FIRST ESTABLISH STABLE FORM
OF GOVERNMENT.
Gov. TAFT |NTEROCA7ED
Thinks Philippine independence Would
End In Anarchy and Over
throw of Vested Rights.

Washington, Feb. Ex-Governor
Taft today continued his statement to
the senate committee. He advocated
the establishment of a stable govern
ment for the present, with the under
standing that at some time in the
future the Americans and FilipinOs
could reach an agreement as to what
should be done in the way of govern
ment or in maintaining relations.
But he said, whether the islands
should have their independence,
whether they should be given a quasi
independence, or whether they should
be made a state of the union is so far
in the future that I have reached no
conclusion. The great evil of the time
with reference to the Philippines is
the current discussion of their flu
lures so long before it a be fixed
Replying to a question by Senator
Carmack. he said. that he had not con-
sidered the problem of possible state
hood so years hence. He would not
favor a promise even that a form of
government such as is given the ter
ritories of the United States would be
established. He also said he was OPP
posed to extending the power of leg
islation to these islands.
In reply to a number of questions by
Senator McComas. based upon the
democratic substitute for the Philip
pine tariff bill, Governor Taft said
that to turn the government of the
archipelago over to the Filipinos,
as therein proposed, would in his opin-
ion result in anarchy and in the dis
turbance of vested rights to such an
extent as to render it necessary for
the United States to resume it's con-
troll with all the work to do over
again that had been done in the last
two years. He had no doubt. how
ever, that the Filipinos could form a
government such as they had under
Aguinaldo.

ROSEBERY ANNOUNCES A
CHANGE OF HEART.
Baked AT LAST DEMAND
In His Liverpool Speech the Last Lib
eral Premier Declares
Himself. .

Liverpool, Feb. 14.-Lord Rosebery
received a tremendous ovation at the
great liberal demonstration here this
evening. His lengthy speech, the
principal one of the evening, was at
tentively received and heartily ap
plauded. He failed to throw any fresh
light on the war situation, but he
strongly emphasized his hostility to
the Irish party and his desire to ut
terly ALLEVIATE it from the liberal
campaign.
During his remarks Lord Rosebery
said thai the greatest change in heart
and head undergone during his five
years absence from public life was in
regard to the Irish problem. Mr..
Gladstone's bills were dead and bur-
led, though that statement cast no re-
Election on the great statesman who
originated them. The Irish party had
now Indignantly repudiated any con
nection with the liberal party and he
believed they had acted wisely. It
was both to their interests and to
those Of the liberal party. The Irish
leaders had played their full hand.
They had demanded an independent
parliament in Dublin and thereupon
he had cried halt" This remark
vas greeted with applause.
Continuing Lord Rosebery said: 81
am not prepared at any time or under
any circumstances to grant. them an
Independent parliament, no sane per-
son would ever consent to handing
over the destinies Of Ireland, situated
in the very heart of the empire, to a
parliament controlled by those who
have expressed the earnest wish that
we might be ~overthrown in battle.
The Irish question is too large for
any one party. 1t will need the energy
and the patriotism of both great par
ties to deal Herewith. These are my
personal sentiments. but I wish to
make them perfectly clear on return.

rouse.

Washington, Feb 14.-Tne mo-
notony of a private pension day of
the house was e%nliveneG today by a
very sensational speech by Mr..
Wheeler of Kentucky in denunciatiOn
of what he denominated "1unkeyism'
to foreign countries. He took the re-
cent statements eliminating from CONT
mental cabinets regarding the attitude
of Great Britain during the Spanish
war as a text for a wholesale attack
upon the trend of our recent diplo-
macy. He severely scored Secretary
Hay and declared that if Lord Paunce-
fote had sought. as was alleged, to
circumvent us during the war of 1898,
the sooner he was shipped across the
the president for his reported inten-
ton to send his daughter to the cor
%onation of King Edward and protested
against the official reception Of Prince
Henry.
His speech aroused the house to a
high pitch of excitement and elected
from Mr.. B%outelle of Illinois a spirited
defense of Secretary Hay, whom he
%eulogized in high terms.
Several other members of the re-
publican side took a hand and later
in the afternoon Mr.. Grosvenor of
Ohio, took Mr.. Wheeler to task for
his "inopportune protest" and re-
hearsed the history of the visit of the
| Prince of Wales to this country in
1860, and mis- reception by President
Buchanan.
During the day 1875 private pension
| bills were passed in 81 minutes.

THRESH OVER OLD STRAW.
Civil Service Question Brought Uu in
Senate.

