IMPERIALISM OPERATION.

At last the un-American imperial
policy of the spectators who control
the administration at Washington has
begun to bear it's legitimate fruit, and
at last account twenty American SOL
diers lay dead and 125 wounded from
an assault of the Filipino army on the
American position at Manila. And the
United States have a new foreign war
on their hands, not like that with their
former enemy with whom their quarrel
was just, but against the Filipino Re-
public, which wrested its independence
from Spain, and now refuses to sur
render it to the United States.
A heavy responsibility rests upon
those whose rapacity and un-American
greed of territory has brought about
this terrible situation, the worst fea
lures of which probably have vet to
come.
Ten thousand miles from home, in a
foreign land, in a climate deadly to
white men, surrounded by eight mil
lions of hostile people, our handful of
troops at Manila are in a precarious
predicament, indeed. Thanks to their
bravery and ability they are a match
for many times their number of Agu-
inaldo's troops, but their situation is
none the less precarious.
And what is the cause, the reason of
this dangerous situation of an Ameri-
can army on the other side of the
earth? Nothing under heaven but the
greed of few constituencies specu-
lators, who would barter the lives and
health of American soldiers to gain a
few more dirty dollars. The American
people have no possible use for the
Philippine islands, and do not want
them under any conditions.
Meanwhile, we are given terrible
object lesson in Imperialism and soon
er than expected, although warning of
the collision was repeatedly given by
the Filipino representative so repeated
ly snubbed by the administration at
Washington.
We now may be prepared for steady
stream of more ships and more soldiers
for the Philippines, and the expenditure
of more millions of dollars. We have
taken UP the subjugation of the Fill
pinos where the Spanish monarchy left
off defeated-the first step in the sac
rifice of American soldiers on the altar
of speculative greed in the guise of
expansion.

PORTO RICANS DISSATISFIED
Over the Course Taken by Governor Gen.

over the Course Taken by Governor Gen.
erai Henry as to Civil Matters
San Juan de Porto Rico, February 5.
The insular cabinet late yesterday
rendered its resignation to Governor
General Henry, because, after dismiss
Ing Senior Carbonell, Gen Henry or
dered Gen. Eaton to take charge OF
the department of public instruction,
and instructed Major Pierce to take
charge of the department of public
works. Both these departments belong
to the interior department The cabi-
net demands the immediate appoint
ment Of a successor to Senior Carbonell,
and that natives be appointed in place
o fGen. Eaton and Major Pierce, in
accordance with previous enunciations
OF the policy of Gen. Henry and the
colonial commission that no Americans
are to hold office here. Gen Henry
promises compliance with these de-
mands, and the resignation of the
members of the insular cabinet are
therefore held in allegiance.
Gen. Henry will place the religious
orders in possession of the buildings
from which they had previously been
elected, and will restrain any further
proceedings to dispossess them until
their rights are judicially determined.

THE CITY AND THE MONoPoLIEs.

1t is a great pity in view of the ex-
tensive and valuable privileges the tel
ephone company enjoys in this city
without cost to the company, that the
city has not voice in regulating the
price of the service given by this
monopoly, which at present does about
as it pleases and charges what it
pleases. 1t doesn't seem necessary for
the telephone people to have the con-
sent of any one but the board of pub
! lie works to tear up the city's streets
at will wherever and whenever it
! pleases, occupying the sidewalks as
! long as it pleases with its poles and
materials swapping it's fingers the
while in the faces of all who may OBJ
/ ject.
! The streets and alleys of the city
are now torn up in no less than TWEEN
! ty-seven different places. Several thor
oughfares in consequence have been
practically impossible to the people
| for many weeks.
Of course, this is against the law,
but the telephone company overcomes
that little matter by simply getting
permission to go ahead from the board
of public works, which obligingly sus-
ponds the ordinance governing such
matters and allows the company full
right Of way in the premises.
This condition would be bad enough
| if the company paid a high price for
its franchise from the city for the
use of the streets and alleys, but when
single cent for its franchise and es-
capes taxation On everything it owns
but mere paltry bit of personal prop
| erty, it becomes an outrage, to put it
in mild language.
In view of this, it would be but a
slight recompense for the city to have
some voice in the regulation of the
charges the concern makes to the cit
| liens for its services. These charges
are now quite in keeping with the
monopolistic character of the company
and are out of all proportion to the
service rendered OF course, the sa-
cred ''vested rights" Of such concerns
cannot be interfered with so long as
those rights exist in their present
charters, but it will be well for the city
to keep these things in mind and in
| future instead of giving away fran
cises of priceless value for nothing at
all, retain the power to hold the fran
chise possessor UP to it's full duty to
the city and the citizens.
This is an old question, but the more
light we have upon it the more intel
ligent citizens must become convinced
that it has been most wrongly dealt
with in the past. Present franchises
will expire, however, and new privi-
| leges will be asked by these concerns in
the near future-for they always have
| favors to ask if never any to grant
! in return-and then will be the time
for the municipality to have an in
ming and to hold these arrogant mo-
nopolies strictly to their duty.

FORCE THE ISSUE.

