Hemp for Aguinaldo.
The nuthniltlea at Washington and
.Manila are evidently competent to at
tend to ARUiunldo and his "army," but
If thu public were asked to give advice
It would HUBBest that hefoie the pres
ent Insunectlon Is consldciod at an end
tho personal minendor of Aguinaldo he
demanded, to be followed by his public
execution. This is neeen-ury both ns an
object leon to acltators of his class
and as nn act of Justice. ARulnnldo is
pcrsbonully responsible for the slaughter
of his dupes precipitated by the leccnt
attack on the Ametlcan foice-b; ho is
clearly a knave of the worst tpe and
so loin; as he lcnialns alive he will he
a menace to the peace of the Philip
pines. There Is nothing intentionally blood
thirsty In the proposition here ad
vanced. No American feels anything
hut pity for thu ignoiant Ictlius of this
rash attack. I2cn Aguinaldo hlmtelf
Is poilmps a vlitlm of heredity, bad eu
vlioninent and too much puisperlty.
Hut if his execution would Impress up
on tho sullen natives, "half devil and
half child," that Ameilcan authoilty
will not tolerate treachery It might be
the most economical nnd humane step
that could be taken In pursuance of
uiir polio uf mconstiuetlon in Luzon.

An Inconclusive Verdict.
If thu lepuit of the commission ap
pointed by thu president to Investigate
the conduct ot thu war has been coi
fpctly t'uminarbed by the Associated
1'rtcs, Its 1'ndlng" will disappoint
public confidence. It Is doubtful If they
could have been eonUuMvc In any
I'Vunt, in view of the fact that the tes
timony on which they were based was
vuluntiiiy thioughout. The commission,
to be sine, was tho only means which
the president had at hlb command, lour
months ngo, to willsfj th" popular de
mand for an Inquiry Into war methods,
yet It has nroved to be, as was at the
time genetnlly toitseen. a weak mean".
rortunately it opens the door to a
140 an I no settl iuent of the points at
I?sup. The 'Uiletuies pabsed on Al.ljoi

Nerve.
Tho ptlnclples laid down by tho M-itu
department at Washington In Its re
titsal to pay an indemnity to ustila
un aceotii'.t of the citizens of that
ountry killed In the Lattimer riot
lliould bo committed to memory by
i very foreigner lesldlng In t!u?e United
States. We reoi-at from Solicitor Pen
fleld'h oriluton:
"No govouiment Insures the absoluto
ittoiity of all foreigners who may hap
jor. to he within Its terrltoiv. Aliens,
B well as nationals, are hound to re
ipect thu law. the Institutions and tho
constituted nuthoiltics of tho st.if

tnke part In nn Insurrection or In a

This la tho law, and tho common
iense ns well. Hut apait from the le
,'al vluw of tho case, It Is presumptu
ous In forolrnors, residing by Btaeo In

Tho Shipping Bill.
Next to tho Nlcningua canal bill
tho most Important bill remaining un
decided In congress Is the bill to to
store tho American merchant mnrlne
by means of ocean subsidies and boun
ty grants, l'orhara In relative import
ance this hill should ho placed flist:
It certainly t-hould if It will do what
is expected of Itv Yet violent opposi
tion Is said to be arising to It In Dem
oct.itii quarters, based, ns usual, m
mlsrepiesentntlons of fact.
One argument offered upalrct It Is
embodied in the statement that In
twenty yea is It would cost the country
$400 000,000. The advocates of the bill
cltifin this estimate Is too large by r0
per cent., hut whether the coit he
much or little. It could come only
through lncieised shipping under the
nicrknn ling. As 11. J. Gibson, chief
Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Picss, points out, thre
miii-t be tho piospect of a commeicla!
success sulllclent to Induce n vessel to
enter Into trade hefoie nny oyago
could he made except nt a loss If a
vfsel relied chlelly upon tho encour
agement of the government. Vessels
In ballast would not be entitled to nny
compensation under tho act. To secure
thu benefits of the act vessels must be
actually engaged In promoting the for
eign trade of the United States, either
by cargo or passengers or both, for
oveiy mile navigated for which It re
ceives compensation.
Under the bill, as Mr. Gibson ex
plains, when the payments reach tho
sum of $5,730,000 the tonnage In the for
eign tiade will bo cnpable of earning
nnd undoubtedly will earn $10,000,000 a
year in fi eights and fares. In ensh
terms the business will pay tne United
States 100 per cent, on tho Investment.
No foreign vessel can engage in the
trade under the American llatj without
llrst providing for the consti notion of
another vessel In Ameilcan yaids with
a contract to navigate it under tho j
American flag. Tho officers of all ves-
sels receiving pay will havo to bo
Americans and a large percentage of
thp crew of every ve-el mu&t be of
American citizens. No compensation
will bo paid except where foreign com
petition Is keenly felt. Vessd3 en
gaged in the coasting trade or In the
tiade In the great lakes aie excluded
under tho bill. Tho same vessel can
not receive pay for more thun sixteen
lound voynres In one year. The special
speed rates of compensation for largo
and fast steamships arc to be paid
only to vessels suitable fot carrying
the mails of tho United States or as
auxiliary navrl vessels. All ve?-els
that avail themselves of the benefit'
of tho proposed net will bo compelled
to cn-ry tho United Stntc-s mails free
ot chnige.
An to tho alleged large annual ex
pense the bill v.ill Incut, Mr. Gibson
shows that based on the vesreU en
gaged in the tiade In 1S97, Including
sailing vessels and fishing bounties, the
tntnl r tipiiillturi TA'niiM lip nriK .OHl-
... ., , ,, , .
(157 a ear. For every dollar of incicaso
in that amount ot payment in each
year In futura thcie must bo an ln
eiease In tonnage" and In actual opera
tion, which would bilrg In receipts and
fares about 400 per cent. Increise. The
very highest amount In any one ear
that can be paid under the bill or that
Is ever likely to bo paid during the
twenty year tint It will continue In'1
exl-tence will bo $10,000,000. Hut if the
government paid that much under tho
bill, there would bo tonnage in opera
tion sufllclent to eatn $S0,000,0C0 In
fi eights and fares. 'Thus In any event
it would bo a paying Investment.
The Ticnsuiy Uurer.ti of Navigation
estimates that the United States pay
now $175,000,000 in ocean froiglus and
lor passage money. It Is estimated
that $t7.000.0)u ot that Is paid to Ameri
can vessels In the foielgn trade. It
thu time should ever conio when $10,
000,000 Is pah' out under the pending
shlpi ing hill by tho government, Amor
It nn vessels in the foielgn trade would,
Mr. Gibson points out, receive $03 000,
0U0 moro aninrilly In freights and f ups
than they now receive. Fuielgn ships
with which American rrscis compete
now annually receive fioin their le
spectlvc govunments in subsidies nnd
bounties $25,010,000. Against ships thu
aided, unaided Ameilcan ships cannot
compete, henco tho steady decline In
our tonnago In tho foreign trade. A
bill that will produce 100 per cent, ru
turn for overy dollar Invested under
Its provisions ought, In Mi. Gibson's
opinion, not to meet with any opposi
tion whatever.
The enactment of tho shipping bill 13
strongly demnnded by nublln .senti
ment. It is difficult to hellovo tho news
paper reports which assert thnt Speaker
need lb ushiL- his olllclal Influence to
obstruct tha pnbsnBo of tho Xleaiagua
canal bill. Speaker Heed Is too good a
Itcpubllcnn to foiget his partv's lunt
national platfoun.

