress urging
the necessary legislation to restrict
trusts. These properties have gone out
of fashion with investors and specu-
lators. But the main cause of tight
money is trade is active everywhere,
and prevents money from accommodating
in the metropolitan banks. The great
banks of Europe, those in London,
Paris and Berlin, are all protecting
their gold reserves by abnormally high
rates Of discount; indicating an unusual
strain. British reverses in the Trans
vaal, and the cutting off of that source
Of gold supply, have materially added
to the tension in London; and this
country is shipping gold to that point
instead of importing, as is usual at this
season. This exposure to a foreign de-
mand on the American gold supply
comes at a time when her own re-
sources are fully taxed. Activity in the
retail trades Is absorbing an enormous
amount Of currency. which, in spite Of
recent increase, Is insufficient for pres
emit requirements. Many Of the trusts
are also larger borrowers than was ex-
pected at their inception; both mercan-
tile and manufacturing interests re.
quire more accommodation than usual;
while funds sent out for crop purposes
are returning much more slowly than
usual. No undue expansion of credits
can be observed; and this great demand
for money is simply the result Of phe-
nomenal trade and industrial activity.
The New York banks are taking care
Of mercantile customers at the 6 per
cent rate, but spectators must pay
high for money, especially If industrial
stocks are offered as security.
England, instead Of getting gold from
South Africa, is now shipping gold to
that country to- maintain the armies.
The object of the Bank of England ad-
vancing its rate to 8 per cent, with the
possibility of 1t going still higher, Ia to
draw gold from other sections Of the

In the language of the street, the sem
ate did not do a thing to Senator Petit
grew when he introduced a resolution
calling upon the war department to
know whether Admiral Dewey recog-
nized the insurgent government, and
whether an insurgent vessel flying an
insurgent flag accompanied American
vessels upon an expedition. The object
of the resolution was to stir up q muss
and try to show that the Filipinos were
entitled to recognition. The senate did
not wish to hear from the South Dakota
oddity, and by a vote of AZ to 20 laid the
resolution on the table, and but for sen
atorial courtesy might have thrust him
under. That was an early and fair test
as to whether that body wished to hear
anything about the pesky pest of the
Philippines.

\ The rival cities which have long
laughed at Philadelphia as a slow town

moment st. Louis evened up several old
scores with Chicago by voting for the
eastern city, which stood ready to fur
nish a suitable hall, foot all the bills of
the convention to the amount of 100000

she would keep her word. The lively

the country has ever with it, since their

THE CUBAN MALCONTENTS.

The massing of Cuban negroes
against the United States and violent
language on their part will tend to fos-
ter a sentiment in favor of annexation
Such an agitation will be taken as al
indication that the independent repub-
lie of Cuba, if inaugurated, is to be a
negro government, if there are blacks
enough to make it such. That PROPOSE
ton would be most distasteful to the
white Cubans and the Spaniards who

An independent Cuba would, under any
circumstances, bear a strong resem-
blance to Hayti, without putting it I'M

wages when profits are falling. But the
thing which employers sometimes fail

there is an increase in the profits. They
may not know the figures on the books,
