COURT EXPENSES.
Judges of Police Court Submit Their
Estimates.

Judges I. G. Kimball and Charles F.
Scott of the Police Court today submitted
to the District Commissioners their esti-
rates of the expenses of the court during
the fiscal year ending June so, 1901. The
current District appropriation act provides
the sum Of So, 1886 for such expenses, and
the total amount asked for by the judges
today is so, 740 an increase Of $3.50.
An increase in the salaries Of the mem
bers of the court from 5000 to 5000 per
annum is asked, and in support thereof a
tabulated statement Of the salaries paid po-
lice court judges in other large cities is
given. showing that the salaries run from
81, 600, paid to some in Boston, to $9,0O0
paid in New York. Instead OF one deputy
clerk at $3.50, the judges ask for two at
that salary and two at 81 200 each, instead
of three at $1,000 each. An assistant jani-
tor at $3.50 is asked for, and the judges rec
omrnend that the baiiiffs be given an an
nual salary instead of per diem pay.
The other items in the estimates are prac-
tically similar to those in the current ap-
preparation bill.

ALONG CIVIL SERVICE LINES.
Promotions in Police Department Or
dered by Maj. Sylvester.

dered by Maj. Sylvester.
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendations of Major Sylvester made
Yesterday afternoon, concerning numter
of changes in the department. AS stated in
Yesterdays Star, Stationkeeper w. A.
Shepherd of the eighth precinct was trans
ferred to the rolls of the force, and Deputy
Game Warden George Morgan succeeds him
as stationkeeper. Policeman w. G. Sweet
was promoted to class =, vice L. M Sulil-
van, who Is to be retired.
The other changes include the promotion
Of Stationkeeper Albert r. Lamb of the
first precinct to the ranks, to take the
place made vacant by the death of S. E.
Herndon. Telephone Operator Charles A.
Evans of the central bureau Is promoted TO
the place vacated by Lamb, and Patrol
Driver William j. Wagner Is made ope: "a
tor. James Martin succeeds Wagner IN
charge Of the fifth precinct patrol wagon.
These promotions were made by Major
Sylvester in pursuance of the civil service
plan adopted by him, and in each case the
promotion is made because of the good
work done by the individual. 5 ationkeep-
ers Lamb and Shepherd have been connect
ed with the department for a number of
years and are fully acquainted with every
branch of the service 1t is likely that they
will be given opportunity to become
familiar with the routine at headquarters
before they go to precincts for active duty.
One of them, it is probable, will succeed
Sergt. Harry Gessford, who will be given a
more important detail. Operator Evans,
who is also promoted. has been connected
with the force in various capacities for sew
eral years and is regarded by Major Syl-
vester and other officials as one of the best
men in his line of business.
Policeman Sullivan, who Is retired. will
receive $50 month For a number of
years he was a mounted officer connected
with the first precinct. A few years ago

Two Additional Citizens Sent to Will

Two more citizens were today sent to the
Junior Republic, located on the Willie New
bold farm, near Annapolis Junction, Md,
making three who have thus far been sent
to the republic from the District. The
boys sent today were Frank Walsh, fif-
teen years of age, and George A. Schaffer,
two years younger. Two boys have been
sent to the republic from Baltimore. and as
there are two there from the George Junior
Republic, the latter being sent out to assist
in breaking in the new boys, there are now
seven at the farm. 1t is the policy of the
managers of the republic to go slowly In
sending boys there, in order that all may
have ample time to become accustomed to
the new conditions and learn to avail them
selves of them before new and untried boys
are added. The plans for new building.

have been prepared. and its construction
will soon be commenced.

AN UNHAPPY HOUR.

Senator Hoar has been quoted AMI
recognized as an anti-expansionist.
The copperheads, who delight to be
called anh-imperialists, have been
never so happy as when using the
name Of the Senator as a totem to con-
jure with. Yet at the reception of
Senator Hoar on his return from Eu-
rope, Governor Wolcott and Senator
Frye made speeches that must grind
the souls Of the ants. Both declared
in favor Of suppressing the insurrection
in the Philippines at once with vigor
and rigor. Governor Wolcott, while
declaring that ne could not think of
the nation holding a subject people by
control Of arms, said that it was equal
ly abhorrent to see the flag of the
United States where it legally belongs
attacked by armed forces. The nation
must first suppress the rebellion of the
Aguinaldoites, and then Congress and
the President can be trusted to ac-
cord every country under the flag the
fullest, freest government Of which
they show themselves capable And
this was said, be it remembered, at
the home welcoming of Senator Hoar.
But Senator Frye was equally disap-
pointing to the ants. From the same
platform he said, as to the Philippines,
that the rebellion must first be crushed
out The sooner the better for the
rebels and for the world Referring
to the recent manifesto of Aguinaldo,
in which he says that he will prolong
the contest until the elections in ex-
peetation of victory for the Democracy
in the United States, which will be to
him equivalent to a triumph of arms,
Senator Frye said he could not under
stand how any citizen in the face OF
such a declaration by the insurgent
| could vote the Democratic ticket
Clearly the antis did not have a happy
| hour at the Hoar reception

IMPUGNING MOTIVES.