The war Investigation commission
calls It uu "emirgenoy ration" and

The naval committee ot the house has
decided to report a hill authorizing the
consti uctlon of twelvo of tho If teen
new warships recommended by Secre
tnryLong. It will allow three monster
battle Bhlpp, three heavily nrmored fast
cruisers superior to anything of their
kind allont and six ordinary crulscro
but It will disallow tho three protected
cruisers usked for. As things go this
Is exceptionally liberal, but are threo
aimnred crutscts enough?
Tiof. O. Clc Iceland declines to ex
press an opinion of the battle of Manila
or the ratification of tho Paris peace
treaty. It is probable that Prof. Cleve
land Is beginning to realise what has
been appaient for sumo time past, that
on the war question he appeals to best
advantage In a thinking part.

WRECKS.
From the New York Sun.
There nre two men In tho United States
senate who nre no longer of nny uso
there. Their utility Is gone and cannot bo
renewed. When Ihey speak It will bo tho
trifling voice ot n cantankerous fanati
cism and nothing more. When they ialo
their hands beforo the eyes of their col
leagues thev will be ns thoagh they wcro
fresb dlppi d In the American blood shed
at Manila. No one respects them nnd no
one will ever again believe that cither of
them can bo trusted In public affairs.
This Is true of them In resnect to their
own states as well ns In the country at
large.
Senator Hoar has closed n long nnd
honorable career by putting Into full
practlco nil tho methods of degraded
politics against which his whole life hail
been n continuous protest. Having
leached the fulness of man's allottcj
time In tho useful and ci editable dis
charge of his public duties and In clean
and reputable association with the first
men In the nation, he has put all his
teachings behind him nnd has gone else
where. No other man In our public 'Ifo
has mndo such sacrifices to ruin him
self and undo his own career as Sena
tor Hoar. Senntor Hale Is the other sen
ator of conspicuous and permanent dis
ability, but It has not been so great n
sacrifice on his part. Ho did not have
so far to step as the Massachusetts sena
tor and he docs rot suffer the s-ime moral
discomfort In his new associations.
o
Nothing would more become thee two
senatois than the contrite recognition of
the evil thev have attempted and failed
in that would bo Imnlled In tho resigna
tion of their seats. Were they to return
whence they came and seek by honest
nnd steidfnst labor !n the ranks to alone
for their treachery to their country nnd
their felony toward their party thev
might be forgiven, nnd. as men's minds
run nowndas, forgotten. Today thov
lag superfluous and offensive where they
stand.

' 1 have used Ripans Tabulcs and they have done mc Jots of
good, at least my wife says they have." asserts William Donaldson
a blacksmith. "After a hard das work 1 would eat too much, i'
guess," continued he, "and suffer like everything My wife's brother
told me that Ripans Tabules had helped him and lie thought they
would help me. 1 believe they have cured me, but I still take them
regular, for I would not have them pains again for anything. My
partner said, after I was so much better, that I was ready to get well
anyhow, and that I would have got well without them. I believe
there are lots of people that are ready to get well just like I was,
They will get well when they take the same medicine I did, and not
before. I have worked hard all my life, fir-t on a farm and then in a
blacksmith shop, and have been troubled with dyspepsia ever since 1
was 18 years old. Now I feel like I was sweet sixteen, I think
Ripans Tabules are a great medicine."
