A POLICY OUTLINED AT LAST.


If there has been heretofore any question
OF the administrations purpose to hold the
Philippines permanently az conquered
province. that doubt has certainly been
removed by the proclamation TO the Fill
plnos Just issued by Mr.. McKlnley's Phil
ippine commission, and evidently inspired,
in spirit and detail, by the president him
self
The idea OF benevolent assimilation OF
course runs through the document; the
natives are promised protection under HUI
name laws and even entertained with spec
ulations on the possibility of degree OF
local self-goyernment in the future, but
there is no intimation of our turning the
islands loose-not the faintest hope held
out DO the natives that they will ever
realize their dreams of independence. The
proclamation. In as smooth and diplomatic
way as possible. 1t is true, announces TO
tie Filipinos In no ambiguous way that the
urited States have assumed sovereignty
over the archipelago and propose o main
tain It at whatever cost necessary! II the
iaiives agree to this nsurpation, or con-
quest, all well and good-they have some
rights that will be respected, but II they
resist thoy will be put down BY the strong
prm Of the military

American people through their congress

in this intention , retain the islands a

The Post can not believe that the Ameri

thought, and after order is restored In tn
Philippines. to embark upon this policy o
permanent Asiauc colonization against tn
consent OF the governed The historical
fact that We nave seized the greater par
OF this continent from the Indians an
held them In subsection against their will
which is freely used as justification 70
our proposed Philippine conQuests, Is no
parallel case in the hrst place and in tn
second place, would as one highha
proceeding or wrong, be no excuse for an
other proceeding OF a similar character.
But before the people can be called upo
to express their sovereign pleasure in tn
premises, the country will be forced

complishment OF the presidents imperi

time they can be depended on to say so
an unrlistakable manner!

THE "wArER' IN THE TRUSTS.

There is unquestionably some solid basis
for the fear that is now being expressed
even in the financial circles of tho country
that the water in many of the trust stocks
WILL after awhile prove disastrous to
these big concerns. aside from any hostile
legislation that they may provoke.
few days ago The Post called atten-
ton to the organization of tho new wooden
mill trust. 1t will serve as an admirable
illustration Of the stock watering process
now going on In connection with the un
precedented trust movement. 1t appears
that this trust took in the leading mills
for which II paid $l2,o0o0O0 in the new
trust stock. OF that amount $4,000. 600
was ''water." given purely as bonus, MS
the mills were actually bought in for
S75oo,o0o. Then, says the Denver Post
the tsust figured up the business and
profits out of this so-caled investment oil
$4,000, 900 and found that the public would
stand another squeeze Forthwith II ia-
creased irs capitalization to Sal 600, 900,
Now there is the original investment Of
