doubtedly serve 10 further crystalline

detract from the probable aims OF the
president. For. IL precedent may be
presumed upon, President Mckinley Is
awaiting exactly the sharp definition of
public opinion which Mr.. Johnsons ut

is doing as he did with great wisdom
during the Cuban discussion, namely,
refusing to be Jingoed into an express
sion Of policy until the situation has
been 80 thoroughly canvassed that
mistake Will be virtually impossible.
There can be few conscientious citi-
Eens who would not desire that In m

ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS.

Ny advice to the man who thinks It best
To tarry for q time in the great north
west.
Is to go to the right place, and there in
vest
In an India-rubber jaw.
For the many names you there do meet
While sounding wondrously soft and
sweet,
Are about the toughest lot to beat
OF any I ever saw.
Yes-there's Methow, Cheian, Wenatchee,
Skykomish,
Yakima, KHckitat, Cowlitx, Snohomish.
There's Ncoksack. Chehalis, Snequaimie,
Samish,
Duckabush. DosewallIps, Sopenah and
Wytamish;
There's La Conner. 'S1uimalt. Quiniault,
puwanlish,
Quiicene, Chalet and long Stillaguamish
And when by long practice DER these you
can gallop.
You can strain your gol-darndest. but fail
on Puyallup.

Cardinal Gibbons Views.

An interview with Cardinal Gibbons
by a former New Mexican, published to-
day, states that when the United States
restores order in the Philippine islands,
Roman Catholic interests there will
come under the jurisdiction of the
church officials in this country. The
change will result in more liberality and
progress in religious matters among the
natives than prevailed under the regime
of the Spanish priesthood in the islands,
if the conflict and animosity reported
to have existed have not been exagger-
ated. The American branch of the Cath
Ole church, like the American govern
ment, is conducted along more advanced
and liberal lines than is the ase in
Spain and her colonies, because Spanish
people have ever been oppressive in
forcing their rule and their religion up
on subjects. The church in America has
pursued a different course to extend its
influence, as shown by the pacific mis-
sions in Southern California, where the
Indians became Catholics and lived con-
tentedly under the sway of the priests,
who taught them to be farmers and
shepherds and to live as civilized citi-
zens. The Catholic church of the United
States will doubtless establish schools
and missions in the islands.

The Editorial PAGE.

Many newspapers have gradually
neglected the editorial page in their eff
fort to put forth a volume of news, I'M
der the belief that the people care little
for editorial comment. That belief is
true, as to the comment of a paper that
Is conducted on the theory that
thoughtless work in the editorial de-
partment will serve, and that any hack
writer who "a grind out trite sayings
and echo the speeches of politicians is
sufficient. But every newspaper that
has adhered to the custom of giving
thought to u%tterances with the purpose
of influencing public opinion along
proper ines has a full quota of readers
of it's editorial page, who are interested
in it's opinions.
OF course, the heavy editorial, with
it's two-column article, is a thing of the
past. The editorial reader wants to see
more han one topic touched. He wants
editorial homeopathic instead of in bulk
as Of yore. Nor does he care for ancient
history. Passing matters call for COM
ment. New discoveries must be caught
up with comment, and their value
gagged. Moreover, the editor is in a
sense the conscience of the paper and it's
Judgment. He determines not only what
is news, but also what weight to give to
it in presenting it to the public.
Editor McKelway, of the Brooklyn
Eagle, long known as one Of the ablest
men in his profession, said a word the
other day, in an address to a New York
club, for the editor and the editorial
pag "The editorial page" said Mr..
McKelway, "all contradiction to the
contrary Notwithstanding, is the most
important page Of the newspaper. The
news pages, by their fairness, their
clearness, their intelligence, their enter
prise, largely make evident the ability
and the resources of the sheet. But the
editorial page reflects not only the abil-
ity but the character of the journal; its
virtue as well as it's vigor, it's conscience
as well as it's capacity, it's courage as
we'll as it's conscience"

PRESS COMMENTS.
WAGE PHASE OF THE TRUSTS.
(St. Louis Republic.)

NAbE II1ASE oF LIE
Est. Louis Republic.)
Self-protection is the motive behind
the movement of the travelling statesmen
to organize in opposition to the growing
of the trusts. They see in this
multiplication of trade and industrial
combines a phase which affects their
bread and meat as it does the bread and
meat of other wage earners.
The travelling statesmen are intelligent
and influential. Banded together for
mutual protection, they a serve as an
important aid to other trust-opposing
forces in swelling the tide of public
opinion in favor of restrictive legiSla-
ton to curtail the now unlimited scope
of trust power.
Grounds for repelling trust formation
are many, but none is more pressing
than the fact that it enables the assem-
blage of vast sums under a single man
agement in the control of specific lines
of business, and thereby gives a max
imum opportunity to the employer to
curtail wages unjustly.
The task of keeping alive the wage
question, now while the general prob
lens of dealing satisfactorily with the
trusts in a Legislative and judicial way
are in process of solution, must fall up
on those whose livelihood is being jeop-
ardized by the reign Of trusts.

