TOOK OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.
First Fruits of the Amnesty Proc
1~aIRatiOn to the Insurgent
FilipinOs.

Manila, June 2S.-Nine of the insur-
gent leaders, including Generals Pho
del Pillar, Conception, Garcia and AL
varez, were released here yesterday
upon taking the oath of allegiance to
the government and renouncing all
forms of revolution in the Philippines,
together with making formal acknowl-
edgment of American sovereignty.
This oath is much stronger and more
binding than the oath which Gen. Otis
administered, and was, consequently,
distasteful to the Filipinos, who ac-
cepted it with bad grace, fully real
izing the results of any violation.
Senior Buencamino took the cath
Monday. 1t is hoped that the sparing
of the nine leaders will influence their
men to take advantage of the amnesty.

Schools Give Rise to An Ex-
citing Incident.

San Juan de Porto Rico, June 2S.-
At a teachers conference held here
Tuesday evening, DIR. Saldana, a men,
Der of the insular board of educa-
ton, during the course of an address,
remarked that the Catholic religion
should again be introduced in the pub
lie schools of Porto Rico.
DIR. Canpos Valladares, a Portuguese
Presbyterian, superintendent of pub
lie instruction in Brazil, took exception
to DR.. SalGana's remarks, and turning
to Bishop Blenk (the bishop of Porto
Rico), said in substance that the Ro-
man Catholic church had Been uega-
tive in results in all the South Ameri-
can countries, asserting hat the IL
literacy prevailing there was due en-
tirely to the church's influence.
This remark cause great excite
ment. No sooner were the words ut
tered than Bishop Blenk jumped to his
feet, and striking the table with his
closed fist, shouted:
1T is a lie" adding, 81 viii not sit
quietly and hear the church of which
I am the representative in Porto Rico
traduced in such language"
After a painful silence, by = common
impulse, the adherents of the bishop
shouted as with one voices
Long live Catholicism" and the in
cident was closed, though it has
aroused much feeling.

B AND TRUSTS.
A Defensive Combination Fighting
Against an Offensive C0mbina-
tion of Greed.

From a republican editor we have
received a characteristic republican
inquiry. It is this:
LAS a partisan of the party in power,
I would like to know what you mean by
and why you are constantly bounding
them n saying nothing about the labor
union trust. Is not the labor trust as op-
pressive as any other trust?
Were not the democratic congressman
cowardly in offering an amendment to
the republican antitrust resolution ex-
empting labor unions from it's provi-
lions?
The democratic congressman were
not cowardly, Mr.. Republican Editor,
and we will tell you why. On the
plains it sometimes happens that a
troop of wolves surround a
herd of buffalo, among which are
many calves. The herd punches close
ly together for protection, with horns
to the foe.
Here we have two trusts-offensive
and defensive. One is an offensive
combination of greed, the other a de-
fensive combination of distress. Is it
not right to thin out the wolves with
a legislative shotgun and let the buff
falo GO in peace?
There is a vast difference in the
money power of ten men with a mil
lion dollars each and a million men
with ten dollars each. Ten million
aires band together to kill competi-
ton, corner products, reduce wages
and restrict supply. A million men
oppressed by the ten organize for the
maintenance of the right of every Ia
boring man to a fair share of the
wealth he creates. This is the So
called labor trust which republican
call an Offensive combi-
nation.
The labor trust does nct-nay, cam
not-purchase congressman, dictate to
courts, command nominations to pub
lie offices or plumber producers. La
boris time is thoroughly occupied in
self-defense.
Labor gets even it's national curren-
cy only after the government has
placed it in the hands of that legal
lied infamy, the banking trust, for
distributions trust which can ex-
pand or contract it at VIII.
We rave given here a few Of the
differences between the offensive trust
of capital and the defensive trust of
labor. They are as far apart in prin-
ciple and in practice as night and day.
There is no harm in any trust that
has nothing more than muscle and
mechanical skill for its foundation.
Such trusts should not be COMPOUNDED
with the criminal trusts. Neither
should they be legislated against
N. Y. World.

The Cause OF Free Silver.


fertile field until production over
takes the money level.
Sixteen to one is the present coinage
ratio between gold and silver. which as
it is also practically the worlds ratio,
b~imetallizers claim should be main
tanned. Free silver means that sill
yer should have the same privilege OF
coinage on individual account at the
minis now possessed by gold. 1t is
essential in order to maintain an auto
matte bimekallic agent of valuation or
base that both metals should possess
this right.
The question of whether the nation
or national banks should control paper
money scarce needs discussion. 1t
would seem as if no one but a stock
holder or officer in a national bank
would advocate or favor delegating so
important a function of government as
that of issuing or the control of paper
money to a private corporation.
The only object banks have in seek
ing to control the issue of paper money
is that they may profit out of it, which
profit would be saved to the general
public if the money was issued by the
government directly to the people. Be-
sides national bank notes are not and
n be legal tender, whereas nation
al notes can and shoul6 be legal tender.
No money is sound or honest that does
not possess this important function.
Considered in its real light the
money question is not difficult to be un-
derstood, while at the same time, its
Importance becomes apparent. Pos
sessing the power to limit the quantity
of money and By working through the
credit system it is possible for the
moneyed class to levy a tribute upon
industry and commerce which would
equal if not outclass Irish landlordism
and feudalism of the middle ages.
Also observe on which side the bond
holding and fxed-income, trust and
monopoly class generally are arrayed,
and anyone with a clear head, who loves
his country and humanity, and whose
intent lies in lettering the condition of
the industrial classes, will experience
no difficulty in determining how to cast
his vote. Unless, indeed, the money
and monopoly interest succeed, as they
have frequently done heretofore, in in
f1uencing the nomination of candidates
to their liking to head the ticket of
both the leading parties.

Music ON the wheel.

It is now possible for the unsteady
minded wheelman to dispense sweet
strains at will for the edification of
himself and such persons as he
chances to meet while engaged in the
pursuit of his ~favorite pastime. An
Arizona inventor has patented a mu-
sic box attachment for bicycles, and
the lively strains of "Rag-Time Liz
may soon struggle for supremacy
with Mendelssohn's Songs Without
Words" if the rider is of a cosmo-
po1itan taste. The music box is at
tached inside the frame and just in
front of the saddle. 4 shaft is run
from the box to the rear wheel, and on
the end of it is a s~tar-shaped wheel
which comes in contact with the
spokes of the bicycle wheel. This
contact turns the shaft and sets the
mechanism of the music box in op-
Grafton. A hand lever enables the
rider to throw it off or on.
