A QUARANTINE AT ToRTUGAs.

/ A memorial has been sent 10 Con-
/ gress showing that the best interests
Of the country require that the United
/ States shall maintain a quarantine sta
/ tion at Tortugas. Fla. There was a
/ quarantine station there until Dec.
last, when il was announced that the
station had been temporarily closed.
1t is now the. understanding that the
government has no intention Of again
opening quaraRtine station there, and
that the Navy Department has taken
possession of the place for the purpose
Of using il as a naval coal station. It
has erected buildings. laid cable TO
spent a large amount Of money in
dredging and done various other things
which are necessary TO accomplish the
object Il has in view.
1t seems that the Navy Department
thinks that Tortugas is a wonderful
Florida seems to think that those who
put that notion into the mind of the
Secretary of the Navy knew nothing
about the subject concerning whcn
they constituted themselves an advisory
board; that, in fact, they could never
have seen Tortugas In his opinion,
it is absolutely unfit for any other
purpose than a refuge quarantine sta
tion for which. until recently, it has
been used. If the Navy Department
should carry out its present intentions
with regard to it. the health officer OF
Florida thinks that it would be moth
iug more than "a prison in time of
peace and a nuisance in time of war. -
From his account of it it would be
worse than a nuisance, as far as the
South Atlantic and Gulf ports are con-
cerned in both peace and war. because
it would be but another pest menace.
Yellow fever, in the absence of the nee
essary restrictions. would find it's way
there. and from that point would be
distributed to points in the South At
lantic and Gulf states
This is a matter which Congress
should take into serious consideration.
If Tortugas would be of more benefit
10 the country as refuge quarantine
station than as a naval coal station
then there ought to be no delay. In
making it such a quarantine station.
Without a station of that kind on the
Florida coast there viii be no place
to which ships infected with yellow
fever and other contagious diseases,
and bound for Florida ports, can be
sent. Such ships win likely make
their way to places from which infec-
ton can be spread to the towns and
cities of the mainland.
1t is much more important that there
should be a first-class refuge quaran-
tine station at Tortugas than that the
Navy Department should have costly
coal station there of doubtful value.

PROTECTION WHICH TRUSTS GET

I t'hOIEt1tON W MIN IhtS8s Hk<I.
/ The Republican party refuses TO
touch the tariff question because it is
afraid that if it hits its friends, the
trusts, it will lose their help in the
I congressional elections next fall. The
leaders OF that party tried TO prevent
Representative Babcock of Wisconsin,
Republican. from introducing his
bill providing for a reduction of du-
ties on articles produced by trusts,
and when they failed they turned down
his bill in the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Mr.. Babcock's bill may not be heard
of again during the present session of
Congress. but it will be heard of. to-
gether with the action of the Ways
and Means Committee on 1t. during the
congressional campaign. Mr.. Babcock
understands the sentiment of the peo-
pie of the West regarding the tariff
as it relates to trust-produced arti-
cles. and If he were not satisfied that
1t is in favor of practically putting
such articles on the free list he would
not have been so urgent in respect to
his bill. The Republican party can
not smother the demand for a reduc-
tion of the tariff on articles which
the trusts produce. 1t will find out
later on that the people will make
the ballot box.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney
in the course of an interview a day of
two ago on political and business sub
jects, said "The steel situation
seems very firm, bat it must be borne
in mind that the steel industry enjoys
the benefit of a heavy customs tariff
on imported steel to which it is scarce
ly entitled. We are apie now to pro-
| duce steel in this country cheaper than
it can be produced abroad, notwith-
standing the higher wages paid here.
This has been the case ever since it
| became possible to shovel up the crude
iron ore from the Western mines and
transport it to furnaces along the
Lake front. Nothing like our Lake
| iron industry has ever been seen be-
fore. Yet tariff of s12 ton, as I
recall it. is levied on foreign steel
rails"
The fact that the prices of steel
products are higher in the domestic
then in foreign markets-that is, that
the products of American steel mills
are sold at higher prices at home
than abroad-is very generally known,
and it excites a feeling of Indignation
against the Republican party, because
that party insists on retaining the pro-
tective duties on steel articles. The
earnings of the billion-dollar steel
trust, owing to the enormous prices it
gets for its products in the home mar
ket, amaze the world. The people will
amaze the Republican party next fall
by turning the control of the House of
Representatives over to the Democratic
party.

FORAKER's POSITIVE STATEMENT.

1t is safe statement that Senator
Foraker speaks for the Republican
party SO far as the Philippines are con-
cerned. In the Senate on Thursday,
during the debate on the Philippine
tariff bill, he said: 81 want to say to
the Senator" referring to Senator Till
man, "and to the Senate that our army
will never come back from the Philip
pines until it comes back victorious.
That may as well be understood now
as at any future time. Gentlemen may
rail about it in Congress and out. but
it is fact that all ought by this time
to thoroughly understand"
Are the people back of the position
occupied by the Republican party in
this matter of the Philippines? Would
they have the army withdrawn and the
islands turned over to the Filipinos at
this time if they had the deciding of
that question? 1t is very doubtful If
they would. They might favor saying
that they are willing that the Filipinos
shall have self government as soon as
they demonstrate their ability to gov
ern themselves.
1t seems, therefore, as if there should
be an effort made in Congress to ar
rive at an understanding as to what
is to be the settled policy in regard 10
the islands. The present wrangling in
Congress is costing this government
men and money, is retarding peace in
the islands and is keeping the Filipinos
from pursuing a course calculated to
prepare them for government. AS
far as can be judged at present there
is no strong public sentiment in favor
of Withdrawing our army from the ISL
ands. 1t is doubtful if the Democratic
party would withdraw it if it were In
power. What that party would do,
however, is this. 1t would let the Fill
pinos understand that they would be
granted government as soon as
they were able to manage their own
affairs and take care of themselves. No
greater wrong could be done them at
this time than to withdraw our army
and let them shift for themselves. They
would be in the midst of a civil war at
once and would soon be grabbed by
one or more of the Powers of Europe.
