To drive Elkins from the track And to give your party back Rights that you had taken from it. : Mr. Quay. But the public won't be tricked, Mr. Quay. Or the voter be gold bricked, Mr. Quay. By a fight that’s but a fake To have people think they make The candidates upon your slate, Mr. Quay. Q, it's easy to see through, Mr. Quay. The thing that you would do, Mr. Quay. You'd lay others on the the shelf And name the man yourself Just to keep the old gang in it, Mr. Quay. —ELKIN isn’t out, nor is CAMERON in, but its up to the point where the fun will begin. —How could DURHAM be expected to stay with ELKIN, ‘‘sink or swim,” when the latter ien’t ‘‘in the swim’’ any more. —Mr. ISRAEL DURHAM, not having sent up any rockets, or other signals of distress, leads to the belief that he isn’t sinking, so he must be swimming. ~ —Old Ship Subsidy seems to be having hard times getting his barque off the ways at this session of Congress. Even chief de- signer MARK HANNA isn’t able to apply enough ‘‘grease’’ to make her slip. * —It isn’t such a grave matter to Penn- sylvania that BOISE PENROSE be returned to the Upited States Senate. ‘What he has done for the State since heing its representa- tive could be told of in three lines of non- pariel. —The turn affairs have taken in the Re- publican machine camp indicates that when the army marches out to battle next No- vember there will be a new staudard-bearer in the saddle, but the same old fox will be in the rear directing the movements. —Many of those fat English peers who will find trouble in sque¢zing into the six- teen inch seats allotted to them at the King’s coronation ceremonies would have little tronble in poking their heads through a six inch hole were they given a chance to ““rubber’’ in that way. —The failure of the opening of the trong season to produce any big catches might be taken by some people as an indication that liars are gradually passing away, but we are of the opinion that such is not case. They are still with us, but there weren't enough’ trout caught on the opening day to form a fonudation. for.a good story. —We hope that the friendly y elitiohs & xr isting among the New York Democratic leaders at the Jefferson banquet on Monday night were more than mere pretense, for with HILL’s directing sagacity and Tam- many’s working ability combined there would be no question as to what colnmn the Empire State would stand on. —Judging from the way Mr. ELKIN has been dumped by ‘‘the boss’ it would ap- pear that ‘‘the old man’’ isn’t exactly sure as to which would be the better policy : To have an army of lions led by an ass or an army of asses led by a lion. Of course we look upon the latter condition as fulfilling the ELKIN candidacy. —Rev. T. DEwirt TALMAGE is dead. He was neither a great theologian nor a deep thinker, hut he preached what the peo- ple wanted to hear and his sermons have been more widely read than those of any other divine. He was a peculiar man of the cloth. Peculiar in that he used his pecu- liar pul pit gymuoastics to arrest the public attention long enough to hold it ever after interested}in his discourses. —The Chancellor of England’s exchequer estimates her war expenses for 1902 at $227,250,000, which goes to show that Oom PAuL knew what he was talking about when he predicted, two years ago, that if the Boers were conquered it would he at a «cost of blood and treasure that would stag- ger humanity. Surely England is stagger- . ing under such a terrible burden and if it ; continues mach longer Johnny Bull, him- self, will become an ‘‘absent minded beg- gar.” —Benevolent assimilation is progressing lovely in the Philippines. At the tiial of Maj. WALLER, a member of the marine «corps for wanton cruelty, a few days ago, it developed that he had been instructed by Gen. SMITH, commanding the depart- ment, to kill every native over ten vears of age and make the country look like a ‘‘howling wilderness.”” Some of the vast sums of American church money spent on foreign missions had hetter he diverted to ‘home missions, with directions to put some -of the best workers in the field at Washing- ton. —A woman up in New York State gave ‘birth to a quintet of babies on Sunday and we have been looking ever since to see how ‘GEORGE H. DANIELS, the enterprising pub- licity promoter of the New York Central, is . going to turn the remarkable progenitive | feat to the exploitation of his road.

