>lr. Ilabcoclt'a Tariff I?etter.
Representative Babcock's letter on the
subject of tariff revision, which appears
in print today, is altogether worthy of
perusal at d is likely to command atten
tion. It may be more properly described as
retracting than explaining the tariff bill he
Introduced in Congress last winter. He
admits now that the measure was crudely
drawn, but he adds very pertinently and
forcibly that It Is for the ways and means
committee of the House to put all such
measures Into the proper shape, and he in
vites such action on the part of that com
mittee of the next House on the question
as he will present It then. This Is fair no
tice. and the member from Wisconsin may
rest assured that he will have support In
his effort to correct some existing tariff
abuses.
Mr. Babcock's present statement of the
policy of protection is sound. That policy
was adopted for the purpose of making the
United States a manufacturing nation and
independent, within the sphere of Its en
deavor?, of other nations That purpose In
a liberal measure has been accomplished.
There are industries which have so pros
pered that they are not only supplying the
home market but are selling their surplus
abroad at a lower rate than their foreign
rivals'can afford. Why then should such
industries longer enjoy the benefit of pro
tection? Why vote support to giants so
very well able to take care of themselves?
Clearly, protection has done Its work so far
as they are concerned.
As for such industries, new or old. as
may still need a helping hand, such help
should still be held out to them. They are
still within the fostering design of the
American policy, and legitimate objects of
public encouragement. The hope Is that
they too may come in time to proportions
of giant strength and Independence; and
when they shall have reached that growth,
what reason will there be for protecting
any longer their outputs as against the
foreign competition which they have mas
tered In the markets of the world?
Mr. Babcock points out that our tariff
schedules have been affected by the phe
nomenal Increase In our productions and
sales within the past few years. The Ding
Icy law aided In putting us on our feet
again, and since then we have made such
progress as now Justifies a recast of some
of the provisions of that measure. And
why should they not be made by the party
which drafted the measure, and still stands
without qualification for the principle upon
which It rests? What alarm could the
business Interests take with the tariff un
der limited revision at the hands of those
who are the bulwarks of the protection
policy?

"A Lseleaa Oath."
It is now announced that the oath of alle
giance to be taken by judges in the Philip
pines will differ In one important feature
from the American oath of allegiance. All
officials of the Vnlted States are required
to swear to support the Constitution of the
United States. This feature will be omit
ted from the oath of allegiance as adminis
tered to officials of the Philippines. Natu
rally. If the officials were required to
swear allegiance to the Constitution, they
would be bound by their oath to interfere
with slavery.?Boston Advertiser.
The Advertiser, like our local morning co
temporary and several papers In other
cities which have Indulged In similar com
ments. forgets both the Constitution and
the recent decision of the Supreme Court.
Eight Supreme Court Justices out of nine
decided that the Constitution followed the
flag to the Philippines. Whether the
Philippines are within or without the
United States the (Constitution forbids
slavery to exist there The thirteenth
amendment prohibits slavery both in the
I'nlted States and "In any place subject to
their jurisdiction;" and no one but the
misguided newspapers in question has ever
Imagined and seriously presented any
theory of the relation of the Bouthem
Philippines to the United States which re
moves those islands from the scope of ap
plication of the constitutional denuncia
tion against slavery- With or without the
official oath to support the Constitution and
whether or not the Philippines are within
the United States, every American here or
in the Philippines and every foot of ground
subject to American Jurisdiction are af
fected by the constitutional ban laid upon
slavery.

Thrw years ago the Marquis de Chasse

known how Mr. Maclay stood in the con
test.

