THE CHANGE OF BASE.

The attention of those who feel that
the Cabinet has not of late paid re
spectful attention to the wishes Of it's
late supporters, is called to the langu-
age of the Joint Resolution which is
now the supreme law of the land. A
careful reading of it would allay their
heartfelt regrets over the short-com-
ings of the high officials.
The Joint Resolution is this:
Until Congress shall provide for the
government of such Islands, all the
civil. judicial and military powers exer-
cised by the officers of the existing gov
eminent in said Islands, shall be vested
in such person or persons as the Presi-
dent of the United States shall direct;
and the President shall have power to
remove the said officers and to I'LL the
vacancies so OccasiOned.'
BY this act the power of the people
is simply extinguished. They cannot
elect, or remove. All popular or demo-
cratic power is summariIy transferred
to the President. All officers must do
just what the President directs them to
do. and not what the Earnest Patriots
want them to do. The act of annexa-
ton, by putting all authority in the
hands of the President, simply swept
out of existence for the time being
every vestige of representative gov
eminent in the Islands. 1t was so
agreed and so understood. The Cab
met, exists, not by virtue of the Hawai-
ian Constitution but by virtue of Pre-
sident McKinIey's appointing power
The instant President Dole and his
associates received their commissions
it was virtual command to them to
keep in touch with Washington, and
not with their late supporters. This
extremely radical or revolutionary
proceeding was done with the cordial
consent of every annexationist. For
the time being the government is that
of the President because he alone con-
trolls every officer, and fills every
office.
It is not strange that this radical
change of conditions is not realized
The agreeable practice of telephon1ng
from Fort street up to the Executive
building the views of the supporters
was suddenly arrested by President
McKinleys act of taking the instru-
ment out of the building. Even the
Cabinet itself has shown symptoms OF
it's old habit of doing about as il
pleased, as if it ruled an independent
State. But it is gradually getting down
to the proper level.

Governor Wolcott of Massachusetts
patheticaIIy writes to the President
that the people of his State cannot en-
dure the sight of the sufferings of their
own flesh and blood, wasting and dy-
ing from incompetent treatment
The President has now appointed a
commission of nine well known men
to promptly investigate the matter, and
make a speedy report.
The trouble is mainly, however, with
the system and not with the Govern
ment. War is an art that demands for
it's success, the very highest power Of
organization. The men who possess
this power are always rare. Only in
long wars do such rare men finally get
to the front. Caesar and Frederick the
Great and Napoleon with despotic
power, cast away incompetent men and
selected competent men. But in a
democracy, like our own, the people
naturally interfere, and the politicians
run the military campaigns, and care
for the sick, in the beginning. When
the people become conscious of their
own incompetence to conduct cam
paigns then they stand aside. Only
after two years of suffering and mis-
management during the Civil War,
did the people say to Lincoln: Take
charge Of the whole business and dc
as you please
President Mckinley is now hampered
as Lincoln was hampered. The volun-
teers inexperienced in war choose to
fight under officers also inexperienced
in the art of war, and especially in the
ways of taking care of their men.
The nation is thrice fortunate in get
ting an object lesson in the real art
of war, at a small expense. 1t will now
listen to what it's great soldiers have
told them for thirty years, that if it
proposes to be a military nation it
must have men trained in the art OF
fighting, and also in the more impOr-
tant business of taking care of it's men
Thirty years ago death or sickness
from neglect or improper treatment
was regarded as only a natural Incl
dent of the soldiers life. Today ad-
vanced knowledge of sanitary matters
on the part of the people, makes neg
lect and improper treatment a crime

Gen. Joe Wheeler has represented
his district in Congress for so many
years that the Earnest Patriots of the
district concluded that he ought to be
rotated" just as enlightened patriots
here believe that the political health
of the country requires rotation" here.
Mr.. Blackwell, the opponent of Gen.
Wheeler has promptly withdrawn as
rival candidate, and Gen. Wheeler
will be selected. 1t is said, however,
that Gen. Wheeler may be candidate
for the Senate, at the expiration OF
Senator Morgan's term. If mere wishes
could re-elect Senator Morgan, he
would have the wishes of this town
excepting only those who believe IN
rotation"

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND
ALGER.

