The illustrious Missourlan was eminently correct, far more correct than the French savant who sald'It Is always the unexpected Which hap-" pens.": The expected has happened at Manila. -The most startling headline In the .great dailies is "Fraud In Phil ippines!'' 1 Did anybody expect any thing else? It was Inevitable that fraud would be committed, for that has been the history of proconsular government since the world began and will continue to be until -the earth shall perish as a scroll. It makes no sort, of difference whether the : proconsuls are Roman, English, Spanish, French, American or what not. Warren Hastings, "the op pressor of India," as Burke properly termed that mighty man, is the type of them alL Racial traits may "vary the manifestations, but essentially they are the same. The vice is an infirmity of human nature and in the system Itself. We know from highest authority that the Ethiopian cannot change his skin or the leopard his spots.

And procon sular government leads ail who are concerned in it into irresistible and multifarious temptations. ' - The following dispatch, let us hope, makes the situation out worse than it is: .f V ,A ; Scandal In the Philippines. - Manila, JIareh SI. Interest in the capture and fate oi Aguinaldo is well nigh overshadowed la Manila by sensational developments, present and prospective, of frauds In the commissary depart ment, how widely these extend has not yet been ascertained, bat enongb is already known to Jus tify tne belief that -they are farreacbing. Captain rredenck. t. Barrows of the Thirtieth volunteer infantry, quartermaster of the department- of southern Luzon, together with seven conuniasary sergeants, several civilian clerks, a prominent government contractor, the assistant manager of the. Hotel Oriente, the proprietors of three of the largest bakeries in Manila, a number of store keepers and other persons, -has been arrested. The investigation has scarcely begun, but thou sands of sacks of flour, a quantity of bacon and wagon loads of other -goods, - all bearing govern ment marks, have been found in the possession of unauthorized persons. It is alleged that the con tractor in question, who has been doing a busi ness approximating $100,000 per month, has spent huge sums in entertaining officers. A prominent commissary officer is accused of leading- a scan dalously immoral life. It is asserted that large quantities of stores have been lost or stolen in transit and also that there is a shortage in the commissary depot. New scandals are developed daily. Illicit transactions have been traced back to June, 1900, and it is possible that there are others of earlier date. - The exorbitant tariff on provisions makes the surreptitious sale of com missary supplies immensely profitable. .It la un derstood that other United States officers may be arrested.

Thomas Brackett Reed Is de moting most of his time to practicing law and . making money, but he has not lost the happy faculty of condens ing into a few words as much wisdom as is round m many a. long speech Not long since be was in Baltimore on business. A reporter asked him if be thought the Filipinos capable of self- government, whereupon he replied: "I , think every people is capable of self government,; It may not be the -kind we have or want, but it is the kind that is satisfactory and sufficient for them." Thomas' large and capacious bead is ieveL' He might have added that we evoluted through hundreds of years into our great capacity for self govern ment' That's the onIyway to attain to the high position we holdto evolute and revolute.

