Too Much Politics.

There is 100 much politics in the war.
Better progress would be made in bringing
Spain to terms If the politicians were less
in evidence. Take, for instance, the bill
authorizine the volunteers to vote in the
fall eIections-a bill which Is mainly sup
ported by cpublcans-what is it but an
effort to curry favor with the soldiers
The soldiers themselves would not have
thought Of asking Congress to pass a bill
making provision for the soldiers in the
different encumpmCnrs in this country ana
in Cuba and The Philippines to east their
ballots when the elections in their respec-
tive states take piace-at least not those
soldiers who enlisted for the purpose Of
fighting the country's battles. But the pol
iticians - the Republican politicians
thought about it, and doubtless it struck
them as an admirable method Of winning
the good VIII of the soldiers for their par
~.
II is apparent that to carry out success
fully the voting scheme it would require
quite a large expenditure Of money and
many difficulties would have to be over
come. How. for Instance, could it be ar
ranged so that the votes of Col. Woods
regiment of Rough Riders could vote,
so that their ballots would be legally CASTE
The men in that regiment are from many
states In fact nearly all the states are
represented in it. In voting for congress-
men would It not be necessary to have a
ballot box for every congressional district
in the whole country? And if the soldiers
are 10 be allowed to vote for state officers
should they not be permitted to vote for
county officers also? 1t is plain that in an
army in which regiments are made of men
from different states, the holding of an
election for county and state officers, as
well as for congressman, would be very
difficult job.
The politicians, however, don't care
about the difficulties. The more there are
of them the better the politicians like it,
because of the opportunities they offer for
getting employment for their heelers and
hcnchmen.
If the bill reaches the President he ought
to have no hesitation about vetoing it.
We began this war to drive the Spaniards
out of Cuba-not to afford picnics for
small-borc politicians. What pity 1t Is
that there are not a few men in Congress
big enough and sure enough of being sus-
tanned by their constituents to take de-
clded stand against all schemes which
have for their object the advancement OF
the political fortunes of the politicians!

knew Her Patient was Loaded.

Women nurses are proverbially cool and
collected in danger and at all times, so
when one does lose her wits temporarily
it is generally very funny, says the Gin
cinati Enquirer.
A short time since Miss F., one of the
smartest ard best-skilled nurses at Gin
cinnati Hospital, had a very sick man in
her care, who was only kept alive by he
roic doses of nitro lycerine, and whose
recovery from the terrible complication of
diseases from which he suffered was con-
sidered almost miraculous by the medical
fraternity. The nurse saw the dose writ
ten in her instruction book, and question:
ed the doctor about il, and was told to fol-
low the dose as directed, but she had the
idea of it being a deadly explosive so firm
" rooted in her mind that she handled
him gingerly with a furtive look in her
eye. as if she was watching the fuse end
of a fire cracker.
One midnight, when all were sleeping,
a typhoid patient in another ward arose
from his bed in delirium, slammed doors
overturned tables and chairs, and crashed
through a window on to the pavement be-
low The nurse, hearing the succession
of noises, the crash of the glass, the cries
of the awakened men in their cots, without
taking a look or a breath, with distended
eyes and hair upright, ran shriekine to
the doctors door, and pounding upon it
in an agony of terror, called out:
"Oh, doctor, doctor. come quick! Your
nitro-glycerine has exploded himselfw
1t is needless to say she was more than
pleased when she found he was still intact
and not dismembered, while the true cause
of the commotion was picked up stunned
and bleeding and cared for tenderly.

The question Of ChapIains.

Cardinal Gibbons wants more Catholic
chapiains appointed He has had talk
with the President about the matter and
is satisfied that his wishes will receive the
attention they deserve
We do not believe, as suggested in some
of the dispatches, that the cardinal Is
more concerned about getting comfortable
places for some of the young priests of
his church than he is for the spiritual
welfare of those of the volunteers who be-
long to the cardinals church He is
altogether too broad-minded man to be
other than just what he pretends to be.
In requesting the appointment of Catho-
lie ehaplains in proportion to the number
OF Catholic volunteers he did just what
was right and he did it not to get places
for priests of his church, but to make
sure that Catholic volunteers are wen pro-
vded for IN the matter of religion.
In view of the fact that the cardinals
mission to the President was successful
it is only a fair conclusion that there has
been no intention to discriminate against
the Catholic church in the appointment
of chaplains. Protestant chaplains have
thus far been appointed simply because
pretty nearly all of the applicants for a
chaplaincy have been Professionals, and be-
cause they have had the support of con-
gressmen.
The President has shown that his desire
is not to favor any party or section or
religious denomination in the conduct of
the war. 1t as fair to assume, therefore,
that he will satisfy Cardinal Gibbons IN
the matter of chaplaincies. There is no
good reason why he should not do so.
The Catholics are showing themselves to
be as patriotic as Protestants in the war
and the Catholic soldiers are as much en-
titled to the consultations of their religious
teachers in the camp and in the hospitals
as are the Protestant soldiers There
ought to be no ground for dissatisfaction In
respect to the appointment of chaplains
in the army, and it is pretty safe to say
| there will not be any in future.

