The Coal Tariff.

The removal for six months or a year of
the tariff on coal. while a step in the right
direction. will not bring the relief to the
people which is today imperatively demand
ed Too much must not be expected in con-
sequnce OF the move, which, 1t may be as
sumed, Is made in entire good faith. The
present tariff on hard coal is 81 cents ton.
That commodity Is now selling at retail in
the markets Of this country at $l2. $14 and
even $50 a ton. II coal from foreign mines
were to be had in this emergency 1t could
be imported and sold at profit, with the
duty added. When coal retails at $3.50 the
addition of the tariff Is a barely appreciable
factor. When the price advances to $3.50 1t
loses much of its small Importance. When
coal sells at famine prices 1t Is a bagatelle.
The great difficulty is that the foreign coal
supply is insufficient to affect the market.
1t would doubtless have done 80 already,
even with the tariff added to the price, II 1t
could have been found by consumers or re-
tailers AS long as American hard coal Is
exported to meet foreign demands, as has
been the case for some years in a. certain
degree, the tariff wall does not materially
change the domestic situation, especially
when the domestic retail rates are soaring
heavenward. However. every little helps,
and as an earnest of the good intent Of Con-
gress this prospective action will be CRATE
fully received by the country.

Germany and America.

A good deal of nonsense on the subject of
DIR. Won Holleben's departure from Wash
ington is coming across the sea. Take this
paragraph from Berlin:
Since the emperor has been giving spe-
cial personal attention to Germanys reia-
tons with the United States he has said on
two three occasions, it is understood
that Germany ought to be represented at
Washington by personality which would
win the regard of the American people as
we'll as the confidence of the American gov
ernment His majesty on occasion
alluded to the personality of WI Ting fang,
the former Chinese minister at Washing
ton, as being of exceptional value to
China
WI Ting-fang was much in the public
eye In the United States because of the in
terest that attached to an oriental who was
exceptional both in his knowledge and his
appre ciation d. of occidental civilization
Wherever he went there was curiosity to
see and meet a Chinese gentleman who spoke
English so well. and whose wit was SO
sharp and ready. His success was almost
wholly unofficial As a diplomat he was
simply humored- The government over
looked performances on his part which on
the part of any representative of a Euro
pean power would have been taken into Sc
rlous account His services to his country,
while creditable. were not especially i'm

toward China at the time Of the Boxer
troubles. which was dictated solely by our
own conception OF duty. and he failed abso-
lutely in an attempt. which the government

The Tariff.

And yet there are men who insist that
the tariff question should not be discussed.
Read the debates in Congress and see how
pertinent they are on tariff lines to mat
tiers Of pressing interest. Read the COM
msnts on them in the newspapers and see
how much space they command. Observe
how strong the argument is in favor of a
revision OF schedules which were FASH
Toned for a day of depression and as a
stimulation to PROSTATE industries. The
tariff question cannot be avoided. 1t crops
out at every turn. The sooner it Is taken
up for systematic consideration, therefore,
the better. Why not courageously act
upon proposition which has so much to
support cit both in the way of commercial
necessity and political expediency? Shall
the hesitation of this Congress extend 10
and affect the next?

Soulless Spectators.
From the New York Mail and Express.


II the known needs and sufferings OF this
community have no effect upon those who
control the coal supply, to induce them to
distribute it promptly and fairly at reason
able prices. it Is to be feared that the ap-
peais OF the mayor. backed by the board
OF estimate and apportionment, will fall to
soften their obduracy. The strike Of the
miners utterly destroyed the balance be-
tween supply and demand, and lot of
soulless SPECTATORS seem bent upon prof
iting to the utmost from the situation
In which the people are caught by the
cold winter. The chief offenders in this
merciless scheme Of fattening on a fuel
famine are the independent operators, who
have been SO loud in their outcries against
the greed of the coal roads, The coal
roads, whose principal offense in time past
has been an effort to maintain an equable
relation between supply and demand and
stability Of prices throughout the year,
set out in this emergency to hold prices
at a reasonable level and effect an equi-
table distribution of all the coal that could
be brought to this market.

Honor and Interest,
From the New York Tribune.

