The cnlllnrj of the annual convention
of the state league of Republican clubs
for Erie on Sept. 17 and IS Is coupled
with the announcement that Judce

The Strike.
r HE BEGINNING of the thlr-
teenth week of the strike
JL finds tho lines of conflict no
ticeably tightened. They are
growing so tiKht that the conclusion is
inevitable that something must soon
give way. The developments of the
past week have, for almost the first
time, been noticeably advantageous to
the operators. Heretofore they have
fought on tho defensive solely; last
week saw the Inauguration of a policy
of more aggressive action. It cannot
now be said that the mines arc com
pletely tied up. Tho amount of pro
duction Is not large, but the fact of It
nnd of Its shipment is beyond contro
versy. The problem of relief distribution has
Introduced dissension in many quar
ters, so much so that tho national and
district ofllccrs of tho miners' organiza
tion have been impelled to take the
stump In a campaign of explanation
and revival. Tho meeting In this city
was a success In numbers and enthus
iasm, and it has undoubtedly stiffened
some wavering backs; how many and
for how long cannot be told until the
chapter is at an end. As an offset, tho
development In tho Schuylkill district
of a tendency toward riot, necessitat
ing the calling out of tho National
Guard, has shown that where men
choose to work Instead of strike their
liberty will bo protected.
Roth at New York and among the
Ktrlko leaders the opinion is expressed
that tho strike will continue for some
time further.1 The New York view is
that It will not bo possible to operate
mines on a largo scale before Sept. 1.
The strike leaders say tho strike will
bo won by them ere Oct. 1. It would
bo futile to enter Into competition with
these export prophets. Tho most that
may be hasurded In way of prophecy Is
that the strike Is probably twelve
weeks nearer a flnl3h than It was
twelve weeks ago.
Judge Goff, of tho United States
oourt for the circuit including West
Virginia, before whom Judge Jnclc
f.on'3 recently-issued blanket Injunc
tion order will tomorrow come for re
view, is one of tho .ablest and fairest
minded men among tho federal judi
ciary. It' can bo taken for granted In
Advance that he will decide fcnrlessly
lis tho law nnd equity of tho case shall
appear to him. While the matter Is
ponding before him, tho public can well
afford to maintain silence.
; Tho Civilized Plan.
-TpHE.,COMMUNITy is. to bo
I congratulated upon tho suc
J eessful composition of a
'. board of arbitration In con
nection with tho street railway differ
ences'. In personnel tho board com
mands respire!,, being fairly and ably
representative of tho interests at Issue,
including the high public Interest which
wants justice done and the public tran
quility preserved,
If there wero no moral merit In such
n peaceful reference of controverted
points to the decision of a representa
tive; tribunal, there would remain tho
infinite economy as compared with the
expenses of a settlement by force,
Usually tho strike ends, after weeks or
months of loss, turmoil und suffering,
not far from where a settlement could
havp'been reached by arbitration In the
first' place. In the few Instances In
ivhlyh superior force compels a verdict
notjlft accord with equity, it Is only a
question of time until the right Is vindi
cated. -
Pride is tho great barrier to 'a larger
acceptance of the principle and prac
tice of arbitration, stiff-necked lepd
ers.of capital und labor, but more often
capital than labor, mistakenly assume
that to arbitrate Is to display weak
ness, under pressure. Not more co than
to submit a pape in court. If arbitral
tribunals are constituted as carefully
?s Jnjhe. piemen tjocuj Instance and ure
accepted In advance by each party In
Interest through written pledge let
abide the finding, rccourEC lo them In
preference to calling down upon soci
ety tho hnvon of Industrial war la the
most substantial evidence of advancing
civilization.
It has been said that labor unions
respect arbitration awards only when
In their favor; but this Is not always
true, A notable Instance to the con
trary Is supplied in Scotland, where
70,000 miners havo ncceptcd tho decreo
of the conciliation board reducing their
wages G'i per cent.
Reciprocity.
