Kept on this basis, their move ment v,'M do great good. A Month of Unrest. M"s AY IS USUALLY the month of labor's discontent, and the present month of Stay sees more of It than usual simply because times are Improving; Invested capital, after the years of de pression during which It was fortunate If it earned enough to pay deprecia tion and taxes. Is beginning to declare prosperous dividends, and labor wants Its share of the bettered conditions, frequently differing from, capital as to what that share is. The last period of stilkes in any larga number was In 1892, when, as now, the country was exceptionally prosperous. Homestead, It has been said, defeated Hairifcon and thus brought on the four trying years of Q rover Cleveland and the Wilson low tariff bill which few workingmen will soon forget. We do not anticipate a recurrenccof the politi cal experience of eight years ago, al though It Iras been charged, that Demo cratic politicians have been calculat ing upon the possibility of another Homestead this year; but there Is need to lellert that If strikes never occur except when times are prosperous there Is such a thing as striking too much and too often. Labor should be cateful not to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Wheie men arc underpaid for what they do and cannot get fair treatment by peaceful and conciliatory means; especially In Instances where there Is good reason to believe that the em ployer as a business proposition can well afford to raise the wages of his employes, the question of striking be comes a seiious one and when, In such circumstances, a strike is declared, public opinion of the substantial sort invariably sympathizes with its pur pose. But the practice of striking on slight provocation or of threatening to strike becau&e others In another in dustry have struck or are going to strike In the long run does harm to everybody affected by It; it is the canker worm which cats the root of business prosperity. This practice Is labor's greatest peril. Most employers, If for no other rea son than the selfish one of personal convenience and business tranquility, are amenable to reasonable argument. They want a strlko as little as labor does. As a rule, however, they can endute a long strike better than labor can. Hence patience and common sense are better safeguards for labor than bluster and violence. In the end the good workman usually commands his price. This 13 especially true when times aie good, Industry Is active and there Is an appreciative market for his skill. The New York papers have just printed the contents of an alleged long lost letter from King Agrlppa. to Christ, which has been mislaid for 1803 years. Yellow Journalism's next feat will be awaited with Increased interest. The Philippines. 1SHOP POTTER says he has not changed his original opinion as to the undeslra- blllty of acquiring territory like the Philippines. "If my son came to me and said he wished to mairy a Creole I should," ho says, "feel at liberty to call hlm'V'tn ass. On tho jther hand, It he came to me after navlng married one I thould try to nake the best of tho situation. "Some such relation wo now have rvlth tho Philippines. Whether we like tt or not, we must count It a national Mortification If we should give up our esponslbllltles because we found them llfllcult. We certainly have not the training of a great colonial empire, .ut what has been done in the United States of America since the adoption of the constitution is only what Great Britain has done In wider fields. I have no doubt we shall blunder, try and blunder again. I believe, however, that it Is our duty to show ourselves willing to widen the influence of the great moral Ideas for which I believe our great republic stands." 'This view will be accepted by the common sense of the people. Not what might have been but what Is Is the question before the house. In this connection a statement Issued at Manila on Wednesday by General Otis may be cited. Oeneral Otis was asked the question: "Do you think tho Flll plto' Insurrection could have been J3S avoided by any chango In our attitude early In 18987" To this ho replied: "No, It was Inevitable from the start. "When Agulnaldo left Hong Kong and came to Cavlte It was with the Inten tion of fighting the Amei leans. Inde pendence wuh the Junta's scheme even then. Hcently we have come Into possession of proof that when Aguln aldo went to Hong Kong from Singa pore the whole subject was discussed at a big meeting of the Junta. They planned that Agulnatdo should come to Manila with American asMstnnee, make a show of co-operation until the Spaniards were expelled, and then drive the Americans out. Agulnnldo was unwilling to pursue such n course because It would bo dishonorable. !-un-dlco, who was minister of the Intetlor In Mnblnl's cabinet, made a" speech which carried the meeting. He de dal ed that Everything would bo fair cofslderlng the object that was to be achieved. Agulualdo yielded, and his entlte subseiiuent coutse In the Philip pines has been In complete. consonance with the fcchenic. The Junta wns then prepared and Instructions wete given, and subsequently, in the middle of Jan uary, 1M0, they wuined their fi lends In Mnnlla to leave, saying that the time was near at l.an 1. AVe have many documents In Agulnaldo's hand writing, Including his plans for a ris ing In Manila last October, when he detailed the methods to be employed In assassinating the Ame"!cans." The American people can rest ns siiimI that what their government has done In leferenco to the Philippines has been done upon the basis of thor ough information and was the one thine vhL'li could be done under the circumstances. Pennsylvania will not be entirely without honor In the coming campaign. The Hock Island Christian party has nominated I lev. Dr. Swallow, of Har rlsbutg, for president. Roosevelt's Franchise Tax: A' T1CST CASH involving the constitutionality of the Hoohevelt fianchlse tax law is expected to reach the New Yolk court of appeals in its June term at Saratoga. The case atises In the matter of the Queens borough Hlectilo Light and Power company to review the assessment on that cor poration recently made by the State Board of Tax commissioners. In behulf of the company ox-JuMlee Drown and ex-Senator David I!. Hill will appear and offer argument. A similar case which came before the Supremo court of Buffalo has recently been decided in favor of the state, and theic seems to be little doubt that the court of ap peals will take the .same view. Estimates made at Albany place the first year's levenue from the franchise tax at $1,422,900, of which $,322,901) will bo raised In New York city. The law will add $193,000,000 of additional tax able property to the tax rolls, which will enable the next legislature to make a reduction in the state tax rate equivalent to about $350,000. Last year the total assessments in New York city by the state were on a valuation of $70,221,025; this year the valuations aggregate $219,C89,3;i, an (Increase of $143,46S,32G. In the Buffalo test case the point raised was that the placing of the power to make franchise valuations and assessments In the hands of a state commission instead of i emitting It to the various local assessois in the municipalities where the franchises are operative constituted a violation of the principle of home rule secured to muni cipalities by the state constitution. In overruling the point Justice Kcnellcl: admitted that the language of the new statute Is "involved, redundant and apparently conlllctlng," but he added that the intent of the legislature was plain. It Intended, he continued, lo create a new species of taxable prop erty. Having created a new species of property as the subject of taxation, it was necessary to vest its assessment either in existing ofllcers or to create new ofllcers for that purpoe. The leg islature chose the latter course and the Buffalo court holds that it had a com plete right to do so. Governor Roosevelt will probably feel the weight of the iwlltlcal displeasure of tho corporations thus taxed. It 13 believed that they have had a good deal to do with the effort to get him to accept the vice-presidential nomina tion, their hope being that his suc cessor at Albany might not bo so flim. It remains to be seen what counter balancing strength will come to him from the people in whose interest he has made the light for a more equit able apportionment of the burdens of taxation. The chances are (that he will not lack friends at tho ih11s. By fixing the price of armor plate at $413 a ton and providing that If the manufacturers don't accept that price the government may spend $2,000,000 on an armor plute factory of its own, the senate has probably got us close to the lino of fairness in this matter as It Is possible to get under existing conditions. Let this action bo accept ed and the controversy ended. The steamship Ponce came Into port at New Yoik Wednesday from Porto Itlco with tho largest curgo of sugar unci tobacco yet received from that isl and, and shipping men say thero Is to bo a rush of Imports now that Porto Illco's status has been determined, In Porto Rico's caso It Is evident that the calamity howler has howled too soon Governor Itoosevelt has signed the document that muKes tho antl-tradlnq; stamp measuie a law In New York.

