THOSE RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

T b e Journa1 Washington cor
respondent yesterday said that there was
tendency among senators to relent and
do something for the Kasson reciprocity
treaties "to show the people that the
Mckinley policy had not been completely
bowled out by the high protectionists.''
Ever since congress assembled in De-
cember there have been intimattons that
these pigeon-holed treaties would be
taken up and discussed. For some time
the senate rested on the report of the
subcommittee to the effect that the
treaties were defunct, but later, on the
ground that the signatory powers had all
grated extensions of time, the treaties
were adjudged still alive. The way Is
now clear, therefore, for the senate to
take defnites action on the subject; and,
If that aggregation of statesmen are dis
posed to do the right thing they will not
only rat1fy the Kasson treaties, but will
take steps to have reciprocity treaty
negotiated with Canada. It would be of
granted extensions of time, the treaties

Doubtless attempts will be made to
prove that Major Gardeners report shows
that we are making miserable failure
of the Philippines business. 1t shows
nothing of the kind. 1t does tend to
show excuses on the part of the troops,
but 1t contains encouraging evidence that
the civil authorities now believe them
selves able to cope with the situation in
even such disturbed province as Taya-
bas. 1t must be remembered, too, that
Tayabas is one OF the regions in southern

rines, published in The Journa rs
Washington correspondence yesterday,
shows how we'll the civil authorities are
succeeding in Cavite province, where the
governor is General Trias, long in COM
mand of the Filipino army south Of Ma
Mia.
2 The essential fact to keep in mind while
listening to unpleasant reports from the
Philippines is that the time lis still one Of
transition and that there is bound to be
much that is painful and humiliating and,
perhaps, some things that are disgraceful,
done during that timeat These are mere
Incidents. !. They no more prove that we
have failed in the Philippines than the
atrocities committed by the Seventh cav
airy against the Sioux at Wounded Knee
prove that this government has always
been inhumane in it's Indian policy.
In the meantime the government owes
it to the public to keep it we'll informed.
The people are entitled to know the whole
truth regarding the Philippines, pleasant
or unpleasant.

SIGNIFICANCE OF MAJOR GARDENERS
REPORT.

Major Cornelius Gardener, civil COVER
nor OF Tayabas, presents a severe indict-
ment Of the military in his report on the
conditions in his province which was pub
lished yesterday. Inasmuch as Major
Gardener is an army officer himself it may
be taken for granted that there is at
least good foundation for the charges he
makes against the soldiers. The report
Is one more evidence of the friction be-
tween the civil and military officials In
the Philippines and the widely VARYING
points of view of the two establishments.
From General Chaffee down to the
meanest soldier in the ranks, with now
and then an exception, the army views
the entire Filipino population with sus-
piclon and hostility. The soldiers are
profoundly convinced that the Filipinos
are born liars and deceivers without ex-
ception and have not hesitated to declare
that even the native members of the Phil
iFpines commission and other high ga
tive officials are members of and con-
tributors to the secret revolutionary So
ciety.
The soldiers hold that military govern
ment should be continued for years, and
that there should be no talk of self
government for the Filipinos until mill
tary rule has established the final degree
of peace and tranquility from the north
ernmost extremity of Luzon to Jolo on the
south. . ts-.
On the outher hand. the civil officials
have confidence in the natives, believe
that there are among them many true
friends Of the new order; think that they
are capable Of developing into a very re-
spectacle nation; believe that they re-
spond to fair dealing and humane treat
ment.
Doubtless the mistakes of both parties
proceed from too great confidence that
their views are right. The army thinks
the civil government came in too soon
and the civil government thinks that the
army Is staying in the field too long.
The remedy for the present state Of at
fairs, or, at least, means of finding out
who is right, is the adoption of Major
Gardeners advice, which is also that of
the Philippines commission. That is to con-
centrate the troops in all provinces where
there Is no longer any trouble worthy Of
the name of warfare. in large central
garrisons, withdraw the soldiers as much
as possible from direct contact with the
natives, and leave the ins,llar police to
finish up the work Of cleaning out the

without entering the confines of au-

The remedial measures proposed by the conf
mittee are the registration Of all cases OF
venereal disease without giving name and ad-
dress of the patient; penaliztng the transmits
sion of syphilis, the passage Of law raising
the "age of consent" the safeguarding OF
minors, rigid enforcement of the laws against
procurers, education of all classes, and care

