SHALL SOLDIERS voTEp

A great deal has been said, perhaps
Saxon alliance. At all events there has
been as little sense in the ultra Anglo
maniac demand for a treaty between
England and the United States, tanta-
mount to a pooling of the land and sea
power of the two countries, in an at
tempt to control the destinies of the uni
verse, as in the biased opposition of the
antagonstic element to better under
standing between the two countries. The
correct thing will doubtless be discovered
midway between the two extremes. That
is usually the safest ground.
1t has remained for the London Specta-
tor to define it tersey and logically. I'm
our opinion" it says, there is no need
for any hard -and-fast alliance. Both ma
tions now understand that in the last re-
sort they will stand by each other, and
this is all that is required. A more def
mite alliance is unnecessary, and might
prove the cause of friction. Members
of the same family do not require to
make fixed compacts after the manner of
strangers in blood"
The governments of Canada and the
United States have already agreed to ap-
point joint commission for settling their
outstanding differences. When the war
is ended, if not before, it will doubtless
occur to this country that mistake was
made in rejecting the arbitration treaty
with Great Britain, and renewal of ne
to follow. For the rest, the Spectator
has pointed the solution.

War Is Education

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
! notice under date of June 22d that c. Fred
Harris says that We are the only nation on
the earth which does not spend more money
upon the military than upon schools. The
Outlook says the expenditures Of the United
States for education in 1897 were $1.35 per
capita. We spend 81 per capita in pen
sions and the direct war tax and inter-
est on war debts make our war tax con-
sde.ably greater than Russ.a's ($2,0D,

spending not less than twice as much for
war as for schools. After the present war

1t will be recalled that the secretary
of war, in his last annual report, strongly
recommended the expenditure of large
sum of money to improve a certain fresh

Secretary Algers management of the

shown himself to be hopelessly incompe-
tent. so far as the war is concerned; hc
is beyond question the plant tool of
Huntingdon; he has placed personal ia
voritism and politics before efficiency and
proper qualifications in filling the offices
and positions at his disposal, and he has
not been above using his high authority
and influence in an endoavor to feather
the nests of himself and his business
associates in the manner indicated in the
foregoing.

To the Lafayette Gazette:
What has the editor of the Adver-
riser done7 What has he said7
There was not a word that he wrote
that did not carry animosity. But
! did not call the public's attention
to it. Why? Because I believed
him manly enough to answer my
questions. The public did not be-
lleve the statements he made. Ide-
ny the statements, which were made
without authority. The essilly
tales" were inspired bv the unchari-
table, illadvissd and imbecile re-
marks of the Advertiser concerning
our club for having played on the
fremen's gala day, which leads me
to believe that the editor of the ad-
has not the moral courage
to MAINTAIN his convictions, if his
they were. "Honl soft qui NAL y
pense."

and the Philippines. is not the only
consideration attaching to the vic
o,y of Commodore Dewey. Com
mon prudence would dictate the
holding of the islands as a means of
enforcing the payment of a suita-
bic indemnity when the war is over
This will undoubtedly be done; but
such occupation is sure to offend
several of the European powers,
and particularly Germany, France
and Russia. Japan has also long
coveted the islands, and would not
like to see us firmly established
there.
1t will thus be readily seen that,
while the victory at Manila has
greatly improved our prestige, it
has also vastly increased our res
and difficulties. The
most serious danger attaching to
the war with Spain is the possibility
Of complications with other more
formidable powers. For the mo-
nent, however, the first considera-
ion is to hurry troops and coal
supplies to Commodore Dewey.

POSSESSION OF THE PHILIP
PINES.

New Orleans Picayune.
Although no definite report has
yet been received as to the status
of affairs at Manila, there seems
little reason to doubt that by this
time the town has fallen into Ameri-
can hands. Shoulds that have hap
pencd, Commodore Dewey will be
confronted with the difficulty Of
having to occupy the town and pre-
serve order. 1t cannot be said that
Spanish rule in the Philippines has
ceased merely because the city of
M ALA has been reduced. The &C.
cupation of Manila and its neigh
borhood entails grave responsible
ties, with which the Government at
Washington must cope at once.
1t would be absurd to imagine
that the capture of Manila will end
the fighting in that part of the
world. There are many other
points which will have to be re-
duced if Spanish rule in the islands
is to be dispensed with. 1t will not
DO merely to turn the islands over
to the insurgents, who are mainly
fanatics and half-breeds. It will
be necessary to reinforce Commo-
dore Dewey by sending a force of
troops to occupy Manila, and leave
he ships free to proceed to other
portions of the archipelago.
1t is reported from Washington
hat the Government is already
'eenly alive to the necessity of |
troops to the Philippines.
such an undertaking presents diff
