SO 1XTER T1 5TO.V.
A late dispatch front Paris stated that
there is a strong and growing olHcIs
feeling, there that France, Great Britain
and the United States should endeavor
to avert the danger of Jnpon's victory
being so great that she may 1ecome the
dominating power in the fat east It
is nultelv likely that French sympathy
being with ltnssla, there Is such a feel
ing as reported, but it will have no In
fluence either In England or the United
States, the people of both these countries
having no disposition or desire to Inter
pose any obstacle to Japnn s success.
Neither is there any apprehension In the
Engllsh-spenklng countries as to Japan
becoming the dominating power in the
far east If that country is victorious it
Is to be expected that Its Influence' In
far-eastern affairs will be much greater
than It has been, but there Is reason to
believe that It will lie exerted In an en
lightened wny and wltb a view to con
serving all the rights and Interests of
other nations in that quarter of tba
world.
If Japan bents her powerful enemy she
win certain!., be entitled to have a great
deal to say regarding affairs In the
Orient, but her twn Interests will Impel
her to say nothing that might alienate
nny country whos. friendship she de
sires. Japan Is not fighting for territory.
She did not go into the war with a view
to territorial aggrandizement, but solely
for the pdrpose of preserving what she
has and maintaining her national Integ
rity. That, there Is reason to believe, is
still her only purpose, . ,
AX UNWISE PROPOSITION.
The democratic proposition that this
government should now " promlne the
Filipinos Independence, but without tell
ing them when tbey shall be given it is
unwise because of the inevitable effect
it would have of misleading the people
of the islands and complicating the situa
tion there with respect to the success
of. the insular government and its or
derly continuance. The republican
party bus not taken a position adverse
to the granting of independence when
the Filipinos are fitted 'for it. The
efforts of the government are being most
earnestly directed to the task of pre
paring them for self-government ,But
as Secretory Taft has pointed out no
promise can be made to the Filipinos
except that we will grant them inde
pendence when tbey are fit for complete
self-government. ,
The secretary said that if now we
make a promise to them which can be
j construed as to charge this govern
ment with a breach of the promise, we
lose our power for good in the islands
and sap the foundations of our govern
ment there, and the whole hope of up
lifting the Filipino people is in the suc
cess of that government and Its plans.
"Let us suppose that by law the Issue
as to whether the people are fit for self
government Is declared to be . that one
upon which shall turn the time for In
dependence. The men of force, t)f vio
lence, and the demagogues In the (Islands
wilt go before the people and argue that
the people are now fit for self-government
No one of their own race, bow
ever friendly to our government, would
have the courage to take the. negative
In such a discussion and If independence
is not at once granted the government
would stand convicted of a breach - of
faith and its friends and supporters
among the Filipinos would be silenced.
Is not this an obviously sound and rea
sonable view? Promise the people of
the Philippines Independence and there
will bo formed a party there, organized
by thowe who are ambitious to attain
power and control, to demand that in
dependence be granted at once, with
threat of another Insurrection In case of
refusal. " 'v - !
The Filipinos are not asking for Inde
pendence. The delegation that was sent
to the United States to attend the demo
cratic national convention made no such
request The' people as a whole aro
very well satisfied with the government
they have and In which they are repre
sented, desiring only that something
more be done for improving Industrial
and commercial conditions. Peace pre
vails generally In the Islands, the work
of education Is making steady progress,
life and property are more secure than
ever before and there is no complaint
In regard to the administration of the
laws. The policy framed by William
cKlnley and faithfully pursued by his
successor is working well. Would It not
be most unwise to disturb a situation
that appears to be so entirely saIsfac
tory in Its political character? That
would be the effect of what the demo
cratic platform, approved by Judge Par
ker, proposes. It would give to the
demagogues, the malcontents nd the
men of violence In the Philippines an
opportunity to renew opposition to. the
government and perhaps undo all that
has been accomplished for the better
ment of the people,
THE VEXKZVELA. ASPHALT CASE. '
Tho Issue growing out of the seizure
by Presldeut Castro of Venezuela of the
concession made by that country to the
New York and Bermudes Asphalt com
pony, on the ground that the company
had not compiled with the terms of tho
concession, presents a rather delicate
situation. The case has received the
careful consideration of the State depart-'
ment, the president having entrusted the
matter entirely to the department offi
cers and he will not. be called upou tq
make a decision regarding the case un
less It should be the opinion of the de
partment that drastic action has become
necessary. If Castro's action is found
to be Justified of course the president
