HE CRITICISM OF
PUBLIC OFFICERS

1t is necessary in a republic
t. pardon a COED deal to The
spirit of liberty in the way OF
the criticism Of public officers
Of the Government must expect
to have their actions sharply
discussed, and their motives
questioned more or less. But
there is . limitto the Legitimate
use of this privilege. Public
officers have some rights and
are entitled to some protection.
hot only in personal sense,
hut also because Of the respect
that is due to their officers
apart from themselves. There
are a great many people who
dislike the course of Mr.. Cleve-
land, but that is no Justification
for assailing him with coarse
vituperation. He is President
of the United States, represent
ing the highest idea of autho-
rily and dignity under our Con
stitution, and as such all citi
Gems owe him a certain measure
of respect, whether they agree
with him or not. When he is
spoken of in a scurrilous man.
ner, the great Office that he
holds is treated with contempt.
1t is possible to crlticise his Of
fetal proceedings in sufficiently
severe terms without resorting
10 blacl1guardism and indecent
personal abuse; and In the Sen
ate as elsewhere this fact should
he enforced as a rule of con
duct.
There is entirely too much
lsose eXpecioration of speech
in this country with regard to
men who are chosen to manage
the affairs of the Government.
All public officers are human
and they make mistakes; but
it does not follow that they
-shUrid be venomously con
demned and deridrd because
they fail from timess.,lo time in
their efforts to,please The coun-
try. Tt is right to point out their
rrors and call them to account
ior their derelictions, but it is
not right to empty buckets of
filth upon them. This is par
ticnlarly true as to those who
occupy exalted stations and
stand in relations ofspecial i'm
lortanct to'the outside world.
when these conspicuous Off
cials are viliiied in an extra
VACANT and vulgar way, their
ITices are discredited and the
good name of the Government
j. aSpersed. There must be
criticism, of course, and it is
advantageous TO the country
when properly framed and d.
rected; bat no benefit is ever
derived from wild and wanton
personal abuse. The people dc
pot indorse the low and scan
dalous antics of a man like
1'illman. Whatever they may
think Of TIE public acts O
those whom he selects as tar
gets for his arrows Of detrac
tion, they do not favor tina
method of political warfare, ant
do not entertain any better feel

nOunces that revolutionary outbreak

the Philippine Islands are the chief colo.

repeatedly have ut last spurred the Philip.
pine Islanders to revolution. This rebel
lion Is the one thing which, more than all
others, Spain has feared for more than a

for Cuba, since 1t means that SPANS
troops must be divided between two rebel
lious provinces instead Of being cOncen-
trated OH one. The Philippines are a
group of large and small islands, more

The islands have been a very valuable
colony for Spain, producing great quonti.
