It is “benevolent taxation without representation” now. The Senate has practically agreed to kill the French reciprocity treaty in case France refuses to allow its postponement until after the election. Thus vanishes another Republican platform promise. The New York Tribune, administration supporter as it is, gives a number of frauds perpetrated on the Government in connection with the Philippines. When the Tribune feels compelled to explain snch things they most be pretty bad. Considering the alleged fact that the Filipinos are beaten at all points, it seems rather queer to hear that they are attacking our men in force. It was bad enough when Otis reported no victories but it is now that he is reporting what looks suspicously like defeats. •c.'•-iv. . ’ ' ■ • ... Va. • m
