Dally, per month 9 6.00 2.00 .60 : Washington Bureau, 600 Fourteenth treet, N. W. PHCENIX, FEBRUARY 7. 1899. IT ALWAYS LEADS. Once in a while some envious contemporary tries to discredit The Republican's telegraphic service. We acknowledge that this service is not as complete as that of the New York Herald or the London Times, but when a matter of importance arises readers of The Republican are not kept waiting for the news. This paper has the exclusive franchise in this region for the Associated Press morning dis- . patches, and the agent at Los Angeles has instructions to keep the wire hot when news cf great importance is at hand. That ex plains why The Repviblican 'was the first paper in this region to print the news of the sinking of the Maine. That is why The Re publican had an exclusive story of Dewey's memorable victory in Manila bay. That is why The Republican was on the streets hours ahead of any paper here .- with an account of the sinking of Ccrvcra's fleet. And yester day morning The Republican was the only paper in Arizona to give a complete report of the at tack of the Filipinos on the . 'American forces at Manila. It is true that the 'Los Angele3 Times that arrived yesterday i had a rumor of a convict at Ma nila, but it was accompanied by a statement that no official con firmation of the report had been received. The Republican is proud of its record a3 a purveyor of news. It is proud of the fact that the reading people of this town look to it for the news. It will con tinue at the head of the newspa per procession in this territory, its envious contemporaries to the contrary notwithstanding. DEMOCRATIC DISREGARD RULES. FOR The democratic legislature has e3 taolished a precedent which is apt to plague it before the session ends. The council cn Saturday, through the ruling of a tem porary chairman, decided that a ma jority vote could accomplish what the rules of this and all other parliament any bodies declare can rightfully be ac complished onlv by a two-thirds vote The matter under discussion 'was the concurrent resolution which originates! in the house. providing for sending a telegram of con granulation to Senator-elect Clark of Montana. The ardent free silver men of the council desired to include Senator Stewart of Nevada and in the face of the council rules Mr. Hunt of Gila county, who was temporarily in the chair, damaged his reputation for fairness by jamming it through. The resolution went back 'to the house and yesterday a substitute was offered there by Mr. Adams of Yavapai calling for fulsome telegrams to Clarke and Stewart in which the belief was ex pressed lhat their election would "be of great assistance in correcting the crime of '73 and returning to circula tion gold and silver at a ratio of 16 to 1." In the house the adoption of the resolution finally hinged upon the question whether a two-thirds vote vas indispensable, and the speaker stood in" with the democratic majority, thus permitting the rules to go to smash. It is bad enough to see the rules treated in this way, but worse to think tha if the resolution pass, and i't undoubt edly will, Arizona will come in for fresh ridicule in Washington where Stewart has for many years m'ade him self the laughing stock by his efforts to undo the crime of '73, and where. for the next six years at least neither Clarke nor Stewart nor any o'ther free silverite will have a ghost of a chance to do anything in the line of "19 to 1' by reason of the sound money major i'ty in the senate. The one luminous fact in connection with this resolution th'at the man who 'wrote it and the men who voted for it haven't the faint est conception of the trend of public sentiment. - I rel fro:u the nations cf Europe. (Both arguments are beside the issue. The imperialism now before America may, if she chooses, be that "higher imper ialism" which aims at ruling back ward peoples for their own good. It is possible that the Filipinos may eventually 'be found capable of soma kind of autonomy undeir American tutelage, though the tutelage must at first bo considerable. But to cast them loose would be a deliberate repudia tion of the responsibility- for thpir future which America ha; taken upon herself. The war i.vas begun with a humanitarian aim. In the laudable ef fort to end; it speedily, the Philippiu?s were attacked. New America is left v.rith the archipelago on her hands, and cannot cast it loose. To gain time for consideration is an eminently statesmanlike step. But to refuse to ratify the treaty, to relapse into a stata of war with Spain, and to throw the islands to any conqueror that will care to snatch at them is neither states manlike, nor humanitarian, nor demo cratic The Speaker. WISCONSIN'S NEW SENATOR. QUAKERS WITH THE PRESIDENT. Aguinaldo's motto is, "Give me lib el ty or give me dollars." 'The Montana senatorial election ap pears to have been a battle between two gold standards. ! The sooner General Eagan's remarks are forgotten the better. There should be. no attempt to embalm fehem. It is popularly alluded to as the "Schley-Sampson affair." Mr. Sampson seems fated not to come in first. ''The Spanish treasury is formulating a policy of finance.

