Grave News From L.,zon.

The other day The Times very point
edly asked the War Department to say
what had become of Macarthur? That
question is fully answered in a Man Ia
despatch which Will be found in our news
columns. Ii is quite unnecessary to call
the attention Of our readers TO the OBJ
vious fact that the latest news from the
front Corroborates the view CT this jour
mai in regard to the position of our north
ern column and demonstrates al the same
time the disengenCous nature of recent
War Department bulletins and alleged
cable reports.
a few days ago the authorities gave it
out that the rebels were north of San
Fernando and that the Dagupan Railway
line from that point TO Manila was open.
In the summary OF the situation issued en-
the twenty-sixth ultimo and said to be the
work Of General Otis. our forces were rep
resented as holding a line sixty miles
long. from San Fernando to linus. Tie
Times disbelieved the statement and said
so. II Eow appears that our estimate of
the situation generally, and of that of
Macarthur particularly, was correct.
Instead of holdiBg the rebels at bay
north of San Fernando. our forces there are
surrounded and regularly beseged accord
ing TO the press dispatches. An assault is
imminent and il is stated that troops will
have TO be sent from Manila TO the relief
OF the northern column. Coincidently,
there is every prospect that Wheaton will
be attacked fercely al linus. The weak
eaing oi the Manila garrison may encour-
age an outbreak OF Denbys "friendlies' in
the city but. if that should not happen
just yet. we may confidently look for an
effort 10 capture the pumping station and
cut OF the water supply
On the whole it looks very much as if
the Fourth of July in our Eastern possess
sions is TO be marked by an unusual dis
play of fireworks

Distinction With "a Difference.

In this era OF corporation ridden politics
some admiration is aroused for the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial nominee in Kentucky
by his bold and outspoken attitude
Il shall make the principal issue of the
campaign" declares the Hon. William
Goebel, the effort Of the Louisville and
Nashville Railway to control the politics
OF Kentucky. That corporation sought to
select the Democratic nominee, and. failing
in that. viii endeayor to elect a Republi-
can governor / shall be glad of an oppor-
tunity TO measure swords with them, po-
litically. They viii oppose me and / viii
oppose them. The railroad company will
be out Of Kentucky politics when this cam
pagn is over
If the Goebel indictment is true his
words are brave. If the Louisville and
Nashville is attempting ito control the
politics Of Kentucky" and if Mr.. Goebel's
campaign is directed mainly to the effort
to drive the railroad company out of poll
tics. every friend of good government ir-
respective of party affiliation, should ar
IDENTIFY hope for his success.
But. by the same token, every friend of
good government should as ardently hope
that Mr.. Goebel will cease his fight on the
railroad as soon as he has driven it out
OF politics. The weakness of human l.ature
is such that, if Mr.. Goebel is only an aver
age politician. We fear he will not stop at
The proper place in his war should he be
victorious. Let Mr.. Goebel have a care,
lest he extend his efforts to drive the Lou
isville and Nashville Railway out of Ken
fucky politics TO an attempt TO drive the
'-'-"nration out Of business. That is the

England 3 where trusts abound came into
being without any mother at all. and like
Topsy, Just growed up Trusts exist
in articles that are absolutely independent
OF the tariff as we'll as in those which ENJOY
protection. If an effective remedy or Sc
curity against these combines is to be
found il must be one which will reach all
alike. While combinations have been
formed and colossal aggregatons exist in
the control Of products which are entirely
outside of all tariff rates, it may be that the
protection enjoyed by some articles is used
as bulwark for selfish agreements and
enhanced prices. and in such cases, where
clearly established, protection should be
taken away.
" Protection, in its just aim. is designed
not to stifie but 10 encourage competition,
and where ii is abused those who abuse it
forfeit their right to its support. The trust
question will doubtless play some part In
politics in the coming campaign Neither
party, however, is responsible for the
trusts, Both parties will condemn them.
" IT is quite possible that if one makes a
loud. noise on the question the other viii
seek some effective measure of redress, and
so it is difficult to see how it can be made
sharp or vital issue
:" What of the political outlook
" The political outlook appears TO me
tion of the President and the Vice Presi-
dent, and the Republican party will go into
the campaign upon the platform OF the
general and great success CT the Admins
tratiCn'
" VIII expansion be an issue in this
campaign?
Yes and no. As sharp and distinct
issue with an affirmative and a negative
think there will be little place for it,
The expansion resulting from the Spanish
war will have been an accomplished fact
AS Texas Governor recently sad, We
have done expanded" l 90 not belisve the
people will be IN favor of giving Up what
has thus come to us.
" i doubt very much if any party will
be bold enough TO array itse.f in favor of
come into cur possession. But there may
be shades OF difference. There VIII he
questions of the form which our coEtIoi
may take, whether full sovereignty with
autonomous local government or a large
measure of local independence under a
protectoIate. etc.
. Such issues without involving a di-
rect declaration against the expansion
which has been achieved may develop into
an appearance of general opposition. If
so, it will only operate against the party
which puts itself in that false attitude,
for the American people are not the kind
TO take backward steps.
. Events have shaped our national
course for the past year beyond the con-
troll of any individual or party

PiIinG Wood While Governor.
(From the Chicago Chronicl


''TTncle Dick was honest himself. and re be
lievcd in making other people be 50, just far
as it lay within his power. The principle of the
thing appealed TO him, and false rule lie de-
spised- In 1865. when he governor for the
first time, he ordered ten cords of irewood from
a farmer, who was TO cord the wood up in the
governors yard The governor watched until
three cords had been piled. Then he could stand
it no longer, and walking up to the farmer, he
said:
''You are piIing that wood too loosely. By the
time YOU get it piled you'll be giving me eight
cords for ten. Now, mind you, | won't pay for
So
The farmer, evidently Aisgusted at being told
how to do his own work, answered that he guess
ed he knew how TO cord wood as well as any
body and challenged the governor to do it bet
ter ii he could. That .Uncle Dick would take
him at his word never occurred to him. but il
wasn't the first time the geod old gentleman had
corded wood, and, governor governor out
he went. When Q farmer had brought the wood
all in Uncle Dick had corded every stick of it
over again and got it into eight cords Then he
made the farmer bring him in two cords more.

Senator CullOm's Experience With
the Antf-Expansionist

Senator Cullom recently received in his
mail some anti-imperialistic literature
from Edward Atkinson. He mused a good
while over the same. He had seen it in
the newspapers, but there was a famili-
arity which did not seem to come fem
Atkinson's newspaper notoriety. After a
while it all came back to the Senator, and
he told a caller about his experiences with
Atkinson.
Il see this Boston chap is talking in the
newspapers" the Senator said. We'll

man tried to tell US something Of the
monument. OF course, we knew there was
such a place as Bunker Hill, bat | am

about il as about railroads. But the FIRE
insurance chap, named Atkinson, didn't let

see what those things had 10 DO with ire

Edward Atkinson and we would have TO

railroads again, and said he would BE-
