East End residents and Improvement

board of park commissioners the desir-
ability of partially improving and throw

sibIe at all times to visitors, but is minus

In Phalen park its admirers see a re-
sort that will in time eclipse Como and
its beauties, in grandeur, and the agi-
tation started for its Improvement is to
bring to its borders the crowds whose
presence will assist in it's advertisement
and its future beautifying.
Some Of the Improvement clubs which

FREEDom IN THE PHz11PPrNEs.

FREEDOM IN THE PHILIPPINES.
American citizens, even those who re-
side in the territories, have little knowl-
edge of the operation of absolutlsm in
government. They do not know what 1t
is to live in a state of society in which
all of the distinctive American constitu-
tonal guarantees are dispensed with. In
truth they think nothing at all about it,
and remain substantially in ignorance
that such q state Of things is maintained
under their own flag.
Now, if it could be brought home to
even half the voters Of the country that
such law as the one the provisions
of which we quote below was in opera
ton under American authority, and
they could be gotten to give even a
moments serious consideration to the
matter, how quickly there would be an
ending Of the shameful state of things ae
maintain in the name of government in
the PHILIPPINE islands.
Take the two following sections of
law now in force in Manila and else
where:
Sec. ?. Every person, owing allegiance
to the United States or the government
OF the Philippine islands, and having
knowledge of any treason against them
or either Of them who conceals. and
does not, as soon as may be, disclose
and make known the same to the pro-
N1ncial governor in the province in which
he resides, or to the civil governor of the
islands, or to some Judge of a court
OF record, IS guilty Of misprison of trea-
son, and shall be imprisoned not more
than seven years and be fined not more
than $1,000.
Sec. s. All persons who shall meet to-
Sether Tor the purpose of forming, OF
VINO shall form any secret society or
who shall after the passage of this act
continue membership in a society al
ready formed having for it's object in
whole or IN part, the promotion of trea-
son. rebellion or Sedition. OR THE PRO-
MITIGATION OF ANY POTTTTCAT
OPINION OR POLICY, shall be punished
by a fine not exceeding 81, 600 or by i'm
prisonment not exceeding one year or
both.
Those. who are opposed to the Cooner
bill now pending in congress are telling
us that it would be madvisable to saw
to these people that they will have the
American article of government in opera
tion within two or three years. In other
words, Americans are asked to believe
that we should continue to hold the iron
rod Of military rule above these people
indefinitely, and never give them any
substantial national assurance that it IS
not TO endure while American supremacy
lasts.

cor. BRYAN ON 1903.

In an address delivered at Shamokin
Pa, last Wednesday, Col. w. ]. Bryan
prophesied Democratic platform in 1904
on which all members of the party may
stand, tremendously and enthusiastically
Mr.. Bryan told his enthusiastic hearers
that he did not think the money question
permanently settled, for he thought pres
ent conditions would in time develop a
need for additional legislation on the sub
ject. But for the present he declared
other issues to be more pressing: 1T
is probable that Imperialism will again be
prominent, if not the paramount issue.
It is also probable that the trust question
will grow in Importance"
Without exception, Democrats all over
the country agree with the Nebraska
statesman's forecast of the situation in
the next presidential election. Imperial
ism and trusts, with their allied ques-
tons, will be the burning questions in
1904 And T h G l o b e believes that, long
before the campaign is under way, there
will be such an awakening of the public
conscience as to make the success of the
united Democracy at the polls inevitable
Mr. Bryan is man Of The strongest
convictions; he is tenacious of his opin-
ions, and does not readily yield them
least of all does he make concessions to
popular clamor, the influence of defeat or
threatened personal loss; he knows his
own mind and dares maintain what he
thinks is right. hence his forecast of the
probable issues to be most prominent in
the next presidential campaign is o. par
ticular Importance. 1t is also particular
ly pleasing. Cor it is Of platform on
which all Democrats and hundreds Of
thousands of voters Of other party allie
glance can stand in good conscience.

tries. If one could only trace it, there

rights.
The most valuable right of property
which a hired mechanic has Is his skill
in his calling, and his ability to bring
that skill to the most profitable market.
The GIob does not now recall the
contents of the letter in question, or
any of the facts attending the transac-
ton and therefore can have no direct
reference to the case in question. The
court however, makes it plain that the
rights of employer and employee are re-
ciprocal as to ending the employment in
such manner as seems to them best, con-
sistently with the contract obligations Of
one to the other.
Any attempt on the part of the en-
ployer to prevent his employee from
bringing his services to another market
under the most favorable conditions, is
in itself unfair, and may be made the
subject Of damages. The law which in
addition to the civil remedies which such
an employee may have, makes such ac-
ton punishable as a crime, represents,
in the judgment of The Globe, a
sound public policy.

MOSTLY PERSONAL.

That story in the Sun on Christmas morning about H. H. Rogers giving the straight tip to H. A. Rogers that the time to buy Amalgamated was be- tween 10 and 3, reminds me of another good copper story said a Wall street broker yesterday.
 When Amalgamated was on the to- began and Tom Lawson was talking loud about losing money in chunks, the situation puzzled the best of them
 and some parties whom I know decid- ed to call on MT. Rogers and try to get at the inside facts. To their surprise he received them cordially and seemed most willing to talk. He was evident ly annoyed at the turn things had talk en in the market, for. as you may know, he brides himself on being con- nected with successful enterprises | and a lot of people were just then mak- ing him the target of their criticisms. "Mr. Rogers explained the situation fully to his callers: detailed what had caused the large accumulation of cop per; told them about the agreement
 among the producers and manufactur-
 CTS to keep the price of the metal at a steady figure, even going so far as to
 mention the copper company that had
 named the figures; he emphasized the
 fact that the Amalgamated had been | keeping its agreements and declared | that the only mistakes had been those
 of judgment as to the possible con
 sumption-especially how the German
 trade had fallen off: he insisted that | the Amalgamated's properties were in
 good shape. never better: in fact. he
 seemed very anxious to satisfy fully all their curiosity for inside information.
 Before MT. Rogers had fairly fin | ished one of his callers broke in with
 the question: But, Mir. Rogers do
 you advise us to buy Amalgamated at | the present market?'
