THE POSTMASTER GENERAL

fragrant scandals have APP
peared i'm the Postoffice Depart
ment. Many of the faults be
gan before Mr.. Payne took of
flee. but the task of purifying
the service is none the less his.
Mr.. Mckinley refused Mr.
Payne ii place in his Cabinet.
and his principal reason was
supposed to be the belief that
regular machine politicians did
not make the best Cabinet otfic-
ials. Mr.. Payne spent much of
his early life as minor profess
sional politician. III e had
reached middle life before he
received any position higher
than that of Postmaster at Mil
waukee. His wire-pulling abil-
tiles then made him valuable to
corporations which enjoyed
public franchises. and he be-
came a business man as well as
a LOBBYIST. He was enthusiasts
tic for Mr.. Roosevelt and Joined
actively in the hurrah that
helped TO force his nomination
for Nice-President. Mr.. Roose-
Welt gave him his present posi-
ton, presumably on account of
his undoubted ability. Now
nobody imagines that the reve-
lations of rottenness in the Post
Office Department shock Mr.
Payne. He is not that kind of
a man. He doubtless regrets
all the pow-wow that has been
raised and the trouble that has
been caused to his party. He
will do no more than he is com
PEELED to do by the public or by
President Roosevelt. Perhaps
President Roosevelt will sug-
gest that he do a good deal

the manufacturing classes have still
maintained that while the manufac-
turer was artificially prevented from OBJ
tanning labor at the lowest rate. he ought
to rest content when the products of for
eign labor, untrammelled by any regula-,
tions and legislation to which he has
to submit, undersels him in his own
market? Cobdens scheme was at least
consistent 1t was free labor as we'll as
free imports, but free imports combined
with protected labor Is neither consistent
nor profitable to any Of the parties con-
cerned.
Mr.. Chamberlain holds that the theory
that other countries are running them
selves by bounties and import duties,
hardly comedies with the fact that British
exports have been practically stationary
for twelve years, while those of other
countries have increased so rapidly that,
'if the relative progress continues for a
few years longer they will have left US
far behind"

VENEZUELAN DEBT
UNDER DISCUSSION
First Session Of the Arbitra-

Held.
(By Associated Press,)

THE HAGUE, Oct. Sat the opening
of to-day's session of the Venezuelan
arbitration court NJ. Muravieff, the pre-
siding officer read telegrams received
from Queen Wilhelmina and the Gear
Of Russia, thanking the court for its good
wishes sent to them at the primary sit
ting. The Queen expressed her enrlre
confidence in the Justice of the courts
Judgment, The court announced tha, it
had decided that briefs and other docu-
ments should be delivered by October
18th, and that replies should be hanSed
in by November I'd. Thereafter the con-
sent of the tribunal must be obtained
for the presentment of further docu-
ments,
The court will hear the arguments of
counsel November 4th.
Judge Penfield, of American counsel,
who may have to so home before the
termination of the pleadings, intends to
ask Washington for authorization to sub
nit his argument in writing. Wayne
MacVeagh opened to-day in behalf of
Venezuela He said that the only ques-
ton of international law involved was
whether strong powers, In eXtorting
money by an aggressive and egotistic
war from weak power, have the right
of preferential treatment as a recompense
for their action, or whether all creditor
nations shall share equally, The spirit
of The Hague, MIR MacYeagh contended,
was to protect the weak against the
strong. Equality, he declared, was
euulty.

Former Colonial Secretary Says the

LONDON, Oct. 3.-Every other nation
and all our own self-governing colonies
have refused to accept the gospel OF Cob
den, and yet, although they ought. ac-
cording to it's dogmas, to be in tho last
stage of depression and decline. they have
grown during the last twenty years IN
wealth, population and trade and in
everything that goes TO make up the
greatness OF a nation,
That is the keynote of Joseph Chamber
lain's manifesto, which will be published
October 5th, by c. A. Vince secretary to
Mr.. Chamberlan's tariff organization.
With characteristic aggression, Mr.. Cham
berlain carries the war into the enemys
camp.
"Those who maintain he writes IN
a spirit of blind obscurantsm, the abso-
lutte inspiration of an antl1uated doctrine,
will have much to explain"
His remarks are addressed to Men OF
all political opinions, since the questions
now raised are not necessarily matters
of party politics, nor, indeed, is it like
ly that the issues will be ultimately de-
cided on strictly party Ines
He begins by saying: 1T Is difficult to
believe that the results of the investiga-
tion will not convince every Impartial
man of the necessity for some recon
struction of the system which has re
NAMED stationary and unaltered for more
than half century, while every other
policy has been modified and adopted to
meet modern requirements"
FREE IMPORTS.
Continuing, Mr.. Chamberlain points out
that the prosperity of the working classes
has increased in greater proportion In
the protected countries than in the United
Kingdom, and says: "Nree trade, If II
has ever existed, might have secured
for us all that It's promoters promised
but free imports without free trade have
brought us face to face with problems
which never entered into Cobden's calcu'
lations. We know that the idea of d
united empire did not appeal to him, and
that he regarded the colonies as an en-
cumbrance to be got rid of as soon as
possible. The little Englanders who follow

HE PLACED SAFEGUARDS

Captain w. D. Cardwell. member of the
House of Delegates from Hanover. has
gwen out statement In which he eX-
plains the manner in which the social
club feature of the present liquor law
was Incorporated. Captain Cardwells
statement Is as follows:
.The letter from Judge Mann in your
issue of September Soth, and the inter
view from Mr.. Eolkes in your issue OF
the 1st instant taken together do me
great injustice, of course, unintentionally.
~ am very glad for both of these gem

entitled to for the great efforts which
they have made In the past, and are still
making, in behalf of the causes of tenn
perance and good morals but am not
willing that they should have such credit
at my expense. I am no more responsible
for tho existence of social clubs than
Judge Mann is for the existence of licensed
ba,-rooms. The Mann bill provided for

HISTORY OF THE LAW.
"The history OF the social club law, so
far as l had any connection with 1t, is
this: When 1t was realized that the State
tax would be raised on liquor licenses,
and that the city governments of the state
would largely increase ME- city taxes,
those who were Interested In the bona
tide clubs of the State feared that under
the law then existing, which was not very
rigid, n large number of fake clubs
would be organized. and therefore, 1t was
thought to be the best interest OF such
bona-hde clubs to make the law govern
Ing social clubs as stringent as possible,
Therefore, bill was prepared, which |
nut additional restrictions upon social
clubs The tax was raised from one to
two dollars for each member, 1t was pro-
vlded that no liquor should be sold In
such clubs to any person who was a res
ident of the county or corporation in
which the clubhouse was located unless
such person was member of the club.
1t was further provided that the club
should not be located In the same build
