Time TO Stop the Drain.

The Philippine government has lost over
81, 900, 900 in a comparatively short time
owing to the huctuation in the price OF sil-
yer. Perhaps the senate will now consent
to abolish the absurd silver standard. The
losses of the government are a mere baga-
telle as compared to those Of producers and
traders.

A WISE CONCLUSION.

The conclusion reached by the Com
mittee of Twelve, appointed by the eau
Gus of the Democrats of the House
just prior to the holiday recess, that
it would be unwise for the caucus to
outline a platform or make platform
declarations is eminently wise. We
stated when the committee was ap-
pointed that the Democrats of the
House had no authority to make plat
form declarations. The principles of
the party are stated in the platform
made by the National Convention. and
there is no power lodged in any other
body to change the platform.
The caucus of the House Democrats
will meet again tomorrow night to
hear the report of the committee. 1t
is stated that one member of the COM
mittee will offer the Kansas City plat
form as minority report. He is not
doing what is for the best interests
of the party by insisting upon that
course. While it is true that the Kan
sas City platform is the platform of
the Democratic party, it is well known
that there are many Democrats who
do not approve of some of it's pro-
visions. IT is within the bounds of
probability that there are declarations
in the Kansas City platform which will
not be in the platform which will be
adopted in 1904. In view of the fact
that the caucus that will meet to-
morrow night has nothing whatever to
do with platform making there is no
good reason why it should re-affirm its
adherence to the Kansas City platform
or make any new declarations of po-
litical faith. 1t should confine itself to
matters of legislation. The National
Convention of the party will attend to
the making of the platform. The Dem
ocratic party intends to. make a great
gressional elections next fall. 1t would
be a mistake therefore, for Demo-
cratic congressman to take any action
in caucus or otherwise that would be
a stumbling block in the way of sue
cess.
II the caucus should re-affirm the
Kansas Citv platform the chances for
gaining Democratic congressman would
be lessened in the Eastern states and
not be increased in other parts of the
country. The thing to do; therefore, Is
TO adopt the report of the majority of
the Committee of Twelve and let the
matter rest there,

His Own Execntinner.

Many instances have been cited in
proof of the argument that it pays to
be polite, but few are more striking
than the experience of an Italian tele-
grapher at the hands of Calimberti,
the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs,
as reported in a letter from Rome,
says the Youths Companion.
The minister was at Genoa, and. de-
string to send dispatch of great i'm
portance, he went to the telegraph
office and approached the wicket
No one was there. He knocked
profound silence. He repeated his
efforts, and only after third trial a
clerk appeared, who addressed him in
language that was anything but COM
plimentary. He had evidently been
awakened from his afternoon nap.
The minister listened to his grumb-
ling. and then said, pleasantly:
Excuse me, but what may your
name be?''
tx. X"
Are you clerk or telegrapher?"
Photographer"
Calimberti wrote out a Geographic
message, and said:
will you be so kind as to send this
for me?"
The telegram read: Ministry of
Posts, Rome: The telegrapher, X. X,
is transferred to Sicily. Calimberti.''
AS Sicily is the hospital for all pub
lie functionaries who are in disgrace
or i'm the way, and as one seldom
escapes from it, the clerks feelings
may be easily imagined.

THAT BULLpozING sCHEME.

Germany was quick to deny that she
was party to the proposition to pre-
vent the United States from going to
war with Spain. Austria and France.
however, admit that they were willing
to try to bulldoze the United States
into letting Spain alone in her trouble
with Cuba
1t would be interesting to know why
ii was that the British government
brought this matter to light at this
time. There was no particular reason
why Lord Cranborne should have made
the statement that he did in the House
of Commons on Tuesday-the state
ment that Great Britain refused to en-
ter the combination of European Pow
ers to put a pressure on the American
government to prevent it from engage
ing in a war with Spain. 1t is true
that a question from Henry Norman
gave him the opportunity to make the
statement, but does it not look as If
the question and the answer had been
arranged beforehand?
The truth is probably that the Brit
ish government is getting a little
alarmed at the growth of the sentiment
in this country against further prose-
cution of the Boer war. 1t is afraid
that the pressure will become so great
in behalf of some action on the part
of our government in favor of the
Beers that the President and Congress
will not be able to withstand it. Any
,affx Co. III -
United States at this time, expressing
sympathy for them or ihdica ting an
intention to take steps towards bring
ing the war to a close, would have
the effect of encouraging the Beers and
of prolonging the war. 1t might, in
fact, encourage European nations
those which have no great love for
Great Britain-to interfere in the war,
with the view of bringing about the
independence of the Beers.
1t looks. therefore, as if the state
ment made by Lord Cranborne was
deliberately planned for the purpose of
showing the American people that they
would be ungrateful if they should in
sist upon interference in the South
African war. There is no doubt that
if it were not for the belief that Great
Britain was our friend throughout the
Spanish American war, our govern
ment would have shown marked SYM
pathy for the Beers long ago. The great
majority of the people look upon the
Beers as a people struggling for lib
erty and feel that a helping hand
should be extended to them. Their
sympathies are held in check, however
by the knowledge that Great Britain
is our best customer, that she stood
by us in the Spanish American war,
when all the rest of Europe was prac-
tically against us, and that we are not
showing much consideration for the as
pirations of the Filipinos for liberty.

The EpiscopaI Temper Tried.

A certain bishop remarkable for his
precise and dignified bearing, was
once sitting in the studio of an emf
nent artist as a living model for his
own portrait, says Tit-Bits. Perfect
silence reigned for whole hour. while
the knight of the palette diligently
went on with his work. At last, the
Bishop, becoming weary of the dreary
monotony, ventured to remark:
How are you getting on?"
Absent-mindedly the artist replied:
Move your head a little that way
and shut your mouth"
His Lordship, annoyed at the appar-
ent discourtesy, then said:
May / ask why you address me in
this manner"
Still absorbed in his work, the artist
unconcernedly answered:
Il want to take off a little of your
cheek"
