AGUINALDo's BANDITS.

It is reported that che administration
mas reached the conclusion that the wisest
and best way to deal with those of Agui-
naldos soldiers who have taken to the
woods and, in small bands, are playing
the part of bandits. assassinating natives
as well as Americans whenever the op>
portunity TO do so without risk to them
selves presents itself is 10 order them
shot when captured.
That seems to be a harsh conclusion,
but the justice of it will hardly be ques-
toned. Now that organized war is at
end those who are pursuing an indefensi-
BILE sort of warfare cannot expect to be
treated in accordance with the methods
of regular war. Being nothing more than
robbers and assassins they must be dealt
with as such.
There is no probability that Aguinaldo
will be able TO reorganize his government
1t never did have much of an organiza-
ton. and its abiding place was in doubt a
great deal of the time 1t had an existence
1t is folly therefore for him or his fol-
lowers to keep Luzon in a state of un.
rest. If there were any chance for him
to carry out his programme successfully
IL would be different. If he is the patriot
he pretends to be he will advise his peo-
pie to accept the situation and give the
government. which the Americans will es-
tabhsh, trial. There is nothing to be
gained by playing the part of bandit and
preying upon his own people.

WILLIAMS, RESOLUTIONS.

1t is not by any means certain that the
resolutions introduced into the House on
Thursday by Representative Williams of
Mississippi outlining a policy for dealing
with the Philippines, a synopsis of which
was published in our dispatches, will be
adopted as the policy of the Democratic
party. Mr.. Williams showed the resolu-
tons to quite a number of Democrats be-
fore introducing them, and, it is under
stood, they were approved by them. 1t
was, therefore. announced in the dis
patches that they embodied what would be
the policy of the Democratic party in re-
spect to the Philippines.
The main features of the resolutions are
that the Filipinos shall pay us $2O,OOO,OO)
to offset the like amount which we paid
Spain for the islands, that our army shall
be promptly withdrawn, and that our
government shall exercise over the islands
a protectorate for the period of ten years.
The resolutions of course contain many
other provisions, but the foregoing are the
principal ones. 1t is a que stion II
majority of the Democrats in Congress
would vote for the resolutions just as they
are. 1t is a noticeable fact that the
Democrats of neither the House nor the
Senate have been attacking the admnis-
tration's Philippine policy, and that the
resolution of Senator Pettlgrew, calling
for information as to whether the flag of
the Filipinos had ever been re ognized by
the American forces in the Philip mes.
was defeated in the Senate on Thu sday
by a vote of Al to 20. If there had been
strong Democratic opposition to the ad-
ministrations Philippine policy it is GER
tain that the Pettigrew resolution would
have received much more support.
The fact is the Democrats in Congress
are not yet decided as to the course they
will pursue in regard to the Philippines.
They want to be sure what the sentiments
of Democrats in various parts of the coun-
try are before committing themselves 10
any policy There is a great diffe ence Of
opinion in the South as to the course that
should be taken There is a very strong
feeling in favor of holding the Islands as
a permanent possession. That is the 20 l.
ton that is being taken by some of tie
leading Democrats of the South, and IL IS
noticeable that one of the Democratic can
didates for the United States Senate in
Arkansas has announced in an interview
that he favors holding them. There is no
doubt as to where Southern manufacture
ers stand on the question, and it is proba-
bic that the cotton growers wiz very eea-
orally follow the lead Of the manufactur-
ers.
There may be issues growing out Of the
Philippines which win afford a DIVIDING
line between the two great parties but Il
does not yet appear that the question of
holding the islands or Of turning them
over 10 the Filipinos will furnish it,.

THE ANTITRUST ISSUE.

