A suRE-ENouQH WAR.

Our people are beginning to realize that they have war on their hands in the Philippines. Wc can amuse ourselves at the running qualities of the Filipino as much as we may, but we will not be apt to lose sight of the fact that it will require thousands of American lives and millions of American treasure to suppress the insurrection that is now in progress there against American authority. Tcxarkana Courier.
 It appears that the Filipinos have learned that ''he who fights and runs away will live to fight another day" and they are doing this with great regularity and precision. Nearly every province captured from the wiley Filipino in due time has to be e-capturcd.

 The sentiment voiced by Gov. Rogers is heard with increasing frequency. If the trust promoters and organizers will be honest and forsake the way of the bandit they may hope to divert the public mind from q purpose which is slowly but surely ripening under the heat of wrong.

A LARGER ARnY.

Late dispatches from Washing ton indicate that at least ten new regiments will be called for by the president to carry on the war in the Philippines, and possibly the full limit allowed by law, of B, 900, will be called. It is also reported that Gen. Otis has cabled President Mckinley to the effect that he cannot conquer the in- surgents with his present force, and may have to abandon the ground already taken unless re. Inducements were sent soon.
 1t begins to look as though we had made q bad bargain in buying the Philippine Islands, and had placed ourselves in much the same position Spain was in when she sold them to us, but we are in better shape to win than Spain was.

X ministorial fnrmnIa fnr tho

A ministerial formula for the correction of trusts is furnished by the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott of New York, who finds a solution of the problem in better understand ing of the centripetal and centri- fugal forces of society. This plain and lucid proposition completely pulverizes the fallacy that clergy men have no aptitude for dealing with practical questions. Kansas City Star.

NO COLONIES WANTED.

The Kansas City Star is quite right and voices the sentiment of all true Americans in the follow ing:
 "A Department of Colonial Affairs is said to be confidently spoken of at Washington as necessary and proper addition to the Cabinet. While the time may come when such q depart meut may be required, as the Depart ment of the Interior became needed convenience with the increase of our public lands business, it may be said that at present the mass of Americans do not take kindly to the words colony or colonial. The people of the United States are accustomed to government by states and territories. They know nothing of government by colonies. All that is historically known about that sort of rule is that certain colonies, thirteen in number, threw off that title and relation and became the independent United States of America.
 There may be change Tn public sentiment, but at present it is to the effect that ali people who came to live under the flag of the United States are from that time Americans, entitled to the protection of American law and institutions, first, it may be, as citizens of American territories, and later and finally of American states. The colony has no place in the scheme. If it comes in it will be an innovation. The pur- pose of the United States is to secure to all people within it's jurisdiction and acknowledging its sovereignty, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness For over hundred years this aim has been achieved through very simple agencies and by a uniform course of procedure Various areas have been bought into the American Union; Spanish provinces. French provinces, Mexican states, Indian hunting grounds and reservations, utter wildernesses scarcely claimed by any power, and all have come in by nearly the same road = a military rule, usually brief; terri toral rule by the Federal Government, and then the rule of the state, exer- cised by the people of the state
 It is believed that the people of the United States would prefer to speak of tue territories of Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippine territory and so on, rather than of colonies bearing those names

pINdREE FAvoRs ALdER.

No one questions the integrity of Gov. Plngrce, of Michigan, re- garding reform measures. He is now reported as being in favor of Gen. Alger for the U. s. Senate from that state, very largely be- cause Alger is opposed to trusts and in favor of the election of U. 5. senators by a direct vote of the people. Mir. Pingree is reported as saying:
 ''Alger is on the right side of the two greatest questions of the day. said to him that could not personally support man who would not declare himself on the right side of these two questions. The two questions on which I wanted to know his position are those of trusts and election of senators by direct vote of the people.
 Il wish to say that the general is absolutely sound on both these questions Gen Alger believes firmly that United States senators ahould be elected by direct vote of the people. :"
 Gen. Alger being interviewed on these questions is reported as sayings
 Il do not believe in the concentration of wealth, Monopoly forces the middle men out of commercial existence and the result is disastrous to the masses
 
 of the people. Gov Pingree stated my position correctly when he said that I am also opposed 10 the selection of United States senators by legislative vote Their election by direct vote will do away with much political intriguing and is bound to come. although it may take years to accomplish it."

Kansas City, Mo, June 27-Judge Philips, ill decision in the case of Rosa E. Jarman against the Knights Tenn plars and Masons' Life Indemnity com papy this morning, held, first. that un- der the statute governing assessment insurance companies it was no defense against the payment of the policy that the insured committed suicide, un- less it was shown that he contem- plated suicide at the time he was insured; and, second. that changes in the -ules of the company made after the policy was taken out would not affect the payment of the policy. This decision is of great importance to in- suranee men. Lawyers have estimated that this ruling will cost assessment companies at once about $500, 00O
