The groat ovents of hla life as tho president of tho

and passions surviving from tho tinio of tho great civil

As has been told ovor nnd over again tho South se

HANNAS HUMBUG
Tho shrewdness of Marcus Alonzo Hanna that sly
old fox of tho republican party has again boon shown
ina striking mannor
Senator Hanna realizes that tho trusts and tholr ex-
tortions particularly tho beef trusts r ecout squeozo
has not helped tho republican party That Is tho rea-
son ho got himself mado chairman of tho arbitration
commltteo of tho Clvto Federation that wonderful or-
ganization that was going to roconcllo labor and capi-
tal and usher In tho Industrial millennium which has
boon so unaccountably overlooked by tho coal mhia
owners In Pennsylvania whore the great strlko Is now
ponding
Sonntor Hanna however U not discouraged by tho
lack of success In practlco of his plan Persistence In
his plan gives him a chance to keep up his professions
and keep on making promises which Is a delightful
thing for a republican politician
Senator Hannas rocont shrewdness wns shown In
trio republican Stato platform in Ohio which tho con-
vention In that Stato has Just adoptod Tho flno Italian
hand of Ohios junior sonntor and veteran platform
maker Is plainly dlscornlblo In that romarkahlo instru-
ment In tho language of tho stage Mr Hanna is still
doing Jh6 friend of labor stunt or as a dlsclplo of
Iznak Walton would say ho is fishing for suckers with
bait out of tho old full dinner pall which Isnt so
full as It used to bo since tho boot trust aid the other
trusts havo begun operatlnn In earnest Hero nro somo
chunkB of halt which Undo Mark has nicely cut up on
tho republican plntform upon which ho has taken his
Btand and cast his first lino for tho fishing that begins

and deserves much tfo higher consideration That Is
borrowed from Abraham Lincoln Lincoln had heon n

too good to bo true
Does Mr Hanna remember tho full dinner pall
argument which was used so extensively In tho last re-
publican campolgn Was It friendship to tho laboring
man in the republicans to permit the capitalists to
empty It Mr Hanna quotes from Abraham Lincoln
Hero Is an excellent quotation from Lincoln which ho
foiled to embody In tho Ohio platform You can fool

