twelve officers and pa men captured and
many more wounded. The number wound

the Fiiipinos entirely lack hospital facni-

die. Probably the weeks work finished
1000 insurgents. The American loss was
nine killed and sixteen wounded Two ser

The insurgents have been aggressive in
almost every province of Luzon. Gen.

Pillar Is supposed to be again In COM

three hours fight during a night attack.
The loss Of the insurgents in this engage

Twenty-Five Filipinos. in the province of

REPEAL THE STAMP TAX.

While the people Of the United States
are kept busy licking revenue stamps
and sticking them on every conceivable
paper and document in use for the pur-
pose Of maintaining the war in the Phil
ippine islands. it may prove interesting
to note the internal revenue for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1899, was about 800
100000 greater than for the previous year:
and for the part of the fiscal year to
date the internal revenue receipts are
$4,000, 900 larger than for the corresnond-
ing period in 1S99
Up to date the surplus Of receipts over
expenditures for the present fiscal year is
about $55,0Oo,O00. as against deficit OF
sso.ooO,OoO for the previous year This
means that congress will have to deal
with a surplus from this source of at
least 900 for the present fiscal year
almost enough upon which to start an
other war. To wipe out the war tax
would be to leave a deficiency owing to
the expense of maintaining the Philippine
war, so that the continuance and the
total extinction of the tax present equally
embarrassing problems.
The receipts from war revenue stamps
on documents. from which the general
public suffers most, amounted last year
to 500, 600. so that If this stamp tax
were repealed 1t would still leave sur
plus of $s6, O.eoO and it's repeal would be
highly popular and sensible move There
is no earthly use in piling up a surplus
the way this war tax is being allowed to
do, especially when the tax is great
annoyance and burden upon the people,
who are tired OF the distasteful Job Of
sticking stamps on checks. te;egrams, ex-

ton which inaugurates 1t. Consistency
is Jewel of such priceless value that It's
possession has come to be regarded by
our masters at Washington as beyond
reach. To be consistent we must treat all
our new islands alike. II we give to one,
we cannot withhold from the others. If
we withhold from all. the great policy
of national expansion about which so
much is being heard these days from the
cuckoos of the administration will pre-
sent itself 10 all surrounding peoples as
a prospect before which all American
races anxious to continue free must stand
appalled, What delightful prospect 1t
might present, for instance, to the Cuban
people If they are ever confronted by
the prospect of absorption by the United
States! What a delightful example we
will hold out to our Latin-Americau
neighbors who have been taught to re-
gard the United States as at once their
patron and exemplar in the ways of civil
and political freedom!
The Hawaiian puzzle is uppermost for
the time. Its solution is certain to shed
a new and vivid light on imperialism, no
matter what that solution may be.