NO. 16. Wait Awhile and Yow’ll Know More. Don’t take too much stock in the seem- ing fight now on between the boss of the state Machine and his former intended candidate for Governor. It may bein dead earnest and again it may not be. There are but few reasons why it should be as bitter and determined as many of the papers allege it is. There are many rea- sons why it may be a mere trick, intended to unload from the candidacy of Mr. EL- KIN, the contumely that he must bear as the creature of a boss and the tool of an oppressive and corrupt Machine. Mr. QUAY has said that ‘‘if he had the naming of the next Governor he would CHOOSE ELKIN As THE MAN.” We do not doubt it. He knows him. He knows he would be a pliant tool in any work that the Beaver county hoss would order done. He could count on him for any dirty job he wished to have accomplished. There is no man in the State who would be more subservient to his demands, and no one whom he could own more absolutely. From the time that ELKIN entered politics, up until the present, he has been nothing except what QUAY wanted him to be. He has followed him when others faltered. He has responded to the demands of his master as the dog does to the whistle that calls him in. He could see nothing above or beyond QUAY nor had political thought or ambition for anything except that which served the purposes of the man who now makes the pretense of pulling him down. Mr. QUAY has seldom heen charged with ingratitude, nor does he give up a good: thing when he has it. To drop ELKIN, after the uses hie has put him to, aod the bedrabbled political condition he is in, after his long service for the boss and. ‘the Machine, would be the work of. an ifi- No one will lay this sin on QUAY'S shonlders. To give him upis to lose one of his most useful and pliant henchmen. This he is not in the habit of doing. To elect him is to get just what he wants —a Governor. whom he can use and an executive whose only purpose will be to advanee fhe interests of the Machine of which QUAY is the head. Why then should the old man Jave any desire to, or purpose of defeating his nomi- nation ? We have serions doubts if he has, 4 He i is Sart ‘enoagli tose ‘that his machine: | is in bad wior with the people. He kuows that ELKIN is, or was, the candidate of that Machine. there is of its defeat at the polls, in :the present condition of politics-in this State. May not then his pretentious opposition, and ELKIN'S much vaunted defiance of his: orders,simply be a trick to relieve the latter of the contempt that honest people hold him in as the tool of the Machine for after ‘conven tion effect ? If ELKIN could be relieved of QuAyism he would be much stronger before the peo- ple. QUAY will resort to any scheme that will help him accomplish his purposes, and if his purposes were to make ELKIN the Governor, so that he might have what he wanted when he sought to elect DEL- AMATER—*‘‘a Governor whom he could call his own’’—is it not a fair suspicion that their present advertised differences, is not as much of a fight among the gang as it is a trick to deceive the public to aid the election of ELKIN. There is one thing, however; that we can be certain of, and that is, that unless QUAY can find a candidate who will serve him better at Harrisburg than ELKIN would, that the latter will have the old boss’ sup- port if he has to take his followers out be- hind the barn and whisper his commands to them. ——The new policy that is proposed by Indian Commissioner JONES, in dealing with the Nation’s wards, has such a suspic- ious look that it would be well to go into it very thoroughly when it is taken up by Congress. The idea of binding out the In- dians to contiact labor is repulsive, even though they are a lazy, indolent class, but behind this proposition of the Commission- er there may be more than a mere desire to force unwilling ones to work. The Indian reservations contain much land that is coveted by the cattlemen of the west and some of the Indians have made modest be- ginuings at cattle raising themselves it looks as though this new plan might he one to force them to quit their farms and go elsewhere to do contract labor under the sapervigion of the government. while favor- ed interests secure the privilege of herding cattle on their reservations. ——When the exports of this country were exceeding the imports, there was no end to the glorification Republican news- papers were showering upon the Republican administration. Now tbat these have changed, and the last nine months show a falling off in exports of 59 millions and an increase in imports of 79 millions over the same months of last year, the shouts from the amen coruver of the Republican con- gregation are not nearly 8o loud and long. Evidently we are approaching the end of that hoasted prosperity that Republicanism banked on continuing it in power for anoth- er term. way. He understands the danger: Governor Stowmne’s Junket. Governor STONE left Harrisburg on Taes- day morning to visit the Charleston ex- positon and preside at the ceremonies of Pennsylvania Day, on Wednesday. He had a company of eighty guests in his spec- ial train, the expenses of which including ! the feeding and sheltering of the party, were paid out of the fund appropriated by the last Legislature for the purpose of mak- ing an exhibit of the products and resources of the State. The remainder of the fund was expended in the construction of a Pennsylvania building and paying the ex- penses of the commission which has made two or three trips