amount Of new insurance written,

DEWEY SPIKES GUNS

Senator Carmack in his attacks on
the eminent witnesses who have been
summoned to testify before the Senate
Philippine Commission. has shown the
tactics Of THE Quarter Sessions lawyer.
He has stormed, threatened and tried
TO impeach every man who gave testi-
mony unfavorable to his own precon-
ceived opinions But yesterday he
went a little too far. when he virtual
ly charged Admiral Dewey with false
hood or something worse. There is no
wonder that Carmack was perturbed;
he saw the house Of cards which he
and his Democratic colleagues have
been buileing. fall beneath the cold
facts set lUrth by the Admiral. With
a breath he dispelled the clouds which
have been raised by anti-imperialists.
Dewey says that "Aguinaldo went to
Manila for gain, for loot. for money,
and the thought OF independence never
entered his head" There is no man
who was SO familiar with tine situation
as he. and no man whose word will
carry fuler convection. BerOre nis
clean. unimpassioned statement the
fiction that Aguinaldo was fighting for
the independence of the Filipinos. be-
comes laughable. The Admiral shows
that this second Washington" was a
simple adyenturer. VINO had absolutely
nothing to 10 with the surrender OF
Manila, but gathered together a band
that Immediately began to plunder
friend and foe.
The whole of Dewey's testimony is
incisive. uneQuivocai and absolutely
convincing, and leaves anti-imperial-
ism not an inch of ground to stand
upon. Instead OF sending for Aguinaldo,
he came rather against the Admirale
wish. and was humored by a present OF
few guns and allowed TO go ashore
and disre himself. His services were
not rect or needed, and he was
simply ored and tolerated. And this
is the man around whose head the
Democrats have constructed a halo, and
placed on a pedestal, labeled as a sec

had better hesitate before he again de
cides to browbeat Dewey; he may
hear more to his disadvantage.

There was not even a friendly moon.
This condition is a disgrace to any

lage. There has been blundering all
through, but the greatest blunder was
when the six-year contract, which was
a good one in every particular. was
turned down. The Street and Sewer
Commission accepted it, and the Mayor
refused to approve. Then the three
commissioners became weak in the
knees and allowed the judgment of one
man to overcome theirs. 1t was a mis-
take in Judgment, doubtless, but mis-
takes are expensive.
Then they entered into a contract
with a new concern. They had reason
TO anticipate resultant lawsuits. At the
time their attention was directed TO the
fact that suits for infringement of pat
ents against the contracting company
we're pending But they made haste
when caution was necessary, while
they had been cautious when expedi-

The proposition to move the street
market from King to shipley street is
causing considerable talk. Much is
said that is entirely partisan. The first
question to be answered. is whether Il
is necessary for the Peoples railway to
lay two tracks in King street. If this
is decided in the affirmative, then the
market must so. If this happens, then
certainly Shipley street offers the best
location. Il is central, and there is
room. and it is really the only place
properly located available There is no
reason for attacking the railroad COM
pany: it Will not lay additional tracks
unless thc5 are needed, and If they
are needed. then the people are to have
better acc, -amodations. Let us preserve
our equin rium and discuss this ques-
tlon with 1me sense Of fairness.

State Detective Francis and Chief Of
Police Black yesterday accompanied
Mrs. Ferguson to West Chester inorder
to identify a prisoner who is thoughtto
be the fiend who was guilty Of brutal
assault ON this woman some time since,
They received official permission to en-
ter the Jail. but the warden refused for
a long time to allow them admission.
Finally he permitted them to enter tine
corridor. but they only saw tine pris-
oner through a close grating, and their
desire to identify the man was balked.
That warden might properly be ac-
cused of a desire to shield the fiend
from justice, and it remains to be seen
whether his superiors will endorse his
act.

The Irish standard., 1902-04-19

The Tory government hates the Irish
but is afraid to goad them into insur-
rection as in 1893. Though that
historic rebellion lasted only a few
months and was confined to only n
small section of the country, the Brit
ish troops got all the fighting they
wanted. Some $4,000 redcoats were
speared to death by the gallant peas
antry Of Wexford and Wicklow. The
United Irish League extends through
all Ireland and if courageously led
they can whip all the militia from
England and Scotland within a month.
We confidently believe that the Irish
at home will not be intimidated by
their presence. The Irish in America
should see to it that they will not be
pounced upon with IMMUNITY. The
Cork exhibition will open next month
and some 10000 stalwarth Irish exiles
from Columbia should be present to see
how the imported militia from Eng
land and Scotland treat the people.

Says Reynolds Newspaper: Ex-
cept for the bad example of the mans
life, the death of Mr.. Cecil Rhodes is
an event which a Democratic paper
could afford to ignore. 1t is hardly
possible to assert truthfully that
throughout his life he did single act
that, having regard to his enormous
opportunities, could be considered as
good, except, perhaps, the gift of
100000 to the late Mr.. Parnell, to
hasten the day when Ireland shall
have Home Rule. If at his death he
has, as is asserted, left the bulk of his
fortune for the promotion of educa-
ton, then, for his reputation it is as
we'll that he should have died.
