'M iron pirns TUESDAY, MAY 20, 1902. .&.F1. J. PUBliSH?"?. W.R.MBAB, SDITOB. Oiilciai Paper of County. THE PHILIPINOS. Why Not Try tho National Ownership Care on Them? It Would .Give Hotter Results Than the Water Core. There is no doubt that the United States form of government, honestly applied, will do more foi the Philip pine Islands than could possibly be done by a mixture of Chinese and Spanish intelligence. There is no doubt, either, that at this moment the United States Gov ernmen is hated, and justy hated, by every patriotic Jman and woman in our new Eastern possessions. A brave Filipino, who knows that the telling of secrets will result in the murder of his friends, is pumped full of water repeatedly till he almost bursts. lie is finally killed by slow torture and the village which he in habits is burned. This worK is done by American soldiers. Thanks to the energy of the teetot alers and the cowardice of the ofllce holdlng class, the canteen is abolished in the American army, and the Ameri can soldier in the Philippines gets horribly and dangerously drunk on native concoctions. One man, well known to this writer, left the Philippine Islands, and four officers high in rank wefre at the pier. Of the four, three were very drunk and one was moderately drunk. Is it to be wondered at that the sight of drunken soldiers and officers burning villages, murdering men, dis courages the natives and makes them just a little suspicious of American rule? You must remember that in the Philippines we are not fighting against a few people, but against the entire population of the entire country. They could all have been imade our friends. They hate us, and for the best of reasons. We are spending tens of millions on the water cure and on the mainten ance of a half-disciplined army located among helpless people, licensed to kill and torture. Under these conditions the problem on hand seems to be: How long will it take to .kill oil from eight to twelve millions of people? Would it not have been better to spend all that money in another way: At present, behind our army of sol diers there marches an army of carpet baggers, who have received from their government presents of franchises which they propose to utilize in ex ploiting as many of the Filipinos as are not killed. Suppose, as Mr. Bird S. Coler sug gested in a recent speech, that we had used our money to build railroads, telegraphs, telephones, public schools, roads and harbors, retaining them for the benefit of the people themselves, would not that have been better than the water cure? Suppose we had given the people a chance to work for good wages, to buy food at reasonable prices, to rise from the hideous rut of oppression, depres sion and superstition which they had lived under the Spanish. Might we not have made ourselves welcome!- Should we not have been considered representatives of honesty and genuine liberty'/ Would not that have been better than to present our Belves as wholesale murderers and water curists? If some of the wise men at Washing ton would get a short history of Alex alider the Great and learn of his meth ods in dealing with conquered peoples their eyes might open and they might find that government, even of a super ior kind, is best established on respect for local feelings, kindn6§3 to local leaders and honesty of administration —Chicago American. The esteemed Chicago Chronicle seems fond of telling how fusion has failed in Nebraska. Let's see about that. Fusion rescued the state from republican control after thirty years of fruitless effort on-the part of democ racy. It retired a republican senator after the state had been the victim of unbroken republican senatorial repre sentation for more than a quarter of a century It reduced the republican representation in the lower house from three to two and added four to the opposition. It uncovered $500,000 of financial rottenness in the state's finances-and saved thousands of dol lars to. the permanent school fund. It cleared tbe political atmosphere in Nebraska, and had democratic news papers like the Chronicle worked as hard for the success of democratic principles as the democrats of Nebras ka did, the present day rule of trusts and monopolies would not be in ex istence, the constitution would not be a literary collander and the principles of the Declaration of Independence would yet be in full force and effect, —Commoner. Why the Omission? Judge Murray F. Tuley of Chicago calls attention to an interesting fact relating to the form in which the bill airaitist. the beef trust has been pre pared. .Judge Tuley says that, while personally he is strongly inclined to believe in the strenuous honesty of I President Roosevelt, "everyone will not. be charitable, and there will in evitably be those who will charge that President Roosevelt, an avowed candi date for re-election brought tills suit agalnat membersof the beef trust with a view of captivating