Collapse.
"Early adjournment" Is now the
slogan of the administration Repub-
licans. President McKinley hss ad-
vised certain members of congress that
he thinks June I a good time for ad-
journment. In other words, the presi-
dent would feel more at ease if his
own congress were not continually em-
phasizing the blunders which he so
readily makes without any assistance
at olL Mark Hanna la credited with
having given the administration the
luminous ides that congress would
only continue to pile valuable cam-
paign material up for the Democrats
and that It could sot be gotten out of
the way too soon. It Is estimated that
the appropriation bills can be rushed
through by June I. and there really
isn’t very much else in sight.
As to the insular possessions the
program it imperialism with the ad-
ministration os sole director. It is
thought that with the Puerto Rican bill
once out of the way the bill continu-
ing military rule in the Philippines can
easily be put through by the Republi-
can majority.
The Hawaiian bill baa already been
voted on in house and senate and now
goes to conference. It contains plenty
of loopholes for the perpetuation of
contract labor slavery, and that Is the
one thing which the sugar planters
want. The bill provides that civil
prosecution shall supersede criminal
action In case a laborer breaks his con-
tract. But it has been amply proved
that the civil courts imprison, the la-
borer until he is ready to return to
servitude, so that is satisfactory to
those who find such labor a great
cource of profit.

Snsstknrlng LsgUlslIon.
The Republicans have a general pro-
gram of smothering In committee ev-
erything which might embarrass them
On this theory the Cour d'Alene inves-
tigation is being drawn out, in the
hope that if the military affairs com
mtttee reports at all it will be too late
for any extended discussion or definite
action.
The army and navy appropriation
bills are pretty well under way. They
ask altogether an appropriation of
about 9200,000,000 for the flacal year,
The administration la piling up the ex-
penses of militarism until they come
very close to the expenditures of the
great continental powers. There has
been some desultory talk of a reduc-
tion of war taxes. The Republican
leaders in congress plead want of time
In which to handle such a measure,
but the real reason la that they do not
know where to begin lopping off the
taxes. If they make a reduction which
appeals to the popular mind they will
offend very Important special Interests
and vice versa. So on the whole It la
likely that the people will be permitted
to pay war taxes until they register
their opinion of that and several other
pieces of administration policy at the
polls next. November.
Oss. Otis* Ret are.
It it now definitely stated that Gen.
Otia la to return from the Philippines
at an early date. Of course he la not
ordered” home. He has merely been
notified that he had better return at
hla earliest convenience. He will prob-
ably be glad to drop the whole task
and let the new commission potter
around and theorise during the rainy
season. It is suggested st Washington
that the new commission is going to
the Philippines to Investigate and ex-
plain what the farmer commission, of
which Admiral Dewey was a member,
managed to accomplish. Nobody ex-
pects that any commission will do any-
thing of value, but it will furnish Mc-
Kinley with an excuse for making
campaign promises about the rainbow-
tinted future of American imperialism
in the Philippines. The administration
is possessed with a comfortable delu-
sion that the voters of the country only
need to have Its Philippine policy
"explained" and all will yet be well.
Aa a matter of fact, there are indica-
tions that Washington la about the
only place In the country where the
administration policy is not thorough-
ly understood and condemned. And
the lack of understanding here la con-
fined to the administration and Its fol-
lowers in congress.
The sick list in the Philippines la
growing so rapidly that the sick sol-
diers are to be huddled like cattle on
board transports and sent home. The
hoapital room la needed in Manila, and
it Is now discovered that the two ex-
pensive hospital ships, Missouri and
Relief, are practically unaeaworthy. so
the sick soldiers must take the long
Journey in actual discomfort If not ab-
solute privation.
Adoal—l Dewey’s Candidacy.
Admiral Dewey'a announcement of
his determination to be a candidate for
president crystallised the vague fear
that had been noted In administration
circles for aome time. McKinley has
made so many blunders that his op-
position in his own party la growing
formidable. Dewey's announcement
spread such consternation In the ad-
ministration ranks that the Republic-
ans hastened to discredit and belittle
even hta Manila exploit. They were so
afraid and anxious that they could not
confine their criticism to the admiral's
lack of political knowledge and hla ev-
ident Ignorance of the gravity of pend-
ing political Issues. The Democrats
met hla announcement by reiterating
their Intention to nominate Bryan.
Dewey could not possibly be the Dem-
ocratic candidate, end the Democrats
could afford to give him full credit for
bis great victory. His action did not
interfere with their pinna. It Is true
that Dewey says, “I am a Democrat of
the Cleveland type." That and his re-
port on the Philippine commission are
sufficient. In so far as he has nay
political convictions he stands for im-
perialism and militarism. It is said
that when he has made up his mind
on a few other Important Issues he will
give out n statement of his beliefs.
Outside of the uneasiness caused In
administration circles by hla announce-
ment the general feeling In Washing-
ton was one of commiseration that so
gallant n gentleman should, in his ig-
norance of matters political, have made
so ill-advtoed an announcement. It can
bring him no honor, and rather de-
tracts from the great naval reputation
to which he la so Justly entitled.
The Haas* ts4 Faerie Use
The house Republicans now have the
opportunity of re-establlahlng them-
selves in the respect of their constit-
uents and the entire country by declin-
ing to pass the Foraker Puarto Rican
tariff and government bill. The ad-
ministration leadera will try to force
a vote on Wednesday (April 18) and
allow only a few hours for debate.
Many members are absent on both
aides, but the Democrats will probably
manage to get back more of their ab-
sentees than the Republicans. The out-
come ia very problematical, but the
Republican lenders believe that noth-
ing la to be gained by delay.
All the Republicans who voted
against the original tariff bill still hold
to the same opinion, and there is sharp
protest from others that the govern-
ment bill creates an oligarchy of
which the administration is the su-
preme head. The Puerto Ricans can
be taxed without representation, val-
uable franchises cap be given to ad-
ministration favorites the island can
be managed by “carpetbaggers." and
neither its inhabitants nor the people
of this country have any voice in the
matter. If the house Republicans pass
this obnoxious measure they certainly
will have to reckon with an outraged
public sentiment next fall.

