WHERE THE BLAME LIES.

Responsibility for the trusts culpability for the fostering of these monopo!ies and acquie escence in their encroachments upou the business life of the country rest entirely upon the republican party. The special privilege policy oi that party has given inn pstus and multiplied g :-owth to an evil which has within fifteen months entered every ay- petitive energies of trade with the s,.t tfocat- ing force of capitalized billions.
 !, Mir. Cookery. Missourian aud a democrat, fixed this responsibility Upon the republic ,cars when, during the Iebate on tha D.ngley bill he offered ar amendment exempting from duty all prticles on the dutiable list which could he shown to the satisfaction of the secretary of the treasury to hay been made the subject of control and monopoly by a trust His amendment was rejected by motion of Dingley himself, by an orerwhelm- ing partisan majority.

 and the rest of the lighting will be on the guerrilla order. This victory will mean almost the complete control of the Luzon island in which is located the strong hold of the insurgents. After this island is under control of the American soldiers, the re- mainder of the fighting will probably be done by small forces, and the time that if will take to get the remainder of the small islands under control cannot be estimated,

CUBA INGHAT. JUDE.

Though Genor 6 meg has not al- wave done exactly right thing, t' ere can be dou t tn he was alw TVS ac- tuated, in al tn he dil sine he be- came associate with the struggle for Cuban freedom, by his desire to serve the Cuban people and! promote their welfare. That his ambition at times got the better of his jud ment is doubt less ts'rue, but that fact does not discredit the honesty of his purpose.
 As these things are so, it is but na- tural that he shoul become victim of the ipgratitude of those whom Ire served. Because, while he is still as ardently in favor of ultimate Cuban independence as ever he was, he recognized the neces- sity of preparation for self government, under the guidance of the United States, he is being abused by some of the newspapers hat are published in Hav- ana, They call him "traitcr" because he does not foolishly in.ist upon in- mediate independence, which could not and would not be granted.
 It is not alone the way of the trans gressor that is hard: He that does much for many is likely to find his path way quite as rocky as sometimes is that of him who has wrongod few. Let him be in any way connected with politics, and he will feel the partisan scourges that are wielded by hands that know no justice. .-

FEW men come up to the highest measure of success, says and exchange. Some fall through tImidity or lack of nerve. They are unwilling to take the risks incident to life and fail through fear Ill venturing on ordinary dutivs. They lack pluck. Others fail through imprudence. lack of discretion, care O. sound judgment. They over estimate the future, build air castles, and venture beyond their depth, fail and fall. Oth- CTS again fail through lack of appIica- ton and perseverance,. They begin with good resolves but they soon get tired of that and want q change think ing tiTey can do much better at some thing else. Thus they fritter life away and succeed at nothing. Others waste time and money and fail through ruin- ous habits. tobacco, beer and whisky spoil them for business, dt i've their best customers from them and scatter their prospects of success.

Foley Came Up Missing.

4 little more than two weeks ago Pete Foley, a well known Tucson carpenter, went to Helvetia to build house for Sam Finley, who is in business at that camp. He worked couple of days and was overcome with an iIlues5 which brought on | fit. Ho straishtcned out ike a dead man, but alter hard work was brought around, and was thought to be all right. He walked a"ou:td tor an hour or two, when he disappeared from the camp, and has not since been heard from, though diiigent search has been made by Mir. Finley in every Ij- rrcti0n even as far as N0gales. When he left he had on blue shirt and car penter's hlue overaIls.
 It is hoped that he has turned up at some other camp. If not, there is little doubt that he wandered off, crazy, and perished from huDger.-Tucson Citizen
 Foley is well known in Bisbee, having worked here nearly a year before going to Tucson the last time.
 4 person who has not been up the various canyons leading into Bjsbee during the past few months has little conception of how the city is growing and spreading out in every direction. Hundreds of residences, business houses and buildings of all kinds, classes and descriptions are going up in every direc- ton, and the advancement of the city in the building line is simply wonder. full. During the whole history of the camp there has not been as much i'm prOvement male as is being done at present. The class of buildings that are being put mp are much moro expensive and home like than those that are gen. erally put up in mining camp. Some very extensive improvements are con templated around the Copper Queen shelter, but we are at present not able to glvo the full details.

CANCERS DEADLY!

This fearful disease often first appears as a mere scratch, a pinple, or lump in the breast, too small to attract any notice, until, in many cases, the deadly disease is fully developed.

4 NegntiNe Platform.

The democracy would be in a poor posi-
ton to seek the support Of the people were
ii 10 adopt the Harrity platform. No For
eign Alliance, No Trusts, No Imperialism. -
Such purely negative bid for votes would
make but faint appeal to the American
nation. The watchword of the United
States has always been positive in tone,
progressive in nature. The republic was
founded upon an affirmation, not denial.
The parties which have achieved the great
est success have sought TO establish posi-
tive doctrines. Negation is occasionally
necessary, and is often justified when car
riad TO the extent Of force. But no sub
sJdntial hold was ever secured on the SYM
pathies Of the people by persistent course
of Reputation. The evils assailed must be
paramount and unquestioued. TO justify a
negative program. With the single cxcep-
ton OF the trusts, the proposed Harrity
platform is but a charging of windmills,
which exist only in the speech of the dema-
gogues.

phase upon the situation in Luzon and

time corral,ed in the Gordon drawn by Gems
Macarthur Lawton, Young and Wheaton
Ar Unofficial report has 1t that Agunaido
ard his party escaped from Tarlac only by
Disgusting themselves as peasants and max
ing their way northward just ahead of the
American advance. This statement would
seem to coincide with Gen. Young's report
just received. When it first announced
that Aguinaldo had probably escaped to
the mountains it-was supposed. he had gone
through in a northeasterly dir ction, max
ing use of the gap between Lawton and
Wheaton, which has since been closed.
But now it would seem that he kept more
closely to the coast of the gulf and was
later in his escape than at first appeared
Likely If he has but 300 in his party he is
probably hopeless of maintaining an army
at present. 1t is little else than a personal
fight. Gen. Young is provided with cav
airy and is aided by Macabebe scouts, who.
being acquainted with the country, can at
times even keep pace with the mounted
forces. Thus equipped, it is within the
possibilities that the American column will
soon overtake the fleeing Tagals, who,
travelling in carts-presumably drawn by
bul, ocks water buffaloes-can not make
very good time. Gen. Young notes that
there are women in the party, which fact
would tend also to retard the progress of
the flight. Benguet lies about seventeen
miles inland from the gulf and Bayombong
lies about thirty miles further inland, due
east from Benguet The roads prob
ably as bad for the Aguinaldo party
for the American troops and the journey
to the proposed new capital is sure to be
attended by many difficulties. 1t is thus
within the chances that the Tagal leader
will be taken.
