MlLli'l'lSE CIVIL aoVKttXMEST.
It Is the purpose of tho administra
tion not to permit the supremo court
decisions to In any way Interfere with
the prearranged policy regarding tlic
Philippines. It Is tho Judgment of tho
president and cabinet that those de
cisions do not render necessary any
change In the government's program.
Therefore It Is announced thnt about
the beginning of July full civil gov
crnment will be Instituted In tho I'hillp
pines, with .ludgo Taft as civil gov-
ernor. This civil government, however,
will be established under the military
government nnd Its functions cvercised
through the military power of tho pros
ldent. This Is not exactly following the
plan which It has been understood was
to be put In operation. It has been
thought that tho Intention was to estab
llsu n civil government which should
be supreme, supported, of course, but
not dominated by the military author
Ity. It appears, however, If the Wash
ington advices are correct, that the mil
Itnry government Is to bo practically
continued and u form of civil admin
lstratlon cstnbllshc'd under it.
Doubtless this Is expedient, ln view
of the tariff complication, since by re
talnlng the mllltnry government the
president may make tariff regulations
nnd It Is proposed to put Into cITcct the
Philippine tntiff framed by the Tnft
commission aud which hns been under
zolng revision at Washington. It Is
apparently the opinion of the ndmln
IstraUou thnt tho hpooner amendment
does not give the president nny nutuoi
ity to denl with the tariff nnd hence
tho expediency of having military gov
eminent lu the slnnds continue su-
prcme until congress shall take action
regarding the tariff,
For the present, therefore, tho ques
tlou of dealing with the Philippines Is
disposed of. What further will be done
regarding them must bo determined by
couircss.

A few days ago the delegation of the
New York Chamber of Commerce visit
Ing Englnud was given a reception by
KIiil' Edwnrd nnd tho exceptional elr
cumstnnco was referred to ns Indicating
tho true spirit In which Aracrlcau bust

W(.rf. weiComed ns tho renresentatlves
of tll0 Mn nnd enterprise which have
turned tho resources of this contluent
to tho service of mankind. They were
told thnt the teeming millions of Grcu
Britain could not Uvo without the food
America produces nnd tho raw materials
for their Industries. It was declared
that to no other nntlon arc English
men drawn as they nro to their kinsmen
ncross tho Atlantic and Iord Luus
dowue. the secretary of foreign nffnirs,
said that "to all the subjects of hi
majesty It requires nn effort to thluk
of our relations with tho United States
as foreign relations."
The American response was no less
friendly nnd cordial. The president of
the New York Chnmbcr of Commerce
said tho two countries "will work hand
In hand, shoulder to shoulder, not rest
i"B satlstled until tho remotest ends of
tl, onlth 8,,aU foU thc off(H-n8 of our

The American ambassador. Mr. Choate,
said: "Commerce will be tho real
peacemaker nnd a messing to mankind
Any real conflict between our two coun
tries Is impossime.
The Intelligent nnd unprejudiced clt
lzons of both countries will Mud in these
expressions nothing thnt can reasonably
bo objected to. All who nro conccrne
for tho progress nud weiraro or ttic
English-speaking peoples must recog
nlze tho Importance of mnlutulnlng
friendly relations between their
branches. It Is not necessary, however,
tn assume that there Is no seltishucss
Involved In this. Blood, language, tra
dltlons unquestionably exert an In
tluence, but that which gives greatest
strength to tho bond'of friendship Is
commercial Interest. When Lord Bra
s?y said that American food nnd raw
1 materials were ncccssary lo thc llfo
of the teeming millions of his country
men he stated tho chief motive of Brit
ish friendship for America. When Mr.
.lessup said that tho btwluess relations
betwetn the two countries amount to
the sum of over ?(iii0.(K)0.(K)0 yearly, be
also pointed out the principal Incentive
to American friendship for England.
Undoubtedly the men of commerce
who met at tho London banquet un-
dcrstood this. They know that the most
powerful bond between (ircat Hrltnlu
und America Is commercial and It Is
growing stronger from year to year.
The Hrltlsh need our products and wo
need their market and thus there Is a
mutual necessity nnd Interest which
make for friendship nnd for pence. At
a tlmo when the continental countries
nro crying out In alarm about tho
"American peril" and are considering
means to check our Industrial and com-
merclol competition, wo may well re-
Kurd with satisfaction the fact that
r.UgllSll imcrem in hum mum........ i-
wanl us Is such as to precludu the pos-
sllilllty of llrltlsh participation in liny
continental movement against us. As
a London paper recently said, "the fact
that the two countries are so Indispen
sable to each other mnkes plans of Eu
ropean coalition against tho United
States an Idle dream, so far as any
British participation Is concerned."
l'lie maintenance and cultivation, of
friendly relations nro equally necessary
nd ndvnntnceous to both countries.

