MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND THE .
Y PHI LI PINE? TARIFF , .
ri"1 ' - -: , -
Mr. CamberlaIn advocates free trdde
between the Philippine Islands and the
United States. - This Is another quen
tionon which Mr. Chamberlain does not
, seem to be In entire accord; i with the
party to which he belongs. ' When the
bill was ponding- in the Senate.' provid-
: maintaining government In the Phil
- lnpne Islands, It provided that 75 per
cent or tne uingiey auties anouiu bo
leviea upon r'niiipptne prouucis com
ing into the. United States, j
Senator Foraker, a Republican Sena
tor from Ohio, proposed, to amend' the
provision, by striking out 75 and Insert
in 0 J atf that on nrovlao of th bill
would ead as follows: ' - I,'..--.'-
-Frofided, that upon all artlcts, the
growth or product of the Philippine
archipelago, coming Into the- United
State from the1 Philippine archipel
ago, there shall be levied, collected and
paid only 50 per cent of the rates of
duty aforesaid." ! "
- On this amendment, four Democrats
only voted for,; while every other Dem
ocratic Senator 1 present and voting
voted "no." ' -Among those voting
'against tlswere Senator Turner from
Washington, senators jieitieia ana
Dubois from Idaho, Senator Rawlins
of Utah, Senators, Patterson and Tel-,
ler of Colorado ; Cevery Democratic
Senator west.TOf the Missouri river).
The fact that: the bin provides, for 75
per cent duty,' instead of 50: per cent,
depends largely upon the vote of Dem
ocratic SenatoVa. ; A' majority of the
Republican Senators .; voted T for tbe
Foraker amendment. An "overwhelm
ingr, majority of the Democratic Sena-
tors voted against it. and it- was. lost.
An interesting question, however,
might be proposed to Mr. Chamberlain.
- How would he maintain and pay the
expenses; of the this Government In the
Philippine Islands now?; Not at some
future time, but at this time? - The de
cision of the Supreme Court . cut off
revenues almost '. wbolly. , Ownership
of property; Is unsettled. There is no
system of assessment and taxation.
The Philippine Islands- know no such
eystem. of .taxation as that by which
the pepple of Oregon and other states
and territories of the Union support
their government. The : only .ones In
vogue are remnant of the old Span
ish system.. Under nat, revenue was
raised largely by duties unon exports
m-ty could not be collected. All of the
revenue, every, dollar ' of It, derived
from tariff taxes In the Philippine Isl
ahds and upon Philippine goods, goe
for the support of tbe Philippine" gov
ernment. The UnJtmd States relin
quishes tbe right-that it' exercises in
alf of its other' territory, of collecting
Internal revenue taxes. It relinquishes
the right to receive custom duties and
put them Jn tbe treasury, of the United
States, . . ' -r -,: '
Will Mr. Chamberlain outline a tax
system" that he would have us enforce
now, and the methods that tie would
have us apply to pay the expense, Ct
the Philippine government? . Or does
he prefer that the people of the. Phil
ippine Islands should be exempt from
aU taxes,' and that , tbe expense 6t. the
government should be paid out of the
Federal Treasury through the taxation
of the people of the. United States?
It Is easy to ; find, fault, Mr. Cham
berlain..; v.- i v
It t seasy to' criticise. , Give us your
ideas: of constructive legislation on this
subject. Several statesmen on both
sides of the chamber at Washington
would be glad to have some enllght-
ment on this question,
loosely. joined chinese em
. jire. . :
A striking example of bow loosely
the Chinese Empire Is hung together
is afforded by the. fact that Sven Hedln,
pursuing his explorations in the. west
ern part of the vast possessions over
which Kwangsu.is nominally ruler, did
not even bear rumors., of the . events
which were taking place in the Eastern
part when the court fled and Pekln felL
China Was engaged 4n a struggle , with
all the world, a struggle which threat
ened her very exlstenece as a, Nation,
and "only a limited number of Chinese
knew anything about 1L Sungaria,
Eastern "Turkestan and Thibet were as
little affected by the war In Chi -11 and
Manchuria as if it had been aking
place in Honduras. ;
It would seem to be only a matter of
tradition which keeps thesQ dependen
cies) part of the Chinese Empire, any
way; the Chinese authority is enly
nominal over thorn, they furnish, no
troops for ltsdefense, and their trade
with China proper Is limited and un
certain. If the'jwesteTn part of the em- .
pi re had risen to drive back ' the in
vaders; 'if the . southern ' viceroys had
not sat supinely by watching the strug
gle go on -with indifferent eyes, there
might have been another tale to tell of
the allied expedition which dictated
terms in the Fotbidden City, j)-: !
If China, ever becomes a Nation so
solidified that It will be as hard to dis
member her as it is now to keiep her
together, she will Indeed, be a power
to reckon with. But a Nation In which
the taking of the; capital city and the
driving out of the ruler la only a local
affair, not even known la nor heard of
n three great provinces of the' empire,'
presents an astonishing spectacle of
impotency, and tt is no wonder the
Russian bear regards It as appointed
by Providence to be gobbled up by him

