M'KINlK V8 MESSAGE.
A Comprehensive National Document Muney
Trusts and Philippines.
The president's message was read
Tuesday morning the 7th, in the balls o:
oongress. It was listened to be an im
mense gathering of people, who were
anxious to bear what MoKinley had to
say on the important subjects of the
hour. Two boars and a balf were used
ib the reading. The message is one of
the moat comprehensive and carefully
prepared state dooameots that has ever
been given to oongress and; will be im
portant in influencing tbe deliberations
of that body daring its present session
It covers 24 columns of usual newspaper
length. We give a digest of what it
contains on the three most important
sabjeots now at issue in the United
States. These are tbe Philiptioes, tbe
trusts and tbe money question.
I urgeotly recommend that to support
the existing sold standard aud to main
tain the parity in value of, tbe coins of
tbe two metals (gold and silver) and tbe
equal power of every dollar at all times
in the market and in the payment of
debts, the secretary of tbe treasury be
given additional power and charged with
tbe duty to sell United St ttes bands aud
to employ snob other eff --olive means as
may be necessary to these ends.
Tbe authority should include tbe
power to sell bonds on long and short
time, as conditions may require, and
should provide for a rate of interest
lower than that fixed by. tbe aot of Janu
ary 14, 1876. While there is now no
commercial fright which withdraws gold
from tue government, but on tbe ooo
trary such widespread ooufideuoe th it
gold seeks the treasury, demanding
paper money in exchange, yet tbe very
situation points to the present as tbe
most fitting time to make adequate pro
visions to insure the oontiouanoe of the
gold standard and of public confidence
in tbe ability and purpose of tbe govern
ment to meet all its obligations in tbe
money which the civilized world recog
nizes as tbe best. Tbe financial trans
actions of tbe government are cooduoted
upon a gold basis. Happily at tbe pres
ent time we are not compelled to resort
to loans to supply gold. ' It bag been
done in tbe past, however, and may have
to be done in tbe future.
It behooves us therefore to provide at
one a the best means to meet tbe emer
gency when it arises and tbe best means
are those wbioh are tbe most certain and
eoonomioal. Those now authorized have
tbe virtue ' neither of dir'ectuees ' nur
economical. We have already eliminated
one of tbe oauses of our financial plight
and embarrassment during the years
1893, 1894, 1895 and 1896. Our receipts
now equal our expenditures; deficient
revenues no longer create alarm.
htt us remove tbe only remaining
cause by conferring full and neoessary
power oo tbe secretary of the treasury
and impose upon him theduly to uphold
tbe present gold standard and preserve
Ibe ooios of the two metals on a parity
with eaoh other, whiob is tbe repeatedly
deolared policy of tbe United States.
In Ibis oonneotion, I repeat my former
recommendations that a portion of tbe
gold holdings shall be placed in a trust
fund from wbioh greenbacks shall be
redeemed upon presentation, but when
onoe redeemed sbali not thereafter b
paid out, except for gold.
Combinations of capit il organized in
to trusts to control tbe conditions of
trade among our oiVisun, to stifle com
petition, limit production and determine
the prices of produots consumed by tbe
people are provoking public discussion
and should early olaim tbe attention ot
congress.
Tbe subject is one giving ri.e to many
divergent views as to tbe nature aud
variety or cause and extent ot tbe injuries
to tbe poblio wbiob may arise from large
combinations concentrating mors or less
numerous enterprises and establishments
wbiob previous t tbe formation of the
combination were carried oo separately.
It is universally conceded that combi
nations which engross or control tbe
market'of any particular kind ot mer
chandise or commodity neoessary to the
general community by suppressing
oalural and ordinary competition where
by prioes are unduly enhanced to tbe
general consumer, are obnoxious not
only to tbe ooramon law but also to tbe
public welfare. There must be a remedy
for the evils involved In suob organiza
tions. It tbe present law oan be ex
tended more certainly to control or
olieok these monopoly or trusts, it
should be done wituout delay. What
ever power tbe congress possesses over
this most important subject should be
tsoertained aud asserted. An act to
protect trade and commerce against on
lawful restraints and monopolies was
passed by congress July 2, 189a. Presi
dent MoKinley quotes from President
Cleveland's message ot December 1896,
which says:
'Even though it may be found tbat
federal authority is not broad enough to
fully reach tbe case there cm bi oo
doubt of tbe power of tb several states
to aot effectively in their premises and
there should bs no reason to d mbt tbeir
willingness to jidiciously ex'reiss socb,
power."
