while the Philippines offer a field for
negroes with little capital they present
none for the unskilled laborer and at
present small opportunity for the arti-
san. In time there may be current of
negro emigration from the United
States to the Philippines, but the idea
that even a majority OF the black popula-
ton OF this country will find homes there
is preposterous. Minneapolis Times.
''In the tragedy just enacted at Bel
grade, King Alexander has fallen VIC
tim TO the folly OF his father, and the
Obrenovitch dynasty disappears from
history At any other time such an event
would have caused a stir in European
politics. but In the present condition OF
affairs I'm the Balkans IL Is OF special
gravity. 1t is not even certain that the
powers directly interested In the stability
OF affairs in the Balkan states will recog-
nize the new King. and IL Is within the
Bounds OF possibilities that there may be
an Intervention to maintain order. 1t Is
not certain that Servia will remain Ser
via. though her transformation implies
POLITICAL
scale than would fit her boundaries. In
any event a new turn has been given TO
Balkan politics the end OF which II is
not easy 10 foresee. New York Sun.
''It is not in commerce and industry
only that Mr.. Carnegie warns the British
OF the futlity OF striving TO compete
with us; he foresees for America an
equal supremacy in the world of politics.
Indulging once more his favorite dream
OF a possible Anglo Saxon alliance. he
says that should such vast federation
be formed the capital would Of necessity
be not In London but in Washington. and
he reminds the British that II Is now
easier for one TO travel from Scotland to
Washington than from San Francisco to
Washington. Our capital. therefore. is be-
coming something like the geographical
centre OF the English speaking race; and
whether there ever be an Anglo Saxon al
lance or not. Washington is destined to
be the most important capital In the
world."-San Francisco Call.
There is at present no reason to be-
lieve that the atrocious massacre In Bel
grade have any world wide significance.
The time has gone by when the civilized
world would be aroused even by minor
disturbances in that section. II is appar-
ent that the local troubles are intense.
and IL may be that the army which has
overturned the dynasty so drastically
may hope for foreign interference. but
the news at present does not indicate
this. The interests OF the great Powers
have long been turned from the Balkans
To other localities where trade and not
politics Is important. In these days II is
no longer possible to make mere senti-
ment. whether actual or manufactured
a rallying cry. Servia has had long and
unpleasant areer."-Phildelphia Inquir-
er.
There Is nothing wrong with the
principle OF labor organization. The
too much To them IL appears that IL or
ganization for mutual protection is right

refuse to be bound by the laws OF the or

non-union labor than the most rabid
capitalist IL in opposition to all unions. +"

''The proposed British tariff seems to
be more like the one in force In Ger
many. However this may be- the
proposition TO adopt a protective tariff OF
any kind Is a distinct admission that the
protective principle is right In the case
OF country having a vast area like that
OF the United States or the British en-
pire"-Denver Republican.
1T is announced with some ostenta tion
that Postmaster General Payne proposes