THK DEMOCRATS aro propar-,
Ing to make a great ado
about tho tariff, nnd arc not
ing with glee that there are
differences of opinion among Republi
cans concerning this subject. Where
wo think our Democratic friends will
fall down Is in their expectation that
these differences will have sufficient
force to bring about yitopubllcun dis
ruption. Tho Impression has gone forth In
Washington correspondence ,that the
whole policy of reciprocity, so ItnpreS-.
slvoly argued by William McKlnlcy in
his last public address, nnd which was
to have received his most earnest and
systematic advocacy had his life been
spared, has been kicked into the junk
pile by Republican Influences In tho
senate. Tho Idea has obtained that,
further than as something convenient
to talk about, reciprocity Is eternally
dead. This does not sjjem to be well
founded. One of the most Intelligent
members of the senate Is Shelby M.
Cullom, of Illinois, nt present chairman
of the committee on foreign relations.
He typiilcs that average worldly
shrewdness and Independence which Is
the secret of the growth and power of
tho people of the middle west; and his
long experience at Washington and his
familiarity with the currents of political
life and action qualify him exceptional
ly to give un expert opinion on this
very subject of reciprocity. He says:
"I am not able to say that tho Cuban
reciprocity bill will pass In Its present
form, but we make some concessions
in our tariff to aid the industrial and
commercial interests of Cuba next win
ter, either by legislation or by a treaty.
We shall do It because It Is right, and
because our interests as well as our
duty demand it. I hope to see tho other
reciprocity treaties ratified also. I tried
to get them ratified at the last session,
but there was so much other business
and so much time was wasted by a few
of the Democrats In attacking our
soldier boys In tho Philippines that I
could not get a hearing, but I shall
call them up at ontee when we meet
again and hope to get them all ratified,
especially the French treaty, which is
very important to some of our Indus
tries. "We have some who will not consent
to any modification of the tariff In any
particular, not even the dotting of an
T or tho crossing of a 't,' either by
reciprocity treaties or otherwise. Our
greatest political danger as a party
conies from them and not from the
Democrats. I am as much opposed to
'tariff-tinkering,' as they term It, as
anybody, but the sentiment of the peo
ple as I judge it and It is becoming
more and more apparent to me every
day does not approve the maintenance
of high protection upon Industries that
do not need it, or tariff duties that are
unnecessarily high, because they are
always a temptation to unscrupulous
manufacturers to Incrcnsc prices and
profits. Several schedules in our tariff
can be considerably modified to the
public welfare without the slightest in
jury to any Industry or the interests of
the capital or the labor employed, and
the modification can be accomplished
without agitation, which is always so
harmful, and without disturbing busi
ness. And It should be done by the
friends and not by the enemies of Amer
ican industries. Wo should not allow a
disturbance like that which took place
In 1S9I1, after Cleveland's election, to be
repeated.
"We can make such modifications In
the tariff as are safe and advantageous
by diplomatic negotiation, instead of by
legislative revision, and at the same
time obtain Important concessions from
other nations that will promote our
foreign trade by enlarging our markets.
But If tho high protection Republicans
In the senate will not permit this, they
will sooner or later bo compelled to
submit to a general revision and much
to their regret. It they refuse to ratify
the reciprocity treaties and defeat the
reciprocity policy, I, for one, shall feel
It my duty to vote for a general re
vision and reduction of the tariff
schedules without further deluy. And
I believe that to be the prevailing senti
ment among Republicans generally
throughout the West, although It may
not bo so general In tho Now England
und other protected states. The last
time I saw President McKlnley we dis
cussed this very proposition. Ho felt
as I do, and he was opposed to general
tariff revision because of the agitation
that always attends such legislation.
He advised that we adopt the recipro
city policy, modify duties upon articles
that do not require their present pro
tection, and In making the reductions
secure advantages In foreign markets
by diplomatic negotiation."
That reciprocity by treaty Is feasible
and, If wisely adjusted, advantageous,
Mr, Cullom proves by citing the effect
o( tho reciprocity treaty with Cuba
negotiated In 1S01 by Secretary Blaine
with Spain. Thut was a fair test, be
cause Cuba then was wholly a foreign
country, was In a condition of peace and
we, on ourtelde, wero In the height of a
prosperous period duo to a protective
tariff. This treaty lusted three years
and was repealed by tho Democrats as
soon as they got control of the senate.
