Otis says the war in the Philip
pines is over. Taft says he needs
more soldiers to put down the
rebels" Now both of them know
the situation. Consequently some
one Of them is simply lying In
this case both are lying. The truth
is Mckinley has made up his mind
again since he told Otis to say the
war was oyer. Troops are wanted
for China, and Taft is now ordered
to say that he needs more soldiers
to put down the war in the Philip
pines. A nice mess the Pecksnif-
fan politician in the White House
has got us into. Had he followed
the advice Of the immortal Wash
ington, the latchets Of whose shoes
he is unworthy to tie, we would
be looking on calmly and pro6ting

Of spending life and treasure in this

"FIag'' Day.

Times have come to poor pass
when it is necessary to have
special day set apart for honoring
the flag Of the United States. II
it had not been dishonored by
Hanna, Mckinley & Co., there
would never have been any need
to call attention to the fact OF its
existence. That act OF itself is
confession that respect for the flag
is lessening. And the fact that
respect is lessening IS proof that
the principles which the flag was
intended to represent are being
violated. Under Grant or Garfield
or Harrison it was never necessary
to work up a special boom to
honor the Flag" nor will it be
under William J. Bryan and his
long line OF Democratic success
sors. They will respect American
principles, and the flag will be re-
spected at home and abroad vol

as DYING in prison at Manila.
What an outrage on liberty, and
on the fair name OF America. But
the spirit Of the man is indomita-
BILE. When OTIS offered to release
him on condition that he would not
incite further trouble, he answered,
II have not changed my convic-

carriage for daily drive. Mabini
refused, saying, II cannot accept
favors from the Americans" There
are no nobler answers in all his
tory, And this is the class of man
to whom Roosevelt and other rem
egade Americans apply the word
Savage" Even savage may be
a patriot, but Mabini is besides a
high minded gentleman. And un-
less the American people reverse
the actions OF the politician in the
Presidential chair, they will go
down to history guilty Of the great

No American imperialism n China

No american Imperialism in China
Our commercial interests in
China are not sufficient to warrant
the risk Of a rupture with friendly
European powers. and beyond the
protection of American citizens
and American missionaries our
position should be that Of an inn
passive and impartial spectator.
1t is doubtful, however, if this
peaceful role will suit the imperial
notions Of Secretary HaY. Eng
lands chestnuts in the Chinese fire
are many and varied, and more
than one English statesman Of note
seems to regard US as the most
available cat to rake them out.
It seems evident that the Chin
ese Empress, in league with the
Boxers in the effort to drive out
all foreigners from the land, relies
upon Russia to back her up. Our
missionaries are there bV the per-
mission OF the Chinese Govern
ment, and that Government alone
is responsible for their safety. Our
plain dut" goes no further than
their possession.
We are on friendly terms with
England. Our friendship for Rus
sia is traditional. We have secured
the "open door" for the commerce
OF this cou airy in China, no matter
what power or combination OF
powers take charge oil that country
or how It's partItioned We should
20 slow, therefore, in rushing in
where we have no business.
We already have sufficient to at
tend to in our imperial war in the
Philippines.
1t is to be hoped that with the
arrival of the troops Of the foreirn
powers at Pekin there will be no
occasion Tor a display OF further
force by the United States in
China.

he F,iend OF Labor.

ne Ftlenu OF Labor.
The Republican party, says the
Wilmington Democrat in comment
ing on an address delivered in that
city last week by Congressman
Lentz. has always proiessed to
stand for the interests OF American
lab orers. They will have hard
work, It continues, during the
coming campaign to make the
workingmen believe these hypo-
critical pretensions. The investi-
cations Of the Idaho bull pen
showed how President Mckinley
regarded the union workingmen.
The President obeyed the behests
Of the rich men and sent negro
troops to drive white men into bull
pens. The union workingmen
could not even get a hearing oi
their side cf the case.
A committee OF the Congress
just closed made a thorough and
exhaustive investigation OF the
Mckinley horror in Idaho. The
Republican members Of course
justified the conduct oil the brutal
Merriam backed by his negro SOL
dier thugs. The Democratic min
oritY members Of the committee
made an opposite report.
The Republicans have utterly
refused to allow the testimony
presented at the investigation to
go before the people. So tar as
they are able, the Republicans will
suppress all discussion Of it. Re-
markable. isn't it, that the party
OF Hanna, the great patron Of
workingmen, should object to hav-
ing the statements upon which the
Merriam vindication order was
made, go before the people. But
suppression is one OF the FIRST acts
OF Imperialism and the Republi-
cans are going to administer il in
vigorous doses.
In the same address Mr.. Lentz
said many truths which might be
taken as texts for more extended
remarks. There was one state
ment, however, that was more inn
portant than appeared at first sight.
The speaker said that public mat
ters now are discussed in an en-
tirely different way from what they
were not so many years ago. The
Congressman urged that the dis
cussions OF Webster, Calhoun, Clay
and Sumner were gone, and in the
place every question is weighed IN
the scales OF "what is there in il for
US" II the United States is asked
to express sympathy for the Beers,
for instance, many Immediately
ask, "what is there in 1t for US"
And so it goes. Even Secretary
Gage, infected with the same spirit
of commercialism, rebuked the
preachers and philauthropists who
proIessed to believe hat Provi
dence had called Mr.. Mckinley TO
assimilate the Philippines. The
Secretary OF the Treasury told
these good people that per cent
would 60 along with the phllan-

