A Battle i'm Earnest.

As The Times goes to press this morn
ing there is every reason to believe that
the hardest fight in which American troops
have been engaged since the Civil War is
Mia. The battle. which opened yesterday
morning and ragged furiously all day and
until night compelled temporary cessa-
tion OF hostilities. is again on, and may
probably continue all day today.
II is satisfactory to remember that Sun
day is the mascot day for our arms, and
We have no reason to doubt the result of
the engagement. The rebels have the ad-
vantage OF numbers. superiority of infant
ry arms. and the benefit of strong in
frenchments. Our forces are superior in
discipline. morale. and in being invincible
Anglo-Saxon men.
The fighting of yesterday was lamenta-
ably bloody. our losses, according TO dis
patch from General Otis, received at mid
night. amounting to twenty-five killed and
about one hundred and thirty-fve wounded.
1t is highly probable that before tomorrow
morning we shall have all the particulars
of the battle. to its end, we hope, and a
nearly complete list of casualties. In the
mean time We can only. trust in Providence
and the prowess of American generals and
froops

An English Fenr.

As soon as the war in the Philippines is
brought 10 close the American people
will have serious problems to face, on the
proper solution of which will depend not
only our success in administering the af-
fairs of our new possessions, but also the
best use OF the commercial opportunities
our abandonment of a narrow provincial
life should bring. We are to enter into
larger relations with the world and to ex-
ercise an influence over the destinies of
the vast countries bordering the Pacific.
II We cannot voluntarily free ourselves
from the selfish policy OF exclusion, we
are condemned to hard lessons of expe-
rience and many humiliations and losses.
There has been some reason to hope that
our larger responsibilities have brought
larger views. as when President McKin-
ley, himself q product OF the selfish and
deiusive policy Of protection. declared

Policemen OF the wor,,

From the New York Commercial Advertiser.)
America and Great Britain are the policemen
Of the world. And policemen are obliged to
go armed for the protection Of society Therefore
it is very evident that neither Of the Anglo.saxon
nations give this disarmament scheme any
but moral support. But that need not in the
least interfere with the disarming of the Others
Their disarining is like the taking of weapons
away from quarrelsome persons who would use
them 10 each others hurt When peoples moral
responsibility is sufficiently awakened there is
no harm in their carrying concealed weapons
indeed, it makes for peace and justice when Others
seek to oppress. America and England need their
night sticks and revolvers until complete order is
established in the world-and then they Will be
the most ready to give them up.

and have begun TO reach out for the
worlds markets. This implied that even
he recognized the antagonism between a
prohibitory tariff and the extension of our
commerce.
There is another reason why We should
effect a change in our economic system,
AS product of Chinese exclusion. virtu-
ally every industry in the land has passed
into the hands of a trust. These trusts
have already begun to control not merely
Legislation touching our own concerns, but
also our relations with other countries.
The London Saturday Review has dis
covered that the trusts are to blame for
the failure of the Anglo American Com
mission. That is no secret here. 1t is
known that but for the favored industries
there would have been commercial reci-
procity between the States and Canada. 1t
is known that the Canadian representa-
tives were led to the Capitol to learn from
the lips of the Congressional champions
of the trusts that there was no hope of
the least concession. The Saturday Re-
view naturally concludes that the trusts
may be expected to menace British trade
interests in the Far East and ultimately
everywhere In the world
That there is legitimate form of RI
valry between America and Great Britain
and also Germany has long been recog-
nized. There has been no doubt about the
final supremacy of America over all rivals.
But to gain this by a mean policy of ex-
ciusion in the markets under our control.
while demanding and enjoying the full
benefit of an open door in lands under
other control, would reveal a degree of
selfish cupidity that would be revolving to
every patriotic American. This is one of
the questions We are called upon to study
and decide. While it is impossible that
the Chinese wall the protectionists have
built around America should be extended
to the Philippines, still it is possible the
attempt will be made. 1t would Justly de-
priye us of the friendly regard in which
We are held by England and by a large
part of the German people. Just as it has
checked the growing friendship of our
Canadian neighbors. We are great enough
to despise such policy. We can afford
to meet the world on equal terms-to open
the door to those who offer us open DOORS
We cannot afford to do anything con-
temptible and wrong.

How to Deal with Trusts.
(From the Philadelphia Reeordl J

Instead OF rainiy attempting TO pass antitrust
laws. let Congress repeal every protective duty
behind which trading monopoly is enabled to
practice extortion upon the public. AT the same
time, let the State legislatures refuse to grant
a charter OF Incorporation for carrying on pri-
vatc business or manufacturing Unless it be
clearly shown that the business is of such char.
acter that individual enterprise. energy and cap.
ital cannot successfully meet its conditions in
the healthiul operations OF competitive trade.
The necessity for the accumulation of capital or
corporation shares to construct a railroad or to
carry on some other seni,public enterprise is
manifest. But there is no, such necessity for the
State TO create corporate trusts To refine sugar,
print cottons, boil soap, make cigarettes build
tsverns, wash clothes, to carry on any other
ordinary business

1t is safe to say that the meeting between
the President and Speaker Reed on Jekyl Island
was studiously polite Mr.. Mckinley is much too
smooth TO reveal in public any dislkes which he

priety which would guard him against the mis-
take of withholding a proper show of respect
for the President of the United States. In the
nature OF the ease, such thing ahectionate

Leaving out of the account all considerations OF
rivalry, they would be naturally antagonistie.
They are wholly unlike, and their diiSrences are
OF a kind that are calculated TO annoy and ir

of Mr.. Mckinley CRATES ON Reed, and how Reeds

feet of his actions his personal popularity might

relationship is about as close an approximation TO

NATIONAL Expositions


The talk OF the coming expositions at St.

esting speculation to the thoughtful OBJ
server Since this country now includes
Alaska, part of the West Indies, the Phil
ippines, and Hawaii, what extraordinary
opportunities the exposition manager of
the future will hayei AT present some of
our newly acquired territory is hardly un-
der sufficient control for perfect results in
the way OF exhibits, but in course of time
all that viii be arranged and we shall have
range OF products that is quite unparal-
leled except in the possessions of Great
Britain.
IL will be possible, at some future time.
to have an American national fair which
will be fully equal to that of Chicago in
interest and variety. Natives of all the
different climates on earth. from the Gulf
of Mexico and the China Seas to the north
ern coast Of Alaska. may be represented
and if report be true, there are on the less
civilized islands of the Philippine group
sayages as barbarous as those of Central
Africa. Chinese, Japanese. Hindoos and
other Asiatics are to be found in these ISL
ands and in Hawaii, and by the time we
have our new possessions well in hand
there will be not only savages, but civil

thing of curiosity. but a more striking

dia wild native tribes have been coaxed
10 behave themselves and supply troops
for the army under well-conducted native
officers, and if we are to govern the Phil
ippines successfully We shall probably have
to adopt some similar plan.
Besides these exhibits of anthropologicaI

lority OF the citizens OF this country know
very little about. There will be, let us
hope, magnificent collection of paintings

sic of high quality, the work of American
composers. Above all, it is to be hoped
that every race, nationality, class, and
type of people in this country may be rep
resented in some way. Such fair would
be a liberal education for the Europeans,
who do not know much about us as yet.

lightenment which might be almost pain
