DEMOCRATS HAVE THE ISSUE.
It Is milte evident now that the
Dcmoeiats, who never build and al
waa destroj. Intend to make the prin
cipal Issue In the State and Congres
sional cimpalgn thin fall upon the
fultiro government of tho Philippine
At last they have found nit Issue. And
what an Issue'
Will some generous pei son kindly tell
The Tribune what the Democrats in
Congiess or out of Congress know
about n government for the rillplnos"
Where have the Democrats ever es
tnbllsbed n government, or peaceably
or piosperoufl) maintained a govern
ment of any sorf Alvaa finding
fault, constantly raising Issues, they
never suggest an j thing that has not,
In some form, been proven Impracti
cable, a failure.
Possibly the Democrats have n theory
as to what we should do In the Phil
ippines. Undoubted!), If forced, they
will prescribe a pauncea. They, as a
party, were full of theories and pana
ceas before and during the war of
1861-E. The hud theories about trnde,
weie opposed tn a tariff and declared
icclproclty a in) til. They were for
greenback Inflation In two nr three
campaigns, decades apart, nnd then In
1806-1WXI they were for Mr. ltryan's
plans. They wanted war with Spain
and as soon us It vvas begun they began
to complain of Its conduct. They were
for the acquirement of territory ns n
lesult of II e war until they saw Presi
dent McKlnlev favored expansion, and
then they opposed It, And now thej
don t like Piesldent Uoosevclt's treat
ment of the rillplnos Thoy have an
other theory, and that s to be the
tumpnlgn text this yeur.
Well, the voters are ready ns usual
to prick this last and latest Democratic)
bubble. Let'a have It.
THE CONFUSED DEMOCRACY.
One of the tendencies of the Democ
racy of these times Is to assume al
ways that their countiy Is wrong, that
Its olllclals aie unuoithj and that
whatever is done la improper. Thus,
Representative Gates of Tennessee
made a speech In the House the other
day, telllntc a few of the thing he did
nut know. In point Is this, where he
read of the attack by Moroi on A alg
mil corns detachment of the aimy, In
Mindanao. lie did not know th cause
of tho attack, but said, ' I presume the
signal corps waa Interfering with some
local customs of the natives and the
Moras objected, sword In hand " A
billliant presumption, truly, that had
nut a shreel of nvldence not u woid of
any sort of report, to rest upon. Mr
dates udcleel. "The Mores ubject to the
i Inv eminent or the United State Inter
fiiine with theli customs, they cling
lo thene." lie then reclteil u talk ho
hid with Datlo Mui.dls, where stiong
l.Utlon wits made tj Interference
with thcli custom un I laws, and Mi
' it s Hums to tnlte the position thai
M his hhould i" i I)' liiteifcn'd
i ilni muit in even as tc sluv
in tol tjJaij On this joint he
c hav e had trouble enough

