better or as goodwill the Filipinos, while
they are subject to a peculiar danger from
which the American assertion of the Mon
roe doctrine protects all the American
peoples. So rich prize as the Philippines
can never be allowed TO maintain re-
public. How easily the money and power
to reward service of a foreign nation could
incite adventurers to create a revolution
we know from our recent experience in
Samoa. 1t is not hard to imagine the
means by which government set up by
the agents of a foreign nation could be
persuaded TO confer protective power on
that nation. This would inevitably happen
if we should acknowledge Aguinaldo or
any government instituted by him or any
government that should not be subject TO
American supervision.
II would be folly to note all the Illogical
reasons of the inconstant Hoar, but there
is one that is common to all the enemies
of expansion-that American rule of the
remote islands would demoralize the
American people. We are not called upon
to try to understand why such an idea
should develop in the twisted minds of
minority speakers; but it is interesting to
observe that in the only case that is nearly
parallel there has been no such effect, as
there cannot be where the governing ma
ton is at all subject to public sentiment.
England has not suffered in any degree
as the ruler of inferior races. Being demo-
cratic to an extent that is exceeded only
in this country, if at all, she does not use
her colonies for the enrichment of favorite
sons, as Spain has done. There have been
fewer scandals in connection with her
colonial government than we have had in
relation to War Department administra-
ton in the var with Spain. The English
people would not tolerate the abuse of
authority in India or Egypt. Are we to
suppose the American people would sub
init to corruption on the part of officials
in the Philippines? They realize quite as
distinctly as Senator Hoar that it is our
duty TO establish stable government
there, and they are the last people in
the world TO allow anybody to interfere
with that duty.

ALLEGED BOGUS MONEY MEN.
Suspected Italians Taken From the
Steamship SPARTAN Prince.

New York. Feb. 2.-Francisco La Bar
abara, Cont Provedentra, Anzelmo Aber-
to and young man said to be Alberto
son-in-law, who arrived here from Genoa
on the steamship Spartan Prince today,
were arrested by secret service men, three
being arrested on the vessel at quarantine
and the fourth at the barge office.
Chief Secret Service Operative Hazen
received information some time ago that
a number OF Italian counterfeiters were
coming TO this city. The Spartan Prince,
the Milabar, the Kaiser Wilhelm III, and
the Lord Warwick were named as being
among the steamships upon which they
might take passage. Close watch for the
arrival of these vessels have been kept,
and today several secret service men went
down to quarantine on revenue cutter TO
meet the Spartan Prince. The detectives
had learned that all four alleged counter
feiters were on the ship.
They found all in the steerage except
Alberto's son-in-law. The latter they cap
tured in the barge office. The four prison
ers, together with their wives and chill
dren, and a quantity of baggage, were
taken to the Secret Service Bureau in the
postofice building, where they were care
fully hidden away and all information re-
garding them refused.
The four men were not arraigned before
a commissioner today, but probably will
be tomorrow. For several months large
quantities of counterfeit two and five
dollar bills have been in circulation The
secret service men captured number o.
Italians, who had sold the bills to others.
but could not find the makers or the place
of manufacture. Finally one of the men
arrested revealed the secret. The bills, he
said. were made in Italy. and 1t is stated
that facts confirming his story have been
ascertained. The four men arrested today
are believed to be members of the counter
feiting gang in Italy, and more are expect
ed to arrive on steamships due TO arrive
in few days.

The Popular Election of senator's

(Fr0m the Baltimore Sun)
The West Virginia House of Delegates yestcr-
day, by the overwhelming vote of 81 to !.
placed itself on record as favorins the election
of United States Senators by direct vote Of the
people. That there is growing sentiment in
favor OF choosing Senators 10y the people is shown
by the frequent action Of legislatures and large
political and business gatherings in its favor
This sentiment has doubtless been largely ac-
CELEBRATED by the election from borough States.

MAVERICK ATE ARSENIC.

