MANILA EDITORS PROTEST.
Matter of Press Censorship Referred
to the President

A dispatch from Manila says: Ex-
element prevails here on account of the
arrest of the editor and proprietor of Free
dom. a local publication, who is charged
with sedition in publishing recently an ar
ticle from an American periodical to which
the editor of Freedom agreed He also
added remarks of his own, censuring the
United States commissions rule. and say
ing that when it started in July last every
paper in the city upheld it, since which they
had all dropped by the wayside, as they
would not support arbitrary government
especially when evidences of carpet bag
ging and rumors of graft were too thick
to be pleasant
The main charges made were that In
many cases the Filipino office holders are
rascals and that the commission has ex-
alted to the highest positions Fiipinos who
are notoriously corrupt
The editors of the Volcano have also been
arrested on a suit of the government for
demanding the removal of the judge who
recently tried SenOr Valdez (the editor of a
local Spanish paper, who was fined 4.OOC
pesetaS for libeling two Filipino members
of the commission). and who Is now trying
the editor of Freedom under the sedition
law.
These proceedings have aroused the entire
press of Manila, and its representatives
met and resolved. to send a committee
TO the commissioners to argue against the
injustice of the proceedings. The meeting
also determined to send a cable message
to President Roosevelt. urging him to take
the sedition law in such cases to prove lese
majestic against editors. The meeting,
which was enthusiastic. was also largely
attended by lawyers, doctors and others.

THE BRITISH BUDGET.
A Belief That Duty Will Be Put on
Flour,

A dispatch from London yesterday says:
In spite of today's announcement that
the chancellor of the exchequer Sir
Micheal Htcks-Beach, is progressing so
well that 1t Is certain he will be
able to introduce the budget on Mon
day next there are many who believe
that another postponement Is likely to oc-
cur. 1t Is openly said that the indisposition
OF the chancellor of the exchequer is NOPE
diplomatic than organic Those who
waited on the colonial secretary. Mr.
Chamberlain. yesterday to discuss the posi-
ton of the trade Of the West Indies went
away with a strong impression that the
government. even at this late date had not
definitely decided how to raise the sum
represented by the enormous deficit New
ertheless. countless rumors regarding the
budget provisions continue to circulate
The Associated Press has good reason for
believing that a tax will be imposed on
flour. while 1t Is possible that some sort of
The oil trade anticipat tes a duty on petro-
leum, but this is merely an intelligent sur
mise, as the budget proposals are guarded
with Jealous secrecy. in order to avoid the
loss of revenue which occurred owing to
business interests taking advantage of the
premature leakage of the last budgets pro-
posals.
After much consultation the cabinet ap-
pears to favor allotting the West Indies a
lump sum. to be divided among the planta-
tions. In order to tide over the period be-
tween now and the time when the agree@
ment of the Brussels sugar convention
comes into force. The colonial secretary
advocated preferential treatment of West
India sugar, but the chancellor of the ex-
chequer appears to have carried the cabi-
net in mis- opposition to such a step.
There Is considerable anxiety in the Brit
ish sugar trade to know whether the United
States will regard the bestowal Of a lump
sum on the West Indies as being in the
light of subsidy. and will retaliate by i'm
posing countervaiung duty on West In
dian sugar. If such be the case, it is
pointed out. pecunfary relief by the impe-
rial government will accomplish nothing

BLACKBURN AND DEPEW.
Southern Election Methods Discussed
in the Senate

The discussion of southern election
methods was continued in the Senate yes
| terday afternoon after The Stars report of
| the proceedings was closed. Some re-
| marks which had been made by MIR. De-
pew concerning elections in Kentucky
drew the fire of Mr.. Blackburn, who lik-
ened the New York senator to the animal
! who is used as simile when disporting
himself in china shop.
Mr. Blackburn entered upon an elaborate
discussion of the elections and election laws
of Kentucky, in the course of which he
maintained that the Goebel election law
had been sustained by the supreme court of
Kentucky, and he was willing to stand on
that Judgment. He said he would not un-
dertake to learn his law ''at the hands of
a worthy. distinguished and conspicuous
corporation and railroad attorney" No
body, he said, had maintained that the
Goe5el election law was unjust or unfair.
Il nave been informed, interrupted Mr..
DepeW, VINO had come into the chamber
that one-third of the vote of the state of
Kentucky was thrown out in a recent cleo
tion. Is that true?''
1t is no more true" replied Mr.. Black
| burn, than many of the other statements
| the senator has made about Kentucky af-
| fairs
He said that no returning board in Ken
| tucky ever had held that Taylor had been
| elected governor over Goebel, and that the
| statements of Mr.. DepeW were based upon
| an entire misapprehension. of the facts
In conclusion, Mr.. Blackburn said sar-
| castically, that he would suggest a mall
ner in which the New York senator might
| be appeased. If the amendment was adopt
| ed New York might be excepted and then
| the railroads of that state, and especially
| the New York Central railroad, need not
| DE deprived of representation in the Sen
ate.
In a brief general reply to the criticisms
made of him Mr.. DepeW said he thought
there ought to be a federal election law,
| uniform in its application to all states, so
| that the people could have assurance that
all senators were elected by fair and i'm
| partial vote. Mr.. Depew said he was proud
| of his connection with the railroad inter-
ests of the country-a connection which
! with one million of associates, he had al
| ways considered honorable He said he
| was quite ready to submit his claims to a
scat in the Senate to the electorate of New
| FORK state, but when his present term
should expire he would have reached a
period in life when it was exceedingly
doubtful whether he would care to return
| TO the Senate.
Consideration then was resumed of the
| Chinese exclusion bill. Mr.. Penrose OBJ
| tanned an agreement of the Senate to be-
gin voting on amendments to the bill next
| Wednesday at l O'clock the debate after
| that hour to be limited to the five-minute
| rule
| Mr.. Teller delivered a speech in support of

