The messages of Governors McCul-
Tough and Bell are fair statements of
existing conditions, and good advice
looking to improved relations between
all the varied interests of the people.
Honesty of purpose and candidness in
expressed beliefs is a marked feature OF
the address of Gov. Bell. All may not
readily acquiesce in his plans, but he
suggests nothing which is not worthy
careful consideration.

ANGLES LETTER.
Our Opposition Party.

at is the business of an opposition to
oppose. BEN amin Disraei.
Progress is the watchword in this
great republic. Granting that we are
progressive people, we should demand
something more from such as constitute
the negative quality in our politics, than
mere obstruction. The need of the
times is for such intelligence and con-
scientiousness as will perforce raise the
standard, so that the results will be
national excellence. These qualifica-
tons, alone, could afford the ground
upon which to stand and appeal to the
people for reversion.
AS the motto of the opposition is
surely "Smite and spare not" criticism
of their work is in order. Let us first
take the action of the administration in
Panama, as that has induced the most
clamor. The opposition assisted in the
ratification of treaty which they de-
clare was born in iniquity-the circum-
stance, in its entirety constituting, &C.
cording to them, prostitution of
national honor Mr.. Morgan, the highly
intelligent senator from Alabama, ad-
dressing the members in congress, de-
fined the duties of president in such a
case. The address was masterpiece in
rhetoric, though his argument could not
I've conclusive, in a debate with one
equally gifted, and, both granting that
there is "a higher rule for conduct than
the wording of the "Constitution." The
rebellion in Panama was an emergency
unforeseen by the men who devised the
federal law. The prompt action of the
preside t prevented terrible slaughter,
and secured to shamefully oppressed
people the best conditions that they
have ever known. Henry Wattersoh, a
most strenuous opponent of the presi-
dent, has IN consequence called the
president as "sweet a gentleman as ever
cut throat or scuttled ship" and is
most contemptuous in his remarks on the
new arrangement in Panama, styling
the government as little-fy-by-night
republic; perhaps, forgetting the re-
markable similarity between the plight
of the "Panamans" and that of the
"Colonists" plight which elected the
sympathy and intervention of tie
French government. Many able speeches
on this subject have been made by those
who prefer red tape to the higher law,
but the issue here is opposition's acquies
cence in so called iniquity.
In regard to American occupancy and
helpfulness in the Philippines, they
offer intelligent opposition in arguments
attempting to prove that Uncle Sam will
be out at pocket by this phase of inn
perialism; but when they moralize over
the wrong done to the inhabitants they
make great mistake. He who is now
recognized as party leader, submits the
opinion that Americans should attend
strictly to their own affairs, and abstain
altogether from efforts to evangelize
alien peoples. He is unsound here, in
Christianity, and his view, entertained
doubtless by the rank and file of the
party is narrow, in fact retrogressive.
He conveys the impression, when dis
cussing the Panama and Philippine
issues, that he considers no higher law

PLOTTED TO ROB TRAIN.
Negro Kills Postal Clerk and Wounds
Another-Culprit Captured.

BIRMINGHAM. Ala. February 29.-Ac-
cording to reports received here by the Off
cials Of the Alabama Great Southern rail-
road, the shooting of two postal clerks on
north-bound train, No. early today two
miles north of Meridian. Miss. was part of
a plot to rob the train.
The shooting was done by Jim Paris, a
negro who boarded the train in the Meri-
dian yards as 1T was pulling out. Before It
was under good headway Paris entered the
postal car and opened fire on Clerks J. T.
Stockton and A. J. Bass. killing Stockton
instantly and wounding Bass in the arm.
The negro then seized a package of regis
tered letters and Jumped of. In leaving the
train he fell and one leg was crushed under
the wheels, but he managed to drag himself
three miles. Bloodhounds were secured at
Meridian, the train having backed to that
place. Their scent led to the capture Of
Paris at daylight. Several registered let
ters were found in his pocket. He was
taken to jail at Meridian.
The railroad officials say three or four
negroes were involved In the plot to rob the
train, though only one of them appears to
have entered the postal car.