I ni mr doors but we will have a
he i ul un tank on our hands to tn to
et. rmlnate It In the Philippine 11
ands 10 000 mllea awny, among Mo
hammedans " Co that he Is not In favor
c.r Hying. Yet the average Democrat
makes his wall chleily because this
llov eminent doesn t try to do exactl)
what this Democrat of Tennessee savs
the soldiers are blnmeworthy If they
uttempt to do. It s all mighty confusing,
the Democracy Is scattered all over the
lot. Its olce Is In accord on only one
point-that whatever the Republicans
do or propose to do, must be con
demned They are like tho fietful
mother who Issued the command to the
nurse to 'go and Hnd out vvhnt Hobby
Is doing, and bid him stop It at once.
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
The President Is very properly en
forcing silence upon army otllcers on
public iUestlons and public men (Jen
l'unston wns reprimanded for referring
to Senator Hoar as a man with a super
heated conscl"nce. That Is all right;
army officers were getting too free with
their tongues, nnyvvo).
Hut how about the other side the
public men so attacked? l'alrness com
pels the admission that they threw not
only the first brick, but a good mnny
bricks. The license of libelous debate
In the United States Senate has become
a public scandal And now that the
army olllcers have been estopped from
r-ply. It Is getting worse. Senator Du
liols can with Impunity nnd under
the cover of privilege! sneer nt len
Wheaton as "a charity student " Sen
ator Rawlins can accuse flen. Mac-
Arthur of falsehood 111 his explanation
of how it came that so much greater
numbers of I'lllplnos were slain In
battlo than Americans, putting forth
a degraded explanation of his own
ns mori sntlsfactor.v. He can assail
Clen Chaffee nt a "dastnrdly villain,
who had brought dishonor upon the
American mn nnd the American peo
ple. ' This sort of language, under the
circumstances, mikes tho Senntor ns
one who (to use hli own designation
of Presllent Cleveland) lias th" sort of
courage that would lead a man to
throw stonea fiom tho roof of a house
at a crowd In the street. The General
must not criticise the Senator, there
fore the Senator will assail the Clenernl
with billingsgate, the outgiving of
n malicious heart directed b a
Iovert -stricken binln. The mind that
cannot expiess Itself without the use
of such blackguardism is certainly of
a low oicier, inc man w none minei it is.
lacks both breeding and decency. Hut
Senator ltawllna docs not stop at that,
ho nrralgns all the ninccrs In the Philip
pines as lacking In honoi, declaring that
they lire all unfit to bo trusted to In
vestigate tho charges made against a
few of their number. Th it Is, he Is
nfrald the wild Imaginings nnd ex
aggerations of Irresponsible sensation
mongers will not bo fastened upon
those accused olllcers, ns facts, to brand
them as "dastardly Ulalns" Tor
Senntor Rawlins no proof Is needed, .he
assumes that any monstrous charge
against the troops, or against an olllcer.
Is true ns soon as it Is made, and he
will hear to nothing but that the officer
must bo convicted, lie would like to
past formal Judgment himself without
more ndo, nnd proceeds to do it, so far
as his Intelligence can keep pate with
his meanness nnc Insolence.
We denounce the unfnlrness of this
Bumo of words The soldiers nre
gagged, they nre ns men bound Shall
the Senators ent their spleen upon
them, therefore, without redress' What
sort of cownrdly work is It that will
lend n man to strike nnothcr who
stands helpless before him? Uor the
very shamo of manhood, Senators
should icfrnln, and all who nro really
men, will icfraln. It Is dastardly work.
THE RULES IN THE HOUSES.
i:-Senitor Thurston of Nebraska Is
out In a plea for the modification of the
rules of Congress, both In Senato nnd
House Ho urges Hint tho liberty of
debate In tho upper housn Is too grcnt,
that unler tho practice which prevails
In Hint body no niensuie can bo
brought to vote as long as nny Seintor
wishes to discuss It, that this is liable
at nnj tlmo to Imperii the processes of
the CSnv eminent, by some member In
sisting on discussion tint will defeat
the uppropilatlon bills, It Is practically
Impossible to come to a vole on nn
incisure except by unanimous consent,
theie is no limit tn debitc. no previ
ous question, no power In the muJorll
tn expedite business, but tho mlnorlt)
hna equal power nnd can obstrurt
Indeilnltc'lj and defeat nny legislation
tn which It objects. All this Is true,
and Mr Tnurston must be voicing n
reul public sentiment when he says that
the need of a change In this practice
iri generall) lecognlsed If the Senato
would guard against a disaster before
It ha huppened
On the other hand, the House not
only restricts and represses debute, but
frequentls forbids It altogether. When
a bill Is reported, the chairman of the
commlttco In charge of the bill agrees
with the leader of tho opposition oa to
the time that shall be t ikcu for debate
upon It, and these two allow such iiimii
her as the) choose to do the speaking,
no one else Is or can be recognised,
savo by wu oi Intenuptlon or qtieiles
No member can obtain the floor against
the will of tho committees, which al
ways stand together for their privi
leges, so that legislation by the House
Is practlrall) legislation by the com
mlttees of the House Neither can u
member expect to be recognised by the
chair unless he has previously arranged
with the Speaker for such recognition,
and If a member rises and catches the
Speaker's eye, It Is the pi actios for the
Speaker to ask him for what purpose
he desires to be recognised, and If the
pin pose Is not approved by the Speaker,
tho member is ordcied to take his seat
There Is a rower huk of alt this, how
ever, which Is not refeired to by Mr
Thurston thut is tho Committee en
Rules which slfis out the bills thut In
Its Judccment ought In be consldeied,
and fioin whose decision there Is no
appeal. Tho Bpeiaker mav be overruled,
at laic. Intel. uls he Is but the

