The Fi,ipfnos in revolt against American
authority are active again. and we may
expect to hear from them now and then
for some weeks to come. 1t is probably
according to signal. Mr.. Bryan's campaign,
as they have been led to believe, is for their
benefit and they have their part to play
The campaign is opening here. and there
are good reasons why it should also open
there On the eve therefore, of the firing
of the first gun loaded with anti-imperial-
ism by Mr.. Bryan at Indianapolis we have
the firing of guns loaded with powder and
ball by Tagal bandits near Manila and the
killing of several American soldiers and the
capture of others. Thus we see both fac
tons of the anti-imperialist party working
together against the common enemy.
The killing of men wearing the uniform of
Uncle Sam and marching under the stars
and stripes is a new. and, ii must be ad-
mitted. a revolving, feature of campaign
contribution, but it must also be admitted
that it accords with the whole anti-impe-
rialist propaganda 1t is ccntended that the
governments purpose is conquest. and is In
violation of every principle of right and
justice. We are seeking to enslave people
who are as much entitled to be free as we
ourselves are. If this is true, why then our
soldiers are no more than bloody invaders.
There IS nothing sacred about either their
flag or their uniform. Those who are
made to bite the dust get only what they
richly deserve.
And. according to the Bryanite plan and
purpose now is the time for the Tagals to
bsstir themselves. The supporters of the
administration insist that the revolt in the
Philippines is practically over that only
scattered bands now in arms. and that
they have plumber more in mind than pa
triotism. The people as a whole would he
CAD of peace. and have objection to
American authority This must be combat
ted if Mr.. Bryan Is to hope to win his fight
The Tagals must pick their tiints and try
again They must raise the cry of liberty
or death in fresh chorus. and show by their
performances that they are unreconciled
and unreconcilable 10 the authority which
the United States is seeking to establish
in the archipelago.

MIR. Schurx md Sound Money,

Carl SchurZ has not yet pronounced
for Mr.. Bryan. but there is widespread ex-
pectation that he will, and the Bryanites
| are taking much comfort therefrom. They
consider it of very great moment that this
man, who for a quarter of a century has
held so stoutly to the gold side of the money
question. should incline now to Mr.. Bryan,
an extreme silver man, representing the
party of silver as against Mr.. Mckinley
and the party of sound money. They as
cribe the change to the issue of imperial
ism, and point to it as illustrating the force
of that issue.
If Mr.. SchurZ does go over to Mr.. Bryan
the change will be in a way notable, but
rather as illustrating weakening on his
part on the issue of sound money In 1876
Mr.. SchurZ. fresh from the Greeley camp,
supported Mr.. Hayes as against Mr.. TilGen.
Reform had been the Greeley cry at the end
of General Grants first administration. and
Mr.. Schurz had echoed it. Reform was
now again the cry at the end of General
| Grants second administration, bu; Mr..
Schurz refused to echo it. Nearly all cf
the men who had stood with him In the
Greeley campaign We're now supporting Mr..
Tilden. while nearly all of the friends of
General Grant We're now supporting Mr..
| fortunes with the republican candidate.
He did SO almost wholly because OF the
money issue. He regarded Mr.. Hayes and
his party as '.sounder on the goose than
the opposition. Mr.. Tilden, 1t is true was
himself sound on the money question as
Mr.. Schurz But the democratic rarty in
the south and in the middle states had gone
over largely to the fiat money ;rine, and
this part of Mr.. Tilden's support was very
Objectionable to Mr. SchurZ. The debate on
the money plank of the St Louis platform
upon which Mr. Tilden was standing had
shown how aggressive the fiat money men
were. Mr.. Voorhees, had led it for them
and although he had lost the fight in the
committee and in the convention he had
yet very clearly demonstrated just where he
and his friends We're to be found.
Mr.. Schurz believed in reform. but the
spOok of the Man on Horseback which as
a Greeleyite he had helped carry so high
and shake SO warningly at the people. no
longer commanded his attention. He saw u
real danger ahead and he prepared himself
accordingly. He threw in his lot with the
party of sound money. and took the stump
for Hayes and Wheeler. He was one of the
stars of the campaign, and was rewarded
for his services by seat at the cabinet
table OF the man he had helped elect Presi-
dent And as a member of that cabinet he
supported his colleague, Mr. Sherman, in
the latter's fight for the resumption of spe-
Gle payments.
The fiat money party is now the party of
free silver, and Is led, not by man op-
posed to its principles as Mr. Ttlden was
but by one who indorses them to the ut
most. and If elected President will use all
the powers of his office to forward the free
silver cause. In the face of this menace to
the public credit, which Mr.. SchurZ has bat
tied so long to help uphold, will he 90 over
TO the enemy in this campaign under the
influence of so absurd a cry as Imperialism /?

