Our estate in the Philippines seems TO
have descended 20 us subject to II mort
gage in favor OF the Sultan, Of Sulu, or Of
joo, as he is indlilcrcntly called. BY a
treaty with Spain, concluded in 1875, that
potentate WAS z taned monopoly OF the
pearl fisheries and the trade OF the Sulu
archipelago, ana was given control OF the
local administration OF the islands. He
also became entitled to an annual subsidy
from Spain, in return for which he agreed
t. fly the flag Of his suzerian and cooper
ate with the latter in maintaining order
and suppressing piracy. 1t is proposed
relations with the Sultan on the basis OF
his treaty with Spain, and ten thousand
Mexican dollars have been sent him on
account OF his overdue annuity, Since
the Sultan is despot, and the Moham
medan law prevailing in his dominion
permits OF slavery, II will be extremely
interesting to note the means whereby
the administration will endeavor to
square the system OF government in the
Suu archipelago with the provisions OF
the federal constitutions Everett indie

General McReayc, just home from Ma
nila, tells us that on February 9th, the
day after the fighting began, Aguinado
sent word to Otis that the fighting opened
by accident and without his authority
and begged that it might cease. Since
then we have been pursuing these Fill
pinos and not they us, seeking to EXTERN
mate them. Only recently one OF their
bands refused to surrender until the very
last man Of them had been killed, and
every demand of them is th.t they shall
surrender every hope OF independence
and lay down their arms.
What incentive or justification have
we for all this? Did the birthright OF the
Fllipinos give them the right to exist
Have they sought to take any such right
from us? Does the Bible or our Declara-
ton of Independence grant us that right
1t it any more right for great nation
like ours to rob, steal and kill without
cause than it is for band Of the James
family or the Youngers? Are we not
seeking to force the annexation of the
Philippine islands for the purpose OF
plumber?
Do not our press and eXpansionists say
that we must have these islands for
trade? What motive is that but plumber
Is not that what the Tory party OF Eng
land did to us in her trade and navigation
laws? With her governors, agents and
army she tried to enforce these laws and
dove us to rebellion and separation
When that struggle came France be
iriendcd us and did more for us than we
have ever done for the Philippines.

There are two classes who seem to be
very much afraid Of giving the silver ques-

campaign. One is the democrats who

other is the republicans who do.

Just notice how soon "a crazy populist"
receives certificate of sanity upon his
return to the republican party. State
Senator Plummer, OF Spokane, is a case
in point. Lifted from a well earned OBJ.
security by the peoples party into the SEN
ate he was a particular object Of abuse
by the Hannaized press. Now, that he
has ''seen the light" the Tacoma Ledger
takes back all its former abuse and dis
cover that "Senator Pummer is good
politician. There is no doubt of that
fact. His work in directing political fights
in Spokane county has shown that. He
was one of Senator Turner's lieutenants
in the lat.er's fight for senator and dem.
onstrated political ability there" What
fools these readers OF the Ledger are
taken to be.

Many Men Of Many Minds

ATTENDANCE WAS SMALL
Louis =. Post Thinks tho solution OF
the Whole Dimculty is to be Found
in the Single Tax-views of
Some Other Members.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-(By Associated
Press.)-Workingmen, socialists, adj
vocates of the single tax and students
of political economy were heard this
morning at the conference on trusts
and combinations. The crowd which
greeted the first speaker, Jouis r.
Post, ofNew York, an advocate of the
single tax, was the smallest of the SEES
sion so far. Many delegates were not
in their seats, and the places reserved
for visitors were lonesome looking. He
was followed by Thomas j. Morgan,
on "The Trust From Socialistic
Point of View Then came Henry
White, secretary of the United Gar
ment Workers of America.
Post said that in the last analysis
the trusts cannot be perpetuated UNI
less they come to our own natural re-
sources of supply and distribution of
the land. abolish the tariff" he de-
clared. abolish all monopolies that
can be abolished; take public high
ways for public use; collect from the
land owners the annual value of their
special advantages; do that, and you
put an end to trusts. You can do it in
no other way" Morgan said: ''The
socialists see an end of the feudal sys-
TEN. They see the domination Of
landed aristocrscy destroyed and the
rising Importance of manufacturing
and business interests; they see the
employer and merchant stepping into
the imperial parliament and taking
charge of the nations; they welcome
the appearance Of the trust as one of
the natural, inevitable products OF
our industrial and commercial sys.

