There is a demand by quite anum-
Der of papers of this country for the
recall of Gen. Otis, in command of
the American forces in the Philip
pines, who is thought by them to be
incompetent for the position he holds.
Whether they are III possession of
enough of facts to warrant them in
making such a demand is not stated.
1t is an easy matter TO criticise mill
tsry commanders when they are I'M
successful, but whether another could
have done better with the same means
at his command and the same obsta-
cles to contend with is another mat
ter. 1t is pointed ont by the Chicago
Record that twenty-one towns were
captured by the forces operating I'M
der the direction of Gen. Otis-some
of them two or three times-and of
this number only three are held bv
the Americans. 1t would require a
large force to garrison p towns with
safety to the forces holding them,
and at the same time hold in check
the 100000 inhabitonts of Manila.
The question arises, did Otis have
men enough to hold these places: We
don't think any of his critics will
concede that he had troops enough
for this.
With $4,000 men instead $4,000
we may anticipate hearing better
news from Otis. But, the main ques
ton to consider is, will new COM
mander, backed by the strength of
such an army as is being collected in
Luzon, be in better position to ov-
crave the natives? Has Otis permit
ted such cruelties to be committed
by his soldiers as to arouse among
the natives determination not to
quit hostilities while he is in COM
mand? If this spirit has been in
vOked among the Fllipinos, and we
fear it has, unquestionably it would
be good policy to relieve him. Cruel
methods IN warfare never awaken
among people who feel their severi-
ty disposition to accept the terms
of such a ruler.

The Beers, after observing that
their opponents, the British, were
talking as if peace was still in sight,
though they were at the same time
pouring fresh troops into their pos
sessions in South Africa, determined
to take the bit into their own mouth
and bring matters to a focus. The
Beers thereupon notified the British
government that it must withdraw
Its forces facing their territory, and
order the return of any of its troops
now proceeding thither on water,
naming last Friday as the utmost
limit of time to which it would wait
for a favorable answer. OF course,
the British government had no fav-
orable answer to send to this ultima
tum, when the Beers took the jnitia-
tive with their superior numbers and
entered British territory. 1t is re-
ported that an engagement has taken
place between the Beers and the
British, but this news lacks con6rma-
ton. Firing has occurred along the
frontier lines. The Beers are stub
born fighters, but SO are the British,
and the latter, with their immense
resources, will ultimately overwhelm
the former.

We trust that the democratic 70
tiers of this county have risen to a
sense of the justice that lies in the
claims of Mr.. Warthen upon their

good democrat, is shown by the
fact that the people of his county
chose him as the chairman of their
county committee. He has been
named as the rominee of the party
by the joint convention of Clarke and
Warren, composed of delegates chosen
after giving as much notice of the
primaries as is usually given. 1t
ought not to be necessary to urge
democrats to vote for the nominee of

King of StOWaways.

The steamship Lacka wanna brought Into Philadelphia recently a boy who is probably the most famous stowaway on the Atlantic. The fact that the cap tain of the Lackawanna had involun- tarily carried him thrice across the sea is d fair test of his ability to secrete himself, as on each occasion the vessel has been thorough searched before leaving Liverpool. Edward Murphy is only 15 years old. He halls from Birk- enhead England, and has never had a home other than the gutters of the worlds largest city can afford. He be- gan the stowaway business some years ago, when less than 10, and has made a great success of 1t. He has visited most of the shipping ports of the At lantic, and many South American and African countries besides. During the past year he has travelled from Liver pool to New York, to Santos, to Ro- sario, to Argentine Republic, to the Barbadoes, to Southampton, to Liver pool, to Philadelphia. He is known to every skipper who sails from London, and as rule Is a favorite with officers and men. Captain Wytte, of the Lack awanna, thinks so much of him that he has offered to adopt him, but Mur- phy cannot give up his rowing life. If he can escape from the Lackawanna- on board which ship, in accordance with the law which requires every sea captain to pay a fine for foreigners brought to America without money, he
 Is closely confined-he will probably beat his way across America and "ship" on some Pacific collier, as, he has always expressed a desire to go to the Klondike.
