To a conference of anti-imperialists in Phla-
delphia Thursday evening Mr.. Carl Schurz
made an elaborate address, near the beginning
of which he said
Pre-eminent among the monumental figures of
the worlds history stand the founders of ma
tons; and re-eminent among them stands he
whose virtue, fortitude and wisdom are honored
by all mankind without dissenting voice. 1t
in their judgment of other heroes, George Wash
ingtons character has long ceased to be sub
ject OF debate, the verdict which places him in
the first rank among the great citizens in his
tory being universally concordant and final.
Later in his discourse Mr. Schurz put these
questions to his hearers:
And can you be blind to the effects which the
tendencies of Imperialism are already exercising
among ourselves upon the popular mind? Do
you not hear the SOOTHING levity with which the
Declaration of Independence and the high ideals
of liberty and human rights which so long have
been sacred to our people are made sport of
how the teachings of Washington and Lincoln
are derided as Anticipated nursery rhymes?
The dispatches lead us to assume that Mr.
SchurZ did not pause at this point for reply
but continued his speech with the f1uency and
confidence for which he is celebrated. OF course
he was not interrupted, but a quiet interroga-
tory now cannot be considered impairment If
as you say, Mr.. Schurz, the virtue, fortftude and
wisdom of Washington are honored by all man
kind without dissenting voice the verdict be-
ing universally concordant, by whom are the
teachings Of Washington derided as antiquated
nursery rhymes? Having presumably been
lured in the heat of argument into forgetfulness
of your exordium. by which of these fiat contra
dictons do you elect TO stand? Is the superla-
tive wisdom of Washington honOred by all man
kind without one dissenting voice? Or are his
teachings so commonly derided that the popular
mind now reflects that derisive estimate?
Whichever alternative Mr.. Schurz chooses. the
truth remains that Washington is honOred by all
mankind excepting only those who in defence of
a shallow and disloyal creed attribute to him
vain and blind conviction of his own omns-
cience

works, even II some of them were not embar-
raised as to fuel.
Russia pushes railroad across Northern
Asia at vast cost, the New-York Life In
surance Company lending $1OoOOOO0 of the
money and America furnishing part of the
rails and locomotives. Lumber needed In de-
velopng the region comes from this country,
the Siberian being poor. The agent Of the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce finds
piles of American flour at the landings, even
the best seed yielding there inferior wheat.
The Chinese problem also works power
fully to strengthen the position of the United
States, not merely in diplomacy. but in COM
mercial relations, because of the contrasts be-
tween American friendliness and the pressing
demands of some other Powers. With Manila
an American outpost, the trade of this country
with China should be expanded within few
years more than any has until recently
imagined 1t could be. Other great Powers ex-
pend enormous sums, importing from America
vessels, rails. locomotives and ammunition, in
order to push their opportunities In the Far
East But the United States seems to gain
greater advantages by standing apart from their
strife.

known as the Philippine Islands. The
civil rights and political status Of the native
'inha bitaHts of the territories hereby ceded TO
1.-THE United States shall be determined by the
congress. The inhabitants shall
be secured in the free exercise of their re-
'ligion." Simply that, and nothing more. There
is not word In the treaty about taking the ter
ritory and the people into the Union. as there
was In the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. The
United States simply took possession of the isl
ands with free hand save on the one topic
of religion And the insertion of that provision
was in itself additional indication that the
treaty was not to force the islands into the
Union or under the Constitution. for II the isl
ands were to be under the Constitution such
provision about religious freedom would have
been superfiuous, the Constitution Itself pro-
viding therefor
So 1t Is quite untrue to say that puerto RICO
"came to us in exactly the same manner that
"New-Mexico and Arizona did" The facts or
record prove that 1t came to us in radically
different manner. In the earlier case we bound
ourselves by treaty to take the territory into the
Union. In the latter case we did such thing,
hut even implied In the treaty that the territory
was not to become part OF the Union. In the
one case we acquired the territory for specific
and expressed purpose In the other we simply
acquired possession of 1t, with free hand to
do what we pleased with 1t. And what could
be more illogical and unreasonable than to say
that rule made in the one case explicitly be-
cause of and on the strength of treaty stipula-
tons. must be equally applied to the other case
In which such treaty stipulations exist and
IN which, therefore, there is no ground for such
a rule? Justice Wayne's decision was based
directly upon treaty stipulations. How could a
like decision be made in this case, In which
there no such stipulations upon which to
base it? The rule of uniformity was for Cali
fornia. as Mr.. Brown says advisable. But a
uniform rule Is applicable only to uniform cases
When the cases differ radically and essentially
the rules covering them must also differ To
each case, rules suited to its conditions

State Auditor Hart will take up to-day the
reports of Actuary Fitch and Chief Clerk
Neal relative to the alleged questionable
transactions of the management of the
Union Life Insurance Company during the
time of James s. Anderson, secretary. The
investigation is the result of the examina-
ton by the auditing department and COM
plants made by a number of policy hold
ers 1t is claimed many pages are missing
from the records and that transfers of
funds from the mortuary fund were made

reports made by the company to the state
auditor show a difference. Anderson was
relieved as secretary in October. 1899 and 1t
is said that at the time charges were made
against him, but were allowed to drop The
examination by Auditor Hart will require
