Prince Henry’s Visit. The visit of Prince HENRY has been properly made an occasion of much im- portance in this country. Even if there were no other reason than that he is the brother of the Emperor of Germany he would be entitled to courteous attention. A large proportion of the citizenship of this country, and some of the very best of our adopted citizens, have come from that Empire and whether brief or long residents, they cherish with a peculiar fondness the traditions of the fatherland. Out of com- pliment to them, therefore, it is fit that the brother of their Emperor, himself, a dis- tinguished and capable officer of their navy, should be received in this country with distinguished consideration and generous hospitality. But there are other reasons why PRINCE HENRY should be made much of during his visit in this country. He is an am- bassador of fraternity and a messenger of peace between two countries which have been in relations of amity from the begin- ning of our government. Notwithstand- ing the boasts of friendship made by Great Britain it is known that it was Germany, fatber than England, which prevented a movement for adverse foreign intervention at the time of the breaking out of the war with Spain and one of the purposes of the visit is to accentuate the feelings which in- duced that friendship. It is the duty and ought to be the pleasure of Americans to not only foster but in every possible way promote that amiable purpose. Moreover the reputation for hospitality which the people of the United States have acquired during the century and a quarter of national life is to be maintained aud the present is no time to lower a standard of which we have every reason to be proud. No distinguished foreigner has ever had reason to complain of a want of courtesy or a lack of hospitality here, Even the dis- tingaished Chinaman, Li HUNG CHANG, was feted and the Prince of Wales, though at the time of his visit only a boy, was re- ceived with quite as generous a welcome as that which attended the landing of PRINCE HENRY on Sunday. In fact it was nothing more than the distinguished guest deserved and we hope there will be no diminution of the enthusiasm until the end of his visit. Tillman and McLaurin, The disgraceful incident which shocked the Senate in Washington on Saturday and outraged the country when the detail#®” w ere made public later on, caunot be sad- dled on to Senator TiLLMAN. That cu- riously organized individual was to blame for losing his temper when his more strangely constituted colleague lost his head. But the conduct of TILLMAN was no more reprehensible than the behavior of McLAURIN was reprobative and the conn- try will not be satisfied with a judgment w hich condemns one and éxculpates the other. Admitting that one acted the part of a blackguard it follows that the other behaved like a ruffian and they must be treated alike. It may be said, however, that the mat- ter will not be thus justly disposed of, In other words the signs indicate that TiLL- MAN is to be punished and McCLAURIN al- lowed to go scot free or visited with a mild censure, something in ‘the nature of a love- tap. The Senate will be a step-mother to the Populist and a loving mother to the recreant. This was clearly revealed in the action of the President on Monday. When he withdrew his invitation to TILLMAN to ‘the dinner in honor of Prince HENRY, he gave the tiene’ to the Senate committee on privileges and elections to roast him. That the ‘‘tip’’, will be acted upon to the full measure there is no doubt. The Liow struck by TILLMAN was pro- voked by the language of his colleague. The Paris treaty was under discussion at the time and TILLMAN declared that its ratification had been procared by question- able methods. SPOONER led him on to the declaration that his colleague had been in-. flaenced to vote for it by the consideration. of the power of dispensing the federal pat- ronage in his State. MCLAURIN replied that that was a deliberate and malicious lie. TILLMAN’S response was a blow and the fight followed. After order was re- stored both apologized, but neither was pardoned. Since the action of the Presi- dent, however, it may be predicted that TILLMAN will be condemned and Mc- LAURIN exonerated. . a an earned i Ca ) ——=Speakiug of the HARRIS, libel trial the Clearfield Republican, pays the follow- ing deserved: tribute to. the attorneys! who so sucessfully conducted the de- fense: “Too much credit cannot be jiven ex-Judge D.

