THE TRUSTS ATTACK BABcocK.

The trusts have early set their
organs to work attacking Mr. Babcock
in advance of the fall session. The
Washington Post, Republican, but indie
pendent, makes this complaint:
A number of letters more or less gross
iy abusive of Representative Babcock
have reached this office during the present
week. All of them refer to his movement
for anti-tariff legislation and attribute his
course in this very serious matter to other
motives than a desire to promote the gem
eral welfare or help his party. The Post
has noticed the scurrilous attacks upon
Mr.. Babcock by two or three organs of
the American Protective League. and is
not surprised that the writer's of these let
tiers echo those outbursts of vituperation.
AS for Mr.. Babcock's standing in his par
", ii should suffice to say that he has
been placed at the head of the Republican
Congressional Committee for four success
sive campaigns, and that his achievements
in that position have won him unstinted
praise from his political brethren in and
out of Congress and from the Republican
press"
But the trusts are not in politics, that
is, whoever is against them is their en-
envy, be he Republican or Democrat,
and whoever is with them is their
friend, regardless of party. The trusts
are for the trusts first, last and all the
time, and they are for nobody else on
earth. nor will they tolerate anybody
else if they can help it.
They won't tolerate Mr.. Babcock. and
the organs of the American Protective
tariff League are already throwing
mud at that gentleman. who dares to
recognize any other master than the
trusts. or to consider the rights and well
fare Of the people, The Posts COM

In the Barker case the only criticism
is to the effect that celebrated Jersey
justice may have overdone it just a wee
turn. Still, strict justice cannot dis
criminate and man cannot be permit
ted to go about shooting the eyes out of
other men simply on unsupported testi-
mony, even though given by the wife
of his bosom. The chances are, how
ever, that had Mrs. Barker's statement
been half way plausible even a Jersey
jury would have acquitted her husband.

Oath Of Office.

Tafts Inaugural

Manila, July 6.-Civil government IN
the Philippines has been auspiciousiy
inaugurated. Commissioner Taft was
ecorted ~ Generals Macarthur and
Chaffee from his palace to the great
temporary tribune just outside the
Plaza Palacio. Standing on the project
ing center OF the tribune, Taft, the new
civil governor of the Philippine Islands,
took the oath Of Office administered by
Chief Justice Arellano. Governor Tart
was then introduced by General Mac
Arthur, the guns OF Fort Santiago be-
ing fired by way of salute. The feature
Of the inaugural address OF the gov
srnor was the announcement that on
September l the commission would be
increased by the appointment OF three
native members, DR.. Wardo Detavara,
Denito Legarda and jos. Luzuriga. Be
Tore the LIST of September the depart
.nents VIII be as follows: Interior,
Worcester; and police,
Wright; justice and finance, Ide; pub
&c instruction, Moses. or the twenty
seven provinces organized. Taft said
the insurrectlon still exists in five. This
Will cause a continuance OF the military
government in these sections. Sixteen
additional provinces are reported with
out Instructions, but as yet they have
not been organized.
The speaker predicted that with the
concentration OF troops into larger gar
risons II would be necessary for the
people TO assist the police In the pres
ervation Of order. A fleet OF launches
will be procured. he said, which will
facilitate communication among the
provinces as well as aid the postal and
revenue departments. In connection
with educational ersorts the civil gov
ernor said adults should be educated
by the observation OF American meth
| DDS. He said there was n reasonable
hope hat congress would provide a
tariff, a suitable one that would assist
In the development Of the Philippines
instead OF the application Of the United
States tariff. According to the civil
governor there is an unexpended bal
ance In the treasury OF 80, 700, 900 n ar
annual income OF $40, 600, 900. He said
that any possible friction between the
civil and military su~bordinates should
be discouraged. The patriotism Of
leading F~ilipinos was commended. III
conclusion Judge Taft reiterated The
| nope expressed by the president thai
In the future the Inhabitants would b'
grateful for American Philippines vic
tories and they would be indissolublS
linked in ties OF affection with a com
mon country.
