ARE UNCHALLENGED.
Mining. Senator Hoar says

Continuing, Senator Hoar says
mo man during this whole discus
sion has successfully challenged and no
man will successfully challenge:
"First-The affirmation that under
the Constitution Of the United States
the acquisition of territory, as Of other
property, is not constitutional end q,
but only a means to a constitutional
end. and that while the making OF new
States and providing national defense
are constitutional ends. so that we may
acquire and hold territory for those pur-
poses, the governing of subject people
is not a constitutional end, and that
there is, therefore, no constitutional
warrant for .-0uiring and holding ter
ritory for the porpose.
.'Second-That to leave our own
country to stand on foreign soil is in
violation Of the warnings Of our fathers
and of the farewell address of Washing
ton.
"Third-That there never was a trop-
ical country governed with any tolera-
BILE success without system of contract
labor.
'sFourth-The trade advantages Of
the Philippine Islands, if there be any
must be opened alike to all the world
and that our share of them will never
begin to pay the cost of subjugating
them by war or holding them in sub
lection in peace
"Fifth-That the military occupation
Of these tropical regions must be kept
at an immense cost both to the souls
and the bodies Of our soldiers.
''Sixth-That the declaration as to
Cuba by the President and by Congress
applies with stronger force to the case
Of the Philippine Islands.

THE "PREsIDENT's ENGLISH"

We have all heard something of the
Kings English" and the Queens
English"
To use the Kings English or the
Queens English is to use correct
English. At any rate the dictionaries
so define it. But now, we have the
Presidents English" as exemplified in
his recent message.
Commenting on the phase of the mes
sage, the Chicago Record says:
Perhaps it is too much to expect that
busy president, burning with the in
spiration of a 25,000- word message
should find time to bother with the
trihing questions of style and diction
Recent presidents have been content to
employ a clumsy, prosaic but service
able style in which their statesmanlike
convictions numbered ponderously into
view from over sentences of painful
length and sinuous involution. So long
as the arduous journey from the sub
ject to the predicate, full 500 words
away, was accomplished, somehow
so long as the writer managed
to get through the thickets of
dense verbiage and emerge safe and
triumphant at the end with
his load of ideas uninjured he
seemed to care for lucidity as little as
for rhetorical effect
Mr.. McKinley's carefully considered
message, for instance, together with the
usual large collection of inelegancies,
tautologies, split indicatives, misused
| auXilaries, and other errors of number,
tense and mood, offers some sentences
| which yield up their meaning only after
careful study. 1t is comparatively easy
to understand that when he says that
the Philippines cannot be abandoned"
he really means only that they may not
be abandoned. 1t is not hard to believe
that the phrase "the intimate relations
of all parts.of the country to each other
alludes to the relations Of the various
sections to one another. Inhabitants
may be allowed to meet together" in
view of the fact that they cannot
meet asunder very well. But what is the
reader to make of this, for instance:
"The island Of Cuba. which used tc
buy her puerto Rico's) cattle and
tobacco, without customs duties, now
imposes the same duties upon these

WILL AGUINALDo BE CAUG HIT?

For many, many, weary, months past
the American people have been en-
couraged in the hope that the capture Of
Aguinaldo and his forces was only a
question Of a few days more" for the
announcement had so often been made
that "Aggies" backbone had been
broken, and that it would be impossible
to hold out any longer. And when Mrs.
"Aggies" wardrobe, consisting of
twelve whole barrels of clothes, had
been captured and the little three year
old son had been made a prisoner, the
American people rejoiced and rendered
thanks because they believed the end
had come, and there would be no
further sacrifice of Americas best blood
ton" But, in this the people have
been disappointed. Aguinaldo has not
been caught, and we have the dis
courageing statement from Lieutenant
Sucker of the First Tennessee volun-
teers, that he will not be. Lieutenant
Sucker and seven members of his
company have just arrived at New
York, and this is what the lieutenant
has to say
THE troops in my opinion will be chas-
ing Aguinaldo for the next 365 years, and
then never catch him. But he is simply
the figure head. There are others be-
hind him. | do not think the Philip.
pines are worth all the loss OF life ant
trouble they are costing us. When the

quiet Is restored the government will
have to keep the islands well garrisoneC
and then they will never be able to keel

tions, and think that we viii find tina

Is HANNA THE ONLY MAN?

1t is said that Senator Hanna is now,
the only man in public life, defending
the trusts. To say that Mr..
Hanna is the only leader in the Repub-
lican ranks making such defense, would
in all probability, be stating a fact,
from the other fact, that there is but
one leader in the Republican party to-
day, and that one is Marcus A. Hanna
The president and the senator are
not at variance on this subject, not
withstanding the attempt, on the part
of some, to construe Mr.. McKinleys
recent utterances in his message, on
this point, to mean that the president
is not in accord with Mr.. Hanna's
declaration, that there is no evil in
the trusts"
The president it is true, has declared
IN his message that these combinations
are obnoxious to the comon law and
the public welfare" but he failed to
suggest a remedy for the evils arising
from these organizations.
If the president does not believe as
the junior senator from Ohio does he
should have written plainly on this
subject, and boldly pointed out to the
law making body of the nation the
course it should pursue instead of ex-
pressing the hope that some remedy
might be evolved by which these organ
izations so obnoxious to common law
and the public welfare" may be con-
trolled.
There are at least two men in public
life today who still believe in the trusts
and the trusts believe in them, and you
can depend upon it.
The one is Senator Marcus A. Hanna,
from Ohio, and the other is the chief
executive of the nation.

lars for an article that cost him two
dollars and fifty cents without using
stamps. This argument shows clearly
that the stamp companies know that the
merchants in order to pay for stamps
must either sell a cheaper article or
raise prices.
In other words, it means that some
stamp companies, or their agents, are
sometimes free to urge merchants to rob
or deceive the people simply TO carry
out their scheme for making money.
How do the people like it?
