OF the navy.
A footing was secured there many
years ago through the assent of the
local authorities, but it was desired
that the Mexican government should
give its full authorization to The work
contemplated by the United States.
Through the state department ex-
tended negotiations were carried on
with Mexico, resulting finally in com

station. The work has been in prog

expended in coal warehouses. docks,
slips, and in the most modern facil.
ties for loading coal upon ships of war.
The capacity of the station is 5000
tons of coal. A Mexican customs Of

FLAVOR OF WHITEFiSH.
Commission Declares IL Due to

ConSidcra bic complaint has been
made recently Of the Impaired favor
of the whitc!iSh furnished Chicago

which, up to the present time, there
seemed no explanation. 1t was said
al the fish commission by one Of their
experts there could he no better eN-
pIanation of this deterioration com
planned of than such facts as that
which recently developed, that mil
lions of pounds of fish were thrown
upon the Chicago market which had
been kept in cold storage for several
years. The delicate flavor of the
whitefiSh that has made it the best
food fish Of the great lakes is seri-
ously impaired by shipping or stor-
age. and to receive the full benefit OF
the delicate white meat it should be
eaten a few hours after catching

In speaking Of the whitefiSh sup

said: "Thc common whitefsh appears

1t is said at the commission that

Aguinaldo today doesn't appear in
the public eye so much Of patriot and
hero as he did few weeks ago. His
taking the oath of allegiance to the
power that would enslave his country
has caused this change in the estima-
ton of his manhood. And yet it isn't
safe to jump at conclusions in the FORM
alton of that estimate. The motives Of
the man should be considered. Also all
the circumstances surrounding the case.
May it not be that the spectacle of
some Of his own people being found as
miserable traitors and hirelings in the
ranks of the enemy created such an i'm
preston on his agonized heart as to
make him lose faith not only in his
cause, but in human nature as we'll.
And how many other influences may
not have been brought to bear-false
promises and representations-toe effect
the result?
However, the name of Aguinaldo will
live in history when that Of his captor
will have been forgotten. The great
heart of humanity is ever for right and
justice and will do homage to the man
ready to fight and suffer for principle,
when there is nothing but DIGESTION for
the soldier of fortune, ready to serve
any cause, good or bad alike, in order

Funston at one time entering the army

spired by the hatred of oppression and
the love of freedom, now to find him
leading a gang of miserable hireling
traitors to entrap by deception pa
triotic leader of people actuated by the
same spirit of independence.
That this man Funston is an Ameri-
can citizen and has performed this ex-
plot on behalf of his own country and
government, makes it none the less
reprehensible. The same inconsistency
is there all the same. No man has the
moral right to do that for his country
that would be unjustif1able in his do
ing it for another country. II Spain
had no moral right to govern the people
of Cuba against their will, neither has
the United States of America to govern
the people of the Philippine islands
against their WILL So FunstOn's act
of cunning trickery cannot appeal to
the heart of genuine manhood nor to
the spirit of true patriotic impulse no
more than the people of these United
States can feel impelled to build monu-
ments to the memory of Benedict Ar

In order to save the middlemen from

temporarily all of our party principles,
we fooled away eight years of valuable
time, and, finally, we are told we are

In great movement" That move
ment will distinguish not only the
Twentieth century. but al centuries to
follow. ~
The formation Of trusts Is simply the
preliminary steps in the organization
Of government ownership.
In short time, as Mr.. Carnegie says.
American railways will be OF one In
terest and one man can fix rates."
The one man to fix rates should be
the man ELECTED By ALL THE
PEOPLE to manage the railroad inter-
ests of all the people.
He should arrange rates fairly, in
the interest Of the people and not in
the interest of himself or Of the share
holders 4 *

duce rates and taxes and consider only
the public interest ae

ing facilities. ri 81
At present we cam only hope for the
preliminary step-which Carnegie fore
sees. Il 5o

of men will own or control all the rail-
roads. The eighty millions of inhabi-
tants will be taxed as the one man may

