.,,,ckinr the Administration.

Mr. Wellington in his speech yesterday
gave his case away by disclaiming any IN
1er.tion of attacking the administrator.
The Senate was amused at that, and the
country will be. Why did the senator take
the floor? Why. but to deliver himself OF
the charge that the administration Is under
the thumb Of Great Britain? And who may
expect to profit by that charge bu, the sup
porters of Mr.. Bryan? They regard that
charge as one of their strongest cards.
They are preparing to play it for all That II
may be worth. And they are thankful Tor
any assistance in their game. They Will
feel themselves under deep obligations TO
Mr. Wellington They will quote him a
little later far and near on the stump. He
has played directly into their hands.
1t would cheaper Mr.. Wellington's inteili-
gence to assume that he believes his charge.
or that in making it he did not know that
he was attacking the administration. AS a
senator. familiar with all forms of state
craft he understands the workings of his
own government. the limitations Of the ex-
ecutive. and all that. He understands how
impossible il would be for the President to
commit this government by secret compact
to any policy with a foreign government
which included possible joint wariike action
in support of such policy. AS senator,
familiar with sentiment in the Senate and
with the condition of business there. he
understood that a speech in favor of the
Teller Boer resolution would not advance
the resolution a whit. So what other object
could he really have had in speaking but to
contribute something to the campaign
pIejudicial to the administration, whose
foreign policy he SO warmly opposes that
in the Senate and elsewhere he publicly
co-operates with its avowed opponents?
In both Mr.. Wellington and Mr. Hale the
democrats have assistants for this year s
fight of whom they are expecting much
The one has contributed to the democratic
claim of secret American alliance with
Great Britain, while the other has thrown
bis stone at the American control in Cuba
1t is question. however. if those two sena-
tors would not serve their new friends bet
ter by an unconditional alliance with them
They are supposed to speak now as republic
cans. But by going over unreservedly to
the other side they would figure in the
campaign as distinguished object lessons Of
how the policy of Imperialism has affected
true patriots. Their present attitude is not
truly heroic.

Industry In the White House,

In a fresh declaration of feaIty to Mr.
Bryan and his cause Richard Croker, who
predicts democratic success this year, says:
Mark my words. when W. j. Bryan is
elected he will work eighteen hours a day
IN order to carry out in spirit and in letter
every plank in the democratic platform
Hitherto other men have regarded tia plat
form drawn up at their convention as a lad
der on which they mount to power and
which they kick down as soon as they get
to the top. Mr.. Bryan is not a man Of that
sort. He does not want to be elected for
purposes of vaingiory and love of position
He thinks, and | agree with him. that If he
is elected he will do his country good. He
will be able to serve the people. and he will
be a governing President. not mere lay
figure, whose movements are governed by
wire pullers. He is man of conviction"
We need not take Mr.. Croker literally or
too seriously. but his promise as to Mr..
Bryan's industry recalls. strangely enough.
the old campaign cry CT the populists when
they first asked to be intrusted with power.
Jerry Simpson and Mr.. PETER. in their first
deliverances on the stump, attributed much
of the trouble OF which they complained to
the lack of industry here in Washington.
They described Congress as composed Of

There Is nothing now but the maneuver-
ings of the oleo trust to prevent the House
from acting favorably on the Circuit bill be-
fore final adjournment. The committee on
agriculture today agreed by a vote of 10 to
I to report the bill with the recommended
ton of passage, and now the fight will be
transferred to the larger arena of the
House, where all the proceedings will be in
the open. The circuit bill Is simple, direct
and, as far as can be judged in advance of
its enactment and execution, effective. 1t
does not harm the honest oleo interests,
for 1t expressly discriminates in favor of
the imitation butter when colored to make
1t distinctive, and against 1t when 1t is
colored to initiate butter Thus an in
centive to stamp the oleo Enthusiastically as
imitation is offered. while there remains no
more than the present temptation to i'm
pose a fraud upon the purchaser. the pen
atty for which upon detection is severe.
This bill Furthermore clinches the jurisdic-
ton of the United States over the COM
modify when transported beyond state
bounds and in general it reinforces the ex-
listing law in satisfactory manner.
The House, it is said, will now be called
upon to express its views on this impor-
tant subject, first by petition to the rules
committee to set time for the considera-
ton of the bill. and then, if that petition is
of avail, by a vote on the measure itself.
1t is the general belief that there is a
majority for the bill, despite the turnings
and twistings of the oleo trust, which has
enlisted the aid of the cotton-seed oil pro-
6ucers, the beef raisers and the pork packers
by the plea that the products of the indus
try of each class are used chiefly In the
manufacture Of this imitation. Opposed to
these strictly selfish interests will stand
the representatives who have heard from
the farmers. whose plea is for fair play In
the markets. and who protest against be-
ing forced to compete on even terms against
an artificial product which can be made at
very low price and can then be sold as
genuine butter at butter rates. On such an
issue the result should not be doubtful.

