Let the Light,

The republican president tells the
American people that the Philippines
belong to them; that the islands are
their possessions" that we bought
aud paid for them and that they are
our property"
Yet be refuses to let the American
people know what is being done with
these. their new possessions. His
censor refuses to let anything get
through that will hurt the admins
traIinn" or that will help Bryan"
rhe American owners of the Philip
pines are denied official knowledge or
even unofficial news of what their
agents in the islands are really doing
with their property.
This is curious business.
Suppose you had bought farm or
had fought some man for it and had
driven MIN into the swamps after kill
ing his wife and children and burning
his house. Would you be satisfied if
your hired man declined to make
an accounting after two years of oc-
cupaJion?
What would you do about it?
Mr. Mckinley is the nations hired
man. lie is paid $50, 900 year to at
tend to the peoples business, to adj
minister their affairs. He tells US that
he has bought lot of islands for $780,
900, 900; that he has spent 5000 000.-
900 more in try ing to get possession;
that he has nearly IS, 900 men down
there engaged in man-hunting, and
that his war lis over"
But there is much that he doesn't
tell. He allows nothing to come to
his principals that will hurt him.
What has he done with the income of
those islands? What bargains has he
made down there with Interests" of
one kind ard another? What fran
chises have been given away? Who
have been his concessionaires?
Can any body tell? Not if the CEN
sor knows il.

Pensioners to Pay the Piper.

Henry Clay Evans is still Mr.. Nc
Kinley's commissioner of pensions. He
is still administering the laws of con-
gress according to his own sweet will.
Over 400 600 claims are Pigeon-holed
in the pension Office.
The Grand Army of the Republic
has appealed in vain to President Nc
Kinley for fair treatment and fair
Interpretation of the law. But the
president has refused TO listen to the
appeals. He has told Grand Army
men who waited upon him that the
money power was opposed to eniacg
ing the pension roll.
This accounts for Comrade McKin-
ley's otherwise ineXplicable attitude.
The money power has seen him 1t
has told him that the pension roll
could not be syndieated and that
therefore it must be reduced. II could
not be monoPolized and formed into
q trust aud therefore it must be
treated with suspicion.
The money power knows where it
is at" It is just now engaged in a
war of conquest for syndicate pur-
poses in the far east and it is costing
Il good deal of money, which the peo-
pie are paving every time they lick q
stamp or buy pound of sugar.
They can't even die without contrib
uting to the war fund of the imperial
major.
But the money power understands
that this sort of thing cannot go on
forever. Some day the taxpayers will
begin to kick. They have stood the
pension taxes without a murmur.
But will they stand pension taxes and
war taxes too?
The money power thinks not.
Therefore it tells the major to cut
down the pension roll so that the war
fund may not be inperjled. The SOL
diers who fought to preserve the
union are to pay the cost of Mckin-
ley's war in the Philippines. The
money power has decreed it.

mans finds that instead of buying a
calico dress at the total cost OF two
dollars and sixty-five cents, which has
been all the wardrobe her parts have
called for in the last 10 or II years,
she has had to provide herself with
three extremely HANDSOME gowns, and
that instead of resting between the
acts. she will have to employ her time
