CLEVER RuSE De GUERRE.
Mr.. Starlings Ousted "A Locksmith,s
Interference Mr.. Himmelheber
Shown The Ropes.

A clever ruse de guerre was executed
oy the new majority on the Board OF
County Commissioners Yesterday when
the changes were made. The new board
asked A. X. Starlings. the clerk of the
old board. and Messenger Edward Bald
win to step outside the room while they
went into executive session. II had been
whispered about that Mr.. Starlings, know
ing that the majority of the new board
intended to oust him, proposed to close
the safe door, and shut up the papers and
books OF the office and not open il until
the courts compelled him to.
Mr.. Starlings was then dsposed while
absent and Charles II. Himmelheber was
elected clerk in his place. MIR. Himmel-
heber was sent for. and had his bond
ready. and It was approved. Mr.. Star.
hngs came in and went toward the safe
where the books were. Mr.. Brown pro-
tested against him touching it, and said
he did 1t at his peril, as he was no longer
clerk. MIR. Starlings. in turn, protested
against being removed before his term
had ended. At this moment a knock
was heard on the door Of the room. and
the messenger opened it. In walked a
iocksmllh. who slipped up to the safe
and in few minutes changed the COM
bination OF the lock and closed the door
and locked il. The locksmith gave the
new clerk alone the combination, and
left him in possession OF the Office safe
and papers.
Today Mr.. Siarlings. the deposed clerk.
accepted the situation gracefully, and
initiated Mr.. Himmelheber, the newly
appointed clerk, in the workings OF the
ottice. showing Mr.. Himmelheber, as
Mr.. Starlings expressed it. "the same
couriesies he received when he came in
oftice. The Board voted MIR. Starlings

progress ofevents in the war and while
the forces of the decaying empire were
going on to repeated defeat on land
and sea the people at home were con-
tinually RECALLED with news from Off
cial sources of another glorious
Spanish victory" of how the Amer
leans were gloriously beaten back. -
etc 1t was not for weeks after the
people of Spain had recovered from
the into1ication of misleading stories
as to the results of the battles of Ma
Mia and of Santiago that the truth
was permitted to gradually enter their
deluded brains As an explanation of
this method of deception and misrep-
resentation it was stated that the peo-
pie of Spain were SO eXcitable, so
lacking in the capabilitv of intelligent
comprehension and self control that
the government did not dare to let
them know the worst at the start-it
was better that they expend their en-
ergies and exhaust them selves in i'll
founded rejoicing than that the true
aspect come suddenly upon them.
This course of procedure which made
Spain the laughing stock of the world,
was freely condemned in this country
and in all parts of the globe. as it
rightfullU ought to be. Yet now the
representatives of the press of Amer
ca, in a far away part of the globe,
where American lives are being sacri-
feed, and American interests are
at stake, are to be condemned and
called insolent, because they have pc
titioned that the reports which they
have sent out and are responsible for.
be not stripped of the truth. These
newspaper men have not presumed to
dictate to the government as to the
nature of its advices, or the informa-
ton that it imparts to the people with
the stamp of official approval. They
have asked that the statement OF facts
which they send to this country be
not controverted. and. as far as they
are concerned, they be permitted to
enlighten, rather than to deceive, a
trusting constituency in the Ameri-
can republic.
In time of war it is often of the ut
most Importance, as a matter of
course, that press news be guarded,
where it is of an an
ticipatory character. But where
facts are established, and condi-
lions are long existing. there is
nothing TO be gained by deceiving an
nation as to how their af-
fairs are being conducted.

A. E. PILLLBURY, formerly attor-

try of their adoption. 1t would he
remarkable, but by no means impos-

WIDELY and honestly differing as
the minds of people in this country
may as to the policy being pursued
with reference to the Philippines, it
affords no source of satisfaction to the
average American to have any part of
his government subjected to foreign
criticism. AS was said at the time
the fresh Spanish minister. De LONE,
was given his walking papers, we
may take our president or anyone else
connected with either branch of the
government to task, but we restrict
that right to ourselves. When the
neighbors mix in we stand together.
Accordingly, the attitude of the Lon
don press, in view of the action of the
American newspaper correspondents
at Manila, while not unnatural and
not i'll founded so far as allegations
are concerned affecting the conduct of
the war in the Asiatic archipelago.
will receive not an eager degree of
sanction in this country. The chief
significance in the disparaging utter
ances comes, however, in the fact of
the administration inclination to
boast of the British sympathy with
its course as regards the forced sub
jugation of the natives of the Phil
ippines, and incidentally the entire
line of policy with reference thereto.

Her Great Need.

"Tell him to wait
Mrs. Golddecker waved aside the
maid, and, rising anxiOusly, looked out
on upper Fifth avenue from the win
dow of her just completed nineteenth
century palace. She was wondering
whether his man. for whom she had
sent, possessed at last the one secret
that could make her happy. She paused
for a moment nerving herself inwardly
to encounter disappointment in case it
should come, and then, in full control
of herself, she prepared to descend.
Leaving her boudoir, with its 500, 900
bedstead, she passed the diamond and
sapphire inlaid bathroom. with its gold
faucets glittering in the electric light,
and, stepping into the cut glass eleva-
tor, was whirled rapidly downward to
the first floor. Stepping lightly over the
81, 900, 900 rug in the reception hall
and brushing abstractedly against the
81. 900. 600 tapestries in the drawing
room, she passed through long,passage
into the waiting room in the rear of the
house. where tall, dignified foreigner
stood up and bowed respectfully as she
entered.
'Can you make good bread?" she
asked.

The administration papers are now
theoretically abusing the Manila cor
respondents of American papers who
signed the protest to Gen. Otis against
the restrictions of the press censor
ship at the Philippine capital. The
newspaper men, one would judge from
the tenor CT the administration press,
had committed great breach of be-
coming decorum in addressing Gen.
Otis on so delicate subject, for it is
stoutly maintained that the cores
pondents should be severely dealt
with for presuming to address his inn
perial excellency, the American vice
roy of the Philippines. even though
their petitions be in the interest of
truth. 1t is apparent from the nature
of these criticisms that under the new
doctrine of foreign ACKNOWLEDGMENT
IN the name of the States, the right of
petition in common with other priv
ileges which have given lustre and

rogated. and the people who in the
old days when America first flashed
the beacon light of liberty across the
seas were sovereign in all that per-
tanned to this country, must dwell in
darkness as to the conditions in which
they are vitality interested. They
