PRESIDENT HOLDER ON EQUAL
SUFFRAGE.


President Arthur +. Holder of the
Iowa State Federation of Labor said
at the Federation's annual meeting,
held in Cedar Rapids short time
ago:
"Many organizations with elabor-
ate titles talk about the condition of
women and children wage earners.
Let the trade unions of Iowa do
something for them. Open wide
the avenues of discussion, illustrate
the advantage of collective bargain
ing, instead of destructive wage
cutting by individual competition.
II we would be consistent by saying,
Equal rights for all, regardless of
sex, and heralded to the world that
the trade unionists OF Iowa are will
ing to take advanced ground, and
declared with no uncertain sound
that we are willing to give our
sisters the ballot. II we are, then
let us conscientiously help them to
get il.
"Our platform Of principles EN-
phatical.y declares that we draw no
line as against creed. color, nation
ality, or sex. Woman has taken
her place side by side with man in
industrial and professional pursuits.
This is all a part of economic
development, and no human power
is strong enough to regulate her;
no one is audacious enough even to
propose it. We know where our
duty lies, and that is to give women
all the protection possible. If we
are IN earnest, and prevail upon
them to see the necessity of organiza-
lion, can we say, Stop at the TIRES
hold of the trade union? No; we
must show our sincerity by adding.
You are responsible citizens; you
are our industrial! associates; you
are entitled to all the privileges and
duties. as well as the responsibilities,
OF your new station in life; the open
door of the franchise shall be given
you. When women are given these
wider opportunities they will improve
them, and no problem of child labor
will stare US In the face"

Mr.. James w. Holt, editor of the
Grafton Sentinel has been Postmas-
ter of that place for two terms past
but was succeeded recently by b.
w. Blue. In referring to it Mr..
Holt says:
The Sentinel heartily congratu-
lates Major Blue on his successful
contest for the postoffice. He was
an applicant for the appointment IN
1897, and when he failed he kicked
high and loud, and chased Dayton
all over this county with two hand

tired of that experience and decided
to not have it occur again and now
gives the gallant Major the place ne
sought. The moral in this case is
that it pays to be kicker

DEWEY
He Would not Accept -Aguinaids Was
Told 10 Organize Ms People and
Make the Fight.

In a statement before the senate
committee on the Philippines Ad
miral Dewey said the Spanish COVER
nor wanted to surrender Manila to
him after the destruction of the feet
and that he Dewey would have
accepted formal surrender ifhc had
had 5000 troops to garrison the
city. He told about Aguinaldo's
arrival, saying he put him ashore
and told him to organize his people.
Aguinaldo came back discouraged
and wanted to go to Japan, but the
admiral told him to continue his
efforts. Speaking OF Aguinaldo's
military operations he said he did
wonderfully in whipping the Spanish.
Admiral Dewey said he never rec
ognized Aguinaldo's government
nor saluted Aguinaldo's flag, or paid
any attention to the proclaim alton of
independence of the Filipinos.
In explanation of the statement
that Manila surrendered on the day
of the destruction of the Spanish
fleet, Admiral Dewey said that dur
ing the naval engagement several
guns were fred at him from shore
batteries, and that as soon as the
Spanish squadron was destroyed he
sent word to the governor Of the
city that if another shot was fred
from the shore he would fire upon
the city. The governor replied,
that If the Americans did not fire
upon the city, the shore batteries
would remain silent. The Spanish
flag was not taken down, but white
flags were raised. 1t was surrender,
and il / had had with me 5000
troops with which to occupy the city,
could have taken it and held it.
l anchored my ships under his guns,
1900 yards away, and lay there
twenty.four hours. During that
time the governor general sent word
to me several times he wanted to
surrender to me-to The navy. !
could not entertain his proposition
of formal surrender, because of the
lack of troops 10 take possession.
"What would have been the effect
of permitting the Philippine forces
to enter Manila when our troops
entered2' he was asked.
1.-The Spaniards we're fearful of
the result OF such a course, therefore
they surrendered 10 me in advance,
said Admiral Dewey. "That was
all arranged and there was no need
for the loss of a man in the capture
OF the city. 1t was 10 be done at a
signal and no gun needed to have
been fred by us but for The desire
OF the governor general, who said
his honor demanded a few shots
should be fired. SO | had to fire
and kill few people. but the
Spaniards did not fire because of
my warning it would be disastrous
TO the city for them to do so. They
had in the city $1,000 troops and
forty-seven rifled guns"

