AguinnIdo No Martyr.

There is nothing Of the martyr in
Aguinaldo; indeed, nothing of the
fanatic. lie is simply politician of
the oriental type whose party has
been defeated in arms, but hopes to
be successful in office. AS the United
States means to continue to hold the
Philippines as possessions, it's policy
will be to employ local talent in adj
ministration as long US chat talent
continues trustworthy, and AguinaL
do will be trustworthy so long as II
is worth his while. We shall not be
surprised IL Aguinado becomes con-
spicuous as one of the agents we
shall employ to solidify our domi
nation. There are a good many peo'
pie in this country who think that
the United States will grant absolute
independence to the Philippines, but
these people are doomed to see their
opinion discredited. They will see
tranquility restored in the Philip
pines under the American flag as the
Filipinos adjust themselves to our SUI
premacy and our people adjust them
selves to colonial system" Dos

PICKLE TRUST.
Capitalized at s2,OOo,OOO, Will Control
 Raw Material.

From the Pittsburg Post
 A pickle trust, with capital of $2,000,- 900, was formed in New York yesterday. The new combine will control all the raw material in the United States, Germany and England, while negotiations are now on for the control of the annual produc- ton of France. The new trust has been under consideration among numerous dealers in the United States for several monhts. and the representatives from this country have been in all the leading cities in Europe for the purpose of getting op- tions on this years crop.
 The combine was form ed in New York yesterday in the office of Julius Wolf. an Eastern packer. Reports from all the agents of the new trust showed they had control of all marketable cucumber pickles in Germany and England.
 The formation of the new trust was brought about by the short crop Of raw material in this country this year. The shortage, it Is estimated, will reach 300, 900 bushels and was caused by dry wealth CT in the West during the early sum- mer.
 The total crop of cucumber pickles fin the United States each year Is about 4,- COG, 900 bushels The usual price per bush- el averages 75 cents. At the present time raw pickles are bringing $1.50 in all large Eastern and Western markets, and the supply is very limited.
 For the surplus stock in England and Germany it is stated the new trust paid over $1 per bushel. The New York agents
