PECULIAR PEACE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

ON Wednesday the house of representatives, passed

ippncs TO establish a military post at Manila The
cost OF the war in the Philippines the United States
Is estimated at $lOOo0oo a week Nor is the war in
the Philippines over. According to General Franklin
Bell in charge of the province of Batangas in the
island of Luzon, the nsrocton is as acute as ever.
General Bell states he will put it down by vigorous
and determined" measures.
First General Bell proposes to adopt the recon.
ccntrado methods of General Weyler Then an insur.
gent is declared "a guerrilla outside the pale of civil.
lied warfare and subject to the death penalty when.
over such msurgent does not engage continuously in
the war; General Bell enjoins on all commanders
TO hunt down through loyal spies" all sympathizers
with the rebellion. This admirable officer expresses
particular desire for the capture Of person of wealth
or priest For he says the apprehension of one
individual official, wealthy or priest is of far
greater Importance than the punishment of hundred
ignorant persons"
Not only in Batangas, but in the neighboring prov,
nce of Laguna, the people are almost unanimous in
their support of the Instruction That is General

A VOICE FROM IOWA.

Governor Cummins. the republican governor OF
Iowa, in his recent inaugural address sounds a warn
ing to the republicans of grave import. An cpitomo
of the governors address be condensed into an
epigram of his making: Protection estab-
lshed for man. not man for protection
Governor Cummins reached the tariff by the natu-
raj path that follows from discussion of the trusts.
The Western governor does not believe in these st
fers of competition Nor does he believe in the pres
dents panacea of publicity any than in giving
mild water to patient in need Of drastic
purgation. maade imaginaire may be cured with
bread pills but it is quack who gives such pre-
sciiption for plethora. If accept the proposition
that competition. and that alone will preserve the
people from undue exaction" says the governor, eve
must see to it that if not artifcialy induce
competition at least be certain that do not
artihcally exclude it,"
Whenever tariff protected consolidation destroys
competition it is the imperative duty" of congress
10 remove the tariff. The consequences of a monop
bly,. substantial monopoly in any important prod
act" Infinitely disastrous than the conse
auences of foreign importations" The sham recproc
ty of republicans like Senator Burrows is denounced
Says Governor Cummins Reciprocity that takes
without giving is an idle dream and contradiction il
terms and if its scope embraces only noneompettv,
products it is of little future value in the economy
the nation" Governor Cummins is perfectly right
The great battle to be waged in this country will be
between the people and the trusts. VIII the people
be able to add to their political freedom the achieve
ment of Industrial freedom? The voice from lowe
that cries Ay is encouraging.
Although Governor Cummius calls himself a rcpub
ean, it is good democratic doctrine that he preach
ing, that should be welcomed from whatever source
More and more republicans in the West are coming
TO his way of thinking, for in the West the air i.
fresher and freer and the men OF the West raise ur
their heads to breathe it and throw OF the yoke of the
trusts
