ECONOMY SHOULD BE PRAcrIcED.

1t is evident from what is appearing
in the public prints that most of the
city departments are insisting upon in
creased appropriations in the new bud
get. Now that the house drainage
work is finished and the drain on the
city treasury from that source is stop
ped and the revenues are increased
from the increase in the value of prop
erty, there seems to be an idea that
there will be more money for each de-
partment. Only recently large tract
of land was purchased for streets-pur-
chased on time-and bids have been re-
ceived for a tract of land for ceme-
terry, though there is testimony that
the present cemetery will answer for
a number of years. There is also talk
of building a new city hall-one. prob
ably, that would cost a quarter of a
million of dollars.
Would it not be better to cut down
the rate of taxation? We are keeping
people away from the city by the rate
of taxation and the valuations which
are placed upon property. We shall
find it hard work to build UP the city
If we continue the present valuations
and the present tax rate. Manufac-
turing plants and business enterprises
hesitate to locate where the burdens of
taxation are so great. The council
should think of this matter. and in
stead of considering the advisability OF
building a City Hall should plan to
lessen the tax burden. The present
city Hall will answer the citys needs
for a quarter of a century yet.

Do epidemic diseases move in great
waves, which defy science? Are their
causes and cycles beyond the ken of
man? A year or so ago smallpox
ragged In the Southern section of the
country, from Virginia TO Florida.
Neither highlands nor lowlands were
exempt. 1t was in the mountains and
on the seaboard. and health authori-
ties were put to their wits ends in the
effort to check it. Now the smallpox
has moved on to other scenes. 1t is
prevalent at present in the Northern
section Of this country, and in Eng
land. From Philadelphia, New York
and London there are reports of the
spread of the malady. Meanwhile in
the South scarlet fever has taken its
place. The latter ailment is not so
repulsive as smallpox, still it is not
a pleasant companion. The probable
tiles are that. like its predecessor. the
scarlet fever will move out and go
somewhere else before 8. great while.
And then. will another complaint come
in and take it's place?

An immigration bill TO be introduced

feature the application Of an educa-

that we are getting entirely too many

ity to read and write were made the
test for admission, in connection with
the other tests now applied we should
get higher class OF newcomers than
those now hocking 10 our shores. Any

TUE PHILIPPINE ISSUE.

/ The decision of the Supreme Court in
/ the case of the Fourteen Diamond
Rings" brings the Philippine question
| 10 the front at once. There is now free
trade with the Philippines. That is a
/ condition of affairs that the protec-
/ tlonists and the various interests
which are iniuriously affected will not
be willing to tolerate long. When Pres
ident Mckinley took the position that
Porto Rico was entitled to free trade
with this country the sugar, tobacco
and other interests which we're oppos-
ed to permitting the products Of that
island to come to our markets free of
duty united and practically COM
PEELED him TO change front. 1t Is
not reasonable to suppose, therefore,
that the same interests will
rest easy as long as we have
free trade with the Philippines, these
Islands being many times as large and
many times as populous as Porto Rico.
II is probable. therefore. that the
Republican majority will at once pro-
coed 20 make a tariff for the Philip
pines. The Supreme Court, ii anoth-
er decision rendered last Monday, prac-
ticaTly said that it could do this. 1t
held the Foraker act, which applied
to Porto Rico, constitutional, and it
would undoubtedly hold similar legis-
lation for the Philippines constitu
tional.
There is another reason that will
cause Congress to make haste to en-
act a tariff law for the Philippines. II
is that under the treaty of Paris
Spain has the right to trade with the
Islands on the same terms as the Unit
Il States for the period of ten years
from the date of the treaty. Free
trade between the Philippines and the
United States would therefore mean
free trade between spain and the ISL
ands. Indeed Spain might be able to
send her. products into the United
States free OF duty. They could be
sent by way of the Philippines. 1t is
apparent, therefore, that it is import
ant that there shall be Legislation of
some kind at once bearing upon the
affairs of the Philippines.
That being the case the Philippine
question is likely to take precedence of
every other in Congress. 1t may even
assume importance from the stand
point of party politics, because it is
hardly probable that the Democrats
will consent to legislation for the up
holding of the protective system.
Secretary Gage says that the amount
Of duties which the United States win
have to refund in compliance with the
decision will hardly exceed $1,000, 600,
but it is doubtful if he is in a position
to speak authoritatively on that point.
The chances are that the amount will
be much larger.

The session of Congress has not more
than fairly begun, yet the Sampson
Schley controversy has already made
its appearance in the House. There
is a proposition to investigate Maclay
and his alleged history, and the con-

with it. Unless all signs fail. this navy
scandal is going to furnish the current
Congress with one of the most sensa-
tional episodes Of its session.

