Mr.. Bailey heard from home Yesterday.
and, in effect, he stands rebuked The de-
mocrdcy Of Texas refused his leadership on
the subject of territorial expansion. 1t de-
cEned to take the illogical position of de-
claring for the Nicaragua canal and at the
same time against providing for making
American control of it complete. Nothing
was said about Hawaii doubtless because
the acquisition of that territory is an ac-
complished fact. but Porto Rico was men
toned by name as desirable territory for
the United States TO possess. The vote
against Mr.. Bailey was two to one.
These proceedings are significant, and
especially so when read in connection with
the proceedings Of the republicans of Indi-
ana, who also met in state convention YES
terday- In the one state as in the other.
and by the one party as by the other. the
Nicaragua canal was Endorsed. as were the
steps necessary to its building and effective
operation by the United States. The BULL
Ing OF the canal, therefore, may be accept
ed as a national project, which, as the
war for free Cuba has done, will receive
the support of both political parties. And
so 1t must necessarily be carried to success
in the near future.

tention, as showing that the really In
portant division OF sentiment in the coun-

the question of the future of the Philip
pines Free government in tudicious time
Tor Cuba, the Nicaragua canal and all that
goes logically with that enterprise, and a
navy meeting the requirements of the ex

alike the unqualified support of a large ma
1oriry OF both parties and of all sections.
But there Is halt at the Philippines. and
the President has done well in allowing

The extent to which Mr. Bailey as a par

feat at home is a question. 1t is clear.
however, that the democracy will not fol-
low In way which. as blazed by himself
by MI Jones of Arkansas and by Mr. White

ditch. Mr.. Bailey and those who hold with
him Will have to reverse and revise them
selves.

| The prevalence of typhoid fever at Camp
| Alger furnishes certain critics in various
| parts of the country with the suggestion
| that the disease owes its origin and spread
! to the generally unwholesome conditions
| with which the camp is surrounded, and
| slurs are cast at the vicinity of Washing
| ton suffering from an unwholesome
| climate. Nothing is further from the truth
| Camp Alger is situated, in the first place,
a considerable distance from Washington
Moreover. it is in healthful region, where
| every condition of nature is calculated to
aid the human system in resisting disease
! But Camp Alger suffered at the start from
| the error of those who selected it as the
| site for the abiding place of an army of
| men from all sections of the country with
| out due consideration for the need of a
| water supply other than that afforded by
| wells To this initial error was added the
misfortune that typhoid fever was imported
| into the camp from one and another of the
| state camps, and that the disease germs
| thus brought from other quarters found
| lodgment in the soil, and thence passed.
| presumably, into the water supply that was
| drawn from the very foundations of the
living quarters of this army.
| Washington is more associated with
the typhoid epidemic at the camp than
| with the yellow fever outbreak at Santiago
| save so far as it shares in the danger thus
created by human error and misfortune
The climatic conditions of the capitals
neighborhood are now good and are con-
stantly improving. The governmental
