THE MET POLICE.

Some of the Prohibitionissts. John
Peter Saint John among the mum ber'
are bowling over the adjustment OF
the metropolitan police system. There
was never any religion. morality, tenn
perance or justice in the system. 1t
was politics pure and simple from first
to last. It was a supposed prop to pros
hibition, but was, in fact, screen and
shield for many things verse than beer
selling and drinking. 1t was, and is,
relic Of Russian methods and when the
cranks lost control, it proved only and
Just that which we assert. The Pops
didn't demand its adjustment on prln-
ciple, but because of a supposed poltl-
cal advantage it might give that party.
The only redeeming thing about it was
that it took the whisky question out Of
politics in the spring elections OF the
six larger cities Of the state. The pro-
hibition law forces that question into
every. election, generally as the leading
one. The metropolitan police system
being originally instituted for purely
political purposes, and the Pops hay
ing abolished it for exactly the same
reason, We hope, and expect, that the
five cities under Republican control
will proceed promptly to reorganize
their police control along Republican
lines by cutting down the force, in the
first place and by appointing straight
out Republicans for every position.

MILES AND MERRITT

With all the embarking Of armies for
the West Indies and for the Philippines,
1t will be noticed that both Miles and
Merritt, the respective commanders Of
these expeditions, remain at home.
Miles having headed his staff departed
on special train for Tampa. But he
got back to Washington at the first
opportunity. Merritt arrived some
weeks ago in San Francisco, but out
side Of his daily expressed desire to get
away, there is little indication of his
actual going. Miles should have gone
TO Cuba on the first transport, ditto
Merritt on the Charleston to the Phil
ippines. He who would lead should
avoid remaining IN the rear. If Mer-
rift and Miles are afraid or distrust
their ability to successfully cope with
the situation they owe it to the brave
boys who have gone forward to say so
by resigning in favor Of those who win
take the lead. If these two gentlemen
believe that they have been overlooked
by the American people in the shuttle
and hustle Of embarkation, or if they
dream that they can make the people
believe that they are of more import
ance thousands Of miles in the rear
than at the front they are nightly
mistaken. The people have their eye
on some half dozen or more leaders
who have been entrusted with great
responsibilities, and two of these half
dozen are Miles and Merritt.

CHINA AND RUSSIA.
public.

A Pekin dispatch to the London
China's request that she should allow
the new Chinese cruisers from Germany
to dock at Port Arthur unless the for
eign officers aboard them are exclus-
lively Russian. Doubtless Russia will
justify this audacious demand by the
plea that she does not wish foreign
nations to obtain information in regard
to the Notifications that have been or
are being erected at Port Arthur. But
everybody will understand that this is
the veriest subterfuge. Port Arthur is
are many ways whereby information
of Russian works may be obtained
without the subornation of officers in
the service of the Chinese Empire. The
order simply means that Russia is de-
termined to gain complete control not
only of the trade of northern China
and of the Chinese army and the Chi
nese railroad system, but of the Chinese
navy as well, so that for every prac-
teal purpose ,china shall be mere
appenage and dependency of Russia.
When it is remembered that but a
few months ago Port Arthur belonged
to and was a part of China, and that
Russia compelled China to surrender
the use Of the port under threat the
.
mean courtesy is astounding.

WE ARE RICH.

The Eagle said the other day that
Europe did not fear the United States
Of America because of our fighting
qualities, because Of our numbers or
spread Of territory, but because of our
wealth. Money in war means every
thing. The United States of America
not only possesses the greatest re-
sources, is growing more rapidly than
any other country on the globe, but in
actual wealth it surpasses all other ma
lions. Mulhall, the English statistician
who has been compiling the statistical
wealth of the world, in which he in
sludes everything in the way of taxa
bic values, shows the United States to
be the greatest nation, as measured
10y dollars. The following is the table
given by him:

Taking another view Of the annual
earnings, that is, the value Of the pro-
ducts of this country are twice that of
any other country, or about one-half
Of that Of all Europe combined. 1t is
this fact which makes the Kaiser and
France hesitate and Spain despair.
While Russia, Germany and France
are talking Of taking a hand in our af-
fairs in Asia. and hint at calling
Time" in Cuba, Uncle Sam is slowly
but surely assuming a commanding
position among European nations.
Thanks to Admiral Deweys brilliant
naval coup and his skill in handling a
difficult political situation since. the
United States has steered clear Of all
possibility Of international complica-
tons in the Philippines Now that our
troops are landed the islands are ours
beyond recourse. England looks on ap-
provingly. Japan does not object. The
other powers imagine that the United
States viii ultimately turn these pos
sessions over to somebody, and they
are snarlngly waiting ike ours for
the bone TO drop.

Herald from Washington says:
As a result OF consultation at the
White House between the president. SEC.
retaries Hay and Long. fresh instruc-
tionS regarding the Philippines have been
addressed 20 the American commissioners
In Paris. They DO not materially alter
those given 10 the delegates before their
departure for France but are on a new
point brought up since the consultation OF
Major General Merritt with the Amer an
representatives.
A cipher dispatch was received by Sec
retary Hay regarding the matter and he
considered the question 80 important that
he at once went 10 the White House and
laid II before the president. Mr. Mckinley
sent for Secretary Long and shortly
afterward Second Assistant Secretary Of

ANOTHER WAR WITH SPAIN.

Some newspapers think the Spanish are
making secret preparations to seize Cuba
and Porto Rico again, and get back what
they lost during the late war. We do not
believe these rumors. Enemies cannot
successfully attack a strong nation like
the United States. Neither can diseases
successfully attack strong constitutions,
II a man has a healthy stomach, disease
cannot get foothold. The best remedy
known to science for making strong con-
stituuons is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
This is that long-tr1ed remedy which
makes the stomach healthy by making
the digestion perfect. Perfect digestion
makes pure blood. Pure blood carries
strength and vigor into every corner OF
the body through the veins, The Bltters
are incompatible for nervousness and
sleeplessness.
