THE st. Louis Republican, in q
scathing article on "Weylerism in
Washington" says: It is known
that a severe military censorship
Of press dispatches already exists
in the Philippines. This censor
ship is described by correspon-
dent at the front as being more
rigid than that maintained by
Weyler in Cuba. If, in addi-
ton, censorship is also to be
established in Washington, result
ing in the suppression Of official
reports, there is good cause for
popular protest. The people Of
the United States are not yet ready
for militarism OF this high handed
character. They have q right to
know the truth of how things are
going on in the Philippines. The
administration is taking desperate
chances in resorting to these
tactics.

"CRLyMLN.AL .AGGRES8IOyv."

Our campaign in the Philip
pines has been brought to a close
for the present by the return of
the rainy season in those islands.
We have killed many Filipinos,
and destroyed much property but
at an enormous expense of life and
treasure to ourselves. We have
practically ruined the health of
the survivors of more than twenty
thousand of the flower of the
young manhood of our nation, yet
nobody has yet told us what we are
fighting for? The president of the
United States has chosen to ignore
congress and assume rsspon-
sibility for policy of conquest
which in his own language is
criminal aggression" How does
he know that congress will take
the same view of the case that he
is taking. What assurance has he
that the people of the United
States are in favor of subjugating
the Filipinos and bringing them
under the sovereignty of the Unit
ed States by force?
One thing he ought to know,
and that is that the whole proceed
ing is in violation of all the cher
ished ideals of the American nation
and repugnant to the spirit of our
institutions. Yet without consult
ing the people or their representa-
tives he is carrying on a war of
subjugation which has ever been
the prelude to the establishment of
slavery. He has adopted the worst
as we'll as the most violent and OK
pensive policy and refuses to tell
the American people what his ul-
innate purpose is, or to discharge
his duty by calling congress to deal
with so serious and momentous a
question. What are we fighting
for anyhow?

The time is not far distant when
the big bulky threshing engine
will be a thing Of the past and in
their place we will see the lit
tie gasoline engine being pulled
from house to house. There are
several of these machines in this
state at the present time, and they
are already gaining great prestige
with the farmers Of influence and
those who are far sighted enough
to see that they are an Innovation in
the threshing business. They are
small, from ten to twelve horse
power, mounted on four wheels,
and are pulled from place to place
as easily as any farm wagon. The
separator which goes with these
engines are not SO large as those
used for steam power, but the
work is equally satisfactory.
The plan being put into practice
by number of farmers is for half
a dozen of them to purchase an
outfit between them for their per-
sona} threshing only. Tbey re-
quire less men and while they are
waiting for the steam thresher
they will have their job completed.
They are not very expensive, re-
quire no licensed engineer, and
are devoid of danger in every way.
We predict that before many
years there will be dozens of them
in general use ell over this great
wheat belt. The Farmers must
first learn of the benefits to he de-
rived from their use.-Grand

ISSUES MADE By FACTS.

That the democratic party
should be preparing for a
thoroughly organized and clearly
defined attack upon tho trust evil a
course in which it will be upheld
by the people, is due solely to the
logic of circumstances.
Within the past year the growth
Of the trusts has been unparalleled
in extent and all-embracing in the
variety of commercial and indust-
rial fields monopolized. The re-
cords of the state New Jersey are
filled, page by page, with the list
ing of trusts brought into being
by the accommodating laws of that
commonwealth. The combination
of capital thus effected reaches an
aggregate of billions Of dollars.
While this tremendous growth
of the trusts has been under way
the effect of the trust code of
morals upon American trade and
American character has been
brought into dazzling relief in the
course of certain struggles against
the trust evil IS bearing upon
individuals.
Before the Industrial Com
mission in Washington it has been
shown how the Standard Oil
Company uses spies and traitors
to secure information as to the
business of it's competitors, and
how it then proceeds to crush
those competitors by use of the
power arising from its special
privileges. The consumer and the
laborer suffer alike from the mo-
nopoly Of markets by the trusts.
The attempt to bride Attorney
General Monet, of Ohio, with an
offer of 100000 to discontinue
legal proceedings against the
Standard Oil Company shows that
the judiciary and the officers of
the law are not safe from the de-
moralizing influence Of the trusts.
The mark of the trust wherever
found is that Of corruption and
trade oppression.
This malignant evil will depend
upon the repub lican party for the
maintenance of its paralyzing grip
upon the commerce and industry
of this country. It will supply
with lavish hands-generous in
proportion to its fright at pos.
sibility Of defeat-the funds neces.
sary to the republican campaign
of 1900. Through it's able instru.
ment, Mark Hanna, the power OF
the administration will be exerted
in its behalf. The democratic
party and the people will be op.
posed to this sinister combination
The fight will be bitter, but dem.
ocracy and the people must win il
American institutions are to pre-.
vail in fact as we'll as in name.

