A JOYOUS NIGHT.
Manager Phillips Gives Public
School Teachers Grand Ban
quet and Splendid Ride.

Last night the teachers of the public
schools of this city were treated to one
of the most enjoyable occasions, through
The courtesy of MIR. w. S Phillips, which
it has ever been their pleasure to enjoy
as body.
Dainty invitations were sent out over
week ago asking them to be guests OF
Manager Phillips, in the celebration Of
the fifth anniversary of his assuu ption
OF the management OF the Book Cliff
railway and mines. On the invitations
there was line which ted expressly
that the ladies should bring their wraps
and appetites with tLem
1t was foregone conclusion that those
who were fortunate enough to receive
Manager Phillips invitations would ac-
cept, as he has most excellent reputa-
ton as host, and therefore there were
few responses which said they would be
unable to be with Manager Phillips upon
the anniversary occasion.
A special train carried the folks to
Book Cliff, and there in the dining room
of the mines WIS spread one OF the most
bountiful suppers which even the mind
OF an epicure might wish for. Due trib-
ute was paid to the bounteous repast by
well-whetted appetites, after which
games and social conversation occupied
the time until retu ming.
Beside the teachers present there were
several gentlemen and ladies', warm per
sonal friends of Mr.. Phillips. Coming
home on the train the guests voted tn
occasion most enjoyable, and a hearty
vote Of thanks was given Manager Phil
lips for his courtesy and kindness.

Looks Like Landslide in New York

New York, Nov. National Commit
teeman Norman e Mack brought ex-
ceedingly encouraging news from the
interior OF the state to national and state
headquarters today. Mr.. Mack said
THE situation up the state is very
gratifying. Erie county went 1900
against Mr.. Bryan in 1899, bat it was
carried by our party ip1897 and again in
1893 by over 1900 majority, and l have
every reason to believe that it will go
democratic this year.
Mr. Rooserelt's tour has had the
very opposite effect to making republican
gains up our way. He has merely con-
tirmed III many respects the Importance
Of voters rallying to the support OF the
principles as represented by Mr.. Bryan.

back their beloved Liliuokalani.
According to Republican authon-
ties "Lili" is not beauty, and was
by no means a respectable sover-
elgn; but to the Hawaiians she is a
divinity to whom they owe their
allegiance and devotion. Much as
we may sneer at this sentiment,
people far more cultivated than the
Hawaiians have poured out tor
rents of blood IN maintaining IL.
But annexation is an accom-
plished fact, and what remains is
to make the most OF it. In their
disgust and disappointment over
the election the whites in Hawaii
Republicans and Democrats
suggest further limitations Of the
suffrage so as to exclude the Row
alist enemies OF their government
from any share in the administra-
fion of territorial affairs. 1t is
quite likely that a bill to this effect
will be introduced in Congress,
but the remedy would be worse
than the evil. Besides entangling
and embitterIng the natives still
more, its tendency would be to re-
store the little oligarchy ot whites,
between whom and the Hawaiians
there is strong hostility.

Was Mckinley EndOrsec2

Senator Lodge says that "if ever
the policy Of an Administration
was endorsed by the people the
course Of this Administration in
the Philippines has been en-
dorsed." During the campaign
the Senator and most of his asso.
ciates insisted on the stump that
the issue was not Mr.. McKinley's
policy in the Philippines, but Mr..
Bryan's policy on silver. Has the
real issue OF the campaign so soon
been forgotten1 Four years ago
the campaign was conducted on
the silver issue; but hardly had
the election returns been counted
when the Republicans proclaimed
that the main issue was the tariff,
and as soon as President McKin.
ley had been inaugurated an extra
session Of Congress was convened
to enact the existing Outrageous
tariff measure. The pretense that
the outcome OF the late election
was an endorsement OF the Philip
pine and Porto Rican policy i.
quite as gross a pervsrsion OF cur
rent political history; but the pre-,
tense will be used for all is worth

