SHAFTER'S REMARK MISUNDER-
STOOD.

It is evident that the remark about the
Cubans being unfit for self government,
which Cen shafter made at Camp on
ward last Sunday. was misunderstood, or
else there is a deliberate purpose in some
quarters 10 give il a meaning different
from that which he intended. For in
stance the New York Times of last
said: "Why is Gen. Shafter so sure that
all Cubans are fools or scoundrels?'
Gen. Shafter said nothing that justified
the foregoing question. 1t is doubtful If
he thinks all Cubans are either fools or
scoundrels. He did not say they were
fools or scoundrcls, and what he did say
could not be fairly construed to have such
a meaning What he said was that they
are wholly unfit for self government, and
it is pretty safe TO say that he is not alone
in holding that opinion.
There may be many reasons why he
thinks they are unfit for self government,
no one of which calls into question their
ability or integrity. The better class of
Cubans may not constitute a sufficiently
large portion of the population to Justify
the opinion that they could control a gov
eminent in Cuba If one should be estab-
lished there. Again. the Cubans have not
had any experience with government
based upon the will of the people. Their
character is not of the kind that justifies
the belief that they would make a success
Of self government. Spain tried a republic
and made failure of it, and the South
American countries. populated by people
who speak the Spanish language, are
subject to frequent revolutions. But no
one thinks of calling either the people Of
Spain or of the South American republics
fools or scoundrels. No, Gen. Shafter did
not say that all Cubans are fools or scoun-
drels. and he did not say anything that
could be construed as to mean that he
holds that opinion of them.

Alderman Krouslkoff seems 20 think that
a competent superintendent of public works
cannot be had for less salary than was
paid 20 the Commissioner of Public Works.
We do not know what the purpose of the
Council in the matter IS but we fell safe
in saying that for $3.50. or at least $3.50
year a man of first class ability for that
kind of work can be obtained. The fact
must not be overlooked that the position
does not require a man having special
or technical knowledge Neither is there
any special responsibility connected with
the position. All the responsibility for
public improvements and for the amount
of money spent VIII rest on the Council.
The only thing that the superintendent
of public works will have to do is to di-
rect the work mapped out by the city. He
would have, of course, 10 hire the men
necessary to do the work and ne will have
to keep his accounts straight. man VINO
can &c. out Of laborers the full amount
of labor for which the city pays viii be
worth more to the city as superintendent
of public works than man who has the
cational institution in the country can fur
nish.
And it would be well to remember that
the chances of the kind of a man that is
wanted getting the place will be no better
if the salary is 81, 500 instead of $3.50. At
whatever the salary is fixed there will
be plenty of applicants for the place-so
many, in fact, that the Council will be
bothered to know which one 10 chose. In
fact, it will finally choose the applicant
who has the most influence, unless among
the applicants there should be some par
ticuiar one Known to have special fitness
for the position.
The Council should keep in mind the
fact chat this city is not able to bear the
salaries and other expenses which are be
ing gradually loaded upon it. Steadily
they are being increased and. as far as
the public is able 10 see, the city gets 30
better service than when the expenses,
were far below what they are now. Did
the city, for instance, ever have a better
health officer than the late DR.. Mcfarland?
And yet the salary of the health officer
is much above what it was in his time.
We do not mean TO be understood as find
ing fault with the present health officer. 1t
will be admitted that he Is a competent
and conscientious official. The same
might be said of the superintendent Of
water works, and yet the salary of that
office has been raised considerably above
what it was a few years ago. We men
ton these offices only to show that the
expenses of the city are all the time be-
ing increased, and yet the city is not get
ting any more service that is of special
benefit TO the people. If we are to build
up interests here that viii sustain a large
population we must have lower taxes and
lower living expenses. That is a state
ment which most Of those who have
thought of the matter will admit to be
correct.

A CLEAN CUT ISSUE.

