MUST PAY THE PIPER.

Champ Clark used some mighty
wholesome argument in his speech
at Boulder in favor of anti>imperial-
ism. In referring to the war now
being carried OH in the Philippines
he said:
II don't care baubee about
Aguinaldo and the Philippines. l
am an American, white man Of
the blonde variety at that, and my
sympathy, my heart, my solicitude
go out to the American people,
who are the real sufferers in the
jingo business and who must pay
the piper in this mad dance of
death.
One of the things is true about
the Filipinos-either they are fit
for selfsgovernment or not. The
jingos can take either horn of that
dilemma, and whichever they take,
mark my words, they will be i'm
paled upon it. If they are fit for
government, in Gods name let
them govern themselves.
If they are not fit, we do not
want them for fellow citizens. We
have too many now who are not
strictly prime and they all vote the
republican ticket with irritating and
monotonous regularity.
But one thing l do know and
that is whether the Filipinos are
fit to govern themselves or not,
they are not fit to govern US, and
that is precisely what they will do
if we take them into political part
nership with US, for the supreme
court of the United States has de>
cided time and time again that the
only purpose for which we can ac-
quire foreign territory is to make
states out OF it and il they are ever
admitted as states they will control
the senate as well as the electoral
college.
Where is the American citizen
who is willing to have that distant
archipelago inhabited by an alien
people, admitted into the union Of
states on a fat>fatted equality with
the other states7
You cannot make Malay fit for
American citizenship in ten thou
sand years, for It is written you
cannot make a silk purse out OF a
sow's car. Fitness for American
citizenship is largely a matter Of
breed.
Speaking tor myself alone, l
would not give the life Of one
healthy, brave, ambitious, moral,
intelligent white boy in exchange
for all the Filipinos in the archi-
pelago or that may be found there
until the crack Of DOOM"

COAL SOARING IN EUROPE.
Not Enough ships To Be Had To Carry
1t over From This Side.

New York, September THE price Of
coal is soaring in Europe and not enough
ships can be had on this side Of the
ocean to carry cheap coal to supply the
demand. This is adding considerably to
the operating expenses of the big steam
ship companies as the swift liners burn
from 400 to $50 tons of coal daily Coal
is worth from $3.50 to So a ton more in
Europe than here. AS a result the lin
ers ere carrying on the outward voyage
enough coal to take them over ana part
way back.
The report from Paris that the big
companies would reduce the number of
voyages for that reason, was ridiculed to-
day by all the companies having Offices in
this city. Not one would admit that the
increased cost was enough to make a
change in schedules. The sentiments on
this point was unanimous.
The agents said:
''If the price OF coal becomes too great
a burden we can carry enough from TINS
side to make the round trip. We carry
almost enough now, ana only take sut1i.
clent high priced coal to supply the act
ual deficiency for the westward voyage. y

AT BAR HARB0R.
How the Omcers of the Two Fleets
Were Entertained Yesterday.

Bar Harbor, September 7.-Vice Ad-
miraI Bedford, Lady Bedford and their
daughter, left by an early train for Bos-
ton today, where the ladies are to take a
steamer for England. The Admiral will
return to his ship, the Crescent, on Satur-
day night in time to be present at the
luncheon which he viii give to the Off
GERS of the squadron and others on Sun
day. There is much disappointment on
shore this morning when it was learned
that there would be no battalion drill
at the Kebo Valley grounds as announced
yesterday. At least l, 600 visitors had ar
rived by boat and train 60 witness the
parade, and manoeuvres. One reason
assigned for the failure to land the br1-
gade was the fact that the marching of
1900 men on the golf links would spoil
them; the other was that the distance
was too great between the wharf and the
grounds. Officers from both the AmerI-
can and English ships have been playing
golf every day since their arrival.
Mrs. HJOy entertained Rear Admiral
Farquh9r and many of the officers at
luncheon at her cottage today. Mrs.

MAINLY FAVORABLE.
Trade Developments of the Encourag-
Ing Character.

New York, September 7.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Trade developments this week have
been mainly favorable, and the improve
ment In general d1stributi7e business
noted in the latter part OF August has
gathered force in the first week of Sap
tember. Leading features have been the
widening fall trade reported at nearly
all points, west, south and on the Pa
cific coast, some improvement in the job
bing demand at the east, with Southern
buying a marked feature; rather better
reports from the two.great staple crops
of the west and south, corn and cotton;
improved export demand for American
products, notably wheat, iron and steel
and cotton, a growth in cheerTulness,
albeit with some irregularity in prices
of iron and steel and unvaryingIy good
returns by the transportation Interests
OF the country.
tt is a question whether the admittedly
backward demand for some lines of goods
has not been due to a prolongatiOn Of the
vacation season, and certainly the expec-
tatlon is that further improvement is
still probable when the business inter-
ests are again actively engaged. The
corner appears to have been turned in
bank clearings because the aggregate for
the first week OF September, though,
broken by holidays is larger than the
total for the preceding week. The indus
trial outlook has been improved by set
Element of the tin plate scale, the gene
raj resumption Of operations in the glass
industry, the predicted settlement salts

New England cotton mill industry.

PORTUGUESE MAY HELP ENGLISH

New York, September 7.-The news
telegraphed from Lisbon that q military
expedition a thousand strong, is about
to leave the Tague for LourenzO Mar
oues has caused much speculation as to
the Portuguese position IN South Africa,
says the uiripune's London correspondent.
Many connect the Portuguese re1nforce-
ments with an intention to refuse the
Boer fugutives an asylum In Mozam bique
and the determination OF the Lisbon gov
ernment no longer to permit the Dutch
forces to draw supplies from Delagoa
Bay.
The English government is extremely
anxious that Kruger shall not slip
through their fingers, and Portugal
would certainly be doing the British a
very good turn If she denied the old man
asylum and so compelled him to surren-
der to Lord Roberts.

Plenty Of Aid in Sight
for Miners.
Think They Can Settle Matter
in 30 Days.

indianapolis, Ind, September -7.-Un
der the constitution OF the United Mine
Workers OF America, the executive board
must decide before seven o'clock tomor-
row night upon the application of the
districts embraced in the anthracite
region for permission to strike.
Indications tonight are that before the
time limit has expired messages will
have been sent to the presidents of the
three districts in question announcing
that the permission has been granted.
Following these messages viii be others
ordering the men out of the mines.
The question of ordering the strike was
not submitted to vote at the meeting
OF the executive board which was in ses-
sion mere all day.
Expressions were heard rom the mem
bers of the board as TO the advisab1lity OF
ordering a strike and, after a day spent
in discussing the situation and hearing
the views of the board members. Prest
dent Mitchell said tonight:
Il said sOms time ago that in my Opin-
ion there would be big strike. After
talking with my colleagues all day,
have no reason to change my opinion"
This assertion is considered very sig
nificant at this time and is take as an
assurance that unless conditions change
very materially before tomorrow night
the big anthracite strike will be q ques-
tlon Of but few hours.
II all the 143, 900 men go out it is
argued by mine workers officials that he
strike can be won in 30 days There Is,
it is said, plenty OF aid in sight to mai u
tain the strikers ana their families The
organizers and officials OF the bituminous
districts nave been called here and all
report favorably on the ability to pre-
vent diversion OF coal. 1t requires a ma
jority vote of the board to grant permis-
sion to strike. No vote has been taken.
