rHE KLNn OE MEM ~ NEED.

Col. Roosevelt has a way Of saying
the right thing at the right time, and
there was much good sense in his re-
marks at the Harvard dinner in Cam
bridge, the other night, in the course of
which he spoke as follows of Gen.
Woods services as military governor
of Santiago;
Not only has he shown the highest
military qualities, but he is now eX-
hibiting the very highest administra-
tive ability. He is the kind and type
of men we need and America needs
now more than at any other time. For
the future of our race and the honor
of America and the American people,
let us see to it that men like him are
selected to rule over and transact the
affairs of the new peoples now coming
under our flag. If we do not, then we
shall only show the people of the old
world we are unfit to take charge of
things.
If we are to become a colony holding
people, we must have not only earnest,
honest men in charge of affairs at dis
tant stations, but men of a high order
of executive ability While we have
in the United States no such large
class Of experienced administrators as
Great Britain is able to draw upon for
appointments in her colonies, we have

CONCERT AT OLD SOUTH.

The first regular organ recital that
has been given in Old South Church
since its dedication, took place last
night, when Everett j. Harrington, as
sisted by Mrs. Dorothy McTaggart-
Miller, gave a very interesting concert
of about an hour and a half Mr.. Har-
rington is studying with William c.
Hammond of HolyOke, and some of the
qualities which make the performance
of the latter so satisfactory are visible
in the playing Of his pupil Mr.. Har-
rlngton gave good account of himself
in all his numbers, but especially in
Bach's Dono toccata and in the Gull
mant sonata which is one of the
strongest of modern compositions for
the organ, Mrs Miller as usual gave
pleasure with her fine voice. Her num-
bers were Roeckers Angus MacDon-
aid, which was sung con amore. and
Strelezki's Dreams" Neither she nor
Mr.. Harrington would respond to an
encore.
Mr.. Harrington makes the pleasant
announcement that the organ recital
last night was the first in a series Of
three, the second Of which will follow
IN the course Of month or five weeks.

A Yale alHmnus. who is a clergyman,
writes to the Springfield Republican,
deploring the opposition to the election
of q Congregational minister as sue
cessor to President Dwight, but con-
Tossing at the same time that I'VE have
not got one who is great enough for the
place" Then he goes on to show that
Yale has not a single distinguished
preacher or theologian or leader in the
ministry today. That, in reality is the
burden of this correspondents COM
plant, and it is significant. He dispar-
ages the argument that ministers lack
executive ability, and instances the
Roman Catholic clergy as proof that

utives. Administrative ability has been

clergyman big enough to become the
successor of Timothy Dwight.

GOING SLOW IN THE COLONIES.

GOING SLOW IN THE "COLONIES, "
The Philadelphia Press remarks that
President McKinley's message prac-
tically postpones legislation on the new
acquisitions of the United States until
the next congress" Not only disap-
pointment, but disapproval have been
expressed because the president has
been so reticent in regard TO his colon
ial policy, but the Press thinks this
postponement will be generally APP
proved" There seems to be some
doubt as to this prediction, but there is
much to be said of the wisdom of the
presidents course.
1t is desirable that military rule
should continue in the dependencies
until affairs in the various islands have
time to become quiet and until our
own officials have had ample opportun-
ity to get acquainted with the situa-
ton in each and develop the needs and
dispositions Of the people far beyond
our present official knowledge Of them.
Acts, if not words, indicate that this
is indeed the presidents policy. When
the time comes for dealing with the
problems of colonial government, the
relations between the United States
and the late Spanish dependencies will
have been in some degree defined by
treaty, and the president will also be
in possession of facts, statistics and
observations contributed both by ar
my officers and civilian experts, with
which still further to elueidate the sit
uation for the convenience ct congress
and the benefit of the islanders.
There are advantages in a military
regime at such time as this, because
of the greater power invested in the
rulers and because of the elimination
of politics from government. That the
latter consideration would not COM
mend the system to a large fraction of
the imperialists was to be expected,
and it is to be said that the commercial
interests have no use for rigid military
rule. Disappointment of this sort will
have to be endured, however and in
the long run the dependencies will
rather be gamers on that account.

COMBINE
OF the Voting
Machines.

ton With Success.