The President was invited to go to
Chicago and preside at the laying Of the
corner stone of the new Federal build
ing He was likewise invited to go
West and be present at the welcoming
home of certain volunteer regiments,
and likewise to attend reunion of vet
eran soldiers Of the rebellion, of which
group he is one. The President ac-
cepted these invitations as was his
privilege, and as was most proper to
do, especially as they afforded him at
the same time few days outing and
rest from the routine duties of his Of
fee in Washington.
But because the President acted as he
did he is assailed from the opposition
quarters bitterly, and charged with at
tending these functions for campaign
purposes, to enable him to pose before
the people, to promote an ambition to
be renominated. We must conclude
that a great body Of the American peo-
pie after all is ungenerous. There are
too many Of us, far too many, ever
ready to suspect, to i'm mpsssEka otive. to
find in every act ulterior$ pose. to
look upon all public men as cheats, and
TO ascribe unworthy purposes TO sNa
simplest and most innocent acts sHs
officials and those intrusted with inn
portant concerns of State.
If there is any one trait in his char
acter more prominent than another, it
is modesty in William Mckinley. He
is the last man of all to pose, to make
sensational swings around the circle,
or to employ low means to attain am
bilious ends. He is human, and there
fore liable to err, but in the instances
cited he committed no error On the
contrary, he did precisely the right
thing, and would have been churlish,
cowardly or lacking in good taste had
he declined TO accept the invitations ex-
/ tended to him in the cases referred to.
They in no sense involved party issues,
did not emanate from political parti-
sans and had no party Significance

GENERAL FUNsToN's JUDGMENT

serving of the admiration that is his
among his fellow-citizens. General
Funston has just returned from the
Philippines, and puts another coal un-
der the blouses of the Administration
opponents, by saying that in his judg-
ment everything is being done that
duct of the campaign against Aguin-
aldo. He declares that those who un-
derstand the conditions in Luzon have
no caustic criticism to make. He says
duty has been performed by every man
charged with a trust; that no grave
errors have been committed, and that
the campaign has been conducted in
an able and conscientious manner. He
denies stoutly that he is an anti-ex-
pansionist. and says that the story cir
culated to that effect does him gross
injustice; is, in fact, ridiculous. We
believe that every one of the sensa-
tional and discouraging stories that are
told of the conduct Of the war in the
Philippines to the discredit of the army
and its chiefs, and which are cal
culated to dispirit the friends Of the
cause the army is battling for, will.
when pricked, collapse, just as have the
yarns to which General Funston gives
the lie so fatty and emphatically.

ALFALFA HAY WOOD, CURTIS & co.
BARLEY HAY III 10 III Street,
A Fight with a BIacksnake.

Henry Gedder, lad in the employ
of Henry s. Renninger, farmer llv-
ing in Chester County, several miles
south Of this borough, had a lively en-
counter with a five foot blacksnake to-
day.
A commotion among some briars
caused him to investigate, and he found
the snake helping itself to young black
birds in a nest. 1t was in the act OF
swallowing one when he came upon
the scene.
1t took the lad but an instant to seize
a fence rail and attack the reptile. He
managed TO pinion it to the ground by
clapping the end of his weapon down
on the reptiles tail; but then he was
In a predicament. The snake swung its
head around as far as it could to strike
him, and he feared to let go his pole.
for then the snake could reach him. Sc
he shouted for help and a neighboring
woman hurried down to see what was
the matter She was badly scared by
| the sight of the snake and wanted ia
flee, but Henry persuaded her to hold
the fence rail that pinioned the snake
while he grasped his hoe and proceed
ed to chop off the reptiles head
When the snake was held UP to get
an idea of its length garter snake
several feet long and several birds
dropped out of it.-Pottstown (Pa.) cor

THE WIDE-TIRE LAW.

