Speaking Of trusts at the Union
League banquet, Senator Lodge
declared in one breath that the
Republican party was prepared to
combat any social, political or
economic evils to be apprehended
from such combinations, and in
the next breath he asserted that
the party would maintain the pro-
tective system, which is the pro-
life mother ofthe trusts, and would
extend the protective policy ito
the upbuilding OF our merchant
marine" thus creating the oppor-
tunity for a new trust to be main
tanned BY direct contributions from
the Federal Treasury. From the
outsiart the existent trusts have
been sheltered under the wing OF
the Republican party. Il cannot
be expected to turn upon and des-
troy ltS own DroOd,
The speech OF Senator Lodge
may be taken as an indication oi
the drift OF thought among the
leaders Of the party. They in.

their course by the vote of the
people at the late election. AS Z

Kossnth and KEuger,

Fifty years ago the representa-
tive OF a people defeated in the
struggle for independence and
exlled from his country, was
brought to our shores in one Of our
warships, and received a magni6-
cent ovation, not only from our
people, but also from our Govern
ment. Times have changed since
Kossuth's day. and our Admins
tration journals comment on the
enthusiastic reception Of Kruger
at Marseilles with marked re-
straint. We have contracted some
"entangling alliances" which
would make it highly inexpedient
tor the Administration to extend
any courtesies to this fugitive. and
his appearance in the halls of Con-
grsss would be very embarrassing.
Being at present engaged in iorc-
ing our own sovereignty on an un-
willing people. we need to be very
guarded in expressing sympathy
with those who are resisting simi-
lar proceedings, even in the ma
Of republican government. Posi-
bly, Aguinaldo may somewhere at
tempt to pose in the character Of a
patriot and occasion awkward and
inVidious comparisons. AS for the
acelamations Of the French popu.
lace, they must be regarded as
mere expressions OF hatred oi
England, or as the frothV efferVes-
cence OF a volatile people at the
sounding names Of liberty and in
dependence. Under different cir.
cumstances Kruger might receivC
an enthusiastic welcome il he we're
to visit our country; but until th'
subjugation Of the Filipinos ha:
been completed, we shall not be il
position to use the language which
would be appropriate on such al
] occasion.

PORTO RICO AND WHISKY

Speaking to a recent question in
Congress Mr.. Allen again brought in a
happy story, thus:
"The condition Of the Republican
Senators, who while ago began shout
ing for tree trade for Porto Rico and
against the Presidents policy, reminds
me OF the time when was District
Attorney of Itawamba County, I had
to contend with good deal of illegal
whisky selling. prosecuted a good
many cases and the Iu,lEe fined heavily
every convicted man.
"When the court was over the Judge
and started for the train. He wanted
bottle OF whisky to cheer him on his
ride, and sent me to get it. The men
we had convicted said that we had been
so severe on them that they would never
give OF sell another drop OF whisky to
anybody. The Judge looked at me
rehectively and regretlulIy and said:
well, John, dOn't you think we have
rather overdone this thingP"

A Tea Tax Paradox.

December 6 is the Ia7th ami
yersarY of the famous Boston tea
party" 1t was a tea tax of 3 pence
pound which caused that event
and led to the American revolu-
ton, Our colonial foreiathers, by
the waV. did not pay this tax, for
the simple reason that they de-
clined 70 drink the tea.
The historic issue of the tea tax,
says the st. Paul Globe, is now
again before the American people.
When Congress declared war
against SPAN tor the liberation Of
Cuba il passed a war revenue bill
which included a tax Of 10 cents
pound on imports Of tea, When
Congress convenes next Tuesday
the first measure it is billed 20 take
up is an amendment OF the war
revenue law with its tea tax. 1t is
therefore possible that Congress
may celebrate the anniversary OF
the Boston tea party" by contest
ing again the historic issue oil the
tax on tea.
The lines Of the contest are ap-
parently drawn. AT a preliminary
meeting OF the WaVs and Means
Committee Of the House it was
decided by the Government major
ity that the tea tax would not be
touched for fear OF bringing up the
general issue Of tariff revision.
Moreover. the Presidents deter
mination to ask Congress for an
army oi Ioo, 900 for the "pacifca-
ton" oi the Orient would not per-
nit the repeal oil the heavy reve-
nue. derived from the annual tax
on 70, ,ooo, 900 pounds OF imported
tea.
So in seeking Oriental trade we
are to maintain a hostile tax
against one of the chief articles OF
that trade. The revenue thus de-
rived we are to use in supporting
an army to kill of the Orientals
with whom we wish to trade. AS
he raises to his lips his cup Of war
taxed tea, the American citizen
drinks to the death OF the Oriental
producer. And the tax paid by
the American consumer upon his
beverage is blood money for the
benevolent assimilation" Of the
lives Of those whose toll has made
the beverage possible. Such is the
irony Of history and destiny -
or, as Mark Hanna phrases it, OF
"Christianization and civilization"
when the war power and tax
power OF government break in
upon the laws OF humanity and
commerce.

