We Never Turn Back.

In the fight now going on for the
Postmastership in this city we are in
formed that an article that appeared
in the DEMOCRAT in the last campaign
is being used against one of the ap-
plicants. Why or what for this is
being done we know not, for not one
of the aspirants for the postma ster-
ship had then or has now anything to
do with the political course Of the
DEMOCRAT. Its editor alone is re
sponsible for the article that is beirg
exhibited for effect in the postofiic e
fight.
The DEMOCRAT, Sc far, has kept
hands off and mouth out of this little
fight, but if the boys want to draw US
into it we will go in and will promise
now TO make it uncomfortably warm
for one old blatherskite who seems
anxious to kick up a row with the
DEMOCRAT.
We have no fault to find w.}n any

An Ably Handled Army.

Re-enforcements of regulars are
landing in Manila. The Scandia
reached there On Thursday with the
10Th Infantry. Within five or SIX
days the 22d Regiment is due. having
left Honolulu two weeks ago. An
other regiment has passed the Red
Sea, one is in the SueZ Canal, and
one departed from New York few
days ago. When these troops arris 6
Gen. Otis will have nearly II, 600 reg
ulars, about the same number that
took part in the Santiago campaign,
and the men are largely identical.
That these re-enforcements are wal-
come at Manila is a matter OF cou- Sc.
The duty OF holding the lines and
guarding the city during the last TWO
weeks has been trying. Hot weather
is setting in, and the men in the
trenches need to be periodically re-
tieved. When the treaty is signed
she volunteers areentitled TO discharge.
"A strong army of regulars, most of
whom are enlisted for several years.
will give the Manila situation a mill
tary stability that in itself will tend
20 preserve peace.
The administration deserves to be
cordially commended for ITS foresight
in having these regiments SO far on
the road to Manila. Su:h things do
not happen by accident To hurry
forward re-enfOrcements & fter a crisis
comes is the usual order of events.
But fresh troops within reach imply
management Of the highest order.
One effect OF the speedy formation OF
a large regular army at Manila will
be to discourage the Filipino anarch-
lists. They ravs looked upon our
troops hcrv ms temporary provis-
ion. IE.y a.sO thought they could
take 3ari4ra wdh volunteers, "a uo-

sIA chance Which Schurz Missed.


! Carl Schurz says the stories that
Germany was hostile to the United
States in the Spanish war were inven-
tions of the British papers. The Ber-
lin press make a good point in favor
of their country's attitude toward the
United States when they mention that
Frederick the Great of Prussia was
one of the earliest of European poteu-
tates after Louis XVI. to recognize
the independence of this country
Frederick also opposed the purchase
of the Hessian mercenaries by George

This Is the unfortunate condition OI
the Missouri Legislature. In both
branches there is q large Democratic
maiOritE. Nevertheless. the LogIeia
ture is alii ruAgling, not to say
overwhelmed. by the mere prelimina.-
ries Of the work in hand The session
is in the eighth week The majority
Is deeply engaged in the subject OF
clerkships. That this should have be-
come a momentous issue seems strange
but when the subject is examined the
reason is q ,ckly seen. The session
began witt. a large addition to the
former nun ser of clerks. These we're
divided as Patronage among members,
particularly those who were well dis
posed toward the Governors plans.
But while the distribution of hundreds
of clerkehips seems to have been
pleasants, the sequel is scandal of
large proportions and degree of
confusion seldom reached in any leg
islative body.
One Democratic member charges
that when the House was organized
committee chairmanships were sold
for clerkship appointments. Repre-
sentative Smith. another Democrat,
says clerks draw salaries without per-
forming any work. Representative
Lee, also "a Democrat. asserts that the
appointment of the army of clerks is
due to Gov. Stephens und corporation
influences. As the Governor had an
extensive personal programme ready
for the Legislature it is assumed that
he handed around clerkships literally
through his legislative agents. A few
clerks have been discharged. some
have been reinstated, and the situa-
ton is chaotic. Perhaps the result
will be complete reorganization OF
the House. Thus the Legislature has
broken down. 1t has been unable
even to organize effectively. Yet
nearly half the session is over Would
it not be we'll for Democrats to make
a first trial of the non partisan nos
trum on the State of Missouri outside

what Dewey's Dispatch Means.

That mysterious dispatch from
Dewey, asking that the battleship
Oregon should be ordered to Manila
al once for political reasons is now
Explained. On Saturday the German
|cruiser Kaiserln Augusta, Admiral
|Dederich's flag ship. entered Manila

Another Manila dispatch which has
a bearing on the same subject was that
of Friday last stating that the foreign
consuls had met ''to confer regarding
commercial interests. Thi. added
bit of information was highly signiii-
cant: ''The British consul was not
present at.the council
There is enough here to cause the
American people to wait further news
with the greatest anxiety. From what
is known of German meddling in Ma
Mia bay last summer, the return of
Admiral Dederich to these waters may
be looked upon as the harbinger of
trouble. 1t may be that, on the plea
that the interests of Europeans in
Manila are imperiled to which will
possibly be added the assumption that
Otis force is incapable of properly
protecting them, the German admiral
will attempt to land men to ''protect"
Cap,pop opd otbar Euroraon ;pforos&-
If the German admiral is looking
for trouble he can find it very easily
just now in Manila bay. Somehow
his conduct there, and the ostentatious
show of friendship made at Berlin,
do not agree. 1t will be safer to
judge of the feeling of the German
government by deeds rather than
words Toledo Blade.

that no such interview was ever given
him The New York Journals inter-

of Gen. Miles testimony, it would
seem to be an opportune moment for
