SENATOR HALES CHALLENGE.

During the debate, in the United States
Senate, on Monday, Of the resolution pro-
testing against any interference by this
government with the controversy abong
European Powers, over Morocco, Senator
Hale said
Il do not regret this discussion. l am
one of those who do not believe that all
matters. not only treaties but negotia-
tions, should be discussed by the Senate
with closed doors Nor do | believe the
Senate should stand dumb when a danger
GUS negotiation is going on. There is
safety to the country in the participation
of the Senate. There is danger in the
possible action of the Executive. Sup
pose an Executive should undertake to
negotiate a treaty that involved danger
10 the country. Must the Senate wait
until the mischief is done? If an Execu-
tive, taking advantage Of his power
should undertake 10 commit the country
20 a war policy, the Senate and the
House would not be slow to sound
warning by n Joint resolution"
The words of the Maine Senator were
listened to by q profoundly silent SEN
ate. Senators looked at him as if real
izing the fact that it was his purpose to
compress into his remarks the sentiment
of the cloakrooms and the touches that
the President was sorely in need of a
warning. His next utterance was even
more startling
81 do not belive that the Secretary Of
State will allow this country to be in
volved. / do wish The Secretary Of State
and the President had not accepted this
invitation and decided to send delegates
TO this conference. II is clear that it is a
Simon pure outright political conference.
With such a conference we have no con-
oern-the less concern the better If the
matter came up now | should hope the
Secretary Of State and the President
would hesitate 10 send delegates.
"Ihe danger is not from the President
OF the Secretary of State, but from the
aseendance and promise of the war spirit
in the country. For this the President is
not accountable. The Secretary of State
is not accountable. So far as our trade
interests in Morocco are concerned we
could negotiate a treaty in sixty days
that would secure all that we desire in
that direction
"ln this conference, while two Of the
great Powers of Europe have their hands
at each others throats our commerce
will not have an ounces weight. 1t would
be much better if we could keep our
hands of. But we shall get out of this
without being entangled My mind is as
clear as a crystal on this. If at any time
the danger arises that the delegates from
this country shall have 10 vote in a way
to aggrieve either France or Germany the
Secretary of State can telegraph them to
withdraw from tn conference. 1 believe
he will do that if the emergency arises"

PresIdent of the Levv COM.

The motives which may have actuated
the members Of the Levy Court in electing
Robert McFarlin president of that body
are past finding out He lacks the essen
tial qualifications for the position, and is
undoubtedly the poorest selection that
could have been made from the entire
MEMBERSHIP.
That suspicion will attach to this action
is only natural. That interested tax
payers will inconsequence, closely scrutin-
ize the proceedings Of the Levy Court dur
ing the coming year is q logical sequence
The fact that McFarln received some
Democratic votes win create a natural
distrust Of these Democratic members
among their Democratic constituents
He holds a position to which a Democrat
was honestly elected, but was robbed of
the office in a scandalous manner. No
Democrat who had any regard for his
party could have consented to vote for
MoFarlin's elevation to the presidency.
McFarlin was elected to succeed one Of
the most capable and competent members
Of the Levy Court, Mr. C. Candy Hopkins,
whose official record clearly entitled him
to reelection. Why his Republican
colleagues reinined from continuing
him in Office is left to conjecture
and they may blame but themselves
If conjecture proves to be uniavorable.
However, Mr. Hopkins has his place
on the floor of the Levy Court, and the
community will be mistaken in the man
and deceived in his known sentiments
as learned from recent expressions by him.
If he shall fail to do his best TO counteact
whatever evil or improper motives may
have entered into the selection Of his sue
cessor.

AZ one Of the Congressional hearings at
the Ayuntamiento, the capitol building
of the Philippine Islands. last summer,
writes Mr.. Atherton Brownel for Public
Opinion, an aged and venerable Filipino
gentleman made an address which was the
soul OF wit, if brevity be such, and which
went as straight to the mark as an arrow
from the bow. After hours of proliX
verbose and redundant oratory, this
gentleman arose, spoke for moment in
the Tagalog language, and resumed his
seat. Vast curiosity ceniered about the
interpreter as be began to translate this,
the shortest speech Of tho season. As
nearly as it may be recalled from memory
il was as follows:
Gentlemen, ! want 10 ask two ques-
tions. If the Philippine Islands are a
part of the United States territory why
are they not entitled as a matter Of right
TO the admission Of their goods to the
mother country free of duty? If they arc
not a part of the United States territory
why are they not entitled to their indie
pendence?
These questions were met with absolute
silence on the part Of our Congressman.
Leaning over to the chairman of an im-
portant House committee, said in a stage
whisper "Why don't you answer him?
"There ain any answer to that, came
back the reply.
That is, in effect the whole Of the plea Of
the Filipino for free trade with the United
States. It is an appeal to our sense Of
Justice. In their picturesque aud hgura-
tive way, the PHILIPPINE speakers had been
setting forth their sorry industrial plight,
the imminence Of the crisis that is impend-
ing, and asking for mercy when Gen. Gros-
venor in a speach delivered himself OF this
admonition: ado not plead with the
Americans for mercy; ask them for justice
in very much the same manner that the
heroine Of the melodrama seeking the
centre Of the limelight and shivering in the
fast-falling paper snow, informs the gallery
that"rags are royal raiment when worn for
virtues sake.
If Gen. Grosvenor's remark expresses
the sense Of Congress, says Mr.. Anterior,
then there is no mead Of discussing the SUBJ
jet Of free trade with the Philippines; all
that is necessary is to set forth It's justice
and the injustice and the economic
futility Of our p esent trade rela-
tons with tho islands, as we'll as the
illogical and inconsistent policy we
have followed in tho matter of trade and
industrial legislation. We have changed
our view Of our wards as It has suited our
convenience. To protect our home sugar
planters and tobacco growers, including
those Of Porto Rico and Hawaii, from the
fancied possibility Of Philippine COMPETE
ton we have looked upon this territory as
foreign soil and set up our tariff wall
against it. For the express purpose of
aiding our merchant marine in the Pacific
we have in other laws, declared the coast.
line Of the Philippine Islands to be a par
Of the United States.

nobling than the action of Capt Casio and

City on Sunday, in rescuing the passengers

IN The face OF what seemed TO be certain
death and aotuated by no other motive
than that Of saving life, these men
went hrayely upon their desper-
ate mission. That they succeeded so
signally is the most splendid tribute TO their
daring and courage Mene words fail in
attempting to set down the measure of
their triumph.
Medals these heroes viii receive. of
course but their reward should be Of a
more substantial character. No money
may measure the value of their services
but money they should have, an the same.
Every man Of that noble band should be
placed in a financial position which will
make him secure from want for the bal
ance Of his life.
