TRUST HELPED BY TARIFF.
republican Congressman Sees Dam
ger for His Party in Existing
MOnOpOIies.

Representative Roberts, of MaSsa-
.husetts, had the beef trust in mind
when he presented his free hide
amendment to the Cuban bill a few
lays ago, says the New York Herald.
In explaining his attitude on the tar
IF question, as well as that of many
Of his younger colleagues, Mr.. Rob-
erts said:
good republicans, when a revision OF the
arif inside of the party is absolutely nee
esary for self-preServation. I shall begin
At once to urge a caucus, and will circulate
petition for this purpose, to appoint
publican tariff revision commission, to sit
during the recess of congress and report
text December. Unless some intention is
shown along this line by the republican
party there is the greatest danger of losing
he fall elections.
There were many inequalities in the Ding
ey law when 1t was passed, and others have

conditions. These must be corrected, or

Fery dangerous is the growth Of trusts and
heir harmful effects on the consumer One
IF the most rapacious of these trusts is the
beef trust. In six or seven different sched-
lies this great trust gets unnecessary pro-
lection on live beef, dressed meat, canned
meat, hides, bone and bone products manu-
featured horn and glue. The result of this
ver-protection every consumer in the coun-
cry is now feeling.
I'm the matter of hides. for instance every
purchaser of shoes contributes to the big
six which go to make up this trust, which
is the sponge absorbing the tariff on hides
and all others levied on meats in any form
Inequalities like this, out of which have
grown other harmful combinations, make

LEARNING THE TRUTH.
act. Rerardinx War i'm the Philip.
pines Slowly Being Given to
the Public.

Secretary Root as graclouSly Fer
nitted the publication of the dis
patch from Gen. Chaffee expressing
regret that 35 Moro prisoners, who
were disarmed, were shot down while
attempting to escape.
Gen. Chaffee quotes dispatch from
Gen. Davis stating that 81 Moro pris-
oners who were sitting on an open
hilltop surrounded by a strong guard
suddenly sprang up and rushed
down the hill, when the guard and
one company opened fire without or
ders and killed 35 of the number. The
others, excepting nine who were re-
captured, escaped, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
The noteworthy thing about this
is that Secretary Root has been so
good as to give all this to the public
without waiting to have it extracted
by the main strength of a resolution
from one house or the other of con-
gress.
For this burst of confidence in the
American people on the part of the
despotic secretary of war we have to
thank the democratic minority in the
senate and few indignant republic
ans in both houses.
The administration and its support
ers in congress and the republican
newspapers with some honorable ex-
ceptions have been proceeding on the
theory that the American people
have no right to know what is being
done in their name to the natives of
islands some 10000 miles away and
thatit is not only impertinent but I'M
patriotic for them to ask for infor-
nation.
They have assumed that if whole
sale slaughter, cruel torture and
many other things contrary to the
accepted laws of civilized warfare
were perpetrated in their name and
in pursuance of orders nobody but
the men who gave the orders and ex-
ecuted them have any right to know
the facts.
The minority in congress is entitled
to credit for insisting on adherence
to the time-honored principles and
practices of the republic.
1t is entitled to credit for dragging
to light the secrets of war depart
ment despotism.
1t is entitled to credit for disclos-
ing the fact that there are secrets in
this Philippine BUSINESS not at all
creditable to the country.
1t is entitled to credit for frighten-
ing the administration into disclos-
ure of some of the ugly facts which
prove that an irresponsible despot-
ism is exercised in the name of the
American people over millions of hui
man beings by men who prefer to
conceal their facts from those in
whose name they exercise their des-
potic power.
How much more remains to be dis
closed can only be conjectured. We
may infer good deal from the state
ment of Senator Lodge, spokesman
for the administration, that over 300
officers and men have been tried by
,ourt-martial recently for cruelty to
the natives of the islands, but the
whole truth, which the people have
light to know, will never be brought
20 light until we have a democratic
congress and administration.

forenoon. Mr. Marden got within
about so yards Of what he thought to
be a dog. when to his amazement ne
discovered he was looking into the face
of cat-like creature. which was about
the fiercest looking fellow that Mr..
Marden ever met in the woods. Inc
animal was considerably longer than
an ordinary dog. had very long tail
which curled near the end. and ms
color was black. Mr.. Marden didn't
investigate any further. neither did the
animal. and at last accounts they were
going with considerable speed in ex-
actly opposite directions.
