The Filipino agent IN the United
States asserts that a plan has been for.
mulated by Aguinaldo and the Filipino
leaders to divert to other nations by
every expedient in their power the
trade which the United States expected
to have with the islands. He estim ates
it at many million dollars a year. Gu
riously enough, these Filipinos, who
the administration at Washington
told us are SO ignorant that they are
unfit for self-government or anything
except to be shot like dogs, have
adopted this plan from the Virginia
non-intercourse resolutions" which
were signed by George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and
other eminent Americans. This fol-

KENNAUGH.


We are glad to see that there are
signs of n revolt among the house re-
publicans against the leadership of
Mark Hanna. 1t is known that the
Ohio senator is very anxious to secure
the passage of the ship subsidy bill
and it is probable that the bill will
be pressed to a vote in the senate.
though the assent of a majority of the
senate republicans has been given
with reluctance. But in the house the
spirit is much less tame. In that
body it is felt that the senate is too
much disposed to control legislation
and that the influence of Hanna is too
strong. Moreover, the representatives
from the western and middle states
know hat the bill is unpopular with
their constituents. We are told that
at least so republican members are
pledged against a consideration of the
bill in the house. This is, indeed, good
news. 1t is time the republican party
were beginning to realize that the
people are very much in earnest in
their opposition to this bill. They
know that it is o in their interest,
but that it is being backed by railroad
and Standard Oil magnates, because
they would make money out of it at
the expense of the people. Nor can
they be made to believe that Mark
Hanna's advocacy of the bill is entire

OF TRUSTS.
A Striking Instance of the Arrog ance
of the Growing Monoi>O-
list.

A day or two ago the American Steel
& Wire company, a trust which has
made its exactions felt most cruelty
by farmers who have to make much
use of it's product for fencing, issued
a p%eremptory order closing down IL
of its mills situated in Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. At the head
quarters of the amalgamated associa
tion of iron, steel and tin workers in
Pittsburgh it was estimated that the
loss to work. gmen would aggregate
about $4,000 a week. The Chicago
Times-Herald, a stancb republican
newspaper, gathered reports from the
mill towns themselves, which indicate
that about $3.50 men were thrown out
of employment and a los of about
$SS,000 in wages each week is incurred.
Col. John w. Lambert, one of the di-
recting officials of the trust, explained
the shutdown with the characteristic
insolence and brutality of the typical
trust magnate thus: "Our company
Is running it's business without any
need of explaining. We shut down and
| open our mills when we see fit"
No well regulated mind nor any con-
science not completely ossiied by the
persistent pursuit of money making to
the exclusion of all other ideals will
for a moment accept the theory that
a business which employs nearly 1000
men, a business upon the continuance
of which the livelihood of probably
$4,000 people is Immediately depend
ent, is the sole concern of a few in
dividuals who, by methods familiar tc
corporation managers, have seized upor

As to Expansion.

The territorial growth of the
United States heretofore has been SIM
ply an acquisition of contiguous terri
tory to provide homes for ~ WI
people, and where states were to be
erected which were in time to become
a part of the American union on
terms of absolute equality with all
other states. No thought has ever en-
tered the mind of any man in the ac-
QUESTION of Louisiana, or the terri
tory we acquired from Mexico, that an
alien people were to be held in a con-
dition of vassalage perpetually and
controlled by the arbitrary will of
the American congress as Great Brit
ain governs her colonies. This sort
of growth or territorial expansion
was strictly in accord with every prin-
ciple of government for which we con-
tend now. This Porto Rican policy,
however. is an absolute departure, and
totally different in all respects from
anything that has been done hereto
fore.-Senator James X. Jones, in Ma
tional Waterman.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1900-05-12
These are only a few items on the

