pablo and barefaced that even that
stalwart republican paper, the Inter
Ocean, cries out against it. In late
editorial it says: "The most scandal
Gus spectacle of American public life
today is that afforded by the special
and peculiar privileges enjoyed by
Henry Il. Oxnard, chief sugar lobby
ist in the capitol at Washington.
Mr.. Oxnard it must be remembered
is private ci tizen. He holds no Off
cial position whatever. He has legally
or normally no greater rights about
the capitol than any other private cit
izen. tlook at the privileges Mr..
Oxnard is permitted to enjoy.
Early in the present session, by
grace of the Hon. Jas. Tawney, chair
man of the committe on Industrial
arts and expositlons, Mr.. Oxnard was
permitted to make the room of the
committe virtually his private Office.
From it he directed the campaign in
the house against justice to Cuba and
against the Roosevelt policies.
When the Cuban bill had passed the
house Mr.. Oxnard moved over to the
senate wing and was provided with
even more commodious private Offices
The rooms of the privileges and cleo
tt ons and interstate commerce COM
mittees adjoin and connect. BY grace
of the Hon. Stephen B. Elkin and the
Hon. Julius Caesar Burrows, chairmen
of these committees, their rooms were
practically given up to Mr.. Oxnard
from which to continue his campaign.
Lately, Mr.. OXnard has grown more
bold and his senatorial friends more
subservient. The marble room, So
called, is the general reception room
for visitors to senators. II you wish
to see senator while senate is in SEES
sion you send your card and he sends
back his card which admits you to the
marble room for interview. There is
a standing rule that no one except
members OF congress, is to be admitted
| to the marble room without permits
| lion from o senator.
This rule, however, has been relaxed
in favor of Mr.. Oxnard. he walks in.
to the marble room whenever he
pleases, sits down and sends for the
senators to whom he wishes to give
instructions. And there about eight
cen senators who promptly obey the
summons and deferentially listen to
his commands.
From his place in the marble room
Henry T. Oxnard issues his orders and
his senatorial henchmenh hear and obey
Among his friends in the marble room
Henry Il. O1nard sits and boasts how
he has beaten the administration,
compelled the republican party to dc
his will, and thwarted the desire O.
the American people to do justice tt
| Cuba.
| Such is the scandalous condition
presented visibly every day to all OBJ
servers in the capitol at Washington.
What are the American people going
to do about it? What are they going
to do with the senators and represen
tatiyes who have thus enthroned |

The republican party is for presi-
dent Roosevelt and reciprocity; also,
the republican party is for high pro-
lection and president Roosevelt.
Again, the republican party is Cuba IS

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

The Littleton (New Zealand) Times, IN
a recent issue, contains a dispatch from
Auckland, reporting the proceedings OF the
trade and labor council, held at the lat
ter place, which gives a fiat denial to the
frequent assertions that the New Zea-
land system of compulsory arbitration is
a, failure and not popular. Says the dls-
match among other things ut was re-
solved by the council to forward TO the
railway employees union Of San Fran
cisco, Cal, q. letter congratulating it on
the result of the recent strike, and also
a copy of the New Zealand labor laws.
In the letter it is stated that the concilia-
ton and arbitrat ton act has annihilated
strikes in New Zealand, and that no en-
actment Of the % instituted here in the
interests of labor is SO much cherished
by u.s. We commend it to our fellow
workmen in America as the Magma Char
ia of labor"
To say the least, this should stimu-
late the influential representatives of both
capital and labor in this country, to most
thorough study of the New Zealand sys-
tenn. We are by no means satisfied that
compulsory arbitration would be prac-
ticable under our institutions, but there
could be no harm in an investigation Of
that question by the two great elements
more directly interested in it.

VIRGINIA SHIP BUILDING.