Militarisun.

Some enterpristng statisticians are en-
deavoring to show that the American war
budget is mounting up to rival those of the
European states. In order to do this 1t is
necessary for them to rake together all the
extraordinary expenditures incidental to
the war with Spain, the rehabilitation OF
Cuba and the pacifcation of the Philippine
Islands, items which are not likely to occur
again. Nor are these items permanently
large They are already dwindlng, and will
continues to do so, unless the Chinese trou-
bic assumes such proportions as to call for
large American military contingent
These expenses are all the natural OUTLAWS
of self-rehant. self-respecting progressive
nation. They are not to be entirely avoided,

As The Star has heretofore surmised. the
excitement in Alaska over the delimitation
of the international boundary under last
years modus vivendi has been caused by
an original misunderstanding In the popu-
lar mind of certain geographical terms.
Mr.. Titman. the United States boundary
commissioner, appointed to act with a
Canadian geOgrapher TO establish the
boundary monuments in accordance with
the mOdus. has reached this country and
explained the situation. There is a very
loose understanding as to the limits of
what is generally known as the "Porcupine
district" a rich mining area largely set
tied by Americans. As in all new COun-
tries. conflicting names are often given to
near-lying territories each camp having
Its own system OF nomenclature. II re-
Guires many seasons to secure a uniform
understanding of bounds and areas. such
results usually waiting upon the establish
ment of railroad lines, with their definitely
named stations. In general terms prior to
the drafting of the modus vivendi the I'M
Outstanding here was that the Porcupine
district comprised the valley of Porcupine
creek itself. In the absence of more exact
information 1t was deemed safe to run the
provisional line in the klukwan range so
as TO include this valley. The American
miners there now claim that the district Is
more extensive than the Porcupine creek
valley itself. that it includes certain creeks
and rivers which are not tributary to the
Porcupine, but to the Llaheela, into which
the POrcupine flows. In any event the
line was precisely delimited in the modus
vfvendi. and did no, depend upon the work
OF the commissioners now returning from
their task So tina; If there was mistake
II was made here and not In Alaska. 1t Is
difficult. however. 70 accept the cas- as in
volving mistake long as the principle
Of compromise line is tenabIe For in
any event the line would have had TO run
through more or less settled regions a very
large part of the area around the Lynn
canal having been closely prospected and
worked In the light Of Mr.. Titman's ex-
plantation II would seem that the trouble
arises from the POrcupine district miners
refusing To recognize the necessity for some
form Of exact limitation pending final set
uement and from their radical intcrpreta-
ton of a loose geographical term. Their
practical rights seem all 70 have been con-
served by the clause IN the nodus vivendi

A Protest.

Remember, said the oracuIar person. -
that one swallow does not make a sum-
mer'
There's another Of those fool proverbs, -
exclaimed Mr. Sirius Barker Il have heard
that over and over again, always spoken in
highly controversial tone. And vet in all
my life l have never met a single person
who was prepared to dispute the point, or to
offer any suggestions as to how many swal
lows 1t does take to make a summer or 10
betray the slightest interest in any con-
nection, real or imaginary, which may exist
between swallows and the four seasons.
The amount Of talking people will do
over some such trifiing proposition Is
one of the chief factors in making this
world very tiresome place"

A Good Rule for Street Cars,
From the Providence Journal.

One of the street car companies In New
Haven has adopted a rule forbidding pas
sengers to stand on the running boards OF
cars or between the seats. If car is SO
full that 1t contains no empty seats. the
newcomer must wait till another comes
along or else crowd in at the rear of the
car where the space is too small to accom-
modate more than half a dozen persons
The rule Is excellent, provided the COM
pany will run enough cars to carry all who
wish to ride. Nobody enjoys standing on a
running board when a car is in motion or
crowdins In between seats in front Of a
row of obviously annoyed passengers; but
even this is better than being subjected to
a long delay on street corner.

one Of the most certain effects of the

But does the special provision of the

TO the ilnterate whites? They have already
been politically demcralized by having had

A Question Worth Considering.

| From The New York Tribune.
All the talk about Great Britain being
the creditor nation of the world and The
United States a debtor nation''-where-
fore Mr.. Bryan used to tell us. we should
cut our dollar into halves and so spoil
the Egyptians'-must now be revised. For
here is Great Britain actually placing a
war loan in the United States, and thus
borrowing money of us, and making her
self a debtor nation and this a creditor
nation. Would that have come to pass
had we clipped the dollar and degraded our
currency?
