T here is every indication that Con

to advise the appointment by Congress
of a commission which will make a

Dairymen guilty of putting such stuff
in milk richly deserve the halter.
S ilver is steadily advancing in price
The Treasury Department has pur
chased 1,000,000 ounces of silver bullion
for delivery at the San Francisco mint
for the Philippine coinage at 60.125
cents per ounce, the highest price that
has yet been paid. The New York
market for silver reflects the price es
tablished in London, where the market
has been strong for several months,
the advance being attributed in great
measure to demand from India and to
purchases by the United States govern
ment for the Philippine account.
T he United States census for 1900
finds 3536 persons in the United States
who are 100 or more years of age. The
value of these figures may be question

by the fact that 72.8 per cent of the
whole number are negroes, many of
whom have no reliable evidence as to
the date of their birth. They are but
11 per cent of tho total population. It
seems improbable, too, that this coun
try should have over 3500, when Ger

Dawe« Commission Qole*cent.
The scandals in the interior depart
ment have led to tbe nrrest of Benja
min II. Colbert. United States mar-
>hal for tbe Indian Territory. Benja
min was a member of that immortal
(quad of rough riders and was tho or
derly who attended the strenuous
movements of Colonel Roosevelt. The
name of Colbert would possibly never
have been otherwise enrolled on the
scroll of fame if Colonel Roosevelt had
not accidentally been promoted to be
president of the United States. The
president has an enormous patronage
to distribute, aud as the politicians dic
tate to him nearly all the appointments
In the states and as most of the ap
pointees are notoriously unfit and
many of them corrupt and incompetent
the president took the bit in bis mouth
when it caine to making selections for
the territories. He wished to give the
politicians of his party au example of
the class of men he would select If he
were left untrammeled by tbe Itepub-
lican wire pullers. To do thls Presl-
deut Roosevelt had to turn down Colo-
nel John S. Hammer, who was the
United States marshal appointed by
President McKinley, a Grand Army
man and Indorsed by all the leading
Republicans of the territory for ap
pointment
But the personal selection of the pres
ident has turned out to be no better, if
not worse, than those of Senators
Hanna. Quay, Platt and the other Re
publican spoilsmen, for while the ma
jority of the appointees of those
worthies have so far succeeded in keep
ing out of the clutches of the law the
personal appointee of the president is
in limbo charged with many crimes
and misdemeanors. The New York
Post thus enumerates them:
“This official is accused of using his
power for political purposes. Letting
prisoners out of Jail that they might
vote was one of his pleasing pastimes,
imprisoning Indians for not voting ac
cording to bis wishes was another.”
But the strenuousness of Benjamin
is hardly to be wondered at. His edu
cation in Cuba and the Philippines has
together taught bis ill balanced mind
that Indians and Filipinos have no
rights that a white man like Benjamin
is bound to respect and that laws are
made but to be broken when it suits
the whim or policy of those in author
ity. He had seen Colonel Roosevelt
and others sign a round robin in
Cuba which transgressed the articles of
war and would have been followed by
court martial if the politicians who
were responsible had cared to order an
investigation. General Alger at that
time was on too thin ice to be sure of
bls footing, and tbe round robin was
passed over with a reprimand.
“Words are good when backed by
deeds and only ao.” and Benjamin was
trying to carry out this precept of his
benefactor by interpreting it to suit
the strenuous times in Indian Terri
tory. Being evidently in league with
the “land ring.” it was necessary to
carry the election there at all cosL The
bad Indians in jail he let out to vote
tbe way he wanted them to. Tbe good
Indians, who were intent on voting to
save their land, which interfered with
the purposes of the land robbers to
•teal IL were shut up In prison to pre
vent them from voting.
What a distorted view of tbe justice
of Uncle Sam the white and red in
habitants of the Indian Territory must
have when the United States marshal
who is chief of police of the territory,
the friend and personal appointee of
the president, does such deeds as these!
And tbe Dawes commission looked
on with their hands folded behind
them, ready to receive their share of
the reward, and they still hold office
by the grace of President Roosevelt.
No wonder the cry goes up from the
Indian Territory, “Turn the rascals
out!”

A ccording to the reported annua
expenses of the Sultan of Turkey he
must be a “good fellow.” It is estimat
ed that bis expenses are *430,000,000.
Of this *7,500,000 alone is spent on the
clothing of the women and *400,000 on
the sultan’s own wardrobe. Nearly
another *7,500,000 is swallowedup by
presents, *5,000,000 goes for pocket
money, and still another *5,000,000 for
the table. It seems incredible that so
much money can possibly be spent in a
year by one man; but when it Is re
membered that some 1,500 people re
side within the palace walls, and live
luxuriously and dress expensively at
the cost of the civil list, it appears a
little more comprehensible. His ex
penses and cussedness go hand-in-hand.
T he Department of Commerce and
labor could be made one of the most
valuable departments in the govern
mentin connection with the consular
service. If politics were kept out of
the consular service and men were se
lected for foreign missions for their fit
ness, instead of their pull, it would
mean the introduction of American
manufactures into every quarter of
the world. Il American consuls were
familiar with the customs and language
of the people and country to which they
were sent, and then would spend their
time helping the department of com
merce introduce our products among
strangers, the consular service would
answer some of the purposes intended.
England educates young men for this
service, and places them where their
education best fits them, and through
this wise policy has held the commer
cial supremacy of the world for cen
turies. Instead of picking up worn-out
politicians, whose usefulness at home
has passed away, and sending them out
to the g reat cities of the world to spend
their terms In idleness or pleasure seek
ing, if the United States would select
vigorous young men for these stations
—young men who would make friends
for the country and furnish informa
tion by which American products
could be sent into the remotest corner
of the world, this country would wed
herself to the foreign races by creating
a demand for her progressive Ideas.
Politics and partlsanlsm at home has
done more to cripple tbe United States
by holding back development than all
^ter outside foes combined.
The American Economist the organ
of our protected manufacturers, gives
much space to the protectionist speech
es of Hon. Joseph Chamberlain of Eng
land. “British free trade,” it says,
“ha« resulted in a terrible burden of
poverty crushing the people.” Perhaps.
But no one in or out of England will
assert that conditions in England have
been as bad at any time since “pro
tection” was discarded as before. Nor
will any one with a reputation to lose
assert that conditions In free trade
England are not far better than in any
of the highly protected countries of
Europe.
Look at Russia, which has within
fifteen years become perhaps the most
highly protected country in Europe.
Conditions there are wretched. Tbe
people are starving by thousands.
Wages are very low, *4 to *6 a month
for men in protected mills. An article
in tbe Washington Post of Aug. 22 says
that “during the month of July 200
men were killed aud 2,000 wounded
during the labor disturbances in Rus
sia" and that “the sailors and stokers
of the Russian Trading and Steam
Navigation company at Odessa, who
recently struck, were receiving ouly *6
and
a month respectively."
