The call for more troops comes from
the Philippines, where the rebellion
against the outrage and oppression of
the Mckinley administration will not
cease. And in view of the seven years.
war that was necessary before the in
dependence of the American Colonies
could be established, is it not reason
able to expect that the patriotic people
OF the Philippines will make an equally
stubborn resistance? They are fighting,
as did our foiefathers, for independence
and the right Of self-government. And
before the mailed hand of the United
States was directed against them, when
they had every reason to expect that
we would DO their frierd and ally, the
people Of the Philippines had been
fighting for independence and against
the cruel rule of Spain for over three
hundred years. No, it is not SURPRISING
that the war still goes on. It is but
reasonable to expect that it will con.
tinue until Independence is secured.

rhe wheat rarmer and the rarIr.

Mr.. William J. Bryan is as optimistio
as ever, and on Saturday gave ort
most cheerful account Of his recent
missionary labors in the States of
Oregon and Washington. Of course he
expects to carry both, particularly
Washington, which gave him support
aud encouragement in the election Of
1885, How his predictions will ma.
terialize remains to be seen.
But one remark made by Mr.. Bryan
in this interview, with respect to the
feelings Of tho wheat farmers of Wash.
ington, will be recognized as practically
describing an existing situation: He
said: et
The wheat farmers in the south.
eastern portion of the State are now
selling their grain for less than they
received in 1899, 1898, 1897 or 1896,
but they have to pay tariff Oh grain
sacks and binding twine, and are the
victims of innuinerable trusts when
they 60 to spend the proceeds of their
CROPS. Wage workers find their ex-
renses increasing.
1t will not prove at all surprising If
the farmers, not only of the State Of
Washington hut of the entire country,
rise in opposition to the exactions of
the Dingley tariff. To them 1t brings
no protection. On the contrary, it
Expresses them by heavy duty on
grain sacks and binding Irvine, and
does nothing to obtain higher prices
for their grain. The fact that they
have to sell their products in the com.
petition of the open market is all
right. and cannot be claimed as an in
Justice. Fair and open competition is
not hurtful to business Of any kind.
But when the farmers find themselves
handicapped by tariff that very ma
terially increases the cost of necessary
articles like grain sacks, binding Irvine
and agricultural implements, they suffer
seriously when it comes to disposing Of
their crops in the open market,
1t is. therefore, apparent, that the
agitation for lower tariff will not down.
The Dinglev bill has increased the
agitation, not allayed it, 1t has with
truth and force been declared that
1.-THE tariff question will never be
settled until it is settled right. +" II
was once "settled right" by the en-
actment of the Walker tariff of 1876
a purely revenue taritf-which raised
ample revenue for the expenses of the
government, including the expenses OF
the Mexican War, and bestowed special
favors unon no class of industries. Sc
satisfactory was the Walker tariff thai
the tariff question disappeared from
national politics in the four national
campaigns of 1913, 1852, 1856 and 1860,
and in all probability it would never
have reappeared had not the exigencie:
of the Civil War made it necessary te
impose high tariff, with the idea oil
raising more revenue. This revived
the activity of the protectionists, and
they continued their efforts until then
campaign eliminated in the Dinghy
tariff, which imposes rate of taxation
even higher than the Morrill, war tariff
OF 1862.
And SO the tariff battle will have tc
be fought over again. until it is
SETTLED right" by the exclusion OF al
protection and trust breeding feature:
and reduction to tho plane of revenue

In the recent State Convention of
the Addicks Republicans, the Sussex
Republican sees indications of the
waning strength of that odorous politi.
cal organization and hopes of its disso
luton. 1t now believes that the
ILLUMINATION of Addicks from Delaware
isonly a question of time. II is bound
to come sooner Or later and might as
well be now. The Republicans who are
opposed to him are 10 a position to en-
force their demands for his elimination,
ard 1t is needless to say that their
sturdy opposition in tho past is
sufficient proof that they mean what
they say. His cause is weakening, He
and his immediate henchmen are losing
their grip. True Republicanism is
asserting itself and it can not flourish
10 the same breast with Addicksism.
the latter is bound to give way before

The Senate committee OF investiea.
tion has unanimously declared Senator
Clark of Montana guilty Of bribery in
securing his election to the Senate,
and there is scarcely doubt that its
recommendation to declare his seat
vacant will be approved by the Senate.
This outcome of the Montana senatorial
controversy is apt to cause cold chills
to chase up and down the back of a
notorious senatorial aspirant in Della
ware. II indicates that an election
secured by the purchased votes of Far
lows, Clarks and Kings would stand a
good chance of being set aside by the
Senate. and tho money thereby in
vested converted into dead loss.

The question of allowances TO county
officers is fruitful object of investigaS
tion. The Levy Court could enter upon
such an Investigation with profit, but
it is doubtful If it will do 81. The rela-
tions between the members OF the Levy
Court and the beneficiaries OF the
allowances, it is understood, arc too
tenderly close and sympathetic to be
disturbed by tho annoyances of an in
sestigation. The question, therefore,
is likely to impress itself upon the next
Legislature, and committee of inves.
tigation from that body could doubtless
turn up some interesting, if not sensa-
tioual, developments.

ID is the swindling pension agents,
and not the veterans, says the New
York Times, who are responsible for
the pension frauds. These attorneys
are keen, active, skillful and expert
enced. They make large sums Of money
even on claims that are never got
through, and still larger ON those that
are successful. They are the organizers
Of the pension lobby, and are the pro.
motors of all the agitation among the
so.called veterans associations. And
the hopeless feature of the matter is
that their services are under the law
wholly needless for honest claimants,
whom the government Is ready to pay
without any solicitation from Others

The Railway Decision.

Chancellor Nicholson yesterday morn
ing handed down his opinion in the con-
test between the Wilmington City
Railway Go. and the Brandywinc
Springs Railway Co., relative to the
latter's claim to right to lay trucks
upon the streets OF Wilmington. The
full text OF the opinion is printed else
where in this issue.
The Chancellor decides that the Will
mington City Railway Go. had ex-
elusive rights in Wilmington until tho
Legislature, in effeot, revoked such
rights by granting q charter to the
Wilmington and Blandywine Springs
Railway Co., containing provision
that it might, under permission, eS-
tend its line into Wilmington.
That the Legislature had the right,
1nder the Constitution Of 1881, to re-
voko the exclusive rights of the Will
mineton City Railway Go.
That the Wilmington & Brandywine
Springs Railway Go. forfeited its rights
and privileges because 1t failed to
follow the language of its charter and
did not construct and operate its road
in accordance with its requirements
within the time limited.
And that the Wilmington City Rail
way Co. had standing in the court of
equity to raise these questions in a
bill for injunction to restrain tho Will
mington & Brandywiue Springs Rail-
way Go. from entering the city.
On these grounds the preliminary in
junction is granted.
