It seems, however, that it was
brought about by events our govern
ment could not control The obi
cations that were assumed rendered
1t necessary that stable govern
ment be established and the bitter
resistance OF Aguinaldo was not
expected. Our Government could
not honorably retire from the Islands
and hence the war. We shall know in
short time what will be the result.
In the meantime every one should
endeavor to sustain the Government
until an honorable peace shall be
proclaimed. The Every Evening,
however, is doing its best to dis
credit the Government. 1t is more
interested in making political CAPT
tai for its party. than in promoting
an honorable settlement. 1t is not
in regard to the Philippine Islands
alone the Every Evening is like
man having eyes and sees not, but
also in it's treatment of the present
tariff. 1t is opposed to the policy
that gives employment toour people.
Notwithstanding its representation
of the Dingley bill, the revenues
are steadily increasing and the
business of the country becoming
more prosperous. Employment is
becoming more plentiful and wages
of workmen are being greatly in
creased. Every man can see this.
and Notwithstanding the represent
tation OF the enemies of the present
administration, its policy will be
sustained. The only wonder is
that the citizens bear patiently the
attacks made by parlisans on the
President and his policy.

why the testimony OF the ''conyiclcd
thief, if sustained by documentary
evidence of an indisputlh'e char
acter. is not Just as reliable a. that
given by the most honest man in the
land! The records of the Bank
and the checks regularly signed.
cannot be ignored, and only prciu-
diced persons will attempt 10 lessen
their Importance. The trouble is
that Boggs prove, his testimony as
he goes along. aud il the evidence
is properly weighed by intelligent
men there will be no danger ot 4
miscarriage Of Justice.
FROM all account, the iron IN
dustry all over the country was
never better than at the present
time. Such boom in iron ha, not
been seen since the good hines ten
years ago, The mills all over the
country have granted their employ
es an advance from ~ to l;;pcr cent
owing to the advanced prices thu
mills are receiving for thcIrproduct.
Even the cotton mills in Mas>achu-
