INsINcERIrY OF DEMOCRATS.
Conviction of the Party before the
American People by Its Utter
Unreliability.

The democratic members of the
United States senate have been ex-
tremely loud and constant in their
professions of benevolent intentions
toward the Filipinos. They have in
sisted that the administration and
the republican party have been OPP
pressing the Filipinos. They have
denied the right of congress to inn
pose discriminating taxes upon the
products of any part of the national
domain. They have held that tho
Filipinos must be either citizens or
subjects. On the theory of citizen
ship they have acclaimed against
taxing them without giving them rep
resentation, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
A few days ago the opportunity
was presented to the indignant demo-
cratic senator's to prove their be-
nevolence to the Filipinos. A bill
was to be voted on to encourage Phil
ippine industry by RENTING rs per
cent. of our tariff on island products,
and to remit certain insular taxes
upon such products when imported
into the United States. Senator For
aker and % other republican sena-
tors thought this concession was not
enough, and that the Filipinos de-
served more liberal treatment. Sem
ator Foraker moved to amend the
bill by making the reduction in our
tariff so per cent.
How then did the democratic sena-
tors live up to their professions of
sympathy and benevolence and make
their deeds square with their words?

HONORED BY HARVARD.
The University Makes Prince Henry
q Doctor of Laws.

Doctor Oh Laws.
Boston, March Prince Henry of
Prussia was the guest of Boston Thurs
day and his welcome to the city was a
cordial one. Gov. Winthrop Murray
Crane and Mayor Collins, acting for
the state and the city, extended the Of
fetal courtesies to him, and when the
prince tremendously returned their
calls he went to Cambridge to deliver
the gifts of his brother, the kaiser, to
the Germanic museum and to receive
from Harvard the honorary degree OF
doctor of laws. Prince Henry's first
act at the Harvard union shortly after
he received the degree was to propose
and lead three cheers for President
Roosevelt, who is Harvard alumnus.
The prince received a cablegram from
the emperor congratulating him on
his newest honor.
At night the prince was given din
ner by the city of Boston and sat at a
table with more than 200 of the rep
resentative citizens of the common
wealth.

Did they vote for the Foraker amend
ment and thus relieve the Filipinos
of large share of the arbitrary
taxation" which they have SO vigor-
ously condemned? Only six of them
proved their sincerity by so voting.
Eighteen of them voted the other
way.
Among those 10 democrats were
Messrs. Bailey, Culberson, Dubois,
Money, Patterson, Rawlins, Teller
and Vest, all most acrid critics of the
republican policy toward the islands,
and all constantly bubbling over with
sympathy for the Filipinos. If only
these eight democrats had voted as
they talked the Foraker amendment
would have been adopted. The Fill
pinos would have been relieved Of
one-half of the taxes now imposed on
their products at our custom houses.
But these eight gentlemen would not
have It.
In the United States senate, as
elsewhere, men must be judged not
by their words, but by their deeds.
BY their votes on the Foraker amend
ment 1s of the "a democrats present
ate their words and repudiated their
party's declaration of policy. Their
words professed friendship and be-
nevolence towards the Filipinos.
Their deeds were those of injury and
hostility.
BY it's deeds is the democratic party
convicted before the American peo-
pie of utter insincerity.

quest. When that was over, he
drove to the University club to a

until mid-afternoon. In the evening

met large party made up of per-
sons of social prominence. When the

at the Vanderbilt home he went to

ceive delegation representing the
Commercial club, of st. Paul. and
plete the arrangements for the last
two days stay in the country and
his departure for home. He had in

they had done for him and congratu-
lated them on their excellent must
cal ability. He said in part:
at never heard sweeter or softer music
from a male choir. have heard other music
in this country which has given me great
delight, and II has brought me to the con-
clusion that music is born In the human
heart without regard to race or color.
You should cultivate music not only as a

DOne of the men at whom the Ken
lucky Wheeler filings his abuse is Capt.
Clark, of the Oregon, the prudent, in
telligent and watchful officer who
brought that ship $4,000 miles and
added her to the feet about Cuba in
a condition to take a prominent part
in the victory at Santiago. The Oregon
always had fires under her boilers, and,
though not regarded as speedy ship,
the speed she developed at Santiago
enabled her to take prominent part
in the fight, due to the fact that by not
using boilers for condensation scale
was kept from them, which made IL
possible to get under way promptly
and to get the best results from her
boilers. The president, in designating

