THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TWO
LEADERS.

The differences between Mr.. Bryan and
Mr., Watterson as to the course the Dem
ocratic party should pursue in preparing
for the next presidential contest is at
tracing considerable interest among pol
iticians. 1t is evident from the position
that Mr.. Bryan has taken in regard TO
the Supreme Court decisions and from
various articles which have appeared in
his paper The Commoner, that he in
tends to use all of his influence to hold
the party to the declarations made in the
platform adopted at Kansas City. He is
an ardent advocate of everything which
that platform contains. He does not be-
Aeve in abandoning a single one of its
demands. He would rather lose the next
presidential campaign than to seem to
admit that the party had been mistaken
in any one of the positions 1t occupied
in the last national campaign.
Mr.. Watterson, If we understand his
position, believes that it would be ad-
visable for the party to recognize the
fact that certain things are accomplish
ed facts and to shape the policy of the
party accordingly. For instance. he be-
neves that the United States will have
possession of the Philippines hundred
years hence. He does not believe that
the majority of the people want to give
up those islands, now that they have
possession of them. They might not
have wanted them. if the question of
their possession had been presented to
but being possessed of them as one of
the results of that war they see no way
of getting rid OF them that would be for
the best interests of this country or the
Fnipinos. Therefore he thinks the DEM
ocratic party ehould recognize it as set
tied that the Philippines are to be a
permanent possession of the United States
and should shape its policy in accordance
with that view.
He also regards the silver question as
settled and also some other matters which
played an important part in the last ma
tional campaign. In other words Mr..
watterson takes a practical view Of the
political situation. He does not think 1t
good political management to insist upon
demands which the people have twice re-
fused. He believes in applying Demo-
cratic doctrines to existing conditions. In
that way the party will have a chance
for getting into power. Out of power II
can accomplish nothing, and II seems
that he thinks that 1t is likely to re-
main out of power a dong time unless It
accepts certain things as settled.

ANOTHER SURPRISE.

Washington dispatch in the Morning
/ News yesterday stated that the Supreme
! Court had another surprise in store for
the country. 1t will, says the dispatch
decide the Philippine case in favor of the
government
Would such a decision be a surprise?
1t seems to us that II is expected. The
country would be surprised if the Philip
pine case should be decided against the
government. 1t is not probable that the
court would reverse itself within six
months without a re-arSument of the
questions involved, and If it did not sup
port the government I'm the Philippine
case it would reverse itself because prac-
tically the same questions are involved
in that case as were decided in the Porto
Rican cases.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
United States have never declared their
intention to retain permanent possession
OF the Philippines-that, in fact, the only
declaration they have ever made in re-
spect to them was in the direction of
temporary occupation. Admitting that
Congress has not announced any policy
in respect to the islands, there has never
been doubt worth considering that ii
is the intention of the Republican party
to retain permanent, possession of them.
Congress, which meets in December, will
make that party's intention clear. 1t will
so legislate that it would be a difficult
matter 10 undo it's work even if a sub
seuuent Congress Of different political
complexion should desire to undo it.
1t is also intimated that the Philippine
case may be decided without any refer
ence to the question as to whether the
constitution follows the flag, because the
duty for the return of which demand is
made was collected before the United
States had actual possession of the ISL
ands. That is not a new point. The
Supreme Court had it in mind when it
decided the Porto Rican cases. Mr.. JUS
court, was careful to call attention to the
Importance of both ''cession" and pos
session."
1t Is somewhat remarkable that the
court did not decide the Philippine case
at the time il decided the Porto Rican
cases. That 1t had reasons not yet dis
closed for it's course there is no doubt. If
the decision of that case, therefore, should
be a SURPRISE 1t would not be because
1t was in favor of the government. but
because Of the ground on which it was
based.

Flatbush has provided another novelty,
says the Brooklyn Eagle. Not long ago
it furnished a mild sensation when a
man named Smith was mistaken for his
own hired man. Now ii has produced a
servant girl who refuses to 'worruk" I'M
less a carpet is furnished for her feet.
She arrived few days ago at one of
the residences in Central Fiatbush, and
Immediately expressed a desire to inspect
the premises. If they suited her it was
to be presumed that she would stay, as a
special favor. She did not stay, and 1t
was all because Of the laundry.
Now" said the head of the household,
when she had shown the new servant the
mantel ornaments, the curtains, portieres
and the like, NOW Wen go down stairs
and see the laundry. You'll find it well
appointed and all our washing and iron
ing is done there
To tell the truth, the people in that
house were rather proud of the laundry.
1t was down in the basement, it is true;
but it was neat and clean, airy and COM
Portable.

the household.

Sunday laws for the regulation of bar
Der shops have become FAD in many
states. The Illinois statute on the sub
ject was declared unconstitutional. Our
Supreme Court held that for barber to
shave man in his shop was not such a
disturbance of the peace and good order
OF society by labor as the statutes for
bid. A more stringent law prevails in Tex
as, where all Sunday labor. except that
OF necessity or charity, is prohibited. The
Supreme Court of that state has decided
recently that TO shave a man Is not a
