Tariff Supreme Issue.
I'm my Judgment, the tariff is the SUI
preme Issue in this campaign. Other
questions may be but the hour, they
will pass with the occasion. but this is
ever with us. 1t has to do with provid-
ing needed revenues for the support OF
our government When perverted from
its original purpose, as under the present
law, 1t becomes an engine Of oppression.
and imposes grievous burdens upon the
people. Tariff reform Is imperative This
can come only through the Instrumental
ityl of the Democratic party. No prophet
Is needed to tell that there will be no
readjustment or revision by the party
now In power.
Keeping in view the ancient landmarks
established by our fathers, the Demo-
cratic party is opposed to the policy OF
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT inaugurated by
the Republicans. The subjugation of the
Philippine Islands was without consti-
tutional warrant and in direct antagonism
OF the spirit Of the great chart Of our
liberties. There is no place In our gov
ernmental system for the Inhabitants Of
these far-away islands. They are inca
FACILITATED for the exercise of the Import
ant duties Of American citize 1ship. and
there can be no Subjects In a govern
ment whose cornerstone is the Deciara-
ton Of Independence. The past cannot
be undone and we must recognise exist
ing conditions. The future purpose OF our
government towards these islands should
be at once declared. There should be no
further vacillation by the party In power.
AS soon as practicable, consistent with
the maintenance Of order. our troops
and their people left to the protection OF
a government to be fashioned by their
own hands. Conquest and holding the
conquered in subjugation, is In keeping
with the spirit of monarchy. II is an

Wants Cash Payment Of 91o, o00, 600

for Canal Privileges-New
Topics Up.

Washington, Oct 1.-THE long expected
response of the Colombian government
to the proposition made by the State De-
partment for the negotiation Of a canal
treaty on the lines of the Spooner act has
reached Washington and was presented
to the State Department today by Mr..
Herran, Secretary Of the Colombian lsga-
ton.
1t is difficult to learn the exact nature
of this communication but 1t 10 known
that It is not altogether an unqualified
acceptance Of the State Departments
proposition. 1t is. however. friendly and
dignifed in tone and does not close the
negotiations by any means. though u
unquestionably sets back the date Of
final agreement by opening up new topics
for argument. r
Wants More Money.
For one thing. the Colombian govern
ment is entirely dissatisfied with the
small amount of the payment to be made
to It by the United States under the pro-
tocoi which 1t is proposed to use 30 the
basis for the treaty. This sum Ii 81, 200
Colombia wants at least $l0.0oo,oo0. More
over. the original proposal looked to .
wait of fourteen years before beginning
the payment of the annual rent. the
amount of which was then to be fixed by
mutual agreement. Colombia now asks
the United States to agree at once on o.
lump yearly payment of 100000 which will
considerably increase the immediate cost
Of the enterprise.
The Colombian government clings to its
contention that It has no constitutional
authority to ALLEVIATE any Colombian ter
ritory and reiterates that the best 1t can
do to meet the language Of the spooner
act which looks to perpetual control BY
the United States. 10 to make q 100 year
lease with a. distinct stipulation that the
same shall be renewable at the United
States option at the expiration Of ths
first century
Sore on Naval oficers.
One obstacle which, IT f. believed. win
interfere somewhat with the Immediate
resumption of negotiations il the feeling
aroused In Colombia by the actions OF
American naval officers during the revo-
lutionary movements there. This Is de-
ciared to have been bitterly resented In
Bogota, where 1t was felt that the Amer
lean officers had exceeded their authority
in interfering with the transportation OF
Colombian. soldiers across the isthmus
railroad. .
The treaty growing out Of the attitude
of these officers was taken up by the Coz
lombian State Department with Minister
Hart at Bogota and has not yet been def
initely settled. The question at issue
touches the sovereignty and has an Inn
portant bearing on the pending subject.
The Colombian legation officiais decline
to discuss the latest response made By
Colombia but the opinion prevails that
included within its scope are some rep
reservations respecting or growing out
of the recent complications in the 18th
mus.

tiers Of South Africa.

New York, Oct. T.--Gloomy accounts of
the state of affairs in Cape Colony. the
Orange Colony. ana the Transyaal have
been received here from time to time
through private channels. but there has
been tendency to discredit them. cables
the London correspondent of The Tribune.
The announcement of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain decision to proceed to
South Africa in order to examine on the
spot the problems presented by the ter
mination OF the war and the settlement
of affairs in the new British colonies con-
seauentiy caused the utmost surprise In
political circles. 1t is tolerably certain,
declares the correspondent, that II the sit
uation had not been one Of peril the Co
lonial Secretary would have left the whole
matter absolutely in the hands Of Lord
Miner.
The feeling between the British and
Dutch people in the Cape Colony just
now is said to be more bitter than 1t was
in the days before the war. The Trans
vaal and Free State colors are worn
freely in the Dutch towns of the cape.
The loyalists are naturally alarmed at
this state OF things. Ever since Mr..
Chamberlain became Colonial Secretary
he has disregarded precedent. One nota-
BILE incident which has a slight resemb-
lance to a master stroke of policy now
initiated by him, was his visit last au-
tumn to Malta to inquire into the petit
ton of the Maltese against compulsory
introduction of the English language.
When he returned to London he consult
ed with his colleagues and soon afterward
came an intimation that the objection
able edict had been withdrawn. II is pos
sibIe that II is this experience which has
prompted him to study for himself the
present position of affairs, not only at the
Cape but in England's two new colonies.
SO as to be able to initiate and carry out
an imperial policy which will be best
suited to the requirements of the whole
British South Africa.
