INSURGENTS ESCAPE
FROM LAWTON.
Provisions Are Scarce and Troops
Are Exhausted.
SUPPLIES ON THE WAY.

Manila, June 6.-The insur-
gents in Morong peninsula whom
General Lawton had hoped to
take, have gotten away, and in
consequence the lines of troops
stretched across the country to
Morong have been withdrawn.
The escape of the rebels was
due to the many scouts sent out
by the Filipinos, who are
fully acquainted with the country
and are consequently able to
watch aud report every movement
of the Americans. Another fac
tor in their escape was the alb
sence OF open mountain trails be-
tween points, tha Americans being
handicapped by this.
Our troops this morning have
been thirty-six hours without food
and are exhausted. Supplies are
now being brought by water from
Morong, but an impossible coun-
try has made it impossible to push
provisions forward to the front
overland.

The New Labor Party.

AS n result of the car strike and the on
thusiasm OF that great Parliament of Man,
the Central Labor Union, another labor
party has been founded. We have no doubt
that it will be just as powerful and SUCCESS
full as was the strike of which it is n contn-
uation Its generous statisticians give it
q strength Of $4,000 votes to start with.
and We dare say that they are not moro
than forty-hvc or six thousand votes out of
the way. 1t Is best not to be too inquisitive
as to the exact proportions Of new parties.
They spring up toward the fall Of the year.
They are sometimes very remuncrative.
As to this point the "reminiscences Of the
chairmen Of the various party committees
would be instructive. A real labor party,
II there could be such thing, would include
about everybody in the community. The
astute persons who organize imitation la
Dor parties know that the trademark ia
bor' has its value.

The Hon. JOHN PETER ALTGELD asserts
that it is an internal lie that he ever said
the ratio OF sixteen to one might be aban-
doned by the Democracy. He repeats his
old adage that "to abandon the ratio would
be to abandon the cause"
This Is as it should he. II rs to Is not
sacred, inviolable and infalliblc, then the
Chicago platform is only an ordinary jun
BILE OF words, and not the new Declaration
of Independence and the last hope Of suf-
fering humanity.
There is no such thing" the Illinois r.
reconcilable AYERS, "as subordinating or
sidetracking the cause for which we fought
in 1896" Silver is to be the head and front,
but few subordinate issues may be- tucked
into the midst OF the platform. TRUSTS,
anti-lmperialism, and government by in
junction must all come in for their full
share Of attention. says Mr.. ALTGELD.
Exactly. 1t would be unfeeing to slight
these sublime causes. But can any one of
them, or all combined, equal that great
issue to which Mr., ALTGELD has often
pledged himself passionately, the initia-
tive and referendum. Time and time again
has he declared that this is the main hope
OF free government. is the main hope Of
free government to have no place in the
next Democratic platform? Has Dr. ALT
GELD forgotten his own specific?

General DE 9ALLIFEr has made 1t clear that
the new court-martlal will not be allowed to
travel beyond the lines marked out for 1t by
the Court OF Cessation.
1t is the single aim Of General DE CALI.
FET to liquldate the Dreyfus affair and
force the army to abide by the results.
In his seven weeks Of office he has made the
supremacy Of the civil power an actual
fact which he did not hesitate to bring
home Enthusiastically to any officers who
tried to evade It, In the present crisis such
a service Is not less valuable to France than
was his vigorous stanping-out OF the Com
mune twenty-nine years ago. Beyond this
the General is for leaving the BrLLoTs, Es-
TERHAzYs, MERGERS, BoIsDEFFREs and
GoNsEs to stew in their own juice.
Tho Dreyfus case has not been all shadow.
1t has been frightened by some fine ex-
nmples OF courage, resolution and sacrifice,
and amongst them General DE GALLIFET
must always hold his place.

A Rhode Island CIambake.

Rhode Island is slightly smaller than
Australia, but it is the only place in which
clans are cooked to their full perfection
Consequently all great men and most good
men go to Rhode Island clambake at least
once in their lives.

DERsoN was the guest of the Pofnhall Club
on the shores Of Narragansett Bay. The
clans werepiled in mountains The green
corn rose as forest. The sweet potatoes
and Senator DEPEw and the Hon. JACOB
GALLINGER and the Hon. CY SULLowAY Of
New Hampshire made a cheerful picture
II Mr.. HENDERSON had not been satisfied,
he would have shown himself unworthy Of
the Rhode Island clambake, one Of the chief
happnesses of men,.
But there is this to be said While the clam
itself has been taken by some philosopher,
as an emblem OF silence, the person who
encloses a proper amount OF clans newt
ably expands.
On Monday. at least, the Hon. DAVID
BREMNER HENDERSON must have been in
favor Of expansion.

