ANOTHER VIEW or THE II BARRELS

villain and a slave We resent In aa-
vance, and hurl back with scorn anu
contumely, the ignoble suggestion that
n troTsseau packed in barrels is moth
ing to get proud about. The F1lipinos
always put their things in barrels
when they have things. Cooperage is
native and an infant industry which
all true patriots patronize. Does any
rational human being suppose that
self-respecting Filipino. no matter how
high his official station, would buy
Yankee trunk merely for the purpose OF
rafting about in it a collar and two
shirts? No, no! The barrel Is the true
solution of the problem. It 10 useful
in all crises and emergencies. If not
needed for earrings, handkerchiefs ana
josies, it Is ever ready for beer, ana, IN
the last resort, it can be used as ref-
uge and a sleeping place. There Is a
certain dignity about the barrel we
shall not tamely hear it secuted or dis
paraged.
No doubt we could say something
much more to the point If the Otis
censorship admitted the escape of real
| Nv important information. We feel
sure that a great victory has been
achieved, and that the acquisition Of
Mrs. Aguinaldos wardrobe is a mere
detail. 1t is CALLING to have to chron-
icle the capture of a few dollars worth
of feminine trickery when, with all The
facts before u.s. we might be able to
tell Of fiery attacks and splendid con-
quests and moving accidents by flood
and field. 1t humiliates us to count
our spolls by barrels when we might
sing of battle, of triumph, and of chiv-
airy Nevertheless. albeit we are con-
fined to gallons, firkins. kegs and other
vulgar limitations Of that kind, we
chant the glory OF San Nicolas and
hoop our rapture lest 1t burst. Some
thing tells us--perhaps it Is whisper

white house moves the Baltimore
American to suggest that il anything
is to be done in the way Of improve
nlents an entirely new white house
should be erected. The present build
ing is too small and the American
thinks it can never be made, by tack
ing on additions, what it ought to be.
A large, magnificent building, thor
oughly up to date, and with reference
to the future, is what is wanted. The
new congressional library is the type
of building for this age and nation.
1t is the finest library in the world.
The material is not brick and stucco,
such as is common in Europe, but 1T
is Of the most durable nature. No
agency much short of an earthquake
can damage it. Every structure for
the nations use in Washington should
be similar kind. The president ought
to live in style COMFORTING with the
dignity of his office, and the people are
willing and anxious that he should. In
matters Of this kind there Is no Mig
gardly spirit in the country. The re-
tention of the present house will be adj
yocated by some on sentimental
grounds. But when sentiment clashes
with beauty and utility, sentiment
ought to retire.

IN an article written for the New
York Times Representative-elect
Roberts of Utah defends himself at
some length He says that the Nor
mons have never broken the compact
regarding polygamy that the people ST
the state made with the United States
at the constitutional convention. He
denies that the Mormon church was in
any way a party to that convention,
except that its members were citizens
of the territory at the time of it's 40
mission to the union, but says that the
church took cognizance of the will of
the people and issued it's decree in 1890,
doing away with any future polyga-
nous marriages; but that its was ney-
er intended to disrupt the family ties
formed before the new order of things
went into effect. and that those Nor
mons who had plural wives felt NOR
al obligation toward the women who
made what was to them sacred union
In conclusion. Mr.. Roberts says ''tna
American people should be generous
enough, now that the evil is cut off at
the fountain head, to allow the streams
that emanted from it to lose themselves
in the oblivion of DEATH" Mr.. Rob
erts states positively that there has
been no resumption of polygamous
marriages by the Mormon church In
spite of the claims that such marriages
are still secretly performed.

same time we are surprised. For
months past the Inter Mountain in its
enthusiasm for silver charged us with
abandoning it because of a statement
concerning the ratio, and every time it
thought of our assumed apostacy it
grew more Indignant. Only q few
weeks ago it insisted that the qtles-
ton ought to be debated between it
self and the Standard. Now forsooth 1t
actually seeks to defend the president
of the United States by declaring that
his position en- bimetallism Is substAn-
TALLY the same as that of the Stand
ard. We are not quite able to see why
the Standard should be so bitterly as
sailed and Mckinley lauded to the
skies, II their position on the para
mount issue" is substantially the same.
But 1T SO happens that there Is no basis
for the statement that the two posi-
tions are substantially the same"
The Standard never opposed the ratio
Of sixteen to one. 1t merely suggested
that there might be bimetallism at
some other ratio, and it spoke purely in
the abstract. 1t is in favor of the ratio
of sixteen to one now, believing it to
be the best and most practicable ratio
for this country to adopt. Mr.. McKin-
ley is not only opposed to the ratio of
sixteen to one, but he is opposed to
free coinage at any ratio. II the Inter
Mountain knows of any ratio that Mr..
Mckinley is in favor Of will it kindly
name 1t?

