WHOM DO THEY DOUBT

One of the Tribunes ''silver men,
who supported the st. Louis ticket and
platform, makes this peculiar state
ment in an interview:
Mckinley Republicans generally say
they have all along believed in free
coinage, but they have no confidence
in Democratic promises.
In the next breath he processes fear
of the Democratic tariff policy. Many
Republicans are making use of the
same excuses. Let us analyze them.
The man who voted for Mckinley in
the hope of securing aid for silver,
demonstrated his lack of confidence in
Republican promises. The one who ex-
poets 10 see the Republican party bring
about free and Independent coinage
of silver, expects to see the Republican
party break it's platform pledges. Who
entertains a lingering hope of silver's
restoration under Republican rule has
no faith in Republican declarations. 1t
is not the Democratic party that he
doubts.
There is another evidence of this to
be found in the excuses of gold-sup
porting silver men," They are afraid
OF the tariff policy of the Democrats.
They would not feel that fear if their
lack of confidence in Democratic prom
Uses We're kept in mind.
One minute they say that Democrats
will not do as they agree. Next min
ute they express alarm because the
Democrats will do as they agree.
"SilVer men" who stand upon the
St Louis platform will have to present
additional proofs of sincerity. The ones
already given won't hold shucks.

RIoTTNG AT SANTIAGO.

Every American is proud Of the
achievements of the army at Santiago,
for they showed what manner of men
American soldiers are. Those achieve
naents challenged the admiration of the
world and drew forth praises from for
eign military critics who came TO watch
and criticise, and not to bestow praises.
But things are wearing a somewhat
different aspect at Santiago now. Gen
eral Wood, the military governor. has
increased the local police force with
additions from various regiments. The
reason Cor this is that there has been
trouble from soldiers who have dis
obeyed orders, there having been sew
eral riots. at least one murder and
much drunkenness.
All that should be promptly and rig
orously repressed. The soldiers guilty
of disobedience to orders and engaging
in boisterous and rioteus conduct
should be sternly dealt with, for they
are bringing disgrace upon the Amerl-
can government and people. What
must the nations of the world think
of following up a war for freedom and
humanity's sake with such scenes as
are being enacted at Santiago by some
of our soldiers?
There has been too much lax dis
cipline in the volunteer army in par
ticular. and it is time it stopped. Moth
ing could be more disgraceful than the
assault Of the Tennessee volunteers at
San Francisco on a negro the other
day The men engaged in the affair
should be given the full extent of the
law, no matter how severe the punish
ment. 1t is time that the trifing was

ALGER AT JACKSONVILLE.
Ae vigorously Defends His Course
During the Late War.

Secretary Alger and party spent the day
yesterday visiting General Lees camp at
Jacksonville, Fla. At the conclusion of his
!abors, Secretary Alger said, in response to
a question:
Il am highly delighted with all I have
seen and am very agreeably surprised at
the conditions that l find existing in Camp
Cuba Libre.
A luncheon was rendered to the Secretary
and party at noon, and in response to q
toast drunk standing. after paying some
compliments to General Lee, he referred to
the war as follows:
The organizing and equipping of an
army of 2500U0 men and carrying on a war
n two continents in the space of three
months has been 81 tremendous undertake
ing. The Secretary of War has been ably
assisted in the undertaking by the surgeon
general and the Quartermaster' depart
ment. They have been criticised but not

neen; yet | know the work they have ac-
Compiished has been little short of miracu-
.ous. When this war began the clothing
that the men have worn was on the backs
uf animals. There was no ammunition. no
transportation; there was nothing beyond
The War Department but a great, rich ma
rOn burning with patriotism. Almost in a
night an army was organized and equipped
that paralyZed the nation with which we
had 10 deal, and has awakened the admi-
ration of the world. | have no apology to
make for what has been done. L am willing
TO let the record of the campaign stand and
peak for itself.
United States Senator Morgan said to me
aefore he lett for the Hawaiian Islands:
The world has never seen, nor will it see
4gain, the mobilization of such an army
and the accomplishing with it what has
Jeen done with this one in such a short
period"
Surgeon General Sternberg accorded an
interview and said that he did not think
should be held responsible for the mis-
,akes of all the officers under him. and yet
lie had been criticised for all that had hap
,Jeled. he said that every reQulsition that
aad come to his Office for supplies had been
promptly t1lled. and that he did not know
Of but one item that had been cut from d
IequiSition and that was for chewing gum.
ttls department had been ready to meet
every demand, and if the supplies wanted
..ad not been asked for, it was not his fault.
Regarding female nurses, he said that
ms position had been misunderstood. He
mad been in favor of them from the start
and did not know how it would be possible
70 get along without them. AS to the hos
p.tals here he was highly pleased and
iound the sick being well cared for. In
contrast to other camps, the purity of the
water supply was unquesuonaDe. He had
made inquiries at random and had not
neard single complaint during the entire
day.
