This city is blessed by "A legion Of
good men and women. and of good
organizations. doing commendabIe
humane, charity and other Christian
work. They are all worthy OF the
splendid efforts and sacrifices being
made.
That these good people md the
News may better understand each
other we wish to say n few words.
We will do all we can to aid in such
work. But advertising space is
our means of making II living and the
living of all who work for us aud who
must he paid regularly. Our adver
ing rates OF so much II line for read
ing notices and 81 much for display
are living rates. You do not see the
newspaper mel getting rich very fast
Mt their REGULAR rates do You?
Therefore. good mcn and women.
when you plan your fairs, your ba-
zaars, Your oyster suppcrs. your pay
socials, etc, by what reasoning do
you plan that Il newspaper should
give reduced rates or free notices.
when the grocer, the ice man. the
oyster man, the dry goods man all
others are paid the full amount?
Why should the newspaper nan be
expected To give to every church, "
cry order. every society and every
cause when every other business man
has the unqucstioned right and priv.
lege OF donating only to those TO
which hc belongs or toward which he
is inclined? Tho richest people in
town are hot expected to donate but
to Il small portion of the good, worthy
and needy causes that come up. Why
should the ovcrworkcd and poorer
newspaper nan he expected to do
nate SD freely OF that advertising
space which is his bare living?
Ladies and gentlemen, when you
are planning your charity work it
seems tn Us that you should plan to
pay your advertising bills III full, ex-
actly a s you plan to pay your other
bills. Don't send one Of your number
TO the business office with Il special
poverty plea that brings tears to both
sides OF the counter. Contract for
mud pay your advertising bill on bus
incss basis. Then give the newspaper
man the same privilege, u%nqucstioned
OF determining to whom and in what
way they can do their shar" Of the
charity work. You need not DO
afraid but that they will do it, either.
II is no more the newspaper mans
duty to give free notices to every
thing that comes along thmn it il

CHEAPSEss OF MONEY.

a Republican exchange, in dealing
with future events. says that it Is in
cumbent on gold Democrats to vote
the Republican ticket, so as to make
more crushing the defeat OF the cheap
money forces"
Tho cheap money forces! Really.
these Republican editors seem to be
blind to the conditions all around
them. They close their eyes to all the
information contained in their daily
market reports. They put their fling
| ons in their ears and refuse to listen
10 facts. Compared with the most
important ot the worlds commodities
money WAS never cheaper IN this
country than it is today. The depre-
! ciated greenback dollars would buy
in 1870 more iron than the gold dollar
commands today. Thus, us compared
with 1894, we have IL 50-cent dollar
with respect To cotton aud with re-
spect to cotton products, and Il b.
ceut dollar with respect tn iron.
In the face Of conditions plain to
all, the Republican editors go on de-
nouncing cheap money" in one

among the common people, but when
the spectators, the gamblers and the

BARKER ACCEPTS.
Agrees TO He the Candidate OF the
Peoples Party for the Ma
tiOnal Presidency.

Philadelphia, June 2. - Wharton
Barker, who was nominated for Pres
ident of the United States by the con-
servative wing of the peoples party
at Cincinnati, o., May 10, has sent his
letter of acceptance to the committee
of notification. Mr.. Barker declares,
first of all, for direct legislation or for
the initiative and referendum. He OPP
poses the concentration of wealth,
which, he says, divides the people into
a 'house of have and a house of
want" The money question and the
railroad question, he says, are the two
great questions to be settled, and the
former is to be settled by system of
paper money issued directly to the
people. The latter question can be
solved by the governments taking
possession of the railways and end
ing freight discriminatioAs. ITO talk
of licensing trusts" Mr.. Barker says,
"is to trifie with evil" He opposes the
"usurpations of the courts favors
election of senators and president by
direct vote, and compulsory arbitra-
ton of labor disputes, and opposes the
policy followed in the Philippines.

LAND IN MANILA.


Manila, June 4.-The United States
transport Hancock, from San Francis
co April u, arrived here Sunday morn
ing with the members of the Philip
pine commission. The members of
Gen. MacArthur's staff welcomed the
commissioners on board the Hancock.
Judge Taft, speaking regarding the
powers and future work of the commits
sion, said:
"Wehav full instructions and extensive
powers. The latter we shall not exercise
until we have had ample time to acquire
sufficient knowledge of the situation TO en-
able US to proceed 10 enact legislative
changes and reforms, preliminary to the es-
tablishment of stable civil government.
Until we assume authority Gen. Macarthur
will continue to perform the duties and ex-
ercise the powers formerly performed and
exercised by Gen. Otis; and, even after we
take active and full part in the government,
Gen. Macarthur will continue as the exec
utive head until, on our recommendation
to President Mckinley, IL shall seem to the
president that the time has arrived for the
appointment OF civil executive and for
making the military forces merely auxil-
iary in carrying on the civil government,
to be available only I'm cases of emergency
for the suppression Of iawless violence too
formidable to be overcome by the regular
ly organized police.
1--WE are aware that there are several is-
sues of deep interest to the Filipinos, upon
which II is our duty to take action. Some
of these involve judicial investigation and
decisions upon legal rights Others call
for the careful exercise of political power
In order to secure equitable adjustments.
Upon the latter class of issues we cannot
now speak.
Representing the sovereignty of the
United States in the Philippines, which IL
is the purpose of our government 10 main
tain, we are here to do justice to the Fill
pinos and to secure for them the best gov
ernment in our power and such a measure
of popular control as is consistent with the
stability and security of law, order and
property. We are civil officers, men OF
peace. The field of our work is necessarily
confined to regions where the armed enemy
has ceased his operations. We cannot deal
with armed men. Gen. Macarthur and the
army will do that.
when those now in arms shall have
laid them down, relying they certainly
can, upon the justice, generosity and Glenn
ency of the United States, we shall give
them all a full hearing upon the policy &c
be pursued and the reforms to be initiated.
We purpose to inaugurate comprehen-
sive a school system throughout the
islands as circumstances will allow. / am
surprised that Manila has not received
news regarding the Spooner bill, a measure
calculated to help US greatly in our work
here"
1t should be understood that the fore
going declaration of Judge Taft is in
no sense intended as proclamation.
