The Washington correspondent of
the Milwaukee Free Press is authority
for the statement that Senators
Spooner and Quarles will not seek an
election as delegates to the Republi-
can National convention. This doubt
less is for the sake of harmony, the
senator's probably thinking that their
candidacy would arouse the opposition
of the state administration, and pro-
woke an angry contest. It is fair to
presume that if the friends or Gov. La
Toilette are in the ascendancy in the
state convention tney will elect only
men of their own faith as delegates to
Chicago, and it is probably in accord
ance with this idea that the senators
have concluded to not take any steps
to draw the FIRE of the opposition.
That there will be contest, however.
may be taken for a certainty, for it
may be assumed that rival interests
will come in conflict and each faction

The Farmer and State and National
Aid for Building Wagon Roads.

Four States, New York, Massachu-
sets, New Jersey and Connecticut
have in the past ten years spent about
$10,000,O0O as state cid for building
wagon roads. About Sc OOO,0O has
been added to this sum By the coun-
ties and towns where the state roads
were built, and about $500 miles of
state roads have been completed in
these four states. Pennsylvania last
year appropriated $6,50O,O0O for the
building of state roads. Wherever
state roads have been built the selling
price of farm lands has been increased
from 20 per cent. 70 so per cent, and
even more in some cases. The $500
miles of state road already built have
been of such benefit to the farmer that
they have caused a great demand for
more good road. Five states found it
good to aid in the building of
wagon roads by state appropriations,
Why should not the National Govern
ment aid in building roads IN every
state of the unionp Congressman
Brownlow of Tennessee has answered
this question by introducing in con-
gress bill appropriating $4,000, 900
as national aid for building wagon
reads. This sum is available at the
rate of 100000 year for three
years, and is distributed to each state
according to it's population, except
that no state shall receive less than
$3.50, 900. The states or counties re-
ceiving this money must add like
amount. This appropriation. will
build between 5000 and 1000 miles
splendid National road, and will build
from 100 to 500 miles of hard road in
each state of the union. It seems to
many farmers that it is time for the
national government to aid them. and
taey hope the bill will become law.

for the Filipinos' include a concessions

for the Filipinos' include concessions
of self-goyernment?"
"Not immediately; not soon, perhaps.
Some of the young lions of the Manila
press speak of it as the childish slogan,
but we are pledged to it, and, in spite
of them, we must realize it. It means
that every measure adopted concerning
the PHILIPPINES, whether congress or the
commission, must be adopted and en-
forced for the welfare of the Filipino
people, whether it benefits anybody else
or not. It does not permit Of that sell
fish exploitation which takes wealth
out of a country FOR the profit of Ameri-
cans at the expense of the Fill
plnos. For instance, suppose the
United States congress were to adopt a
law which forbade inter-island trade
except in ships constructed in United
States territory, and thereby reduced the
carrying trace to one half its natural
| capacity, increasing the freight rates
exOrbitantly and comforting profit only
on Americans interested in it: I say
that would be selfish exploitation Of the
most detestable character. It is in order
that some things may be done that the
three American newspapers supposed to
speak the American opinion in those
islands constantly hold the Filipino up
to contempt, multiplying all his sup
posed vices, and giving him no credit
for any virtues. Should we wish the
Filipino people to judge of Americans
by the drunken, truculent, American
loafers who infest the small towns of
these islands, living on the fruits Of the
labor Of Filipino women? Should we
wish them to judge Of American stand
ards OF honesty by reading humilating
ist of American official and unofficial de
faulters in those islands? The Filipinos
as people have breathed in through
their educated leaders the inspiration
ct liberty and free government. Many
OF them have fought, bled, and given up
their lives in struggle for independ-
ence. 1t was mistaken struggle, but
their sacrifices and their bravery are
worthy of our admiration and bespeak a
people capable Of greater things"
Some of our people, Mr.. Secretary,
believe in the inherent right Of people
to govern themselves, believe that an
imperfect government by the Filipinos
for themselves would be better than any
government which we would impose
upon Them"
20. yes; know. That is a mistake.
That principle is generally given up by
every American after weeks residence
at Manila. The wisest of even the Fill
plnOs are now cOncedlng that our gov
eminent is better than theirs. It is my
sincere belief that when America shall
have reduced the tariff, and made the
commercial bond close and profit-giving
to both, the Filipinos will love the asso-
citation with the mother country and
will be the last to desire a severance of
those ties. Yes sir" said the governor,
rising and walking about the room and
enforcing his language with a gesture,
IF we should wish to withdraw our
strong hand that maintains the peace,
thew would nray to have ia stay"

Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent

Washington, d. G., Feb. 4, 1904.
MSharing the wide popular interest in
the personality and purposes of Cover
nor William H. Taft just returned from
the Philippines to be Mr.. Roots success
sor as Secretary Of War, your correspond
ent sought him in his office at the War
Department yesterday and was fortunate
enough to have pleasant reception and
and obtain an important interview.
Omitting mention of pTeliminaries and
commonplace salutation, it sufices to
to say that the distinguished head Of the
army was found at moment when he
was quite disengaged and smilingly
assured his visitor, "Sit down, we have
all the time there is" The secretary is q
man of almost colossal proportions, with a
fine face lighted up with steel blue eyes
and generous shock of brown hair that
looks as if it had once been parted in
the middle and cOmbed with friendly
pitchfork. Let me give the gist OF the
conversation which followed:
"Mr. Secretary, this country, which
knows that you were originally opposed
to the annexation Of the PHILIPPINE Is
lands, now hears that like President
Schurman, you are discouraged with the
result of the experiment"
mo; I have never said that and hav'
never felt it. What l have said is that
if were assured that the attitude OF the
majority of American merchants and
the American press in Manila would be
permanent, and if did not confidently
nope that there must be great change
in the future. should be very much dis
c0uraged in respect to the result OF the
experiment which the United States is
making in these islands. am not dis
courged because am sure that the next
decade will change the conditions most
radically"
May I inquire what is the hostile
ceiling to which you refer?"
Certainly: there are many Ameri
ans, possibly majority in Manila. in
;luding the entire American press, who
ire strongly opposed to the doctrine of
The Philippines for the Filipinos."
They have no patience with the policy of
,ttraction, or with ettempts to conciliate
he Filipino people aid introduce them
to self-goverment, They resent every
thing that is not American. They insist
that Filipinos should not be ap-
pointed to any Office. This cannot
continue if peace and prosperity are to
come there.'
''These fellows do uOt make money
enough. Three years ago there were
10000 soldiers there, creating large de-
mand for food and drink and other Amer
lean goods. SO that profits were great and
merchants got rich quick. Now there
are only $1,000 soldiers. The merchants
sell less, and advertise less, and the
subscription list of newspapers is great
ly reduced. So they want more soldiers;
they want Strong government They
have no patience with the Filipinos,
call them niggers, and treat them with
contempt. OF course this is not showing
good business sense. For a merchant
to openly scorn, despise and insult his
chief customers is folly indeed. This
must all change"

The Hearst presidential boom

~
The Hearst presidential boom ia
Wisconsin, has met with temporary
setback, with a possibility that it may
be permanent one. It seemed to
have smooth sailing for q time but a:
chilling b.ast has caused q change in
the situation. A number of the most.
prominent Democrats in the state have
organized a counter movement in be-
half Of e. G. Wall of Milwaukee, and
the probabilities are that q lively con-
test will be the result. We, presume
NO one thinks seriously that there lis
anything to the Wall candidacy except
q wish to control a delegation to the
!. National Convention for trading pur
poses, and the political dividends there
may be in it for the Wall campaign
managers. The followers of Mr..
Hearst have taken alarm but are san
guine that they can secure delega-
ton favorable to their chief. How
ever improbable it may seem that the
Democrats will nominate man like
Hearst it must be, conceded tha. he
has some of the elements of popularity,
which will commend him to that party.
Any candidate who ayows his readiness
to. put two millions OF dollars in the
campaign if the ticket meets with his
approval, is not to be turned down with
out some consideration. That's an at
tractfve card to which Democratic
eyes will be turned with much eager
ness. Mr.. Hearst is bound to prove an
important factor III The convention.
but his nomination hardly can be con-
sidered as probability. Mr.. Walls
chances to obtain it are considerably
less than Mr.. Hearst's.

Mysterious London Trapdoor.

From the London Mall
Upper Baker street has got a mystery.
discovery has been made in the ruins
of the house of the famous Sarah Sid
dons which. it is thought may lead TO
the disclosure of subterranean pas
sage from a remote cellar of the great
actress house to a destination unknown.
In the course of the demolition of the
Suilding. in connection with the Baker
Street and Waterloo railway operations. an
iron trapdoor was found In the basement.
a few blows of a sledge hammer smashed
it, revealing pit about by = feet, re-
sembling manhole to sewer.
The pit is brick lined and iron handholds
are fixed in the walls. The depth is prob
ably twelve to fourteen feet but no one
has as yet ventured down. Investigations
are to be resumed in about a week
The startling part of the discovery is
that Baker street has always sedulously
nursed a tradition that there exists sub
terranean passage from Mrs. Sddons'
house to one of the houses opposite. The
story runs that George ~, while prince
regent, used to pay surreptitious visits to
the mysterious "house opposite by means
of an underground tunnel.
1t must be borne in mind. however. that
when Mrs Siddons took the lease of the
house in Upper Baker street she was sixty
two and the prince regent fifty-five.
Incidentally, it is curious to recall that
illusions to a supposed subterranean pas
sage In Baker street were made In the
celebrated bruce case.