These are only a few itepas on the
list of expenditures proposed by TINS
republican congress. The total Will
be SO s%tupendous hat the mind simply
cannot grasp it with any degree OF Den
n~iteness. 1t will be a record OF millions
spent in every direction where there
was a trust influence to be served ana
subsidies outright to those who would
not be satisfied with ordinary legisla-
tive appropriations.
This policy will enable Mark Hanna
to assess the trusts for the big cam
paign fund which he considers neces-
sary and the voters will have the mel
ancholy satisfaction of rejecting that
in the final analysis they, and not the
trusts, foot the bills.
The Philippine Situation.
The news from che Philippines indi-
Gates that the new commission Will be
wise in staying in Manila for awhile
after its arrival. The Filipinos are ris-
ing in every province in Luzon. Not 20
miles from Manila they are tearing up
railroads and ambushing American
troops. q
The wal department reports indicate
unusually heavy losses among the Fill
pinos and it is a significant fact that
our soldiers never take any Filipino
prisoners nor are there any Filipino
wounded in our hospitals. What be"
comes of them? Surely, the occasional
reports of shooting down Filipino pris-
opers does not mean that the admins
tration has applied the policy of ex-
termination in imitation of British
methods of dealing with natives in At
RIGA.
1t is going to be very difficult from
cow on TO get any real news of what's
going on in the Philippines. The war
department will censor the facts with
great care and every precaution will be
taken to give the people as little infor-
nation as possible during the presiden-
tial campaign.

it's control. The people as a whole have
some rights in these premises. The
ration cannot honestly remain silent
and supine while the domination of a
corporation over the lives and happi-
ness of a great body of industrious
men and their dependents is thus var
tonly and brutally abused. In this
specific case different explanations are
given for the shutdown. 1t is said that
it was caused by overproduction, but
that is a lie, for all through the west
farmers and mechanics have been
stopped from satisfying their wants
for the products of this monopoly be-
cause its managers have repeatedly
increased prices until they have
reached almost the ~prohibitory point.
If there is any over-supply of its prod
uct in the market, it is because the
prices put upon it are such that the
ordinary consumer is driven to all
| sorts of expedients to avoid purchasing.
1t is said by others that the true rea-
| son for the shutdown was that the
ruling spirits in the trust, n of
whom, by the way, John W. Gates, is
a republican aspirant for a United
States s%enatorship, have certain plans
for manipulating the stock market.
which the shutdown will further. This
is possibly true, but it only lays en-
phasis upon the folly and the Grim
inality of permitting the control of a
great and necessary industry in the
United States to pass into the hands
of a small body of men, men who would
not have gained control of it if they
had not possessed the instinct of gam
blers and who naturally utilize their
control to further their gambling
transactions.
We have said that a business of this
sort is not private business, and tina;
no individual can rightfully make such
a statement as Col. Lambert is quoted
as having made, and that the people
as q whole must not sit quietly by and
allow his position to be maintained
without protest. But in saying this il
is not necessary to go to the Other
extreme and hold that because thu
business has attained such qualities o.
monopoly it should be conducted b,
the government accor ling to the so
cialistic idea. The reason the TOO
employees of the American Steel e. Wir'
company are suddenly and a%rbitraril.
thrown out of work is because on
single governing board controls tn
employment of all of them and con
trolls the industry in which all are en-
gagged. If the 12 mills involved wer
operating as corporations should OF
crate, independently, one or two nigh
shut down, but the others would con
tinue. Indeed, it is most unlikely tina
any would shut down, because tn
mill so doing would be in danger O
losing its trade to those which re
manned in continuous operation. L
therefore. the existing antitrust lay
had been enforced against this monoI
ehstis corporation, not only would tn

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
NOTES OF PAST AND CURRENT EVENTS.
By J. L. POWER.
John r. Dinsmore,
By J. L. POWER.

This eminent citizen of Mississippi
died at his home in Macon on Friday
afternoon, April 81. He was in the
prime of life, and until recently the
picture Of health. Toward the close of
the recent session Of the legislature he
contracted a very sever cold. He died
of apoplexy. Mr. Dinsmore was born
near Macon, in 1855. He served with
conspicuous ability and fidelity in the
legislature several sessions, and at the
last session was chosen president pro
tenn. of the senate. He was a wise,
conservative, industrious legislator.
His bill for the removal Of the peniten-
tiary from jackson, and the three bills
for the suppression of the blind tigers,
and other good measures, were of his
framing. He had just fully entered
upon a bright political career, and, had
he been spared, the people of Missis-
sippi would have, certainly called him
up higher. This writer will not soon
forget his always kindly greeting and
warm official commentator, and he
prays that the sod may rest lightly on
the spot that encloses all that is mortal
of the ~big-hearted and true John r.
Dinsmore.