The Verdict. .Editor Lewis ha3 a lot to learn of New York politics. Other people can remember several instances of Tam many bolting, including John Kelly's candidacy for governor, after a demo cratic Etaite convention had turned Tammany out and nominated Lucius Robinson for governor. 'Haverford college in Pennsylvania was founded and is maintained by the Society of Friends. It is popularly Known as a Quaker college. Professor Thomas, a member of its faculty, was in Washington last ijveek. The corre- pondent of the Chicago Record asked him about the feeling among the Qua kers on the expansion question. The professor's answer to thi3 ques tion is interesting, and perhaps a lit tle surprising. 'He sa'd: I can speak only of the orthodox Friends. I should say that they are very largely in favor of the president's policy. They will sustain him in any measures he may sidiopt to provide a stable and enlightened government in the captured colonies. Among the Friends in Pennsylvania there are a few who shrink from the responsibil ity of a colonial policy and object to it because it will make necessary the in crease of the army, but the Friends in tno west anrt througaout the country generally feel very much as the presi dent dees that, without any intention or desire on our part, Providence has placed upon us the resjonsibility of civilizing and educating the people of the Philippine islands. They regard it as a national duty which may bring perplexities, embarrassments and ex pense, but which cannot be evaded. If they were to take a vote on the general proposition I should say that they v-ould not favor a permanent occupa tion of the Philippine archipelago bv our government, but they feel that we must stay there and look after those people until they are competent to take charge of themselves. Auditor Tinime Tells Something About His Interesting Career. "The new senator from Wisconsin will be an honor to the state and a credit to the senate," said Auditor Timme of the treasry department to a Star reporter today. -'I have known Mr. Quarles since wj were boys to gether, and am thoroughly conversant with his career, public and private. lie will take rank at once with the foremost orators of the senate, for he is known throughout the northwest as an able speaker. He is a man of fino personal appearance, polished manner. and is highly cultivated intellectually. "'Mr. Quarles is not a rich man, nor a creature of corporations, and in that respect his election to the senate was a tribute to !his popularity, coming as a verdict from the people in his favor. It was not until last August that he decided to become a candidate. 'He was raised among the people who sent him to the senate. He taught school as a young man at Kenosha to obtain money to go to Ann Arbor to college, and was at college when the war broke out. He went to war as a lieutenant in the Thirty-ninth Wiscon sin, and came out a captain. He went back to college, finished his education and then took a law course. He then returned to Kenosha to practice, and was a partner of the famous Orson S. Head. Subsequently his practice grew so large he removed to Milwaukee. "Mr. Quarles was elected district at torney, mayor, assemi'ulyiman and then state senator, and while in the senate received a complimentary vote for United States senator in the contest between Matt. Carpenter and Keyes." Washington Star. there i.-s abundant emp-oyment for la bor. "There are," says President Search, "evidences of activity and signs of prosperity on every hand, and the conditions whicli now present themselves form a contrast as pleas ing as it is striking in comparison with the state of affairs t'.vo or three years ago. We have holy writ for it that there are some things so plain that "a wayfaring man, though a fool, may run and read," and the good times cf the present day would seem to be one of these things. Baltimore Herald. PLAIN SPEECH FROM MTLTC3. Never before in the history of our wars has the army been refused fresh beef delivered on foot. Under Sher man, Grant, andi Sheridan cattle were delivered at the front and were driven along with the army, to be slaughtered frcm day to day, at the points where fresh beef was needed for food. . The embalmed beef for our army in this Spanish war, and said to be an ex periment, was never heard of before in any war or any country. The ordinary beef sold for home con sumption is not always so treated, ex cept when the packing house finds a large supply on hand that can be kept. . But the beef sent to our soldiers was loaded and saturated with chemi cals various acids which made them sick, filled the men's systems with poi son, unfitting them for lighting or campaign work. Those who were in camp relieved of the hardships and ex posures of marching under the tropical sun suffered even more than the men in the field. Half a million pounds of this beef came in on ship to (Porto Rico. The soldiers were fifty miles awav in th mountains. The beef was so !bad that i would have caused a psstilence had It been taken ashore from the ship. So it had to- be thro'.vn overboard What else could be dene with it? Noth ing alive could eat it.

