FRIDAY. MAY 2s, 1902
EvEN.HANDED JUSTICE

Yesterday at the instance of the At
torney General Patrick Fahey promi-
nent as a politician and contractor,
was arrested for subornation OF per-
Jury. ,All that the public should ask
for ia even handed justice. The arrest
has caused much comment on the
streets, but we suggest that as "a
speedy triad is probable, il would be
we'll to withhold an expression of
opinion till the matter has been heard
in court.
Such an offense strikes at the very
foundation OF justice. Our boasted
Jury system rests upon the belief that
most evidence under oath will be
truthful. He who periures himself or
who causes another to commit perjury
is tampering with the courts, seeking
TO set at naught the law, and is, there
fore. exceedingly dangerous. There
fore we feel certain that MIR. Fahey
will interpose no objections to a trial
at the earliest possible moment, for to
rest under a charge of this nature
would be intolerable to an innocent
man.
We are fortunate in having courts
TO which no taint OF suspicion attaches.
Our judiciary has the confidence OF
everyone. Even the charges OF politi-
cal bias which We're frequently heard
a decade or more ago. are no longer
even whispered. This is cause for con-
graduation. and in this as in other
cases. we have only TO await the ver-
dict of the jury to be satisfied. The
only fear is a partial jury, but our
iuries. too, have undergone improve
ment.

The coal strike is growing menacing.
The West Virginia bituminous miners
have agreed TO stand by the anthracite
workers. and instead of 10000 per-
sons idle the number may soon be a
half million. Preparations are now
being made to call a national conyen-
tion OF miners, and efforts will be
made to induce that body to declare "A
general strike. The results of such a
decision are hard to imagine. SO far
there have been no breaches of the
peace. but as the strike continues we
may look for disorders. possibly riot
ing and bloodshed. The price of coal
is steadily advancing, and whether the
strike is terminated soon or continues,
it will doubtless be used as an excuse
for keeping up prices during next win
tor, when all will be compelled to use
coal. no matter what the cost. Thus
IN every disagreement between miners
and operators. the people foot the bill.

SENATOR HOAR ON
THR PHILIPPINES.
Thinks FiIipinOS Should Erect
Their Own Government,
As Done in Cuba

Washington, May PA notable con-
tibutiOn to the discussion of the
Philippine question was made in the
senate yesterday by Mr.. Hoar, of Mas
sachusetts. His views on the subject
are well understood, but his expression
of them was profoundly interesting and
even impressive. When the venerable
senator began to speak every senator
at the capitol was in his seat, and for
the two hours and half his address
consumed he was accorded the most
careful attention, not only by his col
leagues on the floor, but also by the
people in the thronged galleries.
Mr.. Hoar confined himself closely to
his manuscript. He denounced the at
titude of the government in the Phil
ippines as one of the most wicked and
foolish chapters in American history.
He urged that the United States should
withdraw from the islands and permit
the people there TO erect their own gov
ernment, as had been done in Cuba.
He sharply arraigned General Funston
for the methods he pursued in the cap
ture of AgninaldO, and intimated
strongly that had the senate been
aware of the facts Funston might not
havebeen his recent PREDICTION. He
hoped that, as the irreyocable step had
not been taken by the United States
better counsels would yet prevail, and
that this government would leave the
Philippines.
In part Mr.. Hoar said you have
wasted six hundred millions of the
treasure. You have sacrificed nearly
10000 American lives-the flower Of
our youth. You have slain uncounted
thousands of the people you desire to
benefit. Your generals are coming
home from their harvest, bringing their
sheaves-thousand of sick, wounded
insane, to drag out miserable lives,
wrecked in body and mind
"You make the American flag in the
eyes of a numerous people the em-
blem of sacrilege in Christian churches,
of the burning of human dwellings,, Of
the horror of the water tortures. be-
lieve-nay, / hnow-that in general
our officers are humane. But in some
cases they have carried on your war
fare with a mixture of American inge-
nuity and Castilian cruelty
What have your ideals cost you2
What have they bought for you?
For the Philippine Islands you have
had to repeal the Declaration of In
dependence; for Cuba yon have had to
roafirm it, give II new lustre.
For the Philippine Islands you have
had to controvert the Monroe doctrine
into a doctrine of mere selfshness; for
Cuba you have acted on It and vindi-
Gated It,
I'm Cuba you have the eternal grati-
tude of a free people; in the Philip
pine Islands you have the hatred the
sullen submission of a subjugated
people
Prom Cuba you have brought home
nothing but glory; from the Philip
pines you have brought home nothing
of glory"
Spontaneous applause swept over the
senate and the galleries at the con-
clusion of the speech. Such demon
stration is very unusual on the floor
of the senate. So pronounced was il
that the presiding officer called the at
tention of senators TO the rule pro.
hibiting any expression of approval OF

We are informed that recently it has
been impossible to hold a meeting Of

SOUTH AFRICAN PEACE ASSURED
Important Messages Received From
Lord Milner and Gen. Kitchener.

London, May 23.-The Daily Chron-
icle this morning claims authority to
say that peace in South Africa is prac-
tically assured. This is also the gen
eral impression with the other news
papers and the public. 1t is under
stood that important dispatches we're
received yesterday from Lord Miner,
the British high commissioner in
South Africa, and from Lord Kitch-
ener. but nothing can be ascertained
as to the nature of the contents Of
these messages.
The fact that the cabinet was sum-
moned so quickly after the arrival of
the delegates at Pretoria is regarded
as a good augury, as the discussions
at Pretoria could only have commenc-
ed Monday. The cabinet will meet
late this afternoon in order to enable
the ministers who are at a distance to
reach London in time for the meeting.

Bishop Thoburn Bslievcs Soldiers Nee
essary In the Philippines.
Washington, May 23.-Bishop Tho
burn, of Kingston, o.. who has made
several trips to the Philippines in Tie
interests of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, gave his impressions Of the
country and people before the senate
committee on the Philippines ycstor-
day. lie compared the Filipinos to the
American Indian in their tribal and
treacherous characteristics, but do
clared they were much brighter. lie
believed them not capable of self-gov-
ernment.
"Would you advocate the withdrawal
of the American troops?" asked Mr..
Lodge.
Il believe that would be a crime"
he responded.
The bishop believed God put the
Americans into the Philippines.
you believe God was with us in
Cuba?" asked Mr.. Patterson.
Il do, indeed" replied the bishop
"But you know the American gov
ernment is not there now, do you notg"
questioned Mr.. Patterson.
Mr.. Patterson's continued examina-
ton along the same line brought from
the bishop the retort that if this was
to be a discussion of metaphysics and
theology, he must decline to answer.
In response to questions by Senator
Culberson, Bishop Thoburn said he be-
lieved that the Filipinos should have
a protectorate after the manner of the
British protectorate. The bishop said
he did not believe that originally the
American government had, when Adj
miral Dewey went to Manila, any in
tention of taking control Of the Phil
ippines. President Mckinley, he said,
had told him that he had tried in
every possible way to avoid the annex
alton of the Philippines.

that comparison OF the two clearly

in and took the change and then made
his exit. Mrs. Cowles who was Sleep