1t is pretty clear that if the State
House ring can compass it there will
be no anti-fee system legislation at
this session of the Legislature, despite
Republican platform promises in the
late campaign.
In view of this situation, the course
of the Democratic House of Delegates
is perfectly plain. Let it pass a meas
ure providing that the fees of the
offices of the Secretary of State and the
Auditor be hereafter reported by the
incumbents of those offices under oath
and covered into the State Treasury
where they belong and where they will
go far toward tightening the burden
of the taxpayers. Let the House pass
such, bill and thus force the Repub-

torship from this State depends on the
legality of the votes of Pierson and
Getzendanner- whose cases, are ex-
actly similar to the majority
of the cases decided by the
House committee The Senate can not
decide SCOTS title legal except by ig-
noring these latest and best precedents
set up by the coordinate branch of
Congress, which, however, are simply in
line with the presidents of a century.
The Scott case will determine which
stands first with the Republican major
ity of the Senate-the law, or partisan
advantage.

AS TO CONSTITUTIONS rrNkEKING

While there is no question as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of revising the Constitu-
ton OF this State to meet changed con-
ditions all along the line, still it is
equally certain that there is no neces-
slty for haste in the matter. 1t is
thing of too vast Importance to be dis
posed of hastily. 1t is also certain that
the matter cannot be properly attended
to by the proposed method of submit
ting constitutional amendments to the
people,
There is but one way to accomplish
the main object in view in this import
ant work. The Constitution cannot be
patched up by the amendment process,
so that the result will be generally sat
isfactory. 1t would be simply patch
work, incomplete and ill-fitting, half
modern and half out-of- date, and this
is not the condition in which our fun
damental law should be.
To the end, therefore, that the Con-
moniously revised and made in every
article up-to-date and in keeping with
modern development and progress, the
Register would suggest that the whole
matter be left for submission to con-
stitutional convention whose members
shall be chosen by the people at the
next general election, the work of said
convention to be passed upon and rati-
fed or rejected by the people at the
next general election following it's
completion.
In this way alone may complete
job be made of constitutional revision
and every feature of the work given
proper care and attention.
There should be no patchwork, no
more cutting and fitting and alteration
in this and that part, but let it be made
over anew, inside and out, and thor
oughIy refitted to the new and larger
requirements of the State which has
long since outgrown the present gar
ment.
In this way the matter would be at
tended to by capable men having the
confidence of the people, and the funda-
mental law would not only be brought
fully up to the requirements of the
present, but would stand without need
of revision or amendment for long
time in the future.

The Judiciary Committee of the
House having asked to be discharged
from consideration of the bill taxing
telephone, telegraph, express COM
panies, etc, and that the measure be
referred to the committee on taxation
and finance, let us hope that the latter
committee will take hold of the meas
ure with a will and bring these corpo-
rations to book and not shirk the task
as the Senate committee has done by
reporting a similar measure without
recommendation. And in this connec-
ton it should not overlook the Pull
man car trust, which, as the Register
has already at length pointed out, now
escapes payment on the bulk of its
property in this State.

CATCHING AT STRAWS.

kidd was ousted without pretense of
judgment by simple resolution" says
the Register. Has the Register forgotten
that the precise proceeding was had in
the Senate in this case as was had in
the House, in the Brohard case? Re
publican Secretary of State listed Kidd
Dem). on the strength of his certificate,
as he listed Brohard on the strength Of
the decision of the contests. Both stand
in the same position.-Intelligen
This is as false as everything the
organ of the State House ring has said
on the subject, which means that it is
wholly untruthful.
Brohard was ousted because he had
no prima facia title to a seat and was
illegally on the roll, he having no GER
tifcate of election. Kids case is
wholly different He not only possesses
a regular certificate of election, but
the returns, not only by the first
count, but according to a recount by
Republican officials, show that he was
legally elected.
There is no shadow of parallel be-
tween the cases of Kidd and Brohard
and the Senate revolutionists and their
organ know it. The Democrats of the
House have done nothing not entirely
fair and legal. while the reyolutonists
of the Senate have been guilty of utter
unfairness and lawlessness. In their
desperation they clutch at straws.
They would best acknowledge what
all the people know. and what Repub-
licans in the Senate have repeatedly
acknowledged in private that their
case is without any semblance of
truth or justice.
The Bar. the organ of the West Vir-
ginia Bar Association. and strictly non
partisan. in reviewing this case, says:
Unless the newspaper reports are IN
trustworthy and misleading. the unseat-
ing of Mr.. Kidd by the State Senate
was a deliberate and defiant disregard
of ali the forms of law without any pre-
tense of Justification other than to Sc
cure a political partisan advantage. =

lican leaders OF the Senate either to
pass it and thus do away with the
Ubiquitous fee system for good, or else
go upon the record as upholding in
the Legislature an abuse which they
and their party with such ostentation
condemned in platform and from the
hustings. Let them redeem their
pledges or stand convicted of grossest
deception and hypocrisy.
Then the Democrats will have done
their whole duty in the premises and
if the Republicans shall stultify them
selves and repudiate and spit upon
their promises to the people, the voters
will know what to do in future and
how much reliance to place in the

The farther West Virginia advances in
industrial and commercial activities, the
more surely Republican does the State
become.-Parkersburg Journal.
Then West Virginia must be back
sliding in these things at a frightful
pace since the election last November,
for Republican majorities were cut
down almost to the vanishing point all
along the line, and if another election
were to be held to-day, the State would
go overwhelmingly Democratic. Yet
we see no evidence of decay, or of any
thing but prosperity. Evidently the
political rule laid down by Revolution