The London Daily News Intimates that, in all .probability, England wiil abrogate the Clayton-Buiwer treaty if the United States desires to build tha Nicaragua canal. We have no doubt that this reflects English sentiment. Fifty years ago, when the treaty was signed, conditions were materially dif ferent and the relat.ons between the two countries rested upon feelings very different from those now prevailing. Then the relations were amicable, but there was no love between the two great Anglo-Saxon nations. Each feared to give the other any advantage no matter how small, and each feared that a conflict would come sooner or later. Now, however, both are well aware of the fact that an Anglo-Saxon alliance in sentiment is an accom plished fact, and of wonderful power as a peace factor, as other nations have no desire to meet .the team in a trial of strength. Under these circumstances, what benefits one benefits the other, and England will, without doubt, be per fectly willing to allow the United States to 'build, own, control, and op erate the canal if it passes through Nicaragua. This, of course, she could not do with the treaty in force, which provides that neither England nor America should exercise control over it when built. It 'would appsar that if nothing stands in the way but the ab rogation cf the treaty, the canal is all but an accomplished fact. Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette. Cuban General Diaz does not wish to hire any of his soldiers to the Ameri can department governor, insisting that the United States "should not in terpose a labor scheme as a substitute for the just demands of the Cuban sol fliers tor pay. Or course! It is per fectly plain.- Having done for the Cu bans what they were unable to do for themselves, the next thing we should do is to pay them for it. Louisville Courier-Journal. Tne senate by a majority of three has ratified the treaty of Paris and to ail intents ana purposes it is now effective. It is a pity that ratification should have been so long deferred. Had the treaty been acted up;n within a short time after its presentation to the senate the situation in tli3 Philip pines undoubtedly would be much more reassuring. The insurgsnts have been afforded time to procure arms and to perfect their organization and on the eve of ratification they struck a blow which can result in nothing less than their subjugation. It was the policy of the administration to demonstrate that the cession of the archipelago to the United States would be helpful to all the inhabitants. The attack of the Filipinos upon the Amer ican troops unquestionably saved the treaty. Now the government will te obliged to apply the iron hand, and th; harder the better for all concerned if we understand the situation correctly. If General Otis can manage to get hold of Aguinaldo you will ses the insur gent movement go to pieces in short order. DELAY, NOT RETREAT. We cannot wonder that the presi dent has attempted to postpone the Philippine settlement until the le gal question can be examined and the position in the islands investigated. The commission appointed is a strong one, and its services in the islands are likely to be prolonged. But at the same time we trust the senate will not shrink from its r?spcnsibilitie3. We do not ourselves feel much sympathy with the Filipinos, who have shown no signs as yet of capacity for self government. But were the treaty not ratmed they 'would t2 cast loose, to be absorbed after a period of civil war by some continental power, under whom their liberties would be infinite ly less than unisr American rule.

John Allen of Mississippi, the hu morist of the house, declares that the late Mr. Dingley was devoid of humor. One day, while on his way to the capi- tol, Mr. Allen stopped in front of a well known book store and proceeded to take a mental inventory of the con tents of the window. Mr. Dingley came along, and, noticing Mr. Allen, stopped to speak to him. 'Oh, Mr. Dingley," said Mr. Allen. 'I am glad to see you. Do you knew I was just thinking about you? We were informed that after the passage of your tariff bill there would be im mense prosperity, and tha'. prices would go up. Instead I notice in this store that there has teen a cut of 80 per cent. That does not look very much like prosperity, does it, Mr. Dingley?" There must be some mistake. Mr. Allen," said Mr. Dingley. "A reduc tion of 80 per cent? Why, that is im possible!" "Fact, I assure you," said Mr. Allen. tiying hard to look as serious as Mr. Dingley. "Just lock at that picture of Mr. Cleveland. I used to have to nay 50 cents apiece for them and now they are marked down to 10 cents." "But, Mr. Allen, that is because he has retired, 3rou know. My tariff ibill had really nothing to do with it. I can assure you," was Mr. Dingley's re sponse. Chicago Record. . GLOBE SIGHTS. . (From the Atchison Globe. A sick old person is harder to man age than a sick child.

'An optimist is a married man who would do it over again. When a woman goes fishing she'd rather catch three tadpoles than one trcut. The more people study marriage the less stock they are likely to take in future punishment. Broad-toed shoes and loose lacing don't mean that there's not lots of baby ribbon where you can't see it. No man living can get alcng with a woman unless he deserves to get scold ings, and he can't get along with her if he takes them.
