1T is being demonstrated very con-
clnsipely in Texas that trusts are not
above the ruling power of the popular
will. A few days ago came the deci-
sion of the supreme court of the
United States On the antitrust law of
this state confirming to the states
the right to enact such laws as they
see fit for the regulation of corpora
lions. Ga Monday at San Antonio the
court of appeals of the fourth district
upheld the Texas antitrust law in an
action against an ice company. The
ice company had entered into a COM
binstion with other ice companies to
stifle com petition and TO fix the price
at which ice should be sold. The dis
trict attorney at San Antonio moved
against the offender in an application
for a receiver and to forfeit its char
ter for violation of the state Law. The
district court sustained his contention,
aud ordered receiver for the defend

THE VANISHING RED MEN

The annual reports of Indian agents

dian affairs place the entire Indian
population at 297 .9O5. During the year
there were 5.253 deaths, bu. only
4, 237 births, SO that assuming the same
ratio to be steadily maintained, the
race decreases by about 1000 each
year. In times of epidemic, such as
have occurred at different periods, the
progress toward extinction may be
more rapid.
Civilization is apparently doing lit
tie to arrest the retrograde movement,
although the statistics available throw
no light on this point. dealing Onl y
with totals and attempting no classif-
cation. To considerable extent the
aborigines have adopted the ways of
the palefaces. AS many as 95, 679 dress

in such homogeneous com binations as
horse blankets and plug hats, moe
casins and paper collars. Not less
than AZ, 567 can read and SO, 314 are able
to carry on an ordinary conversation in

Life in tepees is largely fiction to
be found only in Fenimore Cooper
novels. Within the past year 1,l53
houses have been built for the comfort
of the nations wards, and the total of
such habitations at present Is % ,236.

plains were strewn with the bleaching

slain by Indians. In other words, the
total of homicides with aborie ines as
victims or slayers was not greatly, if at
all, in excess of the fatal ARRAYS among
the same mum Der of whites living amid

The above figures are highly signi6-

is dying out and that he gives compare

THE PHILIPPINE STATUS.

Bishop Potter, of New York, has
recently returned from trip to the
Philippines. His visitation was made
at the instance of the general conven-
ton of the Protestant Episo opal
church for the purpose of examinin g
into the opportunities for the extension
OF the work of that church into the
new possessions of the United States.
Before leaving this country on his
mission the distinguished churchman
was outspeken in expressing his OPP
position ito any policy looking to the
establishment Of q government for
the F'ilipinos. Since his return. to the
confusion of those who beforetime
quoted him as one whose words had
weight and Importance, he has just as
frankly and as clearly announced a
change in his convictions. The bis
hop expresses in one brief sentence
q truth which the American people are
beginning fully to comprehensive
time will settle all the problems whic b
confront US in those islands. and that
We have all the gifts TO meet the diff
fculties and responsibilities that may
be in store.
When General Wheeler was inter-
viewed by HERALD reporter while
he tarried few hours in Ell Psso, he
set the keynote TO- series OF talks on
the status of the Philippine question.
The general cannot be regarded as a
favorite of the administration. He be-
longs to the opposition party in po-
litics, and, if the reports circulated
from time to time may be relied upon,
he has no reason to praiss the war de-
partment, or any one in position TO
influence it's action. 1t has been al
legged that he was treated with scans
courtesy in the Santiago compaign,
aud his stay in the Phi ippines is said
to have been rendered unpleasant by
unworthy jealousies. He has been
represented as chadng un Ter enforced
inactivity, and as being held in the
background so that others might have
honors and preferment which he hop
ed to win.
General Wheeler ought, therefore,
to be regarded as q critic who is above
partisan considerations, and against
whom the charge of prejudice will not
lie. Consequently, what he says about
the Philippines and concerning the
status of the war there possesses spe-
cial Significance. Among other things, |
he told Adjutant-Genersl Cor bin, dur
ing an audience at Washington last |
week, that the war In the archipelago |
was over and that nothing more was to
be done except to run down few guer-
rillas and irregulars; that there was
difficulty in this work and danger, too,
but that It's prosecution was not war"