We and those from whom we sprang in Europe bad to go It blind, to grope in darkness, to explore an an-' known world. We made many mis takes in our experimentations which our imitators may escape, but we suc ceeded, and they can likewise succeed if they will exercise energy, vigilance, courage, fortitude and, above alL mod eration and self abnegation. - Tom Johnson's Great Victory. . ' Individually I feel happy as a clam at high tide-over tha election to the may oralty of Cleveland, of Tom Johnson not Thomas, mark you, but plain Torn., My first cause for rejoicing is because I know Tom, like Tonv believeln Tom. He is a free trader, who has the cour age of bis convictions' and who Is not afraid to speak out in meeting. He Is a disciple of Henry George and was a bosom friend to that illustrious states man, philanthropist and philosopher. In the second place, Cleveland la the home of Marcus A. Hanna,;;lt is good cise nis best influence In a perfectly leeitirnatea way. -Consequently for sev eral years the primary has more and more come into vogue for the nomina tion of district, county, township and municiDal Dositions. ' South Carolina bas a law compelling all nominations, including that for Usited States sena tor, to be made by primary on a day fixed by statute and under the general election law. If no one receiveaa ma-. jority of the votes cast, then two weeks later a secondary primary Is held to se lect a nominee from the two candidates who received the highest. vote at the first primary. Nothing could be fairer, and it works like a charm in the Pal- cieito State. Arkansas has a law cuch and pleasant to see Mark under Demo cratic rule. . , Tom Johnson has a great bead and Is a great character. He Is young and smart as a whip. He did not make the race for jnayor for fan; he is after KShP.S5 and a seat in the senate of the United States. The chances are that be will get" both. Far. stranger things have happened than bis election to the presidency some day. If he could get bis pet theories enacted Into law, there would be a great and deafening rat tling of dry bones. Hurrah for Tom! He is a multimillionaire and looks like a cherub. v A Rising Star. . ;.. There can be no question that Car ter Harrison is a coming man in the Democratic party. Indeed he has al ready arrived. His' splendid victory in Chicago turns all eyes upon the bril liant young Illinois statesman. Thrice elected mayor of the second city of the continent, he Is still a yoath. . Surely there are greater honors In store1 for him. With Illinois we can elect a Democratic president, and it looks as If Harrison can carry the state. - His name is already familiar to the ears of every newspaper reader in America, and he bas demonstrated bis winning qualities beyond all caviL The estima tion in which a man's home folks bold him is the very best and most reliable verdict upon his merits and his- stand ing, particularly when that verdict Is three times repeated, and upon no man in- America has a more flattering home verdict been pronounced than upon young Carter Harrison. Senator Jo seph Weldon Bailey of ..Texas is a statesman with an unusually - level head, and here is what he says: . Carter Harrison's sweeping victory for mayor of Chicago, I believe, will result In his nomination tor the vice presidency in 1904. 1 sincerely hope He is the strongest Democrat In Illinois, and if he la named for second place on the national ticket the Democracy will be invincible in that state in 1904. Altgeld has sunk into political ob livion for all time. Harrison is the greataat vote getter in Illinois. These utterances of Mr. Bailey are regarded as significant, . Many Demo crats believe be desires to be president and some of his closest political friends are enthusiastically talking of Bailey and Harrison as the next presi dential ticket of the Democrats. - Hr. Chairman Jones. " Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the Democratic national committee, is to be congratulated on the personal victory be won by having his friend and constituent, E. D. Scott appointed as one of the Louisiana Pur chase exposition - commissioners. I haven't the pleasure of a personal ac quaintance with Mr. Scott, but I will risk my head on the proposition that he Is a good man. Otherwise Senator Jones would not have made a fight for him. But I am not talking about Scott Senator Jones and his victory consti tute my theme. No purer man and few abler live than Senator Jones. He has rendered his party and therefore bis country great service under very hard conditions and onerous circumstances. True, the Democrats lost in 1896 and In 1900, but the probabilities all favor the proposition that they would have lost under any chairman and that Senator Jones. was the best possible selection in both campaigns. .He Is honest as the day is long, true to his friends and to his principles as is the needle to the pole, of handsome presence, of good manners and of buoyant temperament He is an honor to the American senate and to American manhood. Neverthe less he bas been pursued by many Re publican papers and, alas, sad to relate, by some so called Democratic papers, with a rancor that is amazing. Notable among his persecutors is The Globe Democrat, and Its performances touch ing Senator Jones and the Scott ap pointment, do it no honor whatever. In order to prevent the appointment by the president of Mr. Scott The G.