The AgitatOr in America.

Mr.. GOmpers was unduly sensitive on the
subject of the word "agitator' as applied
by the Chinese minister. Instead of COM
planning of it, he should have welcomed it.
1t IS good word, and applies in our affairs
to the greatest ends. This is in a very
large sense, a government by agitation.
That is the means employed for keeping
the pool stirred: for calling attention to
abuses. and for securing their correction.
Slavery fell as the result of agitation, and
the Geary law was written on the books as
another result.
There are of course agitators and agita-
tors. Not all are entitled to public respect
In that as in other matters it depends upon
what the agitator has in view. In agitat-
ing for the keeping out of the Chinese Mr.
Gompers is performing an eminent public
service. He could not possibly be better
employed. He is entitled to the gratitude
and cooperation not only of the labor in
terests, which he particularly represents.
but of all American interests. We are all
In that boat, and should welcome whatever
is done for the common welfare.
And what is Mr.. WI but an agftator?
What other character did he assume when
he took the stump and went from place to
place inveighing against the re-enactment
of the Chinese exclusion law? But his agi-
tation was unseemly, because it violated
the proprieties of his official station. He
abused the hospitality of the country, and
presumed upon the interest attaching to an
Asiatic who has mastered the English
tongue and speaks in it with ease and wit
But witty he is in English, he is not
witty enough to get his countrymen admit
ted into the United States

The House War Tax Bill.

The House ma jority, IL is announced viii

OF the remaining war taxes. That was to

expressed would have left the republican
leaders in a most pathetic plight They
are going ahead then in sort of despera-
ton In the circumstances. recording their
votes for the measure in the open House
will add but little to the condemnation
which has already been visited upon their
action in the ways and means committee.
The who had sworn that the horse
was sixteen feet high thought 1t advisable
to stick to the affidavit. The republican
leaders in the House having declared in
committee that the war taxes should go,
and that the public revenues could easily
stand a -million-dollar cut, will
stick to that assertion.
But the Senate will have a word to say
ar the subject, and there are reasons to
believe that the House bill will not pass
that body as drawn. Some very prominent
republican senators are not deeply i'm
pressed with the proposition to cater to the
brewers, the stock gamblers. the circuses,
expense of the national duty to Cuba and
an effort to put curb in the hard mouth
Of the steel and iron trust. This House
bill therefore when it reaches the Senate
will probably be changed to suit the real
necessities of the situation. And so the
end may be that the victory of special in
terests in the House will be changed to a
victory of national interests in the Senate,

the whole country aroused. and both houses

The special interests are threatening the
republicans with defeat next fall unless
their program is carried out. Even the
President has had this warning sounded in
his ears. AS matters now stand, one mans

complexion of the next House. Political
Representation is always difficult. 1t is an
entirely safe calculation, however, that

shape republican policy, is certain to go

TOnguesters of Fortune,

The following dispatch from Boston tells
of a disappointment that the citizens of
that city suffered on Tuesday night:
"A pro-Boer meeting was scheduled for
Faneuil Hall this evening, but the affair
diu not take place. II was said by some of
the people having the affair in charge that
IL was called off Cn account of the inability
20 obtain the hall, but no meeting of any
kind was held In the place tonight An
other story heard about the entrance 10 the
haIl was 10 the effect that Bourke Cochran
VINO was featured as the leading sneaker
would not sit upon the same platform with
advertised speakers
The committee declined TO discuss this
report" inns
Now why should Mr. Cochran draw tba
line at Mr.. Davis? They ars engaged in
the same crusade. Each is giving up his
time and tongue to the Boer cause Mr.
Cochran is by far the better orator. but
pride should find 70 play at such a time
Why cut Mr. Davis? Why shoot the pian-
ist? He is doing the best he can. And IT
may be said in justice to him that he Is
talking, If not SO well. very much in Mr..
Cockran's strain. Mach of what he has
said in his absurd strenuousness since his
return from South Africa bears close like
ness for folly to the speech delivered By
Mr.. Cochran in Chicago several months
ago, in which the New Yorker declared
that President Roosevelt by the mere speak
ing of a word could put an end TO the Boer
war. Why does not Mr.. Cochran hail Mr..
Davis as a friend and imitator. and go