the government, which means all the
people, will own and control the rail-
roads, which are valuable solely because
the people live and use them.
There is no reason for being in hur-
ry about the government ownership.
The thing to do is to talk about it,
agitate in it's favor, and, If necessary,
fight for it when the time is ripe.
At present the individual owners and
organizers are doing an indispensable,
highly valuable work.
They cost great deal, but they de-
serve what they get.
1t was necessary to have private mail
carriers and extortionate rates before
we could get the government mail sys-
tenn and two-cent postage.
1t is necessary to have private, indi-
vidual control of the national railroads,
with extortionate dividends on endless
watered stock, before we can get the
government system, nationally owned
and properly managed
While waiting for national ownership
to come, let us be grateful to the big
organizers whose intelligence and
avariciousness combine so beautifully
to arrange for a better future condi-
ton.
The railroads will belong some day to
the people, whose numbers and industry
make railroads possible. When that
day comes we shall owe gratitude to the
Morgans, Rockefellers, Carnegies and
others. We shall even smile kindly on
their degenerate descendants, as they
travel about with their large and un-
necessary fortunes, running their health
and their brains in spending the re-
wards which their organizing ancestors
really earned.

MORGAN AND THE SHIP SUBSIDY.

MOhUAN AMI SnAI SODS1Dxe
j. Perpont Morgan has organized another
trust. He has purchased the Leyland
steamship line and combined it with that
of the Atlantic Transport company. This
combination will operate 81 large ocean
steamers, and it is freely predicted that
the new interest in the ship subsidy bill
which this move will give to Mr.. Morgan
will result in the passage of that measure
The man who is shrewd enough to organize
all the trusts of the, day, and influential
enough to have the attorney for the greatest
trust of them all made attorney general Of
the United States, ought to have sufficient
influence with Republican congressman to
accomplish the passage of MIR. Hannas sub
sidy bill-Commoner.
How about Mr. Morgan's influence
with Democratic congressman? The
congressional records show that the
support given the bill in the last con-
gress by the Democrats and Republi-
cans was about stand off.
1t is now we'll understood that the
most intimate associate of ]. P. Morgan
is J. J. Hill. Mr.. Hill is not Repub-
lican, but Democrat. The business
interests of these gentlemen are so
closely related as to~be nearly akin to a
partnership. :.
1t was Mr.. Hill who prevented the
passage of the subsidy bill at the last
session of congress. The defeat of the
bill was most skillfully managed. Mr..
Hill believes in subsidies, but he wants
the cash paid to Pacific shipping. Last
year when the bill first came forward it
was designed to aid Atlantic shippers.
Senator Hanna and his friends were
expected to receive the plums. This
scheme would have carried except for
the energetic and timely interference Of
Mr.. j. J. Hill. Mr. Hill did not want
to madly rush inta congress and the
daily press as opposed1 to subsidies on
the ground that subsidies rob
the farmer and laboring man to enrich
the subsidized corporations.
This would tell tooi. much truth, it
would give the snap Iaway, it would
open the eyes of the public and the sub
sidy bill would be killed for all time.

wanted it for himself; he did not want

HOW TO MEASURE RESULTS.

(By ]. H. Curran, Secretary Kansas Peo-
pies Party Committee.)
Once in while we get letters from our
workers out over the state, telling us how
hard it is to do anything, and though they
have tried and tried. so little has been ac-
complished that they are thoroughly dis
couraged. We wish to say this to all these:
That in the great law of comprehension
nothing is ever done in vain. Even if you
cannot discover a single result from your
labors, remember always that the cause is
being preached, the seed is being sown, the
ground is being watered, and just so sure
as time and life and death, results will
come. Many an old r-horse, SCARED with
the battles of many years, saw the party go
down to defeat last fall through tears Of
disappointment, but let me ask them if our
principles have not grown into the hearts
of the people wonderfully in the time they
have labored? Have they not emerged from
the category of scarecrows to the dignity of
public policies which are acknowledged as
the wisest and the best? And who wrought
all this? Was it not you, who, fastening
on the limit of s'three score and ten.' have
day after day, in season and out of season,
taught in the highways and in the little sod
schooihouses the things that you knew were
true, and, being true, were bound to win?
Even though the party has lost in the vot-
ing, you have the victory and now in the
evening of your lives, while the shadows of
night are gathering, you may see in deep
content the harvest of your toll. What
though it must be gathered by other and
younger hands? You planted the seed and
the harvest is here

These are words of strength, courage
and wisdom. They should be carefully
considered by every reformer. Mr..
Curran has seen the real facts as they
are. We fought fusion with all the
power at our command and are still
of the opinion that fusion was a mis-
take.
We are not unmindful of the fact that
fusion brought the Democratic rank and
file into such close relations with Pop
ulists and Socialists that thousands of
converts were made.
