METROPOLITAN.

The fourth Of the series of Sunday after
noon concerts by the Seibert orchestra at the
metropolitan was largely attended A most
excellent orchestral programme was rendered
in addition to which several members of the
Sign of the Cross company appeared in
vocal selections. The selection of the num-
bers for the programme was excellent the
classical and popular elements being well
balanced.
The opening number was the press Club"
by Atwater. a stirring march, which was
rendered with much spirit. Mendelssohn's s
grand overture to .'Athalia" followed The
most pleasing number was the orchestral
suite by Matt. consisting of three movements,
a pastoral, I'm the Meadow romanza
Love Scene,'' and lscherzo ''Village Rev
els" given for the first time in America
The pastoral movement was exceptionally
delicate, and taxed the members of the or
chestra and the skill of Prof. Seibert as a
leader. In this movement delicate aria for
the flutes, accompanied by the 'cellos, was
introduced, which was very effective. The
overture, Der Wanderers Ziel" by Suppe.
and Kings fantase. 'Hertenleben in den
Aipen," were greeted with enthusiastic ap-
plause. to which the orchestra responded with
several stirring two-steps as encores. Miss
Agnes Scott and Miss Maude Beach, contralto
and soprano, of the Sign of the Cross COM

The Proposed Trial of Gen. Miles.

1t was known by Gen. Miles and ap-
preciated by his friends that he did not
stand well in the favor of Secretary
Alger. Gen. Miles is not a West Point
graduate; but from his long experience
in the army, closely identified with
soldiers like Gen. Sheridan, Gen. Crook,
not to speak of the favorable opinions
emanating from Gen Grant and Gen.
Sherman, he may be regarded as a
model commanding officer.
When the Cuban war began Gen.
Miles, in the very nature of things.
should have been delegated with full
authority to act as commanding gen
eral. Little by little his authority was
clipped away from him, until along in
June he appeared before the country
as sort of broomstick bereft of every
thing valuable. Gen. Shafter was
sleeping in his tent off Santiago, and
was being exploited by the secretary of
war as the authorized hero of that
campaign. Gen. Miles paid visit to
Cuba. Strengthened out the ugly lines
that had been growing UP there. and

Cured week ago in connection with
railway shares. Every thoughtful man
who has read his daily paper during
the past six months with special refer
ence to the market could readily trace
the influence of Improvement in natural
conditions. This class of observers
could not have failed, likewise, to look
with much concern upon the develop
ment of that spirit which took hold of
the market a fortnight ago and ele-
waited the prices of stocks far beyond
In many respects. their reasonable
worth.
There has been associated with this
speculative spirit bulge in the price
OF wheat as completely misunderstood,
so far as general cause and effect are
concerned. as many of the transactions
in railway shares. The business affairs
of this country. generally speaking, are
reposing on very substantial basis.
Our exports have been enormous, as
figures already published go to show
There are many business men in this
locality and in the Northwest general
ly who believe that the price of wheat
is not so high as it really should be-
But may not some of these optimists
be mistaken in their Judgment? What
is there in the situation to put wheat
at any higher figure. at the present
time? A little later on, conditions may
exist which shall bring this cereal sew

above its present price. There has
been little falling off in the ex-
port demand; but at the same time
there have been thoroughly justifable

poses to great advances in price Our

To what extent this yield can be
manipulated in the interests of the
Northwestern farmer is largely ex-
plainable through his own treatment
OF the commodity. The deliveries have
been fairly liberal from all sources
There are few evidences of withhold
ing of wheat for the mere sake of
banking against future contingencies
There are many evidences of the fact
I that farmers have exercised an extra
ordinary degree of common sense IN
that they have availed themselves Of

themselves with funds for meeting the
work of the forthcoming crop year Ar

the past six months. will not these
producers be justly regarded as among
the wisest of their brethren?

Hits the Banking Bill.

