ware, saddlery goods, boots and shoes.
Other lines not very active as yet. Warm

come to any American industry by a lower Philippine tariff, while material benefit win be conferred upon the Filipinos. It is possible that lower tariff would not harm any American industry-on the contrary. 1t Is ap- parent that reduced duties on raw sugar and tobacco would do great good to the sugar and tobacco trusts. But would the Filipinos reap any ben eft! They do not own the sugar and tobacco plantations of the islands. The American sugar trust Is already large iy in control of the sugar of the Phil ippines. If the tariff were to be re duced. would the poor Filipinos work ing on the sugar plantations receive an increase of wages? Not unless the trusts suffer from softening of the heart in the tropics.
 If the proper policy to pursue to- ward the Fslipinos is to enlarge their privileges of self government and to make them self-sustaining, there should be no further action tending toward closer commercial or political connection with the United States. Perhaps it is idle to indulge in rne hope that some day the United Statee will be free of the Philippines, tut if Is true that a great body of the Amer. ican people cherish sudh hope. They endure the burden of governing the islands with measurable patience. be cause they think 1t will not last for. ever. They are willing to provide against famine. pestilence or hsur- rection among the Filipinos, and ocir erwise fulfill any obligations imposed by sovereignty over them. But they do not contemplate any close com munion with the Filipiuos and do not recognize any moral obligation to throw the American markets open to the people who have monopolized the products of the islands.

THE PRESIDENTS INDIVIDUALITY.

 Two good fairies were at his christ ening; one gave him candor and the other good fortune.
 Suppose Andrew Jackson had perpe trated that Panama business and made that fy-by-night 'republic?' Andy would have been successfully impeached Suppose Grover Cleve land had mustered out without hon or" these negro troops? All sorts O indignation would have sprung up John Browns bones would have rat tied in the grave and meetings would have been. held all over the north where Garrison and Gddings, Sumne and Stevens.

 It is unfortunate for the negro tha he is a ward There is nothing nor true than if white troops had 'isho up' Brownsville and been dishonol ably discharged for it. not whimpe .of disapprovai would have been hear, from ocean to ocean. On the contrar the entire electorate would have said Amen.
 But Roosevelt can stand it. He the only man who can stand it. MI 1Esons of democrats are with him. though we have never had presider more consemptuous of the cardinal principles of the democratic part than he.

HE PhIliPPiNE TARIFF.

The president seems to cling to the idee that the United States is some how morally bound to provide lower tarin on goods imported from the Philippines The country thus far has failed to become alive to any such obligation. The mere fact that 1he Philippines are under the Ameri- can flag does not call for the removal of all barriers to their incorporation into the union The administration. in fact, has dore many things to prove th.. t1c Philippines are not and never can be a part of the union. J. is safe to assert that the people oa this country do not want closer con hection with the islands or tss island era. They feel that they have al ready done as much as the tend real conscience could demand. They aayt rpent millions in pacifying tho is' ands and givfrr sse-, srSssee and th' beginnings of local government Mex spring, as the president points out the Fiiipinos will be granted a legis iafive assembly.

AN HONORABLE MAN.

Recent events have served to illus. trate in a forcible manner how po- tent may be the use Of one mans name in the business world. The Aetna bank. at Butte. -dontana, failed
 short time ago. This bank was or
 sanized a good many years ago by
 F. Augustus Heinze, tne copper mag
 nate. who became lis president. and
 whose name attracted business and
 inspired confidence. in 1903 MT.
 Heinze withdrew from the organiza.
 ton. The fact was advertised at the time, but it did not spread far, and consequently up to the time of the
 failure many people believed the in- stitution to be controlled by or at
 least closely Identified with Heinze, whose great wealth and enormous re
 sources served as guarantee of
 soundness. It was not until the fail
 ure that many depositors learned that Heinze was no longer connected with
 the bank. A reckoning of the assets
 leaves the deposi.ors considerably short. ana there Is little prospect Il 1 is believed. of any material increase 1 in them in the future. At this juno iture MT. Heinze comes forward anc 1 does that which he Is under no lega or moral obligation to do, gives hii \ own check for s10a.0oo cash ss pres eut to the depositors. increasing th' wrecked iust,suton's assets about 2 ! per cent and materially assisiinl
 those who are suffering from the fai
 ure. It is explained that MT. Heinz does this because be realizes that tn , connection of his name with the ban had continued after his separstio from it. though without his consen r or desire, and in the face of his pull lie announcement of withdrawal H | feeis that his name, therefore. hs ! cost the depositors something, and hi ! voluntary gift is in payment of ths D moral debt This Is an act of ]u ]. tlce which might properly be emula Q ed by many fnanciers who do nc t even assumc the obligations whic ,; rest upon them under the letter lthe law.

Not Afraid to Work.

The board of directors of the
Business Mems Association had q
meeting yesterday at which they
heard reports from their represent
atives on the Greater Washington
train. They were told that the
news o. the Capitals commerce al
awakening had not only reached
our Southern markets, but had been
favorably received; that the mer-
chants of Southern cities were more
than willing to buy from Washing
ton wholesalers and jobbers; that
it was their preference to buy here
if they could; and that the work
which now waited for Washington
to do was to advertise its ability to
supply their trade, Further, the
directors seriously discussed meth
DDS of making the proposed 10000
club an effective organization to
raise funds for this work.