The Impending establishment of ox-
tensive beef packing concerns nt Fort
Worth need cause no alarm for tho fu
ture of the cattle market and meat
packing Industry nt South Omaha.
Texas cattle shipments to this market
have never been very heavy and for tho
past live years have cut little or no tig-
ure In tho business at this point.
Taking It for granted that the Fort
Worth packing houses propose to do-
pond on Texas and Oklahomn cattle
chlotly If not exclusively, tho object In
view evidently Is to reduce the cost of

northern belt. Whether tho high price
of corn has had any bearing upon the
new enterprise or thc decreased demand
for full grown Texas cattle has been
tho Incentive for bringing the now
packing Industry closer to tho Texas
cattle country. Is not fully disclosed.
If any of tho existing markets are to
suffer It will not be Omaha. St. Louis,
Kansas City and St. Joseph may bo uf-
footed for a time. Tho bulk of their
cattle supply comes directly or lndl
rcctly from Texas and Oklahoma, al
though the backbone Is Missouri, Kan
saw. southern Iown and southern No-
brnsku. where higher grade animals are
toned by COIU feeding.
In contrast with Its southern compotl-
tors, the South Omaha market looks
principally to tho cattle raised in No-
braska. western Iowa. South Dakota

Wo are becoming habituated, not to say

of unpleasant truth nnd makes n vain plea
for "Immediate" remedial notion by con
gress. Wo do not remember bow many
ttmea thnt ornamental but helpless body
has recommended legislation authorizing
pooling contracts ns tho "only" and "last"
possible alternative to consolidation on n

Imperative havo become a household pos

So callous arc wo all that the "ringing"
report of tho committee on legislation of
tho National Association of Railroad Com
missioners sounds nulto tamo nnd per
functory. Wo am told thnt the raltways
aro morn than ever a law unto them
selves; that consolidation is tho order of
tho day: that, except as hindered by the
feeble stalo and national boards, tho cor
porations can do as they please In the mat
ter of rates nnd classification nnd discrimi
nation and that tho outcomo Is tho elimina

Community of Interest Is tho method now
substituted for tho plans that have been
outlawed or discredited by experience and tt
Is a method with which legislation cannot
directly Interfere. What, then, Is to be
dono? Tho reader will easily guess tho
rest.
The committee advises legislation "re
straining nnd regulating competition." It
earnestly pleads for the enactment of tho
Cullom bill, which snnctlons pooling agree
ments nnd extends the power of the com
merco commission. This mensuro will
doubtless bo reintroduced tn tho next con
gress and given somo attention. Its
chances nro rather slight. In tho opinion
of many authorities it Is out of date. At
ono tlmo tho rnllroads were anxious to ob
tain pooling legislation, but do they btlll
attach any Importance to that "relief?"
Will they exert themselves to secure It, ac
cepting tho additional restrictions as tho
prlco for tho pooling privilege?
"Community ot Interest" Is stronger than
over. Tho differences which caused tho
Wall street corner and crash have been nd-
usted nnd nothing congress can be Induced
o concedo In the wny of pooling contracts
will cause the abandonment of the plan that
seems to work so well. What tho upshot
of It all will be no ono knows, congress
east of all. This Is hnrdly tho time for
comprehcnslvo nnd wlso railroad legisla
tion.

Bishop William B. Derrick of the African
Methodist Kplscopal church ls n sage and a
philosopher. Ho has Just been presiding
over a church conferenco In Brooklyn. Ho
rules his flock with patriarchal authority
which somo other religious organizations
might think despotic, but with a good
sense which some others would greatly
profit by. Anybody who has been nccus
tomcd to the too common habit of church
committees and conventions of launching
anathemas against persons who beliavo
that any army canteen Is a good thing
rather than a bad thing, or who argue
that an exposition ground Is better open
than closed on Sunday, or who take a
different view from them on tho moral
questions Involved ln any public policy,
will rejoice at tho measure of tho saving
grace of humor nnd common sense which
Bishop Derrick brings to tho rescue of a
race whose wrongs might not unnaturally
move them to loud protests and denuncia
tions whenever occasion required.
Tho conferenco has a committee on tho
state of tho country. It looked over tho
country and saw many things amiss, In
eluding the condition of the negroes In
South Carolina, but Bishop Derrick said:
'Let Tillman alone. Ho's too bad to be
noticed and all you might say would only
recoil on yourselves." That was all well
enough for tho bishop, but tho committee
had a report to make and didn't Hko to he
deprived of all Its good material. So the
chairman objected nnd asked If ho wanted
a blank piece ot paper for a report, nnd
the bishop answered: "Yes! A blank
piece of paper Is a good deal better than a
lot of Inflammatory rubbish. Just report
'Wo havo cViamlncd Into tho condition of
tho country and wc find that tho United
States is nt peace with nil tho world.'
That will do first rate."
Indeed It will! It will do In nlno cases
out of ten In tho matter of committee re
ports and conferenco proceedings of all
kinds. Tho amount of rubbish, Inflam
matory and otherwise, sent forth for the
affliction of mankind by all sorts of people
who feel that they must stir up something
ls beyond computation. If we only had a
few more benevolently despotic Bishop Der
ricks to attend conventions and curb tho
fanatics, busybodles and bores! How do
llghtful tt would bo if halt the misplaced
real for "viewing with alarm" thlugs un
Important or things unchangeable could be
quieted, not with leave to print, but with
a hint that a blank plcco of paper would be
an excellent report!

