the United States continue to put for
ward on behalf of their race. Opinion
in England has differed since Lord
PalmerstOn's day as tothe desirability
of a nation sallYiDg forth like a
knight-errant among the people of the
world, in order to protect the weak
and right the wrong But the United
States are still ready to break lance
on behalf of the oppressed, and after
making all due allowance for electoral
eXigencies, we may hail President
Roosevelt as the nearest approach to
the political knight-errant that exists
in the latter-day world. We do not
forget his manly stand for the Rou-
manian Jews and his attempt to bring
the signatory Powers of the Berlin
Treaty to a sense of their obligations
under an instrument to which his
government was not party. Some
dispatches which were printed only
last week bore striking testimony to
the deep interest which the President
still takes in the situation of our Rou-
manian brethren. Nor will Jews for
get the part Mr.. Roosevelt played in
the kishineff agitation. The Presi-
dent refers to his action in the course
of his letter of acceptance of the Re
publican nomination. With perfect
IuEti6n he rl-C no 81 Z
ministration in our history, no other
government in the world, has more
consistently stood for the broadcast
spirit of brotherhood in our common
humanity-Or has had a more reso-
lutte attitude of protest against every
wrong that outraged 1.-THE civilization
of the age, at home and abroad The
Presidents uniformly kind attitude
towards our people has earned him, in
the columns of the Siecle-a friendly
journal-the title of The New Moses
His conduct probably springs not so
much from love of Jews, as. from II
passion of right. But Jews will not,
on that account withhold from him
the gratitude due for his labors in
their behalf
This testimony from the chief organ
of English Jewry is eloquent evidence
of how our brethren abroad regard

the free list when 1t passed the House.
The self-interests of Senator Cor
man prevented the Senate from pass
ing the bill in that form. He secured
a duty OF forty cents a ton or btu
minOus coal and even with that duty
the production of coal in the Uuited
States fell off 10000, 900 tons in the
year 1894. Thousands OF miners lost
their jobs, and lockouts, no strikes,
prevailed throughout the coal regions.
The election of a Democratic Con-
gress in 1894 was the greatest disaster
that has come to the coal miners in
the last twenty-five years. Til e cleo
ton of a Democratic Congress this
year would bring the same conditions
we had in 1894. No Democratic tariff
bill would be Democratic without
taking the duty off coal. Anthracite
coal has always been on the free list
because there is no other such coal
anywhere else in the world to com
pete with it. But bituminous coal
is as abundant in Europe, China and
Japan as in this country, and in
China, where the greatest coal fields
in the world exist, there is the cheap
est labor in the world. Free coal
would place the American miner in
competition with Cooley labor in
China. y Democratic Congress
would mean free coal and equal com
petition of Chinese Cooley laber with
that of the coal miner in the United
States. Do the miners want that
kind of competition?

Archbishop Harry is eminently
qualified to judge of the situation. In
his nine months residence at Manila
he has held exhaustive conferences
with the bishops and provincial
priests. He has spent months living
with the people, travelling practic-
ally alone and unguarded even in the
remotest provinces, inspecting par
ishes and visiting the people in their
homes. In some of the districts he
visited it had been thirty years since
a bishop had been there.
Nor is the testimony of these
churchmen isolated. Every one who
has had an opportunity to Judge of
conditions in the Philippines as they
actually exist, brings to Washington
the same story of progress. The Phil
ippine government is being judicious-
ly administered, the people are pros
porous, Christianity is thriving under
the freedom of American policies, and
the pernicious influence on few ex-
citable Filipinos of the false assertions
of Democratic candidates and speak
ers is now the only menace to unin-
terrupted peace and prosperity in
the Philippines.

COST OF PHILIPPINES.

The avidity with which Judge Par
ker and ex-Secretary Olney swallowed
the statement that the Philippines
had cost this county 5000, 100000 and
the pertinacity with which they cling
to it, after it's falsity has been proved
again and again, are past the COM
prehension of persons in Washington
who are familiar with the real condi-
tions in the Philippines.
That the cost of the Philippines, in
Guiding the $2O,00O,0 900 paid to Spain,
amounted, up to May /, 1902, to 1885,
100000, has been established beyond
dispute. No Democratic member of
either house of Congress has dared to
challenge Secretary Roots statement
to that effect. The cost to this coun-
try for the following year has been
shown to be S3,080,0O0, and for the
year just ended 50, 100000, total of
| 1894, 1870, 900. That has been the ac-
tual cost of the Philippines up to
June 30. 1904.
The statement Mr.. Parker permit
ted himself to repeat when he declar-
ed that cover 200, 000lives haye been
sacrificed is equally false. The total
loss of life of American troops and
| Filipinos in the Am erican army
| from all causes has amounted to 4,067
privates and 1876 officers, a total of
1929 men. Even adding to this
number the loss of Filipino insur-
| gents, liberal estimate of which is
less than 10000 the grand total aggre-
gates $4,000, against Mr.. Parker's
100000 Moreover, the totals here
given include deaths from wounds,
sickness, drowning, and other acct
dents, and, an important contributorY
causes, the contagious diseases which,
unrestrained, ravaged Americans and
Philippines when American occupa-
ton began. Only 10000 American
soldiers all told have been sent to the
Philippines.
| AS an offset to this loss of life
should be set the magnificent work of
the army medical corps, and of the
health officers of the Philippine Com
mission, whose unremitting efforts
have stamped ont the plague, reduc-
ed smallpox and other contagious dis
eases to minimum, and rendered the
Philippines as healthful as Cuba.
That unintelligent campaign
speakers should quote the extraya-
CANT charges of the partisan press
without taking the trouble to inYes-
tigate them, may not he surprising,
but that men of higher standing
should reiterate them, especially in
the face of the testimony of high
minded and unimpeachable witnesses,
is source of amazement. The Insu-
lar Bureau points to the interview
with the Most Reverend J. j. Harty,
the Roman Catholic Archbishop OF
Manila, cabled from the Philippines,
as indisputable evidence of existing
conditions in the Philippines. Arch
bishop Harty's testimony agrees with
that of DR.. Brent, the Episcopal Bish-
op of Manila, who is now in this
country. The Archbishop, after re.
turning from an extended tour
through the Islands, declared his hope
that Theodore Roosevelt would be
elected President of the United States

Col. GEORGE A. PEARRE has gain

three terms in Congress, for his abili-

man, and was thought to have no enc
mics. Sunday he went to the home of

him and threatening to hurt or Kill
him. He said that they stopped him
in front of Murphy's saloon Saturday

Sunday they chased him out the back

claimed that he had done nothing to
them and that they are bad men and