A storm of indignation is now sweep
ing through the Mainland over those
who are responsible for the cruel neg
lect of the soldiers during the war. In
certain spots it rises to hurricane.
The newspaper correspondence, the
letters of enlisted men, and the re-
turning soldiers carry to every city,
town and farm the most distressing
accounts of mismanagement, negl1-
gence. want of foresight and lack of
energy in protecting the health of the
troops. The failure to provide decent
accommodations for the sick at Mon
tank Point. one of the most desirable
summer resorts on the Atlantic coast,
esnecially stirs the anger OF those who
sent their sons, husbands and brothers
to the field with the expectation that
a rich and grateful country would pro-
tee them from unnecessary suffering
Many of the complaints however are
unreasonable and untruthful. The peo-
ple insisted on extemporizing an army,
and sending it to the dangerous tropics
in the worst season of the year. This
inconsiderate action has resulted in
much unnecessary suffering.
As might be expected, men vote as
they feel. and the storm of indignation
threatens to thin the ranks of Republi-
can voters. The belief that Secretary
AIger has failed to discharge his duty
has significantly REDUCED the Repub-
lican vote in Vermont, during the re-
cent election.
The Republican press of that State
warned the President before the cleo
ton that the party could not carry
Alger.
The Rutland Herald, one of the lead
ing Republican papers said: 1t must
in frankness be said that the war does
not give the Republican party such an
advantage as it should, and the whole
trouble comes from Alger; the abuses
oomnIained of have all been in his de-
nartment, and he is the responsible
head, 1t goes further and says: The
soorda1s are such that responsibility
cannot be confined to Alger. The Pre-
sident has become, in way, voluntary
~ resnonsible for the trouble by keep
ing Alger in place after his failure has
become known, and the party is in
voluntarily responsible, and must
suffer accordingly"
The vote in the State OF Vernon
shows the present mood of the people

Mexican Customs.

81. Diers left this afternoon over the
I. & 2. for his home in Crowel, Neb
| raska, after spending several weeks in
this portion of the country buying cat
tie. He purchased ! 900 head, to be
shipped to him in September. Mr..
Diers related what seemed to him very
peculiar happenings, oecasioned by the
application of Mexican law, while he
was in the City of Mexico.
The first thing that attracted his
office was the arrest of three Mex.
leans on q milk wagon. Somehow or
other one of the wheels came off and
one OF the Mexico Ms was thrown to the
ground with sufficient force to break
his arm. The Mexicans and mule
were arrested and the wagon left
standing in the middle of the street.
Orrin's circus was in town at the
time and of course M. Diers took it
A lady fell from the trapeze and was
being carried from the ring to the
dressing room when the whole outfit
was arrested.
One OF the most attractive features
OF his stay in Mexico, however, occur
red just before Mr.. Diers left. He says
eight mules h'tched to q heavy wagon
were coming along one of the srrincipal
streets when one of the leaders be-
came tangled in the harness and fell
down. The police arrived on the
scene and arrested all the
mules and the driver and took them
to t he police station and cent a gang Of
Mexicans down to drag the wagon o
police headquarters.
MIR. Disrs says the climate is very
agreeable In Mexico, but in other res
poets the country is simply horrible.

Keep Off the Grass.

While on the rounds the HERALD'S
man noticed that there had been two
additions made to the city plaza in the
last fsw days. On Saturday morning,
the day after the fret McGinty con-
cert, there were placed all around the
walks sign boards with instructions
painted thereon keep off the grass. :"
On the east side of the fountain circle
there has been placed q large box with
the sign "Free literature" across the
top of it. The HERALD reporter look
ed up Commissioner Wales, who, when
asked in regard to the grass signs. said:
''Yes, am going to enforce the law in
keeping the children and the public
generally off the grass"
On bling asked where he intended to
place the people on concert mig hts, Mr..
Wales said: "Well, we don't expect
to keep them off those nights, but we
are going to keep the people from plac-
ing chairs and benches on the lawn,
from breaking the limbs of the trees"
Mr.. Wales stated further that on last
Saturday morning his park cleaning
force hauled nearly wagon load OF
broken limbs out of the park. "Now,"
said Mr.. Wales, "the policeman has or
ders to arrest anyone found In the
trees or injuring them in anv way"
AS for the literature box, it has been
put there by permission granted by the
council to the ladies' society of one of
the churches, and viii be kept full of
the latest papers for the benefit OF

Private dispatches received in this

San Francisco will leave New Orleans
this morning. Therefore the first sec
ton, which will convey Col. Van Val

ternoon, and the other sections will pass
through the city during the night.
There has been considerable specula-
ton as to the probability of the col
Onel being ordered to the Philippines
with the regiment, as the time is so
near for his retirement that he would
hardly have time to get there before
he would be placed on the retired list
and have to return. There has also
been some discussion as to who will
succeed him. 1t is hoped that Lieut..
Col. Bailey will be the man, as be is so
much liked by the entire command.

The sharp report of two Winchesters
told Mr.. ConnOrs, palmer than words
could relate, that robbers had charge
OF the train and that he was practically
powerless. The train started the
bird time without any interference
and proceeded to q point about a mile
and half south of Belen, where the
robbers uncoupled the baggage car
and proceeded a couple of miles fur
work of relieving the safe of its con-
tents.
They were considerable enough to re-
move the safe before applying the dy-
