ADMINISTRATION CRITICS.

Another critic of Mr.. McKinley's
scandalous administration is President
David Starr Jordan, of Stanford Uni
versity, of San Francisco.
President Jordan declared in a lee
ture to his students the other day that
the Mckinley policy of displacing
statesmen and soldiers with politicians
in the war department and in the army
was responsible for the loss of hun
dreds of lives in the camps during the
recent war with Spain for the erl-
balmed beef scandal, etc.
President Jordan declared further
that Mr. Nick nley's administration was
rapidly forcing craftsmanship out TO
make room for party politics and that
the man with pull was paramount
over scores of others with ability. lie
declared that the President was sacri-
fcing everything to political effect ard
pandering to the millionaire monopo-
lstic class that created his admins
tration.
Mr.. Jordan spoke the truth when he
declared there were enough natural
leaders in this country to guide the
ship of state Alright, but under the
present order of things these honest,
pure and sincere men of the people
were obscured by the man with the
pull"
President Jordan might have gore
further and in explanation of these
things pointed out the predominant
fact, to use the language of the Balti-
more Sun, another critic of the President
which supported him in 1896, that the
President is to-day, as he has been
from the hour he was nominated at st.
Louis, in the hands of the capitalists
who bought and paid for his nomina-
ton, and who supplied the sinews of
war for his election" Or he might
have quoted Mr.. Johnson, Of indiana
on this same phase of the subject:
These are the gentlemen who are al
ready grasping after special privileges
in the Philippines, in Cuba and in
Porto Rico 1t was, imagine, for their
special benefit that the President
created his advisory board, composed
of three American citizens, their objecr
being to farm out valuable privileges
which ought to belong to the people
of those islands themselves, and III
whose disposition they should have q
voice. If their government is to be free

If A1ger wont retire under fire"
and the President wont dismiss him
while the nation is clamoring for his
dismissal, it would seem to be use
less to hope ever to be rid of Alger.
If the administration is to set up the
mode of procedure that an unworthy
official is never to be dismissed under
fire." that is while there is a popular
demand for his dismissal, the country
cannot expect to get rid of rottenness
and corruption at Washington until
Mr.. Mckinley, himself is gotten rid
tice, for Mr.. Mckinley is the really re-

The first intimation of the accident was
when its aunt heard it screaming at the
top of the stairs and hurried to see what
was the trouble, when she found the
baby almost enveloped in flames. Mrs.

hands and arms. The little one is IN a

ives handled With de&efent1a1 pollte-
ness and solicitude. almost every ques-
ton Of the cunning lawyer being ac-
companied by an apology to the effect
that while the State knew that it was
absurd to suspect Mr.. Molineaux, it
still had duty to perform. So sue
cessful were the District Attorneys eff
forts in diverting suspicion that the
State was on his trail that the news
papers and the public, which unani-
mously suspected Molineaux, were also
deceived and storm of public indigna-
ton was aroused. So great was the
clamor that communications began to
appear in the press calling public in
dignation meetings to protest against
the conduct of the case.
But Mr.. Osborne effectively demon :
strated his ability and that he knew
what he was about, and put his loud
mouthed critics to shame by suddenly
springing on Molineaux the trap which
he had so successfully prepared and
baited When the final evidence of his
guilt held in reserve by the State was
produced in dramatic fashion, Moline
aux found himself cornered, caught
fast, without a chance of escape from
indictment.
The State, from the beginning, knew
if was playing a game with a highly
educated and exceedingly shrewd GRIM
inal, and played it's cards accordingly,
so as not to let him escape.
Molineux is a remarkable criminal,
if he is the guilty man. While the
murder of Barnet may be explained
on the ground of jealousy caused by
his wife's relations with Barnet, the
motive is quite different in the case OF
Cornish, the athletic trainer at Mr.
Molineux's club. In the latter case one
would have supposed that a heightened
swell such as Molineux would not have
given petty quarrel with the athlete
a thought outside of the clubhouse,
much less harbor a hatred and feeling
of revenge so deep and deadly as to
seek the life of Cornish, who was not
a member of Molineux's set and did
not move in the same circle of society.
The evidence that he sought Cor
nish's life would seem to show that the
pampered young heir to millions and
social pet could not brook opposition
and was determined to remove by muir
der if necessary, even so petty an enc
my as the club athletic trainer 1t
would seem to show the guilty man to
be most dangerous moral degenerate,
whose existence at large was serious
menace to society. 1t would also sug-
gest that the cases of those others
known to have died under suspicious
circumstances after taking a yachting
cruise with Miss Blanche Chesebor-
ough. would be good subjects for the
officials to look into more closely.
Who can tell how many similar quiet
murders are to be laid at the door OF
him who could thus commit murder
on so slight provocation, so coolly,
calmly and deliberately?

