BOKffMtlOlU Of CfSBtlM Of fIMtllltl0S Waaknass la the Babel Ranks lot preaaad by American Klndoess, Maxii,a, March SI. It U reported on hitherto reliable authority that Agulnaldo is taking extreme measures to uppre 1frnM calculated to cause a cessation of hostilities. Twelve ad herent of the cause of independence, residents of Manila, have been con demned to death because they were advising iurrendor. All loyal Fili pinos have been called upon to perform "the national service" of assassinating them. Last Friday General Lagarda visited Malolos to advise Agulnaldo to quit. He argued with the Insurgent leader and attempted to convince hlui of the folly of his persistence in the face of overwhelming odds, Aguiualdo was furious at the advice and ordered Gen eral Lngorda to be killed Immediately, The general was promptly beheaded. Many prisoners represent that the Filipino soldiers are weakening, The generous treatment .that the Ameri cans administer to the native prison ers and wounded seems to influence the Insurgent army powerfully. In the opinion of the Americans, how ever, the Filipino leaders will con tinue to provoke fighting jutt as long as they can retain their hold upon their followers, because they have everything to gain and nothing to lose, ' The enemy has twice as many men on their firing lines as they have arms, and the fact that so few arms are cap tured by the American is because the guns of the wounded Filipinos and many of those who surrender, are spirited away, DARK NEWS FROM HONG KONG Hum Offlelsl In Maulle Think 10,000 IiBliirornemnnU Are Neoilail IIoho Kotffl, March 21 A corre spondent of the Associated Press at Manila says: "An army has seldom operated under harder conditions than have been encountered by the Ameri can 'dying brigade. The country the American troops have traversed Is In tersected with lagoons, narrow and unfordable rivers and bamboos so thick that the enemy can not be seen 100 feet distant. During the charges the Americans were ignorant as to whether they were attacking 100 or 1,000 rebels. .The Filipinos were un expectedly fierco at Cain to. Had it not been tot the fact that the Ameri can line wu thin, the enfilading fire would bare slaughtered many of our men. "One of the prisoners captured by the Americans says tho Filipino lead ers boast that they can continue such a war for years, depending upon the American forces being weakened daily by twenty men killed, wounded or In valided. "Borne of the high officials here think that 10,000 reinforcements aro needed, as the troops now on this Isl and are hardly more than required to maintain a line arouud Mauila and police the city. "Considerable rain has fallen al ready and it seems that the season for rains is beginning prematurely, It is possible that when the steady rains Wijln rnr trnoji will hvj to "be with drawn to permanent barracks, which may enable tho rebels to return to their old positions. "The Americans have refralnod from destroying the buildings in the country swept by Oeneral Wheaton. Sentries have been stationed at every store in I'aslg, but the soldiers are bringing In loads of loot from dwell ing houses." TO HALVE EXPRESS RATES.