FAVORS A BOND ISSUE
SECRETARY TAFT ON PHILIP
PINE IMPROVEMENTS.
They Can Be Continued Only by the
Creation of Debt for the
Islands.

Secretary Taft has decided that 1t is time
that some arrangements be made 1or IS
suing Philippine bonds to pay ror- the eX-
tensive work of internal improvements that
has been going on in the islands Tor the
past four years. All of these works, oulld-
ing the breakwaters and the docks, the
construction of roads, the erection OF
school houses and bridges, in fact, all
sorts of necessary work to develop the ls-
lands permanently, have been paid for py
the Philippine government out of the cash
receipts. Not one cent of indebtedness
has been incurred. In fact, the islands nave
no bonded debt in the actual sense OF deot'
for the certificates that have been soIo
We're in reality to create reserve funds IN
the case of the currency, and Where issued
to pay for the friars' lands they are based
upon the value of the lands themselves,
which are held as security for their re-
demption.
: So the Secretary has decided to ask Con-
gress for authority to issue bonds, constitut-
ing the first real indebtedness or the Is
lands. He Is impelled to do this by rea-
son of the fact that the current receipts OF
the islands have been falling off lately, the
loss last month being 100000, and either
these important improvements must cease
or some part of their cost must be placed
upon posterity.
So in conference with Chairman Cooper
of the House committee on insular aHalrS
and Col Edwards, chief of the inSular bu-
reau the Secretary is preparing bill pro-
viding for an issue of Philippine bonds to
an amount not exceeding $10,OOO,OOO. While
the details have not been settled lit Is pc
lieved that these will be 1O-30 per cent
bonds, and that, like the Philippine certifi-
Gates issued as a basis for the currency,
they will be receivable in the United States
as security for deposits of public money
and national bank circulation. But as the
bonds, unlike the certificaes which run only
a year, will be long term investments, 1t IS
estimated that they Will bring much
higher price in the market. -,
This issue, if authorized by Congress, Will
have nothing to do with the proposition
already advanced by Secretary Taft to au-
thorize the Philippine government to guar
antee per cent interest on investments In
the islands of a certain semt-publ1c char
acter, such as railroads. bridges, etc.; the
annual expenditure on such accounts be
limited to one and half million dollars per
year.

ADJOURNMENT IN MAY.
Mr.. PAYNE Sees No Reason Why It Can
not Be Accomplished.

"At this stage of the proceedings said
Representative Payne, the republican leader
for the House, to a Star reporter today, Il
see no reason why we should not look 1or-
ward to adjournment of Congress early In
the month of May. There is no legislation
in sight at this time in either House of
Congress which seems to foreshadow
long contest.
1.-THE calendar of the House does not
show any bills of great national import
ance. We may expect If the reports are
correct, bill from the committee on terri
tories to provide for a new state, and pos
sibly two new states. Such a bill would
not cause prolonged discussion in the
House, and if the intimations are true that
when it is brought in it will be by SUBJ
stantiai agreement between the factions
there is no reason to anticipate unusual de-
lay in the Senate.
There is some talk of a service pension
bill at this session. l do not know what will
come out of that, whether the committee
will bring in bill or not The Senate
probably would discuss at some length a
service pension measure, but even then 1
do not see why consideration should be
prolonged into the summer.
The ways and means committee has no
general legislation of a very important
character before it. The only bill before
the committee that is attracting much at
tention is the tobacco stamp bill, and that
bill is In subcommittee, and l do not know
what Is to be done with It. That committee
is not contemplating any legislation which
would excite opposition or demand extraor-
binary consideration.
"AS matter of fact, Congress has done
so much in the past few years that there
seems very little left to do, and the most
important legislation is awaiting construc-
ton by the United States Supreme Court.
OF course, If the Supreme Court should
render a decision in the antitrust cases
which would demand further legislation by
Congress, no one can tell how long the
present session would last. But, looking
thing which is likely to prove a stopping
block to a reasonably early adjournment.
The consideration of the appropriation bills
In committee of the whole will furnish op-
portunities for members of both parties to
make their political speeches for the com
ing campaign"

