MAKING BOGUS LAWS.

The adoption recently by the senate o1
what purported to be an antitrust
measure ought not to deceive any one
The history of that measure Is brief but
it is instructive. Representative Hen
messy, of Ramsey, introduced the origi-
nal measure aimed al the ascendancy
of the trusts, framed on lines which had
been adjudicated on. That measure
was cast aside in favor of a scheme in
troduced by Republican senator which
in its exemption of certain interests
from its operation is palpably open to
the objection of being class legislation.
1t was known to be such by every
lawyer who had considered its provi-
sions, and it was passed with the knowl-
edge that it was open to that objection
1t is on its face antitrust legislation and
as such answers the purposes Of Its
authors 1t is not every Morgan. how
ever, that is found to be good enough
till after election.

The Barker bill, s. F. 2s1, will be taken
UP IN the house as special order at
1Q:30 this morning The bill Is a duplicate
of the Staples bill. which was vetoed by
the governor several days ago.
Mr.. Staples (Rep.). of Dakota, called
the bill from the table yesterday morn
Ing and offered several amendments which
after discussion We're adopted. The
changes in the bill make state hospitals
read state asylumS. Provision Is made
for two cottage asylums. one at Anoka
and another at Hastings The cottages

and neither was the bill as he wanted
it. The Judgment OF one man or sixty

CHEAPEST FREIGHT SERVICE.

One result of the invasion of English
markets by American manufactured prod
ucts is an agitation there for cheaper
railway freight. When the astonished
manufacturers of iron in Birmingham
found Fittsburg pig invading their mar
ket and actually underselling them
iron could be made in Pittsburg, pay
$3.50 a ton railway freight to Boston,
about the same to Liverpool and $3.50 a
ton thence to Birmingham. They were
awakened to a serious factor in their
competition by learning that the iron was
carried at less cost from Pittsburg to
Boston, zoe miles, than from Liverpool to
Birmingham, distance of ninety-seven
miles. Pursuing. their Inquiries OH other
lines they found that while the average
ton mile coal rate In England is two
cents, in the United States 1t Is about
One-third Of a cent They also found
that the American coal car had a carry
ing capacity Of forty tons, while that of
England had but eight These are but
specific instances that go to prove the
general fact that the United States have
cheaper freight service than any country
in the world. that in England being lower
than on the continent

SIMPLE AND ORIGINAL.

The method Of disposing of rotten army
supplies said to have been recommended
by the commissary general at Washing
ton. possesses the double advantage of
simplicity and originality. 1t is to de-
stroy the tainted supplies before any Of
ficial action can be taken as to their
condition.
Such scheme saves much trouble and
avoids unnecessary publicity. If it be
true. as recent Investigations seem to
establish. that much of the embalmed
beef. especially the outside portions of
1t. is tainted before leaving the refriger-
ating plants of the contractors, the
scheme of the commissary general indi-
Gates little more than a prudent fore
sight, exercised on behalf Of the con-
tractors. The kindliest relations seem to
have existed from the bsginning between

OUR FALSE POSITION.

Even the most superficial observer OF
events in the Philippines has been able
to anticipate the grand difficulty which
would confront American arms in the
island of being harassed for an indef-
mite period by the insurgents. The his
tory of the Spanish attempts at the sub
lection of the natives taught that lesson
rialistic spirit, our wise men at Wash
ington were apparently incapable of con-
ceiving of any prospect but that of the
speedy conquest of the islands, with a
adventurous and speculative adherents of
the administration.
The latest Manila dispatches seem to
indicate very clearly that a true realiza-
ton OF the situation is at last presenting
itself to the imperial intellect. "One
of our leading generals is the imme-
diate authority for the expressed convic-
| ton that an army of 100000 men will be
needed for the complete subjugation Of
the islands
1t is not necessary to eXaggerate the
difficulties of the situation, nor to under
estimate in the least the splendid dis
play OF American valor which is being
made each succeeding day. Every Ameri-
can instinctively hopes and believes that.
whatever disposition may be ultimately
made Of the islands, the natives will be
compelled at an early day to lay down
their arms. The wish is, no doubt, IA
ther to the thought with all of u.s. But 1t
is no more than a wish. Men who can
fight as the Filipinos have fought against
the forces of the most enlightened and
Valorous nation extant are not to be
treated lightly. At this time there is
a far more distinct prospect of a condi-
ton of chronic warfare than there is of
any early termination of hostilities.
And what a wretched situation it is, at
best, for a nation to be in whose animat-
ing purpose it is in the conduct of its in
ternal concerns, as well as in it's relations
with other peoples, to promote and foster
the principles of civil liberty! Not all the
fallacies of British jingoism or American
imperialism will permit us to close our
eyes to the truth that we are conducting
war of conquest against the people Of
the Philippines, or that they are valfantly.