will do nothing, but if It should he shown
that the seizure of the asphalt company's
holdings Is In the nature of high handed
robbery, as the company cjalni it. k
then the Venesuelun president will (it
told that hit conduct la Intolerable and
undoubtedly a demand will be made for
reparation. 1 '
The issue is soon to be hoi"1 J"''
passed upon by the highest Judicial n ! '
bunal of Venezuela and if that court
shall sustain the seisur there will arise
the question whether the United States
should accept the decision.. Refusal to
do so might lead to grave trouble, as
Venegjeh would certainly resist vigor
ously any attempt to Interfere with the
finding of Its highest court It Is said
that the tribunal bas been packed for
the purpose of sustaining Castro, but
while this Is-by no means improbable
our government mlist assume that the
court is regularly - and properly organ
Ized. There Is possibility of a quarrel
with Venezuela over this matter, but It
Is safe to say the Washington authori
ties will make every reasonable effort
for an amicable settlement '
THE MAN WHO MAKES MILWAUKEE
TAMOUS.
For many years Milwaukee waa
reputed to be simply a suburb of Chi
cago and Its population seemed to be
content to bask in the shadow of the
Windy City. But times have changed.
A new era began to dawn on th Cream
City from the moment it made the price
less acquisition of Carroll O. Pearse,
who surpasses Barnum and Buffalo Bill
as a showman and advance agent.
There Is a well dejlned rum6r among
local politicians that the principal mis
sion of the great hypnotist to Omaha at
this time Is a political oue, and some
people have even gone so far tas to al
lege that he bas Joined hands with John
N. Baldwin to foist William F. Ourley
upon the people of this district But
the ardent admirers of the "professor"
insist that his only object In revisiting
Omaha Is to make Milwaukee famous.
In refutation of the well defined rumor
they point with pride to his address de
livered the other night at the Coliseum
before the assembled Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben.
.which. Is said to have elicited
uproarious applause.
"In Milwaukee." Prof. Pearse is re
ported to have declared, "every teacher
In the public schools who presents him
self or herself for examination Is con
fronted with a row of four glasses of
beer. The teacher that gues?i cor
rectly the brewery .from wli'' each
glass of beer Is produced Is inni. ..l 1(10.
If he or she guesses the brew of three
out of the four samples correctly, the
applicant Is marked 75, and the teacher
that Is only able to guess two out of the,
four glasses Is marked SO."
Inferentlally no teacher would receive
an appointment as principal of a public
school In Milwaukee if he or she falls
below 75 on the beer taste test, and the
superintendent must, of course, estab
lish his standing by being able to guess
correctly the brew of any stein that
may be set before him. Mr, Pearse Is
at last In his 'proper sphere. As the
medium for keeping the famed Mil
waukee before the world he stands
peerless.
One of the claims made on behalf of
the candidacy of William F. Gurley is
that he is entitled to a vindication be
cause hewas not appointed by Presl-,
dent Roosevelt to the position of United
States district attorney. In other words,
Roosevelt Is to be rebuked for refusing
to appoint Gurley to a position for which
he was disqualified by bis own record.
Why not vindicate Mr. Summers by
nominating him for congress? He is
much better qualified. x " ' '
Why should not the state fair man
agement give out the correct number of
admissions, paid and free, on the even
ing of each day, Instead pf leaving the
press to guess at the number. Such a
course Would disarm all suspicion and
could do the fair no possible Injurv.
People who Intend to go to the fair have
made up their minds to go. whether the
number passing through the turnstiles
on the first second or third day Is large
or small. m
According to our democratic local con
temporary, the people of South Omaha
are anxiously waiting for the repub
lican primaries In order that they may
vote for John N. Baldwin's candidate
for congress. According to our best ad
vices the people of South Omaha are
not distressing , themselves very much
about John N. Baldwin's candidate, but
they are anxiously awaiting the amica
ble settlement of the packing house
strike.
if will be hard to make people be
lieve that there Is no one In the nu
merous rank and file of the republican
party. In Nebraska who is competent to
discharge the duties that devolve on the
bead of a campaign bureau, except one
conspicuous corporation lobbyist, who Is
regularly in evidence at each successive
session of the legislature. What would
happen If this particular lobbyist should
get & permanent Job elsewhere? '
William ' Jennings . Bryan's latest
epistle to the Mlssourlans la "Vote the
straight state democratic ticket from top
to bottom. Vote for Parker and Davis.
I am a democrat." That message may
be applauded away down in Mlzzourah,
but . In Nebraska, where Tibbies still
lives and Parker Is viewed as a gold bug.
Bryan's epistle will be received with re
pressed cuss-words.
. . , T ' J.
The claim of the electric Hght com
pany that it will be put to much Incon
venience and large expense by the en
forcement of the rules of the city elec
trician should count for nothing as
against the duty which the municipal
authorities owe the community to safo
guard property and prot?ct Ufa.

