The Other Side

"The desire to increase our own
prosperity at the expense of our de-
pendents is at the root of the demand
that no tariff reduction shall be
granted to the Filipinos-Provi
dence Journal.
Let us look at it the other way for
a moment. Is it not the desire to be
just and fair to the sugar, tobacco
and rice producers of our own coun-
try, to keep faith with them, to per-
NIT them to go on investing domes-
tic capital and employing domestic
labor? Is not the Republican party
specifically pledged to that PROPOSE
ton? The fifty-seven protectionist
Republicans who voted against the
Philippine free trade bill were con-
scientious in thinking So So were
a considerable number of house pro-
tectionist Republicans who voted for
that bill under protest and in the be-
lief that the measure could never pass
the senate.

ARRESTS OF POLICEMEN.
They Are Alleged to Have Engaged
in Extensive Thefts of Goods
on Wharvcs.

Savannah, Ga.-E. C. Tabb, C.
H. Ruth and Bernard McCabe,
policemen in the employ of the
Ocean Steamship Co. upon its docks,
and A. b. La Roach, shipping clerk,
were arrested Thursday afternoon
upon warrants charging them with
the theft of articles of merchandise
from the wharves. The men gave
bond and were released.
Accusation against the men was
made by John Ray, negro, who was
arrested for having new shoes in his
possession which he could not ac-
count for satisfactorily.
1t is charged that the men ar
rested have been accustomed to
break open cases of goods at night
and take such articles as they desir-
ed. The alleged thefts are said to
have been going on for two years.
Others than those arrested are said
to have engaged in the practice.
The Ocean Steamship Co. operates
a line of steamers between Savannah
and New York and Boston. The force
of police it employs are under the
superintendent of the Savannah
chief of police.

The Same Old BRYAN.

We are obliged to Mr.. Bryan.
He has confirmed our prediction that
he would clarity the issue which he
presented to the country in his pre-
vious presidential campaigns. He has
abandoned none of the beliefs which
he professed in 1896. He is more rad
ical than he was then and still believes
that free coinage of silver would CON
tribute to the general prosperity.
While he does not make it clear how
he will deal specifically with the sew
eral phases of the problem of wealth
in its relation to the commonwealth,
he announces that his cure will be
drastic and that he will shortly tackle
the tariff, railroad and trust questions
and Imperialism.
He will not stretch his hand across
the bloody gulch to grasp that of the
safe and sane" He will be glad to
see them, in any number, and will per-
NIT them to stand close up to him, but
they have got to come across by them
selves.
For Mr.. Bryan there must be a rad
ical democracy or none at all.-Cleve
land Leader.

HERE is AN INSPIRING THEME.
What Sound Tariff Legislation Has
Done for the Country.

Had it not been for Republican tar
fff legislation the United States might
still be an agricultural country almost
solely, as it was in Jefferson's days,
and as 1t remained along to the time OF
the Republicans entrance into power.
The Republican house of representa-
tiyes elected in 1858, in the middle OF
Buchanan's term, passed the Morrill,
tariff bill which went through the
Democratic senate after the Republic
ans gained control of it through the
retirement Of the southern members
who followed their states into the con-
federacy. AS Pennsylvania was one of
the leading champions of the bill, Bu-
chanan signed it just before he stepped
out OF office. From that hour to the
present the aim of the Republicans has
been to give adequate protection to
every domestic industry which needed
protection. This policy has been fol-
lowed continuously, except in thescase
of the 'perhdy and dishonor" Demo
cratic tariff of 1894 which the Repub-
Gcans displaced by the Dingley tariff
when they reentered power in 1897.
AS a consequence of this wise Repub-
lican legislation, the United States
went to the front as q manufacturing
nation in 1880, beating England in that
year Our lead over that country,
which is our nearest rival, has been
constantly lengthening in the past
quarter of a century. Under Repub-
lican tariffs Our eYDOrtS of all sorts of
merchandise have increased, but the
gain has been especially large in
manufactures. In this field a country's
capabilities and intelligence are put to
the supreme test, for there tho com
petition is strongest in the markets
of tho world. BY that test the United
States has won notable conquest3, and
the Republican party has achieved tri-
umphs which are the pride of its own
members and of the American people
in general. 1t was in 1900 that Count
Goluchowski, the Austrian minister of
foreign affairs, declared that Europe
would be compelled to combine to re-
sist the American commercial inva-
sion," if Europe intended to retain it's
industrial independence. For Europe
the American commercial invasion"
as shown by our exports Of $600000,-
600 of manufactures, is far more por-
tentious to-day than it was six years
ago. Here is an inspiring theme for
Republican stump speakers for the
congressional campaign of 1906.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

American Women Not Beautiful.

