The Philippine Tariff.

(From the Minneapolis Tribune (Rep-)
We don't believe that the people Of
this country Will ndure for much
longer the barrier of tariff duties be
tween Philippine and United States
trade. Why should the people Of this
country pay two prices On g and
tobacco grown on soil they are taxed
to govern and guard. to enrich the
clients Of these senator's? New light
Is cast on this subject by the last sta
tisticS of trade with outside territory.
Exports to Alaska and the islands have
increased 400 per cent. n imports
from them 100 per cent. But the great
er part Of the growth is in Porto Rico
and Hawaii, where trade is free. I'm
ports from the Philippines have in
creased only a little more than p per
cent, and the large increase Of exports
from practically nothing is plainly due
to army and official trade. Yet these is

Tom JohnsOn's Victory.

In many respects the victory of Tom
L. Johnson in the Ohio convention is
empty. 1t was won by mthods which
We're startling even, in ohio. Election
figures in that state sine 1896, when the
blight of Organism began to thin the
ranks of the democratic party, show the
process of elimination by which John
son has maintained hinself in power.
In 1897 Bushnell, the republican candi-
date for governor, received a plurality
of %, 600. Nas increased this in 1899 to
40, 900. In 1901 Governor Nash was re-
elected, this time with a plurality of ST.
900. Last e a Laylin, the republican
candidate for secretary of state, was
elcted by a plurality Of mOre than 90, 1000.
There is small reason to xpect that the
progressive decline will be checked
this year. Johnson's policy of elimina-
ton was never carried on more Vigor-
ously than at present. To cast out
those who oppose him seems to be in
him a fundamental political instinct.
He possesses it in common with many

WILL DO TO THINK ABOUT.
Chekib Bey, the Turkish Minister in
an Interview.

The Turkish minister Of the Unit
ed States was interview ed last week
IN regard TO the troubles in Turkey and
especially-in regard to prospective trou-
BILE between the United States and Tur-
key on account of the attempted assas-
tslnatlon Of the American vice consul at
beirut IN the course Of the interview
ne said:
My government would be unwilling
TO believe that any but the best rela-
exist between it and the United
Estates. Of course the worst nay come
and relations be broken off. but l do
not thlnk 50. l am hoping all the other
way.
you ask me about the massacres in
turkey. These unfortunately occur.
But DO they not occur in Christian
Hands? No one would be so foolish as
10 hoId your government responsible
eEery time a negro is lynched. Your
government deplores these outrages,
put II cannot alway~ prevent them. So
docs Turkey deplore the massacre and
we are doing all in u power to pre-
vent them"
turning to the missionary question
the minister, who rejoices IN the name
Iof Chekib Bey. aid
we nave allowed the missionaries
lSAO"e LDeElleS and with what result.
IL am advised that certain missionaries
IWheF they go to Turkey are constantly
arouSlng the ArmenianS against the
Moslems. They even talk to the Ar
Imenlans about eXterminating US. Is
mot that melting the Armenian subjects
Ito rebellion?
suppose I should establish in Wash
IinSton q school for negroes and my
l~teacherS should tell the negroes attend
ling that school that they ought not to
submit to lynching and should rebel.
do you think I would remain in this
country long or that my school would
FLOURISH? This is a side of the question
THAT is not often heard. But we have
the missionaries and my government
strives TO protect them. 1t is merely
IJustlce. however. that when the mis-
Isionary comes to Turkey he should
Iconf1ne himself to the religious and in
Itellectual training of his pupils and not
IendeaVor TO make them dissatisfied
with their present government. I am
sure you cannot expect us to ncour
Iage the undermining Of our govern
Iment."
Of course the Turkish government Is
bad and many of US regard it as SC
WHOLLY bad that we have long believed
lit should be eXterminated from the face
Iof the earth: and While Chekib Bey's
remarks will not convince the American
lpeople that his government is as good
as he would have US believe. what he
isays will do to reflect upon. 1t is wei
lenough to pause n look at the matter

British Revelations.

After all, the worst that may be said
about the revelations of British war Of
flee incompetency is what the London
Times says: There is no reason to
think that military u~npreparedneSS has
ibeen very materially leSSened in the pc
lriod since the war;" and what the
Morning Advertiser says: These re

plenty of scarlet; no NOV of the

the transport and medical services

1t is believed that in all cases pup
pies are born blind. A millionaire dog
.fancier has two that were not only
born blind, but have remained so. He
values them at $500 each. At first it
was decided to send them to a veter

ter was discussed pro and o The
veterinary" it was suggested. treats
only horses and COWS; he knows moth
ing of dogs. Singularly enough. not
withstanding there are logs a plenty
worth $40, 900 each, We have no famous
~dog-doctors. 1t is still more strange
that We nave many horses that are
valued at from $780, 900 to $4,000, and
lhave never had a great veterinary sur
lgeon. There are COWS in the herds of
Morton, Rockefeller. Twombly, and
lHavenmeyer worth $4,000 each, but
1--we have no celebrated c~ow-doctors-
Last year one of these animals was
taken with a collie, and an ordinary.
Everyday physician was sent for. He
lcured the COW, and his fee was $500.
