STREAMING THE LAW.

Philadelphia Record: The ruling
of the postofice department that a
subscription to a newspaper entitled
to second class rates and paid for by
n person to be sent to another per-
son with the latters' consent is not a
legitimate subscription, entitled to
pound rates. but must be stamped in a
separate package and prepaid as third
class matter at the rate of / cent for
each four ounces, is obviously a strain
ed Interpretation of the law. The sub
scriber to the paper may have it sent
to his agent. or his wife or his mother
in-law for purposes strictly personal.
1t is a matter of business into which
neither the publisher nor the carrier
can rightfully inquire. The attempted
twist given to the law by the depart
ment is far-fetched, meddlesome and
| mischievous.

pleasure of welcoming the nations

which that invitation was accorded
could leave no doubt in the mind of
the president of the sincerity of those
who desire that he be their guest.
while at the same time it was notice
to Tillman that they had nc part in
any personal matters that he might
allow to interfere with his actions
as their governor.
The refusal of Major jenkins to
accept the sword after Tillman's
gratuitous insult to the president and
the resolutions of the exposition ex-
ecutive committee and the city council
of Charleston denouncing the action
of the lieutenant governor must have
put that distinguished gentleman in
"a frame of mind that can be anything
but agreeable. No doubt Major Jen-

the president visits it and will also
take occasion to shake his old com

assurance of his broad Americanism
and respect for the head of the nation,
regardless of any petty malice and
spite the Tillmans may have against
him.

FRIDAY MARCH Z, 1902.
HOW NEWS GROWS.

In the Tillman-McLaurin affair evil
dence is furnished once more OF the
wonderful manner in which news
grows by travel. The story of the
row has reached the Philippines, but
instead of being told to the trusting
and confiding natives in the simple
ity OF its actual truth, it has assum-
ed the proportions of a civil war and
the commanders of the insurrectos
use it as a basis for further appeal
to their followers to resist the author
ity of the United States and continue
their Guerrilla mode of warfare. Till
mand and McLaurin are the command
ers of armies and the anti-imperialists,
presumably under the command of a
Williams, Pettigrew or some other
prominent and trucculent" anti" are
besieging Washington. CDR" Bryan
is advertising his Commoner for sale,
preparatory to assuming the duties Of
president, to succeed Theodor Roose-
welt.
But this is not all: While we are
entertaining his brother the kaiser is
preparing to supply the insurgents
with rifles and ammunition without
end and Russia is getting ready to
declare war against us and sink every
last one of our high priced warships.
The pope has regained temporal pow
er to the extent of commanding the
president to furnish more chaplains
to the army in the islands so that
fewer Americans may go direct to
the Internal regions on transportation
furnished by the i~nsurrectos.
Were it not possible that such silly
and absurd stories are calculated to
cause a continuation of the war in the
Philippines the reading of them would
furnish more amusement than the
best effort ever put forth by a pro
fessional humorist. The knowledge
that they will probably result in the
needless sacrifice of more human
lives will deprive them of their humol
and sorrow must fill the minds Of al
to think that men who are held up tt
us as the equals of any for intelli
gence can be SO lily informed on thu
events of the world as to believe them

OF COURSE NOT.

Nashville American: If Mr.. Lin
coin were president, today, his Philip
pine policy would not be affected by
any acknowledgements theory.
He would weep no tears over the
Filipinos with guns in their hands
fighting American soldiers. but would
urge the American forces to unre-
lenting activity until they compelled
peace in those islands. That was his
policy when fighting the south, and
against a people among whom he was
born. for whom he had the kindliest
personal feelings, and against whom
in all the rancor of political debate
and bloody war he never uttered a
word of bitterness or hate.

is RESUMED.