Continuing President M:Kioly said:
Tbs state legislation to which President
Cleveland looked for relief from tbeevils
ot trusts has failed to accomplish fully
tbat object This is probably d na to a
great extent to tbe fact thai different
flutes Mi 3flVeQt vii m to tb
proper way to discriminate between evil
end injiriou combinations and those
associations wbioh are benefioial and
neoessary to tbe business prosperity of
the oouotry. It is apparent that uoi
fortuity of legislation upon this subject
in the several states is much to be
desired.
On June 30, 1898, there were 30 forest
reservations (exolusive of tbe Afogoak
forest and fish oolture reserve in Alaska)
embracing an estimated area of 40,719,174
aores. Duriug the .past year two of tbe
existing forest reserves, the Trabuoa
oanyon, California, and Black Hills,
South D.ikota and Wyoming, have been
considerably enlarged ; the area of the
Mount B tinier reeerve, in the state of
Washington, baa been somewhat reduoed
and six additioual reserves have been
established, namely, the San Francisco
mountain, Arizona; the Black Mesa,
Arizona; Lake Tahoe, California; Qalla-
tin, Montana; Gila river, New Mexico;
and Fish Lake, Utah, tbe total estimated
area of wbioh is 5.025,772 aores. This
makes at the present time a total ot 36
forestry ' reservations, ' embraoing an
estimated area of 46,021,899 aores. Tbis
estimated area in the aggregated areas
within the boundaries of tbe reuerves.
The lands aotually reserved are, bow-
ever, only the vaoant public lauds therein
and these bava been set aside and re
served for sale or settlemen in order that
tbey may be of tbe greatest use to the
people.
Tbe future government of the Philip
pines rests with tbe congress ot the
United States. Few graver responsi
bilities have ever been confided to us.
If we aooept them in a spirit worthy of
our race and our traditions a great
opportunity cornea with them. The is
lands lie under tbe shelter of our flag.
They are ours by every title ot law and
equity. Tbey oannot be abandoned. If
we desert tbem we leave them at onoe to
aoarohy and flually to barbarism. We
fling tbem a golden apple of diaoord,
among tbe rival powers, no one ot wbiob
could permit another to eeizs tbem un
questioned. Their rich plains and valleys
would be the scene of endless strife aud
bloodshed. Tbe advent of Dewey's fleet
in Manila bay instead of being, as "we
hoped, the dawn of a new day of freedom
and progress, will have before it tbe
beginning of an era ot misery and vio
lence worse than any whiob has dark
ened their unhappy past. Tbe sugges
tion has been made tbat we could re
nounce our authority over the islands
and,
. giving Jhem independence, could
in a proteotorate"verVfim
retain a protectors
proposition will not be found, I am sure,
worthy ot your serious attention. 8 nob
an arrangement would involve at tbe
outset a ornsi breach of faith. It would
plaoe tbe peaceable uud loyi!
majority who ask nothing better than to
aooept our authority, at tbe nieroy of
armed insurgents It would make us
responsible for tbe acts of the Insurgent
leaders at,d give as no power to control
tbem. It would charge us with the task
of protecting tbem against eaoh other
and defending them against any foreign
power with wbioh they ohose to quarrel.
In short.it would take from the congress
of tbe United States tbe power of de
claring war and vest that tremendous
prerogative in the Tagalo leader ot tbe
hour.
It does not seem desirable tbat I
should recommend at this time a specifio
and final form of government for these
islands.
Wben peaoe shall be restored it will be
the duty of o mgreas to construct a plan
ot government whiob shall establish and
maintain freedom and order and peaoe
in tbe Philippines. The insurrection
is still existing and when it terminates
former information will be required as
to tbe actual condition of affiirs before
inaugurating a permanent sobeme ot
oivil government. Tbe full report of tbe
commission now in preparation will con
tain information aud suggestions which
will be of value to congress and wbiob I
will transmit as soon as it is completed.
As long as tbe insurrection continues
tbe military arm must necessarily be
supreme. But there is no reason why
steps should not be taken from time to
time to inaugurate governments essen
tially popular in tbeir form as fast as
territory is held or controlled by our
troops.