The South and the Presidency.
The suggestion that the democratic party
go south for Its presidential candidate In
l'.HM has met with l?ss of serious comment
in that section than in any other part of
the country. Some of the newspapers
down there have cpenly made fun of it,
while as able a Journal as the Nashville
American treats it in this vein:
"We should ilke to be able to give a
genuine southern yell in behalf of a real
old-fashioned, hard-spun, double-and-twist
ed democratic nominee for President with
out the taint of lunacy or the suggestion
of populistic foolishness In his make-up.
But it's no use. We've got to wait."
Now, as a matter of fact, making Bry
axiism the tent, there are a number of
democratic leaders in the south who pos
sess no "taint of lunacy," or of "popu
l>tic foolishness. ' They supported Mr.
Bryan In his races for the presidency for
the same reason that many eastern demo
cratic leaders did. Their sole thought was
that of party regularity. They were not
believers in free silver coinage, nor in free
riot, nor in the policy of scuttle as applied
to the Philippines. They reluctantly obeyed
the voice of the majority as expressed in
national convention, and not unlikely with
the idea and in the hope that success at
the polls was out of the question.
Turning then to those who had the cour
age openly to repudiate Bryanlsm, we find
southern leaders of as high quality as any
of their eastern brethren who took the same
course. The Star named a few of them
only the other day. Judge Gray of Dela
ware. Judge Lindsay of Kentucky, Mr.
Caffery of Louisiana and Henrjr J. Turner
of Georgia are all men of ability and ex
perience in the conduct of public business.
They compare most favorably with those
democratic leaders In the east who turned
away from their party when it cham
pioned politics which their judgment con
demned.
But of course the south will not fur
nish the democracy with its candidate In
HH>4. She does not lack the material, but
she has effaced herself from the calcula
tion. She seems to be content with the
role she long has filled. She will go to
the next national convention, as she has
gone to others, asking nothing for herself.
The voices of New York and Indiana will
count fur far more than hers in the selec
tion of the standard-bearer. It will be
assumed that she will support anybody
whose strength In the debatable states Is
guaranteed. And so the candidate will be
named, and the south will return home to
put her elections machinery in order for
the fray. It is a small role for a large
section to play in party affairs, and It is
in painful contrast with the role the south
once played. But time and Tammany Hall
have demoralized the south In national
matters, and she will be slow to awaken to
her former dignity and power.
Train Robbers.
Our vaunted civilization can find nothing
to boast of In the latest display of activity
on the part of train robbers, who have
ventured to hold up an express close to
the city of Chicago. As long aa these epi
s?ode3 occur in the reaches of the west,
where many miles intervene between t?ta
! tions and habitations are few and scatter
i ed, ther9 is some warrant for regarding
them as frontier incidents, liable to re
duction by the march of settlement and
civilization. But here ia a desperate at
tempt to rob a train close to the very cen
ter of population. It failed only because
of the unusual arrangement of the train
and the impatience of the desperadoes.
The ease with which railroad trains are
stopped and looted by small gangs of men
reveals the delicacy of the organization
which governs the transportation business.
A watchful engineer will check his train
upon the first signal of possible danger.
His responsibilities are too heavy to per
mit him to trifle with the lives he is con
ducting across country at high speed. A
bonfire on the track, as in this latest case,
or a red lantern swung by a masked man
will cause the great mechanism to be still
ed and to remain at the mercy of three or
four criminals.
It is apparent that the arming of express
messengers will not suffice to guard
against these road agents. The place for
men with weapons is clearly In the cab of
the locomotive, or on the tender. Many
of these hold-upa are managed by men
crawling over the coal from the couplings
between the tender and the first baggage
car. It would pay railroad companies
whose lines run into the Infested districts
to guard more strictly at this point. The
losses to the express companies are serious
in themselves, but not so demoralizing as
the constant demonstration of the power
of a few men to interrupt traffic at will
and to endanger lives by the checking of
passenger trains without taking the usual
precautions to prevent rear-end collisions.
It is easy to declare that the laws pun
ishing train-robbery should be made more
sever?. The mere writing of paper penal
ties will have no effect until the offenders
are captured. One or two sweeping hauls
by the authorities, followed by swift trial
and the extreme punishment, would greatly
discourage the industry, which is thus
creeping eastward. But the robbers must
first be caught, and there's the rub.
? # ? ?
The Great Gold Balance.
There is special reason for gratification
la the statement of the enormous gold bal
ance in the treasury, aside from the as
surance it affords that the government is
far removed from the possibility of a strin
gency such as aid<?d in the precipitation of
1 the panic of 18?3. This great flood of the
yellow metal demonstrates, first of all,
that the pessimistic forecast of the silver
ites of five and six years ago that there
would turn out to be not enough gold to
maintain it as a safe and reliable single
standard is untrue. Wheat and silver
parted company long ago and there is to
day no promise of a failure of the gold
supply which will menace the stability of
the country's currency system.
Again, this showing proves the continued
prosperity of the American people. Gold
flows into the public coffers because there
Is a great abundance of money in circula
tion. There is no stringency in any line
and credit is high. Foreign balances are
in our favor and there is no drain toward
the east. The trade situation is thus clearly
reflected in the shining mass of gold piled
up in the public vaults, forming a bed-rock
foundation not only for the pdblic credit,
tmt also for the commercial enterprise of
the country.
It Is also particularly pleasant to reflect
that the larger proportion of this gold has
come from American mines. The develop
ment of the Alaskan fields was In Itself a
serious blow to the silverite claims of a
scarcity of the yellow metal. Within the
past few years, too, has come the cyanide
process of gold reduction, which has per
mitted the working of low-grade ores for
merly discarded as not worth the cost of
mining. Colorado is enjoying a remarkable
prosperity In consequence of these enter
prises and the consequent output of gold
is steadily growing. It was only the other
day that Mr. Towne admitted in an inter
view that gold is no longer to be consid
ered as too rare a metal for a safe basis
for a national currency system.

