a LOSS TO THE NaTIoN.

ID the death of Nelson Dingey not only Maine
but the whole country suffers a severe loss. He
of the statesmen we can i'll spare at
this juncture in affairs for he was an acknowl
edged master OF those economic problems which are
pressing for solution, and his wise counsel and
leadership would have materially aided Congress in
reaching right conclusions concerning them.
Mr.. Dingley's fame will be chiefly associated with
tariff measures, and particularly with the act which
now protects industries and regulates Our com
merce. 1t is not likely that any radical change will
be made in the act for many years to come. 1t is
about midway in the second year of its existence
and month after month"; despite the disturbance in
trade caused by the war, it has worked out com
plete vndication OF the financial skill and economic
ability of its distinguished author
SO far as tariff measures are concerned Mr.
Dingley may be said to have completed his task, but
there remain financial questions to be dealt with in
the settlement OF the currency and the important one
of providing we'll devised legislation for the up
building of~our merchant marine. On these meas
the nation expected great service from him and
counted upon his ZEAL his patriotism his energy and
his skill to accomplish the prompt enactment of the
desired legislation. Death has taken him at time
when his presence in Congress was OF vast value to
the republic and it comes as loss which will be
felt throughout the Union
Mr.. Dingley was one of those statesmen who rise
to emnence by patient, laborous study and self
sacrificing devotion to the public. His energies and
his rare business capacity, had he applied them to
the advancement OF his private fortune would have
made him rich man. He turned aside from the al
lurements OF personal gain and worked with an eye
single to the welfare OF his country. 1t is gratifying
to know that the people appreciated his true worth
and freely accorded him the honors to which he was
entitled He passes now into history as another of
those ilustrious sons OF Maine OF whom all Ameri-
cans are proud, and his memory will long be cher
ished by his countrymen.

tie United States and be disciplined, if neces-
! sary, to consummate the transaction.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that may not have to
shoot the principles OF the Declaration Of Indepen-
dcnce into the Fipnos But if theyrefus peacefully
to accept offer OF American liberty then it would
seem that their acceptance must be enforced at the
| lannon's mouth. They must either submit be
bombarded into submission. Our conception of
freedom regulated by law OF government for the peo
pie and by the people, if necessary must be rammed
down their threats
This decision of the expansionists, who deny that
they are imperialsts, is application OF Arneri
can doctrines Old-fashioned citizens insist that it
involves treason and revolution, and that now
dong what our Revolutionary Fathers shed their
blood to exrpate and with professions of sentiment
which false, but for the actual benefit of specu
lators and gamblers denying the high-soundng
manifesto that paraded before the world when
ambassador left Madrid Perhaps some of the
pansionsts who convinced that the masses have
closed their eyes and fallen into deep sleep point
out in the constitution in judicial decisions in the
practice OF our State Department, or in some
acknowledged record the particular American prin-
ciple precedent under which, through cap
ure OF Manila and the twenty million purchase from
SPAIN the nine millions OF Filipinos have been
verified from more less successful rebels against
Spain into involuntary subjects. citizens OF the
United States Perhaps they reconcile this
proposition with the entrenchment of freedom in the
constitution that was the chief triumph OF the Civil
War. Perhaps they can establish the consistency
especially in the face of the Congressional response
to the unanimous demand of California, of replacing
the African question in the South by Asiatic
question in the West. But, when they do these
things, they will have succeeded in fastening a
bride in the jaws OF the people, causing them to
err" and they will have followed the injunction:
'Prophesy not unto US right things. Speak unto us
smooth things; prophesy deceits." Freedom con
fcrred on Asiatics by bombardnlent and military
force will be unique revelation of manifest destiny
and will necessitate some new fabrcatons from the
reconstructed Jefferson and the expanded version OF
Cooley Constitutional Limitations.

NO CHANGE IN THE LIST.

pleasure. To have been able to say that a name had

The Burns men were confident that they had won

They mistaken, for when ne recorded his vote
it was Tor General Barnes, as it had been before.
Then applause rang through the Assembly cham

brought to bear upon him The County Committee
had issued its ukase and yet Knights stood firm.

There were many who feared for him. They had
witnessed the fall OF lson and the spectacular plunge

the inducements they would offer. Knights had
even been led to promise that he would support
Burns, but as some promises are better broken than
kept he realized that misrepresentation had been
made to him, that deliberate effort to deceive him
was part Of the programme and he turned against
those who would have led him astray They were
surprised and chagrined More surprises and greater
humiliation await them. The following is the black
list. It appeared yesterday. There is hope that
after another vote some OF the names may be taken

THE NEVADA SENATORSHIP.

= OLONEL JACK CHINN who has hitherto
been associated exclusively with Kentucky
politics, is now playing star part in the Sena-
torial melodrama in Nevada. Senator Stewart and
Congressman Newlands have the leading roles in the
play contestants and rivals for the Senate. but
Colonel CHM is making of the uproar and at
tracing most attention.
1t IS not altogether clear by what title or right the
Colonel is taking part in the contest 1t was as
serted at time that he had been sent out by the
Democratic National Committee to help Stewart
but that has been denied by the chairman of that com
mtee and the Colonel himself has declared that
if any mpertinent person wishes to know why he is
at Carson and what he is doing there they must ami,
to Blackburn, Mcmillan, Daniels or some other do
ntary in the far East
His entrance into Nevada politics has been hailed
with satisfaction by the supporters OF Stewart but
the Independent citizens of Nevada are shying bricks
at him. The Silver State for example after noting
his pernicous activity in the Senatorial fight saws

BATTERIES ROAR
IN FURNITURE WAR.

The rumbling thunder of PattOSien's
artillery duel with the high-price-com-
bine stores still rolls upon the ear and
! echoes among the hills from San Diego
to Eureka, from Nevada City to the
/ Golden Gate. Low prices resound
everywhere.
But don't you think that Pattosien's
are selling their goods at least 20 per
cent too low? They could easily get
! that much more than they ask and be
all that money in. l would advise them
to do it, That, no doubt, is good ad-
vice gratis, but when Pattosien's need
advice about running the great two
acre store in the Mission, they'll go to
a professional adviser and pay him for
+ a lump of it..
Their low prices are the bone Of con-
tention. That's exactly what the fight
is about They have been selling their
goods, according to the high-price cqIn-
bine's idea, 20 per cent too low all
along, and if they would join the pro-
cessfon and raise their prices the war
would be over tomorrow. BUI JOIN

Where is all that going to end? It is
never. going TO end. 1t will go straight

Is Miss Alice Rhodes.
Whenever the peculiarities of the ex-
premier are discussed by those who

The eccentric sister who is far famed

Her face is as smoothly fiorid as that

With an active, healthy and penetra-

the same success as her brother, who

Clever Can't. Rhodes.

The fact that Defender got the bet
ter OF the start was due TO the clever
work Of Capt Rhodes. and all over the
course he handled his ship In better
shape than did Capt. Barr OF the Co
lumbiG. Barr was inclined TO pinch his
boat little too much. and had his tib
fiuttering more than once on the wind
ward work. He made several more
tacks than there was need OF and over
stood the turning mark quite a little,
while the Defender made the final tack
some distance short Of where the Co
lumbia did. As regards handling OF
sails. honors were about even. both
crews setting spinnakers in exactly the
same length of time. but Rhodes had
the Defenders ballooner drawing bet
ter down the wind. The Columbia will
go TO New Rochelle tomorrow, where

will be given practice spins on the
Sound for a few days. Plans for her