Boston Transcript
W observe' that there Is a growing de
mind among the democratlo organs that
Judg Parker should say something people
can remember In his forthcoming letter of
acceptance. On paper demands a "trum
pet blast" but that is quit out of Judge
Parker's line. Jefferson waa a violinist,
but history makes no mention of "th calm
and Judicial temperament" manifesting
Itself in virtuosity on th trumpet.
Wornea aa Mall Carriers.
New York Trlbun.
The postmaster. of a western pity of on

thn Postofflce department at Washington
to employ women as mall carriers, declar
ing that the members of th weaker sex
would- be mora trustworthy, prompt and
faithful to duty than the men ho aro now
under hi orders- Kut In the worst stress
of winter storms the gentler halt of hu
manity could not b expected to endure
hardships as sturdily as men, can, and

many reasons, In collecting and distributing

crowded communities. .
Pl'RB FOOD CAMPAIGN.
Progress Made la Checking Adultera
tion la Pood and Drink.
Philadelphia Press.
The efforts that have been made In the
last ten years to pass a pure food bill In
congress, while unsuccessful, have had ben
eficial results In educating the people aa to
the magnitude of the evils suffered from
the general sale of Impure and adulterated
articles. Many states have passed laws
more or less effective on the subject, and
the Agricultural department was authorised
to examine Imported products and have
them excluded when Impure or Improperly
marked. .....
The prosecutions that have been under
taken in this state by the food commis
sioner show how great Is the need of such
legislation, and yet the surface has been
merely scratched. ..Only by federal legisla
tion will this e.vlt'be effectually controlled.
One state may' have a good law while the
adjoining atate has none, and even a good
law Is practically useless unless vigorously
enforced. Powerful Influences often para
lyse the hand of the state officer whose
business it is to enforce the-law. Th gov.
ernment, can only control through Inter
state commerce.' but that Is sufficient when
aided by state and city authorities..
At the last session ,of congress tho house
passed a pure food bill by a, vote of 101
Jo 68, but,.it is .doubtful,. f the bill passes
the senate, though it has been acted upon
favorably lp committee and made more
vigorous by amendments adopted. It can
not be defeated, 'by direct "vote In the
senate, but Its opponents can do as they
have often done before delay it until the
short session expires. . ,
One amendment adopted by the senate
committee gives th government th sam
authority over drugs, which figure in in
terstate commerce, as will be lodged with
It in respect to food and drinks. This ar
rays the opposition of the proprietors of
patent medicine and the great army en
gaged In selling adulterated or imitation
drugs. ' And yet there should be more care
exercised In preventing the sale of Impure
drugs than in almost anything else.
Another amendment requires rectified
whiskies to be properly labeled and would
prevent their sale as pure whiskies. This
brings out the vigorous opposition, not of
distillers, but of the eighty rectifiers and
the few hundred wholesale dealers In recti,
fled whisky; and 86 per cent of tha whisky
sold is said to be rectified that Is, made
up of alcohol mixed with other substances.
These Influences are determined to defeat
the pure food bill in the senate, and Judg.
Ing from their success In tha past and th
fact that the session will b a short one,
no wonder will, be .expressed If they' ac
complish their purpose. '
' The law relating to the Inspection of Im
ported goods was .strengthened at tha iaat
session of congress, and he Department
of Agriculture Is now establishing' labors,
torles to carry it out more effectively. Al
ready a ' great change has been accom
plished In stopping to a large extent the
Importations of mlsbranded and adulter,
ated articles of foreign make, though there
la probably room for a good deal of work
yet ,in that direction. But th agitation
has thad its effect In arousing public atten.
tlon to this great wrong, and in time th
country will probably be assured of pure
food and drinks as well as pur- medicines.

