TRurH SPOKEN IN LEST

Banking is serious and practical
business, aud Bank Examiner Van
Brocklin, of New York, has discovered
that joking during business hours may
produce disastrous results. II is al
legged that the failure Of Senator
Thomas Platt's bank was caused by
little joke made by the bank examiner.
The story which is current In New
York runs as follows
1t has developed in the inquiry into
the banks affairs that on the day Of
Stones confession Of improperly taking
funds the examiner found a discrep
ancy Of few dollars. The mistake
was one Of addition, for Stones books
on the face are all right, Nhen the
cashier came into Van Brocklin's pres
ence the examiner said, all in the way

II this story is o be credited Il is
simply anothe demonstration Of h
old adage that many true word is
spoken in jest For years the looting
OF Platt's bank had gone on undetect-

respected as a strictly honest and care
fully correct business man, but at last
his sin found him out, and 1t matters

The Philippine question is likely to
give this country more trouble than
most people anticipate. Leaving out
the mooted question whether under
the protocol this country is entitled to
them by right Of conquest and all other
matters Of territorial acquisition and
the commercial advantages which
would result from our absolute control,
the fact remains that the United
States government cannot pull up
stakes and leave the islands, bus is
m orally as well as commercially bound
TO hold on to them until stable and
civilized government is established
lroug the people.
TO let go now or at any time before
such condition is an established fact,
would te TO invite the censure of the
Christian people all over the world.
1t would virtually be inviting Spain to
resume her despotic sway over the
islanders and to continue her butch
cries OF these helpless people. The
United cannot do this, nor do we be.
lieve she eontemplates such an unwise
thing Spain is not in condition to
refuse what is Aasonable and just,
and whatever srms and conditions
this government sees proper TO de
mand OF Spain must ultimately be
conceded by her.
This country was generous with
Mexico when she lay helpless at her
feet, and IL will be generous with
Spain, but she must not undertake to
be arbitrary in her demands. The old
Spanish rule must not again obtain
over the people OF these islands, and
it wonld be well for her to realize this
fact at once

The FL Reno Republican convention
passed resolutions challenging a com
parison between the present Republi-
can administration and Democratic
adm nistration
Two days thereafter the State Capt.
tai announced in its co 'umns that the
public record OF = political party was
tke record upon which il must go be-
fore the publie-upon which It must
stand or fall. That looked like it was
sound doctrine. At any rate IL had a
logical sound about it, and the LEADER
keeping within the record, proceeded
to show up some Of the public acts -
not all Of them by more than half-of
the present administration and it's
methods OF doing the public business.
First it showed that there was not a
scintilla Of law for the payment Of
50, 4s1.g0 of the school funds TO the
attorney general himself a salaried
officer drawing salary Of sl5c0 a
year
Ii called the attention Of the public
to the singular appointment Of J. c.
Post to an important position where
he had the exclusive handling of vast
sums OF the peoples moneys. II
pointed out who that man Post was
and gave some facts in his history.
II exposed the useless and unlawful
expenditures in the adjutant generals
Office, and many other acts which were
subjects OF comparison under the Ell
Reno convention resolutions, but up
to this day neither the governor or his
mouth piece, the Capital, has dared to
dispute the charges or explain them
away, and what is more they know
they cannot answer them They
know that if they had undertaken the
job a revelation of the doings in the
governors officer would have followed
which would have caused the people
to stand aghast at their enormity.
That's the secret of the Capitals
continued silence.

DON'T WANT THAT SORT or TESTI.

DON'T WANT THAT SORT or TESTI-
MONT
Once and awhile Mr.. Mckinley s
war investigating board gets hold of a
witness who causes Secretary Alger to
give his trousers sudden hitch up
wards. 1t doesn' tltake,Governor Beaver
and General Dodge long, however, to
conclude they don't want tooImuch OF
that sort of testimony Down at At
lanta the other day they got hold Of a
witness of that sort. It was Major
Taylor, the surgeon in charge of the
military hospital at Atlanta. Hs tes-
tised that on June IS he applied for
permission TO get hos pital supplies, but
it was August list before such permis-
sion was granted. Also that 1i6 cots
which he had ordered early in the be.
ginning Of the war, only arrived a day
or two ago. No greater farce has
played its role on the political check
erboards OF the country than this. war
investigating board. 1t was conceived
in politics. 1t was brought forth in
politics and will go out Of existence in
the political defeat Of the men whose
ambitious pretentions and purposes it
was intended to subserve.

ONLY roR POLITICAL EFFECT.

There is now no doubt that the pres
ident was sincere when he appointed
that military investigating commission
but it is equally true that he desired
above every other consideration that
his dear friend Secretary Alger should
escapef from the charges alleged against
him. This fact, coupled with the man
ner in which the investigation is being
conducted, will not satisfy the public,
and so far as the result OF the work
OF the commission may affect the po-
litical situation it would have been
far better for the Republican party
and the president II he had never ap-
pointed tho commission.
The truth is, the appointment Of the
board was only intended to relieve
the political situation and not for the
purpose Of fixing responsibilities, and
the fact is SO universally accepted by
the county that it has done harm in
stead Of good TO the Republican party
in the campaign now drawing to q
close.
