criticized by prominent republicans as
well as by every body else. If the ex-
pondent It would have been right
enough to say that it might have been
inspired 10y personal prejudice, but it
was signed by every prominent CORES
pondent in Manila, including those of
the Associated Press, whith furnishes
papers of all shades of politics, and
moreover it merely confirmed what
was known to many for months past.
If the administration enjoys its
present position, its opponents ought to
raise no objection, as it is making
anti Mckinley votes by thousands.
Secretary Alger has told Mr.. Nc
Kinley what he had previously told
everybody else that his resignation,
which accompanied the information,
might take effect at his pleasure.
That was no nows to Mr. Mckinley
and has not relieved his embarrassment
Bit Members of the Cabinet are
not in the habit of refusing to resign
when asked by the President to do so.
The only man who ever did SO was
Bellnap, who had to be kicked out of
Grants cabinet.
While tits not known positively
what concessions were granted by this
government in the four treaties nego-
tiated with England, under the Ding
ley law, respectively for trade recipro-
city with the English colonies of Bar
BADGES, Bermuda, British Guina and
Jamaica, it is said that they are
equivalent to a horizontal reduction
of II per cent in the duties levied by
the Dingley tariff on the products of
those colonies. All Of these treaties
will have to be approved by the House
as we'll as the Senate before they go
into effect. The time limit was
reached this week. and no more
treaties can be negotiated under the
Dingley law.
Events this week have made it GER
tain that there is movement on foot
in administration circles to throw
Hobart overheard and to make Gov.
Roosevelt Mr.. McKinley's runnin g
mate in next years campaign, the
idea being that Roosevelt's war record
will neutralize any defections caused
by Algerism and administration war
blunders and mismana cement. Roose-
velt't consent has not yet been OBJ
tanned, and that is why the idea is
being publicly pushed The mana
gers of the scheme think that if the
Mckinley and Roosevelt ticket is ud-
vocated by large number of repu-
blican papers it will tickle the vanity
of Gov. "Teddy" to such an extent
that he will consent to being shelly ed
10y becoming candidate for Vice
President.
s'The trust most 60" is the keystone
of an organization which though com
paratively new, already claims mem
bers ILL every state and territory. 1t
is known as the A merican Antitrust
League. The executive committee Of
the league held a meeting in Wash
ington this week. The league, which
has full set of national officers, thus
sets forth its object: "The purpose OF
the American Trust League is te
arose the only power on earth that
is stronger than the power of money
in public life. That power is the
patriotic impulses of the people. The
little finger of that power, when awak
ened, is stronger ten thousand times
than the influence of all the billions OF
all the trusts and combines of the land
The memories of the many sacrifices
of the fathers call us to action. Ii
these trust combinations are allowed
to 90 on they can plumber each us in

the fear of hunger for Lis wife and
family will make him a coward. 1t
behooves us to strike while the fire of
liberty yet burns. The American
Antitrust League is non partisan. We
call all American freemen to council.

republican public man has shown him
