"Pacifyins- the Filipinos.

Governing a people without their
consent is not only contrary to the
principles of our declaration of indie
pendence. but it is also an expensive
process in blood and treasure. Our
experience in the Philippines is an
object lesson that even people who
run may read. Fighting is still going
on there. The farce-tragedy of 1.-The
war that is over" continues. \ report
that was permitted to trickle out of
Manila last week tells of an encoun-
ter of our army of subjugation with
$3.50 rebels" in the capital of the isl
and of Asbay, in which the attacking
party was repulsed after three
hours fight with a loss of Is killed
and Is wounded. The losses on the
other side were confined to four non
combatants and one scout.
And so the work of 'pacification'
goes on.

Gen. La Toilette. (rep.), of Wiscon-
sin. made a speech on 'Representa-
tive Government" at Chautauqua, y.
Y, last week in which he declared
that the trusts rule the nation: that
they control congress and the state
legislatures; that direct or indirect
bribery now robs the voter of all
power; that the people suffer from
tyranny worse than that of King
George. This is pretty strong for a
republican governor to assert, but it
is what the democrats have contended
and until selfish mOnopolies and
trusts are curbed there will not be an
honest expression of the popular will
in legislation.
