Manila, May 22.-The Filipino COM
missioners who arrived here on Satur-
day to negotiate with the United States
commissioners had a conference this
morning with Messrs Schurman,
Worcester and DENLY. They say that
they are without power to bind the So
called Filipino government in any par
ticular and can only refer any results
of the present negotiations to Aguin-
aldo.
The Filipino commissioners General
Gregorio del Pillar, Lieutenant Colonel
Alberto Barreto, Major Zealeita and
Senior Gracio GonZaga, with their fam
lilies, spent yesterday in visiting friends
in Manila, and conferred with Senores
Florlento Torres, Pablo Ocampo and
Teodoro Yanco, the members of the
local Filipino association. who will
participate in the meetings with the
American commissioners. Senior Torres
was a member of Aguinaldos commits
sion before the war. He opposes indie
pendence and favors autonomy, and he
has been most influential in persuad-
ing the followers of Aguinaldo TO make
the present advances
Autonomy is the burden of the talk
of the Filipinos and it is thought that
the kind they wish for would be little
different from the scheme of an Amer
lean protectorate, which they talked of
before the war.
Plan of Autonomy.
Senior Palermo, who has succeeded the
irreconcilable Mabini as president of
the so-called Filipino cabinet, is a
student and a writer of ability He
once drew up plan Of autonomy under
Spain, which the Spanish government
promised to adopt, there then being a
troublesome rebellion on foot The
American commissioners, in studying
the question of the Philippine govern
ment, have found several good points
in this scheme. Palermo is now the
strong man in Aguinaldo's party.
All the moneyed leaders of the in
Surrection see that it is hopeless and
are anxious for peace. Those who
want money think they may profit by
harrassing the Americans a while
longer.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Schurman,
president of the American commission,
the local Filipino peace party has
started a newspaper.

A Farmers Trust.

A proposition to organize a
Farmers Trust was outlined in a
unique set of resolutions introduced
at the session of the Delaware
State Grange on Wednesday, at
Dover. The resolutions tell their
own story:
WHEREAS, Combinations are the order
of the day, and are derogatory TO the in
terest of the individual farmers, we, as
farmers, who bear the brunt turn now, in
anxious inquiry, as did Susan B. Anthony
during the Civil War to Horace Greedy,
to know when the woman's time should
come and was told TO step aside as it is
the negro's time now.
WHEREAS, The time for the farmer is
not now here nor never will be here until
they are thoroughly organized in defense
with live man as president of the com
bination; one who knows that potatoes
cannot be grown at profit for six cents
per bushel; nor corn at Fl cents; one
having knowledge of the markets of the
world and of transportation facilities,
therefore
Resolved, That the farmers unite in
making head centre for the receipt of
all farm produce and the fixing of price
which will give generous recompense
for labor expended.

The New York Journal on the
Message.

FROM R. P. BLAND TO J. P. MORGAN.
Mr.. Mckinley, whose vote is recorded
along with that of Richard P. Bland in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of I6 to I, and i'll favor
of bill prohibiting the further retire
ment of legal tender notes, is now thor
oughgoing advocate of the gold standard.
But he cannot be straightforward even
now-it is not in his nature. He must be
shifty-he does not urge the adoption of
new policy; no; he merely wants addi-
tional power ito support the existing gold
Standard by selling gold bonds, locking
up greenbacks, Transforming them into
gold certificates, and other trifing little
details of that kind.
WISDOM ON TRUSTS.
But it is in his treatment of the subject
oftrusts that the President shines most
conspicuously. He devotes column to
that topic He quotes Harrison and
Cleveland, and as he warns up he catches
the very trick of style that was supposed
to be the exclusive property of the plat
itudinous ponderosity of Princeton Eut
i'll the end he reaches this luminous
conclusion
"rhe whole question is so important and far
reaching that / am sire no part of it will be
lightly considered. but every phase of twill have
the studied deberation of the Congress, resulting
in wise and judicious action
You need not hope to get vision of
Mr. Mckinley by direct illumination.
You must catch him by a side light, and
fortunately this very message furnishes
an abundance of cross rays by which we
may test the sincerity of his reprobation
of trusts. For instance:
I. The postal revenues are suffering
about equally from two leaks, one the
wide extension of the privilege of sending
printed matter at second class rates,
whcih is good for the public, and the
other the.extravagant prices.paid to the
railroads for carrying the mails, which
are good for the corporations The Pres
ident urges restriction of second class
priviles and says nothing about reducing
the enormous gratuities annually iavished
upon the railroads.
2. The navy has been embarrassed for
some years by a combination of steel
manufacturers which has prevented it
from obtaining armor at reasonable rates.
The President proposes to relieve the
navy by removing all restrictions on the
price of aruor, but does not advise Con-
gress to make the service independent of
the trust by providing for the constrnc-
ton of a Government arinor plant.
8. Every trust i'll the country derives
its power for harm from special privileges
of some sort, such as railroad discriuina-
ton or tariff favors Mr. Mckinley does
not suggest the abolition of any of these
privileges.

disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive

Catarrh being constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.

Shorter Hours.

Hon. William Seller of New York,
made the following argument for shorter
hours for labor in speech at the Texas
State fair:
I'm my Judgment no man ought TO be
compelledto work more than eight hours
a day. There are in this country today it
is said on good authority upwards of
1000, 900 people out of employment
Labor organizations all over the country
are asking for enactment of an eight
hour law. 1t is flair and it is a just
remedy. Too long hours make the wage
Garner poor Workman Shorter hours.
in my opinion will produce better results
all around and for all interests concerned
Statistics conclusively prove that every
decrease in the number of hours consti
tutiug legal work day has been for the
advancement of toilers and the progress
of the masses. We who believe il, the
short hour theory contend, and defy sue
cessful contradiction, that to this system
can be traced the decrease of poverty,
pauperism, vice and ignorance among the
people, and their moral, social and fnan-
cial advancement and improvement.
Decreasing the hours of toll increases
the demand for labor, and the more de-
mand for labor, as the price of labor is
regulated by supply and demand, the
higher the wages that will be paid. II
also increases the consumption of the
products of labor, and hence increases the
demand for production. Thus this policy
in every way aiding, helping, elevatine
and beneiiting the working man, widen
ing individual opportunity, making times
better instead of worse, and at the same
time building up OIL sure and firm foun-
dation the industries of the country"
This philosophy is self evidently sound.
1t would cause the products of labor to be
distributed more evenly among producers
and prevent the wealth which labor
creates from falling so disproportionatel
into the possession of non producers. The
unequal distribution of wealth by the
oppressively long hours which are forced
upon labor tends to glut the labor market
with idle hands,, reduce the wages of
labor, destroy or curtal the ability to
consume because of the inability of forced
idleness TO earn. The profits Of the master
are increased but the bulk of the COM
munity suffer for the qualification fgreed
of the few. All labor shares alike this
evil. The farmer, the mechanic, the
artisan. No producer escapes. The in
jury to one is the concern OF all.
From idleness and restitution caused
by the unequal distribution of labor spring

society, drunkenness, insanity, physical

"The Man With the Hoe. !"

The following is a true picture of the
peasant farmers of Europe, made so by
burdens placed OH their backs by kings,
mobiles and other idle classes, with great
armies in their control. Our rulers now
in power are steadily shaping the gov
of the United States after old
warming from ''the man with the hoe"
before it is too late
God made man in He image in The image Of
God made He him Genesis.
Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never hopes,
stolid and stunned, brother to the OK?
Who ioosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this browq
Whose breath blew out the light within his brain?
Is this the thing the Lord God made and gave
To have dominion over sea and land;
To trace the stars and search the heavens for
power;
To feel the passion of Eternity?
Is this the Dream He dreamed who shaped the
And pillared the blue armament with light?
DOWNFALL the stretch of He'll to its last gulf
There is no shape more terrible than this
More tongued with eensure of the worlds blind
greed
Mere filled with signs and portents for the soul
More traught with menace to the universe.
What gulfs between him and the seraphim
Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him
Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades?
What the long reaches OF the peaks of song,
The rift of dawn, the reddening of the rose?
Through this dread shape hesuffering ages look
Times tragedy is in that aching stoop:
Through this dread shape humanity betrayed,
Plnndered, profaned, and disnherited

Give back the upward looking and the light;
Rebuild in it the music and the dream;
Make right the immemorial infames,
Perfdious wrongs, immedicable waesP
masters, lords, and rules in all lands
Fl Nv will the Future reckon with this Man?
How answer his brute question in that hour
When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the world
How will it be with Kingdoms and with kings
With those who shaped him to the thing he is
When this dumb Terror shall reply to God,
After the silence of the centuries?