It t tk sJtS44l4 kr (kst tk rl ECONOMIC DISCUSSION, From tbe namerou letters received since this economic discussion was be gan in the Independent, we are led to be lieve that it has proved very interesting to many thousands of readers. The fol lowing letter is in the right tone nod is as far from tho '.kind of socialism that the editor of the Independent opposes as the poles are apart. The writer soy that, populism arid socialism have , many things in common. Both populists and republicans believe In a republican form of government, but that In no reason why; populists should give aid and comfort to the republican party. Employment for nil at eight hours day would bring no relief if tl control of money wns left In the hands of the Rothschild syndicate, Tbey could Just a easily mare slaves of us then a now, Populism is represented by It na tional platform,' and not by what Indi vidual populists may believe. Socialism Is represented by the platform of the sociul labor party and not by what in dividual believe, It Is the socialism of that platform that the Independent fights. The public ownership of railroad, tel egraph, etc., Is not socialism; nor I tbe public ownership of anything else where the workers are hired end paid a stipu lated salary which becomes' their own private property. The trouble in this country at the present time Is the concentration of nil wealth in few bauds. That wealt h can be equitably distributed by eontrollug the volume of money, The Independent does not think that It waste auy ammuuitiou when it points out the iff or t to orguulxe ft purty, called tho social labor purty, In every state of the union, the obj ct of which Is lo draw vot from tbe populist party and thus help plutocracy to rule file country, The ttiient of the social labor party are not populism. What individuals, who may cull theniselvr socialists, may believe is altogether anolLr mutter. Editor Independent: I have followed with Interest the dis cussion in your paper upon thissuliject end will av that I don't Agree with yon or Mr, Wilbur F. Bryant. Wo And when study social prob lem that our social body Is diseased and a remedy Is needed to effect a cure. What kind of medicine we shall use we can't agree upon, la years gone by the proper remedy was supposed to be tariff, llut farmers and leboiers through dis cussions In their organisation soon ar rived at the conclusion that other rem edies were riimiary. The remedies agreed upon by populist are too well knowa to be repeated here, The differ ence between populism and socialism has been explained by Mr. Amos Black in your paper sometime ago in a most clear oud able murine r. la tegard to your opposition and severe attacks upon tociulbtn, I have to say that 1 feel that you are doing the number of that party a great Injustice. 1'opullsts and socialists bold many view in common and many who do t heir own thinking be lieve that they ought to vote tbe same ticket. &., , A rifting scale of prices may tend to keep the trust in check or eveu destroy them. mtmmzz: A scientific money system projsrly np- State ov Ohio.

Home people believe that blgnnr prices resulting from free coinage of both metals would bring about a emand for more shoes, mors clothes, more houses to be. built and so foith, thus giving em-' tilopment to all and at better wage, This, however, is ft little uncurtain aid many are doubtful as to whether the de strnii result will fully obtain, Socialists believe that the eight hour law can better im depended on to bring about tbe deslrd effect employment for all, Hoelillnts, like populists, do their own thinking and hardly two think alike, and no writer can be taken as authority as representing populism or sodilium In every respect, l'opulist a a rule bi lieva tiiateducutlou Is a good thing but a few dispense with that necessity rather than pay the tax. Home socialist may advocate a division of property aud lh everything In common tilan, but they are few and In the minority. Meanwhile letu not condemn this theory, perhap some day when our so soolnlsystem I thoroughly reorganised that It would work to , satisfaction just like our educational system today. The man who pay a 1 100 school tax re ceives only the same benefit a the man who pay one dollar or Ihs. The high school law passed tin winter (staking another step in tbe, same dlndiou, namely; That we shall not only, have the high school but that these schools shall be within reach of the poor irov em men t ownership of railroads, tl. gruph and telephone line are socialistic plans. Equal right before the law and spiclnl privilege to none will hardly fill the bill and we must accept socialism to such an extent Unit those who are less favored with Intelligence can successfully com pete with those of great brain power, or those who are weak can make a com fortable a living a the strong, or o that those who are poor shall not suffer from oppression by the rich, Kpvainl legislation for the weak und the poor Is needed against the strong and weullhy, A government that permits one iimhi to bold and own the oil lands, another to monopolize the railroads, anoi her the land and mo oii until a mall majority of the tieople own nearly all the property of the nation, and the great majority paying large parts of their euruirm year after year to enrich those few, is not a satisfactory government, and some radical remedies nre needed bcsldf money leg'slatlon. If socialism does not exactly suit our taste let us not con demn it anyhow. Hoemllsm enacted Into law tep by tep, 1 believe would be a great blessing to humanity. When 1 gut ready to pray I will try to counteract Mr, Drj ant's prayer and says "Ood de liver us from this terrible scourg," namely: Comisititlon. No, Mr, Editor, do not waste your ammunition on tbe socialist but fire It at tbe goldbugs and prates, and let u extend bur right hand of fellowship to onr socialist brethren. I do not write thi to cast any n flic tions, on ths contrary, 1 realize the good that yon and Mr. Bryant have done for the party, and only wish tbe land was full of inea like you.
