Congress Can Settle AGuinaIdO.

| Aguinaldo is relying almost solely upon
| the action of Congress. He hopes, and so
| he has declared to his followers, that when
| Congress meets in December it will de-
| eide to abandon what he terms the i'm
! perialist policy and this bloody work,
| and hand the islands over TO the Filipinos,
meaning by Filipinos, Aguinaldo. There
| fore, he counsels his followers to stand
I firm and so conduct themselves that the
| American Congress will order complete
surrender to them
| Congress can put end to this adven-
turer very quickly He has been led to
| suppose by his comparatively few but very
| noisy sympathizers in this country that
| President Mckinley is about the only Amer
| lean citizen who believes in putting down
| the insurrection. He has great faith in At
| kinson and Boutwell,, in Lentz and Altgeld,
and he believes most thoroughly in Brother
Bryan. From these gentlemen he thinks he
has discovered that the great bulk of
American citizenship believes with them.
Congress, therefore, should act promptly
and let him understand just where he does
stand.
The report of the Philippine commission
ers has done very much to place the true
condition Of affairs in the Philippines be-
| fore this nation. Only those persons who
are thoroughly fixed in their ways and can
| not listen to reason can support AguinaldO
after this report. All who We're honestly
| doubtful no longer can have doubts. Least
| of all should any Congressman refuse to
| support the commissions policy. The news

| will urge upon Congress the immediate pas
| sage of joint resolution declaring the I'M
alterable position of this country. Such a
| resolution would set forth that this govern
| ment intends to suppress the instruction,
and then to grant under the sovereignty of
| the United States the broadcast kind of To-
| cal self-government
| Such a resolution, the authoritative proc
| iamat1on of Congress, would come pretty
| close to ending both Aguinaldo and his In
surreCtionists.

CarbOffc Acid and Suicide.
From the New York Herald.

FROM inc New YORK Herald.
The way the suicides are advertising the
poisonous qualities of carbolc acid makes
1t more and more fashionable to use the
drug for the purpose indicated. With the
desperate and the weakminded the power
of imitation manifests itself as directly in
choosing this particular means for self de
StructiOn as in stimulating the original pur-
pose of the act.
In view of the ease with which the article
can be obtained in any pharmacy it be-
comes matter of public policy to restrict
its sale within the legitimate limits of
safety to life. Although an article of ord-
nary commerce, made such by It's disin-
fecting properties, there does not seem to
be any reason WY it should not be classed
with other poisons of its kind and sold only
under certain guaranteed conditions of
proper and legitimate use.
If it could be understood by those con-
tcmpating self-destruction that carbolic
acid was very difficult to obtain unless the
purchaser was properly identified we should
not only have fewer deaths, but fewer
temptations to that end 1t is the readiness
with which this means can be adopted that
often determines the end, especially as in
suicide the governing factor is ofttimes
merely a transient impulse. If the drug
gst will always make sure of his customer
he may never be an accessory to prevent
BILE murder.

Must Main tain It's Rights.

The great trade stake of the future is
recognized III all industrial nations to be
the rapidly developing Chinese demand for
manufactured goods, and the United States
has only to maintain its present prestige
in the orient and to continue its present
progress in manufactures to get the lions
share of that trade.
Whether China is to be dismembered and
divided up among the great powers which
are contending for dominion there, or is to
maintain its integrity as a nation by reason
of the inability of the European nations to
agree on the parts that each is to acquire,
the United States must maintain the rights
of trade that it has secured by treaty with
the Chinese, and a firm clear policy, pur-
sued without any hesitancy or deviation
and backed by the constant presence of
powerful warships in oriental seas, will ac-
complish this result and keep China omen
to American goods, whatever other nations
may be shut ou- of different sections of the
kingdom.