Sketch of tho Democratic Platform

Our solid Democratic contemporary, the
Kansas city Times, mounts upon the tripod
and pours forth this prophecy:
AS 1t was in 1885, so 1t will be in 1900 Tho del
sgstes Who will speak for the Democratic party will
be loyal bi. metalists. They will be earnest tariff
reformers and will be ready to denounce the en-
cronchmcnts Of the Federal authorities the liber
ties Of the people. This was Democratic doctrine in
1885, and It will be Democratic doctrine in 1900. But
a. tho developments in the great Illinois and other
strikes caused the national convention of 1895 to
declare against Federal interference in local Affairs
and mako that question an issue. so far rs the
Democratic party was concerned. SO will the over
capitalization and unprecedented formation Of
trusts cause the Democratic party In 1900 TO de-
mand their regulation by national legislation. And
because the present Administration has plunged us
into an unholy war of CONQUEST and threatened the
stability OF the republic with pernicious policy Of
imperialism, the Democratic convention will speak
in such language that all the people understand
what the policy Of the party will be IL nrused with
the reins of government"
This seems to be the programme. 1t Is
difficult not to grin at it. The loyal BIZ
metallists" are the silver monometallists to
whom the country would not listen in bad
times. What chance will they have In
good times? The earnest tariff reformers"
but here one great guffaw will spread over
the United States. The earnest tariff re-
formers Of 1893 have not been forgotten.
Tho encroachments of the Federal
Government on the liberties Of the people
and Federal interference in local affairs are
part Of the old show that did not draw.
The regulation OF Trusts by national legis-
lation is a safe thing to ask for, whether 1t
can be had or not, but what II the unprin-
cipled Republicans should ask for it., too?
Last the unholy war Of conquest"
This is as good as the latter four years Of
failure to restore the Union by experiment
Of war" of the Democratic platform Of
1864. And it will be as successful.

Aguinaldo and Foreign Powers.

The appeal for the recognition OF Filipino
Independence which Aguinado has sent out
from Tarlac. in an address signed by BuES.
oAMrNo. to all the consuls in Manila, Is alb
solutcly futile, ms events will show.
What foreign nation will undertake to
declare that the insurgents had virtually
overthrow Spanish sovereignty in the
Philippines before DEwEY's victory in Ma
Mia Bay2 Yet one OF the arguments ofthis
Tarlac document is that the Government
OF Spain could not lawfully cede the islands
TO the United States by the treaty OF Paris,
because the insurgents had already taken
them from her.
Still another plea put'forward is that var
ious promises Of recognizing Filipino SOW
ereignty were made by American civil and
military officers. Denials Of such assert
ions have been abundant, but, in any case
all foreign powers fully understand that
even had such promises been given, they
could not bind our Government since they
were not authorized
Equally falacOus IL the notion that the
capture of 1000 Spanish prisoners this
being the number put forth, shows that
"Spain's hold was irrcvocably lost" If any
country could be- tempted to sriZ" on that
as a ground for recognizing Filipino indie
pendcncr, it might well be- Spain herself ;
yet this address admits that she refuses to
get back her prisoners on such terms.
But the great reason why the appeal of
AGUINALDO must be fruitlcss is hat foreign
powers rrcogniz" that the possession OF the
Philippines by our Government is the very
on l,n a. af hnt
Independence would mean civil war, and
perhaps anarchy, in which foreign interests
would suffer and it might ult mately mean
a wrangle Of foreign nations over the pos
session of the Philippines, each dreadng
what the other might do, whereas all are
content that the islands should be ours.
Tho London Daily Mai once presented
the views taken by some, at least to whom
the nsurgcnt leader appeals in saying
that it is curious that AGUlNALDo does
not realize the complete futility OF the
game he is playing. The Tagas, whom he
leads are only one out of thirty distinct
tribes in the archipelago, and represent
only one-fourth Of the population. 1t is
certain that their victory in the struggle
which is wholly impossible, would only
lead to more or less protracted civil war
among the Filipnos. They could not main
tain order and uphold their independence
against the European powers, which would
be attracted by the scent of prey" Our
flag means peace. order, protection alike to
foreign and native interests; 1t means
progress and true freedom.
Tho appeal Of AGrINALDo will utterly
fail. There will be no foreign recognition
even OF Filipino belligcrency, to say moth.
ing of independence.