Planning Ruin OF Beers

A correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gasetts, writing from Johan-
nesbUrg, makes a suggestion
which deserves the attention Of I'm
perialists. His proposal is to form
a company to acquire the farms
from which the Beers in the
Oranpe Free State and the Trans
Vaal Republic have been driven
and dispose of them to English
buyers. The terms, it is claimed,
could be so fixed that "the com
pany would have no risk" while
the price paid would be a mere
trifle. This ingenious expansion
ist reasons as follows:
There will be hundreds Of farms
in the Orange River Colony and
the Transvaal that will have to 60
into the market W hen peace is pro-
claimed. Prisoners Of war on their
return will find, in nine cases out
Of ten, that their homesteads have
been burned down, and scarcely
head Of stock Left in the country,
and as they will be unable-even
if they had the means--to pur-
chase a head Of cattle, by reason
that there are none, their only
method of raising money for bare
subsistence, to say nothing Of pay.
ment Of interest on their bonds
for nearly every property in this
country is mortgaged-will be the
sale Of their farms; unless, indeed.
the demon OF Cancellation enters
into the soul OF the English Gov
ernmeut aud drives them to tax
the Briton to provide means for
setting the Boer on his legs again"
II would appear from this that
the British forces have been en-
gagged in burning the homes Of the
BoeT prisoners whom they hold in
Ceylon and ST. Helena, and who
will be too destitute when released
to be able to recover their prop
erty. The scheme is apparently
quite feasible, for current events
in various parts OF the world indi-
cate that the "demon OF concilia-
tion" has been thoroughly exor-
cised. In fact, the proposals oi
the European powers IN China are
quite akin to this plan, and can be
carried out perhaps with greater
ease. Dead Cinnamon will make
less trouble than living Beers, in
spite oil their captivity, and the
protests Of the survivors would re.
ceive Ii tie consideration when the
cause of empire is involved.
Washington sentinel., 1900-12-08
No Chinese Territory.

Well informed Washington Off.
cials are satisfied that China is not
able to pay more than S2oo, ,ooo,-
900, while the powers propose to
demand twice and probably thrice
that sum. For security they pro-
pose to exact territorial pledges,
or a joint guarantee Of Chinese
bonds by the powers.
Either one OF these means paTti-
ton. A territorial pledge for a
debt which China can never pay
obviously cannot mean anything
else. This is so plain that agree
ment as to the apportionment Of
the pledge among the powers will
be a matter OF extreme difficulty.
Officials in Washington point
out that the guarantee plan must
come to the same thing. The
bondholdeTs would have to rely
on the guarantors, and the latter
would see no way to fulfil their
guarantees except by seizing ter
ritory. And the moment one
power should make move in this
direction the general scramble
would begin and the dismemoer-
ment of the empire would be
speedy-possibly without bloody
war involving all the powers.
1t is reported that the Admins
Cration will not have anything to
do with either Of these schemes.
IL will not commit the country to
a seizure Of Chinese territory bv
taking territorial guarantee for
a debt which China cannot pay or
by joining in a guarantee OF bonds
which can never be collected other
wise than by seizinP territory-nor
even in that way.
The Administration will do
wisely not to commit itself to any
such scheme, but rather to insist
upon keeping the demands on
China within reason, and withdraw
from the concert in the event OF
failure.
This undoubtedly would mean
withdra wal, for the evidence is ac-
cumulating which goes to show
that the powers are bent on parti-
tion and have been shaping their
course to that end all along.
1t will be to our credit to with.
draw from a concert which is only
a deliberately planned concert Of
rapacity. II will be to our credi',
remembering that provocation
does not justify atrocious cruelty.
to insist only on the punishment
Of the great instigators of crime
against innocent Americans. and
take no part in the consummation
Of the crime OF national destru;-
ton which is the imminent out

s.-That the original tax Of 81
when beer was selling at sra a

some as the present one Of s. when
beer is not bringing on an average
more than IS a barrel.
6.-That other callings as well II

