VIEWS REGARDING TRUSTS.

There are so many sides to the trust ques-
ton that light regarding it must be sought
from all quarters. Only a careful investiga-
ton of the whole question and thorough
sitting of opinions can furnish the informa-
ton requisite to intelligent legislation on
the subject or to decide whether any legis-
lation will be effective or is. in fact. needed
1t is the opinion of some that the matter
will regulate itself through the natural law
of trade. Perhaps that is rather an optim-
istic view of the case, but it is entitled to
consideration along with other views 1t
was expressed by the latest witness before
the Industrial Investigation Commission,
Mr.. Charles c. Clark. of Peoria, Ill. As a
prominent distiller he knows the operations
of the whisky trust, and probably those of
other trusts are much the same. On the
point referred to Mr.. Clark expressed the
opinion that. in the end, all trusts would
fall OF their own weight, and that no legis-
lation was needed to control them. The
Journal does not recall any trust, except
that of the pottery manufacturers, that has
fallen by its own weight or failed through
natural causes. and their rapid multiplied
ton during the last year or two does not
indicate that this view is widely held, We. IL
is worth considering. Whether it is correct
or not could only be demonstrated by time
and experience.
An interesting expression from another
point of view is that Of George Barnes, a
weil-known English labor leader and secre-
tary Of the Amalgamated Society of Engi-
neers. He thinks trusts are an important
factor in the development Of American in
dustry and in the recent triumphs Of Amer
lean manufacturers. In a statement just
published regarding the labor situation In
England he says:
The great advantage enjoyed by American
producers arises from the Capitalization of
industry. American combines. whatever the
temporary result in the status of workmen,
have certainly resulted in the more econom-
ical use of labor. Capitalization and spe-
Civilization are giving enormous advantage
to American firms, and, as they
are entirely in the line of progress. We
would welcome them here.
The common opinion IN this country is
that trusts are detrimental to labor and
fatal to industrial enterprise. Perhaps this
English labor leader has not thought the
subject out carefully. but IL is at least in
teresting to find him expressing the view
hat as trusts are in the line of progress,
they wolld be welcome to England. This is
only one mans view. but. like others. it is
entitled to consideration.

STRONG WORDS FROM PULPIT
Bishop Gaines (COlOred) Denounces q
Crime in the South.

ATLANTA. Ga, May I5.-In a sermon de-
livered here Bishop Gaines, Of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church South, voiced
his sentiments against lynch law, yet con-
demning in severest terms the negroes who
commit the crime of rape II want to say
to-day" Said he, that he who apologies
for the crime of rape or has any sympathy
for the inhuman monster who commits this
crime. be he black or white, is an enemy to
God and a traitor to his race. In all the
catalogue of crime I can imagine no deed
more dastardy, no lend more foul and in
fernal, than the beast who would outrage
virtue and take from a good woman the
treasure of her honor. Perhaps If a man
were charged with rape and l had an X-ray
from heaven turned on him so that / knew
he was guilty. 1 would be williEs 10 turn
him over to the nob.'

ATKINsON's FILIPINO FRIENDS.
Sample Of the stun Sent to Europe by

LONDON, May 15.-The Filipino Junto
here has received the following message
from Aguinaldo. cabled from Hong-Kong.
under date of May II:
1.-The Filipino government, in accordance
with the general feeling of the country, has
decided to continue the war at all costs
until independence is secured.
THE Filipinos energetically refuse the
American peace overtures, based on re-
stricted autonomy, coupled with promises
of subsequent self-government.
1.-THE Filipinos demand q strict fulfllment
of the articles of the American Constitution
ard treaties contracted by the American
representatives when imploring a Filipino
alliance in combating the Spaniards.
"All the Filipino generals support Aguin-
aldo. General una reported overtures for
peace are untrue. Our army is near Manila,
simultaneously attacking the whole Amer
lean line.
1.-THE heat and the rains are causing many
casualties in the American army. All the
hospitals are crowded with sick and
wounded. -Four hundred of the Cincinnati
regiment have been imprisoned by General
Otis for INSTRUMENTATION in refusing TO fight.
The regular troops quartered in Manila and
other towns are quiet. The volunteers are
abused and are always at the front with
scanty rations. Tn discomfort between the
Americans and Europeans is general"

But the claim by these papers. and others
of their stripe. that 1t is necessary to lynch,
burn and mutilate negroes 'in order to pro-
tect the white women of the South cannot
be substantiated by in~disputable proofs. for
the white women during the late civil war,
when they were completely at the mercy of
the negroes, were not molested; there are
thousands of communities in the South
where negroes live in large numbers and
where white women have never been mo-
Tested. and Of the thousands of negroes who
have been lynched in the South during the
past ten or fifteen years, not one in a hun
bred was lynched for Outraging a white
woman. The truth of the matter is that the
white women OF the South are far more safe
in the most thickly settled negro districts of
Georgia, Mississippi and Texas than are the
colored women in the most thickly settled
white districts of those States.

Those papers in the South which seem
to be pleased at the suggestion that the
Philippines will make a good home for our
colored population forget that not more
than a dozen years ago the people of sew
eral localities of the South, wnen outsiders
organized colonies of colored people to go
to Kansas and elsewhere. took steps to drive
on the promoters of such emigration and to
keep the colored labor at home. 1t would
be a disaster for the South to lose a large
portion of its colored labor.

Lafayette Silver Dollar.

The secretary of the treasury has APP
proved the design for the new Lafayette
silver dollar submitted by the Lafayette
Memorial Association. On one side of the
dollar will be the heads of Washington and
Lafayette, and on the other a representa-
ton of the monument to Lafayette to be
erected in Paris in 1900. The wording will
be the same as on the standard dollar, eX-
cept that the words Lafayette dollar will
be substituted for lone dollar"
A question has arisen as to the authority
of the government TO coin in 1899 dollars
bearing the date of 1900. but 1T is thought
that this difficulty can be overcome readily.
The issue is limited to 10000 one-dollar
pieces, but IL Is the expectation that the
association will realize a much greater
amount from their sale. the minimum price
having been fixed at 81 each. For the first
coin issued several thousand dollars are ex-
pected to be realized.