AT THE LAND OFFICE.
A Notable Increase of Bnslness During; the
Past Year,
Tbe La Grande Chroniole says: Tbe
business ot tbs Uoited States land oOios
at La GranJe has praotioally doubled
during tbe past year and is rapidly on
tbe inorease. Tbe homestead entries
last year averaged about 30 to tbe
month, while tbis year tbey have run
about 50 and for tbe present month up
to date 90 entries have been made. Reg
inter Bartletl says tbe receipts of other
entries have b;en proportionate. Take
tbe last two years and tbe receipts show
immense increases over previous years.
From Joly 189S to Jaly WHO tbe pro
ceeds ot Ibe office were over $40,000,
wbile the proceeds of tbe previous year
were 21,000. From an exhaustive re
sume ot tbe office, made by Mr. Barllett,
it is shown that tberf are yet in Union
county 138.274 aores ot land open for
settlement, ot -wbiob 13,827 acres is

A HOKK1BLE DEATH.
Murderer Burned at the Stake by Infuriated
Citizens.
By the Associated Press.
Maysville. Ky., Deo. 6 Diok Cole
man, the negro murderer, was taken
from the officers by a mob ot 1000 men
today and burned at the stake. The
mob was led by tbe husband of tbe
negro's victim, who dragged the shriek
ing oriminal through tbe prinoipal
streets of the town, bound him to a
small tree and then set fire to the brush
heaped about him and stood guard outil
be was dead.
Tbe crime for wbiob Coleman was
burned was tbe murder of Mrs. Jamer
Lasbbrook, who bad given him a home
and food.
Coleman arrived at Maysville from
Covington this morning under a epeoial
guard to be put oo trial. When they
arrived at the oourt bouse tbey were met
by a mob of fully 1000 people, beaded by
James Lsshbrook, tbe husband ot tbe
murdered woman, and went immediately
up Seoocd street through tbe oentral
portion of the oity to a hill followed by
a mob of fully 5000 persons.
Tbe mob grabbed Coleman and threw
a rope over bis head and took him above
the oity. Coleman could be beard above
the cries of tbe mob pleading for his life.
The place ot exeoution had been se
lected weeks ago in aooordanoe with all
other arranged details of tbe program
mapped out by leaders of the mob.
The prisoner was dragged toasappling
and strapped against the tree faoing the
husband ot the victim. Large quantities
of dry brush and large bits of wood were
piled around him wbile be was praying
for speedy death.
James Lasbbrook, husband of tbe
victim, applied the first match to the
brushwood. A brother of tbe victim
struok the second match. Some one
with a knife was viciously slashing at
the prisoner's ohest.
As the flnmes arose bis horrors in
creased. He made vain efforts to witb-
iraw his limbs from tbe enoroaching
fire, his eyes rolled in a frenzy of suffer
ing, the ropes securing him to the tree
were burned and his body finally tell
forward on tbe burning pile.
Even then, although it was not certain
whether be was living or dead, tbe
vengeful purpose of tbe orowd led them
to use rails and long polls to push tbe
body back into tbe flames.
At tbe end of three hours the body was
praotioally oremated.-During all that
time members uif ; lbs. family ..of Mrs.
Lasbbrook had remained to keep up tbe
fire and to keep the body in a position
where it would oontioue to burn. -
In all tbe thousands who constituted
the mob there was not a single effort to
disguise or conceal identity. No man
wore a mask. All the leaders ot tbe mob
are well known. Tbey ioolade leading
citizens in all lines of business and many
are members ot tbe oburoh.
Tbe statement from Frankfort tbat tbe
governor proposes to offdr a reward for
the apprehension of the members ot tbe
mob does not excite muoh fear tbat tbe
reward will be claimed.
Relic banters took away tbe teeth and
bones and flesh and every fragment of
the body that they oould lay hands on.
All afternooo obildren.some of tbem not
mors than six years old, kept up tbs
fires oa the blackened body by
throwing on grass, kindling wood and
everything combustible tbat tbey oould
gather.

AGCINALDO'S LAST CARD.
Trying to Use American Prisoners
as a
Means of Securing Recognition.
