District Judge Morris M. Estee,
of Hawaii, has decided that cession
of Guam and the Philippines by
Spain to this country made those
islands a portion of the United
States, and in consequence made
the natives of them citizens of the
United States, free Of the need Of
becoming naturalized.
All honor to Estee for bravely
closing his eyes to every considera-
ton except the Constitution and
laws he has sworn to defend. He
has dropped a bombshell into the
Republican camp, which spreads
CONSERVATION and terror around.
The effect of his decision is that
we must either withdraw our claim
Of sovereignty over the Philippine
Islands, or give up our Chinese ex-
clusion policy. 1t cannot be serious
ly questioned that the decision Of
Judge Estee is sound law, and that
it is correct in saying that if we
hold the Philippines it is at the
cost Of giving citizenship and the
right to come to the United States
to the millions Of Chinese now in
those islands.

MONEY VERSUS MORALITY.

The announcement was recently
made in a San Francisco paper that
the total disbursements of the Gov
ernment in San Francisco since the
beginning of the war with Spain
reached 100000. The money
was expended through the Army
and Navy Departments for purposes
growing out of our brief fight with
Spain and, what is vastly more ex-
pensive, the undeclared, unconstitu-
tional, unjust war Of conquest and
subjugation in the Philippine ISL
ands begun, and carried on for
nearly two years, with every prob
ability to-day that it will continue
as long as Messrs. Hanna, Nc
Kinley & Co., retain their power.
In the estimation of many people
the fact that war necessities have
thus broaght over seventy million
dollars into San EraneiscQ-.that
would not have been disbursed
there in time Of peace is a valid
reason why the present administra-
ton shonld be perpetuated and this
war policy continued indefinitely
including, of course, the enormous
war taxes. A few days ago the San
Francisco Chronicle contained an
editorial eongratulating the busi-
ness men of that city on the finan-
ciai benefits growing out of the
war conditions, and gleefully pre-
dieting a continuance of such "pros-
perity." Not a word appeared re-
garding the dark side of war, or
the decentralization, suffering, loss
of life, and other evils involved
therein. The almighty dollar was
evidently uppermost in the mind
| of the writer, so that the morality
of the question cut no figure. He
must haye had, when writing the
article, a pen dipped in ice water,
and heart as cold as a dogs nose.

In a carefully prepared interview

In carefully prepared interview
published in the Chicago Tribune
of the 25th, Archbishop Ireland
saws that reversal of President
McKinley's policy at the next elec-
tion "will be interpreted by foreign
nations as an indication of un-
settled conditions in our own coun-
try and of changeableness OF po-
litical and commercial opinions and
methods, and wonld result in low
ering as immensely in the estima-
ton in which we are now held by
foreign countries. !"
Whence did Archbishop Ireland
learn that the people of this repub-
lican country wish so to formulate
American policies and so to cast
their votes in presidential elections
as to win the esteem Of the
monarchical countries Of Europe,
If the distinguished archbishop's
impression is correct, the sooner

EDUCATIONAL.
NOMINAL SCHOOL Superintendent!

Nominal superintendent are al
ways and altogether misfortune.
When they confine themselves to
the business aspects Of their posi-
tion the evil is that the community
supposes the schools are supervised
while they are not, and therefore
does not feel the necessity of pro-
viding a competent official. Some
times the principal of the high
school is able to assume and dis
charge in some measure the profess
sional duties Of supervision. To
do this with a nominal superinten-
dent in the field is a delicate and
difficult matter, and the difficulty
is wholly unnecessary. However,
under such circumstances the evil
of the nominal superintendent is at
minimum. 1t rises to maximum
when such an official attempts the
professional duties, or uses his
Office to subserve personal or politi-
cal ends. 1t would be easy to null
tiply instances where this has been
done. School men know them by
the scores, and are always looking
for an outbreak of this pernicious
activity. There is only one sensi-
BILE course to follow-to do away
with the nominal superintendent.
He ought to disappear from the
school system. Any superintendent
] who receives two or three hundred
| dollars as a salary is a nominal
! superintendent. He is not an edu-
Gator, he but adds his salary to that
| which comes from his legitimate
| business, and neither in training,
: knowledge or experience is he fitted
!. for the Office he assumes to Occu-
4 nv-Er.

