And now it is said that the optimistic
Otis, who throughout the Philippines
warfare has heen "disintegrating"
the Filipinos and breaking the back"
Of their defensive campaign, has
changed his tune. In message sent
to President Mckinley, on Saturday,
he is said to have admitted what all
intelligent observers have known for g
long while, and that is that our force
there is far from sufficient to crush the
patriotic Filipinos into submission.
Otis says that about 30, 900 more soldiers
will be needed. 1t is altogether likely
that twice, that many will not be more
than sufficient, Judging from the brave
and determined resistance that has
been encountered from the first. II
the administration is insistent upon
crushing out the spirit Of patriotism
and Independence in the Philippines,
,let it adopt the only plan that promises
success that Of sending an overwhelm
ing force to do the work with prompt
ness and completeness. Better far, how
keyer, would be the calling of truce
and the ending Of the war in human'
lmanner, without furthericasualities oil
Neither side.

1t is reported from Washington that
at conference hold Tuesday after
noon President Mckinley and Secretary
of War Alger determined to increase
the regular army to the limit of 100, 900
men, for the purpose of more vigorously
prosecuting the war in the Philippines.
This means prolonging Of the struggle,
continuance of the enormous expense,
and further sacrifice of the lives of
brave men, for the prosecution of a
war in which there is neither principle
nor reason, and which, even by sue
cessful ending, can confer no lasting
credit upon the people of the United
| States
This determination of the administra-
tion indicates a desire to prolong the
war for partisan purposes. Active
operations, it is said, are to be resumed
after the close of the rainy season.
And if the Filipinos display the same
measure of resistance they have thus
far shown, the war will be continued
we'll into the year 1900.
| During the year 1900 this country
will engage in a camraign for the
Presidency, and Mckinley will be a
candidate for reelection. Should the
war meanwhile end with complete VIC
tory for the United States forces, the
Mckinley campaign managers will
expect to profit by the glory which
generally attaches to the winner Of
battles. Should 1t be prolonged by the
continued desperate resistance of the
Filipinos, appeals will be made to the
people to refrain, for patriotic reasons,
from swapping horses while crossing
, stream" Thus, the Mckinley cam
paign managers will hope to profit
politically, no matter which of these
| two phases the situation may present.
They propose to ''sot the trap to cotch
the coon a comm or goin'.'
But these designing politicians may
reckon without their host. The senti
, ment against this cruel and causeess
) war is growing constantly. injected
> as an issue into next years campaign
Y it may encompass the political de
t struction of those who hope to make i
their political salvation. The peopl
: of the country may decide to put /
r stern stop to the policy of imperialism

"lilling niggers, which thus far ha
o been relentlessly waged against
r people whose only crime is fighting fc

rar,rr. Tin ana trust comb on.

Prof. McVey of the University of
Minnesota, in note contributed to the
Journal Of Political Economy on the
subject of Trusts and the tariff, says
that there are some combinations SO
dependent on the tariff that the repeal
of the protective duties would destroy
both the combination and the industry.
He instances the Tin Plate combine as
one Of this sort, and gives figures to
chow how the tariff works in. this case.
The Tin-Plate Trust was formed last
December with capital of $50, 600, 900.
The selling price of tin-plate in Liver
pool is $3.50 per box. The cost Of pro-
duction in this country is 50. 10, and
the tariff is S1.62 per box, or 10 per
cent ao valorem. Since the formation
of the Trust the price has been raised
to $3.50 per box, which is about the
Liverpool price with the duty added.
In other words, says the New York
Evening Post, the Trust prevents the
consumer from getting the benefit Of
domestic competition in the manufac'
ture Of tin plate, and the tariff enable;
the Trust to accomplish this object.
There has been considerable chuckling
among the high tariff gentry over the
success of the tin plate industry in this
country, but in the presence Of thest
facts and figures the less we hear from
them the better. There never was an.
doubt that by paying 10 per cent more
for in-plate than it is worth in FREE
market we could have it produced a
home. Nor was there much doubt tina
the makers would combine to proven
domestic competition just as soon Al
the consumers began to derive an.
benefit from it.