MIR. I<ehoe,s Charges.

The resignation of Commissioner Kehoe
from the Board of County Commissioners
and the charges made by him as to the
management of the county's affairs, ere
ated considerable comment yesterday.
Mr.. Kehoe's statements of the manner in
which the convict camps are managed,
and especially that in which he alleges
that gross immortality has been condoned,
should not be permitted TO pass unnoticed.
If the County Commissioners
will not investigate these sharges,
then Mr.. Kehoe should be sum-
moned before the grand jury, and that
body should investigate them, so that
those whom the people have entrusted
with their business may be indicated if
the charges are false. or made to answer
for them before the proper tribunal if
they should appear to be well founded.
There is in the community a feeling
against discussing in public matters of a
certain kind but that feeling will have
TO be put aside, and the story on which
Mr.. Kehoe's charges are based, If true
be given to the people.
Let the grand jury summon Mr.. Kehoe
and hear what he has to say of the re-
lations between favored negro "trusty''
and a white female convict, and what one
of the commissioners said when the al
legged crime was brought to his notice.

The Omaha exposition seems to be
booming right along as If there were no
war in progress The gates have been
open nearly four weeks, during which
time the paid admissions have averaged
about 6000 daily. The opposition TO sun
day opening has now about disappeared.
1t seems that the opponents Of Sunday
opening feared there would be unruly and
i'll hammered crowds in the grounds on the
Sabbath and that the sanctity of the
day would be disturbed So far from any
such thing happening. it Is said that the
Sunday crowds are particularly well-be-
haved Working people take their fami-
lies to the exposition and spend the day
quietly examining the works of art and
industry spread on every hand The en-
terprise is already more than paying ex-
penses.

Personal.

William Kearns was blowing corn in
his fathers field near Button, O., when
the idea of going to the war suddenly
struck him. Tying his team to a fence,
he thereupon started FOR Lima, where he
enlisted in the Second Ohio Volunteers.
Mr. Gladstones ardent desire as a
young man was to be allowed to take
holy orders. There exists, according to
Rev. Harry Drew, letter, written to his
father when he was just leaving the uni
versity, in which he set forth a most ur
gent appeal to be allowed to became a
clergyman.
Prof Alexander Agassix of Harvard
as curator of the museum of comparative

ings, collections books and materials, be-
sides 100000 for current needs.

Prohibition "A Failure.

In our dispatches yesterday 1t was
stated that the Democrats of Maine have
put a plank in their platform calling for
The repeal Of the prohibition amendment
TO the state constitution. That is prac-
tically, an admission that prohibition in
Maine after many years of trial is fail
ure. The Democratic party of that state
would never have attacked prohibition if
it were not pretty well satisfied that the
majority of the people are against it.
The Democratic party will hardly carry
Maine at the next election-the Republican
majority Is TOO great to be Overcome-but
its defeat wouldn't mean that the ma
jority favors prohibition. The only way
to test whether the majority in Maine is
for or against prohibition is to submit
that question squarely to the people, sep
arately from any other question.
The ground for thinking that the ma
iority of the Maine people do not favor
prohibition is that the prohibitory law is
no longer strictly enforced. For several
years intoxicants have been sold in the
cities openly. Every year the feeling
against the prohibtory law becomes
stronger. In some of the country districts
the sentiment is In favor of it, but in the
cities public sentiment is overwhelmingly
against il.
If prohibition should be voted out in
Kansas and Maine the prohibition issue
would have had it's day, and the Prohibi-
ton party would cease to be. The true
way to reach prohibition is local option
the Georgia way.

senator TiInan Has views.


