Mckinley Another George III


President Mckinley gives it out from
time to time how the Filipinos are
short of provisions and ammunition,
and how they must soon surrender or
starve in the wilds of Luzon. 1t was a
busy day with George Ill. IL he did
not feed his subjects on the same kind
Of trash. The total population of the
American colonies was about 100000
when they ''rebelled," and from the
moment they attacked tea ship in the
Boston harbor down to the recognition
of their independence the hand Of
Great Britain was against them. The
total population of our colony of the
Philippines alone is over 5000, 600. and
in order to start them in the rebellion"
business in good shape, the chief of
the Filipinos was fetched more than
1000 miles across the sea, from Singa-
pore to Manila via Hong Kong. by
President Mckinley, and sent ashore 70
organize and establish an independent
government, and in the kindness of his
heart our President gave the Filipino
chief arms and munitions Of war and
helped him in battle to overcome Span
ish sovereignty in the Philippines. No
nation ever had more Burrs and Blen-
nerhassets in its early days; no nation
ever had more political disputes and
disagreemeats as to public policy; no
nation ever had such civil war, nor
has any nation had more to contend
against every day than the United
States, but .'the flag is still there" and
it was placed there by TIE washing

incapable of self-government." Nc

train Of fourteen refrigerator ears,
containing salt pork intended for the Brit
ish army in South Africa, was wrecked
near kenilworth, ILL.,, on the Milwaukee
division of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railroad. The cars were completely de-
molished. but it is believed the greater
psrssof the pork can be saved. A serious
delay in shipment, however. will result.
The wreck is supposed to have been caused
by a broken journal. Hints were passed
among the crew of trainmen and specta-
tors to the effect that the journal had been
tampered with at Milwaukee by over
jealous Boer sympathizers, but these were
secuted at by officials of the road.

Why Exports Exceed Imports.

Our high tariff is admirably caiculat-
ed TO swell the export figures above
what is actually received. The trusts.
which are buttressed behind the tariff
help on the deception. They enable
manufacturers to advance prices in the
home market well up to what the tariff
will allow, at which price exports are
valued: and such are the resulting
profits in the home trade that manufac-
turers can well afford TO force the sur
plus production upon the foreign mar
ket at cost or slight sacrifice, rather
than to keep their machinery partially
idle.-Springfield Republican.

The name of the truly loil Mr.. Grisg3
has been mentioned in connection with
the vice-presidency. We fail to see
wherein Mr.. Griggs is eOmplimented
by this mention. As Attorney General
his mastery inactivity has been worth
all he cost the trusts, and to hide his
great abilities in the line Of neglecting
duty in the chair Of the presiding Off
Ger of the Senate, where he would now
and then be called upon to expose his
views on certain questions, would be
more than unkind. Mr.. Griggs has
earned the right to officiate as Attor-,
ney General as long as the party of.
trusts remains in power without being
assessed for a nomination that would
eclipse his fame-Omaha World Her.

Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, speak

an alliance from the viewpoint Of states

it would be one which, though they might
not know it, would be to the advantage of
