pocket while Senator Hanna instructed
the auctioneer to label the republican
convention "Sold" now turns out to be
worthless or nearly so. Mr.. Hanna is
compelled to make an und1gnltled
scramble for what he can get from the
thrifty Philadelphians by way of COM
promise for his check. He is said to
have scaled the indebtedness TO $780,
600, but of this less than one-half, or
$4,000, is actually pledged. Mean
while Mr.. Hanna has been forced to
take what ready cash the committee
chose to give him and TO return to cam
paign headquarters with the old, old
necessity of liberal fat-frying still
staring him in the face.
The trouble is that it is too late for
reprisals. Philadelphia has the con-
vention and any attempt at changing
the assignment would give rise to ma
tional scandal. Of course the commit
tee is collectively and severely indig-
nant that the convention was not award
ed to Chicago, whose refusal to bid
for it with a cash bonus and whose
ample guaranty to pay all the ex-
penses had at least the merit of honesty.
But regrets will not now help mat
ters.
Let us hope that Philadelphia will be
generous enough not to require the
members Of the national republican
committee TO pay their own expenses.

friends for the privilege Of being swim

A POINT WELL TAKEN.
"eIl-Founded Protest Against the
Administration Policy oe
Imperialism.

Congressman Bailey, of Texas, had
good warrant for his protest to the ef-
feet that, while the minority of the
rules committee of the house agreed
with the majority as to the propriety
OF the creation of congressional COM
mttee on insular affairs to have iuris-
diction over all matters (excepting
those affecting the revenues and the
appropriations pertaining to the is
lands which came to the United States
through the treaty of 1899 with Spain.
and to Cuba, it did dissent from the
idea that the committee should be
created for the purpose of permanent
ly dealing" with the islands.
1t will be we'll for congress to remem-
ber that the United States government
is not yet definitely committed to the
permanent holding of the Philippines
or to the annexation of Cuba. 1t is true
that the administration policy as au-
thoritatively outlined by President Nc
Kinley declares that we cannot abandon
the Philippines, and hints at the pos
sible necessity for annexing Cuba, but
not until a majority in congress shall
have voted to sustain the presidents
policy will it go into effect as debating
and controlling government action.
The debate and the vote on this vital
question are still to come, pending
which provisional action alone may be
taken with propriety.
The democratic minority in congress
stands opposed to the administration
policy of Imperialism, and it's plain duty
is to combat that policy with an unceas-
ing loyalty to the sound American prin-
ciples that forbid it's acceptance by an
American government. The issue must
be fought out before the American peo-
ple-it must not be taken for granted
that it is already settled because the
president has urged imperialism in his
message to congress. Powerful as is
the administration influence, the time
has not yet come for permanent deal
ing" with the Philippines as an Ameri-
can colonial possession.
Congressman Bailey's point, there

FACTS SUPPRESSED.
The Republican Congress VIII
Cover Up Faults of the
Admin stratiOn.

Anything that may serve to throw
an unfavorable light on the Mckinley
administration will be suppressed by
the republican congress.
This has been proved by the action
OF the senate which rejected by a par
ty vote a resolution calling for the
facts concerning the negotiations of
the treaty under which Spain received
$40, 100000 for the Philippines.
Mckinley has professed an earnest
desire to turn the Philippine matter
over to congress, but that body can
not act intelligently without knowing
all the facts. In refusing to call for
this information, the republican SEN
ate expresses a preference to ''going
it blind rather than to bring to the
public knowledge facts prejudicial to
the administration.
1t is quite evident that in the begin
ming Mckinley was in favor of secur-
ing for the United States simply a
coaling and naval station at Manila
What was it that changed this inten-
ton?
If the inquiry as to negotiations pre-
ceeding the treaty of Paris could be
pressed the answer might be found.
1t is alleged that the hand of Eng
land was busy in this matter and that
Great Britain for purposes of selfish
interest wanted to entangle this coun-
try in oriental politics.
Doubtless this charge is susceptible
of proof, but that proof will not be
forthcoming.
Censorship began before Otis made
it odious at Manila. It still exists, and
Mckinley protected by his partisan
congress rests contentedly behind the
screen of secrecy and does the bidding
of England careless of the interests of
the people OF this country.-Chicag

HANNA'S GOLD BRICK.
The Ohio Sure Thing BOSS 1tuhs
Up Against n Film Flam
Game.

