Senator Teller's amendment to the Phil
ippine tariff bill provides: THAT it is not
intended by the government of the United
States permanently TO annex the Phil
ippine islands as an integral part Of the
United States. but it is the determina-
ton of the United States to establish,
with the consent and assistance of the
inhabitants of the islands, a government or
governments suitable to their wants and
conditions, and that shall give to the inhab-
itants the control and administration of
their local affairs. such as the raising of
revenue and the disposition of it, the main
tenance of peace and order in the several
communities of the islands that have been
or may be organized by the people" This
is the scuttle policy, sugar-coated. In
stead of abandoning all claim to owner
ship and sovereignty in the islands and
letting them 'go to the devil" as Sena-
tor Money proposed. the Teller resolution
would bind the United States to guarantee
protection, good government and independ-
ence, without any of the rights of sover-

DEFINING CASE DECISION.
Judge Advocate General Davis Says
Ii Is Not Very Important.


WASHINGTON, Feb. n.-General Davis.
Judge advocate general of the army, said
to-day that he had no official information
in regard to the decision of the Circuit
Court Of Appeals at St. Louis i'm the case
of Capt. Peter c. Deming. formerly a vol
unteer officer in the subsistence depart
ment, who was rt-martialed for alleged
financial irregularities and sentenced 10 dis
missal and Imprisonment In the government
prison at Fort Lcavenworth. The judge
advocate general further stated that he
had telegraphed for n copy OF the opinion
of the court and that no action would be
taken by the War Department until after
Secretary Root has had an opportunity or
reading IT, The report OF the court, Mr..
Davis said, is not necessarily final, as the
United States still has the right Of appeal
TO the United States Supreme Court
Whether that course Will be taken VIII de-
pend on Secretary Roots view OF the opin-
ion.
According to General Davis, the opinion
of the court as published I'm the news
papers will not have nearly as serious an
effect as represented. There are compare
lively few prisoners at present whose cases
involve the principle determined IN the
Deming case. that is that military court
composed in whole or in part OF ofncers or
the regular army had no jurisdiction over
offenses committed by volunteers. case
involving the same legal questions raised IN
the Deming case is that OF Capt. James u

FRIENDS ONCE MORE.
Senators Dubois and Hanna Bury the
Enmity of Years.

Washington Post.
Speaking of Senator Hanna, he made a
speech at the Gridiron Club dinner last
Saturday night which was one Of the clev-
crest and brightest ever heard around the
table of that organization. And thereby
hangs a story.
Many years ago, when Senator Dubois,
then a delegate from Idaho, was strug-
Cling to secure statehood for that Terri
tory, his efforts were opposed by Senator
Vance of North Carolina, who took occa-
sion to refer to the Idaho people as a lot
of uncvilized mountaineers and BUSH
whackers. Even when Mr.. Dubois eventu-
ally reached the Senate as a Republican
Mr.. Vance did not cease his attacks upon
the new State and it's people. Naturally
the two men did not have any love for each
other. They did not speak as they passed
by.
1t happened however that one day Mr..
Dubois, during the great fight for the re-
peal of the Sherman silver purchasing law,
made speech which compelled Vance's ad-
miraton. He went to the Idaho senator as
the latter took his seat. Dubois, he said,
laughingly, Il am willing now to forgive
you Tor all the mean things L have said
about you and idaho. Let us be friends. "
And they were, until the death of Senator
Vance.
Yesterday Senator Dubois went to Sen
ator Hanna. Senator" he said. you
helped TO defeat me for reelection to the
Senate some years ago when l was a Silver
Republican and now / am entirely on the
opposite side of the fence from you. But [
want to say that after your speech at the
Gridiron dinner L am willing to forgive
everything. A man who can make that
kind of a speech must be a good fellow
Senator Hanna laughed heartily. "Du-
bois,'' he said. 81 don't know that L deserve
your praise. but do know that value
your good fellowship"
And then the two senators sat down and
talked about everything that had happened

Curious Items of Book Binding.

