It is noted in the cables that the Ameri- can demand for the Philippines includes the Sulu group of islands. This is by no means surprising, for those Islands are geograph- leatly a part of the Philippine archipelago, being an extension across the straits be- tween Mindanao Island, the largest of the Philippines und Borneo.

Mr. MeMiliin of Tennessee. who will not ® a member of the next House, submits observations in apposition to the pre- ensions of Mr. Bailey to lead the minority in that body. He cites an instance in the preparation of the Dingley bill, when Mr. Bailey in « ed against a propo- siti porate a paragraph of the Wilson bill into the former measure mmittee vot » in _ The paragraph related to wools and woolens, and was offered by Mr. McMillin. In cast. 1g that vote Mr. Bailey. it is charged, as- sociated himself with @ tariff issue. the republicans on Assuming that Mr. McMillin states th. © correctly, there may be room for dis as to Mr. Bailey's position. M Balley Is a tariff reformer, although not tire agr--ment with Mr. McMillin an. Mr. Mills. They belong to the exirem- wing of the party, and, while sustaining rather high duties on meny manufacture: articles, are very aggressive on the subject of free raw materials. Mr. Bailey may ha at that peint. He may not think that posi tion logical. For an instance, he may not bx able to see why if wool in the manufac- tured state is entitled to protection wool tn the raw state is not also. He may object to vot in free materials which the manu- facturers then use and on which secure pro- tection. Precisely where he would stand on 4 proposition to take down the bars and ad- mit everything free is not indicated be- cause the free traders, with all of their Ligh-sounding proclamations, have never put anybody on record to that extent. Wools and woolens touch Texas. “where she liv Her flocks are large and profit- able. The question is of little int Tennessee, because there are erough in the omtire state t country taverns with a single service of mutton. And, at ist, General Hancock was right. The tariff. in an honest ana! sis, is a local question—local to the United States in its relations to the outside wor'd, and local among the states in their ind ual relations te the general government. But Mr. McMillin, who has been engaged for some months in a gubernatoria! cam- paign at home, is scarcely up to date in this matter of democratic leaderstip in Congress. The fight against Mr. Bailey ts not political at all, but personal. The ques- tion is not one of principles, but of toggery and fashion. The Texan is challenged be- cause he refuses to wear a dress suit, and manifests indifference toward fashion in general and its exactions. Now that the democracy is divorcing itself from popu- lism, its leaders, it is inststed, must, in ad- dition to their other duties, keep an eye open for “the latest thoughts in collars and cuffs.” Even Tammany, under Mr. Croker's severely fashionable discipline. is be'ng crowded into a spike-tail garment, a}- though, as between the two, it wou'd in- finitely prefer a straight jacket. It is also urged against Mr. Bailey that he comes from a small town. Mr. McMillin, it is safe to say, will take no part in this feature of the fight. He is too much at home in a dress coat himseif to be a tyrant as to its use, and he is likely to remember that Carthage, Tennessee, is no larger than Grimesville, Tex: ——-++e____ Our Foreign Critics. A great deal has been said in the past two monihs by the Spanish, the French and the German newspapers about tne attitude of the United States as victor in the war with Spain. That attitude s been char- terized as both arrogant and brutal, and giving the lie to the American claims re- specting the motives which controlled the govenrnment’s interference in behaif of Cub ‘The Spaniards may be forgiven. They have been speaking under the stress of pas- n and defeat. The man who has lost, and heaviiy, is rarely in a frame of mind to a lest discuss his losses with wisdom or discre- tion. But the French and the German have had no excuse at all for their deliv- eranc unless in the one case they have, as reported, been holding a brief for the owners of Spanish securities, and in the ovher, that they have reflected the national disappointment over the loss by Spain of the Philippines. ‘The truth is that, as compared with any other victor of modern times, the United States has carried itself not only without blame, but with exceptional kindliness and courcesy toward the vanquished. Dewey's compliments io ihe Spanish admiral whom he had deteated at Maniia, and Sampson’: and Schlie attentions to their prisone: at Santiago were fine in their way ana strictly in line with what proved to be the President's policy when subsequently he took up Spain's request for peace. He re- plied at once and accepted the medium of communication proposed by her. Had there been a particie of arrogance or brucality in his nature he would have forced Spain to send an envoy of her own to deliver her message, and then have insisted on trans- acung che business at this capital. As for the terms insisted upon, they nave been generous to a degree. Spam has been required to surrender only what she was ¢learly no longer abie to control, and in- stead of money being demanded of her, money, and a good big sum, is to be paid to her.

