Is Miles to Be Martyred?

There are certain Republican papers
close to the administration whose in
spired utterances. like the voice of
John the Baptist in the wilderness. cry:
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make
stra1ght his path" The WASHINGTON
papers. in particular, sunf1owerlike.

wards what is to them the great source
OF life and light. Bearing in mind
this sycophancy. it is easy to predict
that some malign fate impends over
Gen. Miles. Exactly what it is to he

a lieutenant general. he is to be court

least, he is to be sat upon.
The generals specific offense is a
matter of equal doubt Of course to
the common mind of the adulators he
has been guilty of lese majestic: but
as summary punishment for that is
still little imperially premature his
conduct in some way is to be stig-
matized and arraigned as subversive to
discipline.
What. then, is the sum total of Gen.
Miles offending? He has dared to re-
veal the truth. Since the war depart
ment contemptuously pigeon-holed his
recommendations for the care of the
army, he has dared to repeat them to
the ultimate power-the people.
There are precedents. mark you. for

1t may be observed. however that
this last example is charity cited; for
there are possibilities in a repetition
of Gen. McClellan's career which send

hosenthads magnificent rendition of the num-
Der Yesterday SO completely suited was 1t
10 Ihe pianist that It Is no exaggeration to
say its performance was perfection.
MONDAY night Rosenthal appeared for the
nrst time before st. Paul audience. and
from the beginning of Beethoven's beautiful
sonata to the last note of the "Carneval de
Vlenne, the majority of music lovers pres
ent failed to catch their breaths for any
critical analysis Of the wonderful work of
the performer. Yesterday afternoon, though
there was by no means a large house, it Is
SAFE to affirm most Of the true music lovers
were there again, and, some of the wonder
and surprise of the first appearance having
worn off, they could stop to enalyze the
power of Rosenthal.
The first three numbers given Yesterday
were of the classic school, Bach's Praeludium
E Fugue A minor; Couperin's LA Tendre
ou la Fleurie Nanette," and "vIvace," by
Scarlatti.
Then came the modern school. The first
number Of this was Chopin's Sonata, B
minor, OD. 5S In four movements. Later
Rosenthal played Chopins Melodies Polo
naises,' composition into which the COM
poser seems to have poured all the wild
melody of song peculiar to the Pole. and be-
longing to Chopin by right Of heritage 1t
was beautifully rendered. In response to an
ovation after this number, one of many
offered him during the afternoon, Rosenthal
graciously played dainty little number for
an encore. m
Two other numbers that stand out distinct
from a finely selected programme were the
''Toreador ct Andelouss," of Rubinstein, and
Schubert's "Lindenbaum." There was also
a dainty little berceuse. by Hensolt, that
charmed the audience. But the piece par ex-
cellence Of the afternoon, the one Of which
every member in the audience will carry the
most vivid impression. was the Don Juan

ihere Is growing feeling, too, of the i'm

to extend the anti-contract laws to Hawaii.
1t is significant that every labor organiza-

Abominable FavOritism.

No administration in the country's
history has developed so large a de-
gree of official favoritism as that Of
President Mckinley. Gen. Grant was
accused of nepotism in that, during
his first administration, he appointed
relatives to office. together with their
friends, with a freedom that caused
severe and meritorious criticism. But
the excuse was advanced, and, in many
quarters, out of Difference to his great
military services to the nation. that
he was inexperienced in civil affairs,
kind of heart and, being honest him
self, measured other people by his
own standard. Every one familiar
with the history Of those times will
recall the frequency with which he
was imposed upon and how, gradually
and finally during his second adminis-
tration, he became more circumspect
and in the judgment of some whose in
huence was baffed his refusals to ex-
tend personal favors were characterize
ed as exhibitions of harshness.
But President Mckinley entered
office after an entire score of years in
Washington and in the discharge of
executive duties as governor Of Ohio.
He understood the proprieties of his
position in respect to the matter under
consideration better perhaps, than
any man who ever occupied the White
house. But the Cuban war came and
