' Comment On Political and Othar
Mattera of Publlo Intareat.
(ANDREW J. PALM.)
Th result of tho recent election in
Chicago shows what the people think
at municipal ownership a.nd what they
will decide It they but get the oppor
tunity of expressing their wishes. The
votera of the Queen City were asked
to express their opinion as to whether
the city oiiRht to own the street rail
roads, gns, water and electric light
ptantwlthln the city limits. The re
sult was that six times as many voted
ia favor of such ownership as against
tt. Any different result would not have
ben expected from a sensible lot of
voters, unless a still larger majority
might have been looked for. The
people who will vote to give their own
valuable franchises into the control of
grasping individuals are stupid, or cor
rupt, or both.
Quay was anxious to have the pleas
ure of owning a governor, and used
this aa a reason why he wanted Stone
four years ago. The Old Man's owner
ship wus absolute for a time, but it is
evident that Stone has grown weary of
playing political dog and refuses long
er to obey hla master's call. Elkln isn't
Quay's choice, for he well knows that
Slkin owes allegiance to other bosses
whom he would serve. The truth is
that Quay has reached that point in
Ms political career when he can no
longer dictate to the other big bosses
In his party. His political power is on
the wane, and much as he may dislike i
the fact nnd try to conceal it, be will
be obliged hereafter to fall in and go
along, or suffer defeat at the hand of
younger and more vigorous men who
have graduated in his political school.
Quay has but little choice in the mat
ter, for it becomes more clear day by
day that Elkin will be nominated
whether the Old Man wants him or not.
It Is high time that the honest Demo
crats of the state should see to it that
no more Democratic traitors be sent to
the legislature to disgrace themselves
and their party. The treachery of a
tew men, elected as Democrats, to the
last two sessions of the legislature de
served death as much as treachery in
the army ever deserved it, but since
physical death cannot be visited upon
them, either legally or morally, let
their political death be sure and swift
and so certain that it will place them
beyond hope of resurrection. For de
cency's sake, and for the sake of hon
est government let every honest Demo
crat take a solemn vow that he will do
hla utmost to keep all such men from
being nominated to represent his par
ty. Better far elect a machine Repub
lican than a Democrat tainted with
Quaylsm. There are certainly enough
Democrats of influence, character and
self respect In every county of the state
to prevent the disgrace of sending Quay
Democrats to the next legislature, no
matter whether they want to do their
dirty work In the house or the senate.
Every man who has attempted to de
fend our brutal and treacherous deal
ings with the Filipinos has contradict
ed himself as well as the truth when
trying to explain the situation so as to
make our course harmonize with what
ought to be expected of a civilized na
tion. In his testimony before the sen
ate committee General Otis declared
that he believed Aguinaldo to be strict
ly honest in money matters, but having
few equals in dupllelty. Aguinaldo
must differ very widely from all his
American brethren, for if there is any
one thing which will bring out their
duplicity it is money matters. More
lies are told, more deception practiced
and more downright deviltry of all
kinds perpetrated because men are not
like Aguinaldo, strictly honest in mon
ey matters, than from any other cause.
Otis, like all the others who have been
called to Justify our outrageous con
duct in the Philippines, dislikes to lie,
but dislikes still worse to tell the un
pleasant truth which convicts us of
treachery and rankest hypocrisy in our
dealings with the Filipinos. Our whole
conduct toward them from start to
Bnlsh has been simply outrageous and
Otis knows it
Mr. Fllnn, the gentleman from Pitts
burg, announced some time ago that
tie has retired from politics, and, act
ing on the theory that repetition en
forces truth, he repeats the assertion
at regular intervals, that no one may
make a mistake and think he is still
loing political stunts. It is almost
certain that any political cause would
suffer In the public estimation if it
were suspected that it had Mr. Fllnn's
sympathy. It is a question whether
politics didn't really shrink from Mr.
Flinn before he decided to perform the
retiring act. It Is true that he does
aot retire very honorably, but It is
equally true that it would be impossi
ble for him to remain in politics with
honor to himself or credit to any party
with which he might ally himself. The
reason why Flinn was a political fail
ure is that he devoted his whole ener
gies to furthering his personal inter
vwts. In other words, be was in poli
tics for what there was in it. Had ho
rtood np and done battle for the pub
lic Interests and the cause of good
government, he would today be an hon
ored leader, and could do much toward
overthrowing those who are still lead
ers, but who are dishonored because
they, too, have no thought above per
sonal gain. Fllnn never had a politi
cal friend that he would not betray,
when betrayal would advance his
elfish Interests; he never had a po
litical principle that he would not cast
to the wlnda if he could profit per
sonally by so doing. May bis kind
grow smaller and smaller, until Dur
ham, Stone, Elkin, Quay and the whole
corrupt crowd hag passed Into pollti
cai oblivion.

