The road supervisor law passed by the
legislature in which provision is made
for district road supervisors is hard
blow at the county surveyors who were
elected at the recent election. Under
the law passed two years ago the work
of supervising the construction and re-
pair of roads devolved upon the county
surveyor, and 1t carried with 1t consider
able in the way of remuneration for that
official. The natural consequence was
that at the recent election the Office was
as much sought after as almost any
other and the candidates ma le an active
campaign and spert considerable money.
There is now 40 way fer the successful
candidates to make any money, and they
are little better off than their competi.
tors who were defeated at the polls.
However. the attorney general has de.
cided that the law is unconstitutional ir
that it dlvests the county surveyor o
authority or emoluments that went
with the Office at the time of election
last fall, which is in direct opposition tt
the terms of the constitution. Should
the supreme court entertain the same
view as the attorney general the count.
surveyors may be all right after all.

If the task of holding Manila and
driving back and disbanding the insur-
gents is harder than at first seemed
likely, an additional reason exists for not
yielding one inch to the rebels. The
United States, having embarked upon
the pacication of the Philippine islands,
cannot in honor surrender to the oppos-
ing forces. Not only for the effect upon
the outside world, but to maintain our
own self-respect, we cannot leave un.
done the work undertaken. In such a
case no one but coward would advo-
cate hauling down the flag. That would
be retreating under fire.

NEW DANGERS THREATEN.

In the latter days of February Wall
street was strong on news OF cOnsolda-
ton of dozen or more producing and
manufacturing Industries. The brokers
reasoned that railroads would benefit,
that the trusts would make possible
large dividends by preventing compe-
fit 1r. The close of last week found a
T Ing market on the street, one OF the
,aasons assigned being the unfavorable
bank statement which reported loss OF
five millions in the surplus reserve. Yet
this loss in the bank reserve is due to
the financiering of these trusts which a
few days before lent strength to the
market.
Ir two months the capitalization of
such concerns exceeds the enormous
sum of one and one-half billion dollars,
almost as much money as the appropri-
tions by congress for two years. 1t is
not possible to make the changes neces-
sary to c0mplete these combinations and
pay cassl. but certain proportion OF
money is demanded to buy out smaller
concerns so the banks have done an
enormous business Flotation is ac-
complished IN large part by new stock
issues based on the value each separate
producing or manufacturing concern
bears to the whole. Once accomplished
il is expected that the inflow of money
f,,,. ,,.,11 hn cr
great that dividends will be almost
doubled
There is deadly menace in these mon
STR combinations. Control of votes OF
employees will be made more easy; the
corruption fund for directing Legislation
Will come out of a common pool, while
the publicity sometimes resulting from
exorbitant assessments on different man
ufacturning concerns in the past will be
eradicated.
Trusts with such vast interests as the
copper, the wooden. the iron and steel
and the electric, will not be backward
in scattering greenbacks in states where
there is an attempt to curb their infiu-
ence. The employee of a mill owned by
4be trust will think twice before voting
for legislator pledged to vote for open
competition. The combined trusts will
have powers so strong that their will
will be law.
IT has been impossible to curb these
trusts in their inception, and few years
will find them SO strongly intrenched
that nothing short of complete over
throw of the system will accomplish
good.

Those who are continually crltlcizlng
the administration and the policy of
the president concerning the future of
the Philippines have perhaps never con-
8 dered how absurd and entirely incon-
sistent their arguments really are. PeO-
pie who have taken the time and pains
to read or listen to those criticisms have
no doubt noted that every one Of the
critics attempts to laud Admiral Dewey,
while Mckinley is charged with being
the oppressor OF a people struggling to
be free. 1t may be simply ignorance
on the part OF these chronic fault
finders, or party prejudice is responsible
for their utterances. 1t may be un-
known to these people that it was upon
the advice of Dewey that the American
peace commissioners demanded the ces-
sion of the entire group OF Philippine
islands from Spain, or they may not be
aware of the fact that it was Dewey who
strongly advised that the holding of a
coaling s alton or single island was out
OF the question and that the United
States must either take the entire group
or abandon the Philippine islands a to-
gether They may be ignorant OF the
fact that every step taken in the Phil
lppine question since Admiral Dewey en-
tered Manila bay on the first Of May
last, was in accordance with his wishes
and advice. Nevertheless these are the
facts, and if a mistake has been made
il is not because Dewey did not under
stand the situation or he deliberately ad-
vised an act of injustice and oppression.
If the course pursued by Mckinley is to
be condemned it is because he sought
the advice OF the man who is acknowl-
edged to the greatest naval commander
OF the age rather than that of the Ana
conda Standard, Butte Miner or lesser
lights Of the Democratic press Of the
state. The epithets that are being flung
at Mckinley by these anti-eXpansion
mouth-pieces of Cleveland Democracy
are entirely unwarranted and inconsis-
tent. In one column Mckinley is con-
demned as being responsible for the war
in the Philippines, grave complications
are predicted as the ultimate result of
Philippine problem, and yet in the next
column these e1ponents of infnite wis
dom advocate the name of the the very
man whose advice has been accepted as
law by the administration, for president
in 1900. If these chronic fault-fnders
would for minute consider the Philip
pine question from an unbiased stand
point, they would have much less to
say on the subject and would perhaps
more readily understand why McKin-
leys policy is approved by SO great a
majority of the American people.
