Tho DemoorAtic AttItude,

The Democrats in both the Sen
ate and the House are practically
unanimously opposed to the
annexation and permanent gov
ernment of the Philippines by the
United States.
They stand by our Declaration
OF Independence. They abide by
the Constitution. They respect
the traditional policy OF the Re-
public. They are satisfied that
the control OF this continent and
the domination Of this hemisp lere
are enough to keep us occuPi I'd
and to satisfy any reasonable
ambition for glory. They believe
contrary to Mr.. Mckinley, that
we have unsolved home profile ms
of sufficient gravity to tax our wis
dom for years to come. They do
not believe in the assimilation
OF 900 900 mongrels and savages
10000 miles away. They do moi
favor a permanent annual exPendi'
ture OF Saoo, 900 900 to support a
graft Of imperialism upon the Re-
public.
This position, shared in common
by Cleveland and Bryan and oN
nearly all the Democrats in Con
gress, is creditable to their goo'
sense and their patriotism. II onil
party interest were considered tht

Senator Chandler,

whose love for the Boston and
Maine Railroad is exactly opPo-
site 10 the love which Damon bore
Pythias, has scored a point against
that road by securing the publica-
ton OF the names of all the persons
to whom free passes have been
granted. Mr.. Chandler started
the trouble by making a formal
complaint against the road last
summer, and compelled the Inter
state Commerce Commission to
bring his charges to a trial. AT
this hearing the rallIo Ioad company
submitted list of the persons to
whom passes had been issued, but
the list remained buried in the
archives of the commission until
Senator Chandler secured the pass
age OF a resolution directing that
il be sent to the Senate. So now
the list appelrs in Public Docu-
ment, No. 65,
Itis a list occupying page after
page OF small type and Mr.. Chand-
ler's heart is doubtless happy be-
cause. among the benehciaries oi
the railroads courtesy are the
Governor Of New Hampshire and
nearly all Of the other officials ol
the State, while the Railroad Com
missioners, not only Of New Hamp
shire, but Of all the other New
England States, are equally well
| provided. The members Of thc
railroad committee of the Massa'
chusetts Legislature are all pro
vided with ANIMALS, while clerks

all sorts and conditions Of men ar'

EaRan Must Pay the Penalty.

Eagan must face a court martial.
The friendship OF Alger will not
save him. The withdrawal OF his
indecent language will have no
bearing on the case. The Presi-
dent canno, refuse to order his ar
raignment. His offence was so
fiagrant that no apology can atone
for it. His defamation oil General
Miles was malicious and Premed-
itated. He wrote out his coarse
insults, and furnished the repre-
sentatives OF the press with ad-
vance copies OF his testimony. 1t
was his purpose to give them the
widest circulation.
Eagan's punishment should be
in keeping with his offence.
Nothing short Of his dishonorable
dismissal from the army will an
swer. He has dIsgraced the uni-
form he wears, has brought dis
credit upon the army, and grossly
assailed his superior officer, thus
putting himself beyond the pale
of sympathy or consideration.
The attack upon General Miles
is the natural sequence Of the treat
ment accorded the commanding
general oi the army by the War
Department. Eagan was no
doubt encouraged by Alger's at
tempts to humiliate Miles and
discredit his authority during the
Cuban campaign. But he went
too far. The immunity that he
enjoyed under Alger will not pro-
tect him now.
The matter is in the hands oi the
President. and regard tor the good
name OF the army, respect for its
commanding general and the de-
mands Of an outraged public has
compelled him to order a court
martial for Eagan without delay.

tion there can be no duties Levied
ON exports. Even under the exor-
bitant and tyrannical tax laws OF
Spain the revenues raised from the
Philippines never yielded the
Spanish treasury a net surplus OF
more than $500, 900 in a year. we
cannot collect half as much reve-
nue. as Spain collected, and the
bLrden OF the enormously IN
creased expenditure imposed on
us by the acquisition Of the islands
must be borne by ourselves.
From what sources shall we

Federal revenue1 The Supreme
Court has ruled out a tax on IN
comes. Whiskey canuot be taxed
any higher, for il it we're it would
produce less revenue. Tobacco
cannot be taxed higher without
imperilling the industry ElisneI
tariff rates would yield still less
revenue. II the tax on beer were
increased it would not bring more
revenue, but less.
The deficiency OF our imperial
balance sheet can only be met by
new bond issues, adding 100000
600 a year to our national interest
bearing debt, or by heavy special
license taxes on every conceivable
vocation oil the people.
Mr.. Swanson is confident that
when the people understand the
heavy burden that will be imposed
upon them by the new imperial
policy they will be bitterly
opposed to it.

