As one reads the papers they
form many opinions Of the war
in the Philippines. Following is
an extract from letter From
Sergeant Woolley. under date of
February sth:
I'VE are having little trouble
with the natives. Last Saturday
night at 10 o'clock they fired on
our outpost and then the fight
started and has been going on ev-
er since. We have got $4,000
men beside two regulars Of artil
larry and we have about 1S miles
of a firing line. 1t was estimated
TODAY by a captain OF the native
army, that was taken prisoner,
that the loss of the native amy
was between seven and eight
thousand killed and about ten
thousand wounded. Our chief
sergeant told me today that our
loss, killed wounded and missing
was $50 1t seems fun fer our

the battle field today coming to
town had to tie handkerchief
over my Eose to keep out the
smell of dead natives. They are
burying them us fast as they can.
| don't think we will have much
more fighting with them. The
battery threw 4 inch shell into
bunch OF about 400 today and
you could see n!ggers running for
an hour. We have orders to kill
every niger we see. and burn
every house and town. AT night
the boom of cannon, the crack OF

The rapid growth of the fund for the
family of Gen. Lawton, and the assurance
that it will speedily and easily reach the
handsome fgure desired by the projectors
testify to the unstinted admiration felt
throughout the country for the services of
a genuine hero. That it would have eased
his dying moments had he known that his
countrymen would respond thus to the
needs Of his family Is, of course, certain,
but that such knowledge would have made

great corporations whose agents these men
were.
Here is one of the dangers of the trust
which the people have been quick to appre-
ciate. II not only absorbs all competition
by first cutting prices and driving the small
dealer out of business, but it acquires a
great political power through the employ
ment of large numbers of workers whose
votes may be influenced. The enormous
capitalization of these trusts. too, gives
them a resource for campaigning in their
own interests which counts heavily at
times. The corporations which control the
butter limitations are known now to be
bringing all their tremendous influence to
bear to secure these pardons.

ence of the oleo trust to nuiiify all the
work of prosecution. encourage the whole

the oleo laws from the books as innocuous
statutes incapable of enforcement The
issue is clearly defined in the premises. be-

farmers on the one side and the interests
of the trust on the other. An opportunity
is at hand to afford an object lesson in
practical trust regulation and repression by
permitting the law TO take its course.

Is it not just possible that Consul Ma
crun's desertion of his post is being over
laid with too much speculation as to the
probable cause? 1t is limited that his SYM
pathies were so strongly pro-Boer he found
himself unwilling to serve the English even
in an official capacity. 1t is said that his
only intimate friend in Pretoria was
prominent Boer official. and that he was
absolutely under this mans thumb. 1t is
limited that he possesses some highly i'm
portant secret information bearing on the
row between the Beers and the English
and that his action will stand justified
when he submits this upon his arrival to
the State Department. And much more of
deep, dark, creepy character.
1t does not appear that Mr. Macrum
proved unequal to his task prior to the
breaking out of hostilities. The duties of
the Office in times of peace are those of
the ordinary consulate. He had sought the
place. and there is nothing going to show
that he was disconnected. That he should
have made himself agreeable to the Boer
officials with whom he was thrown Is alto
sether to his credit. In doing that he was
merely executing a part, and an important
part, of his commission. His business was
with the Beers, and he was wise in cult

CATION from New York TO the democratic
national convention pledged to vote for
him for the presidential nomination. The
snap convention" as IL was known, be-
came the subject of a great deal of sharp
criticism. Mr.. Hill was denounced in some
quarters for moving in the premises so far
in advance of the usual time for taking up
that question: and when, despite his sup
port at home thus obtained, he was de-
feated at Chicago for the nomination he
sought it was asserted that his sreediness
had been very properly rebuked.

is not over whether Mr.. Root, or Mr.. Wood

Of controlling the delegation and speaking

The contest between the democratic fac

cratic candidates than with the question of
party regularity and future control of the
party organization in the state. Mr. Croker
cares as little about Mr.. Bryan as does Mr.

under the domination of Tammany Hall in

From the Cincinnati Commercial II ibune

The [Europeanl powers did not interfere
during our civil war because they were
watching the temper of the American ma
ton. They saw that the nation was rising
to its emergencies; that the old England
had bequeathed its bulldog temper to the
new. They see now that the reyerses in
South Africa serve merely to arouse once
more the indomitable bulldog temper of
this, which Is the greatest race of con-
querors since Rome. America, in 1860, in
a peaceful mood, was a more promising
subject of attack than when, with straining
muscles but with blazing eyes. the nation
was gripping its burden in the blacklist
hour of the war. Britain, year ago, was
better subject of attack than she is to-
day, with the bulldog temper well aroused.
The powers are not such fools as not to
know this. and unless hysteria gets possess
sion of them, or some new and unforeseen
contingency should arise, they will not In
