A Harsh English Criticism.

New York, Sept. 1.-The London Sat
urday Review which recently said that
Chauncey M. Depew was painted
puppet and a snob" has this to say of
Americans There are, of course,
many worthy private persons in the
United States, but what we have to
think of now are the people of that
country as represented in their social,
civil and political customs. Socially it
is sordid to the last degree; it's courts
of law and all it's civil institutions are
corrupt; the methods of it's political
parties are dishonest. 1t has contribut-
ed nothing to the self respect of hu-
mainly. On the contrary. it has shown
all the world to what depth of public
depravity civilization is capable of
descending"

The czar,s Peace pronosal

st. Petersburg. Aug. 30 BY order of
Emperor Nicholas. Count Muravieff
the foreign minister, handed to the
foreign diplomats at st. Petersburg a
note declaring maintenance of peace
and the reduction of the excessive arm

ideal for which all nations ought to
strive. The car considers the present
moment favorable for the inauguration
of a movement looking to this end, and
invites the powers to take part in an
international conference as means of
thus ensuring real and lasting peace

Mah4ar and Man.

Secretary Alger's attempts to show that
his subordinates and the soldiers themsel-
yes were to blame for the failures, privations
and mortality, more terrible than Spanish
bullets, which have followed our armies
from the moment they fell under the charge
of the War Department, have not made
favorable impression upon the public mind.
The people believe that, instead OF endeav-
oriDg to find excuses for the heads of the
medical, commissary, and q1artermaster
services, he should long since have dis
missed them and put more capable men in
their places. That he did not do so demon
strates his own inefficency and that he still
remains in Office devolyes the responsibility
upon President Mckinley. The time has
come for plain language upon this subject,
and it is beginning to be employed. The
independent Springfield Republican, which
supported the Hanna ticket in 1896 and has
been friendly to the Administration, now
says;
"Out OF the crucial test of the war with
Spain President Mckinley energies with
enduring honor" This is now the style
of the common remark, and which news
paper used these particular words is of no
consequence. Whatever Mr. McKinley's
honor may prove to be when the story OF
the concluded war is summed up, there
will remain upon it blot as detp as ever
President could wish not to wear 1t is
deepensd every day as we near the news
from Montauk and has been depend
day after uay ever since Santiago. OF
course no one lays the blame directly Cd
the President, but primarily it belongs to
him because OF his appointment OF the
Secretary of War from purely political
reasons, without regard to his record OF
character or capacity. Nobody in the
whole country regarded Russell A. Alger
seriously. His sieges of Republican con-
ven ions for the Presidential nomination
ere matters of sport !; the futile pur-
chases Of Southern negro votes were
treated as amusing yet these things
brought him TO stat in the
Cabinet and to the very seat where
strong man was wanted, a man of Stan
t. MS calIbre. Mr.. Mckinley must have
known that war was imminent, and yet
he appointed this cheap person, and, not
withstanding all that must have been
brought to his attention concerning the
shameful lack of all provision for the
feeding. the cloth ng and the medical treat
ment and nursing of our soldiers, the
President still retains the unworthy ser
want. Where is the Presidents humanity?
where his Wanted piety? where his simple
common sense? This is serious matter
1t has nothing to do with partisan poll
tics; it concerns the very life of the repub
lie. Will the people of the United States
pass without censure such criminal abuse
of their soldiers, their own body, as has
been visited upon the conquerors of San
| tiago?