France, if we make the considerable
exception of Paris and the large towns,
is probably the most conservative coun-
try in western Europe. The nation as a
whole has accepted changes Of regime
imposed upon It from the capital with
wonderful dociIity. Indeed, revolutions
and restorations during the present
century have altered little but the color
Of the cockade. To the peasant--wh o
is, after all, the backbone OF France--it
really matters nothing whether the
government Of the day iscalled Royalist,
Republican or Imperialist. The system
remains UNCHANGED, and by whatever
name the workers Of it are called, il is
recognized without enthusiasm, but also
without repugnance, By an oyerwhelm-
ing majority OF FTenrhmen, There is
always the same contribution OF flesh
and blood to the army TO be made;
always the same burden Of taxation
tor the defence OF the Fatherland to be
borne. And for this very reason, revo-
lutions-so called-are effected more
| easily in France than elsewhere. NO
where else in the world Is there less
resistance to the accomplished FACT

A Colonial Cabinet

The commission which the Pres
ident is TO send to the Philippines
is not Intended-so it appears-to
gather and submit information as
to the desirability Of attempting
the annexation and benevolent
assimilation" of this Malay pam
demonium.
There would have been sense IN
such an inquiry SIX months ago.
But the commission now appointed
without the advice and consent
OF the Senate-ls designed by the
President to act "as a sort OF ad-
visory boar d, a local cabinet as 1t
were, to live in the Philippines and
counsel him as to each new step in
colonial development"
This is beautifully imperial and
imperially beautiful. Having as
sumed the ratification OF the treaty
before the Senate has acted upon
it, and having in his proclamation
to the inhabitants Of the Philip
pines practically declared war
against them without the authority
OF Congress, Mr.. Mckinley is now
to send a sort of kitchen cabinet
there as his personal representa-
tlves in the development of his
colonial policy.
Fortunately Congress is in ses-
sion, and is unlikely to wait Tor
the report OF any commission, per-
sonal or otherwise, before making
known its purpose, as the repre-
sentative Of the people, not to go
into any scheme Of colonial eX-
pansion in the Malay archipelago
not to follow a war for freedom
with a war OF conquest--not to set
up a benevolent" despotism in
the Philippines.
Mr.. Mckinley is either dilatorY
or premature.

be adopted with simply a protest
This would give them an issue ior
1000 that would put all differences
on other questions out OF sight and
sweep the Republicans from power
with the force of whirlwind.
But the Democrats in Congress
are right in standing firmly against
this wild scheme of imperialism
now, so that the nation shall not
be committed to it. "Our country
first" is a good motto

,nual cost ,.."....... S2aI,3so,ooo

Subtracting the highest possible
figure for revenues to be got from
the Philippines from the lowest
figure for revenue we lose by taking
them inside our tariff wall, Senator
Gallery showed that we would have
a net annual loss of revenue of
E47, 1000. 900.
Thus, said ne, "there would still
be left over Saoo, 900, 900 a year OF
imperial expenditures raised by
new taxation from the Am erican
people.
"Ifyou capitalize $500, 900, 900 at
3 per cent. it represents an addition
to our national debt OF nearly
Sc, 700, 900 900. And that is three
times as large as the total amount
of the great Civil War debt OF the
United States.
"Is the imperial game worth the
candleP The total trade of the
Philippines is about $50, 900, 900 a
year. II we get it all and pay

Policy OF the Democratic Party.
The attempts of prominent DEM
ocrats to define a policy for their
party in the next national cam
paign have attracted some atten-
tion during the last few weeks. In
several public addresses Mr.. Bryan
has defended the silver doctrine OF
the platform of 1896, saying that
il ~ill surely continue to be the
chief tenet of the party. The offer
Of some who LETT the party in 1896
to return upon condition that sill
YER shall be dropped and the hrst
place be given to a fight against
trust combinations will not, he
says, be accepted. II he has his
way the platform will oppose what
he calls militarism, the creation
and maintC nance OF a standing
army OF 100, 900 men, and any pol
icy concerning the Philippines
which does not provide for the in
dependence of the Filipinos. 1t is
reported that his views were ap-
proved at a recent meeting OF the
WAYS and Means Committee of the
National Democratic Committee,
and that the most influential mem
bers OF the National Committee
have decided that he should be
nominated again upon the old sill
YER platform, enlarged by the ad'
ditions which he suggests.

North Carolina and the Negro.
A bill has been introduced into
the North Carolina Legislature to
disfranchiset the negro. The Dem
ocrats have a big majority, and
the bill will doubtless be passed.
1t is modelled after the Louisiana
law.
The committee having the meas
ure in charge recently announced
that It would give the negro lead
ers a hearing. Two responded
the Rev. r. II. w. Leak, OF Raj
eigh, and Prof. Crosby. Leak said
he would be satisfied with anything
the Legislature might do in the
matter. "In the South" he de-
clared, negroes are allowed to
v ork and earn money together
with whites, but not to spend it
together; while in the North they
are not allowed to make money
together. l like better the condi-
tions here"

voters in North Carolina, OF whom
