MANHATTAN DRIVING CLUB.
The Trotter Still to the Front in
New York.

In the Spirits track and road de-
partment will be found a report of the
last meeting OF the members of the
new Manhattan Driving Club, and a
glance at the names of the officers and
directors will be ample assurance that
the club is bound to be a success. Presi-
dent A. B. Gwathmey is, an enthusiastic
roadite, a prominent member of the
Cotton Exchange, and man who will
do honor to the position w. E. Par
sons, the Vice President, is one of the
old guard of, the late Driving Club OF
New York, was for many years an ac-
tive member of its Executive Commit
tee, is always willing to make or accept
a match for anything he has in his
stable, owners to drive, and is an up
to-date man OF affairs. Charles A.
Willis. the Secretary and Treasurer, is
veteran roadite, knows every amateur
road driver in New York, is a lawyer
who has watched closely the trend of
recent legislation with regard to rae
ing and roadways and will be an in
valuable source of strength to the new
organization. The Executive Commit
tee, enlarged and strengthened now
consists of Messrs. ]. A. Biaurock,
George W. Grote, Hiram Hollis, Fred
Gerken, A. Kerker, w. J. Hiscox, A.
Garside and S. B. Clark. These gentle
men are all Well known amateur road
ties. who own fast trotting roadsters
and will vigilantly protect the great in
terests committed to their care. The
cons titution and bylaws, which, while
they have been agreed upon as al whole,

to vigilantly guard the speedway so
that it shall be- used exclusively for the
purposes for which it was built. 1t
viii also use its influence on behalf of
the construction of other good roads in
upper New York. It will cultivate anna
teur racing among its members and will
promote social intercourse among its
members. Although the club practically
only came into existence a few days
ago, it has already a hundred members
and it is a conservative estimate that
by July 1st it will have a membership
of. 500. With such a membership anna
teur matinees, on a liberal scale can be
given and in alliance with the Suburban
Club the Brooklyn Pleasure Drivers
Association and other metropolitan or
SganiZations solid front could at any
stime be presented to the foes of trot~
ting sports and open air pastimes. 1t
is the duty of every horseman in New
York to join this club. The fee has
been placed for this year at So, the club
having been offered free quarters at the
Standard at One Hundred and Fiftieth
street, the Abbey at One Hundred and
Ninety-eighth street and at The Club
at the head of the speedway when it is
finished. If the conservative expecta-
tions of the charter members are real
ized the club by next year will be look
ing round for home of its own. In the
meantime the Spirit wishes the club

promoters could desire. The. ship starts

Choice of Politics.

There is an amusing story current in
the Temple about Lord Herschell and
his clerk. When he first entered poll
tics. the fortunes of the Liberal party
were at their blackest and his clerk,
who was a clerk of the oldest school,
and took an almost proprietary inter-
est in his career, used often to brood
over the political situation. At last,
on the day when Lord Beaconsfield re-
turned in triumph from Berlin, and
was received with such unparalleled
popular enthusiasm that he seemed cer-
tain of a fresh lease of power, the clerk
confided his feelings to Mr.. Herschell in
these moving terms: Don't you think,
sir, in view of the turn events seem
to be taking, that our choice of politics
was a little premature ?"-Westminster

The Minneapolis Times" Demo
cratic thinks the way to kill off the
trusts, is to knock out the tariff props
upon which they rest. But not all trusts
are dependent upon protection. Not all
trusts are monopolies, nor has it been
shown that all are in restraint Of trade,
or are inimical to the industrial and
productive interests of the people. There
are two sides to the trust question. AS
a fair people we should examine both
and not go wild at the mere shaking of
the trust flag. 1t is contended that
most trusts enlarge commerce, quicken
and sustain industries, and prevent
ruinous competition. That defense of
them must be examined and judged
honestly and condemnation not be made
sweeping. Certainly the law as we have
it is equal to protecting the people
against any combination that is fraud
ulent in restraint of trade and inimical
to the general welfare. If trusts lower
wages, narrow the opportunities of in
dustry, stifle interstate trade, obstruct
commerce and render unstable the great
industries Of the country, surely these
things can be shown beyond cavil.
There are and always have been per-
nicious trusts certainly, unholy monopo-
lies and damnable combinations to op-
press industry that scheming may make
gains. But the lines of distinction must
be drawn, and that we take it will be
done and without injustice to any. The
subject is one not to be disposed of in
a breath or by sweeping condemnation,
but by application of the laws of eco
nomic truth to whatever conditions pre-
sent.