day by day, complaining that there Is
but little of glory to be had in, as they
put it. fighting niggers." No wonder
that they demand their discharge. since
the war for which they enlisted is ended.
1t is no part of the national mission to
tight any people whatever And the
longer we continue engaged as we are, the
greater will be our loss In national dig
nifty and self-respect
Rather than see this wretched drama
protracted. let us have that 100, 900 men en-
rolled. We have placed ourselves In a.
hopelessly false position, and the sooner
we get out Of it with the least possible
loss of prestige the better.

A STRENUOUS YOUNG MAN.

The young man who climbed San Juan
on the principle that nothing succeeds
like success has forestalled the action
of his fellow imperialists at Washington
and has started to swing around the
circle on his own account.
The Strenuous Life of which he
breaches is somewhat cleverly attested
by his taking Old Time by the forelocs
In his usual jaunty fashion, and antici-

PEACE REIGNS

The formal exchange of ratifications of
the treaty of peace by the governments
OF Spain and the United States which
took place yesterday at Washington
brings the war between those two na
tions to an effectual close. We are once
more at peace with every nation on
earth, unless we choose to regard the fol-
hs"ers of Aguinaldo as nation, a con-
clusiOr which 1t would require some
what of a stretch of the Imagination to
arrive at
The war with Spain has passed into
history. The most important results OF
that war have yet to be realized. It's
effects upon the two nations Immediately
engaged have been of comparatively small
importance compared with its effect
upon the destinies of the races of Cuba.
Porto Rico and the Philippines.
1T may be that through the influence
OF our imperialistic politicians we have
yet to realize the true significance of
that war upon our own destinies. But
from present indications the brief expe
rfence which we have already had with
the natives of Cuba and the PbiIinn;nes
Will suffice as an effective warning
against any further interference with
the concerns of other nations or peo-
pies.
Upon the liberation of Cuba from Snan-
Ism domination through our intervention
every American has reason to congratu-
late himself and his fellow Americans.
What the outcome of that liberation
upon the fortunes of the Cuban people
may be is but measurably our affair IF
hghtlng for the overthrow of brutal
despotism, and maintaining the contest
for years under the most serious disad
Nantages and at the heaviest odds is
proof OF the Cuban fitness for self-goy-
ernment, then that people deserve to be
free and have absolute control of their
own destinies as a race. That they had
made such great advances under Spau
ish rule in internal production and for
eign commerce affords strong proof that
they can be relied on to develop the re-
sources of their own country, and main
tain those conditions of social and po
litical peace which are essential to the
existence of every commercial nation.
The formal restoration of peace thus
made will necessitate the early discharge
of those American volunteers who are
unwilling to remain in the service There
will be but a small proportion of them
that will consent to remain in service of
the character of that demanded around
Manila, and steps must forthwith be
taken for a general recruiting for the
regular army to- bring 1t up numerically
to the standard prescribed by the fool
ish measure which has recently passed
congress. There will be nothing In that
circumstance. however, to justify any
belief that the American people will con-
sent to continued maintenance of any
large standing army. The restoration
once more of our military force to a
peace standard cannot be delayed longer
than the period necessary to uuell the
prevailing disturbance In the Philippines.
