Means War to the Bitter End.

IT is reported from Washington that the Phil
ippine peace commission has been ordered 10
return to the United States, leaving General
Otis committee of one to deal with the lhSul'
gents. President Schurman, of the conmis-
sion. believes the insurgents should be grah'eo
autonomy by the president, with the assurance
that coayres: would ratify the agreement MI.
Schurman finds the Filipinos more intelligent
and more capable of selt-government than they
were supposed to be, and in this lie is seconded
by his colleagues who were appointed from
civil life. He believes they are entitled to
home rule, and should have it as their just
right; hut the military party and the ultra an
nexionists are opposed to anything short OF
permanent military government, with the ma
tives having 10 political rights whatever. The
president, being under the influence OF the
army ring and the syndicates that have been
organized to "invest" in the archipelago, the
failure of the commission does not come as
surprise.
The conclusion is, therefore, that the war
against the Filipinos is to be pushed with as
much vigor as possible until they yield uncon'
dtionally; but how many months or how many
years they will be able to hold out there is no
way of determining with any degree OF cer'
tainty Since early in March, the army has
been engaged nearly every day, and although
it has won every victory, no material advan'
tage has been gained. The insurgents will not
risk general engagement, and our generals
cannot force them to. Such war could be
kept up for years without seriously impairing
the strength of the rebel forces. In fact, it
would resolve itself into question of supplies,
and it is very clear that, SO far, they have had
no difficulty in procuring army ammunition and
food No doubt the president has considered
these things, and has decided that he will push
the war until the sovereignty of the United
States is recognized and the natives accept such

The last Republican platform expressed cor
dial endorsement of the,work of the civil ser
vice commission. Mckinley in his inaugural
address fully endorsed the civil service regua-
tions and promised to extend their scope; but
as to take thousands of offices out of the juris
dlction of the commission. Platforms are made
to get in on; but after getting in it was ex-
pected that on the few matters the president
dared to express an opinion he would not over
rule himself and discredit his pretended policy.

Mark Hanna posing as an enemy of trusts is
one of the most imposing expmples Of sublime
effrontery the American people have been invit-
ed in recent years to gaze upon. Hanna is one
of the chief organizers and abettors of trusts.
1t is by monopoly and fictitious capital that he
has made his millions. He heads shipping
trusts he organized one of the principal iron
trusts, he has finger in the copper trust, he is
one of the principal directors of big coal trust
and has hand in several railway combina-
tions. He belonged to the original combina
tion of four wealthy men who bought up Major
William McKnleys debts and got their money
back by making him president 1t takes gall
for man like Hanna to stand up and proclaim
his opposition to trusts. 1t is the sort of gall
which has been defined by some newspaper man
as "sublimated audacity, transcendent impu-
dence, immaculate nerve, triple-plated cheek,
brass in solid slugs. Star and Kansan.

The story is told of Parsons man who was
so unfortunate as to have one leg which was
shorter than the other as the result of white
swelling in his youth. He applied to Chris
tian Science healer and was told to 60 about his
business and the short leg would grow. He
did so. Sure enough the short leg began to
grow and kept right along until at this time it
is some twelve or thirteen inches longer than
the other. He has lost the postofice address of
the healer and as he doesn't know the combina-
tion himself, he is afraid he never will get the
blamed thing stopped.-Ft. Scott Lantern

dispatch in the capitalistic press informs
the country that the Sugar Planters Associa-
ton of Hiwaii has contracted with the Italian
government to furnish 10000 Italian peasants
for labor in Hiwaiian cane fields. The further
information is given that the "Itaian govern
ment is entirely satisfied with the contract sys-
tenn, treatment of laborers, etc." Considering
the awful condition of the Italian workers at
home, and tho brutal treatment they get at the
hands of the Italian government, it certain the
latter would be satisfied with almost any kind
of contract that could be made, the main pur-
pose being to get rid of surplus laborers. The
poor peasants will have but little option in the
matter, and in all lands the larger share OF
Italian laborers practically the slaves of the
viest sort of exploiters of their own race.
When it is remembered that Hiwaii is part of
the United States, and that we have law for
bidding the importation of contract laborers, it
would seem as if somebody somewhere should
call halt But there'll be no halt called.

Webster City, Oct. 19.-The stucco
retarder factory. which was burned to
the ground week ago, is being rebuilt,
the foundation having already been put
in shape and the frame work started.
The stockholders have struck an obsta-
Gle which seems to be greatly against
them. For long time prior to the
burning of the factofy residents in that
vicinity had been complaining of an Of
fensive odor, which they claimed arose
from the plant and these residents have
prevailed upon the members of the
Lawn Hill Lot Company to begin pro-
ceedings against the managers of the
factory and they have notified the
stockholders that they can no longer
manufacture the retarder there, and
they have taken the necessary legal
steps to enjoin them from resuming OPP
erations. But the stockholders will
push the building to an early compile
ton and declare they will fight 1t
through.