Whst Constitutes 4 Business Man

81 remember, III 1870, your NJ
publican State convention adopted
a platform something like this:
I've demand that this government
shall be conducted by the business
men on business principles, and IN
the interest of the business interests
of the country or words to that
effect. But the trouble is that the
men who talk that way so limit
the definition of business man
that very few are included. is
the farmer a business man? Weu,
| think not. He does work. That
is all he does. He commences IN
the morning au,d works all day /;
commences in tn spring and works
all summer, and il at the end OF
summer he is able to show enough
as the result of his labor to realize
a small percentage oh the invest
ment he thinks he is doing well.
But he is no business man. Who
isl The man who goes to sthe
Board of Trade at 10 O'Clock an
the morning and makes More before
noon, betting on the price of wheat
the farmer raises, than the farmer
can make raising it. Is the laborlng
man a business mani No. He
only converts raw material into
finished product. But he is not
q business man. Who isl The
man uho trades in what the pro-
ducer produces. I believe that
every man who, by his muscle or
HE brain. Odds to tleg greatness che
wealth or glory Of this nation, is q
business man.
"The Republican party goes on
the theory that society is built from
the top. They say take care OF the
well-to-do and they will take care
of those who are not wellto-do,
and when you tell them the story
of Lazarus and Dives they say:
what lucky man Lazarus was to
have a Dives near so that he could
get the crumbs that fell from Dives
table,
ga man in your State in 1896
said that the prosperity OF the
laboring man and the farmer de-
pended upon the business man. He
got it just reversed. The prosperity
of the business man depends upon
the prosperity of the farmer and
the laboring man, for until wealth
is produced there is no wealth tt
exchange. And yet the Republi
cans, if they built a house as they
built society, would build the roo1
first and then hang the house or
the roof. They 60 on the theory
that a man who has place to work
|ought to be under some obligation
to his employer. No man employs
another unless thesnan employed car
make enough to pay his own wages
and a profit besides to the man wht
employs him. And yet when election
day comes the employer sometimes
thinks that the man who works fol
him sells his citizenship wher
he sells his labor. And often th'
employer tries to coerce the laborint
man. If tits right for an employer Il

| insist the law should be changed
so as to give every employer al
many votes as he has employees. ,

SURPLUS REVENUES.
1t is gratifying to be able to state that the
surplus revenues for the fiscal year ended
June 30. 1900. were SO, ,527, ,O6O1 1S For the
six preceding years we had only deficits,
the aggregate of which from 1894 to 1889,
inclusive. amounted to $2S3, or 991.14. The
receipts for the year from all sources, ex-
elusive OF postal revenues aggregated $751;
240. l.S9, and expenditures for all purposes.
except for the administration Of the postal
department. aggregated $4S7. 49, ,791.71. The
receipts from customs were $X,3, 164, ,S71 16,
an increase over the preceding year OF ST.
O36, Al. The receipts from Internal rev.
enue were sos, ,327 y26. 49, an increase of 81,
800, 5.25 over 1899. The receipts from mis-
cellaneous sources were $3S.T4S,0 S,05397, as
against $36, ,s94, .92 for the previous year.
It Is gratifying also to note that during
the year considerable reduction is shown
in the expenditures Of the Government. The
War Department expenditures for the fiscal
year 1900 were $lS4. .774. .767.7S, a reduction
of sos. .066. .4S6.69 over those of 1882 In the
Navy Department the expenditures were
$55,953.O7172 for tie year 1900, as against
$63, ,942, ,1O4.25 for the preceding year, q de-
crease Of 81, 7,089, ,02653. In the expenditures
on account of Indians there was decrease
In 1900 over 1890 OF 81, $50 6O4.3S; and In the
there was a reduction Of s13. 41S,06574.
Because of the excess Of revenues over
expenditures the Secretary Of the Treasury
was enabled to apply bonds and other Sc
curities to the sinking fund to the amount
