CIRCULATION.
A CANCELLED FACTOR.

1t is evident that Aguinaldo has
ceased to be an important factor in
the situation in the Philippines. His
death some weeks ago has been re-
ported in the American press within
the last few days, yet there is no
abatement in the guerilla warfare
which has been prosecuted so long.
II Aguinaldo has passed from this
earthly stage and news of that occur
renee has reached America, is it at
all probable that the fighting men OF
Luzon are ignorant of the fact? News
of that sort spreads rapidly even
where there are no telegraph lines,
and among savage or semi-barbarous
Eeoples marvellous promptness in the
denomination of intelligence is al
vayz noted. If Aguinaldo's personal
leadership has been regarded as es.
: RENTAL the resisting forces would
have laid down their arms weeks ago,
provided any credence was given to
the report of his death.
Dead or alive, there is every evil
dence that the once powerful cher
tan is not the force he once was in
lluzon. For long time there has
been no definite news regarding his
general plan of campaign that would
seem to require his guidance. Guer-
rilla raiders and Shippers" can do
their work as well without the leader
ship of the great general-in- chief as
with it. They operate in small bands,
each providing its own supplies and
its own simple plan of campaign. The
forces of resistance have ceased to
be an army and have been broken up
Into rowing bands of cut-throats That
the leaders of these bands or their
members care or know whether Ag-
uinaldo is alive or dead we grayely
doubt.
Then how long is our battle for the
restoration of order in the Philippines
to last? Next month two years will
have passed since we first began the
pacification of Luzon and real peace
seems little nearer than it was in Feb
ruary, 1900. The method of resist
ance may have been changed some
what. 1t may have lost the dignity
sof real war and assumed the guerrilla
form, but what is the essential diff
ference? The good offices of the Taft
commission have been of small avail
thus far and while a somewhat elaD-
crate New Years reception was pos
sible in Manila, the natives out in the
{ country seem to have made no good
resolutions.
Is this condition to continue two
years more, or ten? There are many
good Americans who are just as tired
of the situation in the Philippines as
the average Englishman is of the con.
dition in South Africa.

BUILD BIGGEST wARsHIPs.
England Will Build Two Larger Than
ANY Afloat,

London, Jan. S.-The British admir-
atty has decided to build two battle
ships which are intended to be the
largest in the world. The distinction
of having the largest warships has
hitherto been held by Italy, with the
Lepanto, and her sistership, the Italia.
Great Britain's two projected large
warships, to be respectively named the
Queen of Wales and Prince of Wales
will be two thousand tons heavier than
the Italian ships mentioned, reaching
the enormous displacement of $4,000
tons,which is $500 heavier than Amer
ica's biggest armor-clad vessel. These
tremendous British vessels will carry
nothing larger than Pinch guns. The
batteries will chiefly be composed of
these guns and of 7.5-inch and 6-inch
guns.

Subjects on Which iowa Editors Talk
To Their Readers.

There is nobody in Iowa that doubts
Senator Allison's right to reelection
to the United States senate. He has
fairly won another term and then
maybe, and let us hope, another. He
might as well consider himself engag-
ed for life. No man from this state
has ever impressed himself more firm
ly on national life and legislation than
Senator Allison. Others may have
been temporarily more brilliant but
he has outgrown all other Iowa repu-
tations. Senator Allison has done it
by steady and sturdy devotion to duty
by intelligent comprehension of the
sentiments of the people, without re-
gard to what the people have done or
thought in moments of excitement and
by diligent application of an acculn-
ulated experience to the serious du-
ties of United States senator. His
is record and career of which eve
ry Iowan is proud, proud at home and
proud in Washington, proud every
where and proud all the time. There
is not an Iowan, republican or demo
Graf, who is not always proud to be
able to say that Senator Allison is
our senator" Once in a while some
rumor gets afioat somehow, about this
or that man wanting Senator Allison's
seat, but the response to the rumor is
always the same iteration and reitera-
ton of devotion and determination for
Senator Allison. 1t must be gratifying
to him, and it is certainly gratifying to
the people of the state.-Cedar Rapids
Republican.
Harrison follows Cleveland in the
belief that something should be done
to rescue the republican party from
the men who have stolen it, but he
does not make as noble a proposition
as did Grover when the latter allowed
it to be understood that he is willing
to head the rescuing party.-Cedar
Rapids Gazette.
It is once more reliably reported
that Aguinaldo is dead but the Amer
lean people have no great liking for
the British style of reporting. They
would like to know what is actually
transpiring in the world. Please send
In the physicians certificate accom-
panied by receipt in full for the SER
vices Of the sexton There is too much