OPENING OF CAMPAIGN.
The opcmlng of the Marlon counly
campaign yesterday;1' gives renewed
faith In the success of the whole Re
publican ticket at the polls next month.
The Republicans are strongly fortified
with facts and backed, up with prin
ciples that are right, and they are able
to present them forcibly; and plainly.
They have the best of the argument.
They take the" lad. The strength of
their position and arguments Is posi
tive. . . ' t ' : ' .' j . i
And then the Republican county and
Legislative ticket is a good and strong
one. There are no weak spots In the
ticket, There Is none to make excuses
for.- Nt- candidate' has a damming re
cord. . Each one is able to stand up
and defend himself in a fair and manly
way, and to speak out his asjntlments
and beliefs .independently sjid openly.
There are no collars. There are no
bosses. -
The report of the experts who have
examined the books of the Marlon
county officials will help the campaign
forthe Republicans. ' It helps to prove
that the Republicans of Marlon county
have carried cut their party pledges
to the people. The finances- of Marion
county have not been In as good condi
tion as now for twenty years. The Re
publicans on. the present Campaign are
pledging the taxpayers areduction In
the levy for th future. : This can be
eafely done. Continued and' further
economy in expenditures, with the nb
sence of any interest to pay, will enable
this . pledge to be redeemed; And sf
course it must and will be redeemed. '
' It Is not at all likely that the pro
posed amendment to the CorrstituCon
of this state for the initiative and .ref
erendum will be adopted at tbe polls
next month, though both the Republi
can and Democratic platforms,- and all
other party platforms, have declared In
favor of it. ; The reader will notice sn
article 4n another. column making ref
erence to the fact that a majority vote
Is "probably" required for the- adop
tion of Such an amendment. This is
mor"""than . probable, . In view of tbe
reading of the Constitution on this
point, as . follows; - "If a majority of
said electors shall ratify the same, such
amendment or amendments shall be
come a part of; this Constitution." A
majority of the electors could certainly
have no more lib? ral construction than
the majority voting. This wot?H r-rt
votes in all for the amendment. They
will scarcely be given,
some votes against it.
TheVe will be
Ther will be
more who will not votie at all on the
amendment. ? '
EYES ON OREGON ELECTION.
Political leaders of all parties in the
year of a national or cjongress election
always keep close-watch on the states
that vote for state officers prior to the
general- election ; In November. This
year the state of Oregon is classed, as
the straw that is to indicate the prob
able direction of the shifting , winds of
politics. ;;-'.:::'-j -" - ''r'-Cyy.V::r:'
On June 2 Oregon is to elect a Gov
ernor for, four years, aj Legislature for
two year and two members of Con
gress for two, years each. This will be
the first state election this year and the
result , Is expected to I; indicate pretty
clearly If there is any possibility of a
revival of the Bryantzed Democracy.
te"he Democratic platform for the cam
paign, now . In progress Is decidedly
Popullstlc and there la. no attempt at
party reform or reorganisation. The
platform denounces the Dlngley tariff
without reserve, denounces all trusts.
condemmvexpanslon, demands the elec
tion of United States Senators by di
rect vote of the people and insists upon
those good ' old Populbrt demands for
the Initiatlve( and referendum. Popu
Usm was at one time very strong in the
state, and- Is evidently - still . strong
enough to dictate the party platform.
, in 1S98, Oregon was one of the close
and doubtful ; states. R was carried
by McKInley ; by a plurality of 2,000.
In 1898, Oeer, Republican, was elected
Governofj'by a plurality of 10,000, and
In 1900, McKinley carried the state by
18,000., '- I '' t ;. .
The Republican platform this year
re-aiTinms the natlonalj platform of the
party and approves the record of the
party in nation and state. The Demo
cratic party In platform re-affirms the
Kansas City declaration without mak
ing any further demand for the free
coinage of silver. Oregon has not been
classed with the group of free silver
states, but the present Democratic plat
form Is as Populist ic 1 as Mr. Bryan
could ask. The present Congressmen
from the state are bith Republicans.
Reports from the statie are to the ef
fect that the Democrats have made
denunciation of the policy of the pres
ent national administration their chief
issue of the campaign, while the Re
publicans have defended it and. mads
a tv issue of the greati prosperity that
has prevailed throughout the country
since 189T.N h '- ' y-l :. '
f The state Is m excellent financial and (
industrial condition and the Republican
leaders expect to carry It by a plural
ity larger than they had four years ago.
The Democrats say . hat Democratic
gains In Oregon would Indicate a' turn
of the political tide and would revive
the party In every section of the coun
try. The fact that the election Is to be
hcldvso early has caused both parties
to make a hard fight.
The results will
be awaited with interest by politicians
of all sections. New York Eveninr

