be cajoled OF threatened in connec-

1t is exactly that which Is meant by
Hanna when he grumbles at proverbial
party apathy, and declares that every
Republican must now get right out and
work until election day. There is only
one kind of work, of course, expected of
every Republican. 1t is the task of 60
ing deep down into already well bled
pockets, and, where the power exists. of
suspending industrial operations and
coercing wage workers. That sort of
help proved efficient and sufficient in
1896. Hanna has the same confidence in
sound business methods now that he
had then.
This year he has much greater oc-
casion to apply them. In the Presiden-
tial campaign he bad not tithe of the
organized force in opposition to meet
that he has today. Then it was only
question of the combined wealth and
power of the capitalist and employing
class against a mass of despairing and
hungry farmers and laborers. Now he
must count with influences against him.
perhaps equal in potentiality TO all the
millions he is raising and spending like
water.
In 1896, he had the wealth of Alger.
among others, at his back. This year
he has the record of Alger, and more
like him, delving night and day to de-
stroy the hopes of his party. Dodge is

these are working for Democratic sue

Yes, indeed. Hanna! You are as right
as trivet, There is excuse for Repub-
lican apathy just now, and, from your
point of view, there is awful reason for

the Commission in securing their testi-
mony. Yet the committee is simply
told that II has made charges-in re-
peating facts of common knowledge
and if 1t will send names the matter
will be duly considered" If the Com
mission had wanted the truth and the
proofs of 1t, 1t would have welcomed
this proffered aid with enthusiasm. 1t
would have sent members to confer
to proceed. The letter was a cold water
douche. A significant silence followed
its reading. 1t was, in effect, a rejec-
ton of all aid, since 1t gave no assur-
ance that witnesses would be protected.
There is a natural fear on the part Of
men still in the service that a court
martial or some form of punishment
against the War Department. There
fore, when the Commission, without
pledging itself to protect the witnesses,
calls for names, 1t takes sure method
to prevent the committee from sending
names.
The committee decided there was no
hope of a thorough investigation by the
Alger Commission. 1t was apparent
that the aid and the witnesses of the
committee were not wanted. 1t was the
conclusion of the members that the
only way to get the truth before the
people is to have similar committee in
every city take the testimony Of all SOL
diers within reach and publish the re-
suit. This will insure a congressional
investigation, and will be a sufficient
exposure of any whitewashing report.
The main object of the Alger Commits
sion is to serve the Administration in
the elections. but even the dullest must
now see that 1t does not mean to get at
the bottom of the scandals.

As our Washington correspondent points cut,
in his resume of the investigation Of the war by
the Presidents committee, the spots most in need
of the probe have been either avoided or hastily
glided over. To justify the privations OF soldiers
and especially the inroads of disease IN military
camps by constant reference to the experience OF
the Civil War. is an appeal to the preiudices of
the investigators. all veterans and really CIV
ing away of the whole case. II our army has learn

very point of complaint is that the discredited

this was done, why bad system was put for

men, was the very thing the committee shoule

FRIDAY. OCTOBER IL, 1898.
The Presidents Policy.

Inc
The most hurried reader cannot fail
TO note that stirring as the words of the
President have been in his Western
short speeches and in his more care
full address at Omaha, and. simple as
they seem. II is not easy to get at the
meaning. They are the words of COM
mon speech and OF eloquence that re-
quire no dictionary study, yet they are
as vague as 10 meaning as the technical
address of a confirmed word painter
who makes lingo supply the place of
ideas. For example, what could he
mean by an '.rgent, eloquent. almost
pathetic appeal to the people to present
a united front, al least until the peace
with Spain shall have been effected?
There was no mention of a particular
interest to indicate the need of a solid
front, and no suggestion Of the subject
on which he feared the people might di-
vide. The words We're applauded be-
cause the tone of their delivery seemed
to require it; they pleased the ear with
out penetrating the understanding.
Only after some study could the aver
age hearer imagine what it was all
about.
At Omaha the vagueness enveloped
all except the purely rhetorical part of
the Presidents address. His tribute to
our army and our navy, and TO the
whole people was clear enough, and al
most beautiful. II was clear, too, that
he suggested moderation in comment
ing on any shortcomings of the War
Department-even that he regarded
criticisms of Secretary AIger as only
one step short of disloyalty. But it is
safe to say that the great body of his
hearers were perplexed by his assertion
that We owe a duty to other nations
that may conflict with our desires, and
that desire must give way to duty. In
the light of some other things, probably
most were puzzled by his warning
against submitting to the temptations
of undue aggression
The only inference we are able to
draw from the vague phrases used in
the Omaha speech is that they relate to
the Philippines question; that while the
resolution of the New York Republican
convention, and the stout promises of
senator Hanna tnat we are TO nave all
the islands, are to be taken as the Re-
publican policy. for campaign use, in
fact, we are to get only the Island of
Luzon, according to the instructions of
the Peace Commissioners. We can only
conclude that the President has cast an
anchor TO the windward-or that he is
protecting himself against a future
charge OF deception.
During the campaign the people are
bound to think. from the resolution
mentioned. and from Hanna's assertion,
that the Republican Administration is
virtually pledged to demand and obtain
title TO the entire archipelago. The peo-
pie will vote under that belief. Then,
when the treaty is made. it will be seen
that we are to have only one island. If
the President is charged with perfidy he
will be able to point to his Omaha ad-
dress. What is vague now will be clear
then. 1t will be seen that when he
spoke Of desire giving way to duty, he
meant duty required the surrender of
all the other islands: and the warning
against undue aggression will explain
itself.