John McTammany of Worcester is in
Rochester, n. Y, and is the head and
centre of a movement for the CONSOLE
dation of the voting machine compa-
MES of the country.
McTammany, who is the inventor of
the voting machine that bears his
name, has grown tired of the fuss and
feathers between the inventors of rival
machines, and has been at work for
several months in his effort to CONSOLE
date all interests and to pool issues for
the pecuniary gain of inventors and
voting machine companies, and Incl
dentally for the benefit of the public
as we'll
Several attempts have been made
within the past few months to CONSOLE
date the voting machine interest of the
country, and two or three meetings
have been held in different parts of the
United States for the purpose of reach
| ing some understanding.
Much difficulty has been encountered,
however owing to the jealousy of the
different inventors, as each one natu-

ousy quiet. The ice being once bro
ken, there was more applause later in
the evening.
BY way Of overture, Mr.. Butler gave
very clear and musicianly perform
ance Of Bach's noble Doric toocata for
the organ. The accompanies were c.
Fl. Grout, organist, and Miss Ruth e.
Nelson, pianist. The symphony which
precedes the Mendelssohn cantata, was
played entire, the typical opening
phrase being played on the trombone
by Bernard Wallberg, wherever it oc-
ours. This certainly added brilliancy
but no harm would have been done If
the symphony, which depends largely
upon the orchestration for it's effect
had been omitted

rally thinks his device best, and would
insist upon its manufacture to the ex-
olusion of all others, and there was
also some difficulty experienced in
reaching q basis of settlement. But
notwithstanding these and other OBJ
stacles, progress was made, and one
company after another surrendered to
the combination until it became evil
dent that it is only a matter of time
until the whole voting machine indus
try will come under one management.
Seven of the largest concerns are now
known to have been absorbed by the
combination, and others are seriously
considering an entrance in the new
company, so that those who are famll-
lar with the situation, regard the action
of the Standard Company as the begin
ming of the end.
The combined capital and large and
valuable collection of patents now con-
trolled by the combination will be a
serious handicap to any competitor. In
Tact it is claimed by those in a position
to know that a practical voting ma
chine cannot be made without infring
ing the patents of the consolidated COM
panies.
The central figure in this movement,
as already stated and the man intrust-
ed with the responsibility of bringing

many, of this city.
McTammany is at present in Roch
ester and in reply TO a query from The
| Spy, admitted that the foregoing facts
were in the main true, but declined to
| feFeshadow the further plans of the
combination, although admitting that
1t expected to absorb other important
| interests later, and all with view to
ultimately combining all the Vital and
| important patents and inventions.
1t has been rumored that we are
forming voting machine trust" said
Mr.. McTammany, but l want to en-
phatloally deny that, for it is not a trust
in the common acceptance of the term.
Reasons led up to the formation of the
| combination First, the manufacturers
could not make a merohantable machine
without infringing on each others
patents and that would sooner or later
involve them in costly and vexatious
litigation. Second, the politicians were
! pttting one manufacturer against an
other and bleeding them unmercifuIly
| Third, the laws, and in some instances
the constitution. of the states need re-
vision Fourth, it is highly desirable to
have uniform system, not only in each
state, but in the whole United States
and finally, under the new arrangement
better machine can be made and sold
for less money"

DR.. GUNNIsoN's LECTURE.
A Large Audience Assembled at the First
Un,versalist Church.

The First Universalist Church was
crowded to the doors last evening Rev.
Dr. Gunnison delivered a lecture on
Russia, which was Illustrated by hand
some stereopticon views obtained by
the reverend gentleman while touring
Russia last summer,
DR.. Gunnison described the country,
its people, its architecture, its vast
ness and the wealth of it's resources as
we'll as the habits and religion Of the
inhabitants. He was listened to with
rapt attention, and the lecture was
pronounced to be one of the best that
DR.. Gunnison has given.
The views deserve considerable
praise. They were fine reproductions
Of the original photographs. DR.. Gun
nison's powers of description had
splendid scope last evening and the lee
ture was both highly instructive and
entertaining.

In spite of the severe lesson taught
by the Dreyfus case, France is very
reluctant to grant reforms in the no.
toriously bad conduct of criminal pro-
ceedings. The attempt made last week
in the chamber of deputies to secure
the abolition of the existing practice
of subiecting prisoners to preliminary
trials in the absence of counsel, was
unsuccessful, although the practice it.
self is contrary to all modern ideas of
justice and has led to grave abuses,
some of which have reacted with great
force upon the government. That an
accused person should be considered
innocent until shown to be guilty, is
good doctrine, and it is pity that it
cannot find lodgment in the minds of
those who sit in French tribunals.

That effervescent democrat the Hon.
Mr.. Sulzer of New York, is not a good
man to start an army investigation in
congress. Besides, nothing can be done
till the presidents commission reports,
next January, and the short session
win be so full of business that the
chances of taking up the matter seem
very slim. When the next congress as
sembles, the whole question will be
stale and tiresome and there will be
other and more tempting fields for de-
bate. In fact, none of the official re-
ports have yet given encouragement
to expect even a sensible reorganization
of the army though that may come
about in the course of congressional
business.