The gaekwar of Baroda could not
find our beautiful American women,
He discovered them to be bright, in.
dependent and self possessed but not
beautiful.
Are we to accept the gaekwar's die
tum as final or shall we first institute
some inquiry as to his standard OF
beauty? Curious as it may SEEM
beauty, which ought to be universally
recognized, is very much the creature
of conventions. Standards Of beauty,
and BY beauty we, of course, mean
female beauty, that being the only
kind which really counts with gaek
wars either in Baroda or Omaha,
vary greatly. Some ages have ad
mired styles which to us seem abb
horrent While the magazines are
advertisements of ladies who have
reached a condition of embonpoint,
which is the standard of beauty in
Morocco, we might expect the text to
inform one how to treble double
chin. But the advertisement is really
an announcement of an unfailing
method to get thin. On the opposite
page we shall possibly run upon a
picture of a somewhat spare female
whose not unpleasant contour we are
Informed contains holes, depressions
and other imperfections which can
be removed in three weeks by appli
cations of Dr. Fillemout's electric
salve. Yet the Greeks thought the
spare lady was the goods" In Eng
land We understand that beautiful
woman is one who has apple-red
cheeks and large feet In Africa the
dusky belle is valued, not so much
for what nature has done for her as
for the size of the ring and pendant
dangling from her nose. In France
beauty is a matter of millinery and
lingerie, at least more so than in the
South Sea islands. In some countries
zling witness. In others they black
en- their teeth to the point of which
we should denounce as hideous. The
Chinese women pinch their feet, the
American women their waists. All of
these seemingly irreconciliable con-
tradictions, says the Minneapolis
Tribune, undertaken in the search
for beauty bring us back to the main
proposition that beauty is local is-
sue. If we think our American wom-
en- beautiful they are beautiful. If
the gaekwar prefer his enameled lady
in fluffy pants" that style goes in
Baroda, but is not necessarily in Bos-
ton.

Inform of Guns and Men
to Come to Cuba.
BANDERA KILLED
The Cuban Insurgents Lose One ct
Their Most Daring leaders
Captured Another Town.

Havana, Cuba.-Font Sterling, sec
retary of the treasury, late Thursday
night cleared up in a statement to the
Associated Press a misleading an
nouncement made at the palace last
night to the effect that the Cuban
government had asked the United
States government for eight rapid
fire guns manned by American artil-
lerymen to be used in the suppression
OF the insurrection. The facts are,
according to the secretary, that the
government has ordered from an
American arms manufacturing com
pany four rapid fire guns and that
these pieces will be manned by former
members of the artillery branch of
the American army now here.
The killing of the insurrectionary
leader Gen. Quentin Bandera, in an
engagement Thursday between rural
guards and band of his followers is
regarded as dealing the insurrection
a heavy blow The government is
acting with energy in sending rural
guards and volunteers against the
Santa Clara rebels and ia sending $50
more men to defend Pinar Del Rio
against Pino Guerra. The capture of
San Juan de Martinez by Guerra's
band was not great surprise, though
1T was not expected to occur so soon.
The place was protected by a very
small detachment of rural guards,
while Guerras strength was much
greater.
The taking of Pinar Del Rio will
be quite another matter, since there
are in that vicinity twice as many
troops as the insurgent Pine Guerra
can muster. 1t is regarded as more
than probable that the troops will
take the offensive and if possible
draw Guerra into an open fight.
While government reinforcements
are going forward, Guerras following
is not believed to have been geatly
augmented by his occupation of the
two Vuelta Abajo towns.
Public opinion appears to vary ac-
cording to locality, from enthusiastic
adherence to the government to re-
bellion In this city the general at
titude is one of loyalty. The opposi-
ton and independent newspapers
discuss with analytical coldness the

to squelch the insurrection within
two months, other forcefu means
must be employed for the restoration
of peace.
General Manager Livesey, of the
Western railroad, received a message
Thursday from Pine Guerra, forward
ed from San Juan De Martinez, say
ing: Il am in possession of your
station. If any more troops are sent
over the Western railroad | will blow
up the bridges and destroy your
property"
The government has not made
public the news of the capture of San
Juan De Martinez by insurgents. The
editor of the Post, which paper pub
lished an extra containing the news,
was summoned before Gov. Nunez
and censured for exciting the public
by publishing sensational news un-
favorable to the government. Gov.
Nunez declared that he would recon-
mend to President Palma the estab-
iishment of censorship. The news
papers of Havana do not believe that
President Palma will approve of such
move, as despite constant flood of
rumors the newspapers have pub
lished only facts.
