LABOR AND THE BAYONET.

The complaint that Governor Roose-
welt was too hasty in sending militia
to the scene of the Croton Dam strike
calls attention to the growing DISPOSE
ton to use the bayonet in coercing
labor to yield to the terms on which
capital offers employment. The mi
litia should never be summoned, ex-
cept as a last resort, when every other
legitimate means of preserving order
has been tried without success. AS a
matter of fact, there has very rarely.
If ever, been real occasion for order
ing the militia to the scene Of labor
troubles. In most instances, the diff
ficulties could have been terminated by
the local authorities, had they shown
a willingness to deal fairly with la
Dor, and not act merely as the tools
and errand boys Of capital. Should
Mckinley be reelected and Roosevelt
be reelected, there would be no hesi-
tation, 1t is certain, in using the mill
tary arm of the Federal government
in putting down labor agitation.
Roosevelt might vary the monotony
of presidential somnolence by
dashing about at the head of the reg
ulars and "potting" unarmed strikers
when they had their backs turned,
and thus he would be enabled to re-
late a few more stories of his wonder
full courage in shooting down the un-
resisting. The workingman who votes
for Mckinley and Roosevelt will only
have himself to blame if his work
thereafter shall have to be done under
the shadow of the bayonet, ever
ready to prod him should he show
any sign of independence.-New York
News.

WANT NONE OF 1T.

What an administration organ calls
the basic features of the platform,
adopted by the Republican convention
at Philadelphia, include the following:
A plank favoring such legislation
on trusts las will effectively prevent
abuses liable to arise from such con-
ditions."
This plank was drawn by a sub
committee of the committee on resolu-
lions, Senator Joseph B. Foraker OF
Ohio chairman. Foraker is counsel
for the Continental Tobacco COM
pany, better known as the Plug To-
bacco trust. A few weeks ago he left
his seat in the Senate in the midst of
important business to go to Column
bus, O.. and defend his client in an
action brought to annul its charter.
In his address to the court the Sena-
tor went so far outside his brief as
to defend all trusts. as not necessarily
beneficent, but necessary evolution
of business conditions" His rejoinder
to criticism was, What are you going
to do about it," He admitted that la
Dor often suffered from the trust COM
bination, but added with sneer that
this was "only an incident"
Other members of the sub-commit-
tee are:
Fairbanks of Indiana, railroad and
corporation lawyer.
Madden of Illinois, stone trust.
The platform was submitted to a
convention opened and dominated by
Hanna, Ohio, shipping and steel
trusts; and presided over successive
ly by Wolcott, Colorado, counsel D..
& r. G. r. R. and numerous street
car and other corporate interests.
Lodge, Massachusetts, railroad and
corporation lawyer.
Such a committee and such con-
vention are, of course, competent to
shape an antitrust policy that will
be entirely satisfactory-to the trusts.

EXPORTS TO PHILIPPINES.

The table of United States exports
to the Philippine islands is not with
out its significance, the exports in the
aggregate amounting to something over
two million dollars worth Of goods an
nually; but the list shows a disparity
of staple articles, outside of certain
amount of trust" machinery and war
implements. For example, we ship no
cattle, no fresh beef of any kind, no
eggs. no corn. no hogs, no sugar, no
poultry, and but very little bread
stuffs; but we do furnish the Filipinos
with $369,974 worth of malt liquors,
and $97, 224 worth Of distilled spirits
annually. 1t appears from this list
that outside of certain machinery fur
nished by the trusts we have but one
commodity for the Filipino, and that
is the Indians irewater.-Seattle Her.

J. J. HILL. PROPHET.

Jim Hill has gone forth branded as
a prophet. The Spokesman-Review did
it. According to that paper Jim Hill
says that the famine in the Dakotas
will increase emigration to the land OF
sunshine-and of rain-which is the
puget Sound country. Mr.. Hill is then
all right. Tally one for Mr.. Hill. Mr..
Hill is also accused of saying that the
war in China pleases him, since it will
open up trade" Mr.. Hill, we say,
trade be id! We are anxious to
see trade go to the farthest corners
of the earth if it can go honorably.
Neither do we love China; neither do
we think her cause is just. But, Mr..
Hill. we have an evil to fight in this
country, and that evil is incarnate In
the shape of all commercially inspired
men who are willing to sacrifice the
lives of all men-except themselves
for their greed for gold. Curse the
day when such men as you are able
to dictate Internationally such terms
as you suggest, Mr.. Hill! 1t were bet
ter for us all, Mr.. Hill, II milestone
we're hung about our necks and we
were cast into the midst Of the sea
than to have such bloodthirsty doctrine
as you preach prevail upon the foot
stool of God who created all men
equal.

The bicycle, according to recent
decision of the full bench of the Mas
sachusetts supreme court, is not a
Carriage" within the meaning Of that
term as used in the statutes. Cities
and towns are consequently not bound
by law to keep their roads in such a
state of repair and smoothness that a
bicycle-rider can go over them in
safety. This decision was called forth
by an action brought against certain
Massachusetts town, because of per-
sonal injuries incurred by the plain
tiff while riding her bicycle on one of
the roads. The court held that BIZ
cycle is more properly machine than
a Carriage" as legally defined, and
that bicycle-riders, injured from acct
dents arising from defects in the high
ways of cities and towns, have not a
valid claim for damages. The deci-
sion will not prevent them from con-
tinuing the agitation for good and safe
roads.

In speaking of the possibility Of an
alliance between Peru, Bolivia and the
Argentine Republic, with view to war
with Chile, an American, who has
lived in Chile for a number of years,
says: Peru and Bolivia know very
we'll that they cannot whip Chile. and
the outcome of war, in the event of
the alliance I have named, would be
the same. The Chileans can and will
fight. We can put $4,000 men in the
field, for 10 per cent of the population
can be counted upon in the event Of
war. We have ample modern arms,
and I have no fear as to the outcome.
Should the Queen of England decide
against Peru in the boundary arbitra-
ton, war may result, though l am Of
the opinion that it can be avoided"