outlaws in Tennessee killed five officers

US Of the desperate battle made for his
life by a Georgia negro, who killed and
wounded five or six white men, before he

read about them. But do they prove that

Every business morning for more than a
year Amy. Preston had taken the 1859 train
from Rossland. She was a stenograDher in
the law Offices of Bingham, Worthington &
Hatch, and the 1888 landed her at her desk
ten minutes before 10. Every morning Harris
French caught the S:42 from Chatham, which
enabled him to reach his Office in the broker
age firm of Avery, Ellis G Co. at Ave minutes
before 10. incidentally it may be mentioned
that the S:42 from Chatham was the S:59 from
Rossland.
French was a member of the Rossland Pro-

was also a member of the club. After that

once or twice,when some Chathamites insisted

these little affairs, so King was surprised to

An Old Book Collector.

A fine appearing, intellectual old gentle-
man who has been working the book stores OF
the twin cities for the last two years and
apparently making good living from them,
was brought to book last week, but jumped
the bail of $500 put up by conf1ding FRIEND
and made a temporary escape.
His method of work was very artistic He
carried with him handbag and his appear
ance was such that no one thought of sus-
pecting him of any irregularity nor was any
watch kept on his movements. There are q
number of old book cranks and collectors
who are at all times browsing along the book
store shelves after bargains, first editions
or rare books. The old fellow took his place
among these cranks naturally and sometimes
bought few volumes, more often, however,
selling than buying.
His real method Of work was very simple
When no one was looking, the kindly old
gentleman would slip book two into his
bag and walk out. Thence, he would proceed
to another store and sell the volume for
what it would bring. He travelled back ana
forth between the twin cities, frequently dis
posing in one city the plumber he had secured
in the other.
One day local book seller found tina,
some of his stock had moved in a mysterious
way from his store to that of another. He
recognized his marks in. 1.-The volumes and

prove his innocence, and fell into the trap
The old scoundrel jumped his BAIL But
the happy sequel is that he was captured
yesterday while engaged in stealing sachel
at ST. Barnabas hospital.
A still more remarkable part Of the matter
is that in hunting down the old collector, sew
eral other book thieves not SO professional
have been detected and now being
watched to secure the necessary evidence.
The man who will steal books is the first
cousin of the book borrower who intends-but
rarely does soto return them. There is a

the scoundrel who steals books. And there is
a room quite near this for the professional
borrower.

CHANGES OF ADDRESS
The GOOD NAME OF MINNEAPOLIS.

It has been suggested in some quarters
that the new administration policy as to
the social evil is not fit subject for
newspaper discussion. Certainly the
president Of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union does not think so. as may
be seen from her letter to T h 9 u r
a to-day, nor do We believe that any
body who is properly sensitive to the
blistering disgrace thus brought upon our
city by the present administration can be
so Indifferent to this matter as to regard
it as something that must not be men
toned. must not be protested against.
but must be covered up and kept from
public notice by. quiet submission and
abstention from any reference to the
infamy. .'
That principle, carried to It's logical
conclusion, would make no provision for
the disposal OF filth Of any kind. 1t would
give no attention to the accumulation Of
offal, would neglect entirely the import
ant duty Of the scayenger, would build no
sewers, but spreading the mantle of
squeamish false modesty over it's disgust
ing surroundings would squat in its own
filth.
That is just what we are asked to do
morally in Minneapolis by those who
would make no protest against the Of
fensive and disgraceful institution in
augurated by the mayor, but would cover
1t over with the mantle of silence and in
action.
Minneapolis cannot afford to do that.
The people Of other cities have not hesi-
tated through any notions of false mod
estys when confronted with a like situa-
ton, to let the sentiment of reputable men
and women be known. twenty-five years
ago a police commission, created by the
state of Missouri, adopted the inspection
system for the regulation of the social
evil in the city of St. Louis. Did the
good people OF St. Louis calmly submit
because the institution was such nasty
thing that they did not like to mention
1T By no means. It became the subject
OF most vigorous protest. Public meet
1ngs were held; indignation and disgust
were voiced in variety of ways and the
men responsible for the Inauguration of
the system were made to realize in a few
months that public sentiment in that city
would tolerate nothing Of the kind. 1t
threatened political disaster for the po-
litical party responsible for it, just as it
does here to-day. The regulation was
abandoned and the good name of St.
Louis was cleansed of the foul blot.
Shall we be less jealous Of the good
name Of Minneapolis? -.s,