! The bold stand which the President has
taken in favor Of retaining possession of
the Philippines and the qually bold stand
which Cob Bryan has taken in favor Of

fairs presents an issue on which there is
going 10 be considerable changes in party
lines There is no doubt that the peace

bring chaos. Both Republicans and
Democrats admit that. Therefore,
while there wiz be opposition to the
treaty, and perheps a heated discussion of
it, there wiz be but few votes against it,
After it is ratified. however, there will be
a great political battle over the policy to
be adopted in regard to the Philippines
And all the Democrats viii not be on one
side and all the Republicans on the other
Many Democrats favor the colonial policy
and many Republicans are against it. The
fact that Gen. Merritt a Democrat, and
Admiral Dewey are in favor of the Colo
NAL policy wall influence some Democrats
TO favor il. Besides, there are Democrats
who think il is the policy that would be
lOI lilt ueSl lilltttSAo VI Allc COUNTY II
is said that Congressman Livingston has
list of seventeen Democratic members of
the House who approve that policy
On che other hand, some of the most
distinguished of the Republican leaders are
against it. They are not only talking
against it, but they are condemning the
President for announcing it as the policy
of the administration. 1t is generally be
lieved that il took the President long
time to reach the conclusion that it would
be for the best interests of the country for
our government 10 have control of the
Philippines, and that he only reached it
after he had visited different parts of the
country and found out what he believed
was the feeling of the mass of the peo-
pie in regard to the matter.
But is it not probable chat the President
is mistaken in thinking that the great ma
jority of the people want this country to
retain possession of the Philippines? 1t is
true probably that hearty applause greets
him when he says that it is the duty of
this country to hold on to the Philippines,
and give them a better government than
Spain provided for them, but it is doubt
full if the great majority of those compos-
ing the Presidents audiences are yet pre-
pared TO express an opinion on this ques-
lion of a colonial policy, or else they are
influenced now to a much greater extent
than they will be a little later on by the
statement sometimes made by the Pres-
dent that 0ur fac should etaU vharaver

We do not believe that a majority of the
people viii favor the colonial policy when
they understand fully what it Is, and what
it means to this country. The discussion
of that policy has already begun-a policy
which may be the great political issue of
the campaign of 1900.

Mayor Meldrim is not a candidate for
reelection. We stated a couple of weeks
or more ago that he would not be- His
professional and business engag ements
demand all of his time. He has made it
a rule not to permit his private affairs
TO interfere with his duties as Mayor. As
long as he holds the Office he feels that
he must give all the time to it which a
faithful and efficient discharge of its du-
ties require. Now that he can retire from
the position with dignity and credit-with
the feeling that he has been a faithfA
and an efficient official-he has determined
to do so.
To considerable extent his admlnistra-
ton was handicapped by the commissions.
He had very little power. Things he
wanted TO do for the public good, he
couldn't do because the commissions
stood in the way of his doing them. II
will not be forgotten. however, that il
was during his administration, and largely
through his efforts, that the system of
house drainage was begun. For many
years the people had felt that the one
great thing which the city needed was
house drainage. Mayor Meldrim was de
termined that it should be undertaken
during his administration. 1t is now be-
ing constructed and will be completed
within the next three years. In fact, il
may be completed within year if
pending proposition is accepted. The
credit for inauguratng such a great inn
provement is something to be proud Of
that is, if it should be successful, and
there is no reason to think it will not be.
1t will be recalled that Mayor Meldrim
became a candidate for Mayor at time
when fractional feeling ran high and at the
earnest solicitation of the leaders of his
faction. fractional feeling has about dis
appeared, and that is another reason
why he feels that he can now retire from
municipal politics and give all of his time
to his law business which must have suf-
fered somewhat because of the time given
to the business of the city.
The next Mayor will have more power
than he had. and hence may do some
things which he could not but we are
sure that his successor will not ,be more
earnest and conscientious in looking after
the citys health and in promoting the
city's business and general welfare than
he has been.

Presidents party to the South, and the
demonstrations which were given to Gen.
Wheeler, have given rise to Suggestions
of Mckinley and Wheeler as national

impossible. While the President and the

are about as far apart politically as men
