The Illinois senatorship.

The clearing of the field in Illinois for the
return OF Mr.. Cullom to the Senate has a
bearing upon both houses Of Congress. 1t
nsures to the upper house the continued
services of man who has made himself
very useful there and has high and i'm
portant committee assignments, and at the
same time 1t settles the question of two of
the most important chairmanships OF the
lower house In the organization of the new
body next. winter.
When the impression prevailed that
neither Mr. Cullom nor Governor Tanner
could win and that the opportunity was
favorable for compromise candidate, both
Mr. Hit and Mr.. Cannon entered the race.
Each was certain of reappointment to The
post he now holds, but each was anxious
for the promotion the situation at home
seemed to hold out. Mr.. Cullom having
won, Mr.. Hit will again be chairman Of
the House committee on foreign affairs, and
Mr.. Cannon chairman again of the House
committee on appropriations. The result at
Springfield therefore is of interest beyond
the one Office that was involved. The coun-
try will benefit by the continued services
Of Mr. Hit and Mr.. Cannon in the places
they have for some time filled so well, and
which call for Wide knowledge and d
liberal experience In their incumbents In
this day Of the conntry's larger opportuni-
ties and obligations. Had either gone 70

influence there, but necessarily not or as
much Influence at once as he had been In
the House
Mr.. Cullom's success is another reward OF
faithfulness to public duty in keeping with
manifestations IN other parts OF the coun-
try. The people are recognising the value
of trained men in these high places Mr.
Morgan and Mr. Hoar have just been elect
ed for the fifth time. Mr.. Cuilom is COM
ing back for the fourth time. At seventy
one he Is a man OF vigor and industry. He
Is chairman of the committee on interstate
commerce. committee of constantly grow
ing importance-and a member of the COM
mittees on appropriations and foreign rela-
lions. He has voice therefore in shaping
in committee well as in the open Senate
measures of the greatest consequence. He
is familiar with all of his duties, and, in
that particular as In others. just the sort
of man the country needs with hand on
the wheel at this time.
In still another particular Illinois is to
be congratulated. The contest while 1t
lasted was spirited. but 1t was settled in a
way creditable to all the parties In in
terest; and Mr.. Cul1om. as on the previous
occasion, comes back with clean hands, and
with the respect of his opponents well
as Of the country at large.

New Century Gas Not Cheap.
ION, the New York TrIbnne

The gas companies are not treating their
customers with extravagant liberality.
When competition was active the biggest
of them all supplied its product at Is cents
thousand feet, and at that rate made daz-
cling profits on the invested capital. Now
the companies exact 81 a thousand for gas
not one whit better. In order to enlarge the
demand for gas in the time of competition
the rival companies in many cases put
cooking ranges and stoves in apartments
without expense to the occupants, expect
ing to get their returns in the gas bills
Now the leading company Is sending out
notices that for the use of these ranges 50
per year must be paid in addition to the
bills for the gas consumed. The amount is
not large, but the consumer already dis
pleased with the size of his bills at 81 a
thousand, and vexed by the poor quality Of
the gas supplied for lighting, naturally be-
comes more unhappy when he is called
upon to meet this additional impost But
what can he do?
Competition was better for the consumer
than combination has proved to be- The
legislature Is in session, but the companies
do not seem to dread any action at Albany
This is not an exhilarating condition of az
fairs except for the owners Of gas stocks

PrOHrenn on the Treaty,

In parliamentary lingo, progress is re-
ported from London in the matter of the
Hay Pauncefote treaty. The British cabi-
net has had the subject under consideration
and next week the public is to be advised
OF the result. Yesterdays consultation may
or may not have been conclusive. 1t is sug-
gested that IL may not have gone further
than to authorize additional discussion be-
tween Lord Lansdowne and Mr.. Choate.
But even If that should prove to be the
limit of it. there will still he good grounds

strong, and as put by the Senate so lack
ing In uffense to Great Britain, that dis
c,ssson Of It by those authorized to speak
for this government can but make for a
fair and workable settlement Of all the
points In dispute.
Public sentiment in both countries has
been fed upon an excessive amount OF mis-
representation with regard to this treaty.
The people OF the United States have been
asked to believe that the President and
Secretary Hay surrendered the American
case through lack of backbone. Mr.. Hay
In particular has been held up to ridicule
In the coarseSt terms as no better than
Lord Pauncefote's dupe in the negotiations.
He could not have been more severely as
sailed had he been man without expert
ence in public business and without rec
ord of pride la his country and its inStttu-
tons.
The English people. in their turn, have
been asked to believe that the Senate in
amending the treaty was guilty of piece
of fragrant impertinence. 1t should have
accepted and passed it precisely as submit
ted by the President. But at the instigation
of the enemies of England. and not really
to safeguard any American interests, it
made the alterations which the instrument
now bears. The act was distinct aHront
to England. and was so intended. 1t should
be resented with spirit England should
stand up for her rights even at the risk of
war Acceptance of the amended treaty
would be humiliation. And 50 forth.
1t is all the merest stuff and nonsense.
The President and Mr.. Hay are as good
Americans as the land contains. They were
nobody's dupes. They exercised their best
Judgment. and the President. as required by
the Constitution, submitted the result to
the Senate for its action. The Senate. ex-
ercising a constitutional right, amended the
treaty, and there we are. 1t had as much
right to amend the treaty as the President
and Mr.. Hay had to negotiate it, and that
in doing Its object was to affront or to
injure Great Britain Is not only unwarrant-
ed, but has been specifically disclaimed.
The yarn to that effect is both vicious and

