LOPEZ AND SCHURMANN.
Washington PoSt.D


It does not appear TO US that Profess
scr Jacob G. Schurmann, who was a
member Of the first Philippine commits
sion, is throwing down the Hon. SiXto
Lopez of LuzOI with as much force
and frequency as might have been eX-
peeted. Professor Schurmann is a dis
tinguished scholar. the head of one of
our great universities, and a gentleman
OF conspicuous learning and acquire
ment. Moreover, ne spent some months
in Manila and incidentally presided or
helped to preside over one of the most
impressive high teas ever given in that
remote though feVeriSh capital. AS q
result of his careful observation Of the
two-stOry palace in which a liberal gov
eminent had installed him and his fell
W-cOmmiSSlOners, and perhaps in con-
sequence of several health-giving drives
about the city, the professor naturally
acquired clear insight into the Fill

He cannot possibly know anything of

and cur unseIfiSn aspirations as regards

are in doubt. Not only Professor
Schurmann's commission, but its sue

Taft, has sOlemnly declared on various
occasions that The rebellion has been
extinguished, and a man, capable OF
subscribing to such a proclamation is
quite capable of maintaining it in the
face Of any proof to the contrary.
Under the circumstances, we natur-
ally bestoW upon Professor Schurmann
a yearning anxiety to believe. It is true
that neither he FOR any of his confreres

Of vulgar fact. Tt is true that, by some

ROsTON's VIEW OF BRYAN.
Boston POst)

(BOston POst)
Mr.. Bryan. although Overwhelmingly
defeated in the electoral vote, has no
reason to feel ashamed of the popular
support which he received at the polls
yesterday. Democrats have no reason
to feel ashamed of the man whom they
made their candidate
Mr.. Bryan has stood for months in
the fierce light that beats upon a
throne" not only facing every test Of
and Drawing il. He has gone before the
people frankly and fearlessly; he has
made a campaign as clean as it was
vigorous, and one free from persOnali-
ties and mud-siinging. He has made
very few mistakes. He has given the
Democracy to be proud of him, and he
has conquered even the pTejudices of
his party opponents in unprecedented
measure, as the vote here in Massachu-
Setts shows.
We have never believed that the cleo
ton of any man to the presidency
would bring disaster to the republic,
and now we think that Mr. Bryan
most violent opponents will be willing
to concede that had he won The nation
would still live and prosper. We be-
lieve in the stability of the institutions
of this country: that no man can tear
them down: that none can undermine
them permanently.
Indeed. the American republic is so
strong that not even four years more
Of Mckinley can turn its face back
from the ancient principles of liberty
and Justice.

TAx-DODGING CORPORATIONS
New York WORLDLY


The corporations holding public fran

to avoid payment Of their taxes,
The franchise tax law as finally

eaualize the burden Of taxation, which
now rests most unjustly upon real es
tate, by assessing the franchises of
corporations using the public streets
with eXtTavagant profits to themselves
and with very little If any direct re-
turn to the owners of the streets-the
people. The constitUtionality of this
law has been affirmed by the supreme
court in five test cases brought in Buff
falO. But the corporations have of
course appealed, and those in this city
refuse to pay their taxes. amounting to
nearly S5,000,000, until the question is
finally settled.
In taking this course these corpora
lions are doing their best to increase
and intensity that unreasoning and
undiscriminating hostility TO corpora
lions and to combined wealth which
has found ugly and dangerous express

With wealth paying no specific tax

mjifiOnaiTes swearing off or otherwise

not strange that such documents as
the platforms of the POpuIists and the
Social Democrats should find support
