The New York Suss in an editorial in
last Sundays edition says that Mr..
Bryan is right for once and quotes him
as saying that "the Republican party
is impotent to destroy trusts"
1t goes on to say that .'the Republi-
can party and the Democratic party
and every other party is impotent
against trusts" and then goes on to
talk about the denunciation of trusts
by politicians and platforms as mere
political defamation.
OF course every one knows that all
the denunciation of and yituperation
against trusts that the Republican par
ty will indulge in will be mere politi-
cal defamation for the purpose of de-
ceiving innocent voters. 1t is we'll
known that the trusts will control the
next Republican convention and die
tate its platform, and that the Repub-
lican. candidates will be pledged to
betray the voters and defend the trusts,
and that the trusts will support the
Republican candidates and contribute
an enormous corruption fund to buy
the election. Under these circumstan-
ces any person not a natural born idiot
will readily understand that the anti
trust TRADES of Republican spellbinders

for the purpose of holding in line a
class of voters for whose intelligence
and independence they have little re-
spect.
But the trusts themselves well know
that il the articles they control are to
be put upon the free list that foreign
competition will assert itself and their
despotism in domestic trade will fall to
the ground. The money kings aud
bond holders well know that with silver
restored to its rightful place in our
coinage that the general level of prices
will advance and that individual enter
prise will have a chance to prosper
again and that the trusts will be una
BILE to crush out individuals and firms
under such circumstances. The editor
of the San well knows that Mr.. Bryan
was right and he further knows that
the Democratic party can destroy the
trusts and that the success of the
Democratic party next year will mean
the doom of not only the Industrial
combinations but the parent trust of
trusts. the money power in America.

Single Tax Question.

Editor Register-The REGISTER re-
Gently said: ..If the Single Tax will
furnish revenue without burdening the
public will it not increase government
al extravaganza and corruption?"
According to Henry A Robinson, ex-
statistician of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, the taxes levied
in the United States by the National,
State, county and municipal govern
ments in the year 1891 aggregated
1916. 100000. The ground rent and
royalties (all ground renD paid that
year by labor for the use of timber,
mineral and quarry lands and water
power and for improved city and town
lots, according to the same authority,
amounted to 1896, ,OOO,O 900.
AS the single tax contemplates the
appropriation of the rent fund for the
support of government, in lieu of
taxes, these figures demonstrate that
the single tax will furnish sufficient
revenue. AS ive-siXths of the land in
the country which is now held idle,
would, under the single tax, be thrown
open for labor to use, it is plain that
rents would fall. But the expenses of
government would fall corresponding
ly with with it's revenue. Then with
the increase of population, enhanced
land values would meet the require
ments of an increased public expendi-
ture.
AS the single tax, I. e., rent, is now
paid in addition to taxes, if the former
were retained as a tax and the public
were relieved of present taxes, it is
obvious that the public burden would
be lessened. As rent is the premium
that all are willing to pay for the ex-
elusive possession of certain locations,
it can not be considered a burden in
the sense that taxes are now burden.
At least not when rent would be ex-
pended in public benefits.
AS the single tax system compre-
hends the abolition of the tariff, public
ownership of railroads and all other
public utilities and the revocation of
all special privileges, there would no
longer be any beneficiaries of those in
stitutions to corrupt the government
and lead it into extravaganza.

sending back word.
My trip for a thousand miles has

the city spreads north, south, east and

Kansas City is bustling, rapidly
growing city with street cars running
at an angle of almost forty-five de-

The Work Of the General Assembly.

In summing up and estimating the
work of the regular session of the For
tieth General Assembly its record
should be considered dispassionately
and in comparison with the record OF
other similar bodies. 1t is easy enough
to criticise unjustly. tits difficult often
to get away from partisan considera-
tions and preconceived prejudices and
weigh matters calmly and judicially.
When this careful consideration is
given, however, to the work of the as
sembly it will be found to compare
favorably with the record OF any pre-
ceding body.
The revision of the statutes. which,
under the constitution. must be &C
complished every ten years. was the
chief work of the session. This revi-
sion, when published, will be found to
be the most complete, accurate and
well-considered made by the legislature
since the constitution was adopted. 1t
is far superior to the revision of 1889
when only forty-eight chapters were
revised.
Some important new legislation has
been placed upon the statute books.
Most stringent antitrust legislation
has been enacted. The beer tax bill
was passed. The road law was i'm
proved. Some valuable additions were
made In the school law. A new insane
asylum, a home for the feeble minded
and state fair were established and
new buildings were added to several
state institutions. The collateral in
heritance tax was passed. The appro-
priations, though liberal, were kept
substantially within the estimated
revenue. Several important constitu-
tional amendments, including ones for
the reduction of criminal costs and the
readjustment of taxation more equita-
bly,, were submitted to the people.
These and many other good laws must
be set down to the credit OF the For
tieth General Assembly.
The evil that assemblies do in the
way OF squabbling and bitterness often
dies with them. The good lives on
the laws of the statute books.-Stdte

They Killed and Burned to a Finish.

