Cl,eaper Steel.

The work OF lowering the unreason-
able prices demanded for steel and
iron products was begun by the Amer
lean Steel and Wire company. The ex-
ample proved contagious, and little by
little other companies initiated 1t. FL
nally the big eastern manufacturers
OF structural steel have followed suit.
They waited until last week, because
they were in pool and thought them
selves free from the danger OF COM
petition. So long as they had the
field to themselves they were resolved
to Aeep prices up to the highest notch.

Gymnastic Union, an organiza-
ton of German-Americans, of
which the Turner's Bund" is a
feature, was recently held in Phil
adelphia. A vigorous resolu-
ton, asserting the right of self
defense and denouncing territor-
ial expansion by war, was passed
almost unanimously. 1t reads
as follows:
"In order to perpetuate their
liberty and to protect themsel-
YES from aggression, we believe
that every people has the un-
questionable right to employ
fire and sword. We regard all
war waged for the acquisition of
territory as the exercise of a
dangerous and brutal power.
We condemn as hypocritical all
efforts to extend civilization to
foreign and barbarous countries
which involve the use Of the
sword. Therefore, we protest
against the war the United
States is waging in the Phillip
ines" ***

Benevolent Assimilation.

H. B. O., of Troop L, 18th U.
s. cavalry, writes a letter pub
lished in the Tribune of this city
in which he says, among other
things:
81 have been in several small
fights. This town has been at
tackled twice. The first we lost
no men and we killed 81 men,
women and children, and the
next time 25 men, women and
children. Day before yesterday
our troop went out scouting and
we slipped up on a big house
where the insurrectOs we're hav-
ing a good time. When in about
80 yards the one on guard at
the front door fired on us and
ran inside. We fired 3 volleys
through the house not knowing
who was inside. We killed 2
men and 1 women, wounded 3
women, one child and captured z
men,.
And 1.-The war is over" But
McKinley's policy of benevolent
assimilation" is compelling the
boys who volunteered to help
lick Spain, to kill women and
children instead. Reader, are
such records as these things we
shall be proud of in future years?
Will we rejoice to relate to our
children and our children's child
rem, how, in the year Of nineteen
hundred and Bill Mckinley, the
brave American boys secuted
out into the country Of the
ignorant and half savage Phil
lipinos, surprised them while they
were Having good time" and
'skilled two men and one woman,
and wounded three women and
one child, and captured seven
men, under the president e
orders to "benevolently assimi
late" the people who asked only
that they be given self-govern
ment.
To YOU feel proud of these acts.
Will YOU endorse by your vote
in November the mercinary pol
icy which makes such aconditiO1 a

The 10000 lepers in the Phil