The esteemed Philadelphia 7Zimes is au- thority for the statement that Col. GUFFEY, member of the Democratic national com- mittee for this State, has informed the Democratic leaders of certain senatorial districts that the recreant Senators who brought first confusion and finally disgrace on the Democratic party during the last session of the Legislature must not be re- nominated. Of course if Col. GUFFEY has given any sign on the subject 1b was simply the expression of a hope that the wretched recreants would not be returned. To in- form the Democratic leaders of any sena- torial district by a resident of some other district as to whom they must or must not nominate would be offensive and provoke resentment. Col. GUFFEY is too good a Democrat and too sagacious a politi- cian to do any such thing. But we sincerely hope that Col. GUFFEY has made up his mind to use all his very considerable influence to keep boodlers out of the next Legislature and especially to keep them out of the Democratic contin- gent in that body. If it had not heen] for the half dozen traitors to the Democratic party who by some inexplicable process got into each branch of the last Legislature un- der the mask of Democracy the shameful record of that body never would have been written. The boodlers, franchise grabbers and municipal rippers who subsequently looted wherever there was even the sus- picion of loot, would never have. had the opportunity to control the legislation of the session if every Senator and Representative elected as a Democrat had been faithful. If Col. GUFFEY, with his energy and abil- ity, will use all his influence through the people and the Democratic State Conven- tion to prevent the nomination of the bood- lers of the last session and those who hope to be boodlers in the next as Democratic candidates for Senator and Representatives in the Legislature, and the other Democrat- ic leaders in all parts of the State will give him their aid and support in the good work there will be no repetition of the fiascos of the last session during the next. But to attempt to dictate to any district the nomi- nees it should choose would be an usurpa- tion of authority that Denocrats every- where would resent. Col. GUFEEY is right in advising the Democracy to steer clear of the boodlers in their own ranks. They will be wise if they heed that advice. Ey ——JorN K. THOMPSON and postmaster ANDY BOLGER, of Philipsburg, who repre- sent the stalwart end of it on that side of the mountain, were in town Tuesday night. If their visit had any political significance few people found it out. There was a story going here that they are after Mr. BoL- GER’S official scalp, but he didn’t look like a man who had been losing much sleep over it. : Thankfal That it is Seo. The disastrous blow the state machine received at the February elections in Pitts- burg, Harrisburg, Seranton and other cities has not, as it was feared it would, re- tired the machine candidate for Governor, Mr. ELKINS, from the field. In fact the ring and political heelers back of him seem more determined than ever, that he shall be the Republican nominee and if matters, in that party, progress as they have been doing since the election he will be nominat- ed practically with out opposition. And this is just what every honest opponent of the infamous methods and cor-’ rupt practices of the gang that has got its clutches upon this great Commonwealth desires. It was the fear that adverse re- sults at the local elections would frighten the men who have heen debauchbing the public offices about Harrisburg, and dis- gracing the State into wiping Mr. ELKINS name from the slate, and placing’ upon it some SIMON SLICK, who could he all things to all men until after elected and ‘would then serve his masters as a creature of the ring would be expected to do. But this is not to be. Mr. ELKINS is to be made the candidate in defiance of the protest that the recent elections voiced, and the people of the State should thank the Lord | that it is to be so. There can be no deception then in the coming campaign. There can be no fool- ing the voter who wants to cast his ballot against the methods of the machine. There can be no skulking or dodging on the part of those who profess abhorrence of the dis- honest practices that have so disgraced Penpsylvania during the time of the pres- ent administration. The issues will be so plain and positive that the veriest chump in politics will understand them, and will know when casting his vote that it mast | be either for or against a continuation of the crimes and the profligacy that the peo- ple are now crying out against. For the determination of the “‘gang’’ to make Mr, ELKINS the noniinee we should alLbeAbAnKERL., ici Suiits It will give the people of the State an opportunity to kuow exactly what they are doing, and it will givé the Démodracy a hope that they have’ not had for many, many years, = bilan Curious Judicial Interpretations. The decision of the United States Su- preme court, handed down on Monday, in the matter of the application of the State of Minnesota for permission to bring suit against the Northern Securities company suggests, or rather emphasizes, the fact that the power of the courts is growing into dangerous proportions in this country. It may justly be said that in