THE BOER PEACE
HOUSTON DAJLY POS r TUESDAY MQIIMNG TTOE349P3 Tr > TT
The news of tho Doer peace has been received with
groat rejoicing nil ovor tho world
King Edward will now bo nblo to enjoy tho cere-
mony and pageantry of his coronation with undisturbed
mind at halfpaBt 1U on Saturday night tho Door rep
resentatlvos nnd Lord Kitchener and Lord Mllnor tho
British high commissioners signed tho document con-
taining tho terms of surrender
For two years and eight montha tho war has con-
tinued Ah Presldont Krugcr predicted when It began
a prediction which on account of tho greatness of
Great Britain and tho smnllness of tho nocr republics
waB received with incredulity tho cost has staggured
humanity Tho cost has not been In money nlono al-
though millions of pounds havo figured upon tho
budget of the socretnry for war Nor has It been nlono
In tho lives of men While tho British havo been saved
tho humiliation of final defeat there Is no doubt that
they havo lost prestige As the London Standard says
Assuredly tho Doers have no reason to look back with
humiliation upon tho ovents of tho campaign Al-
though they aro defeated they arc not disgraced
Never wns thoro a war waged in which the crushing
of a llttlo peoplo was more difficult
Tho obstlnato patriotism unflagging courage and
military skill of tho Door gcnornls and soldiers onabled
them to win many victories nnd imperishable Glory In
tholr horolc struggle against great odds
Tho problem now before tho British peoplo Is tho
problem of reconstruction Tho word Is odious In this
Southern country Hut reconstruction according to
British policy is a very different tiling from tho op-
pressions of tho carpotbaggor and tho scallawag and
the rcgimo of public plunder undor which tho Southern
States suffered In tho period immediately succeeding
tho civil war Tho British havo learned to treat their
rolonles well Wo havo done grout things In tho wnr
says tho London Dally Graphic but wo havo still
greater things to nchlovo In peace
All the world which sympathizes with tho heroic
burghers will rejoice that tho terms of ponce aro lib-
eral and that the British npprcclato Iho duty of treat-
ing them In n generous spirit anil of really icconstruct
lug tho country and repairing tho ravages of war
Does Mr Spooucr think that the order to kill and burn
in the Philippines is necessnry to protect our homes from
destruction our wives from debauchery and our children
from cruelty
Thr soft coal miner hasnt such a soft thing as one would
suppose
Uiunqing in gushers seems to havo become a fixed habit
with Jennings and while her joy may not drive her to drink
it is probable that she will do some tanking up
Tub capitulation of the Doers is a triumph for the Ameri-
can mule
When Grovcr Cleveland D II Hill and W J Bryan So
to speak on the same platform the ushers should sec that the
gentlemen do not carry side arms
England manages to stagger to her knees to receive the
cheering news of pence
Mkssks Pierce lliNOUAM and Rodgewj having side-
tracked the decorations belonging to Dewey and Miles must
feel like the ass in the lions skin
Excerr for tho fact that the Charleston exposition was a
loss financially it was a success
It is said that the average Londoner tegards Kitchener
as n God of war To the unbiased looker on however he
looks more like a wad of gore
Steyn lies paralysis but he hns the satisfaction of know-
ing that he nearly paralyzed the British
This fact that the did
president not permit the crosses to-
go to Dewey and Miles is only another indication that he is
cross with them
Pcue merely came in to arbitrate in a threatened race
war and she came down heavy 011 both sides
Lord Rouirts of Kandahar may he requested to turn that
500000 which he icccivcd for ending the Uocr war over to
Kitchener
The really peculiar thing however is the fact that the
crosses were not presented to Hcnham Maclay and Long
NOTE AND COMMENT
Here Is one view of It
The people of Rosebud says the Helton Journal seem
to have studied out the situation well They emphaslre their
conclusions and convictions by object lessons under the
strong light of contrast At their recent celebration the two
aspirants were driven out to the picnic grounds Mr Henry
111 a splendid carriage behind highstepping steeds with silk
banner fluttering gaily in the hreeie Mr Thomas in a spring
wagon behind n pair of gray mules and men in thr wagon
wit 1 jumpers on and hoes in their hands and a banner made
of ducking and hearing the inscription For the people and
against the trusts Ilint tells it exactly the former stands
for the wealth ol Anheuser Pierce et al fnr great riches
gotten thiough monopoly privileges for special classes for
republican ctuagnncc in general and trust domination in
particular the latter represents the farmers the laboring
classc the great body of the common people by whose toil
and sweat this country has become great and rich but who
arc denied the enjoyment of the fruits othcir labors The
bodies are traveling on diverging routes the success of one
implies tho defeit of the other The people of Falls countv
arc evidently studying and that augurs well for the triumph
or principle The juxtaposition was a happy idea Waco

Mr Percival W Clement who Is a candidate or the repub
Mean nomination for governor of Vermont is pursuing a
course winch is n marked contrast with that of many poll
ticians who seek a popular support and one which s to be
commended Mr Clement is a man of means and is accus
tomed to live in a style which consists with his ability to
enjoy the benefits which wealth can bestow It has been his
custom to dress elegantly dine sumptuously and to travel in
a private car It has been one of his fads every evening to
don the conventional evening garb whether to attend some
fashionable function or to enjoy a quiet hour with his friends
bo long as he was a private citUen asking no special favors
at the hands of the people his habits excited no public con
cern or criticism Recently however he decided to stand as
ri candidate for governor and began a canvass in the State
for popular support in his party His close political friends
believed in his fitness and capability and advised him to
snare no effort to make himself solid with the people Hut
what was their surprise and chagrin when Mr Clement began
his canvass in a private car surrounded with his usual luxu
nes and dressed with all his accustomed elegance They at
once expostulated with him They told him that a politician
asking for votes must dress plainly and curry favor by mak
ing himself in appearance and actions as one of the common
people They said he should leave his silk hat at home and
wear a slouch abandon his private railroad car and go about
in a rickety buggy or appear as a tired travelstained houe
man But Mr Clement discarded their advice He said he
would not changehi style Of dressing or his habit of living
H > would not undertake to beguile the people hy nny such
demagogic affectation He would be frank before them in
manner as well as in speech He would live Jiid act in the
canvabj as he had lived and acted and as he would live if
elected He believed the people would have more respect for
hint And so he is making his canvass in his private car and
wearing his evening dress as1 usttal It is said that the people