Nfw York, Deo. 11 A speoial to the
Hearld from Washington says: Consid
erable concern has been felt in offioial
oircles tor some time respecting the fat
of American prisoners still held by tbe
Filipino insurgents. Tbis is due to an
intimation made by Aguioaldo in a note
to General Otis, delivered a month ago,
tbat grave injury might befall tbe pris
oners if recognition of the so-called
Filipino republic by the tJnlted States
were longer delayed. It was in answer
to this threat tbat the president sent a
message to General Otis for transmis
sion to AoninnlHn. unnnnnnino that, it
the prisoners were maltreated In any
manner be and his subordinates would
be beld personally responsible.
At that time Aguinaldo was believed
to be within tbe cordon established by
the Amerioan troops reaohing from San
t'abiao to San Isidor. While it cannot
be learned that Aguinnldo reoeived tbe
communication, General Otis undoubt
elly suooeeeded in apprising bim of its
contents, and, knowing tbe result ot
wanton injury either to tbe Amerioan
or Spanish prisoners, it is hoped here
that Aguioaldo will see that tbey are
protected from barm.
Aguinaldo's effort to secure recogni
tion by threatening injury to tbe prison
ers is considered by tbe officials as the
last oard to be played by tbe insurgent
leader. It has been notioed that, al
though tbe Insurgents have permitted
many Spanish prisoners to escape, they
have oarefully held tbe American pris
oners. Tbis leads the offioials to believe
tbat Aguinaldo hopes, if finally captured,
to make terms advantageous to himself,
Tbis would be impossible if the prison
ers were found to have suffered any
barm.
SWALLOWED BY THE LAKE.
A Huge Slice of Kelso, British Columbia,
Vanishes Like Single.
Spokane Chronicle,
Ealso is in a whirl of worry and anmze
ment town lots vanishing like magic
big wharf engulfed wbile one oould rub
his eye twenty fathoms of water surg
ing over the spot wbere men stood on
dry land net an hour ago
That is the startling story whiob last
evening's train brought to Spokane.
"The two wharves were being built
side by side, that of the Canadian Pacific
having abofit 100 feet ot work done upon
it, while tbe Keiso & Slooan Company'!
was all but oompleted, the last pile
being driven when tbe collapse occurred.
James McDonald, of Nelson, the con
tractor, who was at the extreme end of
tbe wharf, wben, looking shoreward, be
was amazed to see tbe whole oonetruo
tion quietly and gently slide down into
tbe lake. A moment afterward all the
workmen on tha eiiflce commenced to
scurry shoreward, and tbe wharf gave
another worming movement. Tbe con
tractor rubbed bis eyes and tried to
grasp tbe situation, and it gradually
dawned upon him tbat tbe wharf wasn't
resting oo a solid foundation, A yell of
warning from those on shore reached
bim and with a bound tbat would win
him tbe championship on any athletic
arena be started on a rush tor terra
firms, and Jim got there, but only jusl
io lime, as a moment after be landed the
whole structure slid into tbe lake. Gaz
ing at tbe eddying waters, over wbioh
moment before had stretohed tbe result
of many days of good, hard, high-priced
labor, Jim could only ejaculate: 'Well,
I'll be blanked.'
"Mr. Christie states that as far as he
oould learn the shoreward bed ot tbe
lake was resting upon a slanting shelf of
rook, aud that the piles of Ibe two
wharves being driven into this bed, and
combining with the action ot Ibe water,
bad loosened it, with the consequence
tbat, with scarcely any warning, a slide
aoourred and both edifices were as if
tbey bad never been."

Every farmer should test bis grain be
fore sowing, either in fall or spring, to
ascertain tbe amount that will germinate
under ordinary conditions; he could tell
preoisely then the amount requisite per
sere. No elaborate requirements are
neoessary and but little time and skill.
Procure four or six soft burned bricks,
and In eaoh dig out six boles about an
inob in diameter and half an bioh deep;
tbe boles will be easily out it tbe brick
be allowed to stand io water an hour or
two. Now count out twenty grams
ot wheat, and place tbem In the
boles, ooveriog with another brick or
piece ot wood to exclude light. Plaoe
tbe bricks io water about an inch deep,
bul not deep euougb to ootne to the top,
and allow to stand in a fairly warm
place for about 24 bonrs. Then count
tbe number germinated and determine
tbe per cent and from the result calcu
late the amount necessary per aore.
