Mr.. Chamberlain and Protection.

The sort OF campaign upon which Joseph
Chamberlain has entered Is Indicated by the
fact that he has representative In this
the tariff question it has affected the for
tunes of the United States. Here, more
than in any other country has protection
wrought it's wonders. II has several times
received check. The free traders-or tariff
reformers, as they prefer to be called--have
now and then obtained q favorable hearing
at the polls. but their triumph was always
short lived At the first opportunity return
was made to what is known as the Ameri-
can policy. and protection resumed its sway.
We owe so much to that policy. indeed. It
seems strange that 1t should ever. even for
the briefest time. have been challenged. 1t
Is well established now. Nobody at this
day is singing the song of 1892, when the
protected Industries of America were as
sured that their hour had come. They are
still alive and prosperous. while the states
men who predicted their doom are either in
private life very uninhuential in office.
This story from America, II Is plain
enough. contains good deal of value for
Mr.. Chamberlain. He cannot, 1t Is true ap-
ply the policy OF protection for the Brit sh
empire as We have applied 1t for our great
empire, but. while details will differ. benefi-

Addicks and His Hopes.

The dispatches tell us that Mr.. Addicks
is stirring again In Delaware. He still has
his eye on the Senate. is still hopeful Of
uniting his party in his support. and pre-
sumably still has his check-book ready to
hand. Is there hope for this oft-defeated
and discredited man? If so. what is pro-
ducing 1t?
Mr.. Addicks has doubtless been following
the New York campaign. and has probably
been struck. as everybody else has been.

affairs and moreover the electoral vote OF
this state for the next democratic candidate
for the presidency" The gamblers. the
saloon-keepers and the brothel-keepsrs are
all subscribing literally to the campaign
fund. and many large corporations hoping
for favors are doing the same thing. II the

with Mr.. Mcclellan as his mask.
Mr.. Addicks has doubtless been following
the campaign in Maryland, and cannot have
failed to note the plane upon which Mr..
German has pitched hts campaign for the
presidency. The appeal Is wholly to race
prejudice. and Is addressed to the lowest
and most dangerous members of the states
electorate. A gold standard man. he cannot
with safety discuss the money question
when the Maryland democracy has twice
voted for free silver. A protectionist, he
cannot with safety discuss the tariff ques-
ton when the Maryland democracy has so
repeatedly enrolled itself in favor Of q rev.
enue tariff. In this strait Mr.. German HES
him to the race question. Other refuge has
he none. 1t is case of Help me, Sambo,
or 1 sink!' And Mr.. German appropriates
Sambo. describes him in colors to match
the darkest skin. and enlarges on his
theme. His references to the President are
not quite so offensive as those of Major
Vardaman Of Mississippi. but show close
and distinct kinship between the two men
as political campaigners. Mr.. German plays
the limit according to what he thinks his
party at home will stand in that line.
Here. then. may be found the explanation
Of Mr.. Addicks' renewed activity Seeing
low methods to obtain political power and
preferment adopted elsewhere, he is stimu-
lated to try his own luck once more. II the
mayoralty of New York and presidential
nomination are being sought by means Of
money and blackguardism he doubtless
thinks 1t no great offense to play with his
check-book again for a Delaware senator

Street Car Nuisancas

Occasionally report is made Of the eject
ment from the street cars of this city Of
drunken men or persons otherwise offensive
and disorderly. But IT would seem, to Judge
from the experience of passengers on the
local lines, that the right to exclude such
persons from the cars granted by the char
tiers of the companies, is not sufficiently ex-
ercised by the conductors This right is
usually stated in the statutes in the follow
Ing negative but effective language. which
is the form used In the charters of two of
the local suburban companies:
That person shall be prohibited the
right to travel on any part of said road, or
be elected from the cars by the company's
employees, for any other cause than that of
being drunk disorderly, unclean or con-
taSlously diseased, or refusing to pay the
legal fare enacted. or to comply with the
lawful regulations of the company"
The Washington cars are run on rather a
generous principle The conductors, taxed
already to the limit by the responsibilities
put upon them. usually Indifferent to
the approach of an intoxicated man A
mistaken sense of sympathy for him causes
them to assist him to enter, In the belief
that 1t is well to carry him homeward 1t

Queen Lou.

Hail to the queen Of trotters! The other
day she was deposed by a former king, bu'
she regained her title Saturday by going
mile in 1:5S1s. a remarkable time IN any
event, but especially SO when the circum-
stances are considered. A stiff wind was
blowing. and the mare was aided by no ar
tiflcial device save small wire screen fast
ened to the sulky OF the runner to serve as
a mud shield. No wind shield Of any KIND
was used. Thus for all practical purposes
Lou Dilion's latest record was made under
conditions similar to those that governed
when Cresceus took the lead few days
before in a 1:59N mile. Cresceus' pace
maker, It is true. ran alongside instead OF
in front Of him. but there was less WIND.
It may be. Of course. that the stin breeze
which on Saturday blew against Lou Dillon
in the backstretch helped her correspond
ingly on the nomestretch. However. the
record stands as the new mark for trotters,
phenomenally lower than few months ago
any man dared to expect.

