THE WHITE MANS BURDEN OF
SLAUGHTER.

The Columbia State does well, i'll illus
tratins the horror of the war in the
Philippines, to join together the Asso-
ciated Press telegram with poem
copied from the Springfield Republican,
The press account said:
1.-The country between Marilao ana
Manila presents picture of desoatioA.
Smoke is curling from hundreds of ash
heaps and the remains of trees ana
fences torn by shrapnel are to be seen
everywhere. The general appearance
of the country is as If 1t had been
swept by a, cyclone. The roads are
strewn with furniture and clothing
dropped in flight by the Filipinos.
The only persons remaining Dehmd
are a few aged persons too indrm to
escape. They camp beside the r1lns
OF their former homes and beg passers-
by for any kind of assistance. The
majority of them are living on the gen
crosby of our soldiers, who give them
portions of their rations.
Bodies of dead Filipinos are stranded
in the shadows of the river or are resting
in the jungle where they crawled TO
die or were left in the wake of the
hurriedly retreating army. There is
no time at present to bury them"
The poem is a fitting following of
that horrid story and piteous scene:
With face upturned to Luzon's sky, with
back TO Luzons sod,
The body lay; the indignant soul
knocked at the gates of God.
And his prayer the Angel of Wrath up
bare in haste to the throne Of God.
Justice, Do justice white man God!
They Stay us in thy name
Thy love, their cannons roar; thytruth
they speak with tongues of flame,
And for light to read Cnrist's words
Alright, our pagan rooftrees flame.
'.rhey came as friends from the great
White Chief and his people oversee.
Spain fights for land and gold, they
said, we fight to make men free:
And our deed is born of a nations
creed that God wills all men free
And we clasped our hands with a
traitors hand we had faith in a
liars faith;
They have kept their word as. white
men do-they have made us free of
death;
And their deed is born of a nation 5
greed and its pact with Hell! and
Death

their defence Ohios Attorney General shows that even
without drastic antitrust laws the States proceed against
the trusts He says:
Nearly every corporation receives its charter primarily
from the State and exercises such State purely at the will
of the State courts That is if any offend against the public
pocv of the statutes of the State that created them the old
writ of the crown which preserved in each State consu
tonhe writ of quo warrantocan be obtained through the
attorney general of each of the orour States and every
uch corporaon can be brought into the respecv
cors Of the State and their charters taken from them and
their propertes placed in the hands of trustees"
The dav is near hand when Attorney General or Soic
for can be nominated and elected who fails to all diligence
to secure the suppression of the trusts.

THREE DAYS OF GRACE"
A banker writes: You stated III
vour columns that three days OF grace
were not abolished by the recent law.
But section So of the law says: Every
negotiable instrument is payable at the
time fixed therein without grace. How
do YOU reconcile this with your posi-
tion?"
Our correspondent is right as to section
81. but he will find that section l9i OF
the law, the last clause, reads:
1.-The law now in force iii this State
with regard to days of grace shall re-
main in force and shall not be construed
TO be repealed by this Act"
This, of course, being Il subsequent sec
ton retains the days of grace"
TAX ON FRATERNAL ORDERS.
A correspondent writes: 'The Legis-
lature passed an act taxing the Widows
and Orphans Benefit Associations
in the State, such as the
ROYAL Arcanum, knights of Hon
or and others. Would You mind
publishing the particulars of the law,
that the public may know about what
the tax will be, on those Orders, and
who is to pay it, whether the local
Lodges, Grand Lodge or the Supreme
Lodge"
The only tax on fraternal orders is:
For filing charter preliminary to adj
mission, $500.
For filing and auditing annual state
mant. $1,000.
Under the new insurance law the
Royal Arcanum and all fraternal orders
are required to enter the State to do
business and be licensed by the insur-
ance commissioners, the tax therefor
which goes into the State treasury is
$1,000. In order to DO this they mast

viously noted in the wool market have
been well sustained during the week utN
der review and in some respects the
movement partakes2 of the characters
tics Of q Veritahle boom. 1t is not as
yet, however, manufacturers market
although consumers have been little
more in evidence than previously. The
greater portion of the business done con-
sists of purchases by dealers Themselves
although, as a-srule, where manufacturers
have bought they have been obliged to
pay higher prices, or they have not sue
ceeded in getting the wool. A number
OF dealers are not offering their wool
and are practically out of the market
The advance in the price Of territory wool
in this market has resulted in a large
export movement and the few remaining
by dealers are held at higher prices than
buyers will pay. The sales Of the week
at Boston amount to 6031, 900 lbs domes-
tic and S57. GOO lbs foreign, making a to-

CHICAGO, May 4-Wheat closed
strong and 1c higher today after an early
decline of sc. Corn closed 1c higher and
oats a shade lower. Pork lost 212Q5c;
lard 5G7lsc and ribs PIC.
Wheat news was bullish from the
start, but the bears made a concerted eff
fort to dislodge~ holdings, and the nc adj
vance scored at the opening was turned
into &c decline during the first two
hours trading. The crop news became
so bad, however, that the bears hesitated,
an then the bulls took an inning. Buying
orders came from every direction and the
shorts in their scramble to cover had
the market up rapidly. Reports of dam
age by rust in Hungary added to the adj
vance during the last hour, and the mar
ket closed within a fraction of the top.
July opened &c higher at 74Ss@15c, adj
vanced to 7412@+sc, declined to 73a4c ad-
vanced to 751s@12c, and closed at 751sc.
Chicago received 81 cars, none of which
graded contract Minneapolis and Du-
luth got 4l4, compared with 1923 for the
same day a year ago. Atlantic port
clearances of wheat and flour were only
5000 Cash demand same.
Corn weakened early on country selling
and favorable weather, but turned strong
near the close In sympathy with the ad-
vance in wheat. Receipts, 1872 cars. July
opened unchanged at 3S1k@ssc, declined to
SS1sc ana advanced 10 S59sQ12c at the
close.
Heavy receipts and a poor cash de-
mand were against oats. Receipts, 2S3
cars. July started a shade lower at
2311c, advanced to 2315@5sc, declined to
2SAc, and closed at 23hc.
Selling by packers owing to the large
receipts of hogs weakened provisions.
July pork opened 6Q714c lower at $500
declined to $S.I712 and closed at $S2213
July lard declined to S5.071h at the close.
Ribs ruled dull within narrow limits
Estimated receipts for Thursday:
Wheat, 81; corn, 1879; oats, 290; hogs,
$4,000.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