The Newport News silip-yard having
made the lowest bid for building the new
battie-ship Louisiana, the Press of that
city is satisfied it will get the contract.
And this, says our contemporary, would
mean that something over S1,5O0,00O will
be dumped into its city in wages
surely, pleasing prospect.
But what about the rest of the money
the difference between the contract price
and the 81, 100000 ard over in wages? A
greater part Of it will go out of Virginia
for material used in ship-building which
could be, and should be, produced in the
State When will the same enterprise
that has developed ship-bEilding within
our borders to its present proportions
also develop in the State great ship-yard
supply plants, and thus keep at home
practically all the money we receive for
ship construction? AS it is, only a
certain percentage of the price paid for
the ships we turn out remains in Vir-
GINA. The balance goes to the enrich
ment of northern plants whose output
enters into ship-building.

PANAMA CANAL TITLE.

Can Undoubtedly Convey 1t.
IN Y Sun.l

W L.
William Nelson Cromwell. general coun-
sell for the Panama Canal Company, who
returned on TUESDAY on the North Ger
man liner Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
gave out further statement regarding
his work in Paris connected with the
proving of the company's title. His state
ment said in part:
I assert that the title Of the new Pan
anna Canal Company to the property pro-
posed to be conveyed is valid, absoiute
and unuuestionable; that the power OF
the new company to convey to the United
States with the concurrence of Colombia
is full and complete: that the new COM
pany is in no sense liable for the obllga-
tons of tue old company; that the con-
sent of France is not necessary; that the
United States. will not become liable IN
any sense, legal or moral. for the obllga-
tons of the old company; and that no
compiled tons can possibly arise to the
United States from the acquisition OF the
property; and that it will acquire an alb
solute and valid title, free and clear
from any legal or equitable CLAIMS upon
the part of the bondholders, creditors or
stockholders of the old company.
In my judgment, it only remains to con-
clude treaty with Colombia to fully sat
isfy the provisions of the Spooner law.
That treaty has been nearly agreed upon.
only three or four points being still under
discussion. The present troubles on the
Isthmus have no bearing upon the ques-
ton When the United States concludes
a treaty with Colombia. it will be an easy
matter for the United States to protect
the zone over which 1t will acquire spe-
cial rights, and the Isthmus will re-
joice in the composure and security which
will follow such a conclusion.

Philadelphia Leads Old Clothes
Trade.

New York Commercially
Philadelphia is said to do bigger bus
mess in old clothes-that is, of course in
the cast-off or second arJl third-hand
clothes of mcmillan any other city on
the American Continent 1t is the centre
OF the trade in the East, and the buyers
of New York-men with their bags from
Canal, Hester, and Baxter streets-and
from all over the Middle States work
the City of Brotherly Love for old clothes
every business day of the year. These
outsiders number nearly 600 on an ave-
rage.
The capital invested in the old-clothes
trade of Philadelphia aggregates $500. 600.
There are about 1000 fourishing retail
stores, and the average value Of their
stocks is set by experts in the trade at
5000. Each Of a half dozen stores car
ries goods valued at $4,000 OF $4,000.
Each store gives employment to- three
persons on an average-the proprietor.
his wife, and the "busheller." or member.
In all there are fully 5000 in the retail
shops.
Then there are at least two hundred
men who year after year go from door.
to door bargaining for and collecting
the cast-off raiment OF householders.
These are the old-clothes men proper
the men celebrated in song and story
and joke for hours of pickering over
scent piece.
The auction rooms number fifty, and
each keeps three men ousy all day long
trying to get the better of the retailers,
who buy the greater part of the goods
offered. Each auctioneer carries mer-
chandise valued at from $4,000 to $4,000,
and nearly all run a sort of wholesale
business to supply out-of-town trade.
The door-to-door buyers make any
where from so to 200 per cent. They
have rents to nSnallV keeDlno
their stocks ir the rooms where they
sleep and eat. Many of them watch for
signs of mourning on the door of dwell
ng-houses, and as soon as the funeral
is over go there and offer. to buy the
dead persons clothing-if man. Ere
quently they get for 81 or SIS an outfit
that cost originally anywhere from 5000
to $500.
The New York habit of living in flats
shuts out the door-to-door men from
following up buying very generally here
in the metropolis. Philadelphia is city
of ''homes''-of dwelling-houses-and
door-men. bell-boys, and janitors don't
shut peddlers and solicitors out.
washington used to be a good second
hand town. said an old-clo' Philadel-
phian to a newspaper correspondent the
other day. but it isn't any more. Every
body there is clerk, and a clerk wears
out his clothes in places that make 1t
impossible for the trickfest busheller
alive to make EN- look like new. re-
fer to coat sleeves and seat.
Baltimore is worse. The men there
wear their clothes too long. We can't
make rags over into old clothes. despite
popular belief.
"Pittsburg gets it's clothes filled with
Crime from the iron mills. Securing and
cleaning eat up profits. And Boston.
with its big. strange. words-waistcoat
for vest and trousers for pants-scares
away the simpre-minded and simple
tongued old-clothes man.
'sAs for New York, most of the we'll
to-do men there give their old clothes
away. I am told-and that spoils BUST
ness"

