AGrINALDO'S MANIFESTOES.

The chief of the Taga bandits is verbose. He
mas the itch of writing and of speaking. Within
two months ne has put forth at least four
formal and extended manifestoes. Three or
these were addressed to the whole world, IN
the name of Cod and were characterized by
ran arrogance. conceit and mendacity that would
be more amusing If they were less malicious
The fourth. which we published yesterday. was
INTENDED for private circulation only and was
marked with n treachery and savagery that
nut its author outside the pale of humanity
and within that of the head-hunters and Thugs.
We attribute this last-named manifesto 10
I Aguinaldo. partly because il emanated directly
from his government" at Malolos and partly
because il harmonlzes IN tone and purport with
his other utterances
The first Of these manifestoes was put forth
by Aguinaldo on January D. 1t contained
about six hundred and fifty words. of which
thirty were various forms Of the first personal
pronoun singular: II say IL protest, my

"visibly confided TO Me the achievement Of our

eorlcally. that General Merritt had definitely
confirmed the fLlplnO ASPIRATION 10 luuepeh-
dence and that the Army and Navy of the
United States had recognized the Filipinos as
hellicerents On the same day AgunaldO
issued n second manifesto, similar in tone to
the first and similarly peppered with "I' and
"me" and my" In this he declared that his
people" had driven out the Spaniards and had
established his government over 1.-The whole
.of Luzon. the Visaya Islands and a part Of
Mindanao": that Consul-General Pratt, ut
Singapore, had promised the Filpinos indie
pendence: that Admiral Dewey had acted 'in
an lnsOlent manner; and that the American
commanders had accepted my (Aguinaldos)
concessions in favor Of peace and friendship
"as indications OF weakness" He added that
the procedures Of the United States were "for-
"eign 10 the dictates OF culture and the usages
observed by civilized nations" and that his
government was disposed TO open hostilities II

same Aguinaldo. or one or his accomphces' vi
dered n secret rising for the massacre anu
murder of all foreigners in the Islands, men'
women and children; n procedure, we suppose
not foreign to 1.-THE dictates OF culture ana the
usares observed by civilized nations.
The latest manifesto is just what might nave
been expected after the foregoing Aguinaiuo
rails against our unexpected provocauohs'
'insults." and "prepOsterous pretenSiohS
speaks OF the "humiliating concessions he Has
made to u.s. in the interest of peace; alleges
that the people of the islands are unanimous Ill
their support Of him: and finally declares th"'
SPANISH dominion would be pre1erapie 7"
American. He negects TO add, in respect 10
the lastnamed point. that the spanish au-
thortIes paid him n lot Of money TO peuray HIS
dunes. while the Americans show no ihciina-
ton 10 do So That Is, doubtless. conclusive
reason for his bias in favor Of Spanish rather
than American rule.
Now these Nominations OF the Tagal chlel
have had some effect. In our delay IN ra'1!-
ing the Peace Treaty and in establishing a nrin
aid definite policy in the Philippines the proc
lamations OF January put the people INTO
ferment and caused many TO hesitate between
Tagal anarchy and American sovereignty. but
even then the educated and industrious natives
Of Iuzon itself held aloof from him and his
Malolos government" while the masses or the
people showed themselves 10 he Indifferent
toward him and heartily sick of war Since
the ratification of the treaty, the occupation OF
Iloilo and the assertion of American authority
by deeds as we'll as words, the situation mas
greatly improved as the news from Negroes ana
Cebu shows. American sovereignty Is pelhG
accepted and Welcomed and will he welcomed
more and more as its purport becomes Det'er
known to the people. The Fllipinos are con-
cerned with words more than with things

until they are taught the difference. lnde-
pendence' is 10 them as blessed word rs
"Mesopotamia." and they fondly dream that
with the coming of the name the thing ltsen
would be assured to them. perfect and IN
violable SO these gong beatngs Of Aguinaldos
have sounded to many Of them like the oracles
Of god They are now learning better. They
are coming to realize the difference between
words and things. and that. under whatever
name the thing the United States Is Offering
them is exactly the thing they themselves
want When that realization becomes general
the philippine problem" will he solved.

CONSIDERATIONS BY THE Kindred.

In these days everybody is talking IN superla-
tlves. If a man brings together dozen steel
making concerns OF moderate consequence he
IS said to have established the biggest and most
powerful concern on earth. If he goes to Cuba
to buy plant and n factory 1t is said that he
will Mt once control all the tobacco produced
and manufactured in that island These In
fated accounts seem to be requisite in order to
command all the cash involved In the purchase
of many concerns or in the leasing OF others.
1t is undeniable that the public Is slngulary in
the humor to pour out its money welnigh with
out limit and entirely without ordinary bust
ness caution In these industrial consultations
and trusts. But the care taken TO advertise