common people and left a loophola in the bill for the escape of the trusts." Judge Tuley points out that tbe bill does not pray for a temporary injunc tion. It is true a temporary injunc tion is asked for, but the request is made in the form of a motion. Judge Tuley says: 1 have read the bill against the beef trust carefuliy, and it presents one (striking peculiarity. In all my ex perience at the bar and on the bench.L uever before knew of a temporary in junction being asked for when it had not been prayed in the bill. The usual metnods is to pray for temporary in junction and then pray that on tbe liDal hearing it may be made perma nent. Why such a universal usage was disregarded in this case I do not know, but the consequences may be serious. I have serious doubts whether the court has the right to grant a tempo rary injunction that is not prayed in the bill, and, of course, I doubt whether the court will grant it. You may be sure the defendants will stub bornly oppose it on this ground, and I cannot see how they are to be an swered. Hut the failure of the temporary in junction, though a matter of consider able importance, is not nearly so im portant as the construction they may put on the adoption of such an irreg ular proceeding by the president and the attorney general. If the omis sion of the prayer from the bill should be followed by a refusal of the tem porary injunction the inference will be irresistable to many minds that tbe failure to enjoin was intentional. The permanent injunction, if grant ed, will do the trust no immediate harm. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court, and it will be three years at least before a decision will be reached. In the meanwhile the next presidential election will have oc cuned. It will be interesting to watch the court proceedings and see if Judge Tuley has interpreted the situation correctly. The motion for a tempo rary injunction will be heard on May 20 before Judge Grosscup, unless a de murrer should be filed and argued in the mean time.—World-Herald. Senator Banna is threatening to give away some administration secrets if his man Rathbone is not taken care of. What has the guilt or innocence of Rathbone to do with administra tion secrets? Besides, is llanna knows some things about General Wood's administration in Cuba that will make "spicy reading" it his duty to tell it. OUR "PLAIN DUTY" TO CUBA. Shonld He a Commercial Ar rangement to I#e4 tbe Inland Live. Senator Mason made an eloquent plea for justice to Cuba. Invoking the name of McKinley in support of hie ar gument for real reciprocity as a com mercial necessity to the United States, h© declared that, having deprived Cuba of a European market and as»uinedun der practical coercion tlie control of her foreign relations, we aie morally bound to give her "a chaiwe to Vive" through normal trade relation* with us, at the same time benefiting enor mously our own people by giving tfeam cheaper sugar and a I»e«r marlMt ior their surplus. "While the gr®SB is grorrtog hoTse starves," and while oar promot ed s/ugar intereele—tie bee* zn«n and the cane men—are haggling lb tiie lobby over how much reduction otf tha Dingley duties they are willing to per mit congress to make for CWba'e re lief, starvation i6 staling her people in the face, says the New York World. Whatever is done tio help Cuba must he done quickly. She has another sugar crop of over 800,000 toes on her hands find no way of selling exoeptat a loss unless congress lets down the bars. In the words ot Secretary RooV: "The same considerations which led to th* war with Spain now require that commercial arrangement be made un der which Cuba can live." No one stands in the way of this ur gent act of justice and humanity ex cept the protected sugar twins—west ern beet and southern cane. Tbe Indiana republicans insist that revision of the tariff Is to be intrusted to his friends, not to his enemies. What friends? The billion dollar steel trust, the sugar trust, the beef trust, the wood pulp trust and other combi nations that are preying on the Ameri can people? How long would it take these monopolies to disturb the sys tem that shelters them? The revis ion of the tariff belongs, as the Indi ana republicans will discover, not to proprietor* have so much" faith in "its cur* live powers that they ofier One Hundred case that it fails to oure. its supporters and monopolistic beneficiaries, but to tbemasses of the I .people, who have been too long itsj victims,—Philadelphia Record Jut tor a BUnA It is announced that the* le-ftdars Is congress have determined upon a ,zoa» terial reduction of the war taxation and that a caucus will shortly be called, at which the plan Is to abolish the real due of this form of taxation, .or elee to make a large cut therein. This la all right as far as it goes, and the peo plea are not likely to look with any disfavor upon any legitimate move to reduce the burdens of taxation.

