OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBOR.

We noted a few days ago the remark
of the premier of Canada that that coun-
try would live and prosper If it should
not have closer trade relations with the
United States. Canada is making pro-
gress industrlally and commercially.
Senator Vest Of Missouri, who has just
returned from a protracted s~ojourn in
the Dominion, states that he was much
impressed with its industrial develop
ment. He found that Canadian man.
ufactures have been much stimulated
during the last few years, particularly
in the manufacture of cotton goods, and
the senator thinks that In the not far
future the Canadians will be indie
pendent of this country so far as cotton
goods are concerned.
1t is perhaps needless to say that Mr..
Vest attributes this to the American
tariff, which he thinks should be mod
flied in the interest Of the American
producers. Referring to the large trade
of Canada with the United States, the
senator said that millions more would
come from that country into this II a
more friendly feeling were created by
an equitable tariff.
The trouble is, however, that Canada
wants an arrangement largely one-sided.
This is shown in all the proposals that
have come from that country since the
abrogation of the reciprocity treaty of
1854. The failure of the several efforts
that have been made in the last thirty
years to negotiate another reciprocity
| agreement was due to the fact that Can
ada wants reciprocity in natural pro-
ducts. because we have vast and profit
| able markets for them, while she has no
markets for ours. The Canadians ask
that we give their natural products a
free market here, but they offer no con-
| eessions to our manufactures, or at any

atlous were deliberately made by him TO
deceive the ignorant and to turn a great
state paper, with an ending full OF hope
and cheer for the American people, into
meaningless platitudes and an argument
about nothing.
1t will be noticed that the Bryan World
Head ARTICLE" begins with the last sen
tence Of the opening paragraph, which makes
It utterly meaningless. Then 1t omits the
first sentence OF the next paragraph, so as
to make the rest OF 1t apropos of nothing,
considering the time and place Of Its utter
ance.
The third mutilation pursues the same at
tempt to deceive by emitting the first propo-
sition OF another phase OF the argument,
which is the key of the same, and the words,
''our section" are boldly substituted by
these forgers for Lincoln's words, the
northern Then in the midst OF the next
paragraph the word free" is stricken out,
because 1t gives a hint of what the president
Is discussing-the difference between free
and slave labor. And then it closes with the
omission of the eloquent words with which
the great Lincoln endeavored TO reassure his
people and to promise them, under Provi-
dence, a future greatness Of which the past
was only a faint promise.
A paragraph concerning trust conditions
has been boldly added to Lncoln's message,
Notwithstanding trusts were unknown when
his state paper was penned. 1t is cunningly
inserted without complete quotation marks,
but the intent TO deceive is as plainly marked
in this fraudulent addition as in the fraudu-
lent mutilations already pointed out.

AN LnnnE-

In 1903 Silas A. Holcomb was a can
dldate for the position of judge of the
supreme court of Nebraska. In 1893
Silas a. Holcomb's candidacy was OPP
posed by the Omaha World-Herald and
he was denounced as lacking all the ele-
ments necessary to make him an Inn
partial judge. The reasons why the
World-H Herald refused TO support Judge
Holcomb were set forth in the following
article, headed "An Impartial judge"
taken from its editorial page of October
4, 1893:
Judge Harrison was nominated by the rail-
roads and corporations. All business in
terests are asked to support him for that
reason. On the other hand, Judge Holcomb
is pretended to be a representative of the
anti-monopolists and debtors, and 1t is as
sumed both by his friends and enemies that
IL elected he will be a champion of that in
terest.
This is a vicious issue to be permitted to
creep into the selection OF our judiciary.
Do the people Of this state want a champion
of any special interests elected? Do they
not need rather an impartial Judge, repre-
senting neither the corporations or their
enemies, standing neither for the debtors or
creditors, but one who will balance the
scales Of Justice impartially as between all
classes?
We have had enough Of special advocates
upon the supreme bench.
The false issue injected into this cam
paign should be rejected by all good citizens
by the election of Frank Irvine.
The pertinent question presents itself,
If Judge Holcomb would not make an
impartial judge in 1893, how can he be
expected to make an impartial judge In
1900? If anything, Judge Holcomb six
years ago promised better for the bench
than Ex-Governor Holcomb today. Six
years ago he. was serving as a district
judge and had not yet made his damag-
ing record of rank partisanship, fragrant
favoritism and gross neglect of duty in
the executive Office. His career as gov
ernor instead Of commencing him as
qualified to act the impartial judge af-
fords proof positive that on the bench
as in the executive chair, he would be
the plant tool of the INSCRIPTIONS pop
ocratic machine upon which the cor
porations have constantly pulled the
strings.
Yet the World-H Herald, after refusing
six years ago to support Judge Holcomb
on the ground that it wanted an impair
tial judge, now asks the people of Me-
braska to vote for him as against the
republican candidate, NJ. B. Reese, who
by his acts during one terms service on
that bench showed himself the fairest
and most impartial judge who ever sat
there, standing up for all the people as
against any special interest and at all
times deciding every case solely ac-
cording to the law and the evidence.
We do not believe voters who want an
impartial judge will cast their ballots
in November for the man denounced as
unworthy their support just because the
World-H Herald has changed it's tune in
a desperate effort to hold the state in
line for Bryan's aspirations.

