The New York World prints this
dispatch from Danville, 111.: "Sen
ator Tillman declared today that

a- third term and that Speaker Can
.npn will be the republican nominee.
'Mr.. Bryan,' Mr. Tillman said, 'will
be the democratic nominee. He is
the greatest living democrat.' "
The Buffalo, N. Y., correspon

his paper ;as follows: "Chairman

state committee; who is planning to
goto Mount Clemens, Mich., next

Murpny, was asked his views con
cerning democratic candidates for

'Chanler is the strongest candidate
in the field. The people want him.

The Washington correspondent for
the New York World reports that
tho Roosevelt third termers are very
active and adds: "One of the most
enthusiastic third term boomers to
arrive in Washington recently- is Rep
resentative Langley, of Kentu6ky. 'I
.have long been a student o: the life
and teachings of George Washington,'
ho said to the World's correspondent
'and I am satisfied that If he wore
alive today he would rescind what
he said about any man holding, the
presidential office three terms. He
would have believed In hanging on
to such a good man forever if he had
seen Roosevelt.' "
Speaking to newspaper reporters,
Congressman Hull of- Iowa said:
"President Roosevelt will be nom
inated, forced to accept the nomina
tion and elected. This is the trend
of public sentiment in the east.
Hughes is growing in strength, and
if he could secure the New York del
egation, as he may, it would compli
cate matters, but I think Roosevelt
Is the man, and that Mr. Bryan will
be nominated by the democrats, and
the United States will see the liveli
est campaign in history."

An Associated Press dispatch from
Los Angeles, Cal., . says: ."Judge
Olin Wellborn, in the United States
district court today, fined the Atch
ison, Topeka & Santa Fo Railroad
company $330,000 for rebating. The
fine was what the court denominated
'an intermediate penalty,' the maxi
mum of which might have been as
sessed being $1,320,000 and the min
imum $66,000. The court re
viewed the case in a written opinion
of some length, in which it stated
that there were sufficient doubtful
and extenuating circumstances to
preclude the possibility of a maxi
mum sentence and yet sufficient in
tention of wrongdoing shown to make
impossible a minimum penalty. The
Santa Fe was convicted on October
11 last by a jury in the federal court
of granting rebates to the Grand
Canyon Lime and Cement company
of Arizona. It was, found guilty of
all of the sixty-six counts charged
in the indictment after but an hour's
deliberation. The rebates, which
were given on shipments of lime and
cement from Nelson, Arizona, to Los
Angeles, ranged in amounts from
thirty-five cents to $45. The company
claimed that these amounts were not
rebates on the regular freight rate,
but were in the form of damages to
goods which were allowed after such
claims had been regularly presented
and proved in each instance. The
court today did not take that view
of the case, however, and stated that
it 'was not convinced by any means
that these amounts represented bona
fide settlements qf claims.' "
A New York Associated Press re
port says: "The contest of the
European money markets to retain
their gold resources was indicated by
the simultaneous action today of
three of the large central 'banks of
Europe and a call for a meeting to
morrow of the governing board of a
fourth. The Bank of England ad
vanced its rate of discount from six
to, seven, per cent, a rate whiph Ms
not beon reached since 1873. The
Bank of France advanced its regular
discount rate from 3 per cent to
four per cent, and fixed the rate for
loans at 4 per cent. The Na
tional bank, of Belgium advanced its
rate of discount from 5y2 per cent
to six per cent, and Dr. Koch, gov
ernor of the Imperial Bank of Ger
many, called a meeting of the gov
erning board for tomorrow, which is
expected to advance the discount
rate of the bank from six 'to. -seven
per cent. These movements in
Europe are regarded as an indication
of the ability of New York to com
mand gold and the efforts of the
European banks, to protect them
selves against this demand;"
President Roosevelt has issued a
statement to the effect that he is
satisfied with the results of the re
cent election.
THE HONORABLE WAY
Tho agreeable notion that trade
follows the flag has been badly shat
tered.. Colonies, however profitable
when all trade was monopolized, are
now a burden to every country in
Europe. So we rather expect that a
change In the concept of national
honor is coming about.
We get about one-fifth of the Fill
pinos quite inconsiderable foreign
trade which we would get anyway;
and buy from them eleven million
dollars' worth of hemp a year as we
would do whatever flag they had. As
a business proposition our colony, so
far, has been a dismal failure.
WO are indebted to the islands,
also, for a record rather singular in
our annals, beginning with the "wa
ter treatment" episodes and extend
ing to the latest army scandal. This
record suggests that dominion over
pagans involves certain moral risks.
The Filipinos, insofar as they ex
pressed themselves at all in the re
cent election finds our rule (of the
islands) as little to. their profit and
liking as we find it to our own.
President McKinley said, "The
flag is there; who will haul it down?"
meaning 'that, having stepped into
a bad mess, we must stay in, how
ever little that benefited anybody,
for withdrawal would involve na
tional dishonor. The other day
Speaker Cannon said, "I would bo
in favor of getting out of the Philip
pines tomorrow if there was any
honorable way of getting out"
which, we should say, implies a rath
er wistful leaning toward the hope
that there may, after all, be an hon
orable way out. This difference is
simply the effect of seven years' un
profitable experiencer
Other nations have the same prob
lem. We suspect it will finally bo
discovered that to act with common
sense in the matter of the unprofit
able .policing of savage territory Is
quite honorable. Saturday Evening