Distinguished Frenchmen to Be En tertained by President. Unveiling of Itodtamlican Statue, on Ittay 2-J, Will He an International Event of Considerable Importance. [Special Correspondence.] ANDS across tho sea. This seems to be the prevailing sentiment of the. day, so far at least as the government at Washington is con cerned. Just as we ure getting over the flutter caused by tiie really delight ful visit of l'rince Henry of Prussia, we are informed that the unveiling of the Bochambeau statue, in Lafayette square, Washington, is to be made the occasion of another-pleasant interna tional episode. President Faure was asked to participate in the ceremony, but for reasons of state had to decline the invitation. The French republic will, however, be represented by some of its most distinguished men and women, among them several descend ants of Rochumbeau and Lafayette. The official representative of the na tion will be Gen. flrugcre, oominander in chief of the oxmies of France, in Borne respects the most important in dividual of the republic, lie and his staff will be conveyed to the United States by the first-class battleship Gaulois. They will be received in Washington by a guard of honor, con sisting of all the regular forces at that station and the District of Colum bia militia. On the night of May 23 President Hoosevelt will give a state banquet in their honor in the East room of the white house, to which more than 90 guests will be invited. These will include the governors of the 13 original states and other dis tinguished men. The unveiling exer cises proper will begin at 11 a. m. on 1 ROCHAMBEAO STATUE. LAFAYETTE SQUARE, WASHINGTON. May B4. The president of the United States will make the opening address and M. Jules Cambon, the French am bassador, and Gen. Horace Porter, the American ambassador at Paris, will follow in brief speeches. The orator of the day will be SonatoT Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts. The exer cises will be attended by all the mem bers of the executive, the judicial and the legislative branches of the govern ment. After the unveiling the French visitors will be taken on trips to An napolis, Mount Vernon, Niagara Falls, West Point and some of the principal cities of tbe United States, all as tbe guests of the nation. The monument to be unveiled on (lay 84 has been erected by order of the GEN. BRUGBRE. (Commander In Chief of the Armies of the French Republic.) congress of the United States for the purpose of perpetuating the memory of Jean Baptiste Donatiende Vimeure, Count de Eochambeau, commander in chief of the French troops sent to America in 1780 to assist the strug gling revolutionists against their Brit ish foes. Eochambeau never became as heroic a figure in American estima tion as Marquis de Lafayette, al though he was a greater soldier theft his younger compatriot. The count was born in Vendome, July 1, 1725. He was destined for the church, and received his education In the Jesuit college at Blois, when the death of an older brother left him gole heir to the paternal estate. He at once entered the army as a cor net in the famous regiment of Saint Simon, and served in the German Bhine provinces and in Bavaria and Bohemia. In 1747, at the age of 22, he was made a colonel, and in 1748 was present at the historic siege of Maes tricht. On June 1, 1749, he succeeded his father as governor of Vendome. At Minorca, in April 1756, he led his regiment to the assault of Fort St. Philippe, and greatly contributed to the capture of Port Mahon. He was then created a knight of St. Louis, pro moted to a brigadier generalship, and served with credit In the German cam paigns of 1758*61. In 1769 he became ,.l inspector general ot cavalry, and Hot* tenant general March 1, 1780. In that year Louis XVI., prompted by his hatred for Etighind and overcome by the eloquence of the revolution ary representatives at Paris, conclud ed to dispatch a small army to the United States to assist the. soldiers of Washington. Count, lioehnmbeau was appointed to talfe command of this force and persuaded the king to increase it. to (5,000 men. lie embarked at Brest. May 2,17X0, and sailed immedi ately under the escort of Chevalier de Ternay with live ships of the line. Oil Uermuda a British fleet attacked them but it was driven back, and on July 12 they landed safely in liliode Island. The French general Immediately erect ed fortifications and thereby prevent ed Sir Henry Clinton and Admiral Ar buthnot from making nn attack they had agroed upon. After establishing his headquarters at Newport he wrote to Lafayette, on August 27, urging a cautious campaign, and in an interview with Washington, on September 22. concerted the operations of the cam paign that followed. He established strict discipline among his troops, and toward the end of October sent his son to Paris to urge the forwarding of money, supplies ant! reenforeemcnts. After receiving tidings of the arrival of Count de Grnsse, with 3.000 men, he had another interview with Wash ington, in which the plan of the Vir ginia campaign was determined. On June 18,1781, he left his quarters and, marching toward the Hudson river, defeated a part of Clinton's army on Manhattan Island. He then crossed the river as If intending to enter New Jersey but, instead, joined Washington's army at Philipsburg, nine miles from Kingsbridge. Thrts clever movement compelled Clinton to abandon his proposed expedition for the relief of Gornwallis, o»d obliged the latter to retire from Vir ginia. After crossing the Delaware at Trenton, the united armies were re viewed by congress in Philadelphia, and Eochambeau and Washington, taking the advance with a small es cort, arrived at Williamsburg, Va., September 14, where they met Lafay ette and Count de Saint Simon, who had just landed. They concerted the plan of campaign .and the siege of Yorktown was begun September 29. Two assaults were led against the place by Saint Simon and Eocham beau. and Count de Graeae having driven back the English fleet, Cornwal lis understood that further resistance wae impossible and surrendered. After returning to his winter quar ters, Eochambeau sent Lauzun's le gion to the aid of Gen. Greene, and, in April, 1782, marched to invest New York, but the plan was abandoned. After visiting Washington he went to Providence, E. I., and arranged for the embarkation of hi6 army at Boston. H© paid another visit to Washington, nt New Windsor, and embarked in Chesapeake bay, January 14, 1783, upon the frigate Emeraude, arriving In Brest two months later. Upon hi® return to France he woe created a knight of St. Esprit by King Louis, and in December, 1791, was created field marshal. In 1793 he was imprisoned in the conciergerle at Paris and narrowly escaped the scaf fold. In 1804 he was created a grand officer of the Legion of Honor by Na poleon and given a life pension. He died in his castle at Thore, May 10, 1807, at the age of 82. Eochambeau was by no means a per fect man, but he was a brave soldier and able strategist. The lapse of time haB made the world forget his peculiar political methods and we, as Americans, remember only that he was a friend in need and lent his hiralnj and arm to the cause of liberty.