While the govern- ment has paid alienuon to the provection of ils great lorest preserves for some years, it has only been within the past eighteen months that its efforts became comprehen- sive, and the establishment of a definite for- est policy will no doubt resait in a great saving to the government. All this, how- ever, as Secretary bliss poinis out, is de- pendent upon continued generosity by Con- gress in the matter of appropriations, and he urges with much force of argument the necessity of progression along these lines in protecting the forests. see If every man who is dis new writes memoirs or remini: book market will be ficoded a gene hence. ontented just vences, the ion es This acquisition of tropical territory ought to do something to moderate the exorbitant price charged for palm-leaf fans at a circus. —— Admiral Dewey preserves the silence of a man who {s too busy hanging on to the safety valve to indulge in conversation. ——__+e With the present tendency, as indicated by the election, Mr. Bailey will be lucky if he holds on to a followership. ——_—_~eo—_____ Possibly the kaiser will undertake to dis- tinguish himself in literature by writing a gulde book. —_ wee Judging from the condition of the treas- ury, the “curse of gold’ has come home to roost ——_+ +2 —___ An Early Winter Storm. A fierce storm has swept over the north- rn states, giving them their first real touch of winter. In some cases much dam- age has been done to shipping while in sev- ral cities the snow caused temporary Nockades which seriously interfered with iness. The New England coast has ap- rently suffered most seriously, at least thirty vessels being swept ashore by the gale, which is estimated to have reached a maximum of 100 miles an hour at some points. This high wind, coupled with the heavy snow-fall, brought intense suffering among the poor of the cities. Washington, sowever, escaped with a minimum of dis- ~omfort. The snew which fell Saturday lid not He long, but meited when the tem- erature rose temporarily during Saturday afternoon and Sunday. The lowest tem- -rature here recorded was 22 degrees, at midnight of Saturday. Since then there has been a decided rise, though this morn- ing was cold enough for any, legitimate purpose. Fortunately the cold wave shows signs of abating further and today’s fore- cast for the next twenty-four hours indi- cates that there will be rain here by tomor- row. This is reassuring, for it is to be feared that if the freezing weather of Sat- urday night and Sunday should continue for long there would be great suffering among the poor people of the city, who are in many cases utterly unprepared for the advent of winter in its severest phases. It is not likely that the thermometer will go often this winter any lower than it did Saturday night. Twenty-two degrees above zero is of course not a local minimum, by any means, for the zero mark hus been reached on previous occasions. But these exceptionaily cold spells are so brief, as a rule, as to make them appear as mere spurts. The snap of Saturday night brings warning that it behooves the charity or- ganizations to attend to the preiiminary work of preparation for what.gives promise at present of being a severe season. ,Luck- ity the business situation has been such for a year or more as to give employment to a large number of peopie who have reguiarke for several seasons been without work, and this fact may serve to reduce the difficul- ties of the probiem this year. ————_ + «= ____ Governor Pingree is a profoundly irri- tating man.

Mr. Brigham Young Roberts, elected to the House of Representatives from the state of Utah, while admitting that he has thi simultaneous wives, declares that “bis domestic affairs are not a proper mat- ter for public comment nor political ¢ planation.” Under ordinary circumstance this plea would be true as a truism. But Mr. Robe: “domestic affairs” are extra- ordinary. Not only extraordinary, bat crim- inal. Ard the question which will confront the new House of Representatives at its assembling will be whether they wiil ad- mit to their membership a confessed vio- lator of the laws of the United States. From the Boston Advertiser. It will be a spectacle to make tire nation blush and cause it to become a hissing and by-word to the rest of the world if there is to be permitted to sit at Washington as one of the lawmakers of the land a man (Representative-elect Roberts of Utah) whc openly and brazenly defies what is at once the law of the whole land, the !aw of his own state, both constitutional and statu. tory, and the solemn compact voluntarily made by his own state with Congress and the country in order that his state might become a member of the Union! From the New York Tribune, As # condition precedent to her admission to statehood, Utah promised to give up polygamy, but continues it under the rose with the secret sanction of her apostolic order, and in electing a known and open polygamist to the next Congress brings up the whole subject for renewed considera tion, and very possibly for further and more effective legislation. It is in no way surprising that there are many members of the coming House who object to sitting in the same chamber with a polygamist whether he leaves his flock of wives at home, in Utah. or brings them to Washing ton and openly flaunts them in the face of society. His election is an affront. te the moral sentiments of the country and al! Christian countries, and if he is unseated in pursuance of the prevailing disposition among the republican leaders of the House only Mormon tears need be shed for him He could, no doubt, get the sympathy of the Grand Turk on application, but there wilt be none for him at home outside of his sect, and perhaps but scant measure there. wost of its members having found by ex- perlence that one wife is always enough and sometimes one too many. ——__ +e.
