FORGE IN THE ORIENT.

In summary, therefore, and With re- spect both to the remote future and to immediate policy, the issue of events in the seas of China and in the Levant, in the extreme east and the extreme west of Asia, will depend upon the presence of force, evident in positions occupied, and in numbers available. This condi- tion, at once natural and inevitable, die tates co-operation--not formal, but none the less clearly conscious--between the Teutonic nations, because of their fun damental identity of interest, which Is the material factor and because the conduct to which that interest and the nature of their power alike impel is ani- mated by one spirit That Is the spirit of commerce-of interchange--es ly free, and desirous af an influence which, although it can and must be maintained by naval force locally dis played, cannot be widely diffused by the same agency; because the conditions of it's strength narrowly limit it's extension inland, making it for this chiefly de- pendent upon native local support. For effects, present and future, the sea pow CTS must rely upon evident benefit fol-

AN INTERVIEWING SITUATION.

We read that Kate Cobb is to appear
 before the Board of Pardons at it's June
 meeting and apply for release from the State prison, where she has been since 1879, when she, with Wesley W. Bishop, was sent there. Kate and Wesley lived in Norwich. They "loved'' each other very much, though Kate had husband and Wesley had wife. Kate's hus- band and Wesley's wife died, and arse- nic was found in their stomachs. Fin ally Wesley, in moment of weakness, or penitence, confessed that he put ar senic in his wife's tea and that Kate put arsenic in her husbands tea. Both Kate and Wesley were convicted of murder in the second degree and sen fenced to imprisonment for life. Now Kate wants to be released, and some rather sentimental stories are told about her life in prison. It is also pointed out that she never admitted that she did what Wesley said she did, and what the jury believed she did
 It is an interesting situation. If Kate is pardoned it will seem but fair to have Wesley pardoned too. and we do not think the weakness or penitence, which caused him to confess should be counted against him if Kates firm pro- testations of innocence are allowed to count in her favor. It was believed that he told the truth, and there was doubt about her truthfulness. which doubt has not yet been entirely removed. It may also be mentioned that the fact that 1t is long time since the two victims of the dreadful crime died should help Wesley as well as Kate.

ONCE MnRE.

Once more Brother Bryan has reaf- firmed his loyalty to 16 to 1. A few days ago he reaffirmed at Wichita Kansas This time the solemn cere- mony came off at Port Huron, Michi- gan. And he added: "The Democrats who are coming back must not expect a single departure to be made from the position taken by the party in 1896. First, because the position taken then was right; second, it would not be wise to alienate those who were with us in 1896 in order to please those who were then against us.'
 The look on Brother Bryan's face when he said this is described as "a lion look" not as mule look.

ANoTHER COLONIAL QUESTION.

| | We had Porto Rican question awhile ago, and now we are going to have a
 Philippines question, that is, an addi-
 tional one The American Chamber of
 Commerce of Manila has formally ap-
 pealed to congress for relief in this di- rection, and in petition that has been
 handed to each senator and representa-
 tive gives history of the way Spain
 used to pile tax upon tax on the various articles of import. These duties, it is claimed, have been continued in force
 by the American authorities, to the
 great oppression and injury of the Fill
 pinos. It is represented that the laws
 governing the people residing in the
 archipelago are, with few exceptions,
 an adoption of Certain Royal Decrees,"
 Upon motion of the Minister of Colo
 nies in accord with the Ministerial
 Council in the name of My August Son,
 the King Don Alfonzo KILL, etc.," and
 His Majesty, the King (whom God
 preserve) and in the name of the Queen
 Regent of the Kingdom, etc" Under
 these decrees most of the import duties
 on produce and manufactures from
 Spain were originally subject only to a
 tax of per cent. ad valorem and 10 per
 cent. of the specific duty applying to foreign goods for harbor improvements, while those from foreign ports were and are now subjected to a tax of from 50 to 25O per cent Formerly goods were ad- mitted to the Philippines from Spain practically free, bearing only small harbor tax. This was increased from time to time on one pretext and another until now, it is claimed, meat, flour, butter, fruits and most of the necessi- ties of life sustain an enormous tax. while Items of luxury sustain little. The Manila Chamber of Commerce com plains that our government has seen fit to retain not only the specific duties, but also the 10 per cent upon those duties for harbor construction (which, by the way, is not being constructed), the per cent. on an arbitrary and excessive consumption tax on flour | and many other articles and surtaxes of varying degree. The internal reve- nue laws are also claimed to be oner- ous, and, as the petition states, "the 1 internal revenue department is but JaWnshop where men put up their sal ! lries and business profits for the privi- ege of laboring and using their capi- | al" American trade in the Philippines s declared to be almost impossible un- Ter the present conditions, as many of he harsh laws that were winked at by he Spanish authorities are being en- breed under American rule with all the igor of military exaction. Immediate elief from these conditions is asked for n revision of the tariff and internal ! avenue laws of the archipelago.
 Harsh and oppressive burdens or tax
 tion, is the phrase used to describe the reatment of the Filipinos by the United ;tates. This isn't much like "benevo-