TAKING CARE OF THE SURPLUS.

Before the meeting of Congress there
was a great deal Of talk about the
necessity for reducing either the tariff
or the internal revenue taxes so as
to prevent the accumulation of a sur
plus. The cry was that the money of
the country was being gathered into
the treasury, and only a portion of 1t
was getting out again. Therefore,
there was a scarcity of money and the
business world was becoming embar-
raised.
But Secretary Cages estimates for
the fiscal year of 19O2-1903 make 1t
pretty clear that, If they are adopted,
there will be no surplus. He calls for
the enormous sum of 500. 1927 ,6SS for all
departments. When it is remembered
that it is not more than half a CEN
furry since appropriations amounting
to $50. 900 600 a year were ample for
the needs of the government, and that
as late as 1898, only three years ago.
the total amount of the appropriations
for the year was less than half OF
what Secretary Gage asks for now, it
will be admitted that we are paying
dearly for becoming a great world
power.
Secretary Root tells US that there
has been a very great reduction in the
forces in the Philippines and the
country is at peace. except in so far as
1t is necessary to run down few guer-
rillas in those islands. and yet the es-
Inmates for the fiscal year beginning
June 80 next call for a great deal more
money than when We were at war with
Spain. Is not this extravaganza OF
the Republican party good political
ammunition for the Democratic party?

GERMAN INDUSTRIAL DEPRESSION.

There are hundreds of thousands of
workmen out of employment in Ger
many. The industrial and business de-
preston is so great that it causes the
government a great deal OF uneasi-
ness. The dispatches say that the
indications are that Germany is on the
edge of a great political disturbance,
growing out of legislation proposed by
the government for the betterment of
the condition of the farmers.
A day or two ago we gave an ac-
board one of the steamships that ar
rived at New York from a German
port, the box coming as freight. He
had existed for fifteen days slowed
away in the hold of the steamer. He
was nearly dead when discovered, and
when he had been revived sufficiently
to talk he said that he was a painter
by trade, and being unable to find
work in Germany had determined to
come to the United States. Having
no money he had himself boxed up and
shipped as freight. This incident
shows that there must be a vast num-
Der of people out of employment in
| Germany. OF course the legislation
which the government is proposing to
| help the farmers will raise the price
| of food articles. 1t will advance the
price of bread. and therefore the manu-
facturers and others are opposing it.
The government however, says that
by increasing the duties on agricul-
tural products it will be able to make
commercial treaties that will be ad-
vantageous to the manufacturers, so
that eventually the manufacturers and
! their workmen will be helped.
AS a matter of fact Germany, as well
as other European countries, is feel
ing the competition of the United
States In this country iron and steel
and all of the products of these ar
ticles can be manufactured at less
cost than elsewhere in the world. Not
only that, but all sorts of farm products
can be grown and transported to Ger
many for less than they can be pro-
duced there. 1t is doubtful therefore
if the legislation which the German
government is proposing for the benefit
of the people will accomplish the OBJ
iect in view. The United States are
the great world power in more respects
than one.

THE souTH's REPRESENTATION.

1t looks as II those states which have
put what is known as the grandfather
clause" in their constitutions for the
purpose of getting rid of the illiterate
negro vote would be given an oppor-
tunity to show that they have not vio-
lated the Federal constitution in so
doing. The states which have adopted
this clause are Louisiana and North
Carolina. Representative Dick of Ohio
has introduced into the House a reso-
luton asking for a general investiga-
ton of the abridgment of the right TO
vote in certain states. and Representa-
tive Moody of Massachusetts has ask
ed for a committee to investigate the
question whether the Louisiana dele
cation has a right 10 seats in the
House, his point being that a Ger tain
class of citizens in that state are dis
eliminated against in the matter of the
suffrage.
1t is not certain of course that there
is an intention on the part of the Re
publican leaders 10 take up this matter
of the Arrangement of the suffrage in
the states in question. but it is certain
that there are Republican congressman
who are determined to make it their
business.

vestigation on the ground that it is of
the utmost Importance that this ques-
ion should be settled at once, because
in the event of a close vote in a presi-
Dental election 1t might be raised.
they will have more support, in all
probability, than if their purpose is
simply to gain a partisan advantage.
There is no doubt of course that the
constitutionality of the method by
which Louisiana gets rid of her litter
ate negro vote has been questioned by
soTffe OF -Gssolast lawyers of IL ~
state. Still, there are other lawyers,
equally as eminent, who insist that the
method is not unconstitutional. 1t is
probable that the matter will be con-
tinually coming to the front until it is
finally settled by the Supreme Court