b. Mr.. F. E. Triebel of New York The
figure of the general who. after the victory,
sheathes his sword, indicates the desire of
peace and concord necessary for the good
and general interest of the country. The
group on the front of the monument repre-
sents America. who has broken the chain
of slavery and uplifts the flag of liberty
to glory while the freed slave embraces the
soldier who died for his liberation. The
group on the left side of the monument rep
resents war. The group on the right poll
tics. In these groups is compendiated the
life of the general and of the statesman.
The two bas reliefs on the sides of the
monument represent the humble house in
which Grant was born, and the surrender
of Gen. Lee at Appomattox. The wreaths
upon the steps in front of the monument
signify the north and south of the United
States united in a sentiment of reverent
concord toward Grant while upon the
steps on the back of the monument the
eagle incoronates the sword of the hero
with oak and laurel.
The architecture of the monument is
classic. The dimensions of the ground plan
are eighty feet in length by sixty-four In
width:

dispatch from Philadelphia last night
says: After months of silence, United States
Senator Quay announced today that he is
opposed to the nomination of Attorney Cen
eral John P. Elkin for governor of Penn
sylvania. This announcement came as
great shock to the friends of Mr.. Elkin,

Senator Quays attitude was positively
known to his friends yesterd rday. and early
this evening. at long conference with the
Senator, Gen. Elkin learned from the sena-
tor ) own lips his attitude in the matter.
What actually took place at the conference

formal statement to the press. Senator

MARRIAGE IN FRANCE.
Women Drift Along in Single Blessed
ness Till Too Late.
From Uarnnr'S Weakly.

From Harpers Weekly.
NJ lie Roux, who has been giving a course
of lectures at Columbia University on fami-
ly life in France, closed 1t with a discourse
on the crisis of marriage, whereof a very
incomplete report printed in some of the
newspapers, included an interesting pas
sage about French women who do not
marry. He finds the cause of their celibate
disposition to be luxury, the love of money
and the French system of marrying for
money. He said that through Paris jour-
nal he offered to give advice to unmarried
women and received hundreds of them, who
told him their several stories He remem-
bers it as depressing experience. The
story in every case was about the same.
The young women left school at twenty,
began to go to theaters, the opera and
balls, had good time. and put off getting
married. Still unmarried at twenty-five,
they began to have a certain pity for the
innocent young girls who married and as
sumed the cares of their sex. The men
they saw pleased them less and less, they
We're unable to awaken the sentiment of
love for them, and at last found themselves
at the age of thirty-still unmarried. Too
late. disillusioned, they saw that marriage
is only a means. not an end"
M. LIE Roux thinks that the society where
this story is common is in bad way, and
that the French system must be reformed
by teaching the man to have courage
enough to take wife without money Per-
maps thdC IS tne remedy, Dut the experience
he describes is not at all uncommon in our
day here. where the French system of
matrimonial endowment does not obtain.
Here two girls are liable to drift along in
state Of single blessedness, which becomes
yearly less blessed and yearly less easy to
break out of. oHerel too, between twenty
and twenty fyesgirls,lying a comparatively
idle life devoted chiefly, to society readily
acquire tastes" and develop expectatio
which no available man can hope to satisfy.
Here. too. they pass the age Of expectation
and drift impereeptibly into that of critical
disinclination. 81 Perhaps the majority of
know any better but of these the majority
seem to come out ahead in the end, for
what they lose tn ease they make up for in
gaining definite duties powers, interests
and responsibilities and in working for their
own and getting, the rewards of their

CHINESE EXcLU SION.
IDes Moines Daily Capital.

lDes Moines Daily Capital
Joaquin Miller, the Poet Of the
Sierras, has contributed a most re.
American Review upon THE Chinese
and the Exclusion Act" The article
Is remarkable from the fact that 1t IL
voice of condemnation of a policy
which was supposed to express the
unanimous sentiment of that section
of the country in which the writer
makes his home.
The writer discusses his subject
from two standpOInts: First-rhat
the Chinese exclusion act is actually
detrimental to the industrial interests
of the Nation, especially Of the West.
Second-That the act Is unChrlstian,
and violation OF the principles Of
equity for which the United States, Of
al, nations, ought to stand.
Mr.. Miller has spent a goOdly por-
tiOn of his life in the States upon the
Pacific slope. He has worked in mines,
practiced law and published a news
paper. He has also been an extensive
traveller In all portions of the world,
These circumstances will tend to pro-
cure him respectful listeners and read
ers even among those who may never
be brought to coincide with his con-
illusions.
Mr.. Miller makes a most savage on
slaught upon the labor organizations
| throughout the country, and brands
the leaders as mostly made up Of noisy
agitators. He boldly makes the as
sertion that the real laboring man in
this country. the man who works with
hand aud brain rather tnan with his
mouth, Is really Indifferent in the mat
ter of Chinese laborers coming TO this
country. He states that his work dur,
ing the past four years as a talier al
teachers Institutes, colleges, and Sc
on, has taken him into nearly every
county in Washington, Oregon, Cali
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas
and Louisiana, and that he has no
where heard one voice in favor OF tho
Chinese exclusion act, but the contrary
at all times and places. He declares
that the Chinese are wanted in that
section for helpers; that 1t Is only the
mental tasks which they essay to per.
form, and that in no particular can