Ir would Not be Hum,lia,iug.

There are thousands of good citizens
who are opposed at heart to the war in
the Philippines. They believe that it
never should have been started, and
that il is entirely without justification,
so far as the course of this government
is concerned. They sincerely believe
that the Mckinley administration made
grave mistake in permitting the war
to take place, and in reaching out for
the purpose of making, through the
medium of purchase from Spain, the
Philippine Islands part of the colonial
possessions Of the United States.
But while holding these sound
opinions, these good citizens take a
step in the wrong direction by main
tanning that it would never do for
this country, now that it has entered
upon the war, to stop at anything short
of the entire subiugation of the patriotic
Filipinos who are, and have been for
three centuries, lighting for liberty and
Independence. They hold that it would
be blow at national dignity for this
government to take any overtures in
the direction Of ending the war onsa
peaceful basis, but must continue the
combat until the Filipinos surrender OIL
are externinated.
We admit that this is hard view
to overcome, as it is in accord with
that phase of human nature which
insists, when once'enaaged in fight
regardless of its right or justice, upor
fighting until the last breath is gon,
rather than listen to suggestion o
surrender or compromise But can any
reasonable man maintain that thii
course is right9
1t is not to be considered, in thi
connection, that there is the rernotes
prospect that the Filipinos cal
eventually defeat the United States
On the contrary, it is as certain as any
thing can be, that the continuance q
the war will mean the eventual sub
jugation of these people, or their ute
annihilation. But should we, as
great and powerful people, desire :
force either alternative?
Which side can Better afford to call
halt, propose truce, and request
conference with the object Of bringin
the unfortunate war to closer Why
the stronger power, Of course. No otht
nation in the world, in the face of tt
fighting qualities our troops have di
played, and the splendid victories o,
navy has won, would dare to even il
sinuate that such an initiatory move /
the United States might be instigatt
by fear.
We are great nation, and we ca
afford to act manfully towards Il
patriotic people of the Philippil
Islands, instead of crushing them.
their fight for liberty, we should syr
rathize with them, instead of oppres
ing them. We should put stop
this war at once, and treat with the
on the broad basis Of justice, liber
and independence.

Three weeks after the awful defeat of
his party at the Wilmington city cleo
tion, when it suffered such a fearful
loss of votes and loss of prestige, the
writer of "Union Republican Glasses"
IN the Sunday Star has partially recov-
cred his wind. Here is the only consola-
tion that he is able, at this late date,
to evolve from that Waterloo of Adj
dicks Republicanism in Delaware:
In the meantime honors are easy.
The bolter Democrats-t Hartman
Bush Democrats-get nothing from
the city election. The bolter Republi-
cans elect one half-city tax district
candidate The Union Republicans
elect the only Republican candidate-
elect who was voted for all over the
city, and the only Republican to be
appointed to a city Office, as the imme-
diate result Of the election. is Union
Republican. The boiler Democratic
Republican candidate for mayor, and
the bolter Republican, Democratic can
didate for city solicitor, were defeated.
This is a bad year for boiler political
combinations.
This feeble cackle is inspired by a
realization of the fact that from this
election the Addicks Republicans man
aged to emerge with the city solicitor
to their credit, elected, however, by tn,
aid of Regular Republican votes. Tn,
Regulars whose votes elected him by
narrow margin so voted because the,
supposed ne was the candidate of thei
party. What their feelings will b
when they read this quavering note G
triumph by the historian of the Ad
dicks Republican party over the discoy
cry Of one CLEAN of light in the deadl
gloom Of defeat, we leave to imagins

But it is a small hole for the AZ
dicks Republicans to creep through
order to attempt to save remnant
their former prestige. The word h;
