General Harrison's View*.
General Harii.-on's Interview is in his best
Hit. anil it ouijht to prove a strong: cam
>aign document. hlspecialiy in Indiana.
The republican managers in that state haw
? ?und the legislation for Porto Rico their
^tumbling hlock. A great many members
'f the party there'have been in agreement
vilh General Harrison as to that. They
promptly objected, as he did. to the taxa
lon feature of that measure, and they
? till hold that it was unwise. Nor was this
. iew confined to Indiana. It was shared
>y many republicans in other states, as
?veil as by others, who on general lines of
national poli. y were friendly to the admin
-dration. Congress erred in that matter.
ir:d there need be no hesitation on the j
?art of anybody who holds to that view
ibout expressing it, as General Harrison i
toes. at this time.
Hut. its iJeneral Harrison points out, that i
?rror does not cancel the administration's I
?la'ms to indorsement. It is of small con- !
lequence In comparison with the achieve- j
aunts of the administration in other dlrec- !
ions, and with what it stands for in this
?ampaign. It would be folly, indeed, rising '
o the proportions of a crime, for the re- 1
? 11 blican>> and i;idej?endents who favor free j
rade with Porto Kico to help turn the j
? ?untry's affairs over to Mr. Bryan, who j
Hands for [wilieies which would inflict in- !
alculable injury on the United States, j
Vnd. anyhow, the tariff imposed upon Por- ;
o H;co expires next year, and the Supreme
Vjurf is soon to pass upon the constitu
onal question involved. So that the re
tubllcans of Indiana, who indorse sound
money. protection, and expansion, ought to
ind no difficulty in throwing their votes
nrtidly for :hoe?e policies next month.
M is strange that ^there should be critl
?ism in any quarter of an expression by
in ex-Pres;dent of the I'nlted States on
he political issues of the day. What man '
n the country is better fitted to speak on j
he subject? What man should feel a
greater interest In the affairs of the coun- j
ry? His own experience in the country's j
lighest office has given him opportunities
or forming sound judgments about public j
Itiestions; and when the people are divided '
ind are seekinp light they have a right to
ink to the highest sources for guidance !
ind suggestions. General Harrison there- i
ore has performed not only a party but a '
?atrlotlc duty in responding at this time to !
he request for his opinion its to how men
hould vote next month. Had he withheld j
lis opinion in the circumstances he would
lave been remiss in one of the plainest
luties of good citizenship.
The Taft ? uinmlaalon'ii IMaii.
Elsewhere today appears a statement. \
aken from the Manila Freedom, of the
nanner in which the Taft commission in
ends to proceed with its work of instituting
government in the Philippines. It will be
teen from this statement that the process
ontemplated is calculated to engraft Anier
?an ideas at the base of the native institu
?ons. The experiment will be first tried of
placing the natives in responsible positions
n the municipalities Those who succeed
n such places of trust and responsibility i
*ill be given charge of provincial affairs,
tccording to their merit. Eventually. It Is
?lear. there will be educated a body of na
ives competent to undertake oven insular
lanauement on the lines of American gov
rnment. There are two desirable ends to .
?e served by this method. Not only are the j
latives tested in their minor responsibilities
it first, but they are brought Immediately
nto contact with the benefits of progressive
ule They are taught the meaning of in- '
livldual liiwrty checked by consideration
? or the w-elfare of the whole community.
The laws of life and property are thereby
given force and meaning to large bodies.
The Filipinos are bright people, as the in- I
nabitants of the south seas g*>. They are !
apable of learning new ways, if thoje ways
are suggested to them In terms which they
can understand. It is not to be doubted
that after a season of native municipal rule
the inhabitants of the archipelego will ap- '
predate the advantages of American sov
ereignty thoroughly. The Taft commls- !
slon, composed of able, energetic men. is j
iayin* the foundations for the future hap
piriess <,f these people by thus starting ra- )
tionally with the fundamentals of self-gov- ]
?rnin?-nt iutrnd of trying the rash experi
ment of placing natives in control of large j
ireas at the outset of the new regime, j
Such operations are necessarily slow in de- 1
? elopment and if the start is made as thus !
lescrlbed there is little danger of thrusting
ihe natives into responsibilities for which
hey ire not prepared.