The genuine silver republican left
the old party because he regarded sill
yer as the paramount issue" When
he proffered his support to the demo-
cratic ticket he didn't ask that the
democracy of the nation be silent on
every other question. AS a matter OF
fact the Chicago convention made a
number of declarations the wisdom OF
which was doubted by many silver re-
publicans-and by some democrats,
too-but looking upon bimetallism as
the most important Of all, the honest
silver republican either accepted or ig-
nored everything else. and gave u
BRYAN and sewall his unfaltering sup
port.
There Is no more reason now why
a man who is sincerely in favor OF
restoring silver to its constitutional
n,aca as money should demand that
the democratic party be silent upon
all other questions than there was III
1896. All that the silver republican
has any right to do is to demand that
the democracy remain faithful to the
nrinciple of free silver coinage and
nothing can be more certain than that
such will be the attitude Of the ma
tional silver republican committee.
Mr.. Dubois statement to the effect
that the question of imperialism Will
not be allowed to divide the b!metallic
forces may be taken as representing
the views Of every silver man VINO
really makes that issue paramount
In the very nature Of things it must
be so, because If a man is not willing
to subordinate all other questions II
is a gross solecism to speak of silver
as being the paramount issue with
him.
It is a pleasure to know that there
is a genuine silver republican senti-
ment in Montana, although it wouio
never be suspected from the tone Oh
the norton of the press which has as
sumed to speak for that sentiment IN
this part Of the state. Fortunately
T, though. there is a fair degree OF inter
Hgence in Montana, and very few o.

Silver Republicans to Meet.

~HE press dispatches state that
the executive committee of the
national silver republican party
will meet in Chicago on the 2Sth in
slant. Of this committee ex-senator
Dubois is chairman, and its member
ship, il we remember correctly, in
cludes among others eX-Congressman
Hartman of this state and either Sem
ator Teller or Congressman Shafroth
of Colorado, with Hon. Charles a.
Towne, the national chairman, as an
ex-officio member. At all events these
gentlemen and others of national prom
inence will doubtless be there, and it
will be both interesting and gratifying
to observe when they come to act the
difference between a true silver repub-
lican and a false one.
In the recent contest in Nebraska
the silver republicans stood loyal to
their principles, shoulder to shoulder
with their democratic and populist al
lies, and the result was the most sig
nal and significant political victory Of
the year. Not only did the silver re-
publicans of Mr.. Bryan's home state
recognize the fidelity of the democracy
to the silver cause. but they also rec
ognized the great principle that the
declaration of independence means the
same thing in the Philippines that it
does in the United States. They de-
nounced militarism as being in the in.
terest of the trusts, and demanded that
the spirit of the Cuban war resolution
be adhered to in the treatment OF tbs
Philippines.
1t is quite possible that there ma!
have been differences among then
concerning the war in those islands
but if so it is very certain that the!
were subordinated to the great issu
upon which they had raised the stand
ard of revolt against the republican
party. 1t is evident that thousand
upon thousands of them had not bee
educated up to the great idea tina
opposition to Mr.. McKinley's foreig
policy is treason"
1t is a matter of record that whe
the silver republican convention met l.
ST. Louis in 1886, out of something NOR
than five hundred delegates present
about two hundred had served in tn
Union army or navy during the CIV
war, and il can be affirmed with pei
feet safety that not ten Of them ar
supporting Mckinley at this time.

In the battle of Waterloo itself the

British troops to the number of some

that Mrs. Sarah M. Todd will remain
in the local pesthouse, a permanent
charge on the city and county of San
Francisco
Mrs. Todd came to this city nearly a
year ago from Victoria, B. c., and it
was learned that she was leper who
had escaped from Molokai in the Ha-
Waaian islands.
The woman protested against her re.
straint on the ground that she was an
English subject, and an effort was made
to have her native country take charge
of her, but without success. The Ea
waiian government declined to allow
her to be returned to the islands.