The year It was negotiated our exports
to Cuba amounted to ?12,224,S88; jn is3
they were $17,933,570; and In the year
following, by which time H had becoino
well established, our exports readied
the handsome total ot .'4,157,698, or
nearly double tho total In tho year of
Its negotiation. In 1S91, when it was re
pealed, the total fell to 520,125,331 and In
1805 to $12,887,861, practically where it
was when tho experiment began.
The center of power In the Republi
can party Is In tho middle west, and
IU sentiment will be tho sentiment
which will dominate the party when
differences arise. Dut no Republican Is
so hide-bound on the subject of tnrlff
retention or revision as to Invito a
Democratic Job, BUch as this country
had from '92 to '90.
In England, according lo a report of
I ho board of trade, 4 per cent, of the
union laborers aro continually out of
employment, not from cljolco but
through ncceslsty. Contrast this with
American conditions. Hero no man
need bo Idle If he wants to work, and
tho only idleness there Is on any large
scale is deliberate.
'
Futile.
UNDER tho Inst Democratic ad
ministration a majority of
the railroads of the United
States . wero not onlv non
productive, but at one time or other
actually In receivers' hands, This was
after tho Democrats had "reformed"
tho tariff.
Ucglnnlng with January, 1897, a now
era opened up for tho railroad business
In this country. During tho sixty-five
months which have Intervened there
havo been but three months in which
gross earnings did not show an in
crease running all tho way from $6,144
In February, 1897, to $17,078,041 In last
October, tho banner month of Ameri
can railroading. These gains have not
represented an Increased chnrgo for
transportation, for, on the contrary, tho
average charge per ton mile for freight
has declined and passenger fares are
at least stationary.
The gains represent tho general Im
provement In business conditions which
has come as a result of the superior ad
ministrative ability of the Republican
party, combined with the shaklnc up
of a war conducted to a remarkably
successful conclusion in an Incredibly
brief time under Republican direction
and responsibility. They constitute an
unerring barometer of tho commercial
and industrial conditions of the coun
try, and It is futile to suppose that the
people will turn against tho adminis
tration under which these things have
come to puss.
The Philippine
Problem to Dai?
Chautnuaun, N. Y Aug. 3.
PRESIDENT SCHURMAN, of Cornell
university, who headed the first
commission sent to undertake tho
government" of tho Philippines, in a
speech here, delivered yesterday, contend
ed that tho Philippine question had with
out notice by public or press passed into
a now stage which for tho present and
for some years to come will effectually
rcmovo It from American partisan poli
tics. Mr. Schurman said:
"Tho Philippine problem is no longer a
question of the conduct of the army, or
of a fow men in tho army; it Is no longer
a question ot the character of Aguinaldo;
it Is no longer a question of the jurisdic
tion of tho Philippine republic ot ISM; it
is no longer a question of the validity
nf American sovereignty over tho nrchl-
pelago or of tho wisdom of the policy of
assuming It. These all aro Issues of tho
past.
"I ventured. In a speech delivered in
Boston in the month of January, to set
forth tho views which I had formed in
regard to a permanent nnd definite policy
toward tho Christian Filipinos. They em
brace (1) pacification," (2) a grant ot civil
lights, (3) a nntivo legislative assembly
whoso members should bo elected on a
property or educational qualification, (4)
a measure of homo rule to bo progres
sively Increased according to circum
stances, nnd (3) independence when tho
Filipinos desired and wero reasonably lit
for Independence. Sinco January tho
Philippine question lias been thoroughly
discussed in congress and by tho press.
There have been many sides issues, but
over them all has gradually loomed up
tho pregnant question: Shall tho Filipino
bo governed with tho consent of tho gov
erned? Imperialists answorod No, and
they controlled tho senate; tho nntl
Imporlallsts answered Yes, and they con
trolled the house. Thanks, as I bellevo,
to tho liberal, far-lightened spirit of
President Roosevelt, who in his Arling
ton speech, explicitly contemplated tho
possibility ot ultlmato Philippine Inde
pendence, tho house, under tho able lead
ership of Mr. Cooper, prevailed over tho
senate, and tho bill providing for legis
lative assembly for the Filipinos bocamo
the law of tho land.
