The house committee ou Judiciary
has agreed upon an amendment to
the constitution eivins congress
power to deflne, regulate, control,
prohibit or dissolve trusts, monopo
lies or combinations, whether In the
form of a corporation or otherwise
Every intelligent person knows that
without some such amendment no
effective blow can be struck at illegal
acd dangerous combinations that re
strain trade or destroy competition,
or ud justly harass or oppress labor.
Unity of action among the several
states is practically impossible, and
without unity the laws of one state
may shield a trust that would op
press all the others and leave them,
under existing laws, powerless of re
dress. Tiik CnifONitXE leaves it to
demagogues and politicians to fret
and fume over trusts and combina
tions of capital. Whatever is legiti
mate in them is as much the out
growth of comniersial development
as the use of tbe power loom and the
sewing machine, and, like them, has
como to stay. Whatever is illegal
and oppressive must be crushed, and
a constitutional amendment is tbe
only way to do it. Indiscriminate
assaults on combinations of capital,
the fashion of the times, are tbe
tricks of demagogues and knaves.
It is worthy of remark in this con
nection that every democratic mem
ber of the judiciary committee voted
against submitting the amendment
to the people.
belter others and be bettered them
selves by it, they ought to have it.
There are none too many instruments
of good in Oregon or anywhere else.
Hight here, however, The Cukmcle
stands iu doubt of its own judgment.
But to show that it means to be fair
and impartial the editor promises to
submit the question to the little
woman that has owned him for these
thirty-six long jears, and if she tells
him she wants the ballot he'll vote
for it, by jimminy, if it bursts a col
lar button.

esteemed contemporary sarcastically

us see. Didn't the Oregon demo
crats have something in their state
platform about sympathy for the
Doers "in their noble and brave
struggle for liberty and national
existence." And did not that, if it
meact anything but pure buncome,
mean that the democrats were willing
to "buy another war" with England
in the hope of catching certain Irish
and German votes? Democratic
sympathy is a mighty cheap com
modity unless the democrats arc
willing to back it up vritu brawn and
muscle.

The evidence accumulates, if more
were needed, that Aguinaldo and
bis followers were alone responsible
for the outbreak of hostilities be
tween the Filipinos and the Ameri
can troops at Manila. The president
last Tuesday sent to the senate a
letter received from General Otis
transmittitting a translation of a
letter written by Aguinaldo to a
friend in Mauila warning him to
leave that city. Aguinaldo's letter
is dated Malolos January 17, 1899,
and is addressed to Senor Bonito
Legardo. In it Aguinaldo says: "I
beg you to leave Manila with your
family and to come here to Malolos,
but not because . I wish to frighten
you. I merely .wish to warn you for
your protection, although it is not
yet the day or week." General Otis
states that this letter is one of
number written by Aguinaldo to bis
ftiends in Manila warning them to
leave the city for their safety, and
adds that many families left the city
in consequence of this warning.
Thus it is again brought home to
this "Filipino George Washington"
that be had Died the day and hour
for an indiscriminate massacre of our
little American army of occupation
as well as every foreign resident of
Manila, and that only a mere acci
dent which he could not foresee pre
vented it. But the Ancient Order
of Anti-Expansion Paranoics will
continue to worship their little
aaffron-hlded deity just tbe same.

It appears the Porto Ricans could
scarcely believe their eyes when they
saw their first civil governor dressed
in a straw hat, blue coat and
duck trousers. They had probably
gathered from our anti-imperialistic i
journals that the viceroy of "His
Imperial Highness, Emperor William
McKinley," would appear . before
them bedecked in gold lace and all
the trappings of royalty. They will
learn later on to rrize that straw
bat and duck trousers as precious
symbols of benevoleut republican
intention and as proofs that no im
perialistic tomfoolery can exist under
the American flag.
O.r esteemed democratic con
temporary is kind enough to assure
the wool growers of Eastern Oregon
that no democratic senator from
Oregon is poing to do anything that
will cripple the wool industry. This
is a very cheap bid for votes for
democratic candidates for the Ore
gon legislature. And it is all the
cheaper coming from the mouthpiece
of a party that has taught, !o these
many years, that free wool means
dear wool and that the only way to
cripple the industry is to protect it.
Kasurn Oregon wool growers will
take good care that no democratic
senator from Oregon will ever get a
chance to do anything to cripple the
wool industry. And the way to do
this is to vote the republican legisla
tive ticket straight.