WHY USE FUEL OIL?
Galveston, Tex, Nov. %. 100

Galveston, Tex, Nov. %, 1901.
Dear Sirs:
In reply to your inquiry I beg to say
that we have equipped all our dredges
and tugs with oil burners, and, including
the cost of transportation, we are saving
an average of $4,000 per month on our
fuel bill.
Below I give you an itemized memo
randum:
We have four dredges with eight boil
ers >of 300 b. p. each, total 81 boilers,
$500 h. p.: also one tug with boiler ca
pacity Of $50 h. p.
The coal cost, at s5.25 per ton, $1,000 per
month. Our oil for the same time cost
$1,65O, including transportation, loading
on vessels, etc.
This shows a saving of $3.50 for the
month of October. Besides the saving
from reduction in number of stokers
above all, the satisfaction of having a
clean ship and being able to- carry three
times the amount of fuel With coal we
carry only eight days supply; with oil
we can carry twenty-four days supply.
We have no ashes to dump; no clink-
ers to pull; no fire to- trim; no smoke or
sparks to endanger barges loaded with
in1ammable cargo such as cotton or hay.
OF course, being near the oil field we can
get fuel oil very low, but after using it
I most honestly state that II oil cost me
more than coal I would not go back to
coal as long as could get oil.
It is an ideal fuel, and urge all owners
Of barges, tugs, lighters. steamboats, and
steam vessels to convert them at once to
oil burners, and be free from irrespon-
sible and incompetent stokers, and reduce
the danger from fire. Very respectfully,
nSipnedl CHAS. CLARKE & CO.

PIPES WERE NOT FROZEN
THE WATER WAS JUST SHUT OFF,
Reason for Lack of Water in Ger
tain Sections of the City
This MOrntnE, ..-


There were few households in a large
section west of the river that had any
city water between 1880 and o'clock this
morning. The situation was due to the
shutting off the big 36-inch main on Sec
ond street to allow for repairs to water
gate near the North Side station. 1t was
thought that the 20-inch main coming
across the river at Twentieth avenue N
and the 16-inch main crossing the steel
arch bridge would be sufficient to keep
the pressure up to the necessary point,
while the repair work was on, but the
water departments estimate on this point
was wrong. The pressure at the second
floor Of the city hall dropped to IA pounds
and at the mains in the business district
to 80 pounds. Out on Lowry hill, and IN
the eighth ward and some other sections
of the city there was no water at all
available land anxious housewives who
had risen betimes to get at the weekly
washing were in perturbed state of
mind. The natural supposition was that
the pipes had frozen and in many cases
plumbers were hastily summoned to the
scene.
At 9 o'clock Supervisor Mcconnell
ordered the West Side pumps started, and
it wasn't long before the pressure was
about up to the normal. The repairs to
the water gate were completed early this
afternoon. ....

WHAT OTHER MEMBERS SAY
Some Are Favorable, Some Dubious
and Some Silent.

Some Are Favorable, Some Dubious
and Some Silent.
Opponents of the new tax bill are re-
ceiving support from large eiemeht
which does not want to kill the bill, but
put 1t over till the regular session.
Their argument is that the bill reported
is not drawn according to the ideas OF the
commission at all. Senator Potter sug-
gests that the extra session pass the con-
stitutional amendments and submit them
to the people next fall, then continue the
tax commission, and have them report to
the next legislature a bill embodying all
their ideas. -.
Lowell P Jepson (Rep.) senator from
the forty fourth district thinks it might
be wise to pass the bill and then secure
the necessary constitutional amendments
later. Senator Jepson has studied the
bill carefully, and he has high praise for
the ability displayed in it's recommended
tions. Says Mr.. Jepson:
1t is evident that the tax commission has
given the subject thorough consideration, and
the report shows evidence of great ability
on its part. And it is also very evident that
the commission has given the best it could
within the limits placed upon it by the con-
stitution. I am in favor Of an amendment to
the proposed bill leaving the exemption where
it is now, at s1oo. But isn't it possible to pass
the bill, with some amendments. and then
to make the constitutional amendments de-
sirable? 3
I expect to support the bill very nearly
as it now is-that is with very few amend
ments-but at the same time am in favor
Of submitting to the people the opportunity
That commission was hidebound, and they
admit in their report that they were greatly
restricted in their personal Judgment by the
constitution.