a radius of 100' miles of the Ornud Union

been planned It la estimated that more
than 1300,000,000 will be expended In a few
years.

with baggage. Colonel Charles Page Eryan,

on personal business and will not lead him
Into th political arena. He Is accompanied
by his daughter, Miss Bryan.
Costly as waa the Iroquois theater disas
ter In Chicago in human life and suffering,
a large benefit from it Is being reaped In
tha construction of new amusement houses
One of these, th Majestic, in Brooklyn, la
Soon to be opened for th first time. The
theater Is bounded by open street on two
ides and has a court and mase of fire es
capes on the third. The construction ia of
steel and the stage and auditorium are
practically two buildings. Th fir wall Is
nearly six feet thick. The asbestos curtain
is stretched on heavy gaa piping and set
into a steel slot in the arch running back
ten Inches. Tha top of the stage building
Is glass. In ease of fire the flames would
roar to the aky, burning out the stage and
scenery, but would not injure the rest of
tha house.
A New York woman named Mrs
Bchroeder has given the final proof of her
loyalty to tha city. Rather than leave it
to go west, she drank carbolic acid and
died. She .was a born and bred ! Now
Yorker, and a trip to Brooklyn for her was
like camping out. She thought of the west
aa a bleak -place like Labrador, and when
her husband said that the exigencies fit his
business demanded that she accompany
him west she became despondent. Bhe told
him that she would continue to live here
or die. The alternative was forced upen
her. Thousands o New Yorkers spend
their lelsurt hours In dreaming of that
happy day when they will have an Income
sufficiently large to enable, them to ga
away from the city, and thousands of oth
ers would gladly leave It If they could te
sure of securing employment elsewhere.

ALL ABOUT A HATPIN.
Llppincott's Magaslna,
Oh, Reginald Van Buren llvad
A very happy Hfe,
Until one day a gift he bought ,
And gave ft to hi wife.
The gift was Just a hatpin, but
The head was an odd tint,
A sort of brown enamel with
A lovely reddish glint.
Was Reggie's wife delighted? Well,
Delighted !-8he was that!
She cried, "To match this hatpin, why,
I'll have to have a hat!"
She got a hat to match the pin;
To match the hat. a veil:
And now we are but started on i . .
This very thrilling tale. . .
T match the veil she got 'soma glovest - '
To match the g'ovea a pursaj-fx .-,.A.-And
from that moment, really.
Things wont from bad to worse. ' '
i ' -'-.,"
To match the purse she got a sklrtl
To match the skirt a waist;
To match tha waist she got a cloak, "
All chosen with good taste. .
To match th hatpin, then eh bought
Innumerable thlnas.
From lingerie to things you ee.
From shoestrings to rings. , .,
To match this toilette all complete v '
The parlor was arranged;
To match the parlor, next the housa
From baaement up waa changed.
But when the transformation seen
Waa finished and complete,
The dear dame thought the dwelling plaea
Was better, than the street.
And so she found a street to match
Her dwei:inr and her rownj
And then, "Alas, alack! ' she cried.
"The street don't match th townP
Poor Reginald Van Buren stormed, ,
While Mrs. Reggie cried; i
She got hvsterlos, got quite III,
And pined away and died.
IKNVOI.
So, husbands, now take warning aQ,
Unless you'd live In strife,
Give any mortal present but
A hatpin to your wlf.