This extract from the Manila newspaper
nakes instructive reading Just now. in view j
?f Mr Hryan s sweeping assertion that the
administration has no plan regarding the j
ioverriment .if the Filipinos.
It is not for a moment to be supposed
that Bourke Cockran did not really lose
iiis voice and that he was merely tired of
repeating the few arguments in favor of
Bryanism which his principles as a gold
standard man Would permit him to employ.
Now Mrs Corbett and Mrs. McCoy do not
speak, and it is feared that the next en
? ounter in pugilistic circles will need an ex
>ert fashion writer to describe the damage
lone to millinery in the successive rounds.
'1 be Heed Hulr* Threatened f
In an address before the Commercial
Men's Anti-Trust l?eague in New York on
Tuesday ex-Congressman McAdoo said:
"Even if the Constitution does not follow
she tlaK- Congress has the right to send the
Constitution where the flag has gone. If
{ ongress has not done this, then 1 may ask
>ne question. Who owns Congress?' "
"Ha.ru.a!" shouted some one in the au
llence.
"l?ebate is at this date almost extinct, and
free thought has been quashed in Con
gress." >on tin tied Mr. McAdoo. "The mem
!e*rs are mere automatons, and Congress
itself is only a cash register to gauge the
revenues and expenditures of the coun
try
Here Is a new Issue suggested. Will
democratic success at the polls next month
mean a revision of the rules of the House
at Representatives? Will it mean a return
to the old order of things before Thomas
R. Reed, with a capable and resolute hand,
lhaped matters so that the House could do
business In a business-like way? Will the
fillbusterer be again enthroned as the mas
ter of that body? Will It again be (>ossible
for one man to tie the House Into a hard
knot whenever the spirit of obstruction
moves him? Shall we turn from what Mr.
McAdoo calls the "cash register" system
i>ack to the endless gabble system?
Ah, those old days, when the Houte was
unable to do business except practically by
unanimous consent! wnen, in what by cour
tesy was called "debate." hours of valua
ble daylight were consumed every week!
When the "debater" was a power, and the
man of business nowhere! And how swiftly
and completely did Mr. Reed, after taking
the chair, reduce the situation to order and
Intelligence! How he clipped the wings of
the "debater!" How completely he elimi
nated the obstructionist from the equation!
Aik! how thoroughly in time was hia work
approved by even the men who at the out
set hail bitterly opposed it! For when Judge
Crisp came to the chair he retained all the
best and strongest features of Mr. Reed's
reforms. And the rules thus revised proved
as helpful to the transaction of business
under democratic as under republican ad
ministration.
Hut does Mr. McAdoo voice any wide
spr?ad democratic disaffection on this sub
ject now? Is it the desire of the democratic
leaders to return to the good old days? Has |
the party prograin*been extended? In ad
dition to free and unlimited coinage of sil
ver, free trade and free riot, are we to i
have again free and unlimited "debate" in
the House? Is Reedism to be coupled with
McKinleyism. and if one is knocked out
shall the other be also? Mr. Reed seems not
to be interested in the situation so far as
his party and Mr. McKinley are concerned,
but maybe if his own work becomes in
volved he will take a hand. He takes a
keen interest always in number one.

Sir Tlinniita l.lpton'w Second t'hallen*'
American yachtsmen were very generally
satisfied, after the races for the America
cup had been sailed in lSW.that Sir Thomas
Ltiptoii, the challenger, would soon again
make his appearance in these waters in the
same capacity. He had shown such a
sportsmanlike disposition throughout the
disappointments which he encountered as
to both weather and results, that there
were few doubts that he would try at least
once more to "lift the cup." It is now an
nounced that he has filed a challenge, which
is due in New York today and will neces- I
sarily be promptly accepted. The details of
the proposed contest are as yet only vague
ly known. A new challenger will be built,
bearing the same name as the latest one,
the Shamrock. The races will be sailed
probably in August, to avoid the fogs of
September. All the arrangements are. of
course, held in abeyance until the challenge
has been formally accepted. There is but
little likelihood of friction over the pro
gram. Sir Thomas was most generous in j
his view of the crowding of the yachts,
kept at a minimum last year by the thor
ough policing of the course. Indeed, his
frank acceptance of the inevitable conges
tion of the racing waters doubtless secured
for him unusual consideration on the part
of the excursion boat managers. He made
himself popular and will be welcomed back
with enthusiastic good will.
