garded as a good commercial PROPOSE
ton. in the end. Germany probably
kept even in her war with France. but
that case was almost unique in Euro
pean history. On the other hand, our
territorial acquisitions from Mexico
have been worth many times what they
cost, and the Louisiana Territory would
have been well worth an expenditure
of two thousand millions of dollars.
The remote consequences Of acquir-
ing new territory are so varied, ana SO
interviewer. that it is practically i'm
possible to figure out the benefits upon
a dollars and cents basis. In the case
of the Philippines, there is this to say:
Nobody could foresee at the outset the
long continuance of hostilities in the
islands: it was believed that peace
would be speedily restored; the expense
has been incurred contrary TO all rea-
sonable anticipations, and the money
having been expended nothing would
be gained by turning the islands adrift
except loss of prestige. Besides, the
most of the money has been disbursed
among ourselves, and it is doubtful if
the nation, as whole, is any poorer
on account Of the Philippine war. OF
course the unjust operation of war
taxes must be conceded by all. We are
referring now merely to the matter Of
national profit and loss. But both on
account of the unequal burdens Of tax
alton and because of the precious lives
at stake, every effort should have been
made fairly and justly to restore peace
at the earliest possible day.
The Times has repeatedly stated and
believes that had truly American poll
cy been announced and inaugurated
in the Philippines it would have been
a potent factor in ending the conflict
there. Such a course was demanded
by every sound business and political
and the failure to adopt
it was the one serious mistake in deal
ing with the islands acquired from
Spain.

DUKE OF ALVA's FUNERAL.

Burial.

NEW YORK. Oct 16-A cable mes
sage was received today Dy i. A. Eldred
& Son, the undertakers who have in
charge the body of the Duke of Alva and
Berwick. requesting that the body be
sent to Europe. The message came from
the Duchess of Alva, who is at present
at Dave. Belgium.
The despatch said that she would meet
the coffin at Southampton with her three
children-James, the new duke: Fernando
and Dona Sol-and proceed from there to
Spain, where the burial will take place.
The body will be shipped on Saturday.
All arrangements have been taken

Embassy at Washington. Sir Thomas

reach this city before Saturday and take

ferior was a growth of centuries, hand
ed down from generation to generation.
Nothing but time and gradual i'm
provement of the Intellectual and moral
status of IL, negro could overcome such
a feeling. B 1t no time was given. The
ballot was thrust into the hands OF
million adult negroes who had no more
idea of the duties of American citizen
ship than they had of the mysteries OF
Brahmanism. As a mere abstraction,
this would not have been so bad, but
the practical effect in many cases was
to make the negro the political master
Of his former owner. People may NOR
alize about it as much as they please,
but the cold fact is that 1t is not in the
nature of the Caucasian race to
stand it.
We may grant, arguendo, that the
Fifteenth Amendment being the law of
the land, no one has a right to set it at
defiance. This, though, does not prove
or tend to prove that the future OF the
negro depends upon his immediate en-
joyment of the elective franchise. Con-
sidering the matter phtlosophically, 1t
may fairly be urged taat if his voting
privilege is made to depend upon his
educational attainments, it will stimu-
late his desire to obtain the necessary
education, and thus inure to his advan-
tage. If he is denied the ballot be-
cause he is ignorant and not by reason
of his color, he has no moral right to
complain, and nobody else has a moral
right to complain for him. There is
vast amount of sickly and illogical
sentimentaIity in the idea that the
withdrawing of the voting privilege
from the negro upon the ground of illit-
eracy means the blasting of the future
OF the race. There is a great deal in
life besides voting at elections and NOV
ing in what is termed good society,""

The Americas Victory. 1881.

(From the New York Evening Post.)
1t is not generally known that Walter
Savage Landor wrote verses on the win
ming of the Queens cup by the schooner
America for the verses, which We're pub
lished in the Examiner" and in Last
Fruit off an Old Tree" were omitted
from the edition of his collected works.
Such as they are-and they are not in
Landor's happier vein-they show the SEN
sation which the victory of the Yankee
Yacht caused in Great Britain:
To teach the mistress OF the
What beam and mast and sail should be,
To teach her how TO walk the wave
With graceful step, is such a lore
As never had been taught before.