'There is no need for alarm over the

Patriotic Stamps for Revenue.
The Bourse Gazette urges the govern
ment to issue patriotic stamps, the pro-

Tradesmen are also invited to affiX a ko-

expected to yield S15,OOO,OOO.
An English Invention.
The Korean minister here refuses to be-
lieve the reported Japanese-Korean TREATY
which he describes as IAN English inven-
tion,'' and declares the whole document
is absurd. The minister has become a pop
ular figure since he came out as a strong
partisan of Russia and gave s25 toward the
fund being raised to strengthen the Rus
sian fleet. The papers are publishing BIZ
ographical sketches and portraits of the
minister and the legation, both of which
were scarcely known before the war.

TO BE GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE
Midshipman McMillan's Reward for
His Manly Demeanor.

An interesting case at the Naval Acad-
emy is that Of Midshipman F. E. Mcmillan
of the first Wisconsin district. Mcmillan
is troubled with an affection Of the heart
and was the only member Of his class who
was pronounced disqualified at the recent
graduation. His bearing In the face of
such a disappointment has been so digni-
fed as to impress the authorities with his
manliness and the desirabilty of such a
young man IN the service. Accordingly, on
the recommendation of the superintendent
of the Naval Academy Midshipman McMil-
Ian has been retained at Annapolis, where
he will serve in the capacity of an assistant
instructor until the final graduation of his
class, when ne will be examined in the
hope that his condition may be sufficiently
improved by the favor shown him In the
duties to which he has been assigned and
that two years hence he will be pro-
nounced eligible for the commission of en-

Mr.. Gilbert mentioned the retention Of Mrs

to the appointment of Mr.. Crum AZ col
lector at Charleston, 8. c., and he made
reference to the dining Of Booker Washing
ton at the White House, undertaking to
describe the seating of the Presidents fam

Mr.. Scott (Kan.) asked Mr. Gilbert II he
would criticise democratic president If he
should have a negro dine with him as Sc
verely as he criticised President Roosevelt.
"An impossible assumption" declared
Mr. Gilbert.
Mr. Scott asked him If he did not know
that negro dined at the White House dur
ing President Cleveland's first administra-
ton, to which Mr.. Gilbert replied that the
democrats Were not particularly claiming
Mr.. Cleveland, and that he was not first

Mr. Scott drew contrast between Wash

a man of recognized ability. and had been
the guest of distinguished people at home
and abroad including Queen Victoria, and
declared that the latter had nothing to rec

FUNERAL OF DIR. MCKENZIE.
Remains Removed to Stamford, Conn.
for Interment.

Funeral services over the remains of the
late DIR. Alexander Mckenzie were held
at the late residence of the deceased Sat-
urday evening at o'clock, and the re-
mains were removed yesterday morning to
Stamford. Conn, where they will be in
TERED. The services Saturday night were
conducted by Rev. Asa Fisk, DID,, pastor
of the Gunton Temple Memorial Presby-
terian Church. The ceremony was short
and simple, but highly impressive.
DR.. Mckenzie was a native of New En-
land and was forty-fve years old He
studied medicine in New York and his love
for animals led him to turn his attention
to veterinary surgery. This he studied for
four years and then came to this city,
where he praeticed his profession He was
at one time in the employ Of the United
States government, and later was employed
by the District.
In 1895 he removed to New York, but re-
turned to Washington year or two ago
and re-estabiished his practice here. He
died very suddenly Thursday evening at
his residence, 14o4 l4th street northwest