The defending yacht may prove to be the
same as that which so ably met the chal
lenger a year ago, or she may be a new
creation, to match the new Upton boat.
That is a matter for the cup committee on
this side to consider. The margin between
the two yachts last year was clearly proved
in the two races actually sailed, Colum
bia winning the first one by 11 minutes and
11 seconds and the last one by 5 min
utes. The intermediate race, it will be re
called, was awarded to Columbia as a result
of the accident to Shamrock's rigging.
It is now a question for the American de
fenders to consider whether Columbia can
be relied upon to hold this margin good
against such improvements as the chal
lenger may make in the light of last year's
experiences. The generosity with which the
leading yachtsmen of the country have ex
pended money on the construction of de
fenders in the past warrants the belief that
there will be a new yacht for 100:). It is not,
however, to be expected that there will be
any radical departures from the styles
which have prevailed for several seasons.
Danger Signals at Spranton.
The outlook for a peaceful settlement of
the coal strike has darkened since yester
day. The Star'." staff correspondent wires
that President Mitchell, who has recently
shown signs of favoring acceptance of the
operators' offers, has lost control of the men ;
at.d is being carried along by a tide of
radicalism which may cause tomorrow's j
convention to reject the proposal* and make
impossible demands of the mine owners, j
The present prospect therefore is for a con- '
tinuance of the strike, with grave proba- j
bihtiejj of bloodshed. The miners are arm
ing and if the operators attempt to start
the mines, as they now declare, there Is al
most certain strife ahead.
Mitchell's predicament, if he is sincerely
anxious that the miners accept the ad
\ance offered them, is not exceptional. He
has let loose a strong force which, if not
controlled by a conservative hand, may
cause anarchy In the anthracite region. He
has persuaded many a miner to leave his
work who otherwise would have gladly re
mained in the mines. He caused the Markle
men to break their contract with their em
ployers. The men cannot be held account
able for accepting the words of their leader
and acting upon them in the light of their
prejudices. s*> carefully fostered. They have
been taught that It is wrong for men to
work while other men want to strike. They
seem sincere in the belief that they have
the right to coerce non-strikers to abandon
the diggings. The result Is awaited with
grave anxiety.
A Proponed Coal CoimuiiierH* l alon.
A correspondent suggests today the advis
ability of forming among the coal consum
ers of this city a union or association simi
lar to that which was recently organized
among the telephone subscribers, to protect
themselves against exorbitant charges.
There are evident difficulties in the way
of an effective organization along these
lines. The field is unlimited, practically
every householder in the District being a
coal consumer. The coal supply Is at pres
ent controlled by a closely regulated or
ganization of dealers. Kven with perfect
co-operation among the consumers it is ap
parent that it would require the employ
ment of agencies not now available to force
dealers to yield in their demands When cir
cumstances permit an increase in the price.
The Star's correspondent suggests that as
a last resort the people could buy their coai
direct and charge themselves for it only
cost price. This would require elaborate
organization. Ordinarily It would hardly
be worth while, but if the coal users are to
t>e mulcted at every flurry in the market or
upon every labor agitation In the coal fields,
with no more reason than appears today, a
resort to some such remedy would be not at
all Improbable.

Kxperiments with an airship are being

No Boston gentleman has yet suggested
that It would be only common humanity
to hold the election a few weeks earlier so
as not to keep Aguinaldo In this fearful
suspense.
Kentucky and Maryland.
If sound money wins in Kentucky and
Maryland this year, as It did in 1NSMJ, the
result will largely be due. as it was then,
to the activity of the business men of the
two commonwealths, and particularly of
the cities of Louisville and Baltimore. The
two campaigns show the greatest energy,
and republican prospects In both states are
looking up.