A correspondent of the St. Louts tlcpubllc
reports thnt tho Washington committee
which had charge of the Inauguration cere
monies ou March 1, has -decided to continue
tho organization for the purpose of secur
ing a change In the date of presidential
Inaugurations, Kvery four years a move
Is made to securo legislation to that end,
but It rarely survives Inauguration day.
The disagreeable weather of March I last,
drenching nil out ot doors, and Imperiling
the health of participants, tends strength
to tho present movement for a change.
Tho committee realizes that It has under
taken a hard task. If the Inauguration of a
president could bo made n simple, busl-ness-llko
proceeding, tho tth of March
would answer as well ns nny other date.
But In the last half century tho tendency
to make It a spectacular affair has grown
steadily, nnd there Is no likelihood thnt
this will be changed In the future. If no
other motive existed the tradesmen nnil
hotel keepers of Washington, who constl
tute the Inaugural committee, generally,
will do their utmost to Induce hundreds ot
thousands of visitors to enjoy tho ceremony
without fear of contracting pneumonia, ns
Is now tho case. It ts said that this dread
disease has. during the most Inclement In
augurations, almost decimated the specta
tors who stood along the line of the paradu
or snt on tho stands with the sleet or snow
often blowing upon thom for hours. To se
curo a change of date, of course, a consti
tutional amendment would be required.
The announcement of the marriage of W.
A. Clark. Jr.. son of the United Stntes sen
ator, to take, place on July 12. to Miss Mabel
Foster of Butte. Mont., has brought out in
n Washington letter a number of Interesting
stories of tho llfo of the unassuming young
millionaire when a student at the tnlver-
slty of Virginia nnd the delicate way he had
of sharing his worldly goods with those less
fortunate than himself.
During part of his school days at tho
university .voting Clark went Into co-opera
tive housekeeping with somo of his fellow
students nnd the test of tho time was spent
In the houso of a southern gentlewoman, a
spinster, nn orphaned daughter of one of
thn former professors of the university.
While In this house young Clark found
that his accommodating landlady was ln a
pretty tight place financially nnd unless
somo good fairy took tho matter In hand
the anccstrat home would pass Into new
hands under n foreclosure of mortgage.
To young Clark the amount Tcqulred to
save the house wai a mere nothing, but to
one reduced lo the extreme of keeping
boarders and students, at that the matter
was a pretty serious one. When tho tlm
for thc foreclosure arrived. Instead of the
humiliating notice expected, thc patient,
kindly woman received a clear title to her
dear old homo. Young Clark had quietly
paid off the mortgage.
In his housekeeping Clark was medest
and unostentatious, ready with hospitality,
and n light-hearted host, and besides his
good school record ho left unwritten pages
of "mere trifles" In the wny of assisting
Indigent students to finish up rtrscs In
the university that would otherwise have
been cut short. In fact, a "wish you welt"
arises In the heart of every student who
knew Clark nt the university.
According to Superintendent Oeorgo W.
Beavers of tho division of salaries and al
lowances of the Postofflco department, the
fodernl government does not loso anything
In a financial way by maintaining a nrst-
clans reputation among tho citizens of the
United States. Mr. Beavers passes upon the.
salary of every postmaster In tho country
and ho also superintends the making of tho
lenses for all tha postofflccs. It was
after signing ono of these documents tho
other day that ho made his comments re
garding tho good reputation of tho govern
ment among thn people who support It.
"Tho federal government stands all right
with tho people," tald Mr. Beavers, as he
gavo n final flourish with his pen. "This
leaso shows It. Hero Is tho owner of ono
of the finest business houses In a booming
Texas town who leases to tho government
a large storeroom for tho postofflce. The
annual rental Is $1. In addition to giving us
tho space tho owner of tho building Is fit
ting up tho ofllce with tho latest Improved
lotter boxes, nnd. In fnct, doing everything
but paying thc postmaster's Bnlary. That
In becauso tho government has the reputa
tion of being such n good tennnt that almost
everybody In tho city calls dally to see Its
representative. Such a reputation Is a good
thing."
Tho Texas town Is not alonr tn this gen
erous treatment of tho government. In
thousands of other towns nnd villages scat
tered all over tho United States, tho Post
offlco department occupies tho best store
rooms free of charge. In some plices where
tho owner of tho building ls Indifferent
regarding tho patronage of tho government
tho business men of tho locality form a
syndicate, rent a deslrnblo room and offer It
for postofflco purposes freo of charge. This
Is dono for the purposo of having a highly
respectablo neighbor. It la said that ln the
smnllcr towns the storerooms in the same
block with tho poHtoftlco rent from 33 1-3
to E0 per cent higher than similarly largo
rooms In equally well constructed buildings
In other parts of tho buslnesi districts.
Tho postofflco brings tho people to that par
ticular locality and wherever thero are
crowds of people there ls always trade.
It has been discovered that a sheet of
tho now Pan-American scries of stamps,
of tho 2-cont denomination, was printed
with tho picture, of the express trnln upside
down. This sheet was In tho package
ahlpped to tho postmaster at Brooklyn, nnd
thn stamps wcro rotnlled out without tho
error having been discovered,
Ono of the purchasers, who had secured
ten of tho stamps, noticed tho capsized ex
press ns he wns about to afflx one to a letter
nnd Immediately sent a letter to tho Bureau
of Kngravlng and Printing In Washlngtou
making complaint. Through the bureau
the news of tho Inverted train came to the
ears of n stamp collector, who tnstnnty saw
visions of a rarity of the very first water.
It ls said that this collector, or his repre
sentative, went to Brooklyn nnd after some
negotiations secured four of the ten Inverted
trains. It appears that the purchaser bad
used four of tho stamps, given away two
and for tho remaining four received $50
each. Could ho have secured the whole
sheet, his profits would have amounted to
$l,!i3S on an Investment ot tZ.
It ls understood that the Washington roan
who paid i'iO each for the stamps has ro
fused an offer of double that amount. Just
what prlco will utimately bo received for
the six copies known to be in existence
cannot bo foretold, That Is dependont upon
several contingencies. If thorn should
never bo moro than these six copies, the
holders would be ablo to got their own

