' The delay In releasing th prisoners as promised several days ago Is due to th fact that the Filipino wish to furnish the men with new clothing when they set them free. The Englishmen state further that Lieutenant J. 0. Ollmore and th cap tured b"t's crew from the Yorktown are stilt at Bigan. but will be released later In accordance wlUt the decision of the Filipino congress and the subse quent decree of Aguinaldo providing for the surrender of all American prisoners.

Above the haiy and (ranky notions that have found their way Into th trust conference the well-considered and well-digested observations of Pro fessor John Graham Brooks of Har vard University loom up like clock tower In a fog. Mr. Brooks was asked to answer the juestlon. "Are the new combinations socially dangerous?" Instead of swing ing red lanterns In th air and shriek ing for legislation to suspend th laws of nature. Mr.Brooks accepted the now commonly asknowlcdgcd fact that th tendency toward compact and vast or. ganltatlon Is an Industral evolution which. If properly regulated and safe guarded, "r-nders a social service as tssentlal as the college." The supreme question that confronts us Is therefore that of putlble rcKiilallon. Instead of assailing industrial organ. lr.at!ons for the combining Mr. Brooks pointed out their clumsy and Inade quate character ln production and dis tribution. Great primary Industries, like coal and clothing, "are In a state so chaotic as to affront our lntellll Kence.' The speaker illustrated the clumsiness of organisation by calling attention to the fact that one often sees at a single hotel In a small city Ave drummers competing agnnlst each other In selling the sam product. In stances of equally grotesque crudities In many Industries were noted by th speaker. Reckless and Improvident handling of great Industrial plants Is depriving the public of a good share of the ben 'fits that should acrru from these combinations of productive ener gy and resources. This new force railed th "trust" stsnds for the latest stage of Industrial growth. We cannot approach this sub ject rationally until w understand that th new combinations can In no sense be permanently smashed. Th trusts cannot be stopped. The real problem Is how to guide and regulatt the new force for the public good. If the combinations are to work for the public good Mr. Brooks believes that three things must be brought about: Absolute publicity of methods and ac counts; every artificial advantage giv en by the tariff must be removed, and railroad discriminations shall not be al lowed to these combinations. 1 As an Illustration of th practical working of these three conditions whi'n applied to a trust th speaker cited tl-e furnltur trust In England. With these three conditions fulfilled "the f'irnltiire trust Is not In politics, ask no favors from railroads or tariffs, has checked a mere reckless and ruinous competition and is sharing Its profits with the warklngmen." The publicity of methods and ac counts Is advocated for the purpose of preventing overcapitalisation, which Is the on dominant peril of th trusts. The removal of all artificial advantage given by the tariff on commodities that are in the control of monopolies. Railway discrimination In favor of trusts Is one of the gravest perils, be cause it aggravates and increases the economic inequalities from which we are already suffering. These are rational suggestions for the abatement of the evils of trusts and for the regulation of legitimate com binations that merit the thoughtful consideration of fair-minded men. ' BBVEN" fiOVKUN'OHS AND A FIZ ZI.B. 8t. Louis Jlob-;-DomK.Tat The conference of gcvernor. on trusts In this city proves tu tie a complete failure. It was gnsily partisan from the start and plainly contrived as a democratic trap. In the first place on ly sevn governors were present. The thirty-eight governors who were ab sent have reason to congratulate them selves. This meeting Heems to have been originally planned to mnke democratic capital, but the scheme mlnrarrled and dwindled into Insignificance. What the conference snld or did is of little con sequence. It was deceptive as fur as It pretended to be an Impartial con- slderatlon of anything. On taking the, chair fiovernor Bayres, of Texas, de clared that the present tariff and cur- reney systems are the underlying , causes of trusts. Ills cure for them is free trade and free sliver. How he' reconciled his fulth In his previous state ment that "trusts are not a party' question" Is a mystery too deep for, Foard Ship Chandlers Special Departments Largest Store of the Kind any one who heard blm. If he had add d that the only ivmedy for trusts Is to elect Bryan no one would have bea surprHd. Gov. Stephens distinguished him self by reading an address thai was equally astonishing for Its arguments and Its rhetoric. "Snplent sons of sainted sires." h excUlme.1. "the eye of your country are upon you today. PcIIdw. countrymen, within U short oons ths pmlanses lll I drawn up In battle array. Choose tolay th ban ner under which you will fight." Ths governor's Idea of a pr analysing trusts Is a sloppy democratic stump speech, lie gloried In the fine Inflict ed on Insurince companies "who plead ed cn bended knee to be allowed to pay and remain In the state." But h failed to touch on the St. I.ouU street railway consolidation, which could not have come Into consolidation hut for his signature. That this meeting was an exhibition of a plentiful lack of knowledge Is had enough. But ths worst feature Is the duplU lty In calling a conference of governors snd then preparing to deluge them with demo, cratlc sluvh. But th governor didn't com. The proceedings yesterday, with the exception of Governor Shaw's admirable address, do not deserve any serious notl.-e. SEEING WITH OCR FEELINGS.