A ban has been placed on the singing of high in tlie clioir of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church of Middle ton, N. Y., by the music committee, and Mrs. Kntlieryn E. St. John, musical di rector and solo soprano of the choir, declaring that she is unwilling to be dictated to in her musical selections, has resigned her position. Mrs. St. John has had chargo of the church choir for nearly two years, and although regarded ma an excellent in structor and vocalist, has not been.in dor6ed by many of the leading mem bers and communicants of the church, who deemed her singing too operotb tn character. Keoently Mrs, St. John and th« choir were rehearsing "The Inflammatus" from "Stabat Mater," sung as a chorus and solo, and members of the music committee were present in the rear of the churoh. At the completion of the solo a member of the committee stepped forward and informed Mrs. St. John in no uncertain terms that she must hereafter cut out her "high Cs," ae they oould not longer be tol erated. This terminated the rehearsal, for Mrs. St. John Indignantly set aside her music and dismissed the choir. The following day she wrote out her res ignation. DUPLEX WIRELESS TELEGRAPH The Steamer Kronprln* wllhplm la to Be Equipped with Special Apparatus-. It is more than probable that the Kronprinz Wilhelm's next voyage to Amerioa will be memorable for at leaBt two reasons. Not only will the German Lloyd steamer have the honor of conveying the emperor's brother to America, but during the trip may be racordad one ot tbe moat Important development* In the hietocy of wire less telegraphy. It te.«xpeoted by the Hamoai «ompaoy ihalt messages will be transmitted from tbe vasseJ to the shore for at least 600 miles out, while the more eonfident expect thatehe will be in communication vrith land a thou sand miles out, and that it may be pos sible to follow the Bhlp with messages all the way across the Atlantic. Cuthbert Hall, manager of the Mar coni oompany, will equip the vessel with special apparatus, by which he believes it will be possible to send two messages at ooe time, the two in stallations on shore being differently tuned. One message will appear on the first shore instrument and another on the second, if the arrangement can be completed by the time the Kron prinx Wilhelm sails. Mr. Hall said that nil the Vessels of the American line will shortly be equipped with the Marconi service, to gether with the Minnehaha, of the At lantic Transport line. OLD RUINS IN JERUSALEM. Faita of sua Ancient Chuck and Shrine to Farntob loimaln to Vliltlag Tourlats. The Greek Catholic monks, who are in possession of the chief por tions of the Church of the Holy Sep ulchre, are now going to build a bazar opposite it, where pilgrims may purchase souvenirs of their visit to Jerusalem. During the process of clearing the site the foundations of an olkl medieval churoh, 40 meters long and 30 wide, with three apses, were discovered. A number of fine capitals, fragments of basalt pillars, and bas reliefs, with symbolic ani mals, were found, all these remains having doubtless belonged to the ehoir ot the church. Last year a val uable silver shrine, containing a piece of tbe holy drosB and relics of the Apostles Peter and Paul—ac cording, at least, to the inscriptions on them—was discovered at the same plaoe, says the Lonfdon Standard. The patriarch of Jerusalem, it is said, is keeping otber discoveries se cret, owing to his fiislike of the Ro man Catholic church. Those men tioned above are all the more im portant as it can be ascertained to what churoh they belonged. Accord ing to the statement ot medieval travelers, the hospioe and the mon astery which the citizens of Amalfi founded about the year $40, as a ref uge for western pilgrims, were situ ated due south of the holy sepuloher, about a stone's throw away. The first church was built In honor of St. Mary de Latials, and the second, the ruins of ythfch have now been found, in honor at St. John the Bap tist. The French monk Bernard, who lived there in 870, highly praised the hospitality and lJie large library of the hospice. A Mohammedan historian says it was destroyed by the Khalif Hakem, and rebuilt shtortly afterward while, according to another account, it prospered down to the time of King Baldwin of Jerusalem, from 1100 to 1118, when the two communities of St. Mary land St. John adopted the latter »B their joint protector. This was the origin of the Knights of St. John. The remains now discovered, therefore, are the ruins of the cradle of thif order. It is most unfortunate that the preservation of these very interesting remains seems impossi ble, owing to the ill feeling which ex its between the GreekB and Roman Catholics in Jerusalem.