the beginning there was no danger from that source. The fathers of the Republic apprehended that the executive department might encroach upon the prerogatives of its co-ordinate branches of the government and considered gravely the subject of restraints, but there were no terrors with respect to the judicial department. : " During recent years, however, conditions have changed and now the department of the government which gives the gravest cause for apprehensions is that which in the beginning was regarded as especially harmless. Only a few years ago one of the great parties was compelled to protest against the increasing tendency to govern- ment by injunction and, though corporation lawyers and monopoly managers protested that the sanctity of the courts had been assailed, that proved the most popular fea- ture of the Democratic platform of 1896. All the people didn’t realize fully the danger they were in bat most of them un- derstood that it was serious, if not critical. In the recent trial in Clearfield the rules of evidence were invoked to prevent the in- troduction of proof of frand which would have abundantly established cause for the publication which was alleged to be libelous. Tn the Minnesota case the rules of evidence are made to serve the purpose of justifying a decision that the conrt has no jurisdiction to enforce the fun- damental Jaws of States violated under the provisions of the federal constitution which authorize Congress to regulate commerce be- tween the States. Now as a matter of fact, if the authority for the combination is in the federal statutes, it follows that the federal court has jurisdiction to inquire into the matter. The Cuban Tariff, "Phe proposition to enact a reciprocity law ‘making a twenty per cent, reduction in tariff rates on goods imported from and ex- ported to Cuba is simply an insult to the intelligence ‘of ‘the people of both countries. A twenty per cent. reduction is of no prac- tical use. Even a fifty per cent. reduction would be inadequate. What is really needed is a complete abolition of the cus- toms duties on commerce between the two countries. That would cost this country nothing for there is not now and can’t be in the near future any industrial competi- tion. But it would be of vastadvantage to the people of Cuba. : Before the Spanish war Cuba was a Span- ish colony and as such ‘had the open mark- ets of the mother country for her products.. The products of Cuba were as free and as welcome in Madrid then as those of Barce- lona or any other Spanish province or de- pendency. Bunt when the Island was sepa: rated by the war and became, so far as Spain is concerned, an alien colony, the same tariff regulations were enforced against ber as prevailed against any other foreign land. The result was naturally that Cuba had to look elsewhere for mark- ets. Naturally. likewise she looked to the United States who had practically tak- en the place of Spain as the mother coun- try. ¥ ; : But how are her expectations with re- spect to this country met. The President of the United States promptly declared that ‘we are under moral obligation to falfill the ‘hope. ‘The Secretary of War admits that it is a crime to do otherwise,and the Governor General of Cuba informs the country that failure to’ perform the | plain ‘duty means starvation to the people of Cuba. But the beet sugar trust and the tobacco trast in- tervene and our moral obligations ate dis- regarded, our humanitarianism cast to the winds and we offer a paltry twenty per cent. which is equivalent to nothing. Obligations are nothing, the trusts are everything. It Was Our Mistake. For some reason, for’ which there is n satisfactory explanaticn even to the editor, the name of JOHN WAYNE, of Rush town- ship, was announced in the WATCHMAN of last week, as being a candidate for the nom- ination for county commissioner. Mr. WAYNE is not an aspirant for that bonor and, as far as we know, has had no notion of entering the field, but WILLIAM FRANK, another prominent citizen of Rush, is a candidate and it was his name that should have been announced. a a How Mr. WAYNE’S name was substitut-’ ed for that of Mr, FRANK will ever remain one of the many unsolvable mysteries of a. newspaper office and’ we make this public notice of correction in order that Mr. FRANK'S aspirations may not be prejudiced by the error in this office. | tld errr 114 i ~——Buhseribe for the WATC HMWAN. A “Leg” on the Deputy Sheriff. From the Philipsburg Bituminous Reeord. In the first stages of the late trial of Ed- itor P. Gray Meek a number of important witnesses were conspicuous by their ab- sence. One of the badly wanted who had not turned up was speaker William T. Marshall, of Allegheny, and deputy sher- iff James A. Moore, was sent after him. Moore is a plain everyday countryman, and armed with several warrants he went to Philadelphia, where he had heard if was possible