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. If the balance-sheet of the political
 ledger could be closed at this point. the
 result of the presidential election would be even now a foregone conclusion Unfortunately for the republicans, how ever the other side is crowded with menacing facts, I do not include such
 indefinite arguments as may be found In the knowledge that no president has successfully sought reelection since the days of Grant, third of Q century ago.
 This Is interesting but not convincing. I shall not even dwell upon the disap-
 pointments and antagonisms which bear like heavy load upon every adminis-
 tration, resulting from the failure to satisfy would-be offlce-holders with government positions This is now, as it always has been. an obstacle to party success and President Mckinley can- mt hope to escape it's unfavorable ef- feet. In fact, although the war with Spain and the later struggle in the Philippines, together with the establish ment of new governments, have vastly increased the number of offices at the disposal of the president, they have also
 uultlpiIeu tHe dppllCitHtS anu SWellSu the aggregate of the disappointed. At the same time, in view of the more mo- mentous questions before the people and the prevalent prosperity, I do not for a moment believe that the soreness of those who asked and did not receive will exert determining weight. It Is only another straw upon the camels back.
 If I should be asked to sum up the more important factors which threaten the success of President Mckinley in the approaching campaign, I should namo these:
 The hostility created by the admins- tratlon's friendly attitude towards Eng land.
 The fact that the enactment of the gold standard law removes the fear of the free coinage of silver.
 The widespread resentment against the injustice of a tariff between the United States and Porto Rico, with which is coupled the question whether our constitution follows our flag to our new ossessions.--Forum.

ENGLIND,S COIL,

A Board of Trade report which has
 just been issued in London has caused
 some alarm over the enormous and in-
 creasing amount of coal exported annu-
 ally from the United Kingdom. The
 total exports amounted in 1899 to no
 less than 41,1S0,900 tons, or 6,121,S70
 more than in the previous year. The greatest amount goes to European ports,
 including those on the Mediterranean.
 Excluding the Channel islands, Malta,
 and Cyprus, and certain points on the Asiatic and African shores, which ab-
 sorb about a million tons, European
 countries take about thirty-six million
 tons, the export in 1899 exceeding that in the previous year by over 5,5S9,O00 tons. There Is an increase in every d. rection except one. viz, Northern and Central America, where the falling off is about 157 ,0O0 tons, the total quantity being less than quarter of a million tons. Europe, In fact, accounts for nearly seven-eighths of the total ex- ports, Brazil, Uruguay, and the Argen- tine States being the only other large customers, taking more than two and quarter million tons. The question is how long the supply will meet the de- mand. Already in Lancashire, in more places than one, coal Is worked at depth of 2,700 feet, at temperature over 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The opin ions of experts as to the quantity re- vary tremendously. Some think there is enough for the next 1900 years, others that it will be exhausted in three or four centuries. As the sup ply begins to shorten. prices, of course, will begin to rise, and expensive fuel means great deal But the experts may be mistaken or a substitute dis covered. At all events there Is no cause for present anxiety.

A traveller says in a Washington in- terview that such scientific men as have examined the sand of the Alaska dis trict or the chance specimens of 1t that came their way unite in declaring that diamonds and rubies and perhaps some other precious stones ought to be found in it. Of couyse, these are two good reasons why, thus far, they have not been found. The first is that they have not been sought, and the second Is that, if found by chance, there Is probably not man in the country who would know a diamond in the rough. But the traveller in question says that when his party goes back this season he will take along a diamond expert and begin a careful and systematic search for the. gems.

There is. some talk in Washington military circles in regard to a proposi- tion now before congress regarding the construction of what is known as the Emery elevating gun carriage. Seven years ago congress authorized the War Department to contract for the building fof an experimental type of this car- riage. Seven years ago work on the car riage was begun. The department has paid out nearly $100,00O for 1t, and ac- cording to official reports it is nowhere near completion. In spite of this poor record Senator Teller has introduced an amendment asking for an additional 1000 for the carriage. Carriages for guns of the same size as those to be accommodated by the Emery carriage are now being bought by the army for less than $40,000.
