In case Of the acquisition Of the
Philippine archipelago, grave prob

In the administration Of our colonial
policy. England demanded and Sc

viii demand and receive concessions
from the United States as to Canadian
trade in with Porto Rico, and this
country wiz have to declare the "open
door" for trade with the Philippine
islands But what is the @open doorY"
1t Is free trade. This country will have
free trade in a few years, and that me-
diseval barbarity-protective tariff
viii become obsolete. Reciprocity
conditional free trade-has been tri ID
and proved unsatisfactory. Since we
have come out Of our shell, through
the Spanish war, we cannot expect to
carry our musty and moth eaten ideas
OF exclusiyeness into our colonial pol
icy. We viii have to modify our ideas
On hnsncei also. The American peo-
pie have been demanding free coinage
Of silver and $50 per CAPITA Of money
in circulation, to do business on. It is
an eye opener to the dull intellect of
hide-bOUnd Americans to learn that
Little Hawaii" has $50 per-capita, and
the Straits Settlements-which in
cludes the Phirippines-has $50 per
capita while We have only s23 per cap
its. They are on a silver basis and
the money OF commerce is the Mexi-
can dollar Already the merchants
and business men OF Manila have fled
their protest against any change in
their money system They would rebel
Il the tyranny Of the gold standard
vas forced upon them. That is left to
the miserable and degenerate Amer
lean to endure. Then, again, as to the
form Of government for these colonies.
Emanating from the president him
SELF it is proposed that congress shall
enact special laws for the government
Of these new possessions distincsi7eIy
as colonies. Such q policy would be
sowing dragons teeth. The only safe
policy is to grant them reasonable au-
sOnOmy under q territorial form Of
goVernment.until they are qualified for
statehood, then let them be taken into

Anarchy Is a product Of despOtism
as surely as winter is caused by the in
clinatiOn Of the earth's axis to the
plain Of his orbit. When governments
incline away from human rights then
the winter Of anarchy begins. Not
Ouly may individuals become anarch-
lists, but governments and rulers also
become anarchical when they wrest
from mankind their god given rights.

RIG. Dun & Co.'S Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for August con tains the following:
 August, usually an active month, rolled up an enormous volume oi business, and recorded the smallest failures recorded in any month for the past five years of this country's commercial history.
 Trade conditions in leading indus tries are strong. The improvement in the iron industry especially is impressive.
 Wool sales show a falling of. It is believed the market will not bet ter itself, until the holders views weaken somewhat.
 Railroad earnings show large gain and securities of all sorts are advan- cing.
 Tbe export demand for both agri- cultural and manufactured produc- tions is good and increasing; i'm ports smaller, showing large balance in favor of this country.
 In Southern California. the Au- gust trade tone was better than was looked for in year when the bal ance of trade has been decidedly against this section.
 The orange crop is practically moved, and the returns from its l5,- 0O0 car loads tend to make times easier. Indications for large next years crop are reported most favor able.
 There is a large demand for lemons; with the fruit scarce, prices are stroug and steady.

WHAT DEMOCRAT SAYS.

Senator Daniels, of Virginia, whose term in the Senate has expired, has pronounced views on the war ques- tion, and has issued the following statement:
 II regard the war against Spain as a just war, and believe thatit will profit this country in many direc- tions.
 "It will lead to the introduction of American civilization in the West Indies, and will dismiss from this continent the cruel ferocity of a past age and a decayed nation.
 "It has shown Americans every wi ere that no one section IS more patriotic than another, and has brought a balm to ancient wounds in the general expression and gen. erous action of a deep-seated and fervent patriotism.
 "The war has revealed the United States in its true light, and as the good feeling of it's people was never more apparent, so its prestige among nations was never so high.
 Ut will broaden the views of all our people, and iJ will be well worth it's cost. It will broaden the views, elevate the patriotism, cement the good will, stimulate the commerce, manufactures and agriculture of the whole people.
 "It brings us new questions which must be sedately and carefully con sidered. It may lead to complica- tions which may entail burdens, but all in all, the war will ultimately benefit this nation in all directions of its advancing civilization. We must take care to suppress its ten dencies toward great standing ar mics, toward arbitrary power and toward extravagant expenditure, but the people will see to it that this will be done"

garding the Charges Against Su-
 perintendent Darlington.
 Governor Murphy was at his desk this morning in the executive cham bers, having arrived on the morning train from Yuma where spent yes terday in looking after prison mat ters and in the installment Of Hon. Herbert Brown as superintendent.
 In speaking of ex-SuPerintendent Darlington, Governor Murphy said: "The change was not made because of any reflection upon Mir. Dorring- ton, either as a man, a citizen or a republican. John Darlington IS a man of sterling worth and unim- peachable integrity, loyal repub- iican and true to Arizona, always. Mir. Darlington resigned and in the readjustment of territorial appoin- tees another superintendent of the prison was selected.
 The governor holds the ex super iutendent in the highest esteem and has no complaint whatever to make of him.
 The reporter questioned the gov ernor regarding the charges made against Superintendent Darlington by certain territorial newspapers ''Thev are utterly false and with out any foundation whatsoever" re- piled the governor, land you may state that the change of superinten- dents was in DO way affected by the accusations of Mir. Dorringtou's en- emies. There was no ground for complaint and no consideration was taken of the alleged charges. - Phenix Herald.

A REDUCTION IN STAMPED EN-
 VEIOPES.

The cost of stamped envelopes IS to be reduced. This is made possi ble by the extremely low bids re- ceiyed for the work. An order from the postmaster general on the sub feet may be expected in the near future. The government makes a slight advance in the price over the actual cost of the envelopes to cover the cost of handling.
 In 1874 the puce of the envelopes most used by the public was S2.S a thousand to the government. and the people had to pay S3.2O thou sand. The profit to the government under those figures was 30 cents a thousand, and, as over 3OO,OOO,OOO are used, it will be seen an immense sum of money is paid out for this item alone.
 Four years ago the department awarded a contract upon a bid of SI.3O a thousand for the same en- velope, and figured on selling them to the people at Sl.SO thousand. The government will be enabled to furnish envelopes under the new contract at a much lower price. It is understood that the reduction will be in the neighborhood of 5O cents thousand.
 The schedule of the bids has been completed. Under the new bids, the government will save during the life of the contract Sl, ,2S3,siS.6i. Under the current contract the gov ernment is paying S73s.s3l.22 per annum for its stamped envelopes and newspaper wrappers. The new bid knocks this down to $4ls,S69O6 Der annum.

William Casey, 6 young man only 28 years old, was shot and killed near Phenix on Sunday morning. Young Casey was a fine specimen of physical manhood, but possessed of a quarrelsome disposition. On the Sunday previous in a quarrel he broke a mans leg, and on Sunday morning before before being shot had knocked man named Marian down for the alleged criticism of his act of the previous Sunday. He then started towards a man named Moudy with the avowed intention of doing him up. Moudy warned him to stop or he would shoot. Casey kept advancing, when Moudy shot him through the heart. A man who is always hunting ''scrsp" sooner or later wakes up the wrong man.
 San Jose, California, has found Q most efficient method of blocking the use of the public and high schools of that city as a political hashery for the keeping of the po- litical friends of politicians.
