the RESPONSIBILITY.

The San Francisco Post. one of the
ablest newspapers of the Pacific coast
and heretofore one of the warmest sup
porters of the administration. in a double
loaded editorial says:
In the interest of complete Justice the
country should be reminded that Adj
miral Dewey and Consul-General Wild
man created Aguinaldo. Spain was
asserting sovereignty over the Philip
pine islands against the protest of an
insurgent class, a class constituting the
best and the strongest elements of social
and political life of the island of LuZon.
The cession of the islands to the United
States by Spain carried with it the con-
troversy which had been waged between
the insurgents and the Spanish throne.
When Dewey's fleet left Hong Kong
for Manila bay Aguinaldo, encouraged
by Consul-General Wildman and by
Dewey, supplied by them with arms and
ammunition aud money, took up the cause
of America against the Spaniard, inspired
undoubtedly by the gromise of the
ultimate independence OF the Philippine
islands, with Aguinaldo himself as
dictator, president or king.
Dewey's victory on May |, 1898, made
him hero. but it did not make him in
fallble. Out of the promises made by
the representatives of the United States
to Aguinaldo the present war has arisen.
The president of the United States is
fully cognizaut of all these things, and it
is in order to recapitulate them in the
interest of perspicuity.
First-The authorities of the United
States secured the cooperation of the
Philippine insurgents under command of
Aguinaldo by virtue of promise Of in
dependence made to that chieftan.
Second-The expeditionary forces I'M
der the command of Otis. after the most
perfect demonstration, have proved to
be Inadequate. and the inadequacy of the
forces under command of the American
general has been known to the admins
tration for months past.
Third 49, Responsibility accompanies
power. When Lawton returned to say
that he had not sufficient force to hold
the country. the reinforcements of Otis
or his recall was demanded by the plain
est dictates OF common sense. II he had
not sufficient force to hold the country
he had conquered. then the pretense that
he had conquered il was fraud and a
cheat, for that country which cannot be
coupled has certainly not fallen into
I y
The sum of the matter is that the return
of Lawton was notice to the president,
to his war secretary. to the country, to
General O lis and to the world at large
that the expeditionary forces at Manila
were inadequate to the task before them.
Tie attempt to restore tranquility to
the island of LuZon. TO exercise the I'M
disputed sovereignty of the United
States over the territory lately acquired
| by it. has been a tremendous failure,
and for this failure all who have pos
sessed power or authority TO have or
dered events differently share proper
/ tionate responsibility.
The recall of General Otis Is impera-
lively demanded. While he remains in
command Iii: bunders will be the
blunders of the president of the United
States.

APE MONEY TESTERS,

We do not often hear of monkeys be.
ing useful. We hear them called
odd, or "comical," or amusing" OF
mlschievous," as well as a great many
other things; but we do not hear the
monkey often alluded to as chat use.
ful animal, the monkey"
Now, the Siamese people don't think
that way. They don't reflect how
amusing monkey is. They find out
what monkey can do, and make him
useful by making him do it. There
are plenty of monkeys in Siam. They
are or all sizes, large and small; and
the large apes of Siam, we have heard
are used by the Siamese merchants
as cashiers in their counting-rooms.
THINK of making apes useful in such
way as that? To keep them for cash.
iers in a counting,room!
We are not told that these apes are
expert at making change. or that they
are able to keep the merchants ledger
Tor MIN. No; the way apes are made
useful, is this:
Inc merchants are often deceived
and frequently sVinded by quantities
or clever counterfeit coins. which are
in circulation. The smartest men they
could employ were deceived. too; for
the bad money was such wonderful
imitation that the closest scrutiny Of
ten failed to find tAe difference between
good and bad piece.
In this diiemma. some Siamese mer-
chants called to their help some one
who was always thought not so smart
as a mana monkey. And these
large apes of Sam" proved such a
success at their new avocation that the
custom of employing them for the pur-
pose of detecting bad money has be-
come universal. The ape cashier Of
Siam holds his situation without a ri.
val!
He has peculiar method of testing
coin. Every piece is handed to him
and he picks up each bit of money,
one at time, and meditatively puts
1t into his mouth. tasting it with grave
deliberation. If the coin is good, he
declares the fact plainly. He takes it
from his mouth and carefully places it
in Its proper receptacle beside him. He
has pronounced judgment and every
one is satisfied that the judgment is
| correct. But if the coin is bad. the
| cashier makes known his verdict in an
equally unmistakabe manner. He
! throws IL violently from his mouth to
the floor shaking his head with as
much disgust as the merchant himself
might feel at being imposed upon.
with loud chattering and angry ges-
lures, says the Independent, he makes
known his displeasure at being pre-.
scented with a bad piece of money. The
merchant himself could not express it
better.
Now, how does monkey know what
man cannot tell? All, that is his
secret. He never reveals it, Perhaps
he is afraid if he should make known
all the mysteries of his profession his
occupation might be gone, and peo-
pie would once more prefer men for
cashiers in place of the extraordinary
apes employed by the merchants Of
Siam.