requires no further urging >@here remains

issue. The prevailing sentiment in Con-
gress. as observed few months ago when
the matter was under acute discussion Is
that all future public buildings, of what
ever description. should be located within
the triangle formed by Pennsylvania ave-
nue. the Mall and 18th street west. There
are many comparatively cheap sites to be
had now within this space, upon any one OF
which the Hall of Records could be con-
veniently established. By setting down this
necessary structure in such a neighborhood
its future availability would be assured, for

the public bureaus. Let Secretary Cages

The Demand for a Hal, of Record,

A communication from the Secretary of
the Treasury was laid before the Senate
yesterday asking for legal provision for the
rental of a certain building in the neighbour
hood of the treasury for the storage of the
surplus files Of that department. A shorter
cut toward the solution of this great and
growing problem of caring for the incur
rent records Of the government would be to
provide in the sundry civil bill. now pend
ing. for the construction of a Hall of Rec
ords, which is acknowledged by even the
rigid economists of Congress to be among
the pressing needs of the government The
matter has been discussed many times, and

The land and labor questions are the vital
issues in the Philippines problem. In edi-
torial correspondence printed in The Star
today the labor question Is discussed with
some detail.
The temptation to the United States is
strong to form partnership of American
capital and Chinese labor for the develop
ment of the Philippines as a national asset.
By this combination the republic could I'M
doubleday amass the largest amount Of
Chinaman is cheaper and more efficient
worker than the Filipino. He is ready
and anxious to cooperate. while the Fill
Pine or at least the Tagalog is demoralized
as a workman by his experiences as an in
surrectionist, and in his attitude toward
US is sullen and distrustful.
But this temptation is to be vigorously
resisted. The duty Is upon us to promote
the welfare of the people of the Islands
as well as to develop the resources of Phil
ippine soil. If it be possible, We must make
Of the Filipinos an army OF prosperous
workers. A policy will not be defensible,
however great it's immediate financial re-
suits. which in effect plans the extermina-
ton through starvation Of the people COM
mitted to our guardianship or their perma-
nent degradation into worthless loafers.
The facts presented in this correspond
ence give encouragement to believe that the
right policy in this matter will in the end
turn out to be the profitable policy: that
the Filipinos promise to develop on the
lines Of the Javanese as workers; and that
American and Filipino close cooperation
will not only richly develop Philippine re-
sources, but will best promote the perma-
nent welfare Of the people Of the Philip
pines and of the United States.

From the PHILADELPHIA Record,

rIOIH inc IHIlHueIVLlH NeCOfu.
The three men who undertook to blow up
the ThOrold lock on the Welland canal,
April 81, with dynamite were indicted in
the Canadian courts on Wednesday last,
tried and convicted on Thursday and sem
fenced to life Imprisonment on Friday.
Their crime was a dastardly which, If
1t had been successful in result, would have
caused a fearful disaster, doubtless involv-
ing loss of life as well as of property; but
the Record only calls attention to it for the
purpose of contrasting the CELEBRITY of Cana
dian justice with the leaden-heeIed punish
ment for crime dealt out in the United
States.
There would be fewer lynchings in the
country If there were any certainty that
the laws for the punishment of crime would
be suitably and swiftly enforced.

that in respect to the war in South Africa

conduct.

CONFESSION OF POLITE.
Tells How He Killed His Partner.
Peter Stanton.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Aug. 14--Georse
Politz. in Jail here charged with the muir
der of his partner and cousin. Peter Stan
ton, the Greek candy manufacturer, after
a weeks confinement in his cell, made
full confession last night. POLITE says:
Stanton and myself last fall engaged in
the wholesale and retail candy business,
being equal partners. We got along all
right for a while, but he was cashier in
the business, and he soon refused to allow
me any money out of the business for pri-
yate use
''On the sat of May II. just as we were
retiring in our private room in the rear of
the factory, We quarreled over the division
of the money and he threw q shoe at NE.
He also hurled a heavy glass at me. l
picked up a quart bottle and struck him
over the head. The blow was harder one
than I intended and he fell to the floor. 1
picked him up and put him to bed and
found his skull crushed. He was uncon-
scious, and never spoke afterWard He
lived three hours-almost till daylight. I
bathed his head in ice water and gave him
whisky and tried to relieve him. When he
died as so excited 1 knew not what to do.
I covered the body up on the church and
left it there until the next night after bust
ness hours Then l dragged it into the
cellar and buried it in the einders and
piled coal over it"
The kody was not recovered until last
week, and Pol1tz, who had gone to Charles
ton, was suspected and Immediately ar
rested. He proclaimed his innocence until
last night.
