Edward Atkinson's Offense
It appears thut the Cnhinct at
VVHHiiifiBtoii has resolved to treat
Ivl ward A'kinson with ("intnnpt,
while treating- his piiinphleta against
tho anncxiitiofi of the Philippines
as trcHMirmhli) and seditions viola
tions of the law. There is no pn-s-tion
of the wisdom of tbn first clause
of this policy, th'iiit;li (hero were a
few d njii some indications of a
purpose to proceed against Alkinton
personally on a chiirirn of diHeonr
ainif cnliHtments. Wiser coiitisels,
it sppears, havti prcvcnteii the per
pctration of this blunder. As for
tho Fiipprt Hsinn of a half d m-n of
his pamphlets in the mails, that hc!
has had tho i lf ct of crentm an im
fpctiso iletnand for a kind of litera
(uro which otherwise would never
lu vo been read, while the author
woiild not have ho suddenly been
iniido famous.
Put what 1 1 : i b this Postnii man
done to call down iimn his head tho
vciiKt-ance of (lie (toverniueiit f J I a
ii a r.ealeiii opponent of the admin
istrativo policy in tho Philippines;
ami whether thai policy tie uood or
bd, wise or otherwise, ho has lie
ri;lit of anim nlveriiuy upon it which
belongs to every American citizen.
In tho course of his opposition to
this policy ho published some pam
phlets which, tin im it ii ti of Senators
Catrery of Louisiana and Jones of
Arkansas, were ordered to be print
ed as Senate di-euments in the clos
inK sesaioii of tlie Kifty-liflh ("on
urcss. Thus the ( iovt rnmenl .it in
the position uf preventin); the ciicil
latliui of its own documents in the
mails. It impiite ploleible that the
Senators on whose motion the din
trilsi-s ot Kdwitrd Atkinson weio
printed never read tin m, and it is
jutt as probaMii that they would
liave been rend by fewothtir people
had not this governmental interfcr
cnee excited h ilcmand for them.
As for the contents of these docu
ments, they are no more reprehen
sible than were the s-eches of the
Ucpnhliean Senator Mason of Illi
nois, of the Republican Ucprcscnta
five Johnson of Indiana and others
on tho 11-Kir of Congress-. Thev arc
said to lie largely made lip of ab
stracts from Congressional speeches ;
heneo the pr t-eedinj; t- prevent
their distribution in the mails is ra
ther late, w hatever i lso may la-s.iid
about it. If people" have not )onj;
since read much that was in Mr.
Atkinson's p:imphleta it wsa not for
w ant of the opportunity afforded by
tho Congr ssional Kecord.
Put tho question is not whether
the opposition of Kdward Atkinson
to the administrative policy m the
Philippines be wise or foolish, or
whether he ha& jliown much or lit
tle ?;u-t in addressing his pamphlets
to military and civil ollicers at Ma
ni la. Tho paramount ijuebtion is
whether this (iovernment shall in
fringe on t lie constitutional guaran
tiee of free speech by making casts
of constructive treason in accordance
with the worst examples of tyranny.
A thorough support vl the admin
istrative policy in tho Philippines
and in Cuba is entirely consistent
with the demand of the citizen for
lull lila-rty to criticise in speech aid
print the conduct of public, affairs.
This ie tho very essence of American
lilierty, and it is more priceless than
all the arcliielagoeg of the seas. We
have not como to the pass in this
country when it is treason to oppose
a traneient policy of administration.
kdward Atkinson will not be prose
cuted for treason, for that would lie
ft blunder; but bis pamphlets have
been stopped in the mails on an al
k'trntion which is an infringement
of the light of free speech.
Tin re is no need of contending
over the want of propriety in the
advice of Mr. Atkinson and others
to our volunteers in the Philippines.
Tho volunteers are entitled to their
discharge, and it waa no violation
of law by any citizen to advise them
of their right, though in thiscae it
was nnneewnsary as well as inoppor
tune, ror the rest, the tiest cause
can be made unpopular and odious
by n excess of olhcial zeal in main
taming it. Of this kind of zeal
there can be no worse manifestation
than in the attempts to suppress op
position by attacks upon the tree
exercise of individual opinion. In
tins way ft sound iKIiry is often in
jured more by its ovetze-alous cha'n-
pious than by i s most relentless
enemies. Philadelphia Uec rd.