The adoption by the house of a reso-
luton favoring the election of United
States senators by direct vote and
the evident unwillingness Of the SEN
ate committee on privileges and cleo
lions. to whom the resolution has been
committed, to make a report upon it,
either favorable or unfavorable, has
caused many of the newspapers of
the country to again devote consider
able space to a discussion of the ques-
ton. All the comment that has come
under the notice Of The Gazette is
favorable to the proposition and the
criticism of the senate committee is
in many instances evere.
The apparent hostility of the COM
mittee but reflects the sentiment of
the larger portion of the body of
which it is a part. Many CT the men
occupying seats in the senate are we'll
aware that had their election been
left to the people of their respective
states they would never have attained
to the dignity of the position they
now occupy. Legislatures may be de-
ceived, or worse, but the people can
be relied upon to do that which is
right. They may err occasionally,
but the proportion of errors as COM
pared with the number of times that
they do the right thing is so small as
to be unworthy of notice. 1t is be-
cause of the very wrongs set forth
in the house resolution that a major
ity of the senators are opposed to any
change in the method of their cleo
ton. Were it not for those wrongs
the demand for popular election
would not be so great as it has be-
come.
Conditions have changed since the
adoption of the constitution and men
have changed as well. BY placing the
election of senators directly with the
people the fabric of our government
will rest upon a broader foundation
than it now does, for, it will be even
closer to the people than it now is.
The power now delegated to an in
termediary will be exercised by the
people direct and to that extent will
the government be more of a govern
ment by the people and OF the people.

ONE SIDED RECIPROCITY.

The advocates of reciprocity with
Candada a take only cold comfort
from the position assumed by the
Canadians themselves, Judging from a
resolution offered in the dominion par
lament by John Charlton. a mem
Der of the joint high commission, a
body representing the dominion and
the United States and which for sew
eral years past has been endeavoring
to agree upon some satisfactory set
Element of the matters in dispute be-
tween the two governments. Mr..
Charlton's idea of reciprocal trade re-
lations are not such as are to likely
gain for him many adherents on this
side of the line. He would like reel
procity, but all on one side. In the
resolution offered by him is a provi-
sion for a rebate of 40 per cent upon
dutiable goods entering Canada from
countries that admit Canada's natural
products free; it also further provides
for an INCREASE in the tariff when
found necessary to sufficiently pro-
tect established Canadian industries
that would be affected by the rebate.
Plainly put, MI. Charlton wants
Canadian natural products admitted
into the United States free of duty,
in return for which Canada will re-
duce it's duties on our exports 40 per
cent, or a little less than half the reg
ular rates. If this is all-the conces-
sions the exporters of this country
need look for from our northern neigh
bors it is not very likely that any
strenuous efforts will be made to
further the cause of reciprocity in that
direction.

columns of the daily newspapers in
the progressive cities of the country

certain proof that advertising pays.

without their defense he would be
without a single friend among the

lief as himself. Here is what the Co
lumbar State, the leading democratic
newspaper of South Carolina, has to
say anent the two senator's:
"There are two things about this

second is why Senator Tillman should
develop a 'tiger-like ferocity' in the
senate at being called a liar, When in
times past he has repeatedly accepted
that epithet on the South Carolina
stump with the gentle meekness of
a lamb or the lofty, serene repose Of
a statesman. Surely Senator McLau-
rim knows that his colleague has re-
peatedly charged him in South Caro-
party for the federal patronage-yet
he now treats that charge as if it were
a new and sudden affront to be re-
scented instantly, even to the destruc-
ton of the dignity of the senate. And
surely Senator Tillman remembers
to tempt his memory further-that

LAW is VALID.

The court of last resort has declared
the anti gambling law of the state
to be valid and vindicated it's consti-
nationality. The technical objection
raised against the law has been swept
away and all who hereafter may be
arrested, and convicted under the law
may as well be prepared to take the
consequences. The fight made by the
gamblers of Butte was a hard and de-
termined one, but the decision al
against them. The hope of the appel
liant in the case was based upon the
proper definition of the words paid

various dictionaries and for them
selves constituting the intent of the
trainers of the law, the judges of the
supreme court arrived at the conclu-
sion that the meaning of the two
words was the same. While a de-
PENDANT may not be able to pay
