War Was Inevitable.

Neither the administration at Wash
inSton nor General Otis desired war
But il resulted from the encroa chments
of the Philippine forces upon our troops
at Enthusiastically a state of siege
with frequent insults to what they re-
garded as the cOwardly Americans. At
last the inevitable collision occurred.
MY own judgment is that the war
must be fought to finish; that is, the
rebel forces must be conquered and
their leaders compelled to accept such
government as the United States may
see fit to give to the islands. This
should be a government in which the
largest possible measure of indepen-
dence is given them.

FAMINE THREATENED,
The Price on all grades of Paper
has been Advanced.

Famine threatens the paper trade
and butchers and bakers are meditat-
ing the offering of a rebate for the
return of the yellow wrappings in
which their wares are delivered to
their customers. Low water in the
streams which supply the paper mills
is the cause of the scarcity, which is
even more alarming in New England
and the middle Atlantic states than
it is in the west. All grades and quail
tiles of papers, from the most delicate
tissue in which millinery CONNECTIONS
are sent home to their purchasers, to
the rough brown fibre sheets in which
corner grocers wrap salt mackerel,
have advanced in price 30 to 40 per
cent within the last thirty days, and
dealers and jobbers fight for chance
to buy even at advanced rates. This
great raise threatens to advance the
price of city dailies, and lucky indeed
is the country editor who has few
extra tons on neutrality-suspicious. Daily