They hive missions among the Micks, nad they havo some most excellent peo ple who aie giving their time and money to this gieat work, although there is a large conserva tive sentiment even in that settron against them in their own ehurth.

As a lrsult, theie are many thousands of nativrs under English rule who are not only Intelligent and educated, but who have property, and tin natives very largely support their own schools and preachers and churches. :o: Could there be a more positive eontiasl than the above laws and administration indicate! Add to all this the brutality, ese-iially of Trans vaal olHciaH toward natives. One of the many lntatues is the tieatment which (leneral Cronje recently gave to a native chief Mines, and her people. On a letter written by one of his own men, which he read to her, without giving her any opportunity of reply or rebuttal, he find her nearly 7U; and gathering together thirteen of her advlstrs, flogged them, giving to cadi twentv-siv: lat-hes, and when each one refused to ay "thank you," another lash was added. They had done nothing wrong themselves, but he claimed ought to have advised her better. The case was taken to the courts and the Judge de rided that the fine should be returned, which has never been clone. And (ieneial Cronje be came the chief native commissioner, and the two men who conducted the flogging were made spe cial envovs to study flic conditions of the natives in that section.

Barker says in an interview: "I am firmly convinced that Bryan will not be the Democratic nominee for president, liven should he have a majority of the delegates on the first ballot, I am satisfied that he will nev.'r receive the Wo-third majority which the Dem ocratic Convention requires to nominate." and under that rule the Hoers l.ave advanced in Intelligence and wealth, There have been manv Intermarriages, and If it had not been foi the organized conspiracy at Pietoila, determined to cheek the advance Irrespectivo of race or lan guage, the Drllon and the lloer would have had no war and tegether they weultr have risen and prospered in all respects. We have only to read a list of the laws now In fuicc in the Transvaal, ai affecting the OutlUidtrs, to understand how Irrepressible the conflict las been ard that sooner or later theie must be a change in these laws or revolution In some form. :o: Take the law of franchise, or rather unfran chise. An Outlaneler must be 40 years of age; he must own property, a majoiity of the burghers In Ms diFtrlct must cipress In writing their tie sire that he be made a burgher; he must not. bo objected to by the slate t-corclaty or the presi dent; and us a ilium unparalleled in li.nizcd government, his son born ir the Transvral takes the political status of his father. These lawi disfranchise for nil time everybrdy In the Trans vaal except the 21,00! voters chimed by the burghers and their descendants. It Is to be remembered also that the burghers coumenec voting at 10, so that a very large percentage of the voters xvho control that country arc boys utterly Incompetent in Intelligence or experience to form a Ji'dgimnt on great Issues. And it must lie remembered that nlnc-tinlh of all the Boer xoters in the -Tiansvaal are men of not only limited intelligence as to civil government, but are dominated by nanow prejudiced viwvs It is the 210,000 Outlandcrs, the treat majority of whom have gone to that healthful climate t3 a (.rmaucnt home, whose rights mo outraged. It will retjuire from thirty to fifty yeais to dig nut the gold in the in, mediate vicinity of Joliannes bmg, anil with a just government there will be at least 300,000 citizens in that section alone in a few years, to say nothing of other great cen ters of wealth which will lie opihed up. And to seek to justify the absolute disfranchisement of tliis great mass of enterprising and lntelllgel t people fioni having any vtite In the tlvll gov ernment of the country Is monumental absurdi'j. The Transvaal sealed its doom as a permanent government In its present firm in August, 1S'3, when it threw as'de, by a vote of IS to 6 In the uppn llaad, a petition containing over ;3,000 names .u know lodged to be genuiuue, asking for some slight modification of the franchise. The chbate on that petition makes an exhibition of Ignorance as fo the first pilnciplcs of ilvil justiie and of nanowiiess of vision (hit Is appalling. Two or throe men stood up manfully, but led by President Kruger the petition was thrown out.
