Tho PhilIpplne NIahtmnrs.

The follies of government are like
the follies of our youth-they come
back to haunt us, sleeping and waking,
while the more serious ones detrlment-
ally affect our whole lives and go with
US to the graveyard mold.
One Of the greatest of Uncle Sam's
follies was the requirement of the
Philippine archipelago. AS Il hideous
reminder of the tremendous cost In
lives and gold comes another tale OF as
sassination mt Jolo. The other day Gov
ernor Scott's secretary was knlfed to
death within range of the sentres-sen
tries mind you, night and day, and life
unsafe within range Of their rifles. The
night before this killing, while the
young officers were having dance,
bullets came IN through the windows.
And this we are paying for at heavy
rate, many millions each year, to say
nothing OF the thousands OF young
Americans taken from their homes and
from the business and professional
walks OF life to be made into food for
the boloman's knife or to be sent home
as permanent invalids.
A nation, like an individual, can as
surely bleed to death through Its ex-
treme arteries as II the heart itself
were opened. England has suffered al
most to dissolution In South Africa.

Tho Decrease In Exports.

Referring to the big decrease In our
exports of grain and foodstuffs the
Portland Oregonian suggests that at
may speak well of the prosperity Of a
country that can suffer such a slump
In business with foreign countries with
out showing visible signs Of distress,
but at the same time 1t Is not pleasing
TO reflect on the fact that, like the bear
which goes into winter quarters, we
are living on our fat and at the end
Of this enforced period of Information
may emerge lean and wabbly on our
legs. Dollar wheat Is n great blessing
when we can sell 1t to the foreigner and
spend the dollar, but when we become
the consumer that must pay the dollar
and the money of the foreigner ceases
to flow in our direction, there is a
strain in our economic system that Is
not pleasant or profitable. About the
only consolation that can be drawn
from this unfavorable statistical show
Ing lies In the fact that the Pacific
coast makes a better comparative
showing than any of the Atlantic or
gulf ports, and of the Pacific ports
Portland exhibits smaller decline
than any of her nelghbors."

Waking Up.

The power of great corporations, syn
dicates and trusts, frequently welded
against the best interests of the public,
IL beginning to wake up even the most
hidebound Republicans. The st, Louis
Globe-Democrat has been for, many
years thick and thin organ of Repub-
licanlsm, and no man or paner can be
defender of Republicanlsm without
being a defender Of corporations, trusts
and syndicates. 1t seems that the GID.
has been pinched somewhere by big
corporation growing too rapidly In Its
own particular balliwick. AS remedy
the CD. seems to be thinking of
adopting the Populistic plan of public
ownership, as is shown by the follow.
Ing editorial:
1t Is fitting that the people of st. Louis
should keep themselves thoroughly In
formed concerning the increasing concen-
tration here OF immense public interests
In the hands OF single corporation.
Whether this movement Is to the advan-
tage or detriment OF the city viii not be
considered here. The present object IL to
let the people know what is going on. A
corporation organized fifteen years ago
under the laws OF New Jersey, known as
the North American company and sue
cccding to what was called the Oregon
and Transcontinental company, has OBJ
tained control of the entire lighting plant
of st. Louis and also of the consolidated
street railway system, which includes all
except the Suburban line. The North
American company. which has acquired
by purchase such extensive rights In st.
Louis. controls the Milwaukee Electric
Railway and Light company, the Edison
Lighting company in Detroit and also has
large interests of a similar kind In Gin
i!nnal and its neighboring cities on the
Kentucky side. Covington and Newport.
That the North American company Is
what may be called hugo business COM
blnation Is apparent
II is understood that by a cash invest
ment of about $17,5OO,OO0 the North Amer
lean company has secured the control of
the entire business OF furnishing St. Louis
with gas and electric lighting aud the
property of the transit company. The
method pursued In each case was to pur-
chase a majority Of the stock of the va
rlous companies absorbed The North
American company has practically come
into possession here OF the common stock
of the Laolcde Gas company, amounting
to $S.tOO000. The Laclede company also had
out $500 900 In preferred stock and $4,000 :
900 OF bonds OF the 20,0OO0OO authorized
Included in the purchase is the $3GO0.O00 OF
the stock of the Union Electric Light and
Power company, which issued N.00000o OF

torial is n long quotation to make in
these letters, but it Is such an amaz-
ing document, coming from the source