Senate.
Washington, Feb. 15.-During the
entire session today the senate had
under consideration the bill estab-
fishing a permanent census office. 1t
was not completed and an agreement
was reached to take it up again imme-
diately after the executive session
that is to be held on Monday next for
the consideration of the Danish
treaty.
The great contest of the day, of
course, was over the transfer to the
classified service of the employees of
the census office who are to be retain
ed in the permanent establishment.
It involved the entire civil service
question and the debate covered much
of the ground that heretofore has been
gone over.

tic Of American wives is to affect in
difference to the financial standing
of their husbands. That there are
such wives will be admitted.
But for one such there are hun
dred who insist upon knowing how
much money her husband can allow
his family, that she may keep the
family expenses within the limit.
The Henry James sort of writer's
seem to desire to convey the impress
sion that the only circle of society
with which they associate is the cir
Gle in which wives do not need to

AMERICAN WIVES.

Henry James is supposed to have
said a rather smart thing when he
remarked:
''The American wife knows moth
ing of her husbands affairs-except
that they are not of the slightest
consequence"
Ainslie's magazine says
"This is both. epigrammatical and
exactly true"
In this way false impressions be
come fixed in the unthinking mind
The average American wife, at
least the average western American
wife-knows a great deal about hel
husbands affairs until she finds her
self relieved from the necessity OF
solving the problem of income and
outgo
When that point is reached she
has such confidence in her husband
that she lets him paddle unaided the
family canoe.
But compared to the whole mum
Der, very few western American
wives can draw On the family purse
at all.
The mischief of such epigrams as
Mr.. James has put in circulation lies

THE ELECTION.

A veritable republican landslide is
the only term which properly de-
scribes the result of yesterdays cleo
ton. From the Atlantic to the Pa
cific the wires bring the same story
of republican victory. The only vari-
alton to the story being in a few of the
rock-ribbed democratic states of the
south. Members of congress were
elected in all the states excepting
Maine, Oregon and Vermont those
states having elected republican mem
bers earlier in the year Full state
tickets were elected in 81 states, and
minor officers in II of the others
The democrats will still have fair
sized minority in the national house
of representatives and the leaders
of that party viii be glad that the re-
sponsibility for legislation may be
placed upon the republicans, as the
latter will control all branches of the
government.
The chief factor. in bringing about
the republican victory was no doubt
the cry of prosperity. The people
were willing to let well enough alone.
Expansion, the trusts, and other ques-
lions of political economy were of
little account when weighed in the
scales against fat pocketbook Mon
tana is right in line with other states,
as the next legislature will be repub-
lican, and both Holloway and Dixon
were elected. Lack of confidence In

element in bringing about this re
suit. The people have seen him be
tray every friend who ever helped
him, and they refused to follow his
leadership, even when his dollars
were scattered like snowfiakes.
Locally, the result was even worse
for the democrats, for they saved no
more than two or three of the count.

A PRINCE AND---A MAN.

| A few months ago Prince Henry of
Germany visited America.
| After leaving his native land, and
at every stage of his journey, which
was made in magnificent wheeled
and floating palaces, his advance was
hailed with music and flaming news
paper headlines, the firing of can
non on his arrival in New York har-
Dor, and the city was resplendent in
decorations for his welcome
His triumphal tour across the con
tinent was series of bewildering
successes, and at each stopping place
magnificent military parades escorted
him, and sumptuous banquets were
served in his honor:
The nation appropriated money to
defray the expense of his entertain
ment and the people contributed lib
orally for the privilege of gazing on
this bespangled prince1lng of the
house of Hohenzollern.
Now comes Professor Lorenz of
Vienna, a surgeon of experience and
ability, who made long journey to
relieve of accidental deformity the
little body of a Chicago infant and
restore it to symmetry and useful
ness
No demonstration of appreciation
was made at the approach of this
man whose life is spent for human
ity. No awnings were spread for his
protection, no garlands of flowers
strewn at his feet No society events
where were gathered the beauty of
the chivalry" of America, but in
stead the operating table of the hos
| pital where dozens of children have
been cured by him, without cost to
the parents.
The business of Prince Henry, as
an officer of the army, is to kill, to
MAIN and cause suffering.
The mission of Professor Lorenz
is to relieve the unfortunate.
Tens of thousands of dollars were
expended to entertain the prince,
while the city of Chicago has ex-
acted a SIS license fee from the pro
fessor.
We fete the destroyer, while we
curtail the usefulness of the restorer.
We laud physical prowess, and silent
ly ignore scientific achievement.
Prince Henry has behind him a
long line of non-producing marital an
cestors, representing the glories OF
destructive force.
Professor Lorenz is surrounded by
an army of restored children, repre-
senting sympathy and service for the
race.
And yet Americans fall down and
worship the bearer or title of no
bility, while they silently pass by
the workers, the helpers and the men
of personal worth.
Who said princely rulers and kings
were going out of fashion.