mercial Pacific Cable Company
practically in possession Of the field
and that company has made a
proposition to the Secretary of the
Navy offering certain concessions in
return for the cable survey. made by
the United States Ship Nero.
Naval and military reasons demand
the prompt completion of cable
line to the Philippines and for that
reason Secretary Moody was inclined
to comply with the request OF the
cable company but the President
and his advisers deemed IL wise to
first submit the proposition of the
company To- the Attorney General
for examination and pending his
report no action will be taken.
TIT
The President had already signed
the Panama Canal bill and accord
ingly the provisions Of that measure
were extensively discussed. No
time will be lost in making an effort
to determine the validity of the
title which the wrench company
offers and Attorney General Knox
was instructed to Immediately take
steps to that end. 1t is possible
that it will be necessary to send a
representative to France to conduct
the investigation and Assistant At
torney General Russell is named as
the likely Commissioner. 1t was
rumored about the White House
yesterday that the President had
received private information from
France to the end that the French
government stood ready to take

might deem necessary to the perfec-
ton of the title, and, il the rumor
prove true, such action will materi.

But there was one accomplishment
in which the Fifty-seyenth Congress
failed not, the expenditure of the
public funds. Even according to
their own hnanceer, Senator Allison,
the appropriations for the session
aggregate $500, ro3,S37. nor dose
this include the contracts authorized
and which are the equivalent of so
many promissory notes which must
be paid at some future date, and
which, according to Representative
Livingston of the Appropriations
Committee, amount to sz5o,373,zI5
The total appropriations of the
session correctly stated, therefore,
will amount TO SI,oso,s67,osz.
In view Of the estimate Of Mr..
Cannon, made June roth, that the
revenues for the current fiscal year
would amount to but 1920, 900, 600,
the outlook is not encouraging.
That this kind Of financeering will
be counternanced by the people or
that the voters at the fall elections
will indorse the party which has so
reckIessly distributed the public
funds is hardly to be expected.

conascticut Man Declares His Asseas-
ment II Much Too Low.
Robert M. Bruce, one OF the mil
,ionaires OF Greenwich. Conn, a former
:otton broker and q friend Of e. c.
Benedict, has caused surprise by APP
gearing before the board OF assessors
Of the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised so per cent, says
the New York Sun. He said that he
had never paid any attention to the
making ont of his list OF taxable prop
erty, leaving It with the assessors. He
had looked the matter up recently and
mad decided that he was not paying all
that he should into the town treasury
Ind he asked for the raise. The asses
sors promised to comply with his
wishes and it is understood that they
will raise the taxes Of all other mil
,ionaires there to some extent. Mr.
Bruce's example Is the subject Of much
comment. For many years past Green
wich has raised $4,000 by taxation,
md has spent $4,000 more than It
raised. The debt has rolled up TO
nearly 100000. The town appointed
an investigating committee and the
members reported that more money
must be raised by taxation. Fixing up
the taxes Last fall was Pat over until
next spring. The assessors figured up
Inc amount Ct taxable property and An
increase of the tax rate seemed prob
able. Persons who have looked up the
matter say that there appears to be
one law for the poor man and another
tor the rich man. The law says that
each property owner must put In q
true list of the real value OF all prop
ersy, real and personal, but the general
rule among persons Of moderate means
has been to pay on 60 per cent Of aha
value. The nillionaires in some IN
.tances have not paid on 10 per cent o.
sne property.