DEWEY ON PHILIPPINE SITUATION.


The reported interview with Admiral
Dewey, which has the responsible au-
thority of the New York Evening Post
and which contains nothing that he
might not say with perfect propriety, Is
in oil respect reassuring. Dewey
thinks that the, insurrection in Luzon
cannot be protracted much longer. He
expressed surprise that the insurgents
have held out until now, but he supplied
an explanation of this in the statement
that General Otis "has tried to do too
much" This has been pointed out by
others. Otis has been required to per-
form both military and civic duties and
while undoubtedly he has been willing
to have the task imposed on him, it is
very evident that it has been too great
for him and it remains to be seen
whether the Washington authorities
will continue it. There has been talk
of relieving Otis, when active campaign
ing shall be renewed, to the extent of
giving commanders in the field greater
discretion in carrying IN operations than
they have hitherto exercised, but it may
be doubted whether this would work
much improvement, with Otis in
supreme command and directing mill
tary operations from Manila.
Dewey has confidence that the Fill
pinos will in time accept American rule
and become friendly to this country.

them that the United States intends to
| treat them well. They are as yet dis
trustful, as is most natural with a peo-
| pie who have suffered for generations
from Spanish oppression. How long 1t
will take to overcome this distrust it Is
impossible to say and it is of course a
question whether the right course to
bring about this result is being pursued.
In regard to the fitness Of the Filipinos
for self-government, Dewey adheres to
| the opinion that they are better qualified
than the Cubans, but are not now quite
fitted to govern themselves. They have
many educated and able men, but the
masses are ignorant. What he said Of
| ttSulnuluO Wlll LOI NC hSaoih w ASeS
who compare the insurgent leader with
Washington and Lincoln, and Dewey
knows Aguinaldo thoroughly.
The wish expressed by the admiral
that "the whole business was settled"
| will have the hearty concurrence of the
American people and it is apparent that
he thinks it should have been settled.
There is not in the interview, however,
the least intimation as to what Dewey
thinks Of our military policy in Luzon.
Perhaps he will later conclude to take
the country into his confidence in re-
gard to this and certainly all the people
would be glad to have his opinion. 1t
is safe to assume, however, that while
Admiral Dewey may feel that Ameri-
can authority might have been estab-
lished in the Philippines without fight
ing, he is not in favor of the proposal
that we withdraw u soldiers from the
archipelago and leave 1t to the danger
Of bloody tribal conflicts and anarchy,
perhaps to become the prey Of European
and Asiatic nations.

rate hone that would make the arrange
ment fair and equitable. Under the
Canadian plan of reciprocity American
farmers along our entire northern
boundary would be injured and there
would be no advantage to our manufac-
turers.
1t is certainly desirable that there
should be closer trade relations between
the two countries. Both would be ben
Gifted and friendship would be fostered.
But any arrangement looking to this
must be fair and not of the j%ug-handle
character of the old treaty. AS yet there
is no indication that Canada wants an
equitable arrangement.

Lincoln journal, sept. Es
In It's yesterdays edition the Omaha
World Herald says that q correspondent has
sent it an article relating to capital and
labor that shows unusual thought and is
worthy OF more than ordinary attention. II
says that 1t prints 1t for the purpose OF In
viting discussion. Brief criticisms by men
OF all parties are asked for And then the
Herald says, Here 1t is"
But It isn't all there" The Herald be-
headed the article in the first place and
then struck out most of the vital organs and
cut off the peroration so that 1t is in a very
mutilated condition. The Journal therefore
ropublishes the ARTICLE" as 1t came from
the distinguished author, who has a sufficient
title TO the respect OF Americans to have his
ARTICLES printed without mutilation.
And Here 1t is ungarbled. The portions
in brackets are what the World Herald and
MIR. Bryan have been trying to suppress fol

the beginning of the civil war.

Admiral Dewey, in an interview with
a New York paper, stated two truths in

sailor and content to remain one. The
effort to drag him into politics to pull
