Is 1t War or Politics?

The suspicion of politics hangs over
this war, and abhorrent as is the
thought of making the lives of men
pawns on the party chess board, the
lives of our enthusiastic, impetuous,
freedom-loving boys a sacrifice to the
game of party ascendency, such thought
will intrude itself. The desperate posi-
ton of the Republicans last December:
the admission of the leaders when con-
gress met that at least one hundred con-
gressional seats held by their party
were doubtful; the dependency re-
Elected in the press; the decision at
Washington that something must be
done to divert attention, to get people
to thinking of something else, joined
to the conduct Of the campaign since
lend foundation to the suspicion The
starving reconcentrados, for whom the
war was undertaken, have been left
to starve on still shorter supplies, while
the soldiers who were to relieve them
lie in camp, and the transports that
were chartered to carry them over the
short stretch of sea lie moored at their
wharves.
From official and what may be term
ed reverberatory quarters, comes the
excuse that it would not do to send
our unacclimated soldiers to Cuba at
this season of the year; that they would
die of fevers like cattle with the muir
rain, and that we must wait until fall
before sending them over, a date that
comedies with that Of the congression-
al elections too closely to save the ex-
cuse from the suspicion of politics.
But this excuse for delay is shown
to be baseless by the activity of the
administration in rushing $1,000 men
off to Manila. Havana lies "a degrees
north Of the equator, Manila but IS.
There is rainy season now in the
Philippines as in Cuba. The topography
of the two islands is the same, noun
tain, plain and marsh. One Is as I'M
healthful as the other, Manila more
so because of it's proximity to China,
where the bubonic plague is now pre-
vailing. If unseasoned troops can be
| sent to Manila they can be sent to
Cuba. If they cannot be sent to the
| latter island for climatic and hygienic
reasons, they cannot be sent to the
Philippines. The administration can
| lay the suspicion of war for politics
| only by an early invasion of Cuba.

I'M W0MAN's REALM.
FEMININE ASPIRATIONS.

Rush Medical college is struggling hard
with the woman question. The matter of
admitting female students to the CO lege was
discussed at recent meeting of the trus.e s,
but without reaching any conclusion
1t is generally admitted that afhlis on
with the University of Chicago makes CO.
education indispensable at some time but
there is disposition in some quarters to
defer it as long as possible. The ostensib'e
reason is that the equipment of the insti-
tuition would have to be doubled in order to
accommodate the women students and in the
present condition of the college finances this
is out of the question.
While this objection is made with all sin
certify, there are members of the faculty
who have other objections. Some Of them
are opposed to co-education at medical co.,
leges. and others are opposed to the educa-
ton of women as physicians at all. For all
these reasons. 1t seems safe to say that there
will be no co-education this year.

Times-Herald. that women are distinctly

Neither Managed Nor Edited.

We have seen that the manager of
the Minneapolis Journal does not man
age, and now We find out that the
editor does not edit Wednesday even
ing the editor administered reproof
for the "On to Cuba" press and said
Of or to them:
In fact there never was before in the his
tory of this or any other nation such mar
velous demonstration Of ability to prepare for
war. In one month a nation without warlike
equipments CT warlke plans has been put on
fighting basis; an army of nearly 200 900 men
has been modified and made ready to strike.
The Washington correspondent of
that unmanaged and unedited paper, in
a dispatch experimenting to and ex-
planatory Of the proclamation calling
for $4,000 more troops, printed in the
same issue of the Journal, says:

REGULARS RECRUITING.
Mai. Wilkinson VIII Do All the

Capt Cooke, U. S. A., Of the Third

Wilkinson took charge of the recruiting
rendezvous here.
for the duty, as he is thoroughly ac-
quafnted in the Northwest and knows
the needs of his regiment. He will do
all of the recruiting in Minnesota for
his regiment, having both the st. Paul
and Minneapolis stations at his COM
mand.
It is anticipated that the call made
yesterday for $4,000 additional troops
will stimulate the recruiting for the
regular army, as many men will pre-
fer going into the regular organization
to taking a place in the volunteers.
Maj. Wilkinson will spend a couple
of hours at the rendezvous in the
Phoenix building every morning and
the balance of his time in Minneapolis.
The rendezvous here will be in charge
Of Sergeant Armindinger in the alb
sence Of the officer.
Yesterday ten recruits were accept
ed by the recruiting officer, but only
three of them had passed the medical
examination up to the time Of the clos
ing of the office. It was practically
certain that the rest would pass, as
they had been satisfactory in the pre-
liminary examination. The men passed
were Machel x. Krois, st. Paul;
Charles Larsen, st. Paul, and Otto
Berieter, Wisconsin.

FOR RUNAWAY HORSES.

Miss Fannie c. Grothjean, of New York,
has invented a continuance by which an I'M
manageable horse may be instantly detached
from the carriage. Miss Grothjean gives a
curious account Of the development of her
idea.
She was at that time living with her
mother at her home in Portland, Or, and
was recovering from severe Illness She
was lying in bed thinking of nothing In par
ticular, when without any intention to do so
she began to act as if she were holding reins
and driving. Suddenly it appeared to her
that the horse bolted and that, throwing the
reins over the dashboard, she turned a lever
which set the animal and the shafts free
Then she lost consciousness for time
Upon coming to her senses she was able to
make a drawing Of the continuance through
the aid of which she set the horse free. In
a day or two she consulted a lawyer. the
result being that she had model made and
dispatched to Washington. Three months
later her device was patented. It has since
been exhibited twice and has acted salts

also $40 more than Secretary Herbert,
after an exhaustive investigation, in
which he had the testimony Of experts,
reported that plate could be prof ably
made for.
The evidence ELECTED by Secretary
Herbert's investigation showed that at
the very time the Carnegie Bethlehem
combine was getting $500 ton from the
United States. they were furnishing
Russia with the same kind Of plate at
less than half that price. And 1t was
during the time that enormous figure
was being paid that 1t was discovered
that some of the plate delivered and
accepted and placed on our ships was
defective, that blow-holes had been
plugged, and the combine submitted to
q fine, imposed in a reduction of their
compensation, Of some $4,000. sum
half that recommended by Secretary
Herbert. During the time congress
was trying to escape the grasp Of the
combine a former congress had i'm
providently created, another company,
the Illinois Steel company, offered to
contract for the making Of all the ar

This was also synchronous with the
rupture of the steel rail and billet pool,
broken by the Carnegie company, to
which the Illinois concern was party.
It's offer was a return blow, and 1T
brought about an understanding.
When it came to making contracts the
Illinois company hedged its offer about
with conditions the department could
not accept, a twenty-year contract and
payments to be made in gold. The re-
suit was to leave the navy at the
mercy Of the combine, and it now
makes complete surrender.