imposition possible, and which
formed the only excuse for levYing

8-That it has been continued be-
yond the needs Of the Government,
as an OVERLOOKING Treasury proves,
and should be repealed.
There are many other reasons
which could be cited to prove that
it is a tax "burdensome upon in
dustrY" within the scope Of the
Presidents suggestion and as such
entitled to remission in full, The
few above named should suffice.
They were sufficient to induce the
President to invite the attention OF
Congress to their importance.
They were sufficient to arouse him
to the necessity OF sounding a
warning against further harassing
a business which has twice sue
cored the Government in its hour
OF need-which has twice fur
nished the means to carry it sue
cessfully through two wars.
The President could have asked
Congress directly to repeal the
beer tax. He did not chose to do
so. He could not have indicated
his wishes more clearly in an indi'
rect manner for beer tax repeal
than when he suggested in his
message that reduction should be
secured by the remission of those
taxes which experience has shown
to be the most burdensome to the
industries OF the people"

They say that since civilized nations
made it so hot for the Barbary pirates
the Rffians have not been able to
venture, as they formerly did, miles out
to sea in search Of commerce to destroy
and plunder. They now attack only
those vessels that venture very near
their coast. Two years ago they at.
tempted to catch the English racing
yacht Aelsa, which only escaped through
a lucky wind. Many months sometimes
elapse before they have a chance TO
make a good piratical haul, the result is
that they have become good agricultur-
lists as we'll as able pirates. Their valleys
are very fertile. are covered with we'll
titled gardens. and are almost denselY
populated. This is an aspect OF the
RitfiIans that surprises everybody.
They are, in fact, better farmers than
most OF the Sultan's more loyal subjects.

PROSPECTS OF FURTHER BEER
TAX REDUCTION

The Committee on Ways and
Means have reported bill which
provides tor a reduction OF the
beer tax to $3.50 a barrel. The
present tax is So, which IN per
cent rebate reduces to SI.8s. That
rebate is now increased to 20 per
cent, so that the reduction will be
about $4,000, 900. This is a be-
ginning, but only a beginning.
Increasing the rebate from ~ to
40 per cent is not repeating the
double tax, even though the re
duction amounts to $4,000, 900 or
So, ,oooo, 900. There yet remains
nearly Sa5, 900 900 Of superhuous,
most burdensome and entirely un-
Just taxes. The concession will
merely staVe off a crash for short
while, it will not fully avert it.
Until that end is reached the fight
should go on. The House and Sem
ate mu st yet pass upon the measure
OF justice granted the brewers, and
we are still OF the opinion that
good stiff fight in Congress will
yield greater relief.
This result was not reached
without struggle. Objection had
been Irade to any concessions to
brewers on the ground that reduc-
tion would help brewers only and
not consumers. Il was also con-
tended that 80 per cent OF the
brewing business was in the hands
OF foreigners. Chairman Payne
was said to have prepared figures
to prove these assertions, with the
object OF putting the friends Of re-
duction in the attitude OF serving
English interests.
The presence Of Mr.. Babcock,
OF Wisconsin, on the committee,
to which he had been appointed,
as outlined by the SENTINEL last
week, to fill the vacancy occa.
stoned by Mr.. Dolliver's transfer
to the Senate, had undoubtedly a
good effect and contributed to the
modicum ot relief granted. Mr..
Babcock comes from a large brew
ing centre and had fully been
posted as to the needs OF the brew
ers, besides being we'll aware oi
the many promises made them and
the necessity of fulfilling them.
The SENTINEL said last week
that a change had taken place ir
favor of the brewers. While oui
expectations have not been lullS
realized, we are not yet withou
hope that a greater measure Of re
lief will come when the bill comes
up in Congress. Freed from party
dictation, = ere is a majority o
Congress in favor OF complete re
peal. This concession show
what can be gained by fighting 70
your rights. The fight now be
gun will be carried on. Brewer
know that the rate fixed now will
stand for years, perhaps iorever
Hence they are going to fPht il
Congress. where their chances ar
better even than in committee.
We congratulate the Board c
Trustees oi the United State
Brewers Association and thos
whom they represent.
We indulge the hope also tina
the SENTINEL will share in tn
jubilation. 1t has done its part.
