SEN AToR PLATTS MISSION.
The Easy Boss Wants RoOseveIts
Report Suppressed.

Senator Thomas c. Platt. the boss OF
the Republican party in New York, was
in Washington yesterday on matters Of
Importance closely connected with the
canvass of Col Roosevelt for governor
the White House, and, after conference
with the President. he went over to the
War Department and had an interview
with Secretary Alger.
1t was learned from a trustworthy
source that the principal object of Sena-
tor Platt's visit here at this time is to
induce the President to come to Col
Roosevelt's rescue with Government pa
tronage and also to prevent the publi-
cation of Col. Roosevelts report on the
Santiago campaign until after the cleo
ton.
II is said that the President agreed to
give Mr. Platt full authority in the mat
ter of New York patronage until the
close of the campaign and that he will
also use his good offices to prevent the
Alger Relief Commission from asking
for the Roosevelt report until such time
when its publication can do no harm
politically.
Senator Platt felt sure that the Presi-
dent and Secretary Alger would hold
back the report if possible, but he was
not quite certain of the Relief Commits
sion A formal request from that august
body for Col. Roosevelt's report at this
time would be very embarrassing, and
that is what Mr.. Platt wished to avoid,
if possible.
Senator Platt declined to be interviewed
beyond stating that he was perfectly
confident of Col. Roosevelt's election as
governor"
1t is understood that he was soon con-
vinced that no apprehension need be felt
concerning the Alger Relief Commission;
that the Commission was absolutely un-
der the domination of the President and
Secretary of War, and would implicitly
carry out any suggestions received from
either quarter. This is about the situa-
ton briefly: Col. Roosevelt wishes to
have his report suppressed, as 1t antago-
nizes the Administration. whose support
ne needs; the Administration does not
want to have it get out before election,
as 1t contains some damaging statements
that could be used by the Democrats all
over the country. The Commission has
received hint and will act accordingly.

The Episcopal Church.

ArIOiH lne LdDCdsleT EAaInlner-)
The Episcopal Church is not so prominent as
others in political life or in voting strength
but it may surprise many to know that, though
its membership is relatively small and also in the
number of church edfces, it still stands next
to Catholics Methodsts and Baptists in the value
of church property. 1t has 100000 members and
$500 churches so near as can be told from sta
tistics but the value OF property is estimated at
Ss1 go 3l7, while all the Methodist divisions corn
bined with an aggregate membership of 5121, $50
and 5S451 churches, own property worth only
sSl32 l40,l79. The Baptist Church has 3,7S5, ,740
communicants and A, 707 churches, but only
So, 32s l23 worth of property. Even the Catholic
Church, with a total membership Of 7.474, $50 and
u z03 churches has property listed at only s11s-
069,746. Relatively, therefore, the Episcopal
Church is by far the wealthiest in the country
while the number of its communicates is not at
all proportionate to the power welded by it. 1t
can be seen from all this that the social, intel
lectual and monetary standing of this branch of
the Christian church makes its present session a
very important one to the nation at large.

Colonel Roosevelt would hardly be him
self If he did not seize the earliest occa-
sion to forget the kind congratulations
and good wishes of his late commander
General Wheeler, of General Fitzhugh
Lee, and many other Democratic COM
rades in the Cuban campaign. The
breath of their hearty greetings is not
cold before he denounces them, in COM
mon with all other Democrats. as "ene-
miles," and asserts that, if they could
have their way, they would ''repudiate
the war" There must really be some
thing very degrading about a chrome
nomination, to make a gentleman and q
soldier so forget himself.

We are afraid that some embarrassment
to the Administration will result from the
renewal of Spanish military operations in
the Philippines. territory generally pre-
sumed fin this country TO be in the pos
session of the United States. The hostile
landing of Spanish troops at Iloilo would
seem on the face of it to be a violation
of the armistice. and an impudent affront
10 our flag. AT the same time it should
be remembered that the Edmunds- Ire and
protocol conveys the idea of Spanish SOW
ereignty in the archipelago, outside OF
Manila and its environs, and perhaps the
enemy IS not so much to blame for TAX
Ing advantage of and acting upon its pc

The exclusion of newspaper reporters
from the meetings of committee of in

is assumed to be a reason that is not
creditable to interests involved in the

was appointed at the request of Sec
retary Alger can least afford to ex-
clude newspaper reporters. Only the
high personal standing of some of the

A soldier with full stomach and pipe in his

when his disease is such as to leave him in a

A little while ago the Spaniards were
the enemy; now 1t is the Democratic
party. There are other enemies, too on
this line of reasoning. The Republican
party has a most dangerous one In the
mouth of man guilty of such foolish
language.
The Spanish war was never a Repub-
lican nor a partisan war II is to the
everlasting credit of President McKin-
ley that his course throughout the
weeks of its existence was nobly nom
partisan. If II was not a partisan
movement 1t certainly was not a Re-
publican one. But for Democratic ag-
itation, and persistency in goading a
Republican Administration to recognize
and act upon it's duty to civilization
and humanity. there would not have
been any unpleasantness with Spain.
For any person to hold that Democracy
would or could repudiate a war of It's
own making. and one which, within six
months, has transformed an aggrega-
ton of provincial communities, living
under system Of ignorant Republican
Chinese tariff seclusion, into a world
power of the first magnitude, would be
self-confessed and blatant asininity.
There is grand scriptural injunc-
ton to the effect that we should not

gestion looking TO the improvement of
the sanitary condition of the camp was
ever avoided or ignored by him; and as
long as he remained in command the
condition of the camp was better than
later in its history. Much Of the spread
of typhoid fever was due TO the swarms
of flies that prevailed in the camp, fit

to the sinks that in many cases were