tb find Marshall around the Wal- ton or Stratford hotels. In the city he was directed down Broad street, but he did not know just where the two hotels were situated. Just after passing Chest- nut street he noticed a sharp-looking man standing on the pavement in front of the Lafayette, smoking a stogie. “That fellow looks bright enough to know where the Walton or Stratford hotel is,”’ thought Moore. ‘‘I’ll ask him.” He did know were the two hotels were located, and he very politely directed the Clearfield deputy sheriff to them. Moore made an unsuccessful search for his man all day but managed to get one or two oth- ers he wasafter and started west on the Pa- cific express that evening. Going into the smoking compartment of the sleeper whom should he again see but the affable strang- er he had meet at the Lafayette. Moore rec- ognized him at once, and striking up a conversation gradually unfolded the rea- son for making his trip to Philadelphia. The stranger heard the tale without mov- ing a muscle, and then with a ‘Permit me to introduce myself,”’ handed Moore his card. Ob it were engraved the words, William T. Marshall. Then Mr. Marshall explained that he was goinz to Clearfield anyway, and there was no use in serving the bench warrant upon him. A Sancho Panza With a Brain. Muddled From the North American. It would have been better for our coun- try if we never had taken the Philippines, Governor Taft admits, but, having commit- ted the blunder, he can see no way of avoiding the evil consequence. He thinks we should continue the work of benevolent assimilation “‘in the missionary spirit,’’ and trust to luck for such results as may possibly justify us or excuse our mistakes. When asked if the United States should avail itself of an honorable opening for withdrawing from the islands, Governor Taft dodges the question and asserts that there will he no such opening. He does uot want to find a way out of a false prop- osition; his only correction of an original blunder is to ‘‘muddle through’ and it must be admitted that Governor Talt is do- -ing his best to make a muddie of the hnsi- ness: So long as the policy of forcible annexa- tion is persisted in, no solution of the Phil- ippine question consistent with the prin- ciples of free government is possible. Gov- ernment either does or does not derive its just powers from the consent of the gov- erned, and a Republic cannot maintain one proposition at home and act upon the other abivad without disaster to itself in the end. Conpgress must look to clearer-headed and broader-minded counselors than our Phil- ippine Sancho Panza for guidance out of the morass of imperialism. Philippine Independence. From the Gunton’s Magazine. Evidence is daily increasing that the public mind is getting round to a sane at- titude on the Philippine question. The number who believe that taking the Philip- pines was a blunder, and that the attempt to force American institutions upon the | Filipinos will be further bungling, are rapidly increasing. Even President Schar- man of Cornell is getting in line on this subject. In a recent address before the Reform club in Boston, he said : : “The Filipinos are to develop along their own’ racial lines, not along ours, and it is colossal conceit and impudence to disparage them because they are different from our- selves. Any decent kind of government of the Filipinos by the Filipinos is better than the possible government of the Filipinos by Americans.” : : That sounds the true note in the whole situation. For the United States to pre-. tend to impose our form of government or type of society upon the Filipinos is indeed. ‘*colossal conceit,’’ and the poorest kind of statemanship. It will not be long before the American people will be heartily sick ‘of thie Philippine prize, and will insist that the Filipinos not only be permitted, but. be urgently invited to govern themselves. Imperialism Comes High. From the Huntingdon (Ind.,) News-Democrat. Patriotism does not consist of hysterical clamor for a big army and a big navy. The man who loves his country properly wants’ the business of the country conducted in the interest of all. For a country whose’ motto is ‘‘Peace’” the United States is be- ing held ‘up in fine style. We are paying ‘| two million dollars a week to run our army. Leaving pensions out of the account, it costs us $1,289 to maintain one soldier a year, which is over five times what it costs to maintain a soldier in the expensively equipped armies of Europe. We pay hig for our army and if all the money went for the comfort of the soldier nobody would complain. It goes where money generally goes in this bhigh-salaried country; nor does it always go where it will do the most: good. We raised an appropriation of $118,- 000,000 last year to meet the needs of an army of 100,000 men, and even that was’ several millions below the estimate of the War Department.