In the condemnation of free sliver at
the present time forget that the Re
publican state platform of 1892 com
mended the silver purchase act aa a
"long yet prudent step toward the free
coinage of silver." What was meant
by that If it did not mean that the
Republicans of Indiana were in favor
of free silver? Michigan City (Ind.)
Dispatch.
The charge that Senator McLaurln
was bribed to vote for the ratification
of the treaty of Paris, and the counter
charge that Senator Tillman in making
It has slandered hla colleague, stand
undisposed of by the senate. Both are
of the highest importance and dwarf
Into comparative Insignificance the
matter of fisticuffs, gross and unseem
ly as that was, to which the senate has
addressed Itself. Washington Star.
The logic of the Imperialistic or
gans is something wonderful to be
hold. They tell us that the natives of
the Philippines are savages, barbarians,
heathens and blood thirsty head-hunters,
and in the same breath boast that
we are violating the articles of civiliz
ed warfare by enlisting the aid of
these same barbarians. The logic of
the imperialistic organs may be de
pended upon to answer Itself. Com
moner. At any rate It might be well to' ar
range a few large Boer demonstrations
on coronation day so that the true
sentiment of the people may be made
known to offset the demoralizing in
fluence of the president's act. When
the real feeling of the people is ex
pressed the president may regret the
concession he has made to the mon
archial and aristocratic ideas which
have developed with the progress of
Imperialism. Muncy (Pa.) Democrat.
The United States senate is the busi
est body of men one most ever heard
of. From the days of the great San
hedrim to this good hour no set of
legislators ever had so much to do.
And what are they doing? They are
sweating over subsidy schemes and
canal projects and high tariffs and im
perialism and the reception of princes
and the subjugation of far-off islanders
and a whole lot of other things which
will result in no good to the toiling
and struggling masses whom they mis
represent. Lexington (N. C.) Dis
patch.
It is neither fair nor Just that the
enormous newspaper interests of the
country Interests in which the gen
eral public is deeply concerned, to say
nothing of the hundreds of thousands
employed by the newspapers should
be bled for the benefit of the wood
pulp trust. Among the lattest utter
ances of President McKlniey was one
in favor "of remitting those taxes
which experience has shown to be most
burdensome to the industries of the
people." And to nothing more burden
some than the tariff duty on wood-pulp
could his words be applied. Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune (Rep.).
The sentiment In favor of tariff re
vision is gaining In spite of the hercu
lean efforts of a few party leaders in
the Republican camp to keep It in the
background. The pernicious system of
protecting the giant monopolies with
their accumulated millions, is so gross
ly wrong that a revolution must short
ly set in that will demand a revision
of the whole protective system. The
principle of the protective system is
grossly misrepresented under our pres
ent tariff laws, and instead of affording
protection to our Industries, permits
and encourages a "community of In
terests" for the restraint of legitimate
trade. St. Mary's (W. Va.) Oracle.
The testimony given by soldiers at
the trial of Major Waller, on the
charge of killing natives of Samar
without trial should be interesting to
Secretary Root, who declares officially
that it is not true that there has been
"marked severity" in the conduct of
warfare by the American troops. The
execution of 12 unarmed natives with
out trial may strike the secretary as
an instance of "marked humanity and
magnanimity," but some persons are
likely to regard the evidence in the
Waller case as Justification of General
Miles' very moderate condemnation of
military methods employed to asslmi
lato the Filipinos. North American,
Philadelphia.
Senator Hoar, In a recent speech in
the senate, referred to the fact that an
order had been Issued by the Philip
pine commission prohibiting the read
ing of the Declaration of Independence
in the Philippine islands. The sena
tor further pointed out that by the
law promulgated by that commission
it was a penitentiary offense to read
the Declaration of Independence. The
declaration is said to be barred from
the Philippines on the ground that it
la an incendiary document Is this
not a curious charge to make against
that document? It sets forth certain
self-evident truths and discusses the
inalienable rights of man. Are we as
a nation in a position to punUb peo
ple for believing in that declaration or
In reading It aloud to others? Impar
lallsm has certainly brought us into
a strange situation, and one Is forcibly
remindod of the time when a christian
monarch felt It necessary to suppress
a publication which contained extracts
from the Bible condemning monarchy.
If we are going to have Imperialism we
k will And It embarrassing to preach frea
government here while we practice lm
perlallsm elsewhere. Commoner.