tice In these matters needs correction
as much as the Senate practice needs
It, but In the opposite dlr-it'on, so that
something like freedom of debate may
be restored and members be accorded
their rightful IndtUd'uil privileges It
Is hard to see that much can be done
In this direction, however, with such
a large membership as the House has
With three hundred and fifty-seven
members, nil statesmen and orators,
all at liberty to claim tho attention of

nnd for any purpose they choose, tho
House would be a bear garden" In
deed; It would be out of the question
tor any business nt all to be don.
The situation fully bears out the con
clusion of Mr. Thurston that whereas
the Senate wns supposed to be the con
servallvo and deliberative body, repre
senting the States us such, and the
Houso th", popular branch, wheie the
people would find their exponents and
forum, tho oaso has been exactly re
versed, for it Is In the House thst the
popular voice Is stringled, and In the
Senate there Is unbridled llbity. It Is
hard to see how there can be any
change, either, unless It be In the re

COLOMBIA'S CANAL PROPOSITIONS.
Th Isthmian Canal commission's
unanimous report In favor of the Pana
ma canal route and the purchase of the
Trench company s holdings there for
110,000,000 was predicated upon the as
sumption that there would bo no dif
ficulty with the Colomblun government
In tho transfer of the franchise or In
the terms which might be exneteel
Half of this assumption Is only paitly
realbed. The Colombian government
eonsentB to the transfer of tho fran
chise, but limits the area covered so iib
to leave out both the Dailen and San
Bins route, which we have seen stated
are both Included In the Trench com
pany's franchise. Colonible exacts a
payment of teven millions ns a first
lump sum, apparently for Its consent
for tho transfer of tho portion of the
franchise (covering but six miles wide),
a pajmont that was not required of tho
Trench companj, and there recms no
reason why It ought to be paid by the
United Stntes. Tor fourteen enis there
Is to be no furth-r pajment, but at the
end of that period there s to be a boaid
of award, which will settle upon an
annual leasehold pa m nt to be mail"
to Colombia by this county. Th
Icaso Is to run In perpetuity, but Co
lombla Is to have equal Judicial rpn-
I ectl tilil. eha l'nll.il Mutes nn that
strip nn arrangement well calculated
to causo uncettalnty and strife, the
nations of the world would not con
tent to have the rights Of their people
as tn property In transit put under the
rontiol of ignorant and venal Judges of
that bastard race It would bo enough
for the Untied States to complete tlt
canal th-ic without paIng seven mil
lion dollars for the prlvllego of doing
so, It would bo task enough to be le
sponslble for the ordcily conduct
of commercial movements without
having to share the Judicial con
trol of those with a half-barbarous
people. The conditions laid
down by Colombia nrc so grotesquely
absurd that It Is probably not worth
whllo to consider the Panama route
any further nt present. S c shall prob
ably have to spend our hundieds of
millions In the building of what must
nlwajs be nn unsatisfactory cnnil
through Nicaragua, for no doubt sim
ilarly wild terms would be exarted by
Colombia nt San lilis or Darlen The
onl prospect for Immediate relief that
we tan see Is to hope for th'j success
of the revolutionists, whose leaders
may be of more sane mind ns to what
ought to be done with respect to these
canal routes
ADMIRAL EVANS AND PRINCE HENRY.
Under tho tltlo "Prince Henrj a

lively artlclo to McClures Magazine for
May, The Admiral was, by the sicclal

tho suite of the Prince whllo he wos In
this country, and as such wns con

tho occasion of the formnl opening of

on this visit he expressed his gratifica
tion that an old ft lend should bo tho

companionable nnd most appreciative
throughout the whde of his visit.
One of the most striking experiences
of the Prince s rounds In this coun

the derm in-American pnit of the popu

nnd advised them to show their quality
by being always zealous and lojnl sup
porters of their adopted country. The
vast crowds that turned out to greet
the visitor cheered lilm most en

