He says that he will meet any such “mob” at the state lne with Gat- Mag guns and blow it to pieces. In other words, he will forcibly resist, presumably hy virtue of his executive authority, the » passage into the state of workingmen eking employment, on the ground that are unoer contract and that their « in the state would be demoraiiz- » from the original question of re- bility for the rioting and slaughter den, which The Star has already dis- cussed at some length, ft ts plain that Gov. Tanner has succeeded since the event in naintaining p at the scene of the dis- pute, whatever difference of opinion there may be concerning the wisdom of his choice of metheds. The governor is now ostensi- bly sesking to prevent recurrences of the conditions which led to the outbreak, and he chooses Gatling guns as the proper means to this end. it is te be questioned in the begirning whether he would not be more effective in preserving the peace and pre- venting bloodshed if he sought the aid of state or federal courts, meeting the mob” or the mine owners with an injunc- tion instead of a volley of bullets. Assur- edly. if there be a law in force in Illinois to permit the governor to go as far as the use of force at the state borders, there is statutory authority for him to ge about the exclusion of the would-be immigrants in an orderly, pacitic manner. The gevernor asserts that he is justified in his position by the fact that the United States has seen fit to exclude certain un- desirable classes of foreigners from en- trance into this country on the ground that their presence here would tend to degrade emoralize social and industrial condi- Arguing from analogy, the governor declares that an equal right is vested in the state—in him—to keep a similarly men- ace ons acin Ss of people from the state. It may be doubted whether a President of the United States would be justified in taking any action of this sort without the warrant of specific law. The President would urder such circumstances be arbi- trarily constituting himself judge and jury as well as legislature, an assumption which would undoubtedly be speedily rebuked by the constituted authoriti It may aiso + doubted whether the governor of a state as a right of the kind asserted which the President of the United States lacks. Governor Tanner's proposition is to re- strict the free passage of the people of on® state into another, to interfere, in short, with the intercourse of the people. He proposes to attain this radical end by use of the most radical remedies. He will build a barrier of fire and blood at the State boundaries, and dictate who shall enter. He will himself adjudge the char- acter of working men entering the state rejecting by force those whom he. persenai- ly considers unworthy or likely to lower the moral tone of the state. Thus the question broadens into a national effair, for it af- fects the rights of the peopie of all the and it becomes important to learn what state law the governor is act- , if there be no such law in exist- ence, on what grounds he presumes to act ponsibility, without law, In eatening to adopt the remedies of death s to which his previous in- ntributed. zee Progress at Paris. » negotiations at Paris have ad- ‘The Spanish commissioners t that the United State: ¢ to discuss the question of the Cuban debt, have ceased their impor- tunities and have passed on to consider the next item of the program. There is no certainty that an agreement has been reached in terms definitely to settle the whole questicn of the debt. The case seems rather to be that Spain has sought to persuade this government to guarantee all rt of the debt, and, having failed to carry the point, has relegated that fea- ture of the discussion to the rear. in the course of a few days, it is now expected, the commissioners will reach the question of the Philippines, which will doubtless prove the supreme test of the negotiation. There is a growing disposition here and abroad te anticipate that the United States will demand the absolute surrender of the entire group, a proposition which is not in the jeast inconsistent with the terms of the protocol. That instrument relegated to nference the discussion of the nd control of the islands, leav- re own re action has ce The pe vanced a step. convinced at does not prope United States meanwhile in posses- of th conceded degree of po: sion city and bay of Manila. This ssion has never deen considered limiting the United in its final demands to the same area. The abandonment of the controversy over the Cuban debt may be cited by pain tater in the case as a reason for leniency on the Part of the United States in the argument over the Philippines. But there is very little of the nature of an argument in this affair, after all. The United States has ac- quired, by virtue of the victor’s power, certain privileges. It remains for the vic- tor to determine for himself, in view of his own interest and welfare, what portion of those privileges he shall appropriate to his own use. The real question of interest with respect to the Philippines is whether the United States would be able safely and honorably to let them go. Uncle Sam has the Philippines bull firmly by the horns, and whether he cares to acquire a bull or not he may reasonably hesitate to relax his grip. soe If Spain were allowed to have its own Way about peace settlements it might be tempted to engage in another war fur the @ake of the profit. —— Dr. Parkhurst is face to face with one of the worst cases of tacksliding In his entire 1.)

