Now Put Up or Shut Up.

With an adroitness gained by long
practice the Dispatch has sought to
create the impression by indirect in
situation, by innuendo, by dark hints,
oy false suggestions, that Dr. Schiff-
mann, while a member of the school
board, made profit out of the purchase
of sites, the erection Of buildings or
the purchase of supplies. 1t has not
dared to say these things directly. IT
has had a wholesome experience in
libel suits. But it treads as closely to
the line Of liability as it dares. It has
done this knowing that there were
those who would go on where it left off
and draw the conclusion Of fact it
dared not charge openly.
The doctor meets these despicable
tactics in the only possible manner. He
invites an investigation. He makes the
proprietor of the Dispatch a score
spondent." He leaves with the editors
of the press Of the city, including that
Of the Dispatch, the investigation. He
puts his certified check for $1,000 in
their hands in evidence of his good
faith. He invites the most searching
investigation. If anywhere on his Off
cial record there Is the smirch of job
berry these gentlemen may deliver the
check to the park board for it's use as
a part Of the park fund, and he will
withdraw from the canvass. Now, will

Monkeying With the Ballot.

We print this morning a copy Of the
official ballot, for the purpose of show
ing the bungling manner in which the
city clerk has done his job of mixing
the candidates up so as to confuse the
voter of every ticket except the Re-
publican. 1t is the most bare-faced
juggle ever attempted 1t Is without
shadow of justification in any provi-
sion Of law relating to the order in
which the names of the candidates of
the various parties shall appear on the
ballot
The statute contemplates a regular
order fixed by the date of filing proper
nominating papers, The precedence is
determined in the arrangement OF the
candidates at the head of each ticket.
After them the candidates of the sew
eral parties for the other places are to
follow in the relative order of the heads
of their tickets. If the Democratic
Citizens candidate for mayor is last
among the candidates for that office,
all the subsequent candidates on that
ticket assume that position with rela-
ton to the candidates of the other par
ties.
An inspection of the ticket shows
plainly how the city clerk has jumbled
the intended orderly arrangement.
Among the mayoralty candidates Mr..
Schiffmann is last That position fixes
the places of all the other candidates
on his ticket. Instead Of that Yoerg is
second for comptroller, and Ekman
last; McNamee, for treasurer, is second
instead of Neal, Prohibitionist, and
Metzdorf is last instead of McNamee.
Ovitt, for the assembly, Is switched
away from his associates and sand
wiched between the Republicans and
Prohibitionists, while the remainder Of
the assembly nominees are given third
instead of fourth place. The corpora
ton attorney has stretched his wits to
ratify. in legal opinion, the jugglery
the clerk had fixed up before asking
for an opinion. The Republican man
ayers must feel their cause desperate

maica. They run side by side, but leaving
Jamaica one goes to one side of Porto Rico
and one to the other-one touching at San

goes to st Croix and thence directly to Trini-

Spanish fotilla. 1t then runs to Madeira
where neutral message might handhy be

nexed. The very foundation principle
of our government, the consent Of the
governed to the form Of their govern
ment, is to be deliberately violated.
And why? Ostensibly, the senator al
leges, ''as a war measure" Annex
islands two thousand miles from our
western shore, eight thousand miles
from the country with which we are at
war, as "a war measure" Add to our
eight thousand miles of open coast, now
insufficiently protected. islands that
would withdraw from the coasts YES
sells now too few to defend them.
Could pretense ever be more absurd?
Vastly more justifiable ON that ground
would be the seizure of Puerto Rico. st.
Thomas or Jamaica. If we are to
grab islands against the will Of their
inhabitants as "a war measure" then
let us grab islands in proximity to the
seat of war. The very absurdlty OF the
senator's excuse for this contemplated
action reveals the absence Of honest
motive back of this whole annexation
business. 1t Is but another piece OF
jobbery, to be contaminated while the
patriotism of the country diverts at
tention to another quarter.

Annexation by Stealth.

If there was little dependence to be
put upon the rumor that came from
San Francisco a few days ago that
Minister Sewall was going to raise the
flag of the United States over Hawaii
and take possession of the islands, left
to the support of it's own probability,
it gains credence from the statement
Of Senator Davis that the president
would be justified in doing 1t as a war
measure" 1t Is more than a proba-
bility that the next steamer from Hon
olulu will announce that a minister
hailing from the state of Maine will
attempt, with the cognizance of the
administration, the completion of the
conspiracy initiated by another min
lister also hailing from that delectable
state.
And 1T would not be a departure
from methods by which this contempt
ible scheme was started It would be
of a piece with the course of Minister
Stevens and the commander of the
Boston. 1t would be in keeping with
the methods by which a presidency
was gained on one pretense, only to
carry out another policy that had been
sidetracked by the course of events,
while ignoring entirely the promises
by which power was gained. 1t would
be the same defiant disregard of popu-
lar will, the same disregard of consti-
tutionaI restrictions which have char
acterized Republicanism when in DOW
er. The constitution requires a two
thirds vote for the ratification Of a
treaty. The anneXationists soon found
that they did not have this. They then
proposed annexation by joint resolu-
ticn, but they found that the one states
| man Maine has produced in a century
| would block their game in the house
1t is entirely in keeping with prece-
dent that they should now try to do
by stealth that which they cannot do
openly.
And our senior senator thinks the
president would be justified in annex
ing Hawaii against the inhibition of
| the constitution, against the majority
In congress, against the popular senti-
ment, and, what is of most Importance
against the protest of a majority of the
persons proposed to be forcibly an

Spain has been in position to give Europe
any sort CT news from Cuba that 1t might
think would help to create sympathy for its
cause. The existing cable lines from the
island to the continent are either owned by
Spain Spanish companies, according to a
statement by W. ]. Lloyd, cable expert for
the Western UGion. The United States gov
eminent has started out to cut those which
may interfere with war business by Dispatch
ing the Mangrove, fully equipped with ma
chinery for this purpose. The most natural
route for the messages from Gen. Blanco to
the home government at this time, were it
not for the insurgents, would be from Bata-
bano, across the island from Havana. They
would then go under the ocean to Cienfuegos,
probably being safer the sea bottom than
by the overland telegraph lines, which at
any time might be tapped by insurgents or
men friendly to the insurgents and the United
States From Cienfuegos there are two cables
to Santiago de Cuba and one overland tele-
graph line His communication might go
with safety over the two cables, with danger
over the land line, and with the three alter
natives 1t is not likely that the Mangrove will
undertake to Go any destruction until beyond
that point. II the plan is to cut of Cuba
from communication with requirements 1t