A SHOT AT DEPRw.

Chauncey Depew became a target for
an Allen story not long after he became

day;
"A negro eplcure caught a fine large
'possum, skinned. dressed and hung it
before a blazing fire under a spreading
tree, and while it was baking to a
delectable brown lay down on the
ground and went to sleep beside Il.

The 18th mtan Canal.

Soon after Congress assemblies,
says the Baltimore Sun, the COM
mission OF engineers and other
leading citizens appointed by the
President to investigate all the
practicable routes across the 18th
mus-the Panama as well as the
Nicaragua canal route-is eX
pected to report and thus complete
an important preliminary to the
action Of Congress. What route
the commission will recommend
is unknown, but the Nicaragua
route is generally believed to have
been selected as the best. There
are recent unofficial statements to
the effect that our State Depart
ment has taken advantage of the
lapsing OF all canal concessions to
negotiate with the Central Amer
ica republics a satisfactory ar
rangement for the purchase by this
Government OF the territorial
rights in Nicaragua and Costa
Rica which are necessary for the
construction Of the canal. Sup
posing the consent Of Costa Rics
and Nicaragua to have been gained,
there will remain an obstacle tc
our exclusive control OF the cana
in the Clayton-Bulwer treaty.
Some notifications of this treaty
have been secured IN the Hay

Independent Royalist from Hawaii, who

1900, which is still in the hands OF
the Senate and remains to be rati-
fed. Its provisions are not wholly
satisfactory to those who want ex
elusive rights. The views Of those
who wish to 60 ahead in defiance
OF our treaty obligations and build
a canal are expressed as follc ws by
a contemporary: "The treaty
would admit Great Bri ain and
other European powers to joint
political control Of this American
waterway. They would become
guarantors of the neutrality oi the
canal in time OF war as in time OF
peace, and theirs would be the
right and the duty to enforce neu-
tralitY, even against ourselves, in
any war in which this country was
engaged. The Hay Paun ;eiote
treaty allows US to construct the
canal, to pay for it and to operate
it as a trustee for the worlds COM
merce; il prohibits the fortification
OF the canal by u.s." This is an ex-
treme statement of the case, but the
advocates of the canal will be con-
tent to have a Nicaragua Canal
which is related to the United
States in about the same way that
the useful Susz Canal is related to
France. Frenchmen control the
operations OF the Suez Canal in
virtue Of their owning a majority
Of the stock, but they do not at
tempt on that account to fortiiy it
or to exclude ANYBODY from it.
The President, it is understood,
will urge the passage by the Sem
ate OF the Hay Paunceiote treaty
as it stands. A canal bill known
as the Hepburn bill passed the
House in May, 1900, and is now in
the Senate, having been made the
special order for December 10.
This bill, ignoring the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. as well as the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, authorizes the
President to acquire from Costa
Rica and Nicaragua the necessary
territory and empowers the Secre-
tary OF War to proceed to con
struct the canal and iortiiY it, linn
iting the total cost to SI4o, ,ooo, 900
and appropriating SIo, 200, 900 to
begin the work. 1t remains to be |
seen, now that the concessions OF
the Maritime Canal Company have |
clearly lapsed and the lobby is
whether there will be
the same zeal for the enactment Of
1 canal bill that formerly mani.
ested itself so nOislly in and out
of Congress.
1t is OF interest in this connec.
ion to note the attitudes Of the
wo great parties in regard to the
,anal question as defined in the
platforms adopted at their last ma
ional conventions. The Repub-
ican platform says simply 1--WE
avor the construction, ownership,
control and protection OF an 18TH
nian canal by the Government Of
he United States" The Demo
;ratic platform says: 1--WE favor
he immediate construction, own
,rship and control OF the Nicara-
qua Canal bV the United States"
Ind 1--WE condemn the Hay
treaty as a surrender
of American rights and interests

SPEAKING TO Mr.. HEWITT.

Abram S. Hewitt once made a speech
at Southern society dinner to which
Mr.. Allen felt called upon to make some
response. II was about the decadence
of Southern craftsmanship. To the
House Mr.. Allen said:
why, sir, recOllect not long ago
went to a banquet in Baltimore where
everything was so good, where was
surrounded by so many rich men, that
by the time it came my turn to speak l
felt so well that addressed them as
Fellow capitalists Therefore /, on
my own motion, would never quote a
banquet speech on anybody, because l
do not think it exactly the square
thing"
Mr.. Allen has been referred to as too
much OF a wit to be an orator, Missis.
sippi lately refused to take him seriously
when he invited promotion from the
House to the Senate, and this may or
may not have to do with his deteImIna-
ton to retire.