ippine news.-Cedar Rapids Gazette.
Governor Shaw is to be commended
for his course, relative to pardoned
and paroled prisoners. He has order
ed that prison and other officials know
ing the same, shall not disclose the
names of such prisoners. They go out
of prison with the brand of Cain upon
them at best and if they have the ma
terial within them to make good citi-
zens, they should be permitted to de-
velop it. Under the conditions of their
paroles, they make reports of where
they are and what they are doing.
When their names are announced thru
the press. they are marked and made
objects of suspicion, aud if crime is
committed in county where a pa
rolled prisoner is located, he is sure to
be charged with it's commission.-Clinl

TO CONTROL SEABOARD sYsTEH
Company OF New Jersey In
corporated for That Purpose

AS outlined in yesterdays Herald. the
Seaboard Company Of New Jersey,
which was incorporated in Trenton on
tuesday with a capital stock of IS, OOO.-
GOO, Will hold an absolute control of the
Seaboard Air Line Railway Company.
as the Atlantic Coast Line Company of
connecticut does the control Of the At
lantlc Coast Line Railway Company.
Ihose interested were not willing to
discuss the plans yesterday, but it vas
learned that some $50, 900 of the out
standing 4S0.00 common and preferred
shares OF the Seaboard Air Line will be
transferred to the Seaboard Company
OF New Jersey in exchange for 4 per
cent. debenture bonds. Glass A bonds
will be given for the preferred stock
and Class B for the common shares on
a basis yet to be arranged.
The Seaboard Company of New Jer-
sey will probably start with a capital Of
S25O,WO, and the shares representing it
will be held by the oNner of the Sea-
board Air Line stock, which the com.
pany will acquire. In order to make it
impossible for the control of III Sea-
board company, and thus the control
Of the Seaboard Air Line, to slip away
from the present dominant interests
through purchase in the open market,
the stock Of the Seaboard may
be placed in a small voting trust for a
long term Of years.
TIL stocks Of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway are now held by a f0-year vot-
ing trust. but it has been deemed wise
to make certain of a retention of the
control by forming the new Seaboard
company. 1t is not known when the
new corporation will be organized, nor
when the exchange of stocks for bonds
will be made. President Williams is
confined to his home In Richmond with
a heavy cold, and he could not be seen
in reference to the matter last night.
The plan for the formation of the
Seaboard company was decided upon
last June by the present dominant in
terests in the Seaboard Air Line. At
that time the stocks they held were
pooled. The larger interests which
have agreed to go into the new corpor-
alton include: President Williams,
John L. Williams & Sons and the Ricn-
mond Safe Deposit and Trust Company,
Of Richmond; the Continental Trust
Company, the international Trust Com
pany, the Baltimore Trust and Guar
antee Company, J. William Middendorf
& Co., Townsend Scott & Co., and Will
liam A. Marburg, Of Baltimore; Penn
berton, McAdoo & Co., and Ladenburg,
Thalman & Co., of New York; G. Sic
ney Shepard, Of New Haven, Conn.,;
and William F. Cochran. of Yonkers
New York.
AS stated yesterday the charter pow
ers of the company are very broad, en-
abling it to do almost anything under
the sun."-Baltimore Herald.