John W. Hayes, secretary of the

SHAW LEADS DELEGATION.
The Meth odist Conference Chooses
Repr eseuta,ives.

|
Denison, Sept. 49, Yesterday was a
day of unusual interest and impor-
lance, The lay and ministerial confer
ences both met in different churches.
Each body had about $50 delegates. A
caucus meeting had been held by the
lay delegates last evening and when
the lay conference proper opened af-
ter electing president and secretary,
Governor L. NJ. Shaw was elected to
lead the delegation to the general con-
ference by reclamation. This is one of
the greatest honors that could be con-
ferred by the body. The full lay deli
egatin is: Governor L. NJ. Shaw, John
Gibson, of Creston; A. ii. Roberts, OF
Audubon; Senator Allen, of Mt. Ayr;
H. X. Dewey, of Guthrie Center; A. e.
Rea, of Corydon.
At 10 a. M. the ministerial confer
ence began its election of delegates,
There were four. ballots cast. On the
first ballot there were fully forty cam
didates. Two were elected, Rev. z. NJ.
Holmes, of Boone, who led his delega-
ton with lis votes, and Rev. w. T.
Smith, of New York City, following
closely with III. On the second ballot
VIM. Stevenson, of Osceola, and T.
Mex. Stewart. of Grace church. Des
Moines, were elected. The third ballot
did not elect, but the fourth elected
two more Des Moines men, f. L. Eaton,
of First church, and Rev. J. II. Senseny,
presiding elder of the district.
Both the lay and ministerial delega-
tons are said to be very strong, and
much satisfaction is expressed by the
bodies in their selection.
AT 1l:3O the laymen as body ap,
peared before Bishop l. w. Joyce, and
the conference suspended business
while the bishop delivered very prof
liable and interesting address to them.
There was class of eight young min
listers elected to elders orders. The
character Of all the worn out preachy
ers was passed, and those present adj
dressed the conference, many OF them
telling the difference between the life
of the Nj. Z. preachers in Iowa now
and what it was thirty to thirty-fve
years ago.
Robert Titmarch. Congregational
minister of Des Moines. was admitted
into the Methodist ministry, and Rob-
ert Chambers came into the Methodist
conference from the Methodist Pro
testgnt church.
Boone, Atlantic, Shenandoah and Os,
ceoa We're working very hard to get
HE session of the next annual confer,
ence, but the First church of Boone
came GU. ahead.
The whole day was filledovith very
fine addresses, notably those delivered
by Bishop |. w. Joyce, Hon. W. F.
Berry, of Sndiano!a, aud Hon. L. T..
Gatchel, OF Des Moines.
A number of the reports have been
presented, but, those likely to cause
the, most discussion have not as yet
been brought forward. IN the after
noon the womnn's foreign missionary
meeting was held. w. b. Thompson
presided.

T..E ADVANCE IN us,Ln.
Dairymcn Put Up tho Price, Because
They are Short Of Pasture.

At recent meeting OF the Ottumwa
Dairymen's Union, the price of milk
was raised and a uniform scale OF
prices was adopted The officers of
the Union are: j. +. Bier, president;
e. L. Daggett. secretary, and James
Hatch, treasurer. The direct cause OF
this rise in the price of milk is the
shortage of pasture and the advanced
price of feed. Milk is getting scarce,
and continues TO get more so from day
10 day, Notwithstanding that the COWS
are heavily fed. Most OF the milk deal
ers are compelled TO buy milk to ac-
commodate their customers. The scale
recently adopted by the Dairymen's
Union is for the coming winter, and
during that time it is probable The
price will not advance. The scale is:
Sixteen quarts for 500 to customers
saking plnts ard quarts.
Eighteen quarts for s1.0o to custo-
ners taking two quarts per day.
Twenty quarts for $1.oo to custo-
mers taking more than two quarts
per day.

Speaks on Trusts to big Audience In
Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-By Associated
Press. )TCentral Music Hall was pack
ed today when WI. Bryan rose to
speak on monopolies. He was greeted
with tumult ofsapplause. The fa-
nous iNebraskans entered the hall so
quietly that his presence was noted by
few. Not till he walked upon the
stage did the mob of men and women
who fought their way into the house re-
allied that the probable next democratic
candidate for president was with them.
1t was reported that Bryan had set
of resolutions up his sleeve, presuma,
bly, antagonistic to the trusts, but the
Nebraskan denied this to an Associated
press reporter before he began TO
speak. Il have not prepared" said
he, and am not sure whether have
time to prepare any for presentation. !"
Bourke Cochran listened to the NeDras-
kan's address intently, joining FREE
quently in the applause.
When the applause subsidized, Bryan
began his address and was frequently
interrupted by applause as he pro-
ceeded. He declared that more trusts,
the amount of capital and the nlagni,
tude of the interests involved being ta-
ken into consideration, have been or
ganized within the last two years than
in all previous history of the country.
and the people had come face to face
with the question:: rs the trust a
blessing or elrse?" If curse, what
remedy could be applied? He then
enunciated the proposition that mo-
popoly in private hands is indefensi-
bic from any standpoint, and intolera-

