The INTELuGESCER has taken the
ground that q form Of government
ought 10 have been established n the

We believe ,hA, if some good, smart,
loyal Filipino were appointed governor
Of Luzon, and told to raise an army to
subiugAis all hosiili;iss, and be Was
backed up BY other native Officers, then
the AguinAldO rebellion would be Of

Republicans last year held that
trusts were good for business. A
trust could manufacture and sell goods
for less money than private individuals
could manufacture and sell. Now they
are beginning to hedge, and pass
resolutions %denounciDg trusts. But
the public will probably remember that
woyears ago republicans were claiming
to be the greatest friends Of silver.
Now they denounce silver. Now they
denounce trusts in order to catch votes,
but the trusts have a hand on the throat
of republican leaders, and should
that party be successful at the nex'
election, the rank and file will be
whipped into line and again shout for
trusts.
