AN ARGUMENT AGAINST IMPERIAL

The extensive postal frauds In Cuba
which are now being Investigated furnish
strong argument against the Republi-
can party's policy OF holding the Philip
pines permanently. If It has been found
TO be difficult matter to administer the
affairs of Cuba honestly under military
rule, how much more difficult would 1t he
to administer honestly civil government in
the Philippines? The Philippines are
thousands of miles way, while Cuba is
close at hand. The presumption is that the
restraining influence of the government at
Washington would be much less on Off
cials of our far away possessions than
upon those of our nearby possessions.
The officials at Washington were no
doubt greatly disturbed when the reports
of the Nicely postoffice frauds were re-
ceived. but what could they expect under
the system of making appointments which
prevails? The President and heads of the
various departments have not time to
make thorough inquiry into the charac-
ters and qualifications OF applicants for
appointments, and they would not be per-
mitted to exercise their judgments in
making appointments IL llteg Hdt. ITO
politicians insist upon naming their polti-
cal friends and supporters for all the
places not covered by the civil service
law.
If the Philippines were to become per-
manent possession OF this county a large
percentage of those who would go to those
islands as appointees of the government
would do so with the purpose of making
money out of their positions. The prob
abilities are that there would be a. vast
amount of official corruption. There
would be scandals like that in Cuba crop
ping out all the time. And official cor
ruption in the Philippines would have de-
moralizing effect upon officials in this
country.
In order to govern colonies successfully
and without any considerable amount of
official corruption, it is necessary to have
a civil service system composed of
men who have had experience and
through training in official life.
If we hold the Philippines as
a permanent possession a very large per-
oentage of the officials sent there will of
course be men of high character and will
be a credit to their country but under our
system of making appointments it can
hardly be otherwise than that many unfit
men will be given places.

The spirit of love and kindness to all,
which pervaded every word and deed cf
Phillips Brooks, did not hinder his keen
appreciation Of others faillngs and short
comings: or his own, says The Youths
Companion.
why in the world doesn't Brown write
his autobiography, and have IL published"
said one of the Bishops friends, referring
to an incessant talker and most egatistic,l
man, who had been wasting an hour of the
Bishops most precious time by rehearsal
of some unimportant happenings.

regret for the quickly spoken truth. and

1T LACKS CAMPAIGN MATERIAL.

1t is evident that Senator Teller thinks
that there is no campaign ammunition
in the ship subsidy bill for the Republl-
cans, although 1t is a strictly Republican
measure. In the Senate on Monday, SEN
ator Chandler, in the course of some re-
marks ON the naval appropriation bill,
said that he would like to have a vote on
the ship subsidy bill at this session. Sen
ator Teller remarked that he had not the
slightest idea that that bill would be taken
up until after the campaign, and he said
that he did not think Senator Chandler
had any idea that 1t would be taken UP
until after the campaign.
A reading of the minority report on the
ship subsidy bill, submitted by a ma
jority of the Democrats of the Merchant
Marine Committee of the House, shows
why the Republicans win not likely take
up the bill until after the presidential cleo
ton. According TO the statements made
in that report the ship subsidy scheme
would not assist materially in the expor-
tation of American products, or aid in
building up the American marine. The
amount of the subsidy is s9,0O00OO a year.
and 1t would all go to three or four lines
of steamships, which are mainly interest
ed in carrying passengers.
The report says: Subsidies are graded
according to speed and capacities of ships,
and are more than twice as high per ton
of capacity for the swift passenger steam
ers, which carry but little cargo, as fgr
ordinary freight steamers which carry
from so to 80 per cent OF our exports. TIE
subsidy, therefore, If 1t affects rates at
all, will affect passenger rather than
freight rates" Further along in the re-
port the statement is made that "the
government is asked to pay to the stock
holders of single steamship line 81, 800 600
per year for carrying abroad in its four
flrst-class ships not American produce,
but American tourists"
The claim is made In the report that
subsidies have never materially lowered
freight rates or increased the commerce
of the countries granting them. 1t Is
also asserted that no country has ever
built up merchant marine in that way.
Another statement made in the report is
that only about per cent. of the total
tonnage of the worlds shipping is sub
sdized, and pretty nearly all of the sub
sldy money goes to passenger and mail
steamers.
Assuming that the statements in this re-
port are correct, at is evident that the
subsidy of 80, 100000. for which the subsidy
bill provides. would not do much. if any
thing, towards extending American COM
merce OF building UP the American mer-
chant marine 1t would take several
times 50 100000 to accomplish much in thar
direction.

Particular About His shoes

Western couple who were on a visit

New York Tribune, put UP at the Waldorf
Astoria during their stay in this city, and
what was left of their first day I'm New

decorations of the hotel. The myrtle
room, the Astor gallery and the great

masnihcence of the appointments and opu-

but that awe was one of the feelings that
what they had witnessed gave rise to was
evidenced by the husband, who. upon re-
firing for the night when he was asked

his usual custom, he was not going 20 put

Several weeks ago New York newspa-
per opened subscription lists for a fund for
the relief of the famine sufferers in India
After persistent effort on the part Of the
paper, the sum of 81 $50 had been collect
ed up TO last Monday-and this in the
greatest ard richest city In America The
sum is pitifully small in view of the ter
rlble disaster which has overtalxen the
people of India. Why have not the con-
tributions been larger? 1t is well known
that New York is liberal city Let
storm devastate the sea islands of the
South or a food carry death and want in
the Mississippi valley, or a forest fire
sweep through a section OF the North
west leaving desolation and suffering in
its path, and New York Immediately takes
out her pocketbook and makes a substan-
tial Offering. But she is not sending relief
to India to any extent. Is 1t because In
dia is so far away; and is sympathy nit
igated by miles.

Many of the Methodist ministers in ses-
sion in Chicago, read the story OF the JEFF
fries-Corbett fight the other day. Il was
not because they wanted to read it, of
course, but because the Rev. Mr.. Jeffries,
father Of the pugilist is a Methodist min
ister in California. Feeling a brotherly
interest IN the Rev Mr.. Jeffries, they took
an ovuncular interest in his son, and, in
order that they might know just how 70
pray for him, it was necessary 10 ascer-
tain how wicked he had been in his deal
