to the following cablegram, which
was read:

peace will soon be crowned with sue
cess. Until now political parties have at
tempted formation on plans more or less
questioning American sovereignty. Our
platform makes main plank sovereignty
of United States with liberty to each
citizen to pursue peacefully his political
ideas. Hour of peace has sounded. On
our platform are grouped many Filpinos
of hitherto irreconcilable ideas, but some
more obstinate decline to join, for
though willing to accept sovereignty of
United States, the prospect of indefinite
continuance of military government
makes them distrust purposes of the
United States and delays their submits

adjournment of present congress with
out giving president authority to estab-
lish purely civil government with usual
year of such government until new
congress, will certainly confirm this dis
trust. Directory of the federal party
believes comforting such authority on
president would inspire confidence, hasten
acceptance of sovereignty of union, and
the coming of peace. Directory there

thorize President Mckinley to establish
civil government whenever he believes it

Rapid Commercial Progress.

'The general conclusion to be drawn
from a survey of the conditions in foreign
countries, as described in the reports here
with presented, is that the United States
IS approaching. even more swiftly than
was expected. position of eminence in the
worlds markets, due to superior quality
and greater cheapness of many lines of its
anufactures. which must work great
economic changes and may result in shift
ing the center not only Of industrial, but
of commercial activity and the money
power of the world to our marts The
trade indications of American supremacy
during the past year have been SO marked
that many foreign industries, according to
the reports of our consuls in Europe, are
introducing American machinery and Ia
bor-saving appliances and remOdeling their
factory methods, and we may expect, IN
the near future, more strenuous compe-
titon for which it is important we should
prepare ourselves. AS an aid to such
equipment. the study of the great mass of
information as to foreign industries and
trade conditions. which is to be found in the
two volumes of Commercial Relations, will
obviously prove most useful to our manu-
facturers and exporters, and 1 therefore
recommend that congress be requested to
authorize, as was done last year, the print
ing of a special edition of 10000 copies OF
the Review of the Worlds Commerce and
5000 copies of Commercial Relations.

 by the Brooklyn Eagle: He was the
 chief counsel in defense of the only

 the arbitration of the gravest difficult | ties ever settled without war between | the greatest two nations in the world,

NOT so TERRIFYING.

The trusts aren't soaring people as much as they were, and even the latest and greatest of them all doesn't seem to
 be terrifying. Many of them aren't prospering, and there are indications l that more of them will not be. What
 may happen is indicated by the Journal of Commerce, which tells investors in
 industrials that they will need to re-
 consider their position. They are threatened by two large dangers, those, | namely, of overcapitalization and the 1 imminence of lower tariff duties. At the end of 1900 the nominal capital of
 the trusts consisted of s6S0,00O,00O in
 bonds, s125O,OOO,Oo0 of preferred stock and $2736, ,000, GOO of common stock The common stock--fifty per cent of the whole-is nine-tenths water The bonds
 and the preferred shares have value
 behind them, as a rule, but the common stock represents only such unsubstan-
 tial things as "good will" hopes and memories of past profits. The common stock brought no new capital into en- terprises. In nearly all cases, the Jour nal affirms, "it Is worthless fiction" Till recent years railroad financing went on the same plan that the trust makers have followed. The early rail- roads were built with the proceeds of the sale of bonde, the stock being thrown in" This abuse of stock of course affected the fortunes of the rail- roads, making stock gambling easy and preventing the raising of fresh capital except through foreclosures and reor- ganizations. Their credit was crippled and -fourths of them have passed through bankruptcy, to the ruin of many investors.
 An antitrust tariff may soon be called for. Indeed, some think that will be an issue in the next election. Hard times and an antitrust tariff would strew the land with the wrecks of trusts.

 The court may put the negro back into the church. but it cannot put him back into the mental and moral condi- tion he was in before voting the Demo- cratic ticket He has had terrible fall, and no court can lift him to his original position, any more than all the king S horses and all the kings men could put Humpty Dumpty back. The church that expelled him had the right idea of him, and did simple justice.
