The Cook County, Illinois, Marching
club, stopped in Charlotte last Sunday
on it's way to Charleston, remaining
over from 7.SO o'clock in the evening
until o'clock next morning. Because
it was Sunday, there was no speech
making or other official demonstration,
and some of the dispatches have it that
the members of the club were not
pleased with their treatment. The &C
count that the Charlotte Observer
gives of the clubs stay in the city,
does not indicate, however, that there
was any lack of proper hospitality.

by the president and confirmation by
the senate Of Ben Daniels, Rough Ri
der, to be Pnited States marshal for Ari-
Zona, has made great stir. The pres
ident picked Daniels because of his gal
lantry in service in the war with Spain.
That was all right, Of course, but 1t
seems that the war record is not the
only interesting chapter in Daniels's
career. He has been a bad man in the
west, has killed a man and been shot
up and had his ear chewed off. These
things. the president knew, but he be-
just the right sort for marshal of the
territory, where there is considerable
wickedness to be found, requiring a
firm hand and cool head to cope with
properly. So the president named Dan
ie!s for the place and sent the nomina-
tion to the senate. The judiciary COM
mittee, presided over by that son of
the Pilgrims, Senator Hoar. examined
into the case and found no flaw in Dan
iels's record, despite his shooting and

PITY the Poor Filininns,

President Schurman Of Cornell Uni

the Nineteenth Century Club in New
York, on Dec. ii, gave a pitiful picture
Of conditions in the Philippines, which
is much at variance with the optimistic
picture drawn by President Roosevelt
in his message to Congress. Prof
Schurman said: ''The Filipinos are the
victims OF famine, pestilence, whole
sale loss Of farm animals by disease,
depression Of agriculture. decline OF
trade and disastrous arrangement OF

is purchasing rice on the AsIatic conti-

No Tariff Reform.

The trusts are still in the saddle, rid
ing the Republican party to its undo,
ing. 1t is practically settled that there
will be nc tariff tinkering by the pres
ent Congress. The organization of the
present representatives of the people
is in the hands of the protectionists,
who are of the Hanna 'stand-pat'
stripe. The trusts are therefore se-
cure in their extOrtion at least until
1904, and can continue to sell theiR
products to foreigners for from 20 to
80 per cent less than they compel the
people of the United States TO pay.
How long the voters will continue to
condone this discrimination against
themselves Is a question that is post
poned for two more years. At the
Presidential election in 1909 they will
have another opportunity to decide
the question, and with further enlight,
eminent they may reverse their deci,
sion of this year.
The trust question and reciprocity
are forced to the front by the Presi.
with the evident intention of inspiring
the people with hope Of relief and rex
lieving the Republican party of tho
more important tariff question on
which it is so sorely divided AS the
President has not, by any means, ex-
hausted the power to punish bad trrRts
which the law already gives hines
pecially the criminal section of the
Sherman law, which he has never in
voked-it is hardly fair TO shoulder
upon Congress all the ills that the

majority which will manage, at least.
to do nothing to seriously cripple Them
the outlook for the people Is dark in-j

BY the time the national election
takes place the voters will have further
proof that no relief can be expected
from the trust and corporation con-
trollad party which they have iDtrust-
ed with power. and they viii be more
than willing to give the Democratic
party an opportunity to enforce the
criminal section of the Sherman law,

to prevent discrimination, and TO re-
form the tariff law by placing trust
productions on the free list.