is to slap at every mosquito that comes

as yet no society for the protection of the

I urest in South America.
A season of unrest has opened In 8011th
America. Venezuela has been stirred by
a new revolution snd Colombia is In the
same predicament, the latter being also
worried by a possible complication with
Germany about the Murillo incident. The
Venezuelan revolution is at present but a
small affair, probably not of sufficient size
in Itself to give President Castro serious
concern. The insurrectionary force of
5.000 is absurdly small In comparison with
the resources of the government at Cara
cas, while the leader is not a man of te
nown or even of military experience. Un
less it Is designedly so organized to cover
the movements ot a more resourceful and
capable revolutionist this affair is not
likely to cause much mora than a ripple in
Venezuelan affairs. But political osodl
Hons in that country are never more than
temporarily quiescent. The revolutionary
material available for an uprising Is ex
ceptionally abundant. Castro has man
aged to hold the malcontents down strongly
for some months, and has so concentrated
power In his own ltands that he Is doubt
less more secure in his position than the
average of his predecessors of recent
years. But it is not to be thought. In
view of all the traditions of Venezuelan
unrest, that he can continue much longer
without a serious assault upon his power,
particularly if reports from Venezuela of
late regarding his harshness of adminis
tration are In any degree true.
The Colombian revolt has not as yet de
veloped sufficient deflniteness to warrant
an estimate of its probable result. Uribe
is well known as a chronic revolutionist
and has a considerable prestige in his own
country. The action of the Colombian au
thorities in trespassing upon a German
merchantman to secure Murillo, who is
only a civilian aid to Uribe, suggests that
there is serious apprehension at Bogota to
Justify the taking of chances in this fash
Ion. There is an intimation that the rela
tions of Colombia and Venezuela are
strained and that there may be some con
nection between these two revolutionary
enterprises, one in each country, and the
mutual jealousy of the government*.
Nobody doubted that there was a string
attached to Mr. Bryan's statement that he
was a candidate for no office. The end of
the cord begins to peep out of the Na
biaskan's pocket. He says that while he
Is not a candidate now he will not give
bond not to become one.
In the interest of the esthetic outlook it
is to be hoped that the horse owners of

their beasts when it rains. The straw

Rights of the Called States.
From tlw SarauMb N??ri.
It having been established that the Ital
ians lynched In Mississippi recently were
not naturalized Americans, but remained
subjects of the King of ltsJy, the Italian
government will make a demand for In
demnity and the punishment of the lynch
ers. Our general government will prob
ably pay the indemnity, as it did in the
case of the lynching in New Orleans sev
eral years ago. but it can do nothing In
the way of punishing the murderers. That
Is a matter solely within the province of
the state of Mississippi. It seems that in
such cases, where the general government
is called upon to pay Indemnities for in
juries or death inflicted upon foreigners, it
ought to have some voice in detecting and
