At meeting of travelling statesmen,

Columbus. the following preamble and
resolution were adopted:
Whereas. during the last eighteen
months trusts have been formed with
out number until to-day we find every
article OF household use controlled by
trusts and combinations; and
Whereas, by comparing prices of 1899
as against those of 1898 we find an
advance of from 80 to $50 per cent. in
every household necessity; and
Whereas, the Hon. Marcus y. Hanna,
the political godfather of the Repub-
lican party, takes great pleasure in de-
clar!ng trusts q good thing; therefore
Resolved, That we denounce the Re
publican party rs the mother Of trusts,
and pledge our best efforts to defea

Such action as that tells strongly
against trusts and the Rcpu blican

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Gov. Tyler'S message will, IL needed.
serve good purpose. It has the ring
of sincerity and in the public interest.
It smacks of no demagogy; but is a
straightforward practical review of the
work of the past years and the prom
Use of the future. The Governor should
be congratulated for the good sense in
NOT taking advantage Of this splendid
opportunity for pyrotechnical display
SO natural to Mr.. Mckinley.
The Governor is not out of sympathy
with the Delinquent Tax-law, but de-
Eres that 1T SHALL BE SO AMEND
ED AS TO DEPRIVE IT OF ITS
1IARDSHIPS. on which he will find
many sympathlzers. He shows that the
act has done good work, while in some
instances harm has resulted.
He hits heavy blow at Trusts, and
after wrestling patiently with them,
comes to the conclusion that ''as whole
some checks on the abuses and oppres-
sions and threatening danger from
great corporations and combines, GER
tain unmistakable additions to the
NsIilIiiHai SOuS VI Jul Ololc I)ilSScQ'
He also desires that officers be held
to the strictest liability. The Governor
might have gone more into details and
given greater satisfaction. He makes
his position well understood however,
in the ominous words,- "unmis taxable
additions to the Criminal Code"
He denls a good blow to buying
votes" or course this is good time
to talk of such subjects; and mes
sage Is a good place. Don't try to stop
people from receiving" money until
the "giver" is stopped.
For years tampering with election re-
turns has-been opef,-af,tl- grant, and
1t Is only by publicly denouncing the
act that the Infamous practice can be
stopped. The politicians OF the State
do not hesitate in some places to elect
any ticket they see proper, and thus
perpetuate their tenure of Office
After referring to the yellow fever
scare he recommends the payment OF
Grimes Battery for services during the
epidemic.
The Governor, in q manner as grace
full as severe, relieves himself Of his
burden of disgust with the politicians
and machine methods by suggesting
that IT do not feel that it is necessary

set forth at length why such change

ed.' ut Isl said he Certainly more
in keeping with our republican institu-
lions that the people choose directly
their representatives." But he gives
another reason for Senatorial primaries,
that legislators would then be chosen
for themselves. and not for the Senator
they favored.
All told. the Governors message will
compare favorably with any similar
document; and in practical details, will
find few equals.

WAR AND THE MILITARY.

During more modern times, certainly
during this century, it seems evident
that public opinion, where it has ex-
listed, has been more responsible for
wars than anything ELSE. The wars
OF Napoleon may be cited as excep-
tons; but he would never have at
tempted what he did but for the pub
lie opinion that egged him on. The
French Revolution developed a war
like spirit among the people, closely
followed by a propagandism of liberty
and popular love Of glory, that made
any war acceptable. OF. course, Ma
poleon took advantage of all this and
directed 1t to his own ends: but at
the height of power, he was always
n politician.
But the dangers from armies and
ambitious Generals chiefly threaten
their own country and people; if we
have them, the more we engage them
in foreign wars, the better The poll
ticiaDs and civilians at home, however,
usually satisfy their aspirations IN
party wars, until the presence Of idle
armies and Generals attract their at
tention; and then. if some prominent
civil officer, or leading politician can
discover q General popular with the
troops who is plant to reasonable
suggestions, q colluslon of the organ
lied forces of the civil power with the
military may ensue, and if 1t does, it
is in vain that the betrayed and dis
i
liberties. History is full of the sue
cesses of such treacherous combina-
tons and conspiracies, with but rare
examples OF victory for the popular
cause; unless discussions divide the
military power into hostile camps.
1t is therefore a very weak apology
for standing armies that they do not
cause most wars between nations
that is, are not eager, as a rule, to
cut each others throats, That may
be true; but the possession Of a large
military force has had much influence
in precipitating wars abroad while
THE GREAT DANGER, as has been
already said, IS IN THE HOME