Ho did not meet many women, but
among the crowds the women of Mil

the Admiral writes. ! was full) occu
pied with the faces on my side of the
cairlnge. ) t Pilncc Henry kept colling
m) attention to thoe on his side. At
last I warned him that each hid enough
to do watch his own share, and that It
we both tried to see all there were on
both sides of the road, we should soon
be cross-e)cd After that we left each
other alone and )et saw an amislng
number of beautiful faces" This Is a
new fame for Milwaukee; has the old
fame an)thlng to do with It?
The Prince wanted to see the West.
and regietted that his visit was so
timed as to forbid It. Rut Hvans In
vited him to come over at another time
and have a hunt 111 the Western moun
tains It Is to be hoped that he will
accept, and that President Roosevelt
may come along as counselor nnd
friend. If Kvans should steer him to his
old csmplng ground, he will bring him
straight to this city.
To the above we may add n story
told In the Leslies Weekly of April
17th, which Is. "Prince Henry of Prus
sia who was recently the Nations
l,uest. was deeply loved by his father,
the late Hmperor I'rederick. It wns lo
him that the Hmperor wrote on a slip
of paper when he was no longer able
to speak 'You, at least, have never
given me a momenta soirow, and will
mike as good a husband as )OU have
been n lov Ii g son ' Anl after his death
It was learned that the Kmneror had
left the largest portion of. Is fortuno to
his beloved son Henry."
The Senate )csterday adopted the
Teller resolution that Inquiry bo made
Into the charge that the Sugar trust
holds the most of the present cnr's
Cuban sugar crop. The beauty of this
point Is at once apparent when we re
member th-it the plea made for the re
duction of the duty on sugar from Cuba
was to help the Cuban planters If It
shall turn out. ns the charge Is, that
the Sugar trust has the sugar, the
planters would receive no benefit from
such reduction; It would all go to tho
Trust. This Is what The Tribune has
said all along; and we affirm further,
that even If tho Trust has not already
got that BUgar, It can get It whenever
It has the mind, for tho Cuban sugar
planters have no refineries, law sugar
Is marketable only to the Trust, which
will fix the price; nnd this is so not only
this )car, but will be so every )car. Ho
that reciprocity such us the House
Wnys and Means committee proposed,
in fact did nothing for the Cuban sugar
planters, but placed the boot of tho
Trust on their necks, more firmly than
I before. Tho Investigation of the facts
will be followed by tho publlo with
great Interest.
The declaration of Senator McCum
ber of North Dakota In the Senato
jesterday as o the adulteration of
food, Is certainly sensational It ttuc.
He declares that ndultcrnled food pro
ducts amount eurl) to nearly four
bllllcn dollars. If this adulterated food
Is all eaten, It amounts to upward
of 550 a )ear for every man, woman
and child In the United States. Wo
think there must be some mlstako
nbout this, there wouldn't be much left
for the placing of puro food, if so
much adulterated were sold. Rut It Is
a fact that the great bulk of tho
foods used, tho mont, tho Hour, tho
potatoes, tho rice, nre all pure, nnd
necessarily so, any one can see Just
what they nre. The chance for Senator
McCumbars reckoning being true nro
so small as to bnr no nppreclil.Io
lutlo to the Immense figures he useB,
Senator Carmack, In discussing the
Philippine bill, went Senntor ltawllna
one better. Rawlins denounced Hen
Chnffee ns a "dastardly Mllnln who
had brought dishonor upon the Ameri
can rame and the American people "
Carmack suggeMed that Oen l'unston
ought to "feel tho sti angling eluteh
of tho soaped rope " All that Is vu-t
ly edlflng, dignified, and fully vindi
cates the Senate as the greatest fnrum
of free debitc In the world It will
be remembered that the (It nerals as
palled must not repl) All that rc
mnlns Is for some other Senator to
follow the example of the oil ntori,
where a man aald some one he hated
"ought to be kicked to deslh by a
Jackass, and Id like to Le the ono to
do It."