1t Is limited that the last, lingering, dog
in-the manager opposition to reciprocity with
Cuba is to be manifested by indfrection
in delaying action upon the treaty. The
rumor would seem incredible were it not
for the experience Of a year ago. At the
present time, it is said, men who would
not venture to oppose the treaty openly are
seeking to take advantage of the congested
state OF the Senate calendar. They strive,
on the one hand, to keep the treaty from
being ratified by bringing forward other
measures. and, on the other hand, they
create the impression that some measures
which some senator's dislike cannot be
acted upon before the treaty, and so Il
the treaty is indefinitely delayed these
other measures will be kept out of the
way. If any such ways that are dark
are really being pursued 1t Is to be hoped
and indeed believed. that they will also
prove to be tricks that are VAIN"

the results of the contemplated vacation
II, is estimated that that cessation from Ia
Dor and incident demonstration reduced the
normal output of coal for that period by
nearly 100, 600 TONS which would have gone
a long way toward relieving the distressing
necessities Of the present severe weather.
Between the reckless disregard for the
rights and welfare of others on the part OF
the miners on the one hand. and the insa-
tiate greed of the capitalists owning and
operating the mines on the other, the great
middle public is being slowly but surely
ground to desperation between the upper
and neither mill stones of selfishness, and
will one of these days take the matter IN
hand and bring about a change, even II
forcibie means are necessary: 1t Is too
much to expect that the American people
will sit idly by and run the risk OF present

Mitchsll,s Belated Action.

At last President Mitchell and the presi-
dents of the several anthracite coal dis
tricts appear to have awakened to the
gravity of the fuel situation, and have is
sued a circular advising the miners to use
every exertion to increase the output OF
coal to meet the present distressing emer-
geney. Better late than never. But this
step ought to have been taken long ago. as
was urged by The Star nearly month
since. when 1t protested against the propo-
sition on the part OF the miners to s'knock
or from their work for the enjoyment OF
the holiday season, and plainly pointed out

Filipinos and Their Oppressofs.

The Filipinos are distressed at the
thought Of losing Gov. Taft. He has served
them so satisfactorily, and come to stand
in their eyes for SO much justice and SYM
pathy and helpfulness that the suggestion
Of his return home is most unwelcome.
Thousands Of them surrounded his resi-
dence in Manila on Sunday and cheered him
to the echo. 1t is plain enough, even at
this distance, that the demonstration was
sincere, and that not voice was raised in
mis- honor but with good reason. He has
flied a most difficult post with rare discre-
ton and success. and has richly merited
the applause of Fiiipinos and Americans
alike. He made personal sacrifices to &C
cept his present duties. and his reward ap-
proprately takes the shape of great popu-
larity in the Philippines and substantial
official promotion here at home.
But Gov. Taft of course improved Sun
days occasion to impress upon his friendly
visitors the fact that in all he had done
he had acted for his government. The pol
icies that had pleased them 50 much were
not dis policies, but those of his superiors.
They represented the sentiment and pur-
poses of the American people toward the
people of the archipelago. and whether he
left or stayed they would be carried for
ward to their logical conclusion His sue
cessor would receive the same instructions
that had guided him, and would obey them
as he had done.
And so it turns out that the Filpinos ARE
not una preciative of what is being done
for them, and not without attachment for
the American officials who are discharging
their duty among them. And this spirit
will grow. The more clearly it is brought
home to them by wise and kindly admins
tration that the American purpose is not
tyranny. or selfish exploitation of the
archipelago. but education for the people
and the general bet terment of their condi-
this government and it's representatives in
the islands.
And let us suppose somebody proposing
after few years more the lowering of the
flag and the withdrawal of the American
authority, leaving the islands to the I'M
certainty of inexperienced native rule, or
to the mercy of European land hunger.
Should we not witness just such demon
stration of respect and attachment for
American institutions as has just been
made for Gov. Taft? Would not the propo-
earnest protest as has this proposition for
a change merely of the leading official of
that control?
But what will the anti-imperialists up
Boston way say about this conduct at Ma
Mia? If the Filipnos are beginning to ad-
mire the tyrants we have sent to Cypress
them, what Is to become OF that Boston
shrek for a Tagalog republic?