no good despotism. If the trust" he
continued, will sell an article for a
dollar less than it will cost under 9TH
er conditions, in the opinion of some
that proves the trust good thing"
He denied that prices were reduced
under monopoly, and said that, even
If they were, the objections from 9TH
er standpoints far outweigh the finan-
ciai advantages the trust would bring.
He protested against bringing every
thing down to the level OF dollars and
,epts, and quoted Abraham Lincoln's
aging. 1.-THE republican party be-
ieves in man and dollars; but in a
ease of conflict, believes in the man be-
'ore the dollar.' This he followed with
u reference TO the message by Lincoln
warming the country against the APP
proaehf of monarchy in the attempt to
put capital on an equal or superior
footing to labor in the structure OF the
government. Following this up, the
speaker declared. amid applause: 'Man
is the creature of God; MONEY is the
creature OF man. Money was made to
be the creature of man. i protest
against all theories that enthrone
money and debases mankind.'

THE DAVIS COUNTY FAIR.
It Was a Tremendous Success This
Year-Some of the Attra ctfons.

Bloomfield, Sept. 16.-The past four
DAYS of this week witnessed the most
prosperous annual fair that has been
held in this county for a number OF
years. For the past few years the date,
which was set fora.Ahgust, proved a
disadvantage both in regard to weather
and the preparation of farm produce,
which later in the season would have
shown better results. That mistake
was, however, ohyiated in the present
instance as the fair season is now in
its prime. The exhibits in all depart
ments were excellent. The art halLwas
particularly attractive, its several de-
partments each showing many new ar
ticles OF interest. The floral depart
ment, superintendent by Mrs. Giller;
the educational department, under
County Superintendent Huff, and the
fruit exhibit, superintendent by Jim
ROUGH, made excellent showings, while
the crocheting, knitting and embroid-
cries. under Mrs. w. Fl. McAehran,
made larger exhibit than ever before,
there being twice as many entries as
could be displayed The display in
Battenburg lace work was particularly
fine. The pantry department was also
NS'i AttSHs ''hS W'ii'so, ~ eS1chct cuNiiSS
in apple jelly alone. The department.
of grains and vegetables, superintendent
by Israel Jenkins, made fine showing,
corn being the leader, both in quality
and entries. Potatoes and pumpkins
were next on the list. The most beau
tiful display was the art exhibit under
Mrs. i. L. Mathews, in which drawn
work, sophia and water colors formed a
pleasing picture. The poultry display
was the largest exhibit ever shown on
the ground. Buck g. Craven, of Milton,
made the largest showing. and took
quite number of first premiums out of
eighty entries. j. II. Woolua, of Rich
mond, made sixty entries j. NJ. Duff
field, of this city, took number of
first and second premiums. The cattle
exhibit was not SO large as heretofore.
The largest exhibitors were w. e. Ho-
lsins & Son, of Milton, and W.. l.. Me-
Nef. of Dfakesville. 1he exhibit of
horses was larger than for number
of years. r.. NJ. Commack took the
greatest number OF. first premiums.
Sheep and hogs made an average show
ing. Shooting matches, ball games and
horse races had their part in the list
OF attractions. The most popular din
ing hall on the ground was conducted
by the ladies of the Christian church,
who served breakfast, dinner aud sup
per each day, and by thus feeding the
multitude Melted handsome sum for
church purposes. The Davis county
fair of 1899 was a marked success,

Platte Canon, Colo, Sept. 1s.-walter
Banes. his wife and two children were
found dead yesterday in their cabin
at the upper end of the canon. The
bodies showed no signs of violence and
the house was undisturbed, leaving the
impression that the father had poison
ed the rest and then lay down to die.
The tragedy was probably due to the
poverty of the family, as the father had
been out of work for some time owing
to suspension of sawmill in the vi
cinity. The bodies were all carefully
lying in one bed. A tin cup at the side
of the bed, showing dregs, was the only
indication OF the course pursued by the
parent.

aside all other questions. If we can
not now settle it we are sure to find a

will be anxious to unite in the patri-

If we cannot now have Justice done us

fortitude will quality us to await the