The metropolis of Kentucky Is a wide
awake city, and the census Just completed
gives it a tine rating of growth. Its bank
ers and merchants and manufacturers are
men of attainments and enterprise, and
they have always enjoyed the highest cred
"? The majority of them are democrats,
but when populism swallowed democracy
at Chicago four years ago and urged a
debased currency on the country they left
their old associations and voted -with the
republicans. Their city has had Its full
share of the prosperity that has marked
the McKinley administration, and as a
debased currency is still Mr. Bryan's pet
scheme they are as stoutly today as in
1M*S opposed to him and his doctrines.
They will again in large numbers vote for
policies which they have seen tried with
success, and which they do not believe
could be changed except to the country's
serious loss and embarrassment.
The metropolis of Maryland is not only
one of the most prosperous, but one of the
most beautiful of American cities. The
latest census has also been kind to it. The
figures, indeed, are highly gratifying to its
friends in every section of the country.
Its business interests of every description,
as in the case of its sister city of Ken
tucky, are in the hands of men of high
standing and credit, the majority of whom
have always been democrats, but none of
whom, democrat or republican, can view
the Bryanite program but with the great
est apprehension. Free silver would, as
they belleva, inflict an appalling loss upon
the whole business world; and self-interest
dictates, as does also their duty as citi
zens of the common country, that they give
their suffrages In favor of the continuation
of the sound policies which have brought
so much of substantial benefit to all.
As The Star has from the first Insisted,
this is a campaign in which the business
interests are most vitally concerned. Im
perialism and militarism are bogies, with
out the slightest Influence on men of busi
ness. But sound money is something that
every business man understands the value
and need of; and Mr. Bryan, as these men
of Kentucky and Maryland well know, is
more distinctly committed to Its overthrow
than to any other policy for which he
stands.
Andrew Carnegie has not felt called upon
to retract the assertion that a man who
dies rich dies disgraced. And he continues
to accumulate wealth with a fortitude
which indicates his belief, to which will be
added a universal public hope, that he has
before him many years in which to achieve
poverty.

The Memorial llrldKC.
From tin* Baltimore News.
The Washington Star is hopeful that the
coming Congress will make such appropria
tion as Is necessary for the consummation
of the plan for an artistic bridge to span
the Potomac river as a permanent memo
rial of the centenary of the national capital,
which is to be celebrated shortly after the
opening of Congress in December, il be
lieves that many leaders in both the House
and Senate are favorable to the proposition,
and it is certain that the wishes of the
people will be respected. Designs have been
submitted for a bridge that will adequately
express the practical needs and artistic re
quirements of the work. The Star's appeal
to the pride of the people of Washington in
their city should meet with a hearty re
sponse. The celebration of the centenary of
the city will go far toward arousing fresh
interest in the project of the memorial
bridge. The erection of this permanent
memorial would be a crowning act of the
centennial year and add another valued fea
ture to the monumental works of art and
architecture that make the national capital
at present the object of a Just national
pride.
Criminal Akkd'xhIoii.
From the Milwaukee Wii>conslu.
Candidate Bryan asks the American peo
ple to believe that the American volunteers
in the Philippines committed "criminal ag
gression" when they defended themselves
and the law-abiding inhabitants of the
island* from the attacks of armed banditti,
though the American volunteers were act
ing under the orders of their superior of
ficers. and the latter were carrying out
the agreement of the treaty with Spain by
which the United States had undertaken to
preserve order* in the Philippines?a treaty
whose ratification was brought about in
part by the active exertions of Candidate
Bryan.
That tSndlesM Chain 1'rayer Scheme.
From the Louiavllle Courier-Journal.
Notwithstanding the success claimed by
the originators of the endless chain prayer
scheme to beat McKinley, it would not be
safe for the democrats to depend wholly on
this and neglect to get together a few dol
lars to defray necessary expenses. And
there is, of course, all the more reason not
to put too much faith In the prayer chain,
now that England has Joined In It.