There is now grave apprehension
that the River and Harbor appropria-

essary to build the Wheeling and
Marietta dams and to survey the river
from the latter point to the Indiana
line, will fail of passage. Every i'm
aginable job which would not stand
on its merits was saddled onto the
River and Harbor bill, and on top
of the whole conglomerate mass, the
Nicagagua canal scheme was dumped
bodily. This is probably more than
the measure will stand. 1t has simply

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1899-02-23

The President of the French Re-
public, M. Faure, died suddenly a
few days since with appoplexy. 1t
is thought his death was caused by
his great anxiety over the unsettled
and threatening conditions existing
in that Republic. The next day af-
ter his death, the French Chamber
of Deputies met and proceeded to
elect M. Loubet President. Not
outstanding the very unsettled con-
ditions in France and the threaten
ing signs of revolution, yet the death
of the President and the election by
the Chamber of Deputies of a new
President attracted practically no
attention except as matter of news
to the French people. This was due
to two reasons: first, because the
President of the French Republic is
not elected by the people: and s. c.
ond, because the man holding that
Office has very little power. He is
simply figure head. The President
of the United States was clothed
with considerable power at the for
nation of our government, and by
various devices since, his power has
been increased an hundred fold, I'M
til to-day President Mckinley has
more power than the Crown Head of
England. This is one of the most
dangerous tendencies in our govern.
ment, and makes the fort to create
q big stan aing army all the more sig
nifcant and dangerous.

dred thousand cannot pass Congrt ss
at this session. 1t may be that the
Republicans will accept the substi-
tute measure presented by Senator
Cockrell. If not the whole matter
will go over until the next session Of
Congress. The Pr sid emit, however,
is understood to have said that he
will call an extra session of Con-
gress if so me satisfactory bill for In
creasing the army is not passed.
He will have an opportunity to do
this if tho Republicans in the Senate
do not accept this substitute meas
ure.
1t is perfectly clear to every one
that the substitute measure, provid.
ing for continuing temporarily the
increase of the army, meets every
legitimate demand of the govern
ment growing out of the present for
eign conditions. If this proposition
is not accepted it will indicate clear
~ that the real purpose of the Re-
publicans in wanting an increase in
the standing army is for use at home
and not abroad. That the real use
to which they intend to put this ar
my is not to defend the flag abroad
or to prevent foreign invasion, bu'
to force the gold standard and mo
nopoly rule upon the people, if tn
people should decide not to peacea
bly, become slaves.

Did you see the News and Obser-
YER of Tuesday morning The above
heading was one of its big double
column headings. Everybody who

and no one believes it will be done.
They may reduce scme, but not all.
The matter was just before the House.
1t was opposed sharply, and when it
goes to the Senate, which it must do
before it becomes q law, it will likely
die.

the following:

PEOPLE.
The resolution known as the Nc
Emery resolution, passed q few days
since by the Senate, purporting to
declare our policy with reference to
the Philippines, Is by no means sat-
isfactory to those who oppose col
onial policy. Indeed the most active
supporters of this resolution were
those who are supposed to favor a
colonial policy. A substitute was
offered for the McEnery resolution
which declare d clearly and positively
that this government would not es-
tablish q colonial policy, but would
give independence to the Filippinos
as soon as possible. The vote in the
Senate on this substitute was q tie.
The President of the Senate cast the
deciding vote against it. 1t is now
clear that the question of whether OF
not this government shall adopt q
colonial policy will 60 into the next
Presidential campaign and the peo-
pie will have q chance to pass upon
the matter and settle it according to
their desires.

THE WAR AGAINST THE EIUIuE

THE WAR AGAINST THE FILLIPINOs
The war against Spain was started
in the interest of humanity. The
fact that We are to-day engaged in
fighting a part of SPANS former
subjects who were struggling for lib
erty is an anamaly from the stand
point of America. Of course it would
be better for the Fillipinos to be SUBJ
jects of our government than to be
subjects of Spain, but why should
We expect man who is fighting for
liberty and self-government to de-
sire to be the subjects of even the
most humane master. Besides, the
most serious phase OF this Filipino
question is the effect that colonial
policy would have upon our own peo-
pie. For q great Republic standing
on the Declaration Of Independence
to proceed to subjugate and govern
a foreign people and make them sub
jects, is to eat of the forbidden fruit.
It is . policy that will inject a dead
ly poison into the very vitals of our
Republican form of government.
