the establishment of vital principles OF

Lowell, Mass, August 26.--For rs min
htes today this city entertained the presi-
dent of the United States. On the run
from Boston, the towns of West Med
ford, Winchester and North Billerica
turned out immense crowds, who gave a
rousing cheer as the train passed by. At
each place, the president appeared on the
platform and acknowledged the greet
ings.
The special arrived here at o:Io a. m.,
and its arrival was sgnalled by the fir
ing Of presidential salute by the local
militia. The g. A. r. performed guard
duty. The sidewalks about the station
were thronged and the common, which
was the scene of the real reception, was
blocked with humanity. Acting Mayor
Eadger and committee of the city gov
ernment met the president and party at
the station and were presented by Charles
M. Allen, former governor of Porto Rico
After few words of welcome, the party
took carriages and drove rapidly to the
common, through streets arched high
with bunting and lined with cheering peo.
pie.
Arriving at the speakers stand, the
president and party were presented to the
people by the mayor.
The sentries, Spanish war veterans, stood
on either side of the president as he rose
to speak Cheers and applause greeted
him.
At the close of his speech, the presi-
dent passed to his carriage. At the rear
OF the platform he found the local camp
OF Spanish war veterans drawn up "at
present." The president smiled and
standing up in his carriage, spoke a few
words to them, including I'm mighty glad
to see you." He was then driven back
to the station.

Edward Howell and Jimmy Watson,
each about so years old, engaged each
other in fight in East Park street this
afternoon, and the latter had his left hand
badly cut by being knocked through a large
plate-glass window, near which the battle
was being fought. Both were arrested and
taken to the city Jail, but it was easy to
track their course, as Watson left streak

flooding the Office Of the jailer after his
arrival there.
Howell was not injured to any extent

The officer, not being from Missouri,
did not care to be shown.
Howell squared off at an onlooker and
wanted to give the jailer and policeman
practical illustration Of how he could do
Watson if no one would interfere, but the
bystander looked him in the eye and
laughed and Howell dropped his dukes like
the road agent who pointed double-bar-
relied shotgun at the driver Of a Black Hills
stage, but was dissuaded from firing by
the simple look of the driver.
Judge Boyle will talk business with the
two gentlemen tomorrow, provided they do
not devour each other in the Jail before
that time.

has reported to the State Department
nat they were true. This compelled
the Republican leaders to throw OFF
their Indifference and they have sent

to say that Lord Pauncefote has been

The statement is made that there are

engaged in recruiting and buying
horses and war munitions. Should this
be established it will show to what ex-

involved the United States in their. de-

The THlEVING TARIFF.

1t is a puzzle to the average Ameri-
can to think why our protectionists
continue to fight bitterly for existing
high-taritf rates. while at the same
time boasting of their ability to sell
American manufactures largely in
foreign markets.
Year by year they sell more and
more of their wares abroad and could
sell a great deal larger quantities of
goods if they would Systematically
cater to the foreign demand. This
means. of course, that they can under
sell the foreign manufacturers In his
own country and can under sell him
here with ease Then why-unless for
pure hoggishneSs-do they still de-
mand a law to enable them to keep out
foreign goods?
There was time. perhaps. when pro-
tectionists from conviction could make
an honest argument for infant indus
tries struggling against the competi-
ton of cheaper goods from abroad,
but that time is past, and now pro-
lection plainly means simply the pre-
servation OF the opportunity of trusts
to put up prices and make phenomenal
profits off the struggling consumer.
The people object to trusts, to exor-
bitant prices and to enormous profits
at their expense, but they fail to make
their voices heard at Washington. The
situation at present is indefensible
and scandalous.

TYRANNY in MANILA.

A dispatch from Manila published
this morning casts clear light on the
condition of affairs existing there. The
editor of a Manila newspaper has been
arrested for publishing in his paper an
article taken from a periodical pub
lished in this country. He approved of
the article. and disapproved of the ar
bitrary government in the Philippines,
and added especially when evidences
of carpet bagging and rumors of graft
were too thick to be pleasant
For this the editor who is an Amer
ican citizen has been immured in
Jail. The other editors in Manila and
the lawyers and doctors convened
meeting yesterday to protest. They
sent a cable message to President
Roosevelt urging him to take steps to
prevent the Commission from using the
sedtion law in sucn cases to prove
lese majestic against the editors"
The flag of the United States floats
OFGl 4tolliltA. IL 10 HONIl hNN W -AAAASAA
cans. The Constitution of the United
States provides that Congress shall
make no law abridging the
freedom of speech or of the press.
If Congress itself can make no law
abridging the freedom of the press
it cannot delegate that power to its
tho Cnpa niGGinn
But the editor of the Manila Freedom
is in Jail and his brethren have wired
the President of the United States
asking him to intervene to prevent
the Commission from bringing pro-
ceedings to punish for lese majesty
This would be interesting il it were
lot infamous.
Lese majesty Is a term frequently
heard in Germany and in Russia. 1t
used to be heard frequently in~France
when Napolean III was Emperor. 1t
means offense to the reigning family.
What think you of it Americans?
The Manila editors who are deprived
they do not seek the writ of habeas
corpus They appeal to the Emperor.
They ask his majesty IN Washington
to moderate his satraps and yiceroys
as a favor; they have no means of ap-
pealing to the courts as matter of
right
No wonder we have not heard of
Rathbones and Neeleys in Manila.
The carpetbaggers and thieves can loot
80 satiation, but there is no danger of
exposure. The mere suggestion that
'rumors of graft were too thick to be
pleasant has sent one editor to a
dungeon. Fear of publicity is sure
sign Of rascality. There will be no ex-
posure of looted contingent funds in
Manila Tyranny reigns and the jails
yawn. What has become of the boasted
manhood and freedom of Americans?
