people to buy this great necessity Or
life at an extravag CANT price because the
trusts require it. Not only ought the
duty on Cuban sugar to come down,
but the duty on all sugar ought to be
reduced materially in view of the
changed conditions that now prevail.
The trust fears. it,. and has said that
this reduction must be barred as the
price of any concession to Cuba.
Of course the proceeding is extra
legal, and the rule, if adopted, would
be impotent.o,sNo congress can bind
the hands Of its successor No bill
could be passed by one house which
could not be repealed by the next.
Nothing can be made a part of the
fundamental law except by being
placed in the constitution. We. do not
believe that even Incorporation in a
treaty of such methods as have been
adopted would give the rule proposed
any pinulng Iofce. very Hheiy' ~"
ever, it would abrogate the treaty in
case further reductions in the sugar
duties were made, and this is exactly
what the sugar interests desire to have
and use as an argument.
The whole policy of the Republican
party in this matter is tied up with
trust interests and dictated by them.
Let the Democrats look to it that their
opposition be sharp, open and sincere,
so that if this disgraceful bargain with
the trusts is to be concluded the peo-
pie Of the country may understand
that Democracy has no hand in it.

of his patrimony through the making
of gifts of pianos and other valuable
evidences of the state of his mind to-
ward young females.
Mr. Hall is sixty years of age but
time in it's flight has not withered the
youthful freshness of his heart. He
has lived the bachelor life, but 1t does
not appear that he has been gong
about fancy free. His dallianee in the
primrose path has been marked by
many an affair of the heart, but he IS
not ernbittered. In earlier days he was
wont to go a-woeing as young men do
with a scowl for rival and amorous
glance and speech for the passing OBJ
ject of his unstable affections. Latter
ly he has been content to worship from
afar and, out of the store of his accu-
mulated pelf to offer oblations on the
altar of the nymph of the hour.
Mr. Halls relations paid no attention
to him and his doings until it was dis
covered that the bachelor was raising
the limit of value Oh the gifts he was
making his many Dulcineas. They
heard that he had made present Of
a piano to young woman with whom
he was slightly acquainted, but whom
he loved to distraction. Then they
made some inquiry and discovered that
the memory of Cousin Hall was kept
green in many rural home by THE
Maiden's Prayer" or 'sThe Battle OF
Prague" produced under the hesitating
fingers of Mr. Halls flame on pianos Of
his providing.
Then they called a halt. They argued
that man of sixty who gave away
pianos to mere girls must be daffy.
Mr.. Hall stands upon his defense, and
we stand with him. If he wants to give
away pianos and has the price, let him
work his will-so that he give none to
the girl in the upper fat. A bachelor
spend his substance In giving pianos to
many girls He might give many
pianos and other things to one girl and
thereby give some color to the charge
that his relatives bring against him.
The fact that he scattered his affec-
tons is not to be charged against him.
He treated all the girls alike. The phi.
losopher says that "He who is true to
one woman is good; he who is true to
many is great" Let Hall go on his
way scattering pianos and his mature
affections. The more girls the more
pianos and the less there will be for
the grasping members of the Hall fam
lily to spend for ham and eggs when
Bachelor Hall goes to his reward.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 13-Mr.

FOR A NAVAL BASE
Dutch Harbor, Alaska, May Be
Exclusive Military Station.
Globe Special Washington Service,
dAfz