The Burlington railroad, following tha
lead of certain eastern lines, has issued
au order for the suppression of the trnlu
boy. Kor thc most part the tracllng
public has received this news with ac
claim. It Is plainly to be seen that tho
tralnboy Is not popular. There Is rejoicing
at his downfall because of general resent
ment of his conduct and of his abuse of tho
privileges that havo been granted him.
But there Is another side of tho question.
Foreigners often complain that thero la
nothing distinctive or Individual about
American llfo and Institutions. One ob
server has said that tho only really Ameri
can thing about America Is tho universality
of Ice wntcr. Others have seen In pie tho
only actually new contribution that wo
have made to civilization. Thcso critics
forget the tralnboy. lio Is as distinctively
American as mince pie, and, It may bo
added, h.is perhaps caused as much Indi
gestion. He la a product of our life. No
whero else tn tho world Is his Jaunty
pertness discoverable as he goes through
n car snatching papers nut of tho hands
of passengers that hn may sell them to
others, or else swell the number nf hl.t
"returns" to the newspaper ot'lre. So wn
lose something genuinely American when
wn loso him. And thero Is another thing;
we lose. The profession of train butih
erlng has been a nursery of greatness.
Was not David Bennett Hill n seller of
peanuts? Have not Innumcrnhlp congress
men and railroad presidents commenced
life by yelling out: "Here nro your double
Jointed camel backs!" What are our story
writers to do when they can no longer pic
ture Juvenile worth putting Us foot on thu
first rung of the ladder In a news com
pany service? And with the fall of thi
tralnboy, literature or at least a certain
kind will suffer. What will Albert Bossert
do for customers without tho tralnboy to
push their "Thou Shalt Nots?" Whero
will tho public be nble to get Ingcrsoll'a
speeches or Tnlmnge's sermons? Mnny
a person has got his start in tho rending
of books becauso tho "butcher" would not
let go. Indeed, not a few publishing houson
havo grown rich simply by providing thn
mntcrlal for the. tralnboy demand. So, al
though thero may bo general rejoicing over
tho passing, not a few will water his mem
ory with a tear of self-interest.