AGAINST OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Mr. Wanni tlie Democratic candidate
for Superintendent of-Public Instruct

who has appeared. In the political
arena for some time. He stood up be
fore a large and intelligent audience of
Democrats a t the ope ra house Satur

child before h could llnlsh the public

work the pupil injured Its' physical

THEVEGETARIAN HUSBAND.
As a rule, the vegetarians seem to
be amiable and tolerant persons,
against whom it would be wrong to
nuote the case . of Nebuchadnezzar.
They ars enthusiastic, a good many of
them. They would like to wean the
meat eater from the error of his 'ways
and teach him to eat what is good for
him. , This disposition indicates pail
s -
anthropy rather than fanaticism. The
vegetarians believe that their diet is
good for man. They do right In trying
to persuade him to take it. They rant

Onevln a while there is an exception.
An exchange .cites the Cleveland Vase
of Dennis sgainst Dennis.
Mrs. Den-
nis sued for a - divorce
from Krnest
Dennis. ; She averred that her husband
was not only a vegetarian, but wished
to be the cause of vegetarianism In
others, -i She didn't know until after the
marriage that he was not carnivorous.
She soon' found out that he was' very
"set" in his notions of food. He would
n't allow any. meat to be brought into
the bouse. The" bride had to eat veg
etarian dishes or go without eating al
together. ; may have been her prej
udice, her nervousness or hen- fault, but
her husband's diet didn't agree with
her. She dwindled; peaked and pined.
She couldn't . get enough to cat, : She
grew thin on the unsubstantial ban
quets which made her husband stout.
He was Increasing and she was de
creasing. His stern missionary labors
for the downfall of meat r may have
been sincere, but he forgot that crank
ism shouldn't begin at home. The table
groaned with things which the woman
couldn't -' or wouldn't, eat. She grew
tired of chameleon's diet.. She packed
her trunks and left the vegetarian to
commune with his vegetables. ,
The judge granted a decree. "In de
nying hi wife ; the , food which io bet
was a necessity of life he was guilty
of neglect." said the Judge. The hus
band took, this view of the matter cr
else he .had rather ; lose a wife 'than
modify bis ardor for vegetarianism. He
wrote a letter to the Judge, asking that
the separation askevl for be given. But
what shall be thought of the wisdom
of the man, who forces, his notions of
diet upon his wife? Would even pati
ent Griselda have borne, patiently the
command to abstain, from ; butcher
meat and live on greengrocer's stuff?
Of the many queer fish that get mar
ried, and, squabble about it at their
leisure, the husband with a system of
diet which he Insists upon . driving
down the throat of the party of the
second part Is not the least queer.
HELP THE DAI Ll ESI
. The Introduction of the rural free de

as a fair example. It adjoins Alle- I
gheny Ounty on the south and no part
of It is more than sixty miles .from the
city of Pittsburg. Tbe area. ' of ' the
county Is 889 square miles. v
The rural delivery system was In
augurated in the county .nearly four
years ago, and two years ago a com
plee system was put Into operation,
with ninety-seven carriers and . cne
Wagon. These carriers serve an aver
age of 100 famllle each, or more thani
10,000 famines.' The superintendent off

A curious story Is told of R r. jblU
can politics in Oregon to the effe t that
In that state no Republican Oovt'thor
was1 ever re-elected, and that in fiirct
no one was over re-nominated. The"
unbroken practice of the party has
been to seek a new candidate to "lea, I
:trt a fight succeeding a Republican
administration. We have not Imi.-.-Hii-
ately at hand, the data to show how
far this policy has been successful; but

ELIM. Crolsari seems to be quite able :
to defend his record as an officlnl. He '

The voluntary reduction of railroad
fare jfrom four to three cents a mile
over the lines of the Southern Pacific,
in Oregon Is an act that speaks well
for that company's management. The
reduction will take place Immediately
and will have the effect of greatly aug
menting the possenger traffic all along
the line. J .