Not satisfied with that intimation Of
public ownership, the GlObe-Democrat
returns to the subject in n subsequent
editorial, OF which the following is the
concluding paragraph:
1t would be interesting to know how
much II would cost a city bent on mu-
nicipal ownership to get control of its
gas and electric lighting and street rail-
way system. It would be exceedingly
cheap at sl75000O provided the MANAGE
ment was satisfactory. city could
easily refund the outstanding bonds at a
low rate of interest. Chicago ought to
look over these figures before closing any
bargain for buying street railways. with
gas and electric lighting thrown in. POSI-
tive facts are valuable. Here are some
OF mathematical kind and as recent as
any to be obtained. IL St. Louis ever goes

Alliance of Farm and Factory.

Recently the Pennsylvania State Fed
Grafton of Labor held meeting at
Williamsport. w. +. Hill, smaster Of
the state grange, was presenta as a fra
ternal delegate, and resolutions were
adopted looking to the complete per-
fection of an alliance between the
above named organizations. The reso-
lutions pledge the members to vote
only for candidates for office who will
agree to vote for the establishment Of
the advisory initiative and an advisory
referendum in national affairs. These
two organizations will have an uphill
fight against the Republican machine
In Pennsylvania. While the movement
Is nonpartisan, its success in that state
could mean but one thing-the same
thing that happened to the Republican
party in Kansas when the Populist
wave struck 1t some years ago.

Delegates to the County Conven-
tion were also elected. This will
be held to. morrow morning, and it
will choose delegates to the State
Convention. In no ward or town
ship was there contest either for
delegates or for Committeeman.
Despite this fact quite heavy
vote was cast. The election en-
phasized the fact that the Demo-
cratic factions in the Capital City
have got together. The delega-
tion to be chosen will out of cour-
tesy support Colonel James Kill
bourne on the first ballot in the
State Convention unless the gem
tleman should put his veto upon
it. After that it is believed that
either John C. Welty, of Canton,
or Lawrence T. Neal, of Chilli
cothe, will receive the majority
portion Of it's support.

are right in it, for Mt the close Of
business OH Saturday, April %, the to-
tai deficiency in the revenues for the
nine months and twenty-five days Of
the present fiscal year was $50, 11S, ,434,
with a prospect that 1t will reach $780,
100000 by June 80, the end of the fis-
cal year! If huge deficiency Is not
proof positive of Prosperity with a big,
big L, what becomes of that monstrous
lie in the last Republican national plat
form which ran in this wise: "a Demo-
cratic tariff has always been followed
by business adversely, Republican
tariff by business prosperity" OF
course the facts of history prove that
that statement is utterly false, but nev-
crtheless it helped them win u phe-
nomenal victory. During the entire
campaign they bitterly denied that
there would be deficiency ut the end
of the fiscal year Now, having won by
false pretenses, they no longer pretend
to deny the deficiency and are looking
around for some way out. But has not
the blessed Dlngley bill-source of ev-
cry blesslng-bcen on the statute books
for about eight years? How can this
deficiency be charged up to us poor
Democrats? The stand patters will
have to exercise their ingenuity to
make plausible case. 1t will not do
to say that the threats we made In our
platform and during the campaign did
1t, for the deficiency was here and was
growing before we made the platform
or began the campaign. No, this is
Republican deficiency, forerunner Of
another Republican panic just like the
Republican panics Of 1873 and 1898.
This deficiency must be remedied, for,
according to even Republican figuring,
now that the campaign Is over at the
present rate there will be an increas-
ing deficiency during President Roese-
velt's entire four years in the White
House. But how can it be remedled?
There are only three ways known
among men: First, to reduce expendi-
lures; second, to levy new taxes; third,
TO issue new bonds. Republicans can
not reduce expenditures. After what
they have said about Grover Cleveland
they will not dare to issue new bonds;
hence they must levy new rates and
get sound beating at the polls for 80
doing.
