A SIGNIFICANT STRAW.

No. the meeting of which we intend
to speak was not held in the State of
Massachusetts, under the auspices of
that arch traitor" Edward Atkinson,
but in Cooper Union, under auspices of
Peoples Institute, in New York City.
The matter discussed before a tremen-
dous audience was: "Shall the course
of the administration with regard to
the Philippine Islands and the Filipino5
be sustained?"
Prof. e. r. Seligman, of Columbia
University, supported the administra-
tion side of this question. He went
over the whole ground, from the bat
tie Of Manila to the present day, and
expounded the familiar arguments. He
said the Philippines were the key to
the whole of China, and added:
Secretary Hay has just concluded an
important negotiation with respect to
the open door in China Does any one
suppose that had it not been for the vic
tories in the war with Spain that the
answers of England, Germany and other
countries would have been so prompt
anu III lIIc
Mr.. Edward NJ Shepard lost no time
He took up the familiar arguments of
the ImperiNists one by one and de-
molished them utterly.
At the close of the debate, Charles
Sprague Smith put the question to the
jury-the great audience. Mr.. Smith
first asked those who favored the poll
cy of the administration to stand up.
He announced that 25O voted for the
proposition. The reporter states that
Mr.. Smith dealt deliberately with the
side of the administration, throwing
in a few votes for fear of having miss
ed some. Then he asked those who op-
posed the policy Of the administration
to stand up. He then announced that
$50 were opposed.
Immediately the great audience broke
forth into the widest cheering 1t
was calculated to unsettle imperialist
nerves.
The debate was conducted courteous
ly throughout 1t is significant that
Mr.. McKinley's ambassador to Lon
don, Choate, although a New Yorker,
was roundly Kissed.
1t is safe to say that this audience
fairly illustrates the division of senti-
ment in this country on this subject.
Americans generally condemn the i'm
perial policy and uphold the principles
of the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution, by just about
this ratio of $50 to $50. And the long
er they study it the greater will be the
preponderance in favor of American
principles.
All of which furnishes Mr.. Mckinley
a subject for deep cogitation.

IN A FEARFUL SWEAT.

At first it was airily given out from
Washington that Mr.. Gage would easily
answer the charges against the admin
istration in connection with the Stand
ard Oil Bank in less than half a
column of newspaper space.
This was about week ago. Since
then a change seems to have come
over the spirit of the administration S
dream. Secretary Cages answer is
not ready yet, although he has been
busy on it about week with the aid
; of an army of treasury clerks, rein
forced by TWENTY EXTRA TYPE
WRITER'S
Evidently, Mr.. Gage does not find
half column quite enough space in
which to explain the administration S
secret deals with the much favored
Standard Oil Bank, which, by the way
Is the correspondent of Mr.. Cages
Chicago bank, of whose stock Mr.. Gage
still holds 700 shares in violation of
law.
The Standard Oil Bank has already
profited in interest alone on govern
ment deposits-on which it paid no
interest-under the present administra-
ton to the extent of at least $1,S80000
Mr.. Gage pleads that the bank has
not profted as depository Of gov
eminent funds, but ex-Comptroller
Myers, of New York, says: Il must
say that any statement that the banks
that have received government funds
cannot or do not make money by hold
ing them is too silly for business man
to comment upon. Such statement
has no business basis"
Moreover, if the Standard Oil Bank
finds its government deposits unprofit-
able, as Gage says, why does it nay
the city of New York per cent. a
year for it's deposits of public moneys?
These things alone, to say nothing
of the very grave charges made in con-
nection with the administrations
shady transactions with this bank in
the sale of the Custom House prop
erty, will require considerably more
than the half column to which Mr.
Cages sweeping reply to the whole
business was originally to be limited.
It is now thought we may hear from
ot1 NV cd or
Thursday.
Meanwhile, he is working overtime
in the midst of his army of clerks,
stenographers and twenty extra type
writer's.
And Mr. Mckinley is patiently. not
to say anxiously, waiting to revise his
reply.
The situation grows painful.

Whatever may be thought of British
policy in South Africa, and in spite of
his numerous reverses, we must admit
the bravery and stamina of Tommy
Atkins as illustrated in the siege of
Ladysmith. Half starved, sick and
disabled, harassed day and night by the
mcessant Boer bombardment for
weeks, the gallant British garrison has
still been enabled to hold the Boer
forces at bay in their determined as
saults in force. The courage of the be-
seiged garrison may be that Of despera-
tion, but it is none the less admirable.

The bubonic plague is yet sporadic.

WASHINGTON, January S.-The
plague has broken out in Manila be-
yond doubt, as appears from the fol-
lowing cablegram received by Surgeon
General Sternberg:
MANILA, January 6.
Three bubonic natives.
(Signed.) "GREENIEAF.
The signer is Col Greenleaf, assist
ant surgeon general and chief surgeon
in the Philippines.
1t was suspected last week that the
disease has obtained foothold in Ma
Mia, but it was not until Col Green
leafs report that the fact was estab-
Iished.
The first effect will probably be to
have quarantine laid upon all shipping
coming from Manila. The town will
be placed under the most rigid sani-
tary regulations, and this work will

ing the arrival at Manila of the marine
hospital service officers, now on the
way.
Gen. Sternberg says that Col. Green
leaf is exceptionally we'll fitted to cope
with the present emergency, and he
has no doubt that the disease will soon
be stamped out.
1t is noted that the cases of plague
reported are confined to the native
class, and it is said that that has been
the case in most of the cities of Asia
where the disease has appeared. 1t is
notably true of Hong Kong, where 1t
has existed for many months without
causing any considerable fatality
among the European population.
1t was probably from Hong Kong
that the disease found its way to Ma
Mia. The medical officers have been
all along on the watch to prevent this,
but owing to the close neighborhood of
Hong Kong to Manila and the large
amount of traffic carried on in a small
way by native junks and dhows, the
ultimate introduction of the disease in
to Manila was inevitable.

Patterson grilled Thomas in an up
to date style. Very little sympathy
will be wasted on Thomas tor all
he gets from Patterson. The gov
ernor is about the coldest persim-
mon in Colorado politics and has
little use for anyone, only as it cons
tributes to Thomas personality.
What Patterson said OF Thomas
nomination at Colorado Springs in
1898 is recognized as the absolute
truth by every delegate who att
tended that convention. II all
other things said by Patterson are
as true as the circumstance above

Speaking in relation to regulation
resembling the order against the
use of tobacco at West Point,
it has the following to say: "The
whole theory of the elimination of
temptation and the control of all
habits from without, which so
many Of the temperance reformers
attempt TO carry out, is in great
measure weak and erroneous. A
good many things need regulating,
some by law, but most Of the reg>
ulating Of personal habits must
come from within. Regulation
from outside is altogether too easy
to elude. and is more apt to weak>
en- character than strengthen" We
have endeavored to maintain here
tofore just what is stated above.
1t is undeniable that, the regulation
of the personal habits of a man or
the conduct of a business if it must
come from anywhere, must come
from within.
