Advanced Stand on Trusts.

Des Moines, Ia, June 21.-At
the first annual meeting of the
county attorneys of Iowa to-day.
Attorney-G General Remley made an
address that attracted much atten-
tion from his taking an advance
stand On trusts. He said:
Socialism follows in the wake OF
the trusts. The French Revolution
was a logical sequence of concentra-
tion into the hands of the church
and the mobiles of greater part of
the lands and the wealth of France.
| don't say that such a condition
is near at hand in our country, but l
firmly believe that the pendulum is
swinging in that direction
In conclusion, he said:
"You can do your State no better
service than by either demonstrat-
ing the non-existence of unlawful
pools and trusts in the State or
bringing the guilty parties to JUS
tice. For your own sake, for the
sake of the people who have trusted
and honored you, you cannot shirk
the responsibility if you wish to.
You should and you will, to the
best of Of your ability, faithfully
and patriotically 60 after all the
trusts and combinations organized
against the laws of the State and
country"

An effort will be made in the next
Congress to have the people of the
United States pay a certain number
of private citizens to 60 into the
shipping business. The Republican
convention in Ohio and Iowa both
have indorsed the idea, and what is
is known as the Hanna Payne sub
dy bill will no doubt be pushed
through unless there are some Re-
publican Congressman with hon
esty enough left in them to op-
pose it. The time has come when
this measure should be character
lied as it deserves to be. lis moth

The larceny in protective tariff IS

The Philippines Not Wanted.

A significant incident took place
at the Orpheum on the night of the
reception given to the Oregon vol
unteers. The programme of the en-,
tertainment included an evening at
the theater, and 400 of the volun-
teers were provided with seats at
the Orpheum. The number, it will
be seen, was sufficiently large to
thoroughly represent the sentiment
of the regiment That is the fact
which gives significance to what
occurred.
During the evening one of the
performers, George West, came
upon the stage to deliver speech
upon topics of the day. He began
by asking: "Do we want the Philip
pines?' Instantly from the vol
unteers the response went back:
"No." If there were any affirm
ative voices they were so few they
were lost in the volume of sound
of that emphatic negative-a neg
ative made doubly impressive by
the fact that the volunteers rose to
their feet to give it force.
"Do we want the Philippinesf"
That is the question which persons
who have not had time or oppor-
tunity to study the issue fully are
asking all over the United States.
"No." That is the answer which
the volunteers, who have had ex-
perience in the islands, give in re-
sponse to the question.
The Oregon volunteers are rep
resentatives Of the truest American
manhood. They are not among
those who give their country lip
service only. When the war with
Spain broke out they offered to the
republic their strength, their valor
and their lives. They left their
homes to go wherever the service
Of the nation needed them. They
we're sent to the Philippines, and
here they proved themselves faith
sul to every duty and loyal to every
rust. No one dare accuse them Of
being weaklings or false to the true
grandeur of the republic. They
;peak with the authority of men
Who have attested their patriotism
~ the arduous proofs Of service at
he front, and the voice of their
'atriotism declares "we do not want
he Philippines. ."-Editorial from

The Beginning of a National Express

1t Is promised that within sixty
days from now we actually shall
have Il Government express. on n
small scale, at least. By that time
New Workers will be able to regis
ter valuable packages at their homes
and have them forwarded by the
National Government to any city
and town within the limits of the
Union that possesses Il system of
carriers.
| We ought, indeed, at once to
have the whole express business of
the country run by the National
Government; that is, our Post OF
flee Department should be SO OK
tended as to carry parcels of every
kind to every part of the Uuion.
And If the party in power will not
do this, let the Democratic party at
its next convention demand it in
words that cannot be misunder-
stood.
Great Britain has preceded us
and become a pattern to us in this,
as in some other matters, by her
parcel post act of 1888, which has
proven just as successful as her pos
tai telegraph.
Mr.. Wanamaker, as Postmaster
General, in his report of 1891 stong-
ly recommended such national OK
press, arguing that the national
post goes to thousands Of localities
where no private express company
consents to 60.
The principal advantage of such an
extension of the Governments ac-
tivity would be by no means the
saving in money. A far greater
benefit would be the fact that, like
a national telegraph, such a nation
al express system would tend to
unity our people, would bind them
together.
And what is the obstacleg There
is only one, but very great one,
also stated by Wanamaker. Itcon-
sists of our four private express
companies.
Think of where we should be
our national post Office. 1t
would cost New Workers. SO cents,
perhaps, to send letter to Califor-
lia.
The Government express promis-
ID US is an example of most bene-
icent expapsion-an expansion of
lsefulness on the part Of the SER
'ant Of the people.-N. Y. Journal.