MILITARISM AND TRUSTS.
"Added to those declarations will bs
an attack upon imperialism and the
trusts, both of which owe their exis-
tence to the fostering care of the Re-
publican party, and how nearly akin
are these creatures of toryism: im-
perialism, which would conquer and
tyrannise over foreign peoples, and
the trust, which represents the impe-
rial power in control of Industry.
There is the railroad magnate and the
monopolistic captain of Industry, who
rule with sovereign power and sneer
at democratic methods and business as
contemptuously as s esar. I for one
believe that time will demonstrate that
the imperialistic policy of this admin-
istration is deliberately demanded by
the monopolstic forces which control
the Republican policy. I believe these
men well understand that military
force is the sole instrumentality
through which they can continue their
domination of our government, hence
they welcome any foreign policy which
will Involve a large standing army,
and what their purpose is in dealing
with protesting labor receives its per-
fect illustration in the military gov-
ernment which has prevailed for many
months in Shoshone county, Idaho,
where, for an offense against property
committed by a few men, hundreds of
citixens have been imprisoned, held at
the point of the bayonet, deprived of
their civil rights and subjected to civil
wrongs which even the exar of Russia
would hardly practice with Impunity,
and at \hls very moment the rights of
miners to labor In the Coeur d'Alene Is

an officer of the United States army,
who seems to be as distinctly under
the command of the mine owners as if
be were their private employs.”—
George Fred Williams, at Rhode Is-
land Democratic convention.
THE GOLD LEAK.
A drain of 915,000,000 a year in our
gold coin, disappearing no man knows
whither, unknown oven to the officials
of the United States treasury, who
have been in the habit of carrying the
lost balances over from year to year, is
too Important a loss to be allowed to
continue. Now that we have the gold
standard it is material to prevent it
from shrinking. If we have a yard
stick it must be kept at three feet of
twelve Inches each or it ceases to be a
yard stick. This ought to be as plain
83 a pike staff.
Nay, more: it may be possible that
when the national banks finish print-
ing bank notes and when the govern-
ment ceases expanding the national
dpbt to accommodate bankers and
money lenders, somebody will take it
Into his bead to ask for the gold coin
of redemption, and we shall be ahort
9300,000,000, which somebody must
have, for that amount of gold coin is
not lost through a crack in a sidewalk
like a flve-dollar gold piece or swal
lowed by infants as are ordinary pen-
nies.
With all diffidence It la suggested
that the most of it is in England and