diminished output and low and unsatis-
factory return. If the British electorate
decides to change its fiscal policy, Is there
any reason why protection should not work
well there?
We see in this move of his how thorough
and practical a man Mr.. Chamberlain is.
He brings the methods of the business
Office into use In the field of Craftsmanship.
He wants the facts and the figures. and not
having the time to come over for them HIM
self-he declined an invitation to visit Chi
cago-he sends a representative and has
them carefully collected. Evidently he has
embarked upon an undertaking which Is to
test not only his powers as a debater and
political leader. but hts staying Qualit es

questions. II he had eloquence he could
not hope to win with it. But as he IL not
eloquent, he must rely upon his argument,

9TH. Salvation of the South"

The Charleston News and Courier. IN in
dorsing a statement that ''ths south would
support anybody to beat Roosevelt. says:
The salvation Of the south Is In the res
toration of the democratic party to power.
and there cannot he such restoration with
out the aid OF the north and east.
What Is meant by the salvation Of the
southY' What is the present condition OF
the south?
Certain democratic leaders. at loss for a
cry, are shouting at the top of their voices
for a white mans government. The south
has that-has had II for thirty years. She
stands in no danger whatever of losing It,
The negro could not rule If he would. and
1t Is but fair to him to say that he shows no
disposition to try The palpabIe dishonesty
of the cry is shown by the fact that II Is as
loud in Maryland where the negro Is in a
small and hopeless minority. as In Missis-
sippi where, despite his numbers. he is
political nonentity. The white man is in
control but owes the negro and everybody
else Justice.
When the negro was a slave he was
counted at three-fifths in the south's con-
gressfonal representation. Now that he Is
a free man In theory but still slave po1it-
ically. the south mas him counted in her
representation at five-fifths. This is I'M
constitutional. The south by the arrange

to which she is not entitled. Does her sal

threaten white supremacy In her local at
fairs.
The south Is enjoying to the full. with her
sister sections OF the country the benefits
of the policies of protection and sound
money and expansion. She fought them all
at the polls, but they prevailed in spite of
her. Business within her borders Is boom
ing Her banking capital is increasing all
the time, as the result of wise financial
legislation. As the result of protection du-
ties on cotton goods she is manufacturing
more and more OF her principal commodity
every year. Her spindles are multiplying
amazingly. If our markets In the far east
are enlarged. as is generally expected. she
will share in the profitable increase very
generously
What sort of salvation" Is it, then, to
which the News and Courier refers?

Furnace Colds.

The chill air of the past few days has
turned the thoughts of most householders to
their furnaces and many have been lighted
for the season. Doubtless some of the resi-
dents of furnaee-heated houses are now
wondering where and how they caught
cold" They can remember no exposure and
fail to figure out the specific cause Of their
inconvenience. They may regard 1t as only
a coincidence that they began to sneeze and
suffer the first symptoms of the cold the
day or the day after the fire was started.
Yet they do not think 1t possible that they

Nothing. Of course. but cordial reception
awaits Sir Henry Mortimer Durand in this
country. His new post Is one of Importance,
but, as The Star pointed out the other day.
not so difficult to fill as 1t was few years
ago. Great Britain and the United States
are very good friends now. with the pros
pect OF remaining 80. There is nothing on
the horizon. indeed. but good will. and to
that both peoples have generously contrib
uted. The new ambassador, like his two
immediate predecessors. is a diplomat Of
large experience and success and comes to

not to be supposed that his residence at
Madrid has misled him in any way as to
America or Its people. or that any of his
opinions of US or our institutions will be
otherwise than favorably strengthened by
personal touch and near acquaintance.

Conforming to Gold Standard.
From the Manila Times


The Conant peso Is recognized as equal
to the hall dollar in United States currency
in all transactions except the purchase of
Mex, at the Chinese exchange offices. Even
at these exchanges iere Is no pretense
that the new dollar Is worth less than fifty
cents gold. but as a matter OF convenience
gold or silver certificates are preferable
to the Chinese money changers. AS soon
as the mongrel currency which has served
to disarrange business since the variable
price Of silver commenced. ceases to have
debt-paying power, the sharp practice In
exchange will no longer annoy. II great
er number of people would conform to the
gold basis it would lessen the demand for
Mexican currency and serve to eliminate
the present juggling. An American re-

was commendable. Every American should

Of further encouraging the use Of the old

Ronhomie


If all the folks were candidates this world

So good we'd scarcely feel the need of a
millennium:
For every one would wear a smile through

And by his deeds of kindness scatter sun
shine on the way.
Such wonderful unselfishness must surely
be admired:
The general welfare would be all that any
one desired.
No man would seek another's Ill through
out this glorious land
And only noble sentiments would sound on
every hand.
The children would be happy, for each one
who came along
Would try to entertain them with a story
or song.
We'd really feel as II we'd stepped inside
the pearly gates
And heard the golden harps, II all the folks
were candidates.