affairs. Party spirit, too. may pos

.'Pinafore', politics taught, that 1.-THE
burglar is not always il a-burgling;;"
but It has nowhere been recognized, nor
pleaded that his suspension of business
relieves him from the penalties of his
burglares. Yet that seems to be the
administration and Republican view of
certain crimes committed by Mckinley
and his party. "Oh, pshaw!' cries the
Washington Post. chorused by the Re-
publican and goldite press; whether
the administrators policy in the Phil
ippines be right or wrong makes no
difference. as the war will soon be over,
and the issue Will be eliminated from
Raign Of next year begins" No doubt,
that is now the hope of Mckinley and
his partizans, although he began that
abcminable war under the delusion that
it would secure his denomination, and
his boomers are still claiming that it
was at least necessary and justifiable
war. even if unpopular.
So great q crime, however. is not to
be disposed OF by "hurrying 1t to q

Not only Democrats say that. but the
people without regard to party, head

most respected Republican statesmen;
and no matter how Mckinley may at
tempt to "trammel up the consequent
ccs" of his criminal blunder, Bryan,
the Democracy and all the true Ameri-
can people will arraign him at the bar
OF justice and the voice of the coun-
try will pronounce upon him the judg-
ment: "Nevermore be officer of mine!"
The blood Of the Fiipinos cries aloud
from the ground; their desolated land
mourns in the smoke and ashes of cruel
devastation: and their violated liberty
appeals to all Americans for vengeance
and redress. The crime is already done!
The chief criminal and malefactor, who
has so diligently sought to impicate
us all in his treachery and Gtrocity,
would now be glad, no doubt, to escape
the punishment due him for his fla
grant offenses against God, man and
the principles of freedom; but as sure
as the November election of next year
arrives, William Mckinley and his ac-
completes will die the political death
they so richly deserve.

would go along to the next one never
the least bit excited. There were also
two young fellows packing a photo

Feb. 10th at the taking of Caloocan.
They followed us for Sla miles, taking
views. l believe they set their ma
chine a hundred times, for every time
we would stop and look around one
of them would say that he was taking
another shot at us. And there were
great many officers wives out look
ing at the excitement. The Harper S
Weekly correspondent at Manila and
his wife were also close to the lines at
nearly all the battles. with their note
books and pencils, and they also pack
ed pistols with them. He was un-

but did not seem to mind it much.
He just tied cloth around it and
went to work taking notes again.
CAPTURING A BATTERY.
One of the most important deeds
that our regiment, or l would say,
three companies Of us, did, l nearly
forgot to mention. That was at the
capture Of Santa Ann. We drove the
black devils away from two breech-
loading, three-inch Krupp guns Of
latest model, one they had trained on
the bridge that we had to cross the
same day that we took them. The
other was trained on the river and
that one stopped the river gunboat
from going up, as it was only pro-
tected from Mauser bullets and not
from artillery, and it dare not show
up until after we had taken the fort:
and then the mud hen" Gas we call
iD, started to go up the river making
as much noise as the oregon would.
But it has done some very good work
along the river with its rapid
guns. When they would turn one Of
these loose it would make the niggers
hunt the hills
l have sent you some papers and
will send you some more as soon as
can get them as they are at our quar-
ters and we cannot get a chance to go
after anything, but have to remain in
our position as we have been placed
and are threatened with court martial
if we go fifty yards from our regular
beat. This is done, as some of the
boys left their posts and deserted their
companies to go to the firing line. when
their company was not getting a
chance to go and they have TO do some
thing to keep them in town. We lave
had tough time this last three weeks
or more, for since Feb. 3, have not,
nor has any of our company, had our
shoes off to sleep, but one night; and
they get pretty heavy dragging them
around all the time, although We do
get few minutes to ourselves and get
a chance to take bath in the day
time. Every minute | think of throw
Ing mine away and going like the

ones, for it is every regiment the same;
and all have done good work and stood