rency reaches the proper volume

robbing the people.
In addition to the pernicious trusts
which are crushing labor and imposing
a yoke upon the necks of the people, a
robber monopoly is created by the Re-
publican currency bill, establishing an
absolute gold standard and refunding
the national debt aa the basis for the
ftsue of private bank note*. Speaking
upon the subject, Penn’s Grove (N. J.)
Weekly thus exposes some of the In
wardness of the act:
“If the government issues a note tho
government sells it for labor or senr
ice. The possessor owns it and
draws no interest from the people,
the government coins a sliver dollar it
represents labor or service in mining,
•melting and coining It. The owner
posses les it and It draws no Interest
from the people. Not so with bank
ndtes. They are never sold for service,
but loaned for Interest payable In ad
vance. If the above amounts of silver
dollars were coined it would require
that amount of employment for labor.
“To get these bank notes needed to
take the place of that much-needed
more money for commerce will require
the people to borrow them of bankers
at 6 per cent and cost from 913.000,000
(on 9200.000.000) to 931,600.000 (on
9360.000.000) more each year than now
That prospective increase of profits to
national bankers is a big investment
on their contribution to McKinley's
campaign fund and there will be
enough left for another contribution.
That Is what is meant by 'sound mon
ey' and an ‘honest dollar.'
“If the American people would stop
to study and think seriously what vast
amounts they are legally robbed of
every year they would rl*e In revolu-
tion at tha ballot box and prohibit
every corporation from issuing notes
to circulate as money, and have their
own legal tender money Issued by
congress as the constitution Intended.
Bank notes are not a legal tender to
pay debts and national banka will not
take (hem for the payn ent of princi-
pal nor Interest on bonds due a bank
from the government, the people.
They demand gold.
WHERE AIR YOU. M'KINLEY 7
We've been huntin’ you, McKinley, but
we don't know where you air;
When we clap our fingers on you, why,
we find you’re never there.
When we hunted through the tariff, in
the place you'd ought to be,
Why, you wasn’t 'round there nowhere,
least as far as we could see.
In this Puerto Rico thingumbob we
thought we'd find you sure;
When we got there you'd been trek-
king, like the smooth and wily
Boer;
So we asked the gold supporters if
they thought we'd find you there,
And they said they guessed so, some
place, but they didn't just know
where.
Alger said he hadn't seen you, and he
shed a bitter tear _
When he said you’d gone an’ left him
like a sinking ship last year.
When we visited Mark Hanna, who
was busy countin' pelf.
Why. he said he couldn't tell us, fer he
didn't know hisself.
So we’ve just.kep’ on a-huntin' till
we’re nearly petered out.
And, although we thought we had you.
now wejfind we're still in doubt
If these lines should ever reach you,
and you'd write us where you be.
You'd confer a good-sized favor on
your friends, the G. O. P.
Washington, April 23.—The Sultan
of Turkey is the ablest diplomat now-
reigning and it ia inconceivable that
the Turkish minister has not warned
his sovereign of the American attitude,
after officially learning at the state
department that the matter had not
been magnified by the press, that the
patience of the president and the peo-
ple had been exhausted and that,
the prompt redemption of the Sultan'a
repeated promises might have to be
peremptorily demanded.
It ia intimated by diplomats familiar
with the situation that the sultan of
Turkey does not care particularly
whether an ultimatum is issued by the
United States because of the neglect to
pay the claim for 9100,000 which the
United States is now demanding, after
years of promise, aa he has means of
reprisal at hand. There are in the
Philippines more than 3,500,000 Mo-
hammedans, in the Sula Islands, whose
devotion to their Caliphs is fanatical.
The sultan would have to but lift his
finger and these Malays and Moron
would join forces with the Tagalos.
The war in Luzon would be extended in
every direction throughout the islands
and the American forces would neces-
sarily have to be greatly increased.
More then that, a break would give
the sultan a long desired chance to
break certain treaties between the Uni-
ted States and the Ottoman empire.
One of these, concluded shortly after
Commodore Decatur punished the Tri-
politan pirates, guarantees that any
American accused of a crime or misde-
meanor within the Turkish empire shall
be tried only by a United States con-
sular court and be punished only ac-
cording to American laws. This is a
privilege not granted to the subjects of-
any other power, and its advantages
are of peculiar importance to the mis-
sionaries in Turkey.

Cleveland (Ohio) special to Chicago
Tribune: Two strikes were inau-
gurated in the building, trades this
morning which involved almost 500
men and threw out of work 300 addi-
tional men. The plumbers were the
first to strike. There were 286 of them
and they demanded an advance of
wages to 99.60 for first-class and 92.26
for aecond-claas men, making the ad-
vance 30 and 26 centa a day respective-
ly. The master plumbers refused to
grant the Increase because of the ob-
jectionable rules with which the de-
mand was coupled.
Two hundred lathers also struck for
an advance of 60 cents a day, making
their pey 93. Three hundred plaster-
ers are thrown out of work by this

The Plague la Manila.
Manila, April 34.—The sudden deaths
of Filipinos and Chinamen in (Juiapo
Market have led to an investigation,
showing that fifteen cases of the
plague, fourteen of which were fatal,
have occurred within a week. The
market is located in the center of the
city. In black, rotten, wooden build-
ings, the keepers of the stalls live with
their families huddled together in
filth. Some of the victims were
stricken and died within an hour.
There have been several deaths in
other sections of the city recently,
which have been traced to infection
from the market. After all the mar-
ket people had gathered together the
health officers threw a guard around
the buildings and will keep the in-
mates quarantined there for a fortnight
They will then burn the market. The
total number of bubonic deaths are 119
Chinamen and sixty-four Filipinos.
