ANOTHER CASE OF BARABBAs.

The most devoted and servile of the
Hanna McKinley-Alg combines or
gans is the Washington Post. although
il makes loud claims to independence.
which it backs up with much affected
Indignation at the shameful plot against
Commodore Schley. the hero of San
tiago. and the plot in favor of Captain
Carter. the government thief, who has
stolen 100000.
1t will be observed that both OF these
are personal" cases involving no po-
liticai or party issue of principle or
policy; and in each case. besides. the
Post takes extraordinary pains and
laborious care to absolve Mr.. Mckinley
from the plot. Tha, is it's idea of lin
dependence"
Nevertheless, considering the rela-
tons of the Post to the administration,
it does deserve at least some credit for
its able and vigorous championing Of
Commodore Schley against the ISLANDERS
of the n. Y. Sun. insidiously sustained
by all sorts Of petty machination on the
part OF the Navy Department and Sec
rotary Long. and also for its righteous
flashing OF the Sun, the Secretary and

THE SUICIDAL COURSE OF THE
TRUSTS.

In this present controversy between
the despotism of monopoly and the
freedom Of competition-between the
power Of corporate money and the
rights Of the general wclfare,-thc
NIRGINIAN-PILOT for a long time
stood alone in contendng that the pre-
Vailing methods OF business and OF
corporate action taught socialism 10 the
people by precept and example. and by
demonstrating by facts and figures that
the chief stock-obj ections to the social
commonwealth are wholly false and
untenable. We have heretofore called
attention to this. and to the further
fact that the vIRGINIAN-P PILOT long
warned capital, monopoly and trust
that they were pursuing precisely the
course to pursuade government and
people-ay. absolutely force them-to
resort to communism. as not only the
best form of government for free,
equal and self-ruling community, but
as necessary In self-defence and for
self preservation against the rapid and
intolerable encroachments of capital
monopoly and trust, or combination,
upon the independence and rights OF
government and people.
Notwithstanding that all the facts.
conditions and circumstances of the
situation clearly apd conspicuously in
dicated these two arguments. and al
though the VIRGINIAN- PILOT pre-
scented them as plainly as 1t could and
with all its Vigor IT really an
peared for n long time that both par
ties deliberately and studiously avoid
ed them-most strangely. the Demo-
cra's being longer and more marked in
this avoidance, as IL the arguments
were loaded with q political dynamite
whose explosion would do great dam