Unquestionably Germany scored q
victory oyer England in securing our
concurrence in the demand that the new
Samoan Commission shall be unanimous
in its orders. English diplomacy stood
out against this to the end, counting
upon America as an ally. against the
German demand. Butt as the matter
now stands there must be undivided de-
cisions in all matters coming before the
new board. This will, of course, place
it within the power of Germany to
leave things just as they are, by refusal
to concur. But we doubt very much
if Emperor William will place himself
in such position. It would expose
him to the ridicule, if not the contempt

Are we told that we should assist the
inhabitants in forming Governments
and then guarantee their independ-
ence? Even this could be attempted
only after abandonment by them OF re-
sistance to the United States. The au-
thors of this resistance want no help
or interference from us in the organlza-
ton of a Government, and for this rea-
som they have undertaken to expels our
people. Hence it is that their armed
forces must bel crushed before anything
else can be attempted. 1t is result
that must precede everything else, for
they will not allow that we are to have
anything to say or do about their af-
fairs. They do not want us to help
them form Government, nor could we
do it with success if they should invite
us. They would not have our control,
or even our advice, which would be the
first condition and requirement in an
effort to establish a. stable Government.
Besides, the island of Luzon, where
this insurrection has occurred, is but
one Of a. great group, and it cannot con-
troll the rest 1t is doubtful, indeed,
whether the insurgents of Luzon could
control that single island. But even If
they could and should what would be-
come of all the other islands of this ex-
tensive group? The Aguinaldo Gov
ernment' can pretend to no authority
over them
The conditions are such that retire
ment of the forces of the United
States from the Philippine Islands is
utterly impracticable Maintenance OF
our sovereignty over the islands will
be best for us and best for the world.
THE CALIFORNIA CROP.
Pasadena Star: Figures given by the
Chicago Trade Bulletin on the wheat
crop are to the effect that California is
the only State that will yield an aver
age crop. A summary of the reports
in conjunction with the late State re-
ports indicate that the condition of the
winter wheat crop of the United States
is not to exceed ;75 per cent. which,
even on the increased acreage would
not produce to exceed 355 100000 bush
els, to 3G0 600, 900 bushels, or 10000 900
less than last year. States east of the
Rocky Mountains will probably show a
shortage of 35,O00O00 to. 4O0O0O0O
bushels, which will be partly reduced
by the increased production in Califor-
mia.

The news comes from Washington
that the treasury officials are about to
inaugurate new system in guarding
trade portals by abandoning the search
OF Americans home returning from for
eisn parts. 1t is believed that while a
number of people viii take advantage of
the leniency to defraud. that in the long
run the Government will be the gamer
by the increased respect the travellers
will have for the United States and its
laws, and that there will be compare
ff5e1y few false oaths if trust is reposed
in the official declarations made. The
annoyance not to say often the i'm
modesty and the indecency of the
search is an evil every one who has
travelled beyond home bounds must
have felt OF course it is pot intended
by the change to be ordered that the
returning American can land unin-
spected bales. bundles and boxes of
goods or great amounts of personal
out inspection. But the reform regard
ing search will inspire the travelling
American with the pride in his coun-
try, will quicken his respect for it and
tend more to move him to obey its laws
implicitly. The Government will gain
something in the reduced cost Of in
sDecting and will gain immensely in
the respect of the people who have
heretofore suffered what a contempor-
airy styles "the indignity" of personal
search, and refusal to take the solemn
declaration under oath as truth. The
experiment. will for the present be con-
fined to thesport of New York, but as it
is probable that it will work well there
the other ports of the nation will in
all likelihood come under the operation
of the same system

with the natives of the Philippines. We
must strive to understand the native
character, to discover Aguinaldos s
sources of supply, and then turn these
into agencies of trade for the settle
ment of the country.
Which is to say that we must con-
vince the natives that it will be more
profitable for them to trade through
our channels than to adhere to the linn
tied facilities Aguinaldo can afford
them. With carefully selected admin
istrators of affairs in the islands,sa
good understanding of native character
and sincere intent to win their good
will, Governor Clarke believes we can
and will successfully control the Phil
ippines. That has, however, been the
preaching of the best minds among
Americans from the outset. We are to
show the F'ilipinos that we do not re-
gard them as enemies, but wish to be
their friends; that we have their good
at heart, and that their welfare anu
ours run in common We are to show
them that when the forces of am ad-
vanced civilization confronts those OF
one below it, the former must prevail
that all progress proceeds along that
plane, that the mere liberty or freedom
to govern one self is hollow and profit
less if it proceeds upon a semi-barbaric
level or along non progressive roads.