They declare specifically what course they will take if Intrusted with power. One may not agree with these men, but respect for their candor and straightforwardness Is imperative. 2.) Populists who recognize the imposs ‘y of securing fiat money at this time. ‘They would much prefer a paper dollar with nothing whatever behind it, but as that fs ouc of reach they will take a metal dollar with as little behind it as possible. The silver dol- tar, therefore, with only fifty cents behind it meets with their favor. They will assist in the effort to ferce that on the country in unlimited numbers, in the hope that after a wh le they may induce the people to knock props out altogether and attempt business simply upon wind and confidence. These men also are very frank, however much mistaken the free expression of their views shows ‘them to be. (3) A portion of the so-called sound democrats, who, having assisted in the sound money triumph of 1896 as money trying to undo that work. These are the queerest lot of men who have ever figured in our affairs. They give different reasons in different localities for their inconsisten- In one locality they excuse themselves on the score that the administration is a disappointment on the money issue. There- fore, the thing to do is to help bring in Bry- anism. In another locality they declare that the silver issue is dead. Therefore, the thing to do is to bring in the political com- bination which exists solely by reason of the silver issue. It fs in New York that the height of hypocrisy and absurdity !s reach- ed. Many of the so-called sound money democrats there are blackguarding Theo- dore Roosevelt and trying to turn the state over to the Bryanized Tammany organiza- tion. How that may be expected to help sound money it ts hard to tell. Men of the stamp of Mr. Bryan, Senator Jones and Mr. Harvey are the real repre- sentatives of the silver cause. They stand out in the open and fight for what they be- Heve. They want Theodore Roosevelt beat- en in New York because they know that such a result will redound to the benefit of their ally, Tammany Hall. They have no respect for Tammany, but use the organiza- tion when they need it in thelr business. +e The Latest Silver Argument. The following appears in a report of a speech delivered by Senator Turpie at Terre Haute, Ind., Wednesday night: “The free and unlimited coinage of sil- ver was advocated strongly, and peace and prosperity were promised’ when such a currency was adopted. Mr. Turpie showed that the possessions wrested from Spain have been upon a silver basis for four centuries, and endeavcred to prove that un- less the same monetary basis was adopted by this country, commerce would be next to impessible.”” If Senator Turpie ts correctly represented in this he made an extraordinary proposi- tion to his constituents. Porto Rico has a populaticn of less than a millon and only a small trade. The Philippines have an estimated population of eight millions, fully one-half of whom are not as yet factors in any estimate of trade. Cuba has left, after a destructive war of three years, onl; about a million people and a greatly re- duced trade. The business of those Islands, it is true, is now conducted on a silver bests. And if we are properly to command this business, says Senator Turpie, we must go to a silver basis also. That is to say, ten million people, backward in every par- ticular, :re to change the financial policy of seventy million people, and the foremost in manutacturing enterprise in the world! This is truly startling. And yet in what particular does it differ from the original proposition that the United States go to a silver basis? Great as we are, when com- pared with the islands in question, how lim- ited is our power, financial and commercial, in comparison with that of the combined great nations of the world, with whom we are trading and in sympathy with whose financial policy our policy is shaped! Those nations are all deing business on a gold basis, and the sound money contention is that this requires that our business be conducted on that basis also. It is our sole hope of keeping our place at the head of the procession. But the silver men insist that if we go to a silver basis the other gold nations will be forced to change their policy to silver. That 1s te say, the seventy million people in the United States have it in their power to coerce the hundreds of millions who people the gold ‘standard nations of Europe! ince wheat and silver parted company the country has been waiting for a new silver argument. If Senator Turple sup- plies it the outlook for free coinage in the United States has by no means been im- proved. on Thanksgiving. Particular interest attaches thia year to the President's Thanksgiving proclama- tion, issued today. Few years in the his- tory of the republic have oven so filled with reasons for heart-felt gratitude. The na- tion has passed through a crisis which has brought it fame, territory, experience and a spirit of union among the people such as never before prevailed. It has been permit- ted to set free several millions of people crushed under the yoke of Spanish mis- rule. It has been blessed with abundance, prosperity has prevailed in all quarters, and no great disasters have been encoun- tered. It is therefore fitting that especial stress be laid this year upen the observance of the national custom which has grown to be as firmly established as though it were prescribed by law. Uausual attention will be paid to the President's injunction to the people to give thanks. The occasion will become, in this way, a national peace Jebilee of deep significance. —— +2 —___ The cordiality with which he has been receive may convince the German em- peror of the destrability of confining his excursions to the Ottoman empire and keeping away from Manila. ———_~+co____ If the Chinese emperor's revenues run low he ought to be able to derive a consid- erable Income by allowing patent medicine proprietors to cure him and print his plc- ture. ee Governor Tanner of Illinois has run afoul of ene of those occasions when it is im- possible to avoid giving offense to a large number of people. ee Col.

Colonel War- ing was sent to Cuba for the purpose of ascertaining the extent of the public works necessary to clean the city of Havana, to start the regime of sanitation which is promised for the island. He is well equip- ped for this work, having had a long expe- rience in such affairs. It is sincerely to be hoped that he will recover from his attack and be able soon to present his report to the authorities in this city, for the work of cleaning the Cuban capital ought to be begun at the earllest possible moment to insure the health of the American forces placed in occupation of the city.
