ALLEGED PRIVATE
CONCERN.

CONCERN.
The greater part of the session was
taken up in discussing and passing
resolutions resembling recent favorable
action taken in reference to bill II. r.,
$751; now before Congress, asking for an
appropriation of 5000 900 to aid the
Commercial Musuem CT Philadelphia
in carrying On its alleged comprehen-
sive work for the benefit of the Ameri-
can manufacturers and producers. 1t
was explained to the board by Harry
Emmons, attorney, and Lewis E.
Brooks, Of r. q. Dun's Commercial
Agency, that in reality the Com
mercial Musuem Of Philadelphia is a
private business concern in competition
with the business of trade journals and
the business of a mercantile agency.
PUBLIC MONEY FOR PRIVATE USE.
IL was asserted by Mr. Brooks that a
portion Of the money appropriated by
The public for maintaining the museum
had been used in establishing the mer-
camille agency branch Of the concern.
Mr.. Brooks further said that the rate
charged by the museum agency was
500 for fifty foreign reports, which is
almost double what the Dun Agency
charges
Another point brought out In the
discussion was that the museum agency
obtained its information regarding the
standing of foreign firms through the
United States consuls, and that in the
course of time this would tend to in
jure the standing of the United States
with other countries The members
present who expressed their views ON
this point were also of the opinion tina;
foreign countries would hardly look
with favor on a country that sent its
ccnsuls to report the financial standing
Of its merchants and institutions.
RESCINDS FORMER FAVORABLE
ACTION.
Without a dissenting vote the follow
ing resolutions We're passed by the
/ board:

meeting held February l.. 1900, did, al

Congress will appropriate one million

This Should End II.

The admirable statement made public
by Secretary Hay of the position of the
administration with reference to the
Boer war and the commissioners of the
South African republics should be the
end Of all agitation in this country of
an issue that rests principally on par
tisan intrigue. The administration has
gone to the extreme In its effort to nut
an end to this unhappy war and to use
Its kind offices in behalf Of the Boer
governments. Any possible criticism
OF its course must be inspired by un-
reason or malice.
From the time that hostillties began.
the first care of the United States row
eminent was to preserve that neutral
ity which both parties have right to
expect from us. There has never been
one instant Of wavering from this. In

one step in advance of obligation; II

This VAS our utmost. and We were war

The answers transmitted by the presi-
dent to the pettigrewsome resolutions
Of the senate relating to the Philippines
are exactly what they were expected to
be. The position of the government
and its naval and military representa-
tives has been from the first unassail-
able. If they had consented to estab-
lish the dictatorship of Aguinaldo,
trouble might have been avoided. but
on no other condition It is shown In
the correspondence that there never
was any desire for peace on the part Of
the Tagals or any negotiations in good
faith by them with that end in
view. They opened the war. and
they declared that 1t must go
on. No instructions were forwarded
from Washington that would interfere
at any time with free treatment Of
the Instruction. Full power was lodg-
ed in the hands of Gen. Otis; and when
ever the rebels had any desire to accept
proper terms they had only to mention
1t. OF course the statement that the
flag of the Filipino republic was salutej
by our fleet or any part of 1t is denied
most emphatically by Admiral Dewey
The admiral is not successful candi-
date for office. but he will not deviate
a hair's-breadth from the truth to in
jure an opponent or benefit a friend. IIe
thus disposes of lie which never hal
the slightest resemblance TO truth. but
which has found its way into the COL
umns of every anti-expansion newspaper
in the country. The proposing of these
senate resolutions was a waste Of time
and their passage a folly. But the re-
Spouse to them should cut down a whole
crop Of rank falsehoods that the ants
have been cultivating diligently.

A resolution was recently introduced
In the Methodist conference, now in
session at Chicago, forbidding applause
during the daily meetings. The dis
cussion Of the resolution was an earn
est one, so much so. in fact. that some
Of the arguments brought forth enthu-
siastic demonstrations. and the ap-
plause grew in volume so that even the
introducer Of the resolution had to Join
in the laughter which followed. The
resolution was killed, the prevailing
sentiment seeming to be that applause
is all right under most any circum-
stances. provided It is genuine.