"If Imperialism means government
without the consent ot tho governed and
anti-imperialism tho contrary, then it
must bo assorted that in tho first conflict
of those forces over tho government of
the Philippines, tho anti-Imperialists
havo won tho day. After 1901, when tho
new Philippine legislature comes into ex
istence, no bill can bo enacted into law
in tho Philippines without tho consent of
tho governed duly given by their repre
sentative legislative assembly. Meantime
tho act of congress creatine that assem
bly secures to tho Filipinos nil tho civil
lights specified in tho bill of rights of our
own constitution except tho right to carry
arms (which Is, at present, a prudent
reservation) nnd tho right to trial by
jury (which Is foreign to tho laws nnd
legal traditions and ideas of tho Fili
pinos.) "I certnlnly am satisfied with tho action
of tho president nnd congress In regard
to Philippine affairs. Everything I asked
for the Filipinos In my Boston speech of
Jauunry last, which was severely criti
cised by Imperialists, has boon granted to
them, with tho exception ot gradually
Increasing homo rulo culminating In In
dependence when the Filipinos desired
and were fit for independence, which by
tho very terms of tho proposition shows
ItBOlf a matter not for the present, but
for tho future.
"I hnvo always attached tho gieatest
Importance to tho grant of n nntivo legis
lative assembly. That organization gives
the C.noo.OOO Christian Filipinos of Luzon
and tho Vlsnyas an Instrument for tho
expression of tho sentiments of their
nation and for tho control of their gov
ernment. Tho fact that wo have estab
lished such a kglslaturo refutes forever
tho libelous talk of those Christianized
nnd civilized Filipinos being comparablo
to Sioux nnd Apache Indians. It recog
nizes them ns n nation, like tho Cubans,
tho Venezuelans, or tho Chilians. No
such legislature has, opart from Japan,
over been granted to any Asiatic people.
Tho Imperialists who wanted us to gov
ern the Philippines as England governs
India, or Holland governs Jnva, seo In
stead tho American principle nf tho con
sent of ho governed embodied In our
first organic law for tho Philippines.
Even If tho second chamber of tho Phil
ippine legislature were entlroly Ameilcnn,
nnd I supposo It will not be no law
ran be passed, no appropriation of public
money made, without tho equal concur
rence of that legislative assembly of
elected Filipinos.
"I bellevo that President Roosevelt's
attitude toward the Philippine question
indicated In his first messoKO to con
gress and In bis Arllpgton speech, his
punishment of army ofllccrs who havo
been proved guilty of cruelty toward Fili
pinos, and his constant support of a lib.
oral nnd enlightened Phlllnplno policy In
general combined with tho patsaga by
congress of the Philippine civil govern
ment bill, will haw Hie effect of eliminat
ing the Philippines as a political issue
for at least thrco or four years. Even
thoso who favor Independence cannot
raise the question till that native legis
lative assembly has vclccd the senti
ments ot tho Filipinos on tho subject and
also demonstrated by wlso nnd prudent
Uso of tho legislative powers It enjoys
that It is fit lo recctvo a larger grant of
home rulo
"As a friend and admirer ot tho Fili
pinos, many of whom havo honored mo
with their commence, I beg them, In
tho Interests ot tho further political de
velopment of their nation, not at tho
outeot to make their legislative assembly
an organ for fruitless ngltntlon on the
subject of Independence, but rather' with
moderation nnd self-restraint so to oxur
cUo tho functions dctcgntcd to them
that tho American people will deem them
worthy of -a still larger grant of power,
Of course, tho Filipinos will have tho
right to petition congress, and I bollevo
that tho dominant forces both In tho
archipelago nnd In America nro working
for their ultlmato Independence (If they
dcslro Independence); but they can has
ten tho coming of that day not so much
by petition nnd agitation (which, of
course, aro proper enough nnd may bo
necessary) as by soberly nddresslng them
selves to tho high task of participating
on equal terms with Americans in tho
goncrul government of their archipelago.
