CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem) re-
marking upon the Importance of the
congressional elections, says: IF
there is democracy enough in the
country to elect a Democrat-not a
populistic-house of representatives.
there will be democracy enough to re-
establish the party and TO give ii n
national platform and ticket two years
later on which harmony and success
will be possible"

wouldn't Recommend Him.

Once upon time, not so very long
ago, Senator Tillman sought a place
under the District government for one
of his constituents, says the Washing
ton Post. 1t so happened that just then
an electrician was wanted, and so Mr..
Tillman was told that if he had a man
who could fill the place the appoint
ment would be made at once.
Remembering a young man who had
studied chemistry and physics, Senator
Tillman wired to him to come to Wash
ington. He came. He was a raw boned
South Carolina country lad, and, all
unconscious of the work for which he
was desired, he reported for duty. At
the end of two or three weeks he re-
turned to Senator Tillman.
Senator" he said, I've been dis
charged
That's too bad" replied Mr.. Till
man, but 1 think that if you go down
to the navy yard and register you can
get another job
The young man went down to the
navy yard, but came back with a long
face They will not let me register"
he remarked, unless L get a recon-
mendation from my last employer"
And cannot you get that?" asked
Tillman.
Il don't think L cam" confessed the
youth. Down at the navy yard they
want an electrician. While / was work
ing for the District Commissioners I
was an inspector of weeds on vacant
lots"

The Sinful Brother.

1t was at a certain church meeting,
and. the good bishop was calling for
reports, says Harper's. He had a
rather stern, sharp manner which
sometimes Jared little on the nerves
of the more timid. By and by he came
to Brother b., a lay delegate.
Brother B., what is the spiritual
condition of your church," demanded
the bishop, briskly.
Il consider it good" said the brother.
What makes you think it good?'
went on the bishop.
We'll, the people are religious. That's
what makes me think So"
What do you call religious? Do they
have family prayer"
Some of them do and some do not
DO you mean to say that a man
may be a Christian and not hold fam
lily prayer"
Yes, sir: I think So"
do you hold family prayer"
Yes, sir, returned the brother
quietly.
And yet you think a man may be
a Christian and not hold family pray
err"
Il have a brother who is a better
man than l am who does not hold
family prayer"
What makes you think he is bet
ter man than you are?"
Everybody says so, and 1 know he
L."
why does not your brother, if he
is such a good man, hold family pray
er?" numbered the bishop.
He has ne family" meekly answered
the brother.

PRAISE FOsa PATTERSON.

The Philadelphia Press and some of
the other Northern papers are COM
mending Paterson-the New Jersey
Ss,0O0,000 worth of property-for refus>
ing aid. The Press says: Paterson
is presenting to the world a magnifi-
cent example of civic independence
and. recuperative power. She has de-
clined all aid from the outside with
thanks"
OF course Paterson is to be COM
mended for her course. and it is no
doubt a source of satisfaction to her
and to her friends and admirers that
she is able to adopt such an indie
pendent course. The article of the
Press was not written of course for
the purpose of rejecting upon those
cities which; having suffered from
calamities of one kind and another.
called for aid, though there may be
those who will think il was written
for such a purpose, because there does
not seem to be any special reason for
stating in the article that the civic
pride and independence shown by Pat
erson is no less characteristic of the
people of the East than il is of those
of the West.
1t is true of course that Jackson
Vile called for aid, but it will be re-
called that Immediately after her great
fire she declared she did not ask for
any help. 1t was only after it was
found utterly impossible to shelter and
feed the homeless population that a
committee was named to receive aid.
The difference between the Paterson
and Jacksonville disasters should be
noticed. 1t was the business portion
of Paterson that was destroyed Only
a few of the residences were burned
And the factories were not destroyed.
Therefore there were comparatively
few people who needed help. The
great majority of those who suffered
from the disaster were we'll to-do peo-
pie.
But how was It in the case of Jack
sonville? About the whole town was
burned. The residence as well as the
'N''NN"' "NN'A"'i W." 9NNbN Ny lhc il'.
The people were shelterless, and for
a time the poor were without any
means Of earning enough to buy food.
1t was under such circumstances that
aid was asked II Paterson had suf-
fered to the extent that Jacksonville
did-if the greater portion OF her pop
ulation had been without shelter and
fOod-she would, in all probability,
have accepted aid. II would have been
"A crime TO let her civic pride stand
in the way OF assistance for her shell
terless and hungry people.

CHIMNEY Nor WAITED.