The Commoner does not expect that its suggestions of

SOME LEADING EDITORIALS
AMERICANS AS THE DOMINANT TYPE
From the St Louis Repulillc
British Consul Wyndham stationed at Chicago has made
an official report to his government in which he embodies
his own intelligent study of the American commercial travel-
er ns possibly the most typical representative of the Ameri-
can in business
No one gets on writes British Consul Wyndham of the
men of this country who works with one eye on the clock
or who is unwilling to put work before his personal wishes
The American workman spends but llttlo time in saloons
and is not Interested in betting or horse racing Many em-
ployers do not retain cigarette smokers Athletics arc en-
couraged in the schools but not allowed to interfere with
business in later life Mr Wyndham also admiringly calls
attention to the genial manner nnd the marvelous memory of
the American commercial traveler
Only a few years ago such a report from an English con-
sul in this country would have been impossible English
complacency linl not then been disturbed An English mer-
chant or manufacturer felt secure in his control of the
worlds trade There was no remotest thought of the peril
of American competition Hut of recent years this compe-
tition has invaded nil fields and captured trade tr an extent
that has alarmed the British who arc beginning to study the
competitor thus so effectively pioiiiR his metal British
Consul Wyml hams report is a phase of this English study oi

TUB MOSQUITO PEST
From tho Savannah News
The movement against mosquitoes which h favored by
the health officer some of the leading physicians ntd scien-
tists ought to have the encouragement of the city authori-
ties A war on mosquitoes with kerosene as the ammuni-
tion may he productive of excellent results
There is no doubt of court thnt kerosene when placed
in the breeding places of the mosquito destroys the larvae of
that pest The only question is whether a sufficient number
01 the breeding places can be reached with kciojene to make
the wnr effective If the plan Juggeited however is followed
all through tho summer wo do not see why there should not
be a noticeable decrease in the usual number of mosquitoes
It is pietty well settled that mosquitoes arc responsible
to a very considerable extent for malarial fever and also
for jellow fever Of course nil species of mosquitoes do not
carry fever poison In latt it 1 > the understanding that there
Is only one species that is dangerous to health How numer-
ous this species is in this vicinity it is of course impossible
to say Doubtless there arc spine malarial bearing mosqui-
toes here and hi order to destroy them it is necessary to
make war on all of the species The purpose however is to
get rid of all mosquitoes to as great an extent as possible
As n matter of fnct Savannah is not troubled with mos-
quitoes as much now as when the lands wound the city were
tindraincd It would not be at alt surprising if the catch
basins and little wet snots caused b > open faucets on picm
Iscs were responsible for most of the mosquitoes with which
Snvnnunh is afflicted If course there are times when the
wind carries swatms of then into the city from distant
marshes and swamps but they soon disappear If it be true
that tho steady supply comes from the sources indicated a
continuous u > c of kerosene throughqut the summer will
doubtless greatly aid in ridding the city of an annoying and
dangerous pest
As far ns we arc able to see there need be but little ex-
pense attached to the distribution of the kerosene It can
be distributed ly policemen on their beats or by the health in-
spectors The latter probably would be the proper persons to
undertake the work