Bue the serious feature Of the matter is
Evening star., 1902-02-06

that while these little jealousies are crop
ping out in the circle of agitators far away
from the dangers of the firing line. the
Beers themselves are still in the field and
still undergoing the hardships of guerilla
warfare. Their persistency is explained in
Europe by the statement that their hopes
of foreign Intervention remain strong. Is
any of this reliance placed upon Mr.. Davis?
Do any of the Beers who met him during
his visit to the Transvaal. and observed
his bosom heaye with Indignation, ana
heard his thunderous promises of setting
his own country afre upon his return, still
expect to hear from him? Do they imagine
him working slowly but successfully to-
ward inducing the United States to step in
and take the war off their hands? If so.
how greatly are they deceived, Their cham
pion is a guy among his own people, and
here is news that another champion has
refused to appear with him in public.
There is reason to believe, too, that the
Beers are quite as poorly served in Europe.
Their champions on the continent succeed
in nothing but in keeping themselves well
advertised, and in getting their yarns wide
ly distributed by wire. Surely never were
fighting men more terribly misled than are
the Beers.

preaching the United States with bullets
instead of petitions. 1t was intimated that
this mistake must be remedied, and that an
underlined period of American training must
be undergone before the Philippines would
be ready for self-government and independ-
ence.
Mr.. Schuman still adheres to these views
as sound and accurate In 1899. But on the
strength of later hearsay evidence he has
modified his opinion concerning the length
of time of necessary Filipino tutelage and
thinks the archipelago should be now at
least promised independence. The national
spirit which he declared did not exist in
1899 when the insurrection was young and
in full vigor and when he was on the scene
and microscopically investigating all per-
tinent conditions he is convinced does now
prevail: and he bases his conviction On the
sweeping terms of General Chaffee's vigor-
Gus denunciation of certain treacherous and
hypocritical Filipino torturers and murder
ers. Mr.. Schurman on this point says:
"Undiscoverable, or at any rate undis-
cerned. If 1t existed, in 1S99 this conscious
ness of nationality Is today so manifest and
powerful that General Chaffee, looking at
1t with the eyes of a military man, has de-
clared, or at least is reported to have de-
clared, that the natives of these islands
are all traitors to American sovereignty,
ali have their hearts set on independence"
The American people will be apt to rate
the opinions of the Schurman of 1899 speak
ing from his own knowledge and observa-
tlon higher than those of the Schurman of
1902, quibblng over Gen. Chaffee's indig-
nant generalities. The Filipinos have not
yet after pacification substituted petitions
for bullets; they have not yet in good faith
undergone the American training which Mr.,
Schurman pronounced essential. A promise
of independence now would be as mislead-
ing and injurious as the abstract of Mr..
Schurman's address now circulating in the
Philippines is likely to be.
Evening star., 1902-02-06

Civility, independence and boorishness are
abstract nouns upon the significance of
which some Americans are confused. The
approach of Prince Henry and the impend-
ing coronation of King Edward have caused
men to writhe who ought to know that
civility is not incompatible with independ-
cree and that boorishness is not essential
to that condition. 1t is the belief of sound
Americans that American institutions will
survive the rude shock of visit from a
prince and the dispatch of an embassy to
the cIowning of king.

General Woods interest in the welfare or

His sympathetic attitude toward the island 8
population Is at least a refutation of the
popular idea that military governor Is a
bloodless and iron-handed autocrat. His
expression of views without censure has
been to certain extent justified by an un-
derstanding of previous conditions all OF
which goes to show that great deal de-
pends on how a thing is done.