It does not violently wrench ones
conception of the peculiarly Philadel-
phian standards of moral probity to
find that the good and great Senator
Hanna has been made the victim OF
a confidence game. A community that
not merely stomachs but idolizes quay,
that has water steals, munlclPal oullo-
ing steals, and other big and little steals
too numerous to mention, is not likely
to balk at a little matter like bogus
check.
The surprise, if there is any, comes
from the unmistakable evidence mat
the usually astute senator from ONO
was caught mapping. For once tne
memories of Wanamakers prlncely
contributions to the republican ram
making fund were allowed to becloud
his business sagacity. The great
prestidigitateur was lulled to sense
of false security by an ordinary bit OF
handwriting. Surely, we may imagine
Hanna as reasoning, the city OF orotn-
erly love at least can be trusted. IL the
center of republican sanctIty ana the
domicile of holy John himself is not
worthy of our faith then whom III TINS
vale of tears may we trust?
But this is just where Mr.. Hanna IKE
the agriculturist who buys gold brick
and carefully carries it home, trusted
once too often. He took the word OF
the smooth Quakers that their check
was genuine and that the funds were
behind it, The republican campaign
committee needed cash-$100,OOO OF 1t
and the republican national conven-
tion was sold to the oleaglnous gentle-
men from Philadelphia for a piece OF
paper, about two by eight, with GER
tain hieroglyphics on it. The latter
now turns out to be about as e1ficacious
in producing the coin of the constltu-
tion, for which the republican cam
paign languishes, as would the cabal-
istic characters on an Egyptian papy-
rus.
In other words, the 100000 check

THE MAN WHO WORKS.
Different from the Man who Gets
Through Things the Easiest
Way He Can.

''The man that is so far advanced
that he likes the work he is doing"
said Mr.. Stoggleton, 'has reason to
feel hopeful of himself. l suppose
that the very great majority of us go
through the work we have in hand the
easiest way we can and get through
it, skipping the hard places when pos
sible, and thinking We'll be glad when
it's finished; but the next job will be
just the same; there will be just about
so many hard places in it, and then
we'll be wishing just the same that
we could get through that job.
'"The fact appears to be that we arc
always trying to shirk the present
job. We mean well, in a feeble sort
of way, and the next thing we tackle
we are going to do right up to the
handle; but when we strike that,
when that becomes the present work,
don't we try to shirk that, too? We
do, inGe ed. AMI that's what we do all
through life; daily putting off onr
ocst endeavors till tomorrow. Kind
of miserable thing to Go, isn't it?
''But occasionally you meet man
who puts in his best licks every day
anG rejoices in the labor; he doesn't
care a continental what the next day
is going to bring to him. he can
handle it, whatever it is; just now he's
engaged with to-day's labor; and he
does that up thoroughly and complete
ly, and searches out the last nook and
Granny; he isn't trying to see what be
can pass by, but what he can root out;
and he goes home satisfied with his
work, and he's the cne man in a thou
sarA that leads all the rest and his
pay corresponds with his labors''-

SHE WAS THOUGHTFUL.
Saved Her Husband the Trouble of
Cashing Unused Railway
Tickets.

you've all read lots of jokes about
the woman who gets up in the dead OF
the night to rife her husbands pock-
ets," said a man to an Inquirer re-
porter. ''They usually confine them
selves to the purloining of what small
change happens to be there. But
here's case I know of, of a woman
IL West Philadelphia, who showed
much more enterprise than that, and
who, think, deserves the palm.
cit happened the other night. The
womans husband is a travelling man,
and is now home for a couple of
months. He was out the other night,
and as he did not get in until between
two and three o'clock in the morn
ing he was pretty sleepy, and his slum-
Der was resultantly heavy. His wife
happened to be out of change at the
time, and she thought of the old way
of getting it. She got up quietly and
proceeded to 60 through the suit
which her husband had just taken off.
There was not a cent of change to be
found, and she saw with dismay that
the smallest thing was ten dollar
bill. She hadn't nerve enough to take
that, and she was rather in despair
for a moment. Then she came upon a
little bundle of tickets bound with an
elastic. Her face frightened up, and
she put the package in her jewel box.
'The next morning the clerk at the
redemption office of one of the rail
roads paid out 1892 for some seven
unusued return coupons, and the wom-
an went briskly off to spend her i'll
gotten gains. And when she told a
friend, and the friend suggested that
her husband wouldn't bless her when
he wanted the tickets, she answered,
in a. very injured tone: Why, just
think of the trouble l saved him in
going way down to that horrid ofhee
myself. Philadelphia Inquirer.
