The New York ErentRg Post
very neatly sums up the situation
as to the Presidents recommended
tion for untaXing hard coal. 1t
says: Free anthracite would
open but a small breach in the
taritf-only coal hole-but
through it the alarmed Payne and
the afl'righted Aldrich see free
hides and free lumber and wool
and ores and other necessarieS of
life and of manufactures pouring
like a food. An alternative is
now proposed by one New Eng
land Congressman in the shape
of a rebate of all duties paid on
coal during 1908. That is a fav-
orite trick of protectionists in a
corner. But it is getting to be
too transparent. The implication
is obvious; they do not care any.

OUR RULE IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

Maior-General Adrea r. Chattee,
who for some time has been military
commander in the Philippines, has
with apparant satisfaction set foot upon
his native soil again and his views OF
the situation are not 10y any means
roseate. He says that it will take 100
wears to establish "beneficentn gov
ernment in the Philippines, and that
our prandchidro y children will be
lucky if they see it done in their day.
In order to hold down the Christian
Filipinos in Luzon, he says Manila
must be- garrisoned with an army, and
as for the impossible Mohsmmedans of
Mindaneo and Sulu, they can be kept
quiet only by large pensions, in the
form of tribute from weaker nation,
to the tribal chiefs or sultans
The opinion of this distinguished
soldier naturally carries great weight,
as he won his spurs long before some
of the high-salared officials of the So
called civil government come into ex-
istence. The imperalists al home do
not share these views with General
Chaffee, but the general public will be
| more than likely to take them into con-
Fxideration as it certainly was against
5she wishes of a majority Of the Amer
kican people that we got into the thing
lat all. The Boston Post speaking Of
he matter says: "Instead of the gem
al accept ,nce of American sover-
zsnty 10y the Filipinos and ready
Nelding To the establishment of our
" TENS, there is the prospect of CEN
tHty resistance to subjugation on the
part of the Christians As for the Mo-
hammedaus, they will never submit;
we must pay them tribute-'pensions,'
General Cnsffee calls it-fDrever
sit probably is not :, bad as this
The power If the United States is
great enough to crush out the patriotic
sentiment of ihe Filipinos in less than
100 years. But the cost will be tre-
mendous. General Chaffee speaks
from the military point of view, and
he bases his opinion on existing condi-
tons Doubtless we may be able
to subjugate the Filipinos. But is it
worth the cost? And is it not an in
famous thing to do anyway?

White Man Turned Yellow.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by
the friends of Nj. A. Hogarty, of
Lexington, KY, when they saw
he was turning yellow. His skin
slowly changed color, also his
eyes. and he suffered terribly.
His malady was yellow Jaundice.
He was treated by the best doc
tors, but without benefit. Then
he was advised to try Electric
Bitters, the wonderful Stomach
and Liver remedy, and he writes:
"After taking two bottles | was

New YORK, Dec. 19.-T h e
Standard Oil Company yesterday
raised the price of refined oil one

The price of Kerosene for export
i'll September was s! cents gal

have been recorded by 5, 10 and

price jumped from % cents to 105

This advance in price also af
