REPORT FROM OTIS
Gives the Losses OF officers and Men
During priI

WASHINGTON. May 4.-The War De-
partment to-day received the following
report from General Otis:
''MANIIA, May April captures
from enemy, thirty pieces artillery, 1909
rifles considerable ammunition and large
stores property. During early portion of
the month the enemy was active in ex-
IRENE northern and southern LuZon, and
some Visayan islands. Our reported loss
es for the month are thirteen enlisted
men killed, three officers, twenty-four
enlisted men wounded; rumored
recent loss in Samar of IS killed,
and number wounded not yet re-
ported. This is due to small attachments
scouting in mountains in the anterior OF
the island. The enemys losses, officially
reported, were 1.72l killed, wounded and
captured. Leading Flipinos express con-
fidence III the early pacitication of the
islands. They say the war has termi-
mated; leading Insurgents are surrender

him what trust Is. We have never
vet seen one of the blatant orators on
this subject fall to stumble when asked
this question The fact Is that well-nish
every organization in the United States
which is denounced as a trust is nothing
whatever but an ordinary corporation
with very great resources and with a
wide-spreading business. Now, If there
be any difference in principle between
such a corporation and a corporation
with a capital of 5000 engaged In the
business of quarrying granite on the
James River, we are utterly unable 10
perceive that difference, and we nave
never seen any one else who was able to
perceive it. Every intelligent man, there
fore, must see that when he wages war
upon great corporation with a great
capital ne ds simply waging war upon the
principle of doing business through cor
porations, and what would be the state
of this country's development if we had
no industrial corporations? What would
be its future progress if we should plant
ourselves upon the position that there
should DE no more industrial corpora
tions? America would still be the wilds
of the West that she was 800 years ago
If we mad had no corporations, and her
astounding progress and progressiveness
would come to an immediate end if we
should have no more corporations in the
future.

fact that should he proclaimed, that the

ford's resolution, but not his speech. AS
IT could not adopt the one without appear

The Virginia Democracy Is quite willing
to lay free silver on the shelf and make
the fight on the living issues of the day,
but it is not ready to confess publicly
that its convention in 1856 was wrong, a
political party will usually try to correct
a political Dlunder. but when it comes to
confessing the same, that is another CUES

VIRGINIA GETTING RIGHT ON
TRUSTS.

That bright and observing correspond
ent OF the Washington Post. II. L. w,
who attended the Norfolk Convention.
telegraphing his paper the result of his
observa atoms said that when MIR. Flood.
in taking the place of the temporary
chairman of the convention, declared
strongly in his speech against expansion
there was vigorous and earnest applause
from a great number of the body But
in marked contrast to this was the re-
ception which his denunciation OF
trusts received. This part of his sub
ject was treated with entire indifference.
Such being the case, one might have con-
iectured what would be the nature of the
platform to be adopted upon this sub
ject 1t is not surprising, therefore, that
when the platform came TO deal with
trusts" 1t should have been confined to
the .glittering generaiities' that we find
in it It confines itself to a denunciation
OF criminal trusts" and unlawful COM
einations of capital There is no one
who will not Join most heartily in this
condemna ton of trusts. Havemeyer, the
head of the American Sugar Trust; Duke,
the head of the American Tobacco Trust.
and Rockefeller. the head of the Standard
Oh Trust. if these are trusts, will all
agree that criminal trusts should be ex-
terminated and that unlawful conbna-
lions of capital should be suppressed.
The Democratic platform. therefore. in
dealing with trusts has simply said moth
ing. and The Times notes the fact with
much interest.
Several years ago. when we began to
discuss this question, the temper OF the
people was different. We recall with
what horror was received the contention
OF The Times that there was a good side
as we'll as a bad side to the trust. The
antitrust people insisted that the trust
was a combination OF wickedness and al
together evil They thought that The
Times had gone mad. But The Times
replied that it was the duty Of a public
journal to search for the truth. and hay
ing found it 70 proclaim the same. And
SO The Times continued to tell the truth
about trusts, and 1t is Interesting and
gratifying that those who We're so rio-
lently opposed to The Times view a Few
years ago are now agreed with US that
there is such thing as a good trust,
and that only criminal trusts" should be
throttied.
Since we have taken this subject IN
hand we cannot drop ie without a re.
mark or two upon SONS Q: the e;emsn-
tary principles connected with II. and we
call upon every citizen whose mind is yet
infested by the bugaboo of trust" to

THE PEOPLE AROUSED.

The observer of political conditions IN
Virginia must have noticed that during
,he mast several years the people OF
this State have taken little interest III
politics This apathy Of the people III
respect to their public matters IS a most
distressing circumstance. The people 1na'
takes no interest in its public affairs
is at the apex Of the hill, and It's next
sten will he a downward one upon the
ether side. There are no truer lines
than those of Goldsmith:
I'll fares the lara1 to Fastening ais a
whore wealth accumulates and men de-
cay,
Princes and lords may flourish or may
fail;
breath can make them as breath
has made;
But bold peasantry, their county S
When once destroyed, can never be sup
Piled :"
The decay which makes a land prey
to Fastening ills need not proceed from
acumuIating wealth. and decay which
proceeds from the cause now operating
in virginia may be just as fatal as the
other.
One reason for this apathy on the part
of the people is that there is no OPPOSE
ton party. and another, we believe. is
that public affairs have fallen into the
hands of a clique, and the clique has such
a strong organization that the people
have felt it was useless for them to con-
i- f,nfn fart
that when d man makes up his mind to
offer for an office in the gift of the people
of Virginia, he goes first Of all, not to
the people, but to the clique, and having
made his peace with his clique, having
been endorsed by the machine, he feels
that his election is sure.
But we are encouraged to believe that
the people are waking UP and arousing
themselves no the necessity of taking a
livelier interest in public affairs. There
is throughout the length and breadth
of the State a demand for a Constitu-
tional Convention, and we belive that the
demand proceeds largely from that class
of people who would shake off their
political bondage. We do not mean by
that TO say that there is large ele-
ment in Virginia who are disposed to
quit the Democratic party. But the
white men of the State feel that they
must stand together whether or not, so
long as there is danger Of negro rule,
and they know that SO long as the
present order of things continues it is
impossible to fight the political machine
with a well organized independent
movement But with the negro vote
well out Of the way and with the menace
of negro rule out of the way the white
people of Virginia will take hold OF their
own affairs and manage them according
to their will and not the will OF the
political machine.
In other words, this demand for a
Constitutional Convention to qualify the
suffrage is a demand for a new declara-
ton Of Independence in Virginia, and I'M
less we totally mistake the temper of
the people that declaration will soon be
Forthcoming.