Refinement in Burglary.

On. Y. Sum-
Burglars should always be polite, but
some of them are carrying refinement Of
manners to the point of insolence. For
example, the burglar who made bust
ness call at a house in Tnirty-frst street
Monday. For twenty minutes he search
ed the house for keepsakes. Meanwhile
outside, one man was looking for a po-
liceman and another man was waiting for
the caller to come out; and, inside, the
burglar alarm was sputtering away and
not alarming the burglar. At the end of
that time ne came down the steps calmly,
lighted a cigar, walked jauntiy past the
watcher and disappeared We should
hate to be convinced that a gentlemanly
burglar can be ungentlemanly but it
was insulting to the watcher to saunter
by him, and the cigar was a detail posi-
lively arrogant and hard to excuse
Placid Indifference may be carried too
far. The police have feelings that ought
to be considered; and except in dining
rooms when there is plenty of leisure and
the cellar is good, no burglar who re-
spects the best aims and traditions of his
profession will permit himself to smoke
a cigar while he is on duty Anything
savoring Of hravado or disdain of the in
feriors will be avoided by the best
burglars.

their lot IN life has been cast; who are
the natural rulers of the country, and
who will assert and maintain that right

peace must be preserved.
This is a matter in which our entire

this. some OF the Republican organs are
nara ding 3. contention that under Re-
publican administration times are always
good business always prosperous, ana
everybody makes money, while under 9
Democratic administration ruin seizes me
land.
But that contention does not co-ordl-
nate with the facts as our independent.
contemporary presents them from the
cold record. These facts are as follows:
The period of dreadful trade depression
and panic which began in 1873 ana iasteo
six years fell entirely within the autllil-
istra tons of Grant and Hayes, pot!i 1.e-
publicans, and there were general sWSep
ine reductions of wages; also there were
panicky times and marked cnecKs 70
prosperity in 1884, under the admlnlsua-
ton of Arthur, and in 1890. under the ad-
ministration Of Harrison The great
Homestead strike occurred in 1892, the
last year of the administration of Ben
iamin Harrison and that strike was or
dered because the men refused to accept
lower wages, notices of reductions having
been posted in the works. Last but not
least, the panic and trade depression
which began in 1888 was, as every candid
man now admits, an inheritance from the
preceding Republican administration.
Whether or not 1t can be demonstrated
that there has never been a strike on ac-
count of the enforcement of Repubi1-
can policy''-and Foraker's assertion is
ra Their elusive onc-certain it is that some
of the most serious strikes the country
has ever known have occurred "hlle
the Republicans were in power. And GER
tain it is. Furthermore, that some OF our
longest and worst seasons of trade ana
Industrial depression have been during
Republican administrations, or, as IN the
case of 1888, legacies thereof.
