Washington. Feb. For two hours
or more the Senate to-day had the reso-
luton declaratory of a policy OF this
Government in the Philippines under
discussion. but no vote was reached
and the resolution wen; finally to the
calendar. In accordance with notice
given last evening Mr.. Tillman Demo
crat,. South Carolina) addressed the
Senate upon the resolution. making a
characteristic and picturesque argu-
ment
Mr. Lodge (Republicau. Mass) fol-
lowed with "a strong reply To Mr.. Till
man, in which he stated clearly and
directly the conditions as they con-
fronted the United states in the Phil
ippines.
MIR. TTLLMAN'S SPEECH.
Mr. Tiliman said. in opening, that he
had listened to the debate upon the
treaty with interest, but without tax
ing part in it. He had contented him
self with occasional little forays and
with INDUCING i'll Il little guerrilla war
fare.
The first thing that strikes me. :"
said he. lin the reading of this resolu-
ton, is its absolute uselessncss and its
cold boOded purpose-its simple de-
claration of purpose to buy and sell
those people of the Philippines for our
own interests and steadfastly to ignore
their interests. If mistagc not the
trend OF events. the ratification of the
treaty promises to bring disaster to the
party responsible for it,"
a FUNNY SITUATION.
IF it was right said he. in discuss
Ing the changes of votes on ratification
Ito defeat the treaty on Saturday, it
was right to defeat it yesterday" He
said that never in his legislative cx-
perience had he heard so many
speeches against proposition followed
by so many votes in favor of the propo-
stlon. To his mind it indicated that
certain Senators had yielded to pres
sure.
FRAGMENT OF THE CONSTITU-
TION.
Concerning the constitution. he de-
clsrcd that the only scientilla now left
of II was that which required that II
treaty could only be ratified by n two
thirds vote of the Senate. The ratifica-
ton of the treaty, he said. had deter
mined that fact that i'm law the Filipi-
nos were rebels against the United
States. If they fired on our flag they
would be regarded as rebels That was
the way the world saw il. However the
trouble in the Philippines might tcrmi-
nate the Filip!nos would be regarded
as patriots who We're lighting for their
liberty just as much as were the Amer
lean rcvolutionsts.
IF any resolution is passed here we
ought to pass one bringing peace TO
the Philippines. not disaster.

his way to join Felipe Agoncillo, in

Senior Luna refused to say anything
regarding the situation at Manila.
Later he said:
"Of course our position is Il delicate

turaliy causes some embarrassment. !

TAXATION OF CORPORATIONS.

Governor Roosevelt, of New York, in
his message to the Legislature, tells
that body that corporations which de-
rive their existence and rights from the
public should make return for the priv
ileges given in the shape of fair per-
centage of earnings, and in holding
these views he lays particular stress
upon gas, electric and street railway
companies. Proceeding, the Governor
says
eff demagogues or ignorant enthusiasts
who are misled by demagogue could sue
coed in destroying wealth, they would of
course simply work the ruin of the entire
community; and, first of all, Of the unfor-
Inmates for whom they profess to feel an
especial interest But the very existence
of unreasoning hostility to wealth should
make us, all the more careful in seeing
that wealth does nothing to justify such
hostility We are the true friends of the
men of means; we are the true friends
or the lawful corporate interests which
do good work for the community when
we insist that the man OF means and
the great corporations shall pay their
full share of taxes and bear their full
share of the public burdens If this is
done, then sooner or later viii follow pub
lie recognition of the facI that ii is done
dIic WlitH there IL no ltSIlliudt6 OASIS LOT
discomfort the American public is sure
sooner or later to cease to feel discon-
tent"
The message concludes with recon-
mendation that franchises be taxed as
realty.
There will be little dissent, in popu-
lar opinion, from these ideas of the
New York Governor. Many corpora
tons have long escaped their just pro-
portion of the public burdens, while
enjoying great and especial privileges.
1t looks as though New York was about
to set an example in this matter which
other States, sooner or later will fol-
low.

Another peculiar suit for damages
has been filed at Akron, o., by Adolph
Tellkamp, of Hamburg, Germany, who
alleges that the Akron Cereal Company
has damaged him in $4,000 because he
worked up a large business in Ger
many for the Company, but that when
his orders were filled the packages
were decorated with a picture of the
German Empress, said picture being
without a nose. AS a result, his GUS
toners would not take the goods, which
remained on his hands.

FOREIGN TRADE GROWTH.

discussing the remarkable growth of
our foreign trade in manufactures, the
Philadelphia Record remarks:
In nearly every branch Of manufact-
urlng industry production has outrun. the
capacity OF consumption in the home mar
ker Thls is the impelling force behind
the great combinations which are seek
ing 70 Go away with ruinouS competition
by Illegal restraint of trade. The true
solution for overproduction lies in the
cultivation of outside markets This the
wiser manufacturers are beginning to
see, and the principal of combination
can be most advantageously applied in
banding together for the capture of for
elgn trade. Our iron and steel are MAX
ing their way. Our cotton goods will not
be less successful when they shall have
adequate push behind them.
There might be another solution of
reproduction, if the freak and en-
tirely superfluous protective tariff was
eliminated from the situation. If that
were done it would be possible to buy
American made goods in this country
as cheaply as outside of it, and domes-
tic sales would increase corresponding

sive hum-bug

Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.
BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.

At Monday evenings session of the
city Finance Committee, in the course
of the discussion growing out of the
Committees generally dazed and ir-
resolute state of mind, the question OF
a coming bond issue, next year, came
up, and two or three Republican mem
bers took occasion to revive that old
and eminently silly fiction, that the
proposed bond issue of two years ago
was defeated by the holders of city
bonds, who desired to hold on to the
six per cent securities. This was
common charge, in the days of acute
Republican disappointment over the de-
feat, by the people, of that particular
loan ordinance, but it was generally
supposed we had heard the last of it.
The slap the majority of the voters
gave the City Hall crowd then, how
ever, appears to have left a singing
sensation, which endures to the present
day, hence the remarks of Monday eve
ming.
This charge against the "bondhold-
ers" is silly, from several points of
view, but particularly from the stand
point which caused two or three gem
tlemen present at the meeting, not Re-
publicans, to exchange winks, and to
smile quietly to themselves. The
"bondholders," as the Register has
often remarked had nothing whatever
to do with the defeat of the loan ordin-
ance of two years ago. They were not
even consulted, and rendered neither
advice, influence nor money The loan
ordinance was defeated because it de-
served to be, being "a costly fallacy, a
delusion and snare, and the methods
taken to bring about the desired result
were perfectly legitimate.
Whenever a Republican charges that
the "bondholders" defeated the old loan
ordinance, a good many people smile.
And when the average taxpayer re-
members that it was defeated he quiet
~ shakes hands with himself

That does not cover the ground.
Granting it is right to bestow finan-

does it follow that it is either proper
