Ex-senator PETER has written a
book entitled "Americanism and the
Philippines" published by Crane &
Co., Of Topeka, treating mainly Of
the legal and constitutional aspects
Of the acquisition, and Of the present
and future government Of the archi-
pelago. In a concise but clear form
the precedents and the laws are
stated and the authorities cited. 1t
is strong defense Of the policy OF
expansion both from the logical and
legal standpoints and reiutes the
arguments Of the little Americans.
The weapons used for this purpose
are in the main cogent quotations
drawn from the armory Of state
archives, official documents, works
on international law, supreme court
decisions, treaties, presidents mes
sages and diplomatic correspondence,
the whole arranged in an interesting
and attractive form.

Last year P. P. Elder OF Ottawa had
the nerve to ask the Populists Of Kan,
sas to throw away their name and
come over to the Democratic party.
From the tone OF the resolutions
adopted by the Populist state central
committee, Mr.. Elders advice has
not created profound impression.
This is the cold blooded manner in
which the resolutions treat the Demo
Gratis:

manifested in the fast that in 1896 thu

to save itself from disruption saw fiji
to adopt in part our principles and tt

reform party Of Kansas, welcome tht

posal-but they will yell and contrib.

Blackburn's Two 0rations.

The New York Sun has the follow
ing remarks on two very dramatic in
cidents In the career Of Senator
Blackburn Of Kentucky and shows
the turn-table style Of the average
Democratic politicians mind:
By the irony OF fate and the exigen-
cies Of personal ambition, it became
the duty Of Hon. Joseph C. S. Black
burn to pronounce the funeral ora
ton at the coffin Of William Goebel.
And OF Goebel Senator Black burn
said:
"Build here over his grave a
mighty towering granite shaft that
shall defy the corroding touch Of
time. Inscribe upon it an epitaph
that shall be worthy Of the man. He
earned this at our hands. In life and
death he was consecrated to the peo-
ple's cause. He lived an honest
life. and gave his life for your deliv-
erance. OF him no eulogy but truth
may say: Earth never pillowed up.
on her bosom truer son, nor Heav-
en- opened wide her portals to receive
a manlier spirit"
At Covington on Sunday, April IA,
1895, little less than five years ago,
the eu'ogist of Goebel pronounced an.
other funeral grafton. That time he
stood by the coffin Of Col. John l..
Sanford, who like Goebel had been
shot down on the highway. And of
Sanford Senator Blackburn said:
"John Sanford was to me like a
brother. loved him. hope God
may spare me, and | shall make it
my life's mission to avenge him by
burying his slayer in the depths Of
merited public execration."
The slayer Of John Sanford was
William Goebel.
But William Goebel and his cleo
ton law accomplished the return last
month OF Mr.. Blackburn to the United
States senate.

While it seems hopeless task to
clear away the clouds Of Democratic
Misrepresentation, it may be asserted
that Porto Rico will be helped and
not hurt by the 25 per cent tariff
which it is proposed to place upon
her products. This will give her a
good income from her custom house
and will also give her Is per cent ad-
vantage over all the other countries
Of the world. That is, it frees her
citizens from internal taxation and
enables them to make a clear profit Of
Is per cent Of the Dingley duties over
and above the legitimate profit de.
rived by them in common with other
outside peoples.

The ports in Luzon are all being
reopened to the trade OF the world.
This will be Of great benefit to the
world but it will be especially advan-
tageous to the Filipinos. 1t will re-
duce the cost OF all the necessaries to
the islanders and thus add to their
personal comfort and to their regard
for American sway. In fact, this
will do more for American rule in the
islands than could be accomplished
by promises Of autonomy, or even Of
independence. Probably but few
Filipinos care about independence at
all. The more intelligent among
them, it is likely, are rather against
independence at the present stage, as
that would mean anarchy first and
despotism aiterward. The American
cause in the Philippines is undoubt.

The Fate of the Confederate Seal.

The result of the last Confederate
council of war held at Abbeville, S. c..
in May, 1865, was soon known all over
Abbeville, and the Generals and the
Secretary of War were kept busy for
hours signing honorable discharges for
the tired soldiers, who Immediately APP
piled for them" writes Mrs. Thaddeus
Horton, in the October Ladies' Home
Journal During the evening Mr..
Benjamin asked for a Ratchet. and
with it he defaced the Confederate
seal. About twelve o'clock the same
night the Confederate party continued
their retreat in the direction of Wash
ington. Georgia, and while crossing the
Savannah river in the darkness some
one suggested that the seal be thrown
overheard. The idea was at once APP
proved, and when the boat reached
mid-stream it was dropped with dull
splash into the sandy river bed of that
beautiful soutern water course, where
to this day, this mission fulfilled, it

illustrated by Jay Ham bridge. The
frontispiece, showing Governor Roose-
Welt and Senator Hanna in conference
at Republican National Headquarters
and the strikingly original portrait:
of Cleveland, Blaine, Quay, Croker
Bryan and others, lend especial inter
est to this paper on the tactics o
party managers in the Presidential
campaigns of the past twenty-five

30 NEW YORK, May THE stock market
during the forenoon was almost wholly de-
void of animation, and the increasing ac-
tivity which developed subsequently was
AT the expense of values. Notwithsta landing
the fact that London furnished 4 much
higher range OF prices for American stocks,
the market at the opening OF business was
for the most part heavy.
All of the steel industrials were notably
weak on the announcement of the shut
ting down Of part of the plants of the

Coal and Iron, and Colorado Fuel and Iron.
Sugar Refining. broke sharply at the same
time, without any particular news or gos-
sip attending its course.
The early changes in the railway list
were nominal, with the exception of Long
Island, which broke very sharply, proba-
bly, on the sales of belated buyers OF the
stock in connection with the Pennsylvania
purchase.
In the afternoon dealings pronounced
weakness developed in an unlookedfor
quarter, namely The Granger stocks, st.
Paul being the conspicuous feature of the
group in a drop of / 1-2 per cent There
appeared to be no particular reason why
such stock should have been selected
as the object of a bearish attack. and,
indeed, the personnel of the largest sellers
of ii attracted some attention on account
of their supposed connection with large
interests of the company.
There have been of late some apprehen-
sions that the spring wheat crop would
suffer from the lack of moisture in the
North vest, but, according to the most re-
cent advices. the drought in that section
has been effectually broken. At all events,
the decline in ST. Paul and in the other
Granger shares created a more disagree
able impression than did any of the recent
more sensational movements of the mar
ket
Foreign houses bought moderately on
balance in this market, but otherwise tech
meal conditions were little changed from
those which have prevailed for fort
night back. There was very little commits
sion house either side of the account and
for the most part the transactions were
conducted wholly between professional
board room traders. The strength of the
London market was naturally a reflection
of the decisive Roadway made by the
British army in South Africa, but the
Significance of its progress appeared to
be wholly overlooked in the local specu-
lation.
The money market was not essentially
altered in any way, and while some rather
extravagant estimates Of the amount of
gold to be exported this week were cur
rent, reliable authorities expressed the
opinion that they would not be in excess
of last weeks shipments.