1t seems to Us that the bill before the
present legislature introduced by Senator
McGill of St. Paul, to permit capitalists to
establish branch banks of central institu-
ton in the towns and cities of the state,
should be defeated. The state banking sys-
tenn of Minnesota Is a good one, and where
its provisions have been honestly lived up
to there have been no failures or embarrass-
ments Indeed. with one or two exceptions
traceable to complications with city banks
there have been no suspensions or failures
among the country state banks and they
weathered the deadly financial panic of 1893
with a success that shows the substantial
basis upon which founded. These banks are
generally owned and managed by citizens
of the towns in which located have all the
capital necessary to accommodate the busi-
ness wants of the community, have recipro-
cal interest with those doing business with
them, and are not oppressive or excessive
in their demands The plan by Mr.. McGill
provides for branch banks with small capital
scattered all over the. state, with a common
center at st. Paul or Minneapolis. The panic
of 1893 showed how vicious the Business
and how rotten the basis upon which the
financial institutions Of the Twin Cities were
founded and operated. State banks, me build
ing and loan associations and even trust
companies went down in dastardly crash of
bad management and abuse of trust, scatter
ing their losses all over the state and which,
properly dealt with, would have sent scores
of men held to be honorable to the peniten-
tiary.
The country members should see that their
constituents are protected against a repeti-
ton of these abuses. and the way to do
it is to stand by their local banks, daily
growing with the growth of the communities
in which located, reciprocal in their b,a-
ness and conducted on principles that are an
assurance of their solvency. The tendency
to syndicates in banks means exaction and
oppression after the local banks are crushed
out. Their object is money making and often
with disregard of the means and methods
by which it is done.-Mankato Review Dem,).

The Mauser Now Becomes tho Amer
lean Missionary.

The Philippine policy Of this admin
tstration has borne its natural fruit-a
fight with the worthless F'ilipinos in
which twenty Americans have been
killed and 125 wounded. More than
that attempts have been made by the
natives to assassinate American off
GERS. This is a foretaste of what will
happen periodically after we have as
sumed the control Of this twenty-mil-
lion-dollar piece of property. Ameri-
can blood and treasure must make an
nual contribution TO the Mckinley
scheme of oivilizing and Christianiz-
ing these savages. Verify the admin
lstIation's project for a benevolent as
similation" of the Filipinos has re-
ceived shock on the very threshold
of its adoption
Something of this nature was to
have been expected. Within a fort
night it has been decided that the SEN
ate should vote on the treaty. Agon-
clio has been in Washington making
observations. Aguinaldo has been
within easy reach of the Manila cable
Within q week we have been notified
that odious press censorship has been
applied to news out of Manila. Some
thing was going on. We know now
what it was. 1t is the half-breed Fill
pino's way of protesting against be-
ing assimilated.
Aguinaldo has made a mistake a.
perfectly natural one; he failed to diff
ferentiate between Americans and
Spaniards. For him it will be an un-
fortunate mistake. Having purchased
him without his consent, we shall now
proceed to subdue him. The affair with
Spain is closed. We shall ratify the
treaty, and having brought peace out
of one war, we shall enter upon an
other, whose purpose shall be subju-
cation, determination if necessary.
The duty of the senate is plain.
Blood must be atoned for with blood.
One satisfying fact. however comforts
us-the missionary spirit which we
have been hugging will be abandoned
The Mauser is the most effective mis-
Sionary under these new circum-
stances. 1t is the body of the Filipino
we want-his immortal soul must suf-
fer at least temporary eclipse We
are bound in honor and by duty to the
flag to treat Aguinaldo and his bar
barians as we have treated our own
Indians. We cannot do less. We are
in for it. The historian will dub it
McKinley's Manila campaign. More
revenue stamps will be issued; more
men and more munitions of war will
be shipped to Manila. The Filipino
war is on.
Aguinaldo must be destroyed. as he
deserves to be.
And yet it must be borne in mind
that many competent observers in
Washington and elsewhere are of the
opinion that all this trouble might
have been averted, had this admins
tration been strong and self-reliant,
and frank in its purposes as to the
F'ilipinos from the outset.