Out on the Iaramie plains, there
is a grim mounmeut to the ttrrois
of tlie past rigorous winter. Do-
twecn the two Ltrarnie rivers there
stands a horse which was froze to
death during one of tho very severe
storms of the past season. The
animal was frozen while standing,
the snow having drifted in about
him and held the carcass e ect. The
snow has since melted away and the
horse ie till standing, bis four teet be

Sigt.tre of
How Trusts Affect Prices.
Ono of tho great fallacies rl the
eager friends of tho grasping and
tyrannical trusts is that thi so i.ioii
sters in iniquity and oppression
mako prices lower. I hey point to
otio trust only to make good their
contention io tho Standard Oil
Company. Thev fail however to
state, which candor and fairness cer
tainly require, that this company
has monopolized not because there
was no opposition to bo ottered, but
tMt-anso tho opposition was mado in
effective la-eauso of the threat dis
crimination in rates against it and in
tavor of tho trust. That is true, and
it was so great as to positively ire-
vent coiii-etition on tho part of sev
eral companies.
Put do the trusts renlly favor the
people by reducing prices and main
taining tho average finality of
goods J (lovernoi Voorhei-s, of New
Jersey, defends tho action of his
State in fostering so many monsters
on tho ncoro of ''economy in produc
tion" in making prices lower to
tho buyers. That it is a deceptive,
base plea is probably true. Tho
governor pointed to two examples
and said "the low prices at which
oil and sugar sell arc pretty good
evidence tint tho public does not
HiilTer from these gigantic combina
tions," This mutter is of eo much
importance to a long-sulToiing and
outraged public that wo yield much
space to show that tho plea s-t up
by tho grabla-rs and stllicters is
specious and iintrun in the light of
facts.
The New Yolk World has ren
dered good service and supplied
much needed information in this
particular. It gives many examples
and tacts as to the operations of but
ono mouth, April, we think it is. It
says :
"Sitieo the organization of the
American Steel and Wire Nail Coin
pany tiiere has la-en an increase of
Ion jut cent, in prices. With the
latest advance of 1.1 cents, small lots
now cost $'2..".ii a keg, or f 1 a ton.
In addition to this, thousands uf
woikmeii in shut down plants have
been thrown out ol employment.
At the meeting of tho Missouri
Petail Hardware and Stove Deal
ers' Association in St. Imis it whs
decided that 'there is no altei native
for retailers but to advance their
prices for stoves,' as the manufac
turers' combination has advanced
prices 0 per cent, since March T.
At a meeting of the Gas and Ya
tn r Stove Manufacturers at Cleve
land on April fith the prices were
advanced from 15 to ."0 per cent.
Galvanized eaves-troughs, water
pails, fire pails, etc., were advanced
l'i cents at the same time.
At an opening of bids in Chicago
for cast iron ies the I'nited States
Company of Cleveland, which con
trols 10 per cent, of the output, ti.xed
the price at an increase of a Jon
over last year's contract an ad
vance of more than .10 per cent.
At (ho same time a brick trust in
Chicago raised the price on .VUlou,-
(MM.) brick required in city work this
year from $4.7.1 t( $,! and f (! .10
per l.ooo.
Iron castings were raised five-
eighths of a cent a pound on April
1 throughout New Kntfland.
The American Window Glass
Company, controlling the supply of
the Last and the Central West, has
withdrawn its schedule 'preparato
ry to a genera! increase of prices on
ali i'g goods.' Preparatory to this
the company shut down a large por
tion of its works at Pittsburg for the
purpose of creating an artiti -ial
tcarcity on which to base its rise in
pi ices.
Tin plate has been so much ad
vanced in price that importations
were threatened, and the trust keeps
the price just at the oint to pre
vent foreign competition."
'These ar) but t-ati pit s. They
indicate what the trusts are organ
ized for. Monopoly can always le
trusted to make the price tho
market will bear."' Wilmington
Messenger.