NO OPPOSITION PARTY NEEDED
From thc Atlanta Constitution
We have noticed recently several editorial articles in pro
fessedly independent Southern newspapers in advocacy of a-
more active fermentation of politics in this section The
Louisville I vening Post for instance says
The South needs nothing more than it needs a compact
aggressive intelligent party in opposition It should not be
a party built upon Federal spoils It should not be a party
speaking as an alien or an ally to a foreign organization but
a party under control of intelligent local leaders dealing di
rsctly with questions of local and State government
For our part we think the esteemed Post Is mistaken
about what the South as a whole needs and its last sentence
nbovc quoted shows that the Post itself doesnt really want
what its first sentence means
The South is committed by principle traditions and aggre-
gate interests to the tenets of oldfashion JefTersonian democ-
racy and so Iouk as the democratic party of the nation can
be kept pivoted upon that crcrd there is 110 more room for a
compact aggressive intelligent parly in opposition in the
South than there is for a democratic party in Massachusetts
or Pennsylvania
Politics in the United States by the logic of nonamalga
ble principles are divided into two great factions The fath-
er of one was Jefferson the founder of the other was Ham
iltou Every endeavor to rccreatc parties and policies on
other lines than those they formulated have failed and will
doubtless forever fail among Americans The irrepressible
conflict between democracy and federalism will endure to the
end
Since the close of the civil war the only hope of the
South for full recognition of her equal rights in the privi
leges and prerogatives of the restored Union has been in the
democratic party So long 01 the republican party is domi-
nant even now the South is regaided and treated as scarce
ly aboe the rights nnd dignities of Porto Rico and the Phil
ippincs We like them arc conquered possessions and sub
ject to suspicion
Until there shall come to the administrators of the gov-
ernment a broader and more equitnbk nationalism the South
can not divide her political forces safely Her problems are
peculiar and vital and if she does not safeguard them nobody
else can be trusted to do so Hence the selfevident necessity
that her people should be of one heart and one mind as to
the policies they will support
In State matters the new system of Slate primaries al
lows every needful freedom for the sort of opposition that
he esteemed Post actually desirci Wit m the democratic
Ines we can fight out any propositions relating to our local
and State governments We are doing that iu Georgia today
heretofore and even in Ken
b done in other States

PHILIPPINE LAND GRABBING
To the Editor of The Post
Office of City and Stale Philadelphia Pa May 3 °
you know the socalled Philippine civil government bl I is to
be voted upon on Tuesday next June J at 40 clock Its
passage by the senate would scent to be now a foregone con-
clusion but it may not be too late to secure important amend-
ments in the interest of fair dealing to the natives and com-
mon honesty as between those of our people who wish to con-
duct Industrial enterprises In the islands
1 Section 11 provides that the Philippine commission
shall make rules governing the sale of public lands These
rules require the approval of the president by and through
the secretary of war They then have the force of law un-
less disapproved or amended by congress at the next ensuing
session after their submission This would amount to hand-
ing over to the Philippine commission about 70000000 acres
be disposed of practically as the com
of valuable lands to
mission may see fit
1 Under section 77 and other sections there Is nothing
to prevent a group of individuals from organizing any num-
ber of corporations for holding land each of which corpora-
tion may own under this act 5000 acres In this way a
small group of capitalists might readily acquire an unlimited
quantity of land for their own purposes
3 According to General MacArthur who is a strong up-
holder of the administration in his testimony before the
Philippine committee of the senate it would be absolutely
disastrous to permit the exploitation of the islands by gfa
Ing even to separate corporations honestly organized by dif-
ferent groups of individuals so much as 5000 acres each
Grnernl MacArthur says that such a course would have the
effect of alienating the people to say nothing of robbing them
of their public domain producing to use his own words the
most deplorable and mournful results It would probably
result in reducing them to practical servitude
Will you not immediately exert as much influence as you
can through your journal by suggesting that the whole land
question be eliminated from the hill or at alt events some
safeguards shall be introduced which will prevent a small
number of persons from monopolizing the public domain
Above all will you not demand that rules and regulations
made by the commission shall not go Into effect until they
have been approved by congress The ttme has not yet come
when congress ought to abdicate its functions in favor of a
small body of 11 icsponsible men ten thousand imlcs distant
After the senate has voted upon its Philippine bill we
trust that your Interest in the measure on the points above
indicated will continue while it is under debate in the house
This will be the critical period in the history of the measure
Vifjoroui action during the next two weeks may save years
of most unfortunate experience in the Philippines by pre-
venting the passage of legislation which will permit the na-
tives to be afflicted by the same evils regarding the misuse
of public franchises and public property which have proved
so destructive in American cities 1 remain very truly yours
