why IL is that the American outlook
is blacker now than it has been since
the beginning Of the war. General
Otis has never been out on the lines
nor seen the troops in action. The
maps are very poor but he relies on
them rather than on his officers de.
scriptons and the maps are most
inaccurate. Mr.. Bass says Generals
and other officers have repeatedly
told me that as things are now, no
officers are necessary
except General Otis. He is the only
American officer of the original army
in the FIlipines who has not seen
hight or skirmish, yet he persists in
debating the detail of movements TO

The Cry from Luzon.

The Washington correspondents
report that General Miles will sail for
the Filipines the last Of October,
with no Intentions Of, or orders to su
percede General Otis. He will however
act in his capacity OF general of the
army and will have a supervision of
held operations. "He will direct the
assignment Of the different regi
ments," though, "and participate in
mapping out plans Of campaigns" If
THIS be so 1t Is the overture to a

Miles privileges, rights and duties
end, General Otis privileges, rights

as in Cuba. IL is supposed by the
common people that General Miles
ranks every other officer in the army.
And yet If he be sent to the Filipines
under such ambiguous orders, it will
be the second time during this war
that the war department has walked
into an impossible situation with its

Trusts.


Against trusts war to the knife and
thc knife to the hilt Is likely to be
the slogan of both parties next year.
The trust, however, is compound OF
good and evil. 1t accomplishes large
results and makes large profits by Il
minimum expenditure Of energy and
capital. II is a labor and time saving
invention in methods and operation,
and since men first began to work
they have been inventing machines to
do handwork and to lessen the cost of
production by making fewer workmen
necessary. The years of adjustment,
after the introduction OF any great
machine, have been full Of suffering to
workmen, their opposition has failed
to Interfere with its use. The law
of development and discovery and of
combination to lessen friction Is as
indestructible and as little under the
control of man as the movement of
the heavenly bodies. 1t IS doubtful
if any political party can destroy
trusts because they have all the char.
acteristics Of the best machines, even
in the suffering they cause The
party which advocates their abolition
should be called upon by the doubling
voter to explain how their destruction
is to be accomplished and by what
means, under the constitution, men
bus mess together and pooling their
profits, losses, and expenses. There is
no question but that our present com
mercal system is unjust, and OppreS.

tyranny Of the socialists, system OF cs-
piOnage and restraint OF the individ-