The following letter was written by
A. A. Barns, Battery G, Third United
States Artillery:
1.-The town of Titatia was surren-
dered to US few days ago and two
companies occupy the same. Last night
one of our boys was found shot and his
stomach cut open. Immediately or
ders were received from general
Wheaton to burn the town and kill
every native in sight, which was done
to finish. About one thousand men.
women and children were reported
killed. l am probably growing hard
hearted. for ann in my glory when /
can sight my gun on some dark skin
and pull the trigger"
This letter was published in the
Standard of Greenburg, Ind. The case
would be paralleled were foreign
army to occupy Potosi and one of the
soldiers should be found assassinated
either by one OF his own comrades or
by some other unknown irresponsible
party and the commanding general
should have every man, woman and
child slaughtered in this town, from
the newborn babe to the grey-haired
grandmother. Yet General Wheaton
is an officer in the army of a Christian
nation. He is upholding Christian
civilization, nation some OF whose
citizens cannot sleep of nights because
God is not in the constitution. In an.
other instance, all the natives for q
distance of twelve miles were ordered
to be killed or driven into the lake.
The depopulation of the Philippines
will go on-men, women and children
in those islands will continue to be
destroyed, SO long as the American
Sugar Trust owDs this government.
The Trust magnates can be depended
upon to secure the lands OF the MUIR
dered people to their own use and
benefit. .-Potosi Independent.

The Editors in Council.

The Southeast Missouri Press Asso-
citation held its semi-annual convention
in Bonne Terre last Friday and Satur-
day. This is an association that has
had feeble existence for several
years, and we are glad to be able to
record that it is now showing more
life and energy, and promises to &C
complish some good. This was prob
ably the best meeting the association
has had. Nineteen members were
present, and. with but one exception,
all who were on the promgram were
present and performed the duties as
signed them.
The following proceedings are re-
ported by the secretary:
The meeting was called to order at
P. NJ. on the 26th at the lyceum, in
that city, by j. F. Mitchim, vice-pres-
ident, Jos. Flynn, president, having
not yet arrived. Rev. Boehm of the
Centenary M. E. Church, South, in
voked the divine blessing, after which
the minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
New members were received-Theo.
Fisher of Pennington, III. B. Irwin of
De Soto, James A. Cox of st. Louis
and 6. T. Lee of Piedmont.
The association then took a recess
and visited the public schools in a
body, and after making thorough ex-
animation of the building and the
work being done by the excellent
corps of teachers, repaired to room u
and held the remainder of the evening
session.
Theo. Fisher of Farmington deliver
ed an address on "Drawing the Line
Between Free and Paid Advertising, :"
which was discussed by members of
the association.
c. W. Crutsinger of St. Louis gave a
valuable talk on printers Rollers, !"
showing the necessity of having good
rollers and explaining the methods of
manufacturing the rollers and giving
ideas as how to best keep them in
working condition. The association
then adjourned till 9. A. NJ, May 27.
The meeting opened with a rotfsing
address of welcome by Prof. Gray of
the Bonne Terre public schools, which
was responded to by H. B. Irwin of
De Soto.
President Flynn having arrived de-
livered his annual address.
r. w. McMullin of Hillsboro deliv-
cred an address on 'Pioneer Journal
ism of Southeast Missouri" in which
he suggested that the president ap-
point a committee of one newspaper
man from each county to compile his
tory of pioneer journalism of Southeast
Missouri and present same at the next
meeting of the association. The sug-
gestion was well taken. and on motion
of E. 2. Caruthers of Kennett the fol-
lowing committee was appointed: JEFF

OPENING THE PHILIPPINES.

Another step in the process OF redeemlnS anu
clvilizing the Philippines IS marked IN the
Presidents order to General Otis for the open
ing of ports to commerce. We may not call 1t
a new departure for 1t is merely the con-
tinuance and development of the policy adopted
at the beginning 1t is step forward IN the
right direction and one that promises much
good both to the islands and TO this country
The opinion has hitherto frequently been eX-
pressed that the best way TO occupy those ISL
ands Is to occupy them. That is TO say, not
merely to overrun them with troops, however
necessary that may be for the suppression of
Iawlessness, but to let the civil administrator
follow closely in the wake of the military
victor. and to establish government and in
dustry and commerce wherever our troops nave
passed and our flag has been planted.
That 1t may we'll be believed, is the surest
way of restoring and maintaining peace. The
parable of the unclean spirit returning Win
seven other and worse ones to the place whence
he had been cast out is most apt TO the case.
There is no use ia simply driving out the
rebels and bandits and passing on and leaving
the place empty. Be sure the bandits will
return. and the last state of the place will be
worse than the first. No; but when lawless-
ness is expelled law is to be established.
When the punderers and destroyers are driven
away honest industry and commerce are to be
begun. In that way all that is gained will be
held fast, and will aid in the gaining of more

In this way. too the United States Will be

ands 1t did not take possession of them
merely as a hunting ground for its troops, but
as a vantage ground of peaceful. expanding and

tentialties are intellectually great. and 1t is now
time they began to he realized. There is, no
doubt, still some active field work for our troops
to do. The last remains of AguinaldO's

imperative order of the day. But sufficient

made to permit the earnest taking up Of the
next great duty, and the doing Of that is what
the Presidents order means.

the Republican platform OF 1898. Tho world has set
