In our legislature on Monday af-
ternoon last the House, by one ma
jority, defeated the Bush State rail
road bill. The measure authorized
the State board, of which Gov. Jones
is at the head, to build a state rail
road with convict labor donated the
state for the purpose, and authoriz-
ed the issuance of bonds and the
leasing of the property after compile
ton. The bill passed the Senate six
weeks ago. The clerk was about to
read the bill the last time when Mr..
Head, of Little River, moved to Law
it on the table. The roll was called
amid the greatest confusion and tur-
MOL, the leaders of the factions GO
ing to and fro among the members,
electioneering for votes Attorney
General jeff DAVIS also took con-
Spicuous part, working hard to de-
feat the bill, When Speaker Vande-
venter announced that the bill had
been tabled by the vote of 43 to AZ
the Attorney General threw up his
hat and yelled like a Comanche In
dian. The House also tabled the
Hall land grant bill, which also pass
ed the Senate several weeks ago.
This measure proposed to give to
any corporation 500 acres of state
lands for every mile of road built in
the state.

The Flight in the Philippines.

Latest dispatches from Manila
say that Major General Lawton has
returned with his exedition to
Manila, by order of General Otis,
after evacuting the towns of Paete,
Longos, Lumbar, Gasaian and San
ia Cruz, from which the rebels had
been driven.
General Lawton'S troops are need
ed in the movement north of Manila,
and Laguna de Bay will be lett to the
insurgents until the rainy season,
when the water will be higher, thus
enabling the army gunboats to get
into the rivers. The launches cap
tured from the insurgents are to be
returned to their former owners in
Manila.
General Lawton said in an an
interview:
with the forces | have there is no
doubt could go through the whole
island; but if Government is to be
established, it will be necessary to
garrison all the towns, 1t would
take 100000 men to paeify the isl

doning the captured territory"
Dr. Apaeible, head OF the Filipino
junta at Hong Kong, says, 1--WE
have 10000 stands OF arms and go
600 troops in the field and sufficient
material to make cartridges to sup
ply our troops four for years to come.
"Our ally is the climate of the
Philippines. Your bullets cannot
kill one of our men where disease
will kill 20 of yours once YOU begin
your advance into the interior. We
will harass your advance at the
same time that we welcome it.
ave cannot fight pitched battles
with you and we do not need to.
We shall be here to-day and there to-
morrow, attacking, and then flying.

The Mississippi Valley Democrat,
thus tersely and wisely comments up
on the action of the Arkansas Legis-
lature in the enactment of the anti
trust law. 1t says: "Our virile and
progressive neighboring State of Ar
kansas is fortunate as well as enter
prising. The Legislature recently
enacted stringent law against
trusts, and the States Attorney i'm
mediately set the ball to rolling by
vigorous prosecution ofthe syndicat-
edinsurance companies. The compa-
mics responded by closing their doors,
cancelling their policies, and instruct
ing their agents to quit business. This
left the citizens and business interests
without either lite or fire insurance,
and resulted in CONSERVATION and
excitement all over the state Many
of the business men, with large in
terests at stake, petitioned the Leg
islature to undo what it had recent
ly accomplished; but that body very
properly refused to heed these APP
peals. The State cannot and will
not recede from it's position, and
thereby surrender its sovereignty to
the insurance companies. The ar
rogance Of the companies in refus-
ing to obeying the law and precipitat-
ing the existing crisis, is ample justi-
fcation for the State in throttling this
trust monster before it was strong
enough to garotte the State. Our
neighbor now has the opportunity
of her life. The Legislature should
Immediately enact a law furnishing
insurance for life and property by
NAiN DNoAN' ul0 Ndll DE uOHt LOT one
half the rates charged by the insur-
anee companies, and yet afford the
commonwealth a handsome revenue
from that source. Arkansas has al
ready gone into the railroad business
on her own account, and now is the
time for her to try her hand at the
insurance business also. Her people
have the energy and spirit necessary
to insure the success ofsueh an enter
prise, and the Legislature should at
once afford them the opportunity.
Vigorous measures like this will soon
settle the trust evil. The trusts have
shown MS how to do it, If they can
combine for individual profit at the
expense Of the general public, let the
the whole people combine and hand
le trust industries for the good Of all.

ATTORNEY General Griggs, doubt
less acting under orders from Mr..
Mckinley, has made a play to shift
the responsibility for his recent queer
letter about trusts from the shoulders
of the administration, by proceeding
against the Chesapeake and Ohio
Association, generally known as the
soft coal trust, under the Sherman
antitrust law. The suit was in
stltuted in Cincinnati, and will
be directed by the Solicitor General
of the L. S. The public will watch
the prosecution of this case closely,
owing to the Attorney General
having so recently stated in writing,
that trusts could not be reached by
Federal laws.