Judicial Salaries,

4 bill proposing to increase the salaries
paid to the judges in the District jurisdic-
ton has just been favorabiy reported to
the Senate. taking its place alongside Of
Senator Hoar's proposition to make q cor
responding increase in the salaries Of all
tine federal Judges. The first-named meas
urc is a logical supplement to the latter, and
the two should be considered together. and
as the trend of public sentiment now indi-
Gates their passage would be generally ap-
proved. The salaries Of the United States
judges are ridiculously low when compared.
for example, with those of their British
brethren of the bench. who receive an av-
erage of s1S.3sl year more than officials in
corresponding positions here. Nor will the
salaries of the federal judges bear COMPARE
son with those Of the members of some Of
the state benches. In New York, for In
stance, police magistrates receive $1,000 a
year, which is more than the salary of the
federal circuit Judge. while members OF the
state court of appeals receive 1880 year.
$1,000 more than Is paid to the chief justice
of the United States. the highest salaried
officer Of the federal judiciary.
The salaries of Judges were fixed years
ago. when the cost OF living was much
lower than It Is today. and when the bench
was not called upon to perform so many
and so important tasks. The business of
the courts is growing even faster than the
courts are increased in number and capac-
ity, so that each Individual member of the
federal bench Is being called upon con-
stantly to perform more work and to as
sumo heavier responsibility. These eondi-
tons apply with particular force to the Dis
trict of Columbia. where the judges are
called upon increasingly TO pass upon ques-
tons OF the widest scope and the highest
Importance. Their Jurisdiction is more ex-
teusive In scope than that OF any similarly
situated judges in the states. They not
only exercise the same Jurisdiction as the
judges of the United States circuit and dis
trict courts, but also that of the courts of
Maryland at the time of cession. They also
have jurisdiction over the Commissioner of
Patents aud other government officers not
exercised by any other courts anywhere.
They are kept almost continuously i'm ses-
sion. the business of the court requiring
that the annual vacation be cut down to a
brief period. The District pays one-half OF
the salaries of these judges, and is entirely
willing that they should secure the higher
rate of compensation which the Importance
of their duties and the circumstances in
general demand.

MIR. Teller and the Philippines.

In the debate on the army bill Mr.. Teller
said. with reference to the Philippine ques-
ton:
81 am not In favor of giving up the
islands. l want to hold them because 1
think that would be better for the Fill
pinos. and that the islands will be valuable
to us. If, however, we can hold them only
by force, there is no consideration, imam
cial commercial, or any other, that Will
justify us in retaining Them
This is the attitude of many men who
supported Mr.. Bryan on the platform OF
scuttle. They see the importance Of hold
ing on to the islands. They are expansion
lists. and now that we are in the Philippines.
believe 1t would be for the interests of all
parties that we remain. They do not doubt
that the Filipinos would greatly benefit by
permanent American control. They take no
stock in the talk about our imposing yoke
on the people of the archipelago, and maxi
ing them fetch and carry for our benefit.
They believe as firmly as do the men who
supported the President for reelection that
the government which 1t is In the power of
this country to establish in the Philippines
would be of far greater service to the peo-
pie of those islands and to the cause of
peace and prosperity in all that part of the
world than any government the Fflipinos
could establish for themselves.
But at the same time, these same men
declare against the use of force in the Phil
ippines. If force Is necessary to hold the
islands, to give them good government. to
advance the cause of peace and prosperity
in the orient, and to strengthen the position
of the United States in Its play for oriental
trade. why. let them go. Should we have
had occasion to employ force If our position
had been properly understood and our ca
pacity and intentions fully appreciated by
the Filipinos at the outset? Has not Agui-
nado purely for selfish purposes. per-
suaded those who are In sympathy with
him that American control simply means q
new form of tyranny? Are not the great
majority of the Filipinos who are In arms
of the opinion that they are fighting against
a power capable of depressing them and
disposed to do so? Are they not but exercis-
ing against us the feeling of bitterness
which Spain aroused? And would much
more force be necessary In the archipelago
il the people were not encouraged to re-
sistance by reports of the great power of
their friends in the United States working
at this end Of the line for early and COM
pete American withdrawal from the scene?
If the Filipinos who signed that petition,
drafted in Bostonese, which Mr.. Teller had
read to the Senate the other day had known
of his real sentiments on the subject Of
American control of the islands they would
probably have intrusted it to other hands.
The selection of him does not appear to
have been altogether the best in the cir
cumstances. He thinks it would be mis-
take for everybody in interest for US to
scuttle, and that the Filipinos would lose
by it quite as much as we ourselves should.

The Sheriff Responsible.
rom the New York Times

Governor Stanley OF Kansas hits the nail
squarely on the head when he holds the
sheriff OF Leavenworth responsible for the
lynching of the METRO Alexander. The
sheriff had at least fifty deputy marshals
at his command, because they had just
brought the man to the jail when the mob
attacked 1t, and yet no resistance at all
seems to have been offered, and certainly
nobody in the crowd of barbarians was
shot or even wounded by the representa-
tives of the law. This Kansas crime was
apparently much worse than the one COM
mitted few months ago In Colorado. The
mob acted in cold blood, and its members
did not have even the poor excuse of con-
fession tortured from their victim.

Oh. human natures quite perverse.

And everything's amiss.

So sadly misapplied.

And yet each tries In conflict sore
To shut his neighbor out

A game that's played unfair.
