TO subdue the islands

Washington, June 1.-THE president is
now confronted with such condition in
the Philippines that there is growing be-
lief here that he will have to call out the !
volunteers provided by law or else take the
consequences of a terrible disaster to the
army of General Otis.
There ATE two members of the cabinet
who favor calling out the volunteers and
have so advised the president. His mind
does not seem TO be fully made up as yet
and It is said that he will leave on his
Eastern trip without taking any definite
action. The statement came from an au-
thoritative source today that the president
would not take any action until the return

president to reinforce the army OF Otis by

To the long list of private soldiers who
in their letters home have lifted the curtain
and allowed their friends to catch here
and there glimpse of the shameful pro-
ceedings in the Philippines for which this
country is being made responsible, must
now be added one from captain in the
regular army Capt. Mark l.. Meisey, of
the 10Th U. S. infantry, whose excellent
reputation in Bangor, Me-, is vouched for
by the Bangor Commercial, writes thus to
his father, under date of May II :
"We kill good many of the insurgents,
but by no means escape punishment our
selves. The volunteers have done splendid
fighting, there is no doubt of that The
great criticism to be made on them is
their utter disregard of the laws of civilized
warfare. heard man of the Montana
regiment state that when he had a new
revolver issued to him he tried it on an in
offensive native, who was padding boat
out in the stream The revolver proved
to be a good one, for the native fell over
dead into the water. He thought it was
good joke. He also told of one of his com
rades, who when native (wounded) asked
him for water, kicked him in the head
until he died. Filipinos claim that their
women are ravished, and guess with a
good deal Of truth So far have heard Of
no such disgraceful acts being done by
any of the regulars. In my opinion, the
hatred created by these acts of wanton
cruelty will make anything like cordial
feeling between the insurgents and Amer

The Standing Army OF Monopoly.

When lgnatius Donnelly in Caesar :

described state of things in which group
Of capitalists, with its own private armies
and aerial nRvies had become the ruling
power of the world, reducing the nominal
governments TO the position of rudimen-
tary survivals, and when II. &. Wells, in
when the Sleeper Wakes" foresaw II
similar condition of things with a council
of administrators of n worldwide private
estate rs the power above Presidents and
Kings, they were not wandering very far
from the limits of the practicable.
Suppose, for instance, that the recent
| railroad consultations should 90 on to
their logical conclusion, and bring the
whole transportation system of tho United
States into the hands of one corporation
! That corporation would then have in its
direct employ at least million mcn-the
strongest, most hardest, most resourccful
and self lfreiant men in America
The wages of railroad employees in 1897
ran down from an average of 80 "a per day
for the 4, 800 general officers to an average
81. l6 for the III .752 trackmen. Suppose
the men in control of the new combination
should resolve upon n change of policy.
Suppose they should determine, instead of
grinding down their employees, to identify
their interests with their own, and turn
them into mercenary army devoted to its
leaders. Suppose they should say
thereafter the minimum rate of pay on
our roads shall be five dollars day, and
the public can foot the bill"
What could the unorganized public do

And it must be remembered that the

roads would also control the principal in

of thousands of employees. The Standard

Pennsylvania and other railways, control |

Star steamship lines, the Cramp shipbuild |

the iron mines OF Minnesota, great steel |
works at Cleveland, copper mines in
Montana, gold, silver and lead mines in
Idaho winter hotels in Florida and uni
versities in Chicago, Syracuse and else
where. These enterprises, with the scores
of others of which they are samples, would
doubtless add another million hands to the
million marshalled by the Railroad Trust.
Where would the national standing army