THE MERGENTHALER PROFITS.
Old Directors Reelected and An
nunI Reports Submitted at Boston

BOSTON, Oct. 16.-The annual meeting
of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company
was held here today and the old di-
rectors were reelected. The report for
the year ending October shows net prof
its of S2.OS9. .O32, against s1,919,165 in the
previous year, and 81 1,s27.067 in 1899. The
report states the company is involved in
no litigation. There are now 1,49i offices
in the United States using the linotype
machines. There were at rental at the
close of the year 9s6 machines, of an an
nual renting value of $35. .333 .a
The factory delivered during the year
6i1 machines. The number of machines
sold was 63S. of which 81 were held on
rental at the time of purchase. The net
profits of the years business were s., ,0S3.-
O32. as compared with 81 l919 ,l65 in 1900 and
81. .627. .067 in 1899. The sales of supplies in
the year amounted to s547 900, a gain of
s155.0O0 over the preceding year. The net
earnings for the fiscal year were 20 per
cent on the $4,000. 1000 capital stock.
1t is the expectation that an extra divi-
dend of ga per cent and possibly per
cent will be declared in December. The
total assets on October l were Sll 093. $50,
against S1025s. .s36 one year ago, and the
surplus Sl,G76.574, against S243540 in 1900.

War Expenses,

Referring to the cost of wars, the
philadelphia Ledger" states that our
conflicts with Spain and the Flipi-
nos have involved an expenditure of
four hundred and eighty-nine millions
Of dollars. besides the purchase price
Of the Philippines; and that as an offset
We possess Porto Rico, the Philippines,
and the right 10 occupy certain parts
of Cuba for naval stations-all of
which aie of indefinite monetary value.
It is very true that modern wars are
expensive, and that our own with Spain
and the insurgents in the Philippines
have stood high in this respect, consid-
ering the small amount of actual fight
ing done. If the early collapse of the
Spanish power had been foreseen the
expenditures on account of that war
could have been considerably reduced.
and 1t Is very likely that the cost of
holding the Philippines could have been
largely cut had a different policy been
inaugurated with reference TO those
islands.
This matter OF expense has been urg-
ed by many as a reason for not hold
ing the islands. and 1t has been argued
that the commercial advantages will
never equal the expense. That is
point upon which nc one can speak
with assurance. The truth is that very
few wars ever pay for themselves di-
rectly in a commercial way, and they
are not generally expected to. Wars
are fought TO vindicate rights, to re-
dress wrongs, for territorial expansion,
for military or political advantages. and
with many specific objects in view, but
very seldom with the idea of at once
building up commerce that will cover
the expense. 1t is doubtful If England

a auayite Trick.

Two of the Quay Democrats of Penn
sylvania, recently ousted from the
Democratic State Central Committee,
nul the action of the committee in the
matter of the removals, and also in the
substitution of Mr. Coray for Mr.. Palm
as candidate for State Treasurer. In
passing it may be observed that Mr..
Palm. the regular Democratic nominee,
is raising no objections himself. So far
from it. he voluntarily withdrew from
the ticket for the express purpose of
enabling the committee to name Mr..
Coray in his stead.
The tender solicitude of these Quay
Democrats is not for Mr.. Palm at all.
The purpose is to prevent fusion, and
thereby destroy the possibility of over
throwing the Quay regime in the Key
stone State. One of them objects to his
own removal from the committee, while
the other protests against the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Coray Both claim that the
proceedings were entirely at variance
with Democratic rules and customs.
Perhaps they were, but men who have
just been kicked bodily out of official
stations in the party for treachery to
its principles are not in a position to
make that claim with much force. The
aim is simply to complicate the situa-
ton and defeat the fusion movement.
The fact that they have chosen to pur-
sue this course gives renewed emphasis
to the propriety of the action of the
committee in removing them.

While IL may be some time before we

A Mere Reflection.
From tb. Cincinnati Fno,,irerA

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.)
1t is a great honor to be the next friend
to an Administration. Senator Lodge,
however, viii be at the disadvantage of
being looked upon as mere reflection
every time he gets on his feet.
The Washington times., 1901-10-17

The decision of the War Department to
II AXE no further reduction in the military
force in the Philippines for the present
probably is a wise one. Although condi-
tions are peaceful in most places, past ex-
periehcos should teach US to be cautious.
No matter what protestations Of loyalty
may be made, it is quite essential that we
have sufficient force there to meet any
emergency. Almost equally important is
it that they be properly distributed
throughout the archipelago. Troops IN
Luzon can scarcely be effectiy in keeping
the peace in Samar.

AS Admiral Schley's witnesses are on
the stand nowadays, the principal busi-
ness of the prosecution is to break their
testimony. If possible. 1t is a self-im-
posed duty, because the idea Of any sort
of prosecution before a Court of Enquiry
has been introduced for the first time in
the present case. Captain Bemiys efforts
yesterday were not crowned with emf
nent success. He was unable to confuse
Captain Cook, who was recalled. and he
had no better luck with others.