to the southern city. The intentions of the Legislature, at least the expressad purpose of some of the Members, was to make an exhibit for the information of the people of the Southern States and the West India Republics, of the character and quality of our agricultural products. There was a provision in the resolution requiring that $5,000 of the fund appropriated would be disharsed in that But up natil the time for the open- ing of the exposition no thought was given by the Agricultura! Department, at Harris- barg, or the commission appointed by the Legislature to carrying ont that require- ment of the joint resolution. Then the legislative committee of the State Grange called attention to the omission and the machine undertook to prepare an exhibit. It was then discovered that it was too late to make such a display as would be ored- -itable to the State and the Sitempt to do so was abandoned. Within a year the State bh spent $70,- 000 for the purpose of making exhibits at so called expositions. - If the money had been judiciously expended is couldn’t have been put to a better purpose. There is no duty of government more important than assisting the producers in finding niatkets for their products and a proper exhibit at the Pan-American “exposition at Baffalo or the Southern States and West India exposition at Charleston would have assisted greatly in this direction. The peo- ple who attended those exhibitions did so largely for the purpose of learning where they might make profitable exchanges of products. In neither instance had Penn- svlvania anything to show for the money drawn from the treasury and ib is safe to say that not a dollar” Will be’ yeturued to! the people of the State for the $70,000 ex- pended in that way. The reason is that the'money was frittered away in paying ‘the expenses of junkets for Governor STONE and those whom he gathe.s about him for such periodical sprees. Attack on the Trusts. ~ The operations of the beef trust during the past few weeks have about exhausted public patience and there has come a quali- fied promise from Washington that legal proceedings will be inaugurated at Kansas City and other seats of the trust industries to compel relief. But this promise may be dismissed as a bluff intended to placate public sentiment and appease popular wrath. The beef trust will make conces- sions of its own accord ir a few weeks and that is as soon as the legal machinery could be put in motion,even if there was an earn- est purpose to do so which there isn’t. When the trust has forced people to a vege- table diet and thus curtailed the demand for meat it will reduce prices and the tardy law department of the government will boast of its marvelous vigilance. The meat trust is like all other trusts, has its origin in the same influences and is built up and strengthened by the same causes. That being the case an attack up- on it to be effective must be accompanied by an attack upon all other trusts along the whole line. Asa matter of fact it is less amenable to the laws than some of the oth- er trusts for the reason that it is not a com- bination of industries in which the manage- ment of a number of properties issurrender- ed to aliens or other owners, as the dteel truss, the coal trust and other trust, are. The meat trust limits its operations to a regulation of prices and output while the others go the whole limit and surrender their executive and operating interests as well as their control over prices. One is probably as offensive as the other but not as clearly a violator of the law. The remedy against trustsis to attack the most odious of the lot and force it to a dissolution which might be done if the laws are efficient and the officers vigilant and capable. The trust to operate on is clearly the steel trust which is not only the bold- est in its disregard of legal restraints but the most impudent in flaunting its power. If the Attorney General means to rid the public of the trusts, let him begin proceed- ings against that billion dollar concern and the lesser combinations of .capital will promptly pause in their operations until they ascertain the resalt of the proceedings. The movement against the meat trust is all right in its way but it isn’t going to the root of the evil. The steel trust ix the great offender and it can be attacked at a dozen different points. General Schofield’s Joke. One of the most interesting witnesses who has testified. heforé a Congressional committee in recent years is Lieut. General SCHOFIELD, retired, -who was before the Senate committee on military affairs the other day. The new army bill was the subject mnder consideration and the Gen- eral frankly declared himself in favor of the proposed general staff. As Lieut. General MILES had expressed a decided opposition to that feature of the pending bill, the opinion of SCHOFIELD caused some surprise and a good deal of curiosity. Asked why ‘he favored that manifestly monarchical notion he replied that it was for the reason that it would enable the President to change the commander of the army every day and thus he would be cer- tain of a man obedient to his whims all the time. In this connection General SCHOFIELD gave the committee some surprising in- formation.. ‘The President never speaks to General MILES,’’ he remarked, ‘‘except to censure him, and the Secretaiy of War and the commander of the army never see each otherat all.”’ In other words the man who under the law is in command of y and through whom all orders to the rank and file must go is not on speak- ing terms with his only superiors in rank and necessarily the affairs of the army are in confmsion. But General SCHOFIELD will hardly sag that the fault is in General MiLgs.. He will scarcely lay the blame for an unfortunate condition of affairs on the soldier. On the contrary, soldier as he is, be must know that the responsibility for the condition he deprecates is with the lawyer who is masquerading as Secretary of War and the “broncho-buster’’. who. happens, to be President. But even if MILES ‘were responsible in- vesting the President with autocratic power to change the head of the arm y once or twice a day would not be a safe remedy. The scheme, as General SCHOFIELD states, would enable the President to appoint any Colonel or Major or even a Captain to the command of the army and invest him with authority to order Major and Brigadier Generals around at his pleasure. '1t may be possible that there are subordinates who are capable of wisely exercising such au- busing SE ab that it, gouldn’ t fail to. Sn oralizing eéffect,on the service, But ‘when the authority extends to the limit of making changes once or twice a day er as frequently as the officer revealed a personal opinion on any subject the ef- fect would be disastrous. Manifestly the old soldier was joking. ——One fact that makes people doubt the earnestness of the QUAY-ELKIN war is ‘the hesitancy each side shows in the work of telling the truth about the other. Humiliation in the Philippines. The inquiry into the conduct of the war in the Philippines is revealing some most humiliating facts. The trial of Major WALLER of the marine corps was had enough but as one of the leading British journals declared in commenting on that affair the wanton cruelty of one man casts no reflection on a whole people. But the evidence brought out in the investigation now in progress before the Senate commit- tee on Philippine affairs shows that cruelty bas been the rule and that in most cases it bas been carried beyond the limit of in- humanity. As a matter of fact butcher WEYLER in bis cruelties in Cuba was mild mannered compared with some of the of- ficers now and recently in the Philippines. The principal witness before the com- mittee last week was General MACARTHUR. From so excellent a soldier there were rea- sons to hope a good report would come. But as a matter of fact he confirmed the worst that has been charged. After ad- mitting that the Filippinos are men of keen intelligence, deft mechanics, poets and artists, susceptible of the highest order of training, he admitted that he himself had given orders to ‘‘kill if possible all natives found with arms in their hands.’ He wight as well have issued licenses to murder. The history of civilization shows no such brutality. It may wel] be believ- ed in view of that admission that Major WALLER'S superior directed him to kill all he encountered upward of ten years of age and to make the island of Samar look ‘‘like a howling wilderness.’ How long will it ve under such circum- stances until civilization is aroused to the pitch that will denounce the United States as a barbarous nation as we denounced Spain on account of less atrocious conduct in Cuba? How long can we hope that the humanitarians of the world will be silent while we are outraging every principle of civilized warfare? As sure as there is a God in heaven this conntry will suffer for these iniquities and suffer severely and those who have degraded the once high standard of civilization of this great coun- try to so low a level will be scourged by popular sentiment and justly punished by public indignation. It is unnatural and the penalty is inevitable. “used for chine and ig how turned: dawn, only: Sad Days for the Philippines. From the Pittsburg Post. Free speech and political agitation are heinous crimes in the Philippines, as is seen by the arrest and imprisonment of two newspaper editors in Manila for making disparaging comments on the Taft commis- sion. Commissioners who enjoy salaries of $15,000 annually from taxation of the Fili- pinos are not to he lightly spoken of by Manila newspapermen. When General MacArthur was asked by the Philippine commission where Mabini was, he said : ‘In Guam. I sent him there because he was an agitator.”” It isa dangerous thing to agitate in the presence of the army. Senator Patterson, of Colorado, speaking of the condition of affairs in