There can no longer be any doubt OF the
authenticity of the Kansas City Stars in
teryiew with Gen. Miles OF Of its sub
stantial accuracy. Gen. Miles has not
only admitted both, but he has repeated
to another newspaper virtually the same
accusations that appeared in the Star. 1t
cannot be denied that the Generals way
of getting his complaints to the attention
of the war office is unmilitary and not en-
tirely dignifled. There may be extenuating
circumstances however. It. may be that
the only way some officers can get recog-
milton from the war office is by forcing
it in some such methud as this. Gen. Miles
is not the first officer to resort to the
newspapers to notify the war department.
of his demands or complaints. 1t will
be remembered that before Gen. Merritt
accepted the command of the Manila ex-
petition he gave the secretary of war to
understand through the medium OF
newspaper interview that he would accept
only on compliance by the secretary with
certa n conditions as to the number of
troops and kind of troops which he laid
down in the interview. Gen. Shafter, If
he did not originate the round robin
demand to have the troops removed from
Santiago to the United States, was at least
IA party to it as were half a dozen other
generals. All these officers knew perfect
Iy we'll that these were unmilitary
methods and might subject them to court
martial and punishment, yet a II of them,
old and experienced soldiers as they are,
deliberately resorted to them. Who will
say that if these officers were convinced
by experience that the only way to get the
recognition which theirarequests and COM
plants were entitled to was by bringing
public sentiment to bear, they were not
justified in rosorting to that method? We
do not know that this was the case, but
if it should be shown to be, the people
will be likely to take very charitable
view of these apparent breaches of mill
tary rules.

All that the figures Of the Vermont
election show is that there was great lack
of interest among the voters. in conse-
quence Of which many did not go to the
polls at ALL AS compared with the fig
ures of four years ago the Republican
vote shows some falling off, while the
Democratic shows q slight increase, but
the Republican vote in 1894 was unusual
" large for an off year, and the Demo
cratic unusually small. Really the Re
publican and Democratic votes are about
an of year average, showing that the two
parties maintain the same numerical re-
lations as for many years past, that is
about four Republicans to one Demo-
cratic. The increase of Democratic repre-
sentation in the Legislature is probably
due to the fact that many of the Demo-
cratic candidates espoused high license
instead of prohibition, and by SO doing
attracted some votes from the younger
Republicans.

"sUBJscT PROVINCES"
Carl schurz Protests Against Any Foreign
Possessions.

Hon. Carl Sohurz contributes to the
September Century Thoughts on Ameri-
can Imperialism" After protesting
against American retention of Cuba or
Porto Rico. Mr.. Schurz says:
The admission as states Of. the Philip
pines, the Carolines and SO on-that is,
the transformation of tthe United States
of America into 1.-THE United States of
America and Asia''-would. suppose
appear too monstrous to lie seriously
thought of even by the widest imperial
ist.. Those countries with an aggregate
of about 10000, 900 inhabitants, would
have to be- governed as subject provinces,
with no expectation of their becoming
self governing states.
This means governed without the con-
sent of the governed. 1t means the very
things against which the Declaration OF
Independence demonstrated, and against
which the fathers rose in revolution. IL
means that the American people would
carry on over large subject populations
kind of rule against which their own
Government is thesmost solemn p~oteso,
it may be said that those countries ana
populations cannot be governed IN any
other way; but Is not that the most con
elusive reason why this republic should
not attempt to govern them at allY
Against such an attempt there are o5neI
reasons hardly less vital. No candid CD
server of current events in this IepupIlc
will DENY that the exercise of more or 1855
arbitrary rule over distant countries Wi,
be apt to produce most pernicious enscts
mon our public morals. Inc Ia[1her
away those subject countries are from
close public observation, the richer ana
more tempting their natural resources,
the more unfit their populations for sell
Government and the more pronounced the
race autagonisms, the more unrestra1ned
will be tte cupidity of the governing race
the less respect will there be for the right
and interests of the subject races, and the
more unscrupulous and rapacious the
rnIe over them-and this in spite of laws
for their protection which may be fair on
their face and well intended In thelr
meaning.
There has been much complaint of the
influence welded in our Government by
rich and powerful corporations such as
the Sugar Trust. The more or less arbl-
trary control exercised by our Govern
ment over distant countries with great
resource will inevitably stimulate the
multiplication of speculative enterprises
with much money behind them, subject
ing the Government in all its branches tc
constant pressure and manipulation
which cannot fail to produce most bane
full effect upon our politics. Or suci
things we have experience enough "
warn US.

FIGHT FOR THE GUARDIANSHIP
Congressman Cooper Not Yet Sure of the
appointment.

| CONGRESSMAN Cooper Not Yet Sure of the
Appointment
There are no new developments in
the contest over the craftsmanship of
the important committee of Rivers and
Harbors, for which Representative
Cooper is candidate, but the situation
presented makes it evident that there
is lively fight going on and that it
seems by no means certain that Mr.
Cooper can win, Notwithstanding the
energetic fight that he and his friends
are putting up. 1t is said that Speaker
Reed is somewhat favorable to Repre-
sentative Burton, of Cleveland, who
stands next below Mr.. Cooper in the
order of the committee list, and the
Ohio friends of the Cleveland man are
putting up tremendous5fght. 1t is
also said that the old:Question as to the
Pacific coast harbors at San Pedro and
Santa Monica, about which there has
been row in the committee and in
both Houses of Congress for years, is
being crowded into the contest, and
that the Southern Pacific railroad peo-
pie, having been opposed by Mr.
Cooper in the past, are now doing all
they can to prevent his appointment.
There also appears to be division in
the ranks of the Republican members
of the committee, and although by
rank Mr. Cooper would be entitled to
the place, several committeeman are
said to be favorable to Mr.. Burton.
While it is not settled that Mr.. Cooper
will fail to win the place, it is apparent
that he and his friends must put up a
hard fight TO win, as Mr.. Burton is
very popular and he has strong backing.

The United States to Be at Peace
With the World.

Every indication points to an early peace
settlement between our government and the
Kingdom of Spain. and there Is no reason
now why we should not have peace. The
war in a short while will only be a matter
of history.
What 1 can not understand Is, how any
man, having dependents upon him, can
have peace of mind, when he has neglected
his sacred duty In not providing for his
loved ones by investing in a policy of life
insurance as issued by the oldest, largest,
strongest and most progressive of Massa-
chusetts companies.
Massachusetts is re-eminently ahead of
all matters pertaining to the business of
life insurance, and the New England Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company of Boston,
Mass, by its liberal non-forfeitable con-
tracts and large annual dividends, is pre-
eminently ahead of the insurance world
