COST OF TIE PHILIP IVES.

In an apparent preparation for
launching a campaign of charges of
extravaganza against the administra-
ton at Washington, some of the demo-
cratic leaders have been making an
effort to secure a detailed statement
of the cost of maintaining the govern
ment of the Philippines. In the clos
ing days of congress Mr.. Clay OF
Georgia introduced q resolution in the
senate calling for Information as to
the cost Of the Philippines to date.
A similar resolution was offered in the
house by Mr.. Clark Of Florida. but
both resolutions we're voted down, the
administration leaders explaining that
all the data desired could be found in
the annual and printed reports of the
bureau of irsular affairs and the re-
ports of the War department. Some
of the anti-imperialists in New Eng
land have taken fresh courage from
this movement in congress and are
beginning to send out statistics show
ing the enormous sums of money
drawn from the treasures of France,
Germany and Italy in carrying out the
colonial policies of those governments.
The new issue promises to be short
lived. The records of the govern
ments dealings with the Philippines
are public and open. and nothing con-
tanned in them can be construed, even
by tortuous methods familiar to poll
ticians, into a charge OF extravaganza.
The congress originally voted $4,000
900 to Spain. as q result of COM
promise, the United States refusing to
recognize the bonded publications Of
the Philippine islands before our pos
session of them. Another appropriation
Of $4,000, 900 was made for relief Of
famine sufferers In the Philippines
several years ago. That is the total
OF American expenditures in the Phil
ippines, except for the maintenance
of the army and navy forces on
duty in the islands. The govern
ment Of the Philippine islands levies
its own taxes and meets all expenses
incident "a the administration Of civil
government, including the improve
ment of rivers and harbors, the main
tenance Of lighthouses, marine hos
pital and quarantine services, the
maintenance Of postofhee and telegraph
systems, and ali the expenses of the
home government. In addition, a sys-
TEN of municipal government has been
devised by which the different towns
and cities construct and maintain their
own light and water plants and other
public utilities. all Of which are paid
from revenues obtained by island tax.

The Philippines have borne these ex

will be devoted from time to time tc

Private capital. no less than the public

a marked difference between Hartman in
action and Harrimsn in repose. Respecting
the latter, little is known because when
he shuns business AFFAIRS and retires TO
the privacy OF his home his doings cease
to interest reporters. II was the good
fortune OF Frederick Palmer TO be a fellow
passenger with Hartman in his trip from
Yokohama to San Francisco and had album
dant opportunity to observe his traits at
close range. In the current Issue OF Col

of his observations and impressions, which