The Oregon's Great Trip.
Captain Ch'irlos K. ('lark, f iriiKi ly
of tlie battleship Orcg'-n, who ar
rived hero bis- evening, snys a J'os
ton correspondent of the Now York
Commercial Advertiser, said, in an
interview, that he is still suffering
from the strain of tho long, anxious
voyago around Capo Horn a year
ago, mid that he cannot sleep much.
He added :
"I did not averag.i two hours
sleep in cich twenty-four hours
during tho voya! o. Wo strained
every nerve until wo got to tho
Straits of Magullan. Then I had to
keep constant lookout for the Span
Mi gunboat Tomerario. The chan
nel through tho Magellan is narrow
and tortuous, and I was afiaid that
tho Teiiierario might make a dash
at us at any moment fioin behind
some headland. Mir rapid-lire guns
wero loaded and ready, At Uio wo
found tho Teiiierario, and I learned
that war had been declared, i sent
word to the captain of the Teinerario
that if hn came within a mile of tho
Oreiron I would open firn on him
without further riot i to From Pio
there was uncertainty at every r.tep.
If we had met Cot vera on our way
up, my plans were to run away and
let tho Spaniards chae me. That
would have compelled them to get
into some sort of column formation,
and 1 would only have to tight tho
nearest vcmsoI, If able to inllict
sutlicieiit daniHgu in that wav, I
should have put about and given
them battle. I was advised by the
department to remain at ltahia, but
was given carte blanche, s.) I du-
fided to go on. Tho responsibility
was fearful, and men stood or slept
by their guns day and iiiht. Pur
hadotij was reached March IS.
There I learned that Cervera's ll .et
was at Martini'juc, just north, eo to
'fool' him I beaded northwest, a fact
I felt would bo communicated to
Cervt ra In the darkness I changed
my course to duo south and ran lie-
ovv liarbadoes, thenco east and
north again, passing far east of Mar
tinique."
Captain Clark says that Let ver
knew that ho was doomed when ho
left Santiago harbor.
"Had be renuinid there tluee
weeks longer our soldiers would
have been in sad plight, and there
was a chance of a tropical storm
scattering our ships. Sautiago could
not then have been taken without
consider able bloodshed."
What North Carolina Needs.
North Carolina ought to produce
corn and liojjs enough to satii-ty
home consumption. If the farmers
of tho State will meet consumption
in these two respects, no one will
olsject to their cotton acreage, no
matter how large it may be. A
State that is full of corn, side meat,
S 4. t - 1
eggs, cows and liens is a Mate mat
can allord to ignore the current talk
as to a great cotton acreage. Put
the trouble is North Carolina is not
full of these needful articbs. We
need more acres in corn more
hogi-, more ,cattlo and particularly
more hens. In some States the little
brown hen is the most important
i .. . .-i
and lucrative ereauire conraineu
therein. It has been the salvation,
it is claimed, of Kan-as, as the cow
has lieen ot Iowa. Goldsboro (N.

