difference In this respect between the
policy OF the Imperialists and that OF
the Democrats is that the Democratic
policy is to extend American trade and
American markets without violating
the Constitution or our time honored
American policies and principles and
without crushing the American tax
payer-which chiefly is American labor
beneath the weight of a vast imper-
ial military burden.
1t need hardly be asked which policy
the sane American, North or South,
merchant, producer or laborer, pre-
fers. And we believe there will be no
hesitancy upon the part of the Ameri-
can voter in deciding the question
when the issue IS clearly defined and
freed from demagogy and partisan
Misrepresentation.

pines and YVES instructed first to pro-
coed to Paris, present his commission
to Agoncillo, the head of the Filipino
junta and ask for passport for use
in the Philippines.
Thus" adds the correspondent of
this Chicago imperial organ sneeringly,
Spain recognizes for the first time the
Filipino government, and thus it has
added another plume to the Filipino
representative in Paris, who draws his
pay, reclines in an easy chair, enjoys
the privileges of polite society and the
pleasures of the French capital, while
his countrymen are fighting against
the greatest country on earth
Passing over this silly slur at Agon-
clio, whose labors seem to be salts
factory to his countrymen, it is worthy
of remark that if Spain has taken this
action it is a decidedly interesting and
instructive commentary on the state
ments of Otis and the contention of the
Imperialists in the United States that
there is no Filipino government and
never has been any. 1t is not at all
impossible that Spain has taken the ac-
ton mentioned. Hitherto she has
patiently waited for the liberation of
Spanish prisoners held by the FilipinOs
through the agency of our military
authorities. Patience ceasing to be a
virtue, however, it may be that Spain
now seeks to deal directly with the
Filipinos. All of which would imply
that the Filipinos are not crushed"
by large majority, and this is further
evidenced by the fact that we have
lately been engaged in doubling the
strength of our army there.
1t may be also that Spain has gone
off at half-cock in this matter. There
are indications that the administration
proposes to do a little more hustling in
the matter of the Spanish prisoners.
At any rate, at Tuesdays cabinet meet
ing it was decided to construe literally
the treaty with Spain regarding the re-
turn of Spanish soldiers and prisoners
OF war in the Philippines. All Spanish
civilian officials and their families as
well win be returned at the expense of
the United States.
The next job is to get the prisoners
from the clutches of the Filipinos
Maybe Spain can accomplish this
more easily automatically than Otis
can by force.

A TOUGH SITUATION.
A PHILADELPHIA BROKERAGE
FIRM Is EOPELESSLY BANh-
RUPT
Owing Million and Quarter,
There is Not a Dollar for Credi-
tors Outside of the Banks.

PHILADELPHIA, December 2S.T-
The committee appointed by creditors
to investigate the accounts of Stahl &
Straub. brokers, who failed November
80, report that not a dollars worth OF
available resources were found. The
total liabilities amount to $1,221, 1903
and the total assets $927,47S. leaving a
deficiency of 1898, 1929.
These figures mean that creditors,
the banks only excepted, can never
hope to realize a dollar on the amounts
due them from the firm. The state
ment shows that there is 1888, 944 due
to banks and that the amount is Sc
cured to the loaners by stocks and
bonds estimated at the value of $685.
457 The result will be that every dol
lar of these securities though there is
a surplus of $27 ,513 will be wiped out
in settling the accounts due to banks
There is 1887 1854 due depositors and
customers. There is $66,021 left to pay
this amount, which makes the losses to
be sustained by individual customers
and depositors with the firm of Stahl &
Straub amount to 1921, 343 according
to the firms own books.
John H. Straub, the junior member
of the firm is under bail on the charge
of 'embezzlement His partner, Mr.
Stahl, is missing, and warrant has
been issued for his arrest. In an inter
view Mr.. Straub said:
"One month ago l believed myself a
wealthy man. l thought that / was one
of the partners in a remarkably sue
cessful and highly respected firm.
To-day l am worse than a pauper. In
stead of owning a fortune l am involv-
ed in debt beyond any apparent posi-
bility of ever getting out My firm
is worse than bankrupt and my partner
has fed. The curses of scores of peo-
pie are being heaped upon my head"
Judge Mcpherson, in the United
States District Court, to-day appointed
Frank NJ Crawford receiver for Stahl
& Straub, fixing security at $4,000
Counsel for the creditors asked for re-
straining order to prevent the further
transfer of securities and to have the
firm adiuGicated involuntary bank
rupts.
Charles H Vollum, the expert ac-
countant in charge OF the brokers'
books, said at a meeting of the credi-
tors to-day:
This is the cleanest case of looting
have met with in thirty years.
An official at the banking rooms
said to-day in referring to Stahl's
methods:
He ran three separate accounts on
securities in the care of the firm, pay
ing interests on stocks, dividends on
the same stocks and further interest
from the firm, and this was apparently

The leading Republican organs in this
State are bitterly opposing the project
of the State Bar Association for nom
partisan or bipartisan Supreme Court,
and to this end are doing their best to
stir UP partisan hatred and draw party
lines on the question. 1t is as the Reg
lister some time ago predicted. The
State Bar Association need never hope
to carry through its worthy project to
eliminate partisan politics from the
Judiciary while the present unscrupu-
lous partisan ring is the dominant
rower in West Virginia. Nothing nom
partisan need ever be hoped for from
that source. The ring want it all and
VIII have it all if by hook or crook they
can get it.

Regarding the Cuban Customs

War Department sticks to It's Position
Regarding the Cuban Customs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The objection
of the citizens of Santiago TO the execu-
tion Of the war departments programme
requiring the customs collections at that
port and at all other Cuban ports to be
sent TO Havana has brought the war de-
partment face to face with another of
the many problems connected with the
administration of affairs in Cuba that
require speedy settlement. The order is
felt To be absolutely necessary, the in
terests Of good government requiring
that there should be but one responsible
head to the customs service in Cuba. Ii
was pointed out at the war department
that if Santiago. ut one end of the isl
and. and Havana. near the other, were
allowed to
Keep Their CustOms Receipts
such provinces as Puerto Principe and
Pinar del Rio would be without funds
to make any public Improvements. The
officials are disposed to allow each of the
military commanders of the seven de-
partments into which Cuba is now di.
vided to submit requisitions based upon
estimates Of cost of such public works,
as sanitation. harbor improvements and
road and bridge buildingas it is deemed
advisable to undertake. The cabinet
which General Brooke is about to call
to his assistance in the administration OF
the island. probably will examine into
these necessities and propose an allot
ment of the total customs collected and
internal revenue taxation in proportion
| to the needs of the communities and il
accordance with the principles of jus
| tice and good government.

here. in the course of which he is
quoted as saying:

conraged the rebellion and now they
