THE PHILIPPINE WAR.

The advocates of the policy of the government in
the Philippines have the more difficult task
1t is always hard thing to advocate wrong. No
body not the most enthusiastic imperialist really
believes that the we are wagng in the Philippines
is really right.
Everybody agrees with Thomas Jefferson, who ex-
pressed the truth very simply and forciby when he
said: Il know of but code of morality for men,
whether acting sngly or collectively" Everybody
agrees with Benjamin Franklin in this yet stronger
announcement: Justice is strictly due between
neghbor nations between neghbor citizens. high

gang when he plumbers singly and nation that
makes unjust is only great gang

MR.. JUSTICE BREWER ON GENERALIZATION.

David Josiah Brewer associate Justice of the SUI
preme court of the United States, in delivering his
commemorative address at the Yale bicentennial
Wednesday last had something to say the central
zing tendency of the times which because of the dis
ngushed position Of the speaker and the Importance
OF the occasion has received widespread attention
throughout the country
MI Justice Brewer said in part you can not stay
this movement toward consolidation and Capitalization
1t is National evolution the commercial spirit taking
advantage of the wonderful facilities given by steam
and by electricity Injunction against strikers will not
stop it, Legislation against trusts will not Attempt
ing to stay the Of its chariot wheels by in
junction or statute is unacy Appeal must be taken
to the great of public opinion whose DEGREES
irresistible. That court may not stay the movement
but will control it"
The Post respectfully submits to the learned justice
that he is here pronouncing upon matters beyond his
jurisdiction The powers Of the court of the
United States are very great and its jurisdiction is
tensive it is the highest tribunal in the land but the
movement toward consolidation and Capitalization Is
matter of history and not matter of law This move
ment is matter utterly beyond the control of the SUI
preme court of the United States or of any justice
thereof No of that high tribunal hasten
retard t. nor in any affect It's course 1t is
questionable if a Judge of the supreme court of the
United States, upon whose shoulders rest momentous
legal burdens and the solution OF the most important
litigation fitted to discuss questions which belong to
the departments of the historian and the socologst.
Legislation against in the State of Texas has
been very efhcacous. The movement of the chariot
wheels of consolidation and Capitalization have been
blocked in this respect that they not over
the people of this State In other States the remedy is
in the hands of the people. The learned justice is
clearly wrong upon this point
When the distinguished speaker goes on to speak of
the good to be accomplished by public opinion, as
formed by the educated lover of his country he is en-
tirey The educated lover of his country by
leading and guiding public opinion is to be looked to-
as Mr. Justice Brewer says, "for the preservation OF
the liberty of the individual against the threatened
dominance of wealth and organization; to invigorate
the so-caIed generates OF the declaration of indie
pendence to extermnate the assassin; to put end
to anarchism"
All this is true But legislation, when it is not cor
rupted is the voice of public opinion If public opinion
and legislation sound and healthy, and If the courts
fuldll their function of enforcing the statutes
framed by the peoples WILL the people will not only
control the movement toward consolidation and cen
razaon but will stay it altogether, if such be then
good pleasure.

One of Houstons good citizens-a gentleman who
has resided here for long period Of yearsin in

that is worthy Of note that is the indifference of

the part of the people responsible for his election the
first place Unfortunately, this estimate of the good
citizen is largely justified by his conduct in the recent
past in this community.
There are always few of these good citizens who
are willing to do their part for the general good but
they have almost uniformly been unable to accomplish
anything because Of the apathy of their neghbors and
friends. These now, as they have always
been the only reliance have for a active,
lively and healthy public sentiment at this important
time.