The impression has gone abroad that
the wide-tire law, which goes into eff
feet on the first day of next January,
was materially modified and amended
by the late Legislature. That is a
mistake, and may lead to much trouble
and hardship. The law needed amend
ment, not in its vital parts, but in its
phraseology. to make the intention
clearer and less liable to misinterpre-
tation. But such amendments were
not effected, and the statute stands as
originally passed. It is a little am
biguous, but by reasonable and liberal
Interpretation Of its lines, the true in
tent OF the lawmakers is ascertainable
from its text. 1t is, therefore, wise to
make provision for its going into ef-
feet, If honestly enforced, and with
such discretion as to prevent unneces-
sary hardships, it will work great good

for California roads, and it is conceded
that they need it. AS TO increasing
the draught of the haul. the Missouri
University experiments have demon
strated that there is no real increase;
that in a given haul there is great net
gain in the accomplishment of the
team drawn vehicles with wide tires
as over those drawing like loads on the
same roads on narrow tires. Then,
there is the great gain, also, of road
making, for the broad tire makes and
the narrow tire unmakes the road. The
broad tire wagon is therefore tax
saver.

The subjects Of England are just now
reading a splendid lesson to American
copperheads. The British flag is as
saulted and is menaced by arms Of the
Beers. Instantly the political party In
England in opposition to the Govern
ment issues its manifesto. What is it.?
Antagonism to the Administration Of
affairs? Demand that the arms of
the country shall be sneaked out the
back door? Insistance that England IS
in the wrong and that the enemy should
be given what they ask? No; none of
these things. The great Liberal party,
leading the opposition parties, rise in
its might and says: Political issues
are hereby retired to the rear, and for
the time forgotten. The Government
arm shall be sustained. The flag shall
be upheld, and the authority Of the
nation shall be respected. To-day and
until the close of the threatened war
there shall be no political divisions in
England" That is the true spirit.
There is no copperheadism in the right.

THERE IS NO IMPERIALISM.

The Woodland Democrat takes
the Record Union" to task sharply
because this paper said that "Ad-
miral Dewey has spoken at last" and
that his words are incapable of misin-
terpretation. The Democrat" says:
: 1.-THE assumption is that Dewey is an
impe1ialist and believes in expansion
by conquest"
Nothing of the kind; it is impossible
for any fair mind to assume any
thing of the kind. A copperhead might
torture such meaning out of our. ex-
preston, but no loyal and fair mind
can. This journal is not in favor Of
imperialism. We know of no other
in the land that is. In fact there is
no such thing as imperialism in Amer
lea. 1t is a bogie man conjured up by
opponents of the arms of the republic
and used for demagogic purposes to
fright timid souls into the ranks Of the
opposition to the Administration.
Admiral Dewey is not an imperial
ist. Neither he nor this journal, nor
any other of which we have any
knowledge, is in favor Of expansion by
conquest. We have expanded. We
have taken the Philippines lawfully
and under warrant recognized by the
civilized Powers of the earth. Against
our lawful authority in the Philippines
an insurrectionary force is turned.
1t must be suppressed and the au-
thority of the flag maintained. After
that is DONE when armed re-
bellion is crushed out, the United
States will deal with the Filipinos just
ly and in the broad and tolerant spirit
of liberty, giving them such self rule
as they can administer and protecting
them in every liberty we ourselves
enjoy
The United States suppressed a re-
bellion in the sixties. Then, as now,
an opposition TO assertion of it's au-
thority arose. 1t was headed and
manned by disloyalists, otherwise cop
perheads. Their activity and erection
of obstacles constituted aid and COM
fort for the enemy. We are not sur
prised that the copperhead element
makes itself manifest in this rebellion,
1t will. however, accomplish now nc
more than it did in the early sixties
1t viii be ignored and defeated and
the memory Of it alone left to shame
the descendants of those who espoused
its miserable cause of disloyalty.
AS for the suggestion of the Wood
land Democrat" that Admiral Dewey
has not spoken as was reported by wire
in favor OF active measures for sup
preston of the Philippine Aguinaldo-
ties, it remains to be said that the
Democrat has no warrant whatever
for denying the authenticity Of the
news since the acts Of the Admira
have verified the same. He has ad-
yised that the naval arm in the Phil
ippines be strengthened and the re
bellion more speedily crushed by EN-
ploying more effectively the nava
force. That he has so advised he asks
shall be communicated TO Aguinaldo, K
disabuse that chieftain's mind Of the
lies and hopes with which it has beer
packed by the American copperheaC
press, and misguided opponents of the
Government.