-D. and others misrepresented a speech which Senator Jones delivered before the Arkansas legislature, published gar bled extracts of It and made malicious comments on the same. They also re vived the ancient and odoriferous lie that Senator Jones is one of the chief manipulators, owners and beneficiaries of a trust, the round cotton bale trust; but their malice did Senator Jones no harm .In the mind of President McKin- ley or any other fair and candid per . son. Mr. Scott was duly appointed be cause Senator Jones pressed his name, which, In the face of the antics of The Globe-Democrat and other preposter ous malcontents. Is a great and well deserved victory for the senior senator from Arkansas. The truth is that Ar kansas has a splendid delegation in both house and senate. Trust the People. More and mora state legislators are realizing that the most certain method of securing pure and capable public officials Is to see to it that nominations are made In the fairest manner possible consistent with the ineradicable Imper fections of human nature. : Experience bath shown that the primary election is the best plan and reduces evil influ ences and .unscrupulous manipulation to the minimum, while mass meetings and conventions furnish the greatest opportunity for crooked work. The primary brings the great duty of mak ing good nominations home to every cit izen and" gives each a chance to exer- the same, and it works well, in that state. Now comes Wisconsin and Joins the procession by what will be known as . the La Follette primary election law, because It was championed and forced through the legislature by the governor of that name. Minnesota has just enacted a law providing that con. gressioBaV district, county, township and municipal nominations shall be made by primaries in fact, all officers except state officers and senators of the United States. These undoubtedly will follow, later. The primary idea will spread until it becomes universal, for it narrowly concerns the people that the best nominations possible shall be made for all public positions by all political parties, because, blink It as we may, this fs essentially, and necessarily a government by party. The ultra con servative oppose primaries honestly, but not wisely, simply because they are Innovations. . Corruptionlsts ' . oppose them because when ; primaries rigidly guarded by law are the rule they will be like Othello, for. their occupation will be gone. ' . Sweet Is Revssgt, Colonel John A. Joyce, poet laureate of Washington, D. C, is incubating a biography of that rare genius, Edgar Allan Poe, In which he proposes inter alia to prove that Poe wafa plagiarist and stole "The Raven" from an Ital- lan wfcese caqe 13 net divided. TtU ltallarf wrote, so it is said, a poem entitled "The Parrot," which much re sembles "The Raven." Pc may have filched from bim, for all I know, al though Colonel Joyce must permit the suggestion that he is rather late In pre ferring the charge. His evidence will have to- be overwhelming to convict roe, for he has been universally con sidered as the one American poet blessed with unquestioned originality; but if Colonel Joyce does fasten the charge upon him, and if the spirits of dead poets take any Interest In the happenings on this mundane sphere. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow will be In ecstasy, for Poe worried him greatly In this life by attempting to prove that he was a plagiarist In passing It may not be inapropos to remark that Colonel Joyce and Ella Wheeler Wil cox have for years been hurlinir at each other the charge of plagiarism, each claiming the authorship of 'Laugh and the World Langha With You." . ... Cheap Advertising;. Some. time ago I stated in these let ters that the signs Indicated that Mr. Babcock of Wisconsin was posing as a tariff reformer for some other reason than a sincere desire to cut down the rates of the Dingley bill. I further stated that Bab knew be could not Induce a Republican congress to choke the pap suckers loose from the public teat It looks very much as If Bab Is simply trying to secure ror himself a lot of cheap advertising, or he is seri ously considering a change of political base, for if he has half the sense he has been credited with he knows that the tariff barons and trusts own the Republican party body, soul and breeches, and consequently It has no more Idea of cutting down the tariff than Bab has of trying to marry the dowager empress of China. The Philadelphia Times has this clear and timely article on Bab: Congressman Bused! of Connecticut has Wi talking on the subject to the newspapers and Clares that be will never support such s measurs- nnleas it can be made to affect so tn other fellow's product exclusively. Ia plain English, so tariff protected industry is protected enough to suit Its benendariea, and there la likely to be a onion ot the representatives of all protected industries to prevent the passage of the Babcock bill In the next congress. Despite the stereotyped BepubUcaa boast that the Bepubliran party can be depended on to pro tect the public against Injustice end cxtortloa the Chinese wall tariff won't be lowered, even as a de fense against the trusts, until there are enough Democrats in congress to lower It. Commenting on that excerpt from The Times, the Washington Post, a high tariff advocate, says that the friends of the tariff must and will re- . vise It forgetting that they always re vise it by the simple process of raising the rates. They never revise by tutp ting them down. The Post adds: . Our Philadelphia coutemporary'a prediction that the tariff will not be "lowered, even as a defense against the trusts, until there are enough Demo crats in congress to lower It would be funny U it were not pathetic There have beca "enough Democrats In congress" to pass a bill last ooo for one congress, for precisely two years siace 1S53. That congress was elected for "tariff re form." It was the culmination, ia laBt, of the crusade begun by Mr. Cleveland In 1S87. Docs The Times remember tha resultt We are sure Hr. Cleveland has not tor-rotten it. Knee that tii four congressional elections have occurred, la all ot which the Democrats have scored defeat. Clearly The Post Intends to convey the Idea that the Wilson bill defeated the Democrats at four consecutive con gressional elections because Its rates were too low. As a matter of fact It defeated tbem because it left the rates too high, and every Intelligent man In the country knows that that Is true. The Post's plan (and Bab'a, too) ap pears to be to. cut off the dog's tall piecemeal, so It will not hurt him very much all at once. There is only one way to successfully amputate the tariff dog's tail, and that Is close up to bis ears, the closer the better. Horace Greeley said. "The way to resume is to resume." The way to bust the trusts Is to place everything they make. handle or sell absolutely on the free list , Stock It.