Literary Bulletin.
1t seems a somewhat surprising state
ment to make that eggs, condensed milk,
olive oil and vinegar are all used in the
binding OF books Yet such is the case.
The white of eggs is used for Sizing
to the delicate ornamental gold leaf
to adhere to the leather. To make the
Sizing perform its adhesive work even
more delicately a little milk is added and
to help further In the important work Of
adhesion a coating of olive oil diluted
vinegar is sometimes applied to the leather.
The expert who manages the immense
bindery of Harper & Brothers said to a
visitor, who had gone there to watch the
rush of work on the New Encyclopedia of
United States History, that he has seen
wise old bookbinders use the light froth
of ale a coating over binding OF
silk. The froth held the gold leaf with
perfect success, and did not stain the
silk. Many Of the old expert bookbinders
have little secret methods of their own
by which to produce peculiarly fine re-
suits, and these secrets they guard as
jealousy as the housewife does her favorite
family recipes.

1t appears that a decided majority of the
Republican members attending the House
caucus of Monday night was in favor of the
Crumpacker proposition to enforce the
provisions of the Constitution respecting
representation, even if a quorum was not
present. One of the surprises is that a
man so sensible and courageous as Rep
resentative Cannon should be opposed to
such a proposition, and for the reasons
which he gave. namely, that it would do
the negro no good, and, like the force bill
which was passed in 1891, would do harm.
And this is called a conservative view.
The proposition is not designed TO help the
negro, and there is no feature of the force
bill about this measure, and no proposition
designed to interfere with the holding of
elections in any section should be made a
part of the bill. The whites have the mat
ter of elections in their own hands in the
South let them count themselves out or
in. The one issue in the proposition is:
shall the Constitution of the United States
be so ignored as to allow one white in most
of the States of the South as much repre-
sentation in Congress and In the Electoral
College as two men in any of the larger
Northern States?" There is no other is

THE IDEAL REPUBLICAN.

The meeting of the Lincoln League to-
day in Terre Haute will result in great good
to the party If the spirit of that great man
and pioneer Republican shall pervade the
exercises. In the best sense Of the word
Abraham Lincoln was a politician. He was
a politician because he believed in GER
tain political opinions. These he always
brought to the front. He was first a Wing
because he held to the political opinions of
Henry Clay. When the Wing party was go
ing to pieces he chung to the anti-savery
wing and naturally became a Republican
when the new organization was formed
Indeed, he helped to make the organization,
because in it's platforms his convictions
were embodied. But always the cause was
before the man with Abraham Lincoln. So
when the anti-slavery men in the Illinois
Legislature constituted a majority and
could elect United States senator, he
took the Wing wing of the membership
in body TO support and elect Mr. Trum-
bull, anti-savery Democrat, for the rea-
son that the anti-slavery Democrats would
not vote for Lincoln because of his Wing
antecedents Yet the Wings whom Mr.. Lin
coin led to Trumbul were four times as
many as the Democrats. If Abraham Lin
coin had not put the cause of free-soil far
above self on that occasion its progress
might have been delayed for years. In the
next contest for the Senate with Douglas,
if Lincoln had yielded to the advice of the
more prudent as to what he should say he
might have been elected, but the convic-
ton being in his conscience that this Ma
ton cannot exist half free and half slave
he declared it as the courageous prophet of
freedom.
Abraham Lincoln stood for the best
things in the politics of his time. He did
so because convictions were higher than
ambitious designs. He believed that the
Republican party should stand for the
best IDEAS and that only the best men
should be called to public position by it.
No man had so much faith in the American
people as Abraham Lincoln. For that rea-
son he never played the demagogue to
them. He never appealed to class prejudice.
He never tried to array labor against CAPT.
tai or the poor against the rich. He went
TO them with all the truth as he saw it,
and the people never failed him in the
greatest crises of the Nation. To-day Re
publicans in whose hearts there is a par
ticie of the spirit of Abraham Lincoln,
whether in the Terre Haute meeting or
elsewhere, demand that the Republican
standard be carried aloft by men of pa
triotism. brains and positive integrity. If
the party is imbued with the spirit of Lin
Republican State as Iowa. 1t can only
be lost to Republicanism by ignoring the
life and teachings of Abraham Lincoln.
