IL is Eot likely shat our troops would at
tempt to follow them now. right at the
beginning of the rainy season when the
country win be exceedingly sickly and
the roads almost impossible. However,
even IL we fail to capture the Filipino
army and thereby put an end to the
war we shall probably have
accomplished n good deal. We shall
have convinced the Filipinos
that 1t will be useless for them to attempt
TO drive US from the country. They will
no longer doubt our ability to defeat them
in open contest, and probably one result
Of these lessons will be to dispirit them
and make 1t more difficult for Aguin-
aldo to keep an army In the field.

Bryan in pitching into trusts forgets
that the biggest trust of all was the one
he attempted to organize four years age
for the benefit of the silver producers OF
the mining states. No existing trust
either in its magnitude or in its capacity
for mischief is at all comparable with the
ems that Bryen would have started if he
had got sufficient endorsement at the polls
in 1896. His proposition was to COM
pc, the United States to become the pur-
ohasers of all the old silver.stored in the
civilized world and all the new which
might be dug out of the smines of Color
ado aud elsewhere and make then, pay a
price double its value. The ordinary trust
does not increase the value of the pro-
duct but slightly if at all, and frequently
reduces it; it does not compel people to
buy it whether they want 1t or not. But
Bryan's proposed silver. trust was going
to do both OF these things. 1t would have
been the worst of all trusts.

1t is clear from ths.despatches that Gen.
Otis's plan of campaign has been defeated
in part by circumstances that could moi
he overcome. Gen. Macarthur was to get
to Polo and into the rear of the insurgent
forces, but this he failed to do, owing to
the roughness of the country and the ter
rible heat which rendered his progress
slow. No blame attaches to him or his
troops for the failure. Whatever men
could do was dons. but the physical diff
culties were insurmountable. The failure
of Gen. Macarthur is greatly to be regret
ted, for it will defeat probably, the
capture Of Asuinaldo's army, and may
postpone indefinitely. the end of the
war. There appears to be nothing now
to prevent the insurgents retreating from
point to point. fighting as they fall back,
