FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
1t does not seem desirable that [
should recommend, at this time, a
specific and final form of govern
ment for these islands. I have be-
lieved that reconstruction should
not begin by the establishment of
one central civil government for
the islands, with its seat at Manila,
but rather chat the work should be
commenced by building from the
bottom municipal governments,
and then provincial governments,
a central government to follow last.

siastic over the establishment of
the Gorder iron foundry and
machine shops at Devils Lake, and
thinks that the enterprise will be
of greater benefit to the city than
anything else it could have secured.
He thinks that with a fax fibre mill
located here Devils Lake will catch
the patronage of all the farmers for
many miles in every direction.
After the -four mill is again in run
ming order and the iron foundry
established, the business men
should make a strong effort to
secure a fax mill.

COMBINES ARE TRUSTS.
It is universally conceded that
combinations which engross or
control the market of any parti-
cular kind of merchandise or COM
modify necessary to the general
community, by suppressing natural
and ordinary competition whereby
prices are unduly enhanced to the
general consumer, are obnoxious
not only to the common law but
also to the public welfare. There
must be a remedy for the evils in
volved in such organizations, If
the present law can be extended
more certainly to control or check
these monopolies or trusts, it
should be done without delay.
Whatever power the congress pos
sesses over this most important
subject should be promptly a
tanned and asserted.
FUTURE OF CUBA.
New Cuba, yet to arise from the
ashes of the past, must need be
bound to us by ties Of singular in
timacy and strength if it's endur-

Whether these ties shall be or

TIMES of Cuba are in some right
full form and manner irrevocably

how far is for the future to deter

Whatever be the outcome, we must
see to it that free Cuba be a reality,
not a hasty experiment bearing
within itself the elements of
failure.
PROMISE OF INDEPENDENCE.
It is enough to say that the
claim Of the rebel leader-that he

any officer of the United States in

foundation in fact. and is cata-

nesses who were called to prove it.

Who could make Il bobtail flush look like three

But the tales that deal with poker bluffs no
