1t is quite clear that the public
sentiment is moving strongly in
favor OF holding on to the Philip
pines and it is equally clear that
those European powers that may
be disposed to make objection
would consider Uncle Sam a
chump if he consented to let them
go. :" To the victors belong the
spoils" and the costs of war, like
that of the law. must inevitably
fall on the loser.

OUR REGIMENT AT CAMP ALdER.

OUR REGIMENT AT CAMP AL0ER.
The First Rhode Island Regi-
ment, from all accounts, compares
most favorably with the commands
from all over the country now as
sembling at Camp Alger, and the
high praise bestowed upon it by
our own people when it marched
away is seen to be justified by un-
failing comparison.
Indeed, there seems to be no
better set up regiment at the camp,
and so far as equipment goes the
Rhode Islanders are among the
rare few to arrive at the place Of
mobilization fully prepared to pro-
ceed Immediately to the front.
This we find remarked upon in
our contemporaries in STR g
contrast to the condition of many
of the regiments which won brief
fame for themselves and their
States by reason of being first"
and Gin the van" of the volun-
teers to leave home and report
for duty. For according to all ac-
counts many of these too enthusi-
astic bodies have arrived at the
army posts in such shape as to
suggest the advisability of sending
them back home, not only for drill,
but for arms and clothing. There
was fine hurrah, for instance, at
the promptness of an Ohio cavalry
command which was one of these
first" to reach one of the camps.
But when it arrived there it was
found to have neither uniforms
nor horses, and had to be supplied
with tents and beds to camp out
in.
We are not surprised at the
compliments paid the Rhode Island
contingent, thanks to the malicious
efforts of our morning newspaper
which never neglects a chance to
attack the present government of
Rhode Island, and, in default of
chance makes it, public opinion
hereabouts has been somewhat
stirred up since the Presidents
call for troops by the "slowness"
charged against the adrninistra-
ton in getting together the Rhode
Island contingent. But if this
alleged slowness has disturbed
Rhode Islanders, the evidence
now is that it was of distinct ad-
vantage to the country and the
cause for which the troops are en-
listed. The more haste the less
speed is illustrated in the gather
ing of the great provisional army.
The Rhode Island regiment, among
the last to leave home is promptly
rated among the first in the place
where it is wanted for service.
Col. Abbot reported with his COM
mand at Camp Alger ready for

that the Democrats will go into the fight this

John Lind is a man of nerve. A man to
come out and express his convictions publicly,
regardless of any political party or politicians
dictation. That kind of a man will make q
good governor for Minnesota-Sleepy Eye
Herald.
There was a time when 1t was deemed
commendable for the Office to seek the man.
One of the strong arguments that Republicans
are making this year against John Lind and
P. NJ Ringdal is that they did not want
the nominations which have been given them,
one for the governorship the other for con-
gress Yet to those who think soberly about
the matter this point is strongly in favor
Of any candidate so situated The man who
wants the Office is not who expects to
administer it with eye solely to his coun-
try's good. He has some private interest
to serve every time. He either wants the
salary or the power that place gives, or he
wishes to carry through schemes Of plumber.
The man VINO does not want the Office may
be trusted He is not looking for personal
profit He will serve the people, because
he has no other end to serve It seems there
fore reasonable to distrust those who clamor
for nominations and to favor those who are
honest in their declaration that they do not
want them. Among these latter there are
no two men more sincere in saying they are
mot in politics. and do not wish for polit-
cal preferment than John Lind and P. M.

trusted by the people.-Wheelock's Weekly.

they not filed the hospitals without q

No. Muster them all out!
