Our city authorities have of
late had occasion to realize the
beauties of republican trust
rule. The city desired to pur-
chase 1000 feet of four inch
iron pipe for water mains. Be
fore the steel and iron trust
was formed this pipe could be
bought for less than $50 per
ton delivered in Rapid City.
Then came the trust, and the
figure quoted the city for the
same identical pipe today is
a little over $40 per ton deliv-
cred here-not that it costs
more to make this pipe now
than it did a year ago, but be-
cause a few trust magnates
have associated themselves to-
gether, gained control of the
steel and iron output of the
country and are robbing the
people because they can.
Rapid City needs this pipe, but
the chances are she cant afford
to put up the trust price.

His Own Political Grave.

Secretary Roots call for ten
additional regiments Of vOlun-
teers for service in the Philip
pines, raising the strength of
the army to $4,000 men, will
give great impetus to the SEN
tIment of opposition to the ad-
ministration's policy Of mill
tarism. Even with the chan
ces favorable to the suppress
sion OF the instruction with
this formidable army, the
whole military ,dca is repug-
nant to the sentiment of our
people.
But the chilly fact remairs
that even with an army of this
size, the instruction is not to
be quclled easily. Spain failed
with an acclimatcd army Of
$50, 900 m, n, even with the ad-
vantage of thorough knowl-
edge of the country and tn,
employment of thousands o!
native soldiers who remained
faithful to the Spanish flag.
The administration, howev
er, has none of thcsn advan
tages, for the natives are al,
in opposition. The revolution,
it is admitted, has broken out
in Cebu and Negroes, both Of
which, it has been claimed,
were thoroughly 'pacifed'
and were loyal to American
rule.
The naked fact is that the
American people are not yet
ready to adopt the European
monarchia1 idea of m~iIitarisn1,
and they are getting tired OF
the man who is trying to foist
it onto the country through
the Philippine hasco. They
also know how to rid them
selves of the whole business.

Opposition to Bryan Vanishing.

Before Richard Croker, the
Tammany chief, had reached the
dock in New York the other day
he had given out an interview
which knocked the anti Bryan con-
ference at Saratoga into the amen
corner. lie simply declared that
Bryan was the inevitable nominee
OF his party and that he was for
him. Then the little anti Bryan
plotters couldn't get away from
Saratoga fast enough.

lead as the rank and file desired or

cxsSpeaker Reed on the way over

likely to elect Bryan next year is
one Of the things which wheeled

The Philippine Fiasco Up to Date.

While the administration still
pursues its suicidal policy of "put-
ting down the Instruction. there
is every reason to believe that if
Aguinaldo and his fellow leaders
we're approached with the fair and
honest proposition that the practi-
cal independence Of the islands
with home rule would be granted,
under such conditions and guaran-
tees as would protect the islands
from foreign aggression in line
with the congressional declaration
as to Cuba-absolute peace would
result within thirty days. But
such a policy is too far beyond
Mckinley's capacity. His "peace"
commissioners, when confronted
by Aguinaldo, with the question as
what the United States proposed
to do with the islands we're unable
to make any definite answer save
that the Filipino people must make
an unconditional surrender of ev-
erything, including their arms and
ammunition. Naturally, they kept
on fighting and are still at it.
Mr.. Bryan aptly says that "we
paid $40, 900, 900 for an option on
the fight" Forty millions should
be added to that figure today, with
S15o, 900, 900 for the estimated ex-
penditures of the military estab-
lishment for the next year. There
is also a certainty that four out Of
every FIVE Of the soldiers who 60
to the Philippines will land on the
pension roll within the next five
years, if they ever live to get back
at all. Twenty thousand troops
reached Cuba last year and there

A city official, who supposes the cpl.

with his wife to meet her at the Office
last Friday night at 7 o'clock, says the
New York Herald. They were then to
have dinner at hotel, and attend the

had not yet arrived, so he patiently

on the door that she might not come

changing c. gongs, as a fire engine
dashed down 9Th avenue, and turned
his head for not more than five secon AS
to look after 1t. His wife was only a
few minutes late, as she hurried from
a Broadway car and rushed into the
office, during the five seconds his head
vas turned. She had not seen him. and
was pleased to think that he would be
the one to be blamed for being late, as
she sat down to wait his coming. He
continued to wait and pace, as the
clock licked off the minutes. Eight
o'clock was near and he became very
impatient, as he realized that 1t meant
to either miss dinner or the first act Of
the play. When 8 o'clock was passed
he saw another act slip away. In a
few minutes more he had given up the
theater. and feared for the dinner. In
another ten minutes all Of the plSns
were changed, and he determined to
go home. She was also discouraged
and hurried to the street to take a
northbound cable car. They met, and
well; the theater was given up, but
they had dinner and each promised