Calls the World lis Own.

The steel combination recently accom-
plished constitutes the greatest COM
mercial transaction ever known. Be
sides manufacturing plants, the new
company acquires 10000 acres of coke
land and 200 miles of railway, vast
bodies Of ore along Lake Superior,
steamer lines and water front.
Only capitalists of large means can
become stockholders in this trust. Its
plans are not limited to the narrow con-
fines of one continent. 1t proposes to
control the market of the world, and
English manufacturers may well be
alarmed for their trade, as the Carnegie
company has already been able to sell
rails in Great Britain.
1t is asserted that the earning capac-
ity of the new concern will be between
$40,0 900, 900 and $50, 900, 900 annually. The
business is constantly growing, and it
is proposed to use the additional capital
put into the company for the purpose
Of developing the export trade. The es-
Inmates Of earnings are based upon the
capacity of the plants which are now in
process Of construction. This giant
combination expects to enter into lively
competition with England.

s. s. s, FOR THE BLOOD

responsible for the sacrifice of most of
the lives lost in battle in the Philip
pines. Senator Hoar is a benevolent old
gentleman, who never has learned how
to set a squadron in the field, but prob
ably no general in the Spanish army in
Cuba has caused the death of so many
American soldiers as he. 1t is probable
that the Tagal insurgents would have
submitted without a struggle but for
the encouragement given them by the
dealings of the obstructionists with
Agoncillo, and the exaggerated reports
received by way of Hong Kong of the
other doings of the anti-expansionists
in this country. 1t is certain, at any
rate, that dealing with the insurgents
would have been easy, even had resort
to force been needful, had not factious
delay to ratification of the treaty COM
PEELED months Of delay and inaction in
were organizing their forces and gath
ering arms. Nearly every American
that has died in battle in the Philip
pines has been sacrificed to the Anglo
Saxon idea of freedom of discussion and
to the glorious privilege of every Amer
lean to make a fool of himself in public
affairs, no matter what it costs the
country and his countrymen.
A GOOD REPUBLICAN MEASURE.
Denver News.)
1t is a good point in the public's favor
that the Ford bill for taxing franchises
originated in New York and was pushed
through the legislature by the special
and persistent efforts of Governor
Roosevelt, who can not be accused of
western opposition to capital. One of
the most conservative papers published
in the east-with trade patronage only
is the New York Commercial. 1t de-
clares editorially that the passage of
the Ford bill for the taxation of public
franchises is of the greatest interest,
and it will mean, if the measure is sus-
tanned by the courts, the addition Of
millions of dollars to New York City's
revenue, and will increase it's borrowing
capacity by at least 800, 900, 900. This is
the judgment of those who have care
fully studied the matter, and there is no
reason to doubt this conclusion. 1.-THE
bill will result in the establishment in
actual practice of the principle that cor
porations enjoying profitable fran
chises, received from the public, shall
contribute in fair proportion to the fund
for carrying the general burden of pub
lie expenditure

The best friend of a W woman
is he who advises her to leave household
the open air. 1t is less expensive than
bicycling, less fatiguing than tennis,
and enjoyable when the habit is formed,
Three out of four women declare when
thus advised thai they a not walk,
though they may confess to ability to
waltz for hours on unyielding wooden
floors. Women who can not walk COM
fortably should learn to do so. The first
essential is a comfortable pair Of shoes,
then energy and determination not to
cease until the practice is acquired.

field and a railroad, the projectors of
the new company expect to make them
selves felt in the markets of the old

a speciality of structural iron work, for
they believe hat the use of iron in
building is still in it's infancy.

President Mckinley has had a year
of heavy responsibility, and needs the
rest of body and mind that he is now
able to take down in old Virginia. Not
once has he failed in his duty nor in
judging what was the wisest course to
pursue. A desire to push his W per-
sonality and political fortune during
the war does not appear to have influ-
enced him for n moment, as would
have been the case with a less evenly
balanced president.

The Texas legislature, at the request
of insurance companies, held up the an
THRUST bill until the Arkansas court
could decide upon the validity of a sim

law o. X. Then Texas added several
amendments to strengthen the bill, and
passed it almost unanimously. Thus do
berry and arbitrary treatment when once
aroused. Greedy combinations neve
stop at moderation, and they invoke
radical treatment. The Standard Oil
Company will yet be checkmated.

THEIR FUTURE PROSPECT.
indianapolis News.)


If the Filipinos will be wise enough to
cease the useless struggle; if they will
have faith enough to rely on our good
intentions, her we believe the future of
the Philippines is very bright. A gov
eminent will arise in which the natives
will have a large share, in which Amer
lean officers will be in the minority,
with functions which will be largely ad-
visory. The industries so long neglected
by the Spaniards will spring into full
usefulness; the ravages of the late
struggle will be repaired, schools will
be erected, law and order established,
and the Filipinos themselves will come
to bless the day when the United States
authority became supreme.