It seems that Senator Tnlman of South
Carolina differs with the Democratic con-
Nention of this state on the question as
to whether issues growing out of the war
with Spain can be inteligently discussed
at this time. The Democratic convention
of Georgia thinks they cannot, but Sena-
tor Tillman discussed them in the Senate
in his characteristically vigorous style on
Thursday. A great many other Demo-
Gratis of prominence are discussing them,
and will continue TO do so. notwithstand-
ing the position which the convention Of
the Georgia Democrats took in respect TO
them. Mr. Bryan need not feel cast down
because the Democratic convention of
this state declared that the war issues
could not be intelugenhy discussed at this
time. He is in very good company.
Senator Humans views are certain to
have the hearty approval Of the great
majority of Democrats who have given
the question of territorial expansion care
ful consideration. He wants to know,
and with good reason, what we could do
with the lepers, Chinese and japanese Of
Hawaii, the savages and half breeds of
the Philippines and the mixed peoples of
Porto Rico and Cuba. He says that we
have no affinity or liking for them, and
that If we should take them under our
charge they would be source of con-
slant trouble to us.
The senator called attention to the fact
that we have 5000 600 of people in our
own country who cannot be assimlated,
and who furnish us with a race problem
for which we have not yet found solu-
ton, and which promises to give us far
more trouble than 1t has yet given us. He
thinks therefore that a halt should be call
ed before any more Objectionable people
are brought under the protection Of our
flag.
These issues of the war with Spain will
not settle themselves, and 1t is folly to
say that they cannot be intelligently dis
cussed at this time and therefore should
be let alone. They can be discussed in
telHgently now, and the discussion of
them will go on until they are settled.
The Republicans would like the discus
sion of them stopped until their plans for
the permanent retention of captured terri
tory are matured. because they would be
in better position for having their poll
cy Of territorial expansion accepted by
the people.
In a speech in the House a day or two
ago, Mr.. Dingley, the leader of the Re
publican side said that nothing has
thus far occurred to change the declara-
ton of Congress when this war was ac-
cepted, that our purpose in waging it is
| not territorial expansion, but to promote
the interests of humanity and liberty"
That may be true, but it is for the alleg-
ed purpose of promoting "the interests of
humanity and liberty" that the Republi-
cans are favoring the policy of perma-
nently retaining the possessions which
we may acquire from Spain. That idea Is
getting so firmly fixed in the public mind
| that 1t may not be difficult al the end of
| the war to bring about the adoption of a
| policy looking to the permanent retention
/ of all territory captured from Spain.

Unless there should come change in
the fortunes Of Massachusetts, she may
be referred to after awhile as the moth
has now a brand new moth pest. which
the secretary of the board of agriculture
calls the "brown-tan" 1t is said that
the "brown-tail" is covered with a growth
of fine hair. which it sheds about every
where it goes. When children play on the
grass the hairs of the moth get upon
them, with the result that they are pois-
oned and their hands and arms break out
into a rash which is very painful. The
moths are now in a pupa state from
which they will emerge about the middle
of August and begin to scatter their hairs
broadcast.

The Colony Business.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer CDem).

The United States to-day has only two
systems of government-territorial and
state It has never had a colony and
knows nothing whatever about the colo
NAL business The affairs of Alaska are
conducted on territorial basis. 1t is
quite plain that neither Cuba. Porto Rico
nor the Philippines can be governed on
the territorial plan. Can them by what
ever name one may, they win stll be
colonies. Practically every nation on
earth except England and Holland has
failed as a colonial power. Spain above
all has made a most disastrous failure of
her colonies. The colony with her has
never been a field to be cultivated, but
rather an estate to be plundered. France
cannot look upon her colonial possessio ions
with pride. The Germans are not by ma
ture coonists. The race which has a pos
tive genius for colony government is the
English race and even the English had
to lose priceless possessions in order to
learn the art of colony government. Eng
land no longer governs for tribute, but
for trade.

The case of Flanagan, the DeKalb coun-
ty murderer, seems TO be stretching out
to an annoying length The real question
at issue is whether Flanagan is sane or
insane, and if sane, whether he ought to
be hanged or imprisoned for his crime
and to the average observer of the case
it appears that there should have been
some conclusion with regard to the case
reached by this time. 1t seems the very
hardest matter in the world to get a white
murderer convicted and punished in Geor-

Justice for the Men.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd).

The American soldier Is an American
citizen, and as such, he is as good as
his officers. Distinctions of rank are
temporary. They endure only while the
citizens are in their countrys armies but
disappear when the army is disbanded
and It's constituent elements are lost
again In the mass Of the people from
which they came and of which they form
a part This is the significance of the
Senates action in including the members
of Hobson's crew in the vote of thanks
extended to that gallant officer 1t was
an act of wise democracy, but also of alb
stract justice.

Those surviving ex-Confederates who
fought and suffered in the trenches
around Petersburg and elsewhere, are
probably able to appreciate better than
anybody else how differently the men of
the South are fighting now from the way
they fought in the sixties. There were
no such things in those days as hospital
trains, hospital ships refrigeratins ships
Red Cross relief corps, and the thousand
and one aids and comforts which are now
being provided for the troops. On the
Confederate side it was a matter of hard
fighting during the battles and hard hv-
ing and hard suffering during the inter-
walls between fights.