HOW IT ALL HAPPENED.
Perry Heath Tells How He Was
COaXed Out of the
Postal Service.

Cleveland, O., July BIN an inter-
view this afternoon First Assistant
Postmaster General Heath said to the
Associated Press correspondent:
THE subject which eliminated today
in my selection as secretary of the Re-
publican national committee was first
preached to me by Chairman Hanna
and members of the committee some
weeks ago, and was renewed with much
earnestness and insistency at Philadel-
phia.
lat first I was much averse to TAX
ing up this work, knowing what it
meant in volume and character. Presl-
dent Mckinley did not wish me to quit
my position in the poStoffice depart
ment.
Il was summoned from Maine on Sat
urday last to go to Cleveland by Chair
man Hanna and requested to attend a
meeting of the executive committee here
today.
Here the subject was renewed by all
the members of the executive committee
in such a personal and earnest manner
that / consented to undertake the
work.
When asked as to his intentions re-
specting his resignation as first assist
ant postmaster general, Mr.. Heath said;
'At Canton yesterday talked with the
president and Postmaster General Smith,
master general on Monday My services
with the committee will, I presume. be
needed as soon as the Chicago headquart-
ers are. opened, the latter part of this

Concerning Mr. Heath's resignation as
first assistant postmaster general, Senator
Hanna said this afternoon that in his con-
versation with the president yesterday at
Canton the latter expressed deep regret
that the committee deemed it necessary
for Mr.: Heath to leave his position in the
postoffice department where he had
rendered such satisfactory service and ex-
pressed the greatest confidence in and
and personally. He also stated that the
most cordial expressions in the same di-
rection were made by Postmaster General
Smith and that Mr.. Heath did not con-

A TRUST AND ITS PRICES.

From the Philadelphia Record
The price of granulated refined sug
ar has been advanced by the Sugar
Trust to six cents per pound, or $40
cents net. The plain people who buy
and use this sugar-practica1ly every
man, woman and child in the United
States-are now receiving an object les
son in the heneficent Influence of con-
oscillation and monopoly in reducing
prices to consumers. OF all the AFRO
giant cant that has been canted in be-
half of syndicate control of industrial
production. the cant of cheapness to
the consumer is perhaps the most au-
dacious and offensive. No intelligent
citizen needs to be told that monopoly
keeps prices up. He sees the fact dem
onstrated at every turn All of the
factors which naturally tend to lessen
cost of production and make living
cheaper are diverted by powerful COM
bined interests to the service of sordid
greed The benefits which should ac-
crue to the masses of the people from
new inventions, Increased consump-
ton, enlargement of the sources of raw
material and enhanced technical skill
in production are absorbed by selfish
combinations in the shape Of excessive
profits. to cover which from public
view is now the chief concern of the
Trust managers who have practically
vanquished and destroyed competition.
Centrifugal raw sugar, 96 degrees test,
is quoted at AIS cents per pound. The
Trust TINS has a margin of 104 cents
between the cost of its raw material
and the price of the refined product.
In the elaborate testimony given before
a congressional committee of inquiry
a few years ago the cost of refining
was stated at about three-eighths of a
cent per pound. Say it is ten per cent
more than this estimate by experts; the
Sugar trust would then receive a net
profit of 62.5 cents per 100 pounds
Twenty years ago. before the establish
lnent of the sugar monopoly, refiners
were generally satisfied with a profit of
twenty-five cents per 100 pounds and
today, with the vast increase in con-
sumption, the lowering of transporta-
ton charges and the skillful employ
rnent on a large scale of labor saving
devices, one-eighth of a cent per pound
should afford ample margin between
the cost of raw sugar and the net price

takes as much more, in pursuing its
