The Hon. GEORGE SEwALL BOUTWELL, Of
Groton, Mass, and OF the Anti-Imperialist
League, looks darkly at tho Philippines and
AYERS that 1.-THE Nation is passing through
q crisis, or rather 1t Is in crisis. which
portends all OF evil to the laboring popula-
ton that can ever come to them their
downfall from condition Of independence,
OF power in the affairs OF q country, to a
state OF servility through competition with
the millions Of the Oriental world"
II this were 80. 1t were grievous fault,
and Mr.. BOUTWELL, would be justified in
calling upon "the laboring population Of
the country" to oppose the reelection Of
Mr. MCKINLEY.
But Just how does the annexation of tho
Philippines expose American laborers to
competition with the laborers Of the Oriental
world? Does Mr.. BOUTWELL, believe that
the various races Of the Philippines are
going to rush to the United States, or that
they are going to work 30 desperately and
skilfully in their own country as to drive
the American workman out OF his homo
markets2
The fact Ia that expansion is an abso-
Lutte Industrial necessity for the United
States. Manufactures have been developed
to point where the surplus, and vast Sur
plus, must be disposed Of In foreign mar
kets Otherwise there would be an enor-
nous shrinkage in product and an
enormous amount OF labor would be out
OF a Job. In getting hold Of great
commercial distributing point, an approach
to China and it's vast markets and n
means Of safeguarding American interests
there, the Administration has done last
ing service to American industrial labor.
Ships to carry our manufactures will have
to be built, are now building; and hum
dred American industries will be helped in
consequence.
Expansion means moro work to do; and
In increasing tho Eastern demand for
American goods, it means better pay.

The Mysterious River OF South America

Another explorer and his party have been
massacred by Indians on tho Pilcomayo,
ono OF the longest OF the second class
streams of South America. The victims
are Senior ENRIQUE IBARRETA and his men,
who were sent out last year, to make an
other attempt to survey this famous river.
After tho expedition reached the Gran
Chaco, or great plain Of Northern Argen-
tina, nothing could be learned OF
Its fortunes, and there was reason
to fear II had met tho fate OF many
predecessors. A relief party, sent up tho
river, has returned with news confirming
the worst forebodings. IBARRETA and his
party We're murdered by Indians OF the
Gran Chaco, and the bare announcement Of
their fate ia all that has yet been cabled
Explorers have been trying for over ono
hundred and seventy years thoroughly to
explore this stream and none has succeeded
Probably no other river has so completely
baffled pioneer enterprise or been the scene
of so many tragedies.
The Plcomayois thelargest western trb-
utary Of the Paraguay River. Bolivia and
Argentina have long desired to turn it to
commercial account Ifnavigable, its great
Importance would be that it would give
Bolivia water outlet to the sea- That
country could thus ship its products to tho
Atlantic and establish easy communica-
tions with all the Atlantic coasts OF the
Americas and Europe. The Argentine Gov
ernment has assisted in the explorations,
and the aim OF every effort for twenty years
past has been to rescue Bolivia, il possible,
from her isolation.
The fact Is we'll established now that the
Pllcomayo Is available for steamers for
only small part OF its course This con-
clusion was reached through the efforts OF
number OF explorers, for no one man has
ever seen the whole river. Nobody sup,
posed that the explorers of the past twenty.
five years would be as completely badled in
the attempt rs were their predecessors OF
the eighteenth century.
When tho Jesuit PATINo, with seventy
priests and n large escort OF Spanish
soldiers, first pushed up the river in 1921
t. combine conquest and missionary enter
prise he was stopped by the Toba nation Of
the Gran Chaco. The TOBIAS chased him
down stream. Twenty years elapsed before
the SpOniards had any inclination to renew
research on the Pilcomayo. Then another
missionary expedition led by CAsTAsARE:
assembled the river for nearly thre,
months without reaching Bolivia; upon
second attempt that party was murdered
to man. After long interval BOLIVAR
started a military expedition down tn,
river and it made the discovery that tn,
Pilcomayo grew shallower instead O
deeper and the Indians became flercer

ward. The Bolivar Government sent GU
another. only to meet with similarly dis
astrous experience. Pilcomayo explora
ton was then abandoned by everybody 70
two generations.
The untimely death Of few explorers ha
been more deeply lamented than that of tn
brilliant CREvAUI, who had won the bright
est laurels by his discoveries In Guiana anC
on the upper Amazon tributaries. H

nothing to lose. The Papacy cannot be
worse of than 1t is now. He does not pre-
tend that the City OF Rome would ever be
handed back to ecclesIasticsi authority. but
It is conceivable, although he does not say
30, that the so-called Leonine City, with
strip OF land bordering the Tiber as far as
the seaooast, might be conceded In full
autonomy to tho Papacy by Federal
republic, whereas no such concession Is
likely ever to be made by centralized
monarchy.
1t Is also suggested that the tenant OF the
Vatican could not fail to profit by the
removal from Rome Of the overshadowing
dignity OF rival sovereign and the substi-
tuition OF tho relatively modest attributes
OF the President OF Federal Republic. He
would profit also by the release OF his par
tizans from a position In which they are
debarred from their natural share in public
life. Moreover. a Federal Constitution,
which could only be amended with great
difficulty, would afford better guarantees
OF independence to the Papacy than does q
mere statute passed under tho present
monarchy, subject, as It is, to the caprlces
OF Parliamentary majorities.
1t is not alleged by General GARIBALDI
that the coalition, which he advocates. be-
tween Republicans and Catholics would give
the latter all that they desire. Neither does
he fail to recognize that it would meet with
opposition In the ranks OF the Democratic
party, dominated as this Is by Anti-Clerical
proclivities. On the whole, however, he Is
confident that the alliance will be concluded.

GRAFTON that there were moro business failures

Convention OF Nebraska. at Omaha. on Aug. %,
that the proper way OF limiting trusts" would
be to prohibit any corporation from doing
business outside OF tho State In which 1t was
organized, save under license from the Fed
eral Goverpment.
We have been unable to find a verbatim ac-
count OF Mr.. BRTAN's speech. but tho Erenino
Bee OF Omaha puts what he said In this way:
Mr. BRYAN then paid his respects to the trusts
and declared tina. when a law Is passed. that will
prevent . corporation from doing business outside
the State in which IL Ia organized without license
from the Federal Governments. the trusts can be

The speaker declared that the trusts could be
destroyed when the Federal Congress would decree
that no corporation should do business outside the
State whore It organized. except by securing the
license OF the Federal Government"