There would soon be troubles in this
country similar to the recent Boxer
troubles in China If the impression
should get abroad that it was not the
purpose OF Congress to re-enact the
Chinese exclusion law when it expires.
such a condition of affairs would not.
in all probability, cause Minister WI
profound regret. Ee would then be in
a position to say that our government
is no more able to prevent outragas
growing out of race prejudice than his
own government is.
Minister WI is using all the infiu-
ence he possesses to have Cinnamon
admitted to this country as freely as
Europeans are. We do not mean to
say. however, that he realizes that if
he should be successful in accomplish
ing his object there would be outrages
upon Cinnamon in all parts of the
country, and that his government
would have grounds for complaint
against our government similar to
those for which our government re-
Gently collected large indemnity from
the government OF China. We do not
think that his. purpose is to make
trouble for our government. All he
aims to do is to place his people, so
far as their coming to this country is
concerned on a footing with the peo-
pie of other foreign countries, but il
he looks at the situation in the light
of past experiences and takes into ac-
count the temper Of our toiling masses
respecting Chinese immigration he
cannot help seeing that if the barrier
which excludes Cinnamon were taken
down it would be difficult to prevent
assaults upon Cinnamon in many of
the states.
The feeling against Cinnamon has al
ready begun to crop out, due no doubt
to the efforts that are being made to
open the country to Chinese immigra-
ton. The Governor of Colorado has
been asked by the Secretar of State
to protect Cinnamon within his iuris-
diction. This request, it seems, was
based upon an appeal to the Chinese
minister, Mr.. WI, from the fifty resi-
dents of Silverton. Col, for the protec-
ton of their rights of persons, bust
ness and property.
It seems that the union iaboring
men there instituted a boycott against
the Chinese residents about two weeks
ago. Since that time twenty-five of
the Cinnamon have left the town, and
it is the understanding that the 9TH
ers will take their departure within the
next ten days. When all Save gone
the ban against Cinnamon will, it is
said, be strictly enforced.
What has occurred at Silverton is
likely to occur in any other town
where the percentage of the Chinese
population is sufficiently large to have
a noticeable effect upon the earnings
Of white laborers.
1t is q fact, that might as well be
admitted now as later on, that the la
boring people are against Chinese i'm
migration, and that If Congress does
not bar out Cinnamon they will un-
dertake to make it unpleasant for
those already here to remain in the
country
There are employers of labor who
would like to see Cinnamon admitted
as freely as Europeans are, because
they think they could get cheaper la
Dor and also would have the means
with which to fight labor unions. Con-
gress win hardly make the mistake
however, of refusing to re-enact the
Chinese exclusion law.

Judge Taft. civil Governor Of the
/ Philippines, thinks that if there were
less talk in tais country about Philip
pine matters there would be much less
difficulty in getting the Fillpinos to
accept American rule. He says that
the speeches in Congress hostile to the
policy of the government are sent to
Manila and scattered among the peo-
pie of the Islands The same thing is
true respecting articles published over
the signatures of men OF prominence
and influence, and also of newspaper
articles
No doubt there is truth in what Gov
Taft says, but if he thinks the talk to
which he calls attention is going 10
stop simply because ne says it makes
it harder for the government to en-
force its policy in the Philippines he
is greatly mistaken. Senator Hoar. fof
instance. would not be able 10 sleep
if he thought he had let an opportun-
ity pass for pointing out that great
wrong is being done the FiliDinos by
not giving them their Independence. He
is very sincere, and is doing only what
he believes to be his duty He is not
taking into account the fact that his
speeches are inspiring the FiIipinos
with spirit Of resistance-that they
are costing the lives of American sol
diers as well as of FinpiAos. besides
increasing the financial burdens of the
government.
There is a great principle at stake
and the issues presented by the Phil
ippines are going to be discussed until
a settlement of them is reached.
Therefore there is no reason why
weight should be given to Gov Tafts
statement that the talk of men in and
out of Congress makes the task of
pacifying the islands much more diff
cult than it would be if the policy of
the government were generally APP
proved.
1t seems that the Federal party in
the Philippines favors prompt submits
sion to American rule but only on the
idea that the ultimate fate of the ISL
ands is annexation to the United
States. The members of that party look
forward to the time when the PhiIip-
pines will become states in the Union
Senator Carmack of Tennessee, intro
duced joint resolution into the SEN
ate the other day to the effect that if
the Filipinos are INDUCING in a hope
OF that kind, they should abandon it
at once, and thus avoid bitter disap-
pointment at some future time. 1t will
be interesting to see what action the
Senate will take on this resolution. 1t
is a safe conclusion that the Republi-
cans will never let it get out of the
committee to which it was referred.
They are not ready to pass upon the
question which it presents.
Gov. Taft should not worry about
the talk that makes his position more
difficult When he went to the Philip
pines he knew as well as he knows
now that the American people were
going to do lot of talking before the
Philippine question was settled how
ever great the cost might be. In call
ing attention to the talk therefore he