Few mountaineers go far enough Into the avalanche regions to see much of them, and fewer still know the .thrilling exhilaration of riding on them, says John ilulr In The Atlantic In all my wild mountaineering I bare enjoyed only one avalanche ride, and the start was so sudden and the end came so soon. I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times. One calm, bright morning In Tosemite, after a hearty storm had given three or four feet of fresh snow to the moun- tains, being eager to see as many avalanches as possible and gain wldo views of the peaks and forests array ed In their new robes before the sun shine had time to change or rearrange them, I at out early to climb by a side canyon to the top of a commanding ridge a little oter 3,000 feet above the valley. But I was not to get top views of any sort that day, but instead of these something quite different for deep trampling near the canyon bead where the snow was strained started an avalanche, and I was swished back down to the foot of the canyon as If by enchantment The plod Jl nr. w allow ing ascent of about a mile had taken all day, the undoing descent perhaps about a minute. When the snow suddenly gave way. I Instinctively threw myself on my back and spread my arms to try to keep from sinking. Fortunately, though the grade of the canyon was steep. It was not interrupted by step levels or precipices big enough to cause outboundlng or free plunging. On no part of the rush was I buried. I was onlv moderator lmbJJl on I the surface or a little below It and covered with a hissing back streaming I r CP TKsnsit Aamln I veil, and as the whole mass beneath or about me joined In the Sight I felt no friction, though tossed here and there and lurched from side to side. and when the torrent wedged and came to rest I found myself on the top of the crumpled pile, without a single bruise or scar. Hawthorne says that steam has spir itualized travel, notwithstanding the smoke, friction, smells and clatter of boat and rail riding. This Might In a milky way of snow flowers was tha most spiritual of ail my travels, and after many years the mere thought of It Is still an exhilaration. CURIOUS PRIVILEGES. esse of the Prerogatives Which Een- baasadora May Esereleo. A curious privilege of an embassador la that he and be alone when dismiss ed may turn bis back to the sovereign to whose court be Is accredited. The mode of procedure Is as follows: When the embassador's audience Is over, be waits to be dismissed by the sovereign. When dismissed, the em bassador bows, retires three pace. bows again, retires another three paces, bows a third time, turna on his heels and walks to the folding doors. But It Is felt that more polite methods should obtain when the reigning sov ereign Is a woman. To turn his beck Is to be discourteous, to walk back ward la to resign a privilege. The em bassador retires sideways, like a crab. He keep one eye on the sovereign and with the other tries to see the door. He thus shows politeness to the sov ereign and at the same time retains one of his privileges. As the embassa dor la usually an old gentleman, often short sighted, be sometime falls to reach the door and come la collision with the walL Another privilege of embassadors Is the. right of being ushered Into the royal presence through folding door. both of which must be flung wide open. No one except an embassador can claim this privilege. The most any nonembassadorlal person can ex pect Is that one of the leaves shall be opened to bim. The reason for this privilege Is not known. There are cer tain Irreverent suggestions that have been made, but we prefer to be silent with regard to them. Another privilege, capable of causing great Inconvenience, la the embassa' dor's right of admission to the sov ereign at any hour of the day or night Thus the minister representing tome little bankrupt state could go down to' Windsor and demand an audience at 4 o'clock In the morning. The audience would hare to be granted, though It could be delayed by the exercise of In genuity. Chambers' Journal. Tb Tree Mission of Lnanry.
