Colon, Colombia, Nov. 3-Nearly
1,5O0 Colombian troops boarded a train
at Colon Saturday afternoon for
point on the railroad line, and it was
rumored that they were to leave the
cars near Tabernilla station. Several
hundred insurgents are reported to be
at San Pablo (about half way across
the isthmus) and in the surrounding
hills. \ large number of rebels also
has been seen Off and on at all stations
between Tabernilla and Culebra.
United States Flag Absent.
For the first time since the United
States forces undertook to maintain
free transit across the iSthmus the
train which left here Saturday after
noon with government troops did not
fly the United States flag, nor were
any United States marines on aboard it.
The troops boarded the cars in the
usual manner-that is, armed and car

They travelled on open cars. Nearly
thousand troops left Panama also Sat

the transportation of troops, as it is
considered impossible to end the strife
on the heiSthmus if skirmishing along the

ment. There is much speculation here
regarding the inSurgent General Her
rera's course of action in view of the
new policy of the government.

Clash Over the New Church.

The body of a native woman who
was attended at her death by priests
of the Catholic Church of the Phil
ippineS, was refused interment at the
Paco cemetery. which is owned by the
Roman Catholic church. There was a
scene at the cemetery and the police
We're called in to maintain order. In
retaliation for this refusal of inter
ment Bishop Aglicipa and other lead
ers of the Schismatic movement are
discussing Il plan to appeal to the
courts to obtain possession of certain
churches and other property in the
Philippines.
Remedy Proposed for the Trouble.
This independent church movement
is being watched closely in government
and political circles. The extent of the
detection of native clergy and their lay
adherents from the church of Rome is
not known, but it is claimed that Il
majority of the native clergy SYM
pathiZes with the movement. The ap-
pointment of United States archbish-
op in the Philippines, however. and the
'AmericaniZation' of the Roman
Catholic church here, with clear def
inition of the status of the native cler-
CIV, would turn the tide of both clergy
and laity in favor of the Roman Catho-
iIc church

Samuel J. Tilden was in some ways the most remarkable democratic pol;- tician New York has seen since the old days of Martin Van Buren and Silas Wright Some chapters ill his life we recall with pleasure. He assisted ill the overthrow of Tweed; at a time of dangerous public excitement he su- bordinated his personal ambition to his patriotism; and his last notable public utterance was an earnest ap- peal for the fortifying of our then un- protected coasts.-Hartford Courant.
 Surely Tilden was remarkable and law. abiding citizen. The presidency was stolen from him, and had some of the hot heads of the present day been ill his place in TIC there would have been bloodshed. Even in Connecticut a crowbar was brought into play not many years ago by q gentleman who wanted to add emphasis to what he called his rights, and to enable him to hold a position that the people did not want him to fill. Had it been TiNman, for instance instead of Tilden, can anyone imagine what the result would have been?
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-02-17

The wisdom of the democratic sen Philippine question, says an exchange, until all had time to express thelr opinions on the subject, has been jus tified i'll the divergent interests which are beginning to manifest themselves on the republican side ot the chamber. In the face of the tes- timony of Governor Taft and of the contentious of the republican sena- tors that the Filipinos are contented with the existing state of affairs, there has been received a petition from the federal party in the islands, signed by 100000 of the more prom inent citizens, requesting that the is lands be made an integral part of the United States and given q territorial course, is not at all in line with the republican designs, but it has pro- duced considerable effect on the more who are beginning to realize that their colonial policy is impractical and that unless they accord the Fili- pinos territorial rights and hold out to them the prospect of ultimate cit izenship they are likely to have a continuous insurrection on their hands and one that will increase rather than diminish. With Senator Foraker urging q reduction of 75 per cent of the Dingley- tariff rates and Senator Mitchell demanding q reduc- tion of 30 per cent, the outcome of the present bill is hard to predict, but whatever the republicans deter mine upon they have the strength to carry. A more serious contest will be precipitated, however, when the Philippine government bill comes up for consideration.

planed by hand, and so on. Also the cost of transporting materials was vastly greater than it now would be. So of a whole city or country Con- necticut, if sold to-day in one lot at it's full market value. would bring but a fraction of the cost of making it what it is, even after we have deducted all the labor whose results have been used up and exhausted or superseded. We could take such a district now in it's wilderness condition and make out of it the Connecticut of today in one lot at it's full market toll. Thus the ac- cumulated and accumulating results of past labor are steadily and constantly falling in value, through the improve ment in the methods of productions
 Part of these results are farms, which, is now rented, bring less than fair interest on the cost of making them, and of creating the adjacent facilities which add to their value. Part of these results is capital, which also grows cheaper, and commands small CT return in the great industrial part nerships of the working world, in which labor is the other partner. Ed ward Atkinson, in his book on the sDi- vision of Profits,'' shows that the law of distribution is exactly confirmed by the figures furnished by the ledgers of the cotton mills of New England dur ing the half century 1S30-1SS0. Of the joint product of labor and capital in that case, namely, cotton cloth, the la borer's share in wages has steadily risen, and that taken by capital has as steadily fallen. Capital has become cheaper to the laborer. Things fall in value while man rises. That is the law of nature in economic matters"

Since the passage of the majority anti-oleomargarine bill by the national house of representatives that body has been engaged in the consideration of private bills ''doing odd jobs," as one of the members expressed it when asked what was going on inside. To- day the ways and means committee will consider the Cuban reciprocity question, not because it wants to, but beacuse the unpalatable truth has been forced upon the committee tkat, in the words of member, it must, or the senate will" It is probable the com mittee will report some measure of re lief to Cuba. What its terms will be cannot be foretold, but, whatever they are, they will be made to conform to the well known views of the president when the measure is taken up in the senate committee.
Waterbury Democrat., 1902-02-17

Concerning the law of distribution as advocated by the socialists q writer for a New York paper says that the whole subject was formulated by Henry c. Carey. It starts from the principle that the price of any ordinary com- modity is determined by the cost, not of producing, but of replacing it. At short intervals the two are the same or nearly so. But with every lapse of time the cost of replacing it falls be- low the cost of producing it, through improvements of methods and machin- cry. An old house, even if as conven- tent. and suitable as modern one, will
 not bring what it cost, as the brick in it was made by hand, the stone cut by hand, the wood sawed in a sawpit and

 England and Japan have entered an alliance, defensive and offensive, against foreign aggression in China and Korea, to safeguard the interests of the two countries entering the alli- ance.

 If the bill providing for new cabi- net officer to head a department of commerce and industry is passed by the house there will then be nine cabi- net officers.

The office of secretary of the navy was created nine years later. or in 119S; that of the interior in 1S49, and of agriculture i'll 1889.