The issue on which the Democratic party
can b. united, and he only one, is Jha,
OF opposition TO trusts Notwithstanding
the position the President took asa ms.
| trusts in his message. il is pretty Ger, ain
| that it is the intention OF the Republican
| party 10 caller to them. That this is 50
is shown by The statements in some Of
the Republican papers to the effect that
what the President sad against trusts is
not fully understood. by The defense of
trusts which is teng made by Senator
Hanna ana other prominent Republicans
and by the evident pleasure with which
some OF the republican papers call atten-
ton to remarks il defense Of trusts made
by few OF the labor leaders.
If the Democrats make opposition 10
trusts their one great issue they viii have
the country with them. People of all class
es are suffering from the exactions of
trusts. The farmers are being compelled
10 pay more for fertilizers and wage earn
els have to pay more for he necessares
of life by the greedy trusts. And the Re
publican party is largely responsible for
the existence of trusts, because it re-
fuses to reduce those tariff duties which
make the existence of certain trusts pos
sible.
The Democratic party could not have
better issue than trusts present VIII it
pass them by for anti-expansion and the
16 to / idea? 1t is admitted by leading
Democrats that it win be impossible to
get the party TO unite if anti-expansion
and the 10 to idea are made the leading
issues, or if either of them is kept at the
front. The geld standard bill viii be pass
ed by the House on Mon ay, and it is I'M
derstood that eight Democrats will vote
for it and seven will refuse to vote against
it. There are therefore at least fifteen
Democratic members of the House who are
against the l6 to 1 idea. There may be
many more. If a vote were taken in the
House on the question of permanently re-
tanning the Philippine Islands il is certain
that many more than fifteen Democrats
would vote in the affirmative.
There is now talk among Democrats
that there is likely to be bitter fight in
the Democratic national convention
against giving a declaration in favor of
free silver coinage a prominent place in
the platform. 1t is certain that the fact
that so many Democratic members of
Congress are refusing to vote against the
gold standard bill is having the effect of
strengthening that element of the Demo
cratic party which thinks it unwise to
give prominence to a free silver declara-
ton in the national platform. on a deeiar-
alton against trusts, however, Democrats
can and will unite. 1t is an issue that will
bring Democrats of all parts Of the coun-
try into harmony. 1t is the issue which
holds out the greatest promise of success.

civil service Questions.

If Senator Gallinger makes a speech on
the absurdities of the civil service exam
inations-and he is likely to speak his
mind freely before the session is over
he will tell of the experience of young
friend of his who wanted to be an assist
ant paymaster in the navy, says the Wash
ington Post. This young man was con-
fronted with at least four questions Stand
up, readers of the Post and answer them
if you can:
Explain the polarization of light.
What is the Nautilus law?
Give details of the Gresham law
What is an escrow?
Il wondered" says Senator Gallinger,
what an assistant paymaster needed with
this sort of knowledge. I found" added
the senator, with a laugh, "that his chief
duties consisted in peddling rations''

He Led the sunday SCHOOLS.

THE late Dean Gilbert Stokes, of the
Anglican Church" says the Rocheste r
Post Express, FUSED to tell the story of a
conversation he had with the old verger
of a certain English parish church. Prob
ably he embellished it-polishing it like
old silver with much using-but anyhow
this was the tale: Who, my good friend,
takes the lead in Sunday School matters
here? asked the dean of the verger. I
do, sir was the proud reply; there aren't
no other scholards but me and Sir John
in The parish. 1 Farms the children on
Sunday afternoons And what routine
do you follow? said the dean. I fust
reads EN- a little cataplasm, and I gener-
ally winds up with a few interesting anti
dotes just 10 keep EN- from getting too
restless. But of course, sir, 1 always tell
'em in bibulous Ianguage.'"

THE NEGRO IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.

Mr.. Edwin T. Goodwin, of Cape Colony,
South Africa. is in this country on a visit
He has spent some time in New York and
Washington. One thing that struck him
very foreioly, he says, is the status of the
black man in the United States. He was
not prepared TO see negroes treated with
so much consideration" Notwithstanding
the black race preponderates so over
whelmngly in South Africa. they are not
given anything like the license and privi-
leges accorded to the white men" I'm our
towns" Mr.. Goodwin continued, the blacks
are not allowed even to make their way
along the sidewalks but must walk in the
streets This status of inferiority does not
seem to occasion them any worry, and they
accept the situation as though 1t were the
proper thing for the white man to die
tate. Compared with the condition of the
Kaffirs, Zulus and othed dark races in our
part Of the world, your colored people in
America have much to boast of"

who take the trouble to make a fair and
impartial investigation that the negro re-