Cows Now Use Spectacles.
For more than six months of the
year the Ku-fian steppes are covered
with snow. Cows sutieist on the tutts
of grass which crop above the snow,
and the rays of the sun on tlie snow
are s dazzling as to cause blindness.
To obviate this calamity, it occurred
to a kind-hearted man to proect the
cows' eves in the same way as thoe
of human beings, and he manufac
tured smoke-colored spectacles
which could lie safely worn by cat
tle. These spcctM-lcs weto a great
success, and aro now worn by up
wards of forty thousand head ed
cattle, who no longer sutler from
the snow -blindness which once Ctiia
ed untold suffering among them.

hemmed in by mountain ranges
which in places rise to the height of
vim mi loot. Ihe northwestern corner
of tho valley opens on the shallow
Gulf of Lingayen, whereon is situ
.atftd Dagupan, termius of tho road.
On the southern end this ideal
valley region is bounded by Manila
Pay, the Pasig Iiiverand Lake Hal,
tho most important lake in these
islands. In this valley region and
tho bordering mountain region is
included all of tho s x provinces
wherein was begun the Spanish
subjugation of these islands apd to
day they are tho most important
part of Luzon. I heso are Manila,
I'ulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Neuva
Ecya and Pangasinan, all of which
are traversed by the manila and
Oagupan Koad.
Tha scenery along tho JinV of this
railroad is most picturcujue. For
fifteen miles.ont of Manila tho land
rises in irregular, long, sloping hills,
scaicely half a hundred feet in
hciirht. On one hand is a succession
W't rico fields, and on tho other tlie
hillsides are terraced with queer
native bamboo huts. At Calooean
aro seen tho first real signs of civil
ization. Twenty-five miles from
Manila is Malolos, the capital of the
so-called Filipino republic. Like
many other native towns, it is
stretched out for a considerable dis
tance amoiing tho bamboos and
ponds. Petweon Malolos and Ca
luinpit, a distance of nine miles,
there are twelve luidges across
streams of sullicient vol nine to be
called rivers. Ten miles from Ca
Iumpit is. San Fernando, and ere wo
reach this place we have left behind
tho bordering hills of Manila Pay.
Twenty miles beyond San Fernando
wo pass through a cut about three
hundred yards long and thirty feet
deep, the only ono of any conse
quent on the road, and here at
Pamban we have reached the moun
tains. Peyond Pamban the land
scape changes, and cocoanut groves
begin to supplant tho bamboo flats.
Tarlacis is oneot the mot important
towns on the road. It ;s located in
the province of Tarlae.
The remaining forty-live miles of
tho road to Ilagnpan rnns through
flat land, well drained, and thero is
a succession of rice fields, cane fields
and cocoanut groves. The only
important town on 'his part of the
road is Payambant, the Kiver
Agno. The Kiiiflii-li . oi of Smith,
Pell -k Co. have a large rice mill
there, and at Calastas, the next
station to Dagupan, are made the
finest of the Manila lints. Such are
the scenes along the only railroad
line in the Philippines, and in spite
of its insignificance this road has
done much toward improving the,
country through which it passes.
Ere long American energy and
capital will begin the grand work
of development so long delayed
through Spanish misrule, and the.
toot of the American locomotive
echoing through the bamboo awaken
these oppressed islands from their
long sleep. Scientific American

"Supposing they (the American

did not have to make snip out of
their boots. Pursuing tha Algerian
method of reasoning one might ask :

Russia's Treatment ct the Finns.
lU-presontatives of the oOOioo
Finns in the I'liited States have
organized a national committee for
the purpose ot arousing and crystal
izing public opinion In this country
against the campaign of oppression
and denationalization of the Finnish
people of Kussia. Tho recent de
cree of tho Cztr hn annulled the
ancient Constitution of Finland and
crushed tho unfortunate nation tin
der a system of serfdom as galling
and pitiless as that which followed
tho dismemberment of Poland. It is
hoped by tho Finns in the I'nited
States that our (iovernment, sus
tained by public opinion, will make
representations to the Czar in favor
of a modification of his decree.
Meanwhile thousands of Finns arc
preparing to immigrate to this coun
try to escape tho Russian lionihtge;
and as they arc a sturdy, thrifty and
intelligent race, their advent here
will nut meet with the opptsition
frequently directed against less do
sirhle immigrants.