Il F.dRMERS EXCURSION.

WHEN President Hill of the
Great Northern was in Fargo last
spring at the grain growers con-
vention, he made proposition to
the farmers of the state that free
excursion would be run over his
lines to Fargo if fifty bona6de far
mers Of each county would go to
that city and inspect the practical
work at the agricultural college
and experimental station. Presi-
don't Worst Of the college stated at
the time that about the latter part
of June would be best for the
excursion, as the crops and expert
ments at the farm would be at
greater advantage then than any
other time. There has been much
interest conferred on this matter by
the leading farmers of many
counties in the north and western
part of the state and the following
letter from the Office of President
Hill, of the Ct. Northern, will give
an idea of what is necessary on
the part Of the farmers, that they
may enjoy the generous offer
made:

June IS, 1899 Dear Sir: The letter of
June LIST to the General Passenger Age at
has been referred to me. In answer to
same, beg to say that / will be very
glad to take up with the President the
matter of free transportation for farmers
from your county in order that they may
visit the State Experimental Farm, if
you will be kind enough to send me list
of the farmers desiring to make this trip.
l think it is the desire of the President TO
accommodate all bonafde farmers who wish
to make the trip, but we do not care
to make it an excursion party, and in
sending in your list, 1t will be necessary
to use little discretion and see that the
men named in your list are farmers
Yours truly, Louis W. Hill,
Assistant to President.
From the above it is seen that to
take advantage Of this offer there
is but little time to complete ar
rangements. The outing is one
that our farmers generally could
enjoy with profit to themselves
and spend day most pleasantly
there without CENTS expense, if
they wished, as lunch would be
served at the college groun1s free.
President Hill will be there to
make an address if the farmers de-
eide to go.

LOTS OF BAPTISTS.
annual Meeting of the Baptist association
Held In Langdon Last Week.

annual Meeting of the Baptist association
Held in Langdon Last Week.
Last week from Wednesday to Friday
upwards a hundred delegates to the
fifteenth annual meetiog of the Red
River Valley Baptist Association helped
to swell the throng of visitors that gave
our city such a gala appearance all of
the week. Each otthe fifteen churches in
the district sent full representation and
the sessions held throughout were sue
cess, both as regards attendance and
the enthusiasm shown in the work. The
association covers the northern half of
the state, reaching south as far as Hills
boro and has as it's officers for the ensu-
ing year Rev. Newcomb, of Grafton,
moderator; Rev. E. p. johnson, of Wang,
CLERK; and F. G. Zuelsdorf, of Mimic,
treasurer. Among the prominent out
siders attending and who did much to
add to the success of the gathering were
Sunday School Missionary F. Hall and
Revs. J. B. Sundt and w, L. Van Horn.
Miss E. A. Frye, the state evangelist was
also present and placed in charge of the
question box. On Wednesday evening
the Baptists opened their church to the
public and large audience was there
to hear an address by Rev. Van Horn on
distinctive Principles of Baptists."
There was another open session to the
public Thursday evening when Sidney
Clarke of Grand Forks, took up the
topic of "Our New Responsibility, Grow
ing Out of Our New Possessions" and
handled the question in an able manner
without drawing political matters into
his address. Among the facts brought
out from the various reports presented
to the association it might be noted that
new churches have been established at
Park River, Glaston, Prattford, Walhalla
and Daniels, in this county; also that a
church at Rolla which had been tempo
rarily closed is again open for worshlp;
three new pastors have been placed in
the field and the rite of baptism by i'm.
mersion administered to one hundred
members. The association sends Rev.
Newcomb to the Baptist state conven-
ton at Grand Forks in July, as their
delegate, when he will have very
interesting report to present of the years
work. Before adjourning Friday fore
noon the association passed number of
resolutions. among the rest one that
showed how heartily they appreciated
the kind manner in which the people of
Langdon generally extended their hos
pitality on the occasion of their visit
here. The association also dwelt at
length in high terms on the work de-
cempllshed here the paet two years by
the local pastor, Rev. Robertson. In
that time church and parsonage have
been built. the membership almost
doubled and very promising outlook
given to field that couple of years ago
had scarcely been opened up. The at
tending delegates all expressed them.
selves as being much pleased with their
visit and considered this meeting OF the
association one of the most successful in
it's history.
