"Malevolent Discrimination"
THE republican senators, being driy-


en- in corner during the Philippine
debate, sought to Shield themselves
behind Mr.. McKin]ey's memory.
When Senator Carmack of Tennessee
declared that "qlunder massacre, tor
ture and robbery ut tine penpi: OF the
Philippines was tie purpose and the
solo purpose of the American policy
in that archipelago" Senator Foraker
inquired If this were true where did
this purpose have il is origin. He asked
If it originated with President Nc
Kinley when he negotiated for pos
session of the Philippines or with the
senate when it ratified the treaty.
In reply Senator Carmack said:
president Mckinley started out on a
policy Of benevolent assimilation, but
now it has degenerated into maleyo-
lent diSsimulation.
Mr.. Carmack can amply sustain his
claim concerning Mr.. Mckinley's in
tentions by quotations from Mr.. Nc
Kinley'S messages and speeches.

The Tariff and The Trusts.

The Buffalo,N. Y, News, a republic
can paper, refers to the tariff as "a
club that will punish the feed trust
and warn other trusts The News
adds
An act repeating the tariff on beef
and other means would end the power
of the combine as If by stroke Of
lightning. 1t would give warning to
other combines that greatly need such
q lesson.
Let the republican majority In con-
gress, at tile call of the president,
WELD this most powerful weapon
against the criminal injustice of the
trust. Let it prov that theory can be
set aside when the people are to be
rescued from a monster. Repeal of
the tariff on meat will protect the
people against piracy.
/ Why be tontent with giving mere
warning to other combines that
clearly need such lesson?"
Why not repeal the tariff on the
products Of all trusts?
The beef trust is not the only one
under whose eXactions the people are
suffering today.
One of the most effective ways of
dealing with the trusts is through the
tariff. That was the plan proposed
by the Kansas City platform, and yet
republicans sneered at it; and now a
republican paper goes so far as to in
dorse the Kansas City plan to the ex-
tent that it would be willing to apply
this remedy to the beef trust.
J The Buffalo News is entitled to con-
CALCULATIONS for having made, at least
some progress. The tariff advantages
enjoyed by the trusts are wrong, be-
cause 1t is not proper to give special
favorS under the law to auy man or
set Of men.
! 1t would be absurd to remove the
tariff advantages enjoyed by the beef
trust merely as ga warning to all
trusts" 1t would be wisdom to re-
move the tariff advantages enjoyed by
all trusts, not as warning, but a
recognition of the fact that under
our form of government 'equal rights
to all and special privileges to none'
is the rule to be strictly followed

A learned scientist has recently
shown how the velocity of the wind
can be reckoned by noting the musical
pitch of the sound given out when the
wind blows across q stretched wire.
The principal elements on which the
calculation is based are the diameter
of the wire and the temperature Of the
air. The length of the wire is inmate
rial, SO long as it is not changed. Every
variation in the winds velocity is
faithfully represented by the rising or
falling OF the pitch of the note sung
by the wire.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

report was current some time ago
that he would retire from public life
upon reaching his SEVENTEEN birth
day. Several gentlemen in the diplo-
matte service had been mentioned in
connection with the Berlin embassy
should Ambassador White retire, the
most prominent being DR.. David
Jayne Hill, now first assistant secre-
tary of state, and Hon. Bellamy
Storer, at present minister to Spain.
Ithaca, N. Y, Aug. 6.-The resig-
nation of Ambassador White has
been expected by his friends in this
city for many months, particularly
since the death of his son, Frederick
d. White, of Syracuse, in July, 1901.
DR.. White will be 70 years old in No
vember and the reason assigned here
for his withdrawal from the honor
able post which he occupied at Ber-
lin is that he is ready now to devote
himself to writing. He has COM
pleted work on his experiences and
"reminiscences as a diplomat at Ber-
lin and St. Petersburg, and is con-
stantly engaged in literary work.
He has maintained his home on the
campus since he left Cornell univer-
sity, and it is considered probable
that he will return here to live.

ARMED PEACE.
Quiet Prevails ut Shenandoah, Pa,
Owing to Presence of Troops,
Who Are yisilnnt.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. g. The
peace of this troop-pro1ected town
remains unbroken. The unsettled
feeling which has been apparent for
the last few days, however, continues.
1t was lively day at brigade head
quarters, where all the staff officers
were kept busy in connection with
the movements of the troops and in
keeping in touch with the situation
in the entire county. There were
many rumors of trouble, but except
ing at Girardville, where a workman
was shot and slightly injured, Moth
ing OF serious nature occurred any
where. Brig. Gen. Goblin was unu-
sually alert, however, and kept SOL
diers in readiness for instant use all
day long. Many stories of threat
ened trouble reached him, but he
was able in every instance to run
them down without sending out
detail of men. Officers around head
quarters feel that the tension is in
creasing and would not be surprised
if some of the troops now in camp
here We're sent into the surrounding
region. The brigadier general says
he will not send for additional men
until there is need for them. It is
not unlikely, however, that battery
and another troop of cavalry will be
in the field by the end of the week.

AMBASSADOR WHITE RESIGNS.
Our Representative to Germany to
Quit His Post Early In

Berlin, Aug. 6.-Ambassador White
mailed his resignation to the United
States several days ago. 1t is to take
effect early in November.
Mr.. Whites resignation may now be
in the hands of President Roosevelt.
The date set by the ambassador for
his resignation to go into effect was
November Z. He is now at Homburg,
where he is taking the waters and
where he probably will remain till the
end of the month. There is much Cos
sip at Berlin concerning Mr.. Whites
probable successor, and one circum-
stantial story is that the president in
tends to transfer Ambassador Tower
from St. Petersburg to Berlin, Minis
ter Storer from Spain to be ambas-
sador to Russia, and to appoint Henry
White, now secretary of embassy at
London, as minister to Spain. Mr..
Tower, who has been dissatisfied with
St. Petersburg, expressed months ago
wish TO be transferred to some other
equally desirable post, preferably Ber-
lin.

ton has been received at the state
department indicating that Ambassa-