U
1417 C Street.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10
If present plans Of the navy depart
ment are carried out, Dutch Harbor,
Alaska, will become exclusively mill
tary station of the government, ade-
quately fortified and thoroughly equip
ped as strategic base for naval ships
in time of war. Three or four years
ago the department first conceived the
notion of establishing a coaling station
at Dutch Harbor, for the government
was then beginning to realize the i'm
portance of that point on account of
the growing commerce with the Orient.
Dutch Harbor is not far from the
track of steamships plying by way Of
the northern route, between Seattle and
the Orient. In 1898, when a large num-
Der of horses and some troops were
shipped to the Philippines from Seattle,
the transports put in at Dutch Harber
for the purpose of giving the horses a
rest ashore.
The original plans did not contem-
plate anything more than a small coal
ing station. 1t is now proposed not
only to secure land for the location of
coal storage and coaling facilities, but
to take over the whole place and to
fortify it against any invader who
might approach in time of war. The
Importance of the step is significant, in
view of the growing Importance Of
Alaska and the Orient to the United
States and the approach of the time
when the Seattle Oriental fleet of mer-
chant ships will be augmented by the
Minnesota and the Dakota, larger
freight carriers than any now afloat.
The government realizes that the nat
ural channels of commerce must be
protected.
The company which owns a part Of
the land at Dutch Harbor. and which
has for years maintained a trading sta
ton and coal pile there, has offered to
sell to the government its entire plant.
The price asked is $4,000. The au-
thorities Of the navy department have
asked for an inventory of the property
and are of the opinion that the offer is
worthy of serious consideration. The
report recently made to the secretary
of the navy by the chief Of the bureau
of equipment said:
I'm the opinion of the bureau, Dutch
Harbor should be fortified, not only as
means of defense of naval supplies,
but in order that it may be used as a
place of refuge for American merchant
ships. This harbor is located on COM
mercial route, over which treasure and
valuable cargoes are constantly pass
ing to and fro"
Last year surveys were made of two
hitherto unknown natural harbors In
the Aleutian islands, several hundred
miles west of Dutch Harbor. 1t Is pro-
posed to establish a small coa1ing sta
ton at one of these places also, and
this will be a means of protection for
the commercial route lying only COM
paratively short distance to the south
ward. Walter E. Clark.

New York and Frisco.

New Yorker whose hidebound proyin-
cialism has firmly impressed him With
the belief that the wisdom. knowledge,
wealth, and culture of the United
States are all ON Manhattan island, no
other American is so well satisfied with
his own smartness and his own town
as the San Franciscan. Whether he
be ham actor counting the ties on the

MAYOR HARRISON AsDicATEs.

The disgraceful scenes with which
this country has become so sorrowfully
familiar in all times of labor disturb
ances are being repeated in Chicago.
Mayor Harrison has virtually abdicated
his Office, and anarchy rules in the sec
ond largest city of the United States
The immediate occasion of this is a
strike by the employees of one of the
street railway companies.
All over the city wherever any at
tempt has been made to run the street
cars there has been general rioting.
Property has been destroyed, men as
sailed and nearly killed, and there is
not the slightest semblance Of authori-
ty outside Of the mob. This is what
Mayor Harrison calls preserving an.
impartial attitude"
1t is the part of every municipal eX-
ecutive in such emergencies as this to
be truly impartial. Inpartiality con-
sists in refusing to aid either side
against the other The mayor has no
right to employ any of the power at
his command to help the strikers win
against the company or the company
to win against the strikers. 1t is his
duty, and he is coward and a criminal
if he does not employ all that authority
to preserve public order and maintain
the law against either party that may
threaten to break it.
OF course here, as always, the worst
offenders are not the parties to the ac-
tual dispute, The attitude that Mayor
Harrison has taken creates veritable
paradise for the criminal element that
exists in every large city. 1t Is partic-
ularly numerous in Chicago, and he
has virtually told it to safe it's vicious
appetite upon life and property to any
extent that 1t may desire.
Hoodlums and rioters know that vio-
lence has to be expected when strike
is on. The instant that a strike is de-
clared they get ready to give free rein
to their evil propensities. The strikers
may be perfectly orderly and the COM
pany acting within its rights, and yet the
streets of the city be filled with wreck
age and drenched with blood because of
the acts of this outside irresponsible
element.
These are the people whose heads
ought to be broken by a policemans
billy the instant that they lift hand or
the people to whom such position as
that taken by Mayor Harrison offers
immunity, and. whom it incites to loot
and carnage. It is almost inconceiva-
bic that any city authority should dare
assume an attitude like this. In so
doing Mayor Harrison is as false to the
interests of labor as to those of capital;
for nothing has been better established
than the fact that the workingnan and
the union are the severest sufferers
whenever a labor disturbance results
in violation of law He can win no
favor from either side, and is making
the most deplorable mistake of his
somewhat remarkable career.
What Chicago needs more than even
peace between her contending indus
trial factions is a man at the head of
affairs who knows his duty, who dares
do it and who shall hold reverence for
the law and obedience to it above all
petty political considerations or hope
of personal gain.
