CORRESPONDENTS AssERTIvE.

The censorship of the press at Manila
has at length called forth a vigorous
kick from the correspondents at that
city. In fact it is more than a kick, it
is an indictment of General Otis. He
has not been fortunate. The returning
volunteers have very few good words
to say of Otis, and there seems a gen.
eral consensus of opinion that he has
mismanaged the campaign and need
lessly sacrificed his men, to gain no tan
gible advantage
The power of the press is shown in
thus taking up the cudgels against the
military power. Some years ago such a
step would have been unheard Of Now
it is the censorship that is the thing
that is unheardof and which it is sought
to break The classifying of news is
very poor policy, it eventually recoils
on the head of the falsifier. Otis has,
apparently, Systematically transmitted
cooked news with view of deceiving
the people of the United States.
The effect has not been what General
! Otis calculated upon. The fact that
aroused suspicion and caused great
anxiety. 1t has alarmed the people a t
home far more than a manly state
ment of facts would have done. The
protest of the correspondents only veri-
fes what every one surmized. The cor
respondents We're right in that had they
4 made no protest, they would have been
70 fa1c i,f -.
Otis was disseminating
The press is undoubtedly a power
and the more carefully conducted it is,
the more powerful it becomes. The cor
respondents at Manila, acting together
have given rebuke to General Otis
which is more potent than any that
could have been given him. 1t is admin
/ istered in a calm and dignified manner
before the whole nation as it were.
| The habit of secretiVeness belongs to
certain class of minds, and the. mill
tary profession is prone to it. But there
are plenty of men outside the military
profession who have like attributes The
fact is if honesty is the best policy"
truthfulness is quite as good. The
Wisest thing is to tell the truth
straight out There are people of Otis
! frame of mind here, who, when they can,
suppress Island news. 1t is an unwIse
and wrong policy. Had the situation
in the Philippines been clearly under
stood on the mainland, there would not
have been near as much dissension over
the holding them or the letting them
go. Ignorance of the situation is the
cause of dissatisfaction.
The correspondents have done a bold
| thing and wise thing and have estab-
lished a precedent for which an the
newspaper fraternity must honor them.
There are very few who are as behind
the world in newspaper matters as Gen
eral Otis is, and he has had to have a
thorough lesson dealt to him. Success to
the correspondents in their fight

A recent cartoon in the st. Louis Re

rather correctly. The representatives

as each seated upon the summit OF II

ting that misrepresentation which
might have been expected.
But to point out the mistakes of the
system is one thing. To call II slavery Is
another. Is it slavery when any one
makes contract for supplying certain
literary matter, and then when 1t Is not
supplied, is sued for damages caused by
neglect to supply. Was 1t slavery when
Julia Marlowe was under contract to
the lady who trained her, and for whose
benefit she had to play, whether she
liked IT or not, during a stated NUMBER
of years A contract may be hard. but
il is not slavery.
The Galcians about whom the arti-
cles are written. entered voluntarily in
to a contract, they were not forced in
to it, As part of that bargain they were
advanced certain sums of money. They
do not wish to work for the money so
advanced, and they are unable to pay it.
The Star has no intention of defending
the labor laws. but it does want to show
what the true position is. 1t has been
shown time and again that our labor

and that men were shipped" for a
plantation as a man was shipped" for
the whaling voyage. Once having ac-
cepted his advance from the whaler he
had to go, he could not back out, if he
did he was imprisoned. The building of
sailors to their contracts, naturally led
to holding laborers to their contracts.
Yet sailors are by no means regarded
as slaves.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
get up such cries as slavery" and they
make an uncommonly good watchword
to carry on a campaign. But the hon
esty or dishonesty of such a campaign
is easily seen through. The vigor of
the Examiner in this slavery" cam
paign is due not to it's inmate love for
the contract laborer, but is aroused be-
cause it is a Democratic paper and sees
an opportunity of saying something
which it hopes may embarrass the Re-
publican administration.

There is going to be sensational dam
age suit in the book world. TolstOi's

novel as unfit for publication. The
agents have ceased to supply copy, and
the August number contains no INSTALL
ment of "The Awakening" For this
some of the readers will not mourn, for

manner even after being Cleaned" by
the Cosmopolitan. But there is now

1t is never too often to point out the
complete reunion of the United States,
and the entire devotion of the nation to
the national cause. 1t is a rare, almost
an unexampled instance in history to
see a commander who fought against
the central government holding high
command in the army of the regenerat-
ed state. Such a thing as General
Wheeler holding command under a
monarchy would be an impossibility.
Under the free Republic of the United
States he does, and is now able to give
the ripened energy of an experienced
life to the service of his country. Dem
ocratic government with all it's faults,
and, it has many, is the better for the
advance of it's people, and it ever shows
its power to utilize its best men.

The retirement of Secretary Alger
takes away thorn from the side of the
administration. The unpopularity of
Alger was so great that his retention
was an absolute danger to the Repub-
lican party, causing division in its
ranks. The President stood by his
henchman with gallantry and deter
mination, but the pressure was too
strong and General Alger has passed
away from the scene, it may be to reap
pear in another political character.
Secretary Root comes to the head of the
war department with an excellent rec
ord as a thinker and keen, active and
successful lawyer. 1t is by no means
the first time in history that a success
full lawyer has made a success as the
head of a military department. He is
not likely to be bound by the red tape
of a profession, which is, from the ma
ture of things, deeply dyed in formal

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST ?, 1899.

There must have been wild excite
ment over the Anglo merican univer-
sity athletic contest. 1t remained in the
balance till the last event when the
British universities won by a point.
From the accounts to hand II is said
such enthusiasm has seldom if ever
been seen. There are enough represen-

these Islands to take the keenest inter-
est in the struggle.

Pursuit of the Verde Murderer.

The Yavapai county officers are still hunting for Bishop, the Camp Verde murderer. Sheriff Munds stated to a representative of the Journal-Min that his present field of operations is located in the Clear creek country, in Gila county, north of Globe, where the murderer is supposed to be in hiding. The section is we'll wooded and water ed and abounds in game and fish, af- fording thereby to the fugitive sources of food and shelter to sustain life for months to come.
 Sheriff Munds says that on June 27, six days before the murder of Wing field and Rodgers, at Camp Verde, Bishop went into the town of Payson and purchased guunysack of con densed milk, many pounds of oatmeal and other light groceries, and left for the Clear creek country. These goods Bishop cached" at various places along Clear creek, principally in the trees, and the sheriff states that many of these caches have been located by him.
 In the pursuit, Mir. Munds says that whenever the blood hounds would scent the trail they would invariably lead the posse to the foot of tree, and it was then that the characteristics of these dogs would show mp Tn the most piteous moans, as they looked mp into the branches where the food was secreted. The rain was falling daily during the chase, and unless the trail was newly made, it was very difficult to make any headway.
 Mir. Munds states that at one time he believes that he and posse were within few feet of the fugitive. but owing to the rain falling so heavily and the den sity of the undergrowth he could not see nor could his dogs track. The fn- gitive is we'll supplied with food and in many of the camps he left jerked tur- key, and bear meat was found in abundance in addition to condensed milk, and other prepared articles.
 Sheriff Munds, as well as others with him. believes that Bishop is in the can yon proper, or was at the time he left, and that in order to locate him or effect his capture, it will take time and nec- essarily occasion risk Sheriff Munds maintains force of ten men in the field, and persists in his former decla- ration that he will continue until all traces disappear.