For ono I havo always made increasing
homo rulo nnd eventual Independence
conditional upon, first, tho desires, nnu,
secondly, tho demonstrated capacities of
tho Filipinos, nnd it is my firm belief
that the American people will never con
ccdo those Ineffable blessings In tho ab
sences of these reasonable conditions.
"Wo havo planted government with tho
consent of tho governed In Asia. Tio
Philippines nro thus not a colony, but nn
Incipient sister commonwealth. Tho col
onizing nntlons of Europo pooh-pooh our
experiment. Heaven grant it may bo a
caso of liberty enlightening tho world.
Certainly tho grain of mustard seed will
grow. Certnlnly tho Filipinos will In tlmo
insist that tho princlplo of tho consent
of tho governed recelVo a broader nnd
fuller application. But I repeat that
their destiny Is now In their own hands.
Their friends in America con do nothing
but support their efforts. Tho Filipinos
may, however, tako no confidence from
tho fact that tho promlso nnd potency
of every political good is contained In
that principle of tho consent of tho gov
erned which has, gormlnally nt least,
been extended to them. Meantime, and
till after tho Inauguration of that Phil
ippine assembly In 1904, the Philippines
will disappear ns nn Issue from Ameri
can polities.
'"What I havo said of tho $0,300,000
Christian nnd civilized Filipinos of Luzon
and tho Visnyas does not apply to tho
remaining population of tho nrchlpolngo
tho 1,500,000 of Mohammedan (Moros)
nnd heathen tribes who Inhabit Minda
nao, Sulu, Basllan and Palawan. A
strong external sovereignty must be ex
ercised over theso barbarous and savago
tribes, of whom some four-score are
known and named. It is theso peoplo
who may be fairly compared with tho
North American Indians. And unless wo
turned them over to some other strong
power wo should havo to retain our sov
ereignty over them even If wo conferred
Independence upon the 6,500,000 Christian
and civilized Filipinos of Luzon, tho
Visayas, and tho coasts of Jtllndanao.. I
may add that tho circumstances that we
havo two such distinct and almost con
tradictory problems In tho Philippines
makes statements that aro perfectly con
gruous appear to tho uninitiated to bo
inconsistent nnd 'wabbling.'
"Even among tho Christian Filipinos
of Luzon and thoTlsayas thero 'aro still
administrative questions of no llttlo dif
ficulty to settle. Tho gravest is undoubt
edly the problem of the friars; but I think
its gravity has been somewhat exagger
ated. I favor indeed I wan tho first to
recommend the purchase by tho gov
ernment of their landed estates. And I
believe that purchase can now bo ef
fected on a satisfactory basis. But if tho
Vatican is unwilling to withdraw tho
friars, lot them remain. Should tho Fili
pinos resist their return to their former
parishes, that Is not a matter of any
concern to the civil authorities; with us
church and 'stato nro absolutoly sepa
rate. The friars would move about at
their own peril, Hko any other aliens,
wether popular or unpopular. Even if
tho negotiators fall to agree on terms for
tho purchase and sale of tho fiiars' lands,
tho result would bo less hurtful to tho
government than to tho religious cor
porations, who would havo lnfinlto trou
blo in collecting their rents from un
friendly tenants.
"But this is an administrative ques
tion, which may safoly bo loft to tho
ability and diplomacy of Governor Taft.
I return to my point that practically nil
fundamental Philippine questions (apart
from tho supremo question of independ
ence or statehood) havo now been set
tled. Tho Filipinos wanted religious lib
erty, personal freedom, freedom of speech
and other civil rights, a natlvo legislative
assembly and territorial homo rulo; and
these nil havo boon conceded to them by
the civil government bill recently signed
by President Roosevelt. In tho long run,
of course, tho Filipinos must bo given
cither statehood In tho American union
or independence an independence which
may bo actual nnd open like that of Cuba
or actual and veiled like that of Canada.
But till their natlvo legislative assembly
Is organized In 1901, and for a fow years
thereafter, this can scarcely bo a prac
tical issue, and for the meantime tha
Philippines will "disappear as an issue In
American politics."
