The president has appointed on the
peace commission Senators Davis, OF
Minnesota, and FRYE, of Maine, notwith-
standing the provisions OF paragraph If
section 6, article |, OF the constitution,
which reads: "No senator or represent
alive shall, during the time for which he
was elected, be appointed to any civil
office under the authority of the United
States WHICH SHALL HAVE BEEN CREATED,
or the emolnments whereof shall have
been increased, during such time" But
then the Republicans are not in the
habit OF paying much attention to the
constitution if it stands in the way OF
their plans.

ALGER'S RECORD IN THE WAY

Senator Hanna saws the record of the
war will be the Republican slogan during
the compaign. The way the Republican
press is pumping shot into Secretary Al
gers conduct Of the war department dur
ing that time will be stumbling block
to Mr.. IIanna's plan. Not only are the
Republican journals after Mr.. Alger, but
the Army and Navy Register IL purely
military journal. That paper says:
1.-The only creditablc feature about the
circumstance is that no one attempts to
conceal the reason for sending IS regi-
ments to Porto Rico at Il time when there
is abundant promise oi peace, and when
the American force in that territory is
overwhelmingly superior to that of the
enemy. 1t is something more than iarci-
cal to send these regiments TO Porto Rico,
and it is an insult to the brave and gal
LIANT men who compose them to acknowl-
edge thai, die COMMAND is made up and
is assigned TO duty in Difference to the
demands Of state politicians. 1t converts
the volunteers into thing for the politi-
clans it makes them the tool OF designing
and conscicnceless men. The troops
have every reason to resent it. 1t is most
inadequate compensation for their lost
opportunities that they should be dragged
across Porto Rico under the ridiculous
guisc Of invaders when they themselves
know that they arc offering military
tribute TO the politicians at home, and
their march under departmental orders is
no more an operation Of war than crumbs
thrown with ostentation from the once
heavily laden table constitute hospitality
and this supplemental campaign might
be otherwise lIkeued to the smile"
The Portland Orcgonian well says
"This, by the way, is charge which
Secretary Alger sapology entirely ignores.
Probably he is foolish enough to believe
that the country will honor him for pay
ing his political debts at the expense OF
lives and treasure" 1t will not be neces-
sary to answer Mr.. Ilanna's plan with
Democratic criticism, there will be plenty,
and to spare, from Republican and in
dependent sources.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington. Aug 20, 1898.

Washington, Aug %, 1898.
"Let Admiral Dewey dictate our policy
towards the Philippine islands" That
is the sum aud substance OF the advice
that some of his most level-hcaded friends,
who have observed the fact that Dewey
has not made single mistake from the
day he destroyed the Spanish fleet to the
day he forced the surrender OF Manila,
have been giving Mr.. Mckinley, who APP
parently is still without policy Of his
own. 1t has been urged upon him that
Dewey during the nearly four months he
has been in Manila bay, has thoroughly
iamliarized himself with the condition
on the islands, and would be better able
than any nan who is not there, to say
what relations we ought to maintain to-
wards them. 1t has also been pointed
out to him that the public confidence in
Dewey's Judgment and patriotism would
cause his decision to be rec ived without
question by the people. All of these
things Mir. Mckinley has acknowledged 3,
and he would doubtless be glad to adopt
and act upon the advice were it not that
some of his political advisers have aroused
his jealousy Of Admiral Dewey rs a pos
sible rival in 1909, and told him that
Dewey must he kept in the background
ii he wanted to keep him out OF the
White House.

# man who was at one time considered
competent to fill the position Of chief
clerk, the civil service commission has
dismissed the man for criticism OF his
superior. in o0ice-au awful crime, in the
minds OF his superio s. The aforesaid
criticism consisted OF an answer made by
the clerk, L, d. Bailey. to public delama-
, ton Of himself by the commission. The
commission has never forgiven Bailey foi
having exposed some OF its l!umbuggcry
when witness before senate commit
tee, and has probably wasted much time
highly paid for by the peoples money, in
scheming how to humble him, or push
him out of Office, without seeming to be
actuated by any other desire than the
good OF the service, only to make fizzle
of it at last. Bailey may haye deserved
dsmissal-many think the whole civil
service outfit does-but he should have
been given a proper cause for his dis
charge and it should have been so en-
tered on the record.

That there is no limit to Spanish gall
was shown by the unofficial objection
made by the government OF Spain to the
selection Of Senator Davis, of Mimi,
chairman OF the senate committee on for
eign relations, to be one OF the American
peace commissioners, because his anti
Spanish views were too strong and TOO
we'll known. We're such an objection
held to be valid, Mr.. Mckinley would
nave to choose for peace commissioners
such men as Senator Wellington, of Md,
ard Senator Hale, of Me-, about the only
two senators who made their lriendliness
towards Spain conspicuous during the
debate which preceded the war. 1t will
be ali up with Mr.. McKinlcy il every one
OF the five peace commissioners chosen
by him are not known to be strongly
anti-Spanish in their views. Already
there has been some criticism Of the Sc
lection Of Secretary Day, for that very
reason but it has remained within bounds
because it is known that Mr.. Day will
advance the opinions OF Mr.. Mckinley,
and not his own, when the peace COM
mission meets. Another exhibition of
Spanish gall, which was probably put out
for feeler, was the attempt Of Sagasta
to appear to take it for granted that the
Spanish ambassador at Paris would be
the presiding officer at the deliberations
of the peace commission. His talk merely
caused a smile in Washington. AS the
victorious power, the U. $. has the right,
not only to name the presiding officer, il
lch be needed, but to insist that its
commissioners take precedence in every
way over those of Spain, and Mr. Mckin-
ley is not likely to waive those rights he
knows too we'll how such waivers would
be received in this country. Already
there is growing impression that we
have been entii ely too lenient in all our
dealings with the Spaniards, and the
people are apt to call speedy halt be-
fore the thing goes much further.

FIRED ON THE WOUNDED.
Our Troops Claim Spanish sharpshooters
Did Such Acts.

pa Such Acts.
Kingston, Jamaica, July 6.--One feat
ure OF the fight which has aroused great
condemnation among the American
troops is the act OF the Spanish in hav-
ing sharpshooters in the trees along
the line of march of the American
troops. OF course if the sharpshooters
had fired on armed men they would
have done nothing more than might
have been expected, but one Spanish
marksman from his post fired on
wounded men and on men carrying the
wounded to the rear. Several members
of the ambulance corps were wounded
in this manner and two wounded men
who were toiling along to the rear We're
shot and killed. Some of these marks
men were posted less than half mile
from the American camp. Colonel Lis
comb of the Twenty-fourth infantry
said: Il was fired upon several times
by men in trees and six bullets flew
very close to me-"
Later in the day a company of cav
airy was sent along to clear them out,
and the work was effectively done Tne
gallantry Of the general officers was
conspicuous during the fighting. MAJOR
General Wheeler. who was seriously
indisposed the night before the battle,
was suffering from an attack of fever
On the morning of the fight, but as soon
as he was aware that the United States
troops were likely to be engaged, he
ordered an ambulance to convey him
to the front. His surgeons attempted
to dissuade him, but the old general was
obdurate and to the front he went. The
ambulance once there, the sound of
fighting restored his breath and in a
short time he was calling for his horse
and personally directed his division in
the attack on the great redoubt