A recent report of the comptroller
of the currency shows that the Pa
cific coast states of Washington,
Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah nnd
Nevada have increased their bank
deposits during the present repub
lican administration by tbe sum of
174,000,000. The deposits last year
averaged neatly 1100 per capita of
population. In the light of facts
like this, and there are scores of
them, is it not a reasonable presump
tion that tb people of these 6tates
will vote to let well enough alone?
Out of 442 sailing vessels that
left San Francisco last year, no less
than 183 carried cargoes of American
products and manufactures to the
Hawaiian islands. Tbe value of
those cargoes from this one port was
9, 164, 082, and it bad almost doubled
itbin two years. Expansion is a
good policy for Pacific coast trade.
The senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals has authorized a
favorable report on the Nicaragua
canal bill as it passed the house.
Every member of the committee,
including Senator McBridc, voted

Hanna.
The women suffrage movement has
its arausiug features as well as those
that are soberly serious. A short
time ago The Chuonicle received a
marked copy of the New York Sun,
in which a suffragist writer gave
elaborate statistics to prove that the
granting of equal rights to women
had always resulted in a marked in
increase of population, and that if
the Oregonians were to increase and
multiply in any ratio commensurate
wnh the great natural resources 'of
the state the proper thing to do was
to give the Oregon women the ballot,
And right in line with Ibis came
along a short extract from a speech
lately delivered at a women suffrage
meeting in Kansas by Miss Louise
Evelyn Lease daughter of her
mother who said to the men folks
in ber audience: "You men must
give us the ballot. You all have
been used to saying, 'The hand that
rocks the cradle is the hand that
rules the world,' but I say to you,
gentlemen, it you do not keep your
promise there will be no cradle to
rock and no babies to put in them."
This would be really alarming were
we not assured that it must Lave
been spoken in the thoughtless im
petuosity of youth. We may say
this confidently for, as another has
suggested, since the spheres first com
menced to sing together in the
heavens this baby question has been
so wholly disconnected from politics
that the two haven't even a speaking
acquaintance. Do these good sisters
really think that the amiable old
doctor with the basket, or the storks
that roost above the chimney pot, or
tbe stars that shoot from the space
above, or Saint Peter nodding at the
celestial gate can be Influenced by a
slip of names on a ballot with an X
mark to the right of them?

LOOKING AFTER SOLDIERS.
The War Drptrtmral Follow Move
neili of Officers with Great
Accaraer.
A young army officer, who has seen
service on the Arizona plains and on
the Maine coast, and who is now in
Cuba, tells two stories out of his own
experience, to show the accuracy with
which the war department follows the
movements of officers.
"I was with a small scouting party
in Arizona," he says, "and after two
weeks in. the desert my squad came to
the railroad near a small station.
Within ten minutes a dispatch from
Washington was brought to me by
the station agent. It asked if I
wished to be transferred to one of
the two new artillery regiments then
forming.
"I answered by telegraph that I
should be glad to enter either of them.
Then we set off again across the des
ert. "It was six days later when we
again struck the railroad, this time
SO miles from the point at which we
had previously crossed it. But my re
ply from the department was await
ing me. It had been telegraphed to
every station within 20O miles.
"A more striking instance of accu
racy occurred after my transfer to
the east. I was traveling home on
leave, and, as the regulations require,
t had notified the department of the
day, hour and probable route of my
journey. After I had been on the
train for eight hours, at a small sta
tion the porter entered with a tele
gram, asking if anyone of my name
was present. On opening the dis
patch, I found that it was from the
adjutant general's office, ordering me
on detached duty.
"Exactness of detail could not be
carried much farther. The depart
ment knew the whereabouts of an in
significant second lieutenant, even
when he was traveling on leave of absence."

All who ii9e Chamberlain Pain Balm
for rheumatism are delighted with the
quick relief from pain which it affords.
When speaking of this Mr. D. N. Siuks,
of Troy, Ohio, eays: "Some time ago I
bad a seve attack of rheumatism In my
arm and shoulder. I tried numorous
remedies, but got no relief until I was
recotn mended by Messrs. Geo. F. Par
sons & Co., druirtiints of this place, to
try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. They
recommeaned It so highly that I bought
a bottle. wa toon relieved of all pain,
I have since recommended this lini
ment to many of my friends, who agree
with nie that it is the beet remedy for
muscular rhenmntitm in the market."

Tbe old issue- that the republican
party has managed the finances and
created a surplus is about to be re
vived by the democrats, says the consent of the governed, addnd 44. .

learned that the besj. thing to do to
get rid of the surplus is to turn the
democratic mule into the inclosurc.
Republican platforms coming from
the different states show perfect
i
harmony in the party on national
issues. It is foregone, on the con
trary, that the democratic national
platform will be a mosaic, composed
principally of ancient, heterogeneous
junk.
In New York financial circles It is
claimed that gold is cheaper there
than in any other money center in
the world. This is the direct result
of the gold standard nnd republican
prosperity.