the Philippines, as developed recently by unquestionably | authority, says: “There has been simply a carnival of slaughter in the lands. The army has eith-. er demanded absolute submission or has no quarter. The acting Governor of Batangas, who has a native name, and in whom, of course, the Philippine commission places implicit confidence, speaks not only of the. terrible reduction in the population of the province —one hundred thousand —from war,famine and disease, butsays that the result is that the confidence once felt in the American troops has disappeared aud that a feeling of hatred has taken its place. The effect upon the Filipino we know from the reports, but how brutalizing must be the murder and arson committed by American soldiefs upon the soldiers them- selves ! General Bell’s orders regarding the con- duct of the war in southern Luzon shows that every man should be considered as an enemy who failed to prove that he was actively a friend. This was a license to the American troops sent out on expedition to kill and burn. Thirty days ago I'could not have believed that American soldiers would act as these reports show. It seems to me some remedy should be applied,’ but I am fearful that nothing’ will bedone. Looking for a New Figure hed. From the Philadelphia Rec Record. The troubles and quarrels in the camp of Republican bosses and promoters in Penn- sylvania are chiefly of publie interest in so far as they may be turned to advantage in securing the choice of officials for State and Federal offices whom the bosses and pro- moters could not control. It is not dis- guised by Senator Quay. Durham, Penrose and other party leaders who oppose the nomination of Attorney General Elkin for Governor at the coming Republican state |. convention that he is: their personal friend and favorite. He has done nothing they disapprove. They are only against, him out of fear oe Boras wrath: He has there is no further safety in using’him. No sympathy need be wasted on Elkin. That talented young man bas prostituted his talents to base uses. He has made for himself the bed he will have to lie in. The people of Pennsylvania,however, will have gained nothing by Elkin’s downfall if it shall result simply in the turning out of one Quay administration at Harrisburg to turn in another. The Stone experiment ought to be the last experiment of its kind. Rank and rotten from first to last; the Stone ndministration has been only a candid expression of the rankness and rottenness of the organization that now seeks to retain control of the state government by rallying Republican voters behind a new figure- head. It will be to the last degree discreditable to the Democrats of Pennsylvania and the Independent Republicans who have the manhood to be ashamed of the atrocious misgovernment in the State if they shall not, putting aside all lesser differences, unite to defeat whatever man Senator Quay may name as his candidate for Governor and whatever Quay servitors aud under- lings shall be selected to do the bidding of the machine in the next Legislature. Quay’s Latest Game. From the Pittsburg Leader. Whichever explanation is the true one— whether Quay is in earnest about forcing Elkin to withdraw, or whether Quay and Elkin are playing a game with the purpose of leading the people to believe that Elkin is making a heroic, unbossed fight for the nomination and that if he wins, the nomi- pation will come to him on his merits, it is equally plain that the people cut no figure in the calculations of the machine leaders. Either Quay is carrying bossism to an ex- traordinary length by declaring long in advance of the State convention who shall or shall not be nominated for Governor, or be is the prime mover in a game of blaff which is even more obnoxious than ancon- cealed dictatorship. The people of Pennsyl- vania are becoming very weary of being bossed and much more weary of being played with and befooled. Galvin’s lmpudence. Ty From the Harrisburg Star-Independent. The most impudent politician iu the his- tory of the world is William J. Galvin, of Shenandoah, Schuylkill county. Elected to the last Legislature as a Democrat his first official act was to vote for the Repub- lican candidate for speaker of the House, and subsequently he voted for Quay for Senator, and every job presented by the Quay machine. Still he is a candidate for the Democratic renomination. If Judas bad claimed to be the closest friend of the Savior after the treacherous betrayal for a bribe there would have been a precedent for Galvin’s gall, but Judas had the de- cency to commit suicide. An Explanation is Certainly Needed. From the Altoona Times. Was the policy of Pension Commissioner Evans right ? If it were, why was he allow- ed to resign ? If it were not right, why was he given another governmental posi- tion ? The answers must be interesting. ——— Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. the base ‘purposes of ie! pause; bie a reign of terror.