Norfolk. Va. Feb. 2.-Great interest is
felt in Norfolk in the movement to en-
deavor to effect reopening of the May

vorable to the American woman can be

Trusts and Protection.
From the Toledo Ree.l


Take away from the trusts the protection OF
the Dingiey bill. give the people a purely rev.
enue tariff and no trust that is organized on
false lines can exist A trust that can pay
freight on its products and still undersell Eng
land and Germany in the markets ri the world
needs no tariff protection at home against the
competition of the products of the so-called
pauper labor OF Europe With a democratic
revenue tariff in operation American trust
can control the home market except by under
selling all competitors. And 4 Democratic rev
enue tariff will be all she protection the people
will want. for it will permit natural laws TO
govern the situation.

We are now satisfied that the objections
made by the whole army to Algerian
gamey meat were the result of disordered
livers, deprayed by too free use OF i'm
ported delicatessen. There seems to be
evidence that a considerable portion of the
timed beef complained of had been care
fully ripened for years in damp cellars in
Liverpool waterfront warehouses No
doubt it was kept there with a strict view
to the educated taste of American volun-
teers and regulars, who, in case of war,
would be only too delighted to vary the
monOtony of peace rations with something
properly improved by age. That the Liv-
erpool veteran meat, fed TO the troops, was
better because of its longevity, and the
limburger flavor in no other way to be
acquired, is shown by the fact that wine
which has lain in the London docks for
generation commands much higher prices in
the market than grape juice which has not
been so conserved. This would account
for the excellence of the toothsome de-
composition reimported for the benefit of
the army, and also for the excessive price
which the Government cheerfully paid for
it. We furnish this conclusive argument
TO the putrid beef contractors, free, gratis,
and for nothing

Senator Thomas c.. Platt's pure beer
bill has made its appearance at Albany,
and thereby hangs a tale, as they say in
the story books. The New York brewers
last fall opposed Colonel Roosevelt and
Senator Piatt's State ticket. They took an
active part in the compaign, and, in add
ton to making liberal contributions to the
Democratic campaign fund, they urged
their friends to vote against every candi
date on the Republican State ticket. The
morning after election Senator Plat was
quoted as SAYING: Il think that the peo-
pie of New York are entitled to pure beer.
1t may cost a trife more. but they must
have it. The health of the community
demands it." Mr. Platt's conversion TO
the pure beer idea was very sudden. but
it apears TO have been permanent, for the
time being AT least. Governor Roosevelt
made feeble protest against the proposed
measure on the ground that it was retala-
tory legislation; but he has apparently
yielded his convictions in this matter TO
the persuasive influence of Mr.. Plat aud
the Republican organization.
1t is said to be the intention of the Re
publican leaders TO introduce a bill in Con-
gress providing for some kind of a natioaal
inspection or supervision of the manufac-
ture of beer in the United States. The
brewers are to be made TO understand it
is said, that henceforth they must support
the Republican party If they wish to secure
all of the benefits of our free institutions.

PACIFIC THEOLOGICAL.
The Old Seminary to be Moved from
Oakland to Berkeley.


Oakland to Berkeley.
OAKLAND, April 25.-Oakland is to
lose the Pacific Theological Seminary
which for thirty years has been one
of the best known religious educa-
tional institutions on the coast. This
step was decided upon this evening at
one of the most representative Con-
gregational conferences ever held here.
There are many reasons given for
the change Of the location of the semi
nary, but one of the most pressing is
the question of finances. For some
time it has been acknowledged by the
trustees that the institution could be
conducted as effectively in a locality
where taxes are not so high and where
land is not so valuable. It was not
without many expressions of regret
that it was determined to move the
we'll known institution to Berkeley, for
j. has been one of the most active GEN.
tiers of education since Oakland first
began to grow. In 1869, when its pre-
sent site was a wilderness and land was
valued by the acre, the college was
founded Now it is located in the GEN.
ter of the most valuable residence dis
trict of the city, and land is quoted by
the foot
The board of trustees definitely de-
cided in favor Of the change at meet
ing held late this afternoon at the
seminary in this city, following the
thirtieth anniversary Of the seminary
which was observed today.
