AN AWEUL CALAMITY.

We are just beginning to learn the
actual extent of the damage and loss
of life caused by the awful storm that
visited Porto Rico.
Not only are fully one-ffth of the
houses on the island swept away, but
! almost all the fruit, upon which the
Porto Ricans mainly subsist, and other
food products have been destroyed,
leaving the inhabitants without natural
means of subsistence until another
crop grows.
Another appalling feature of the dis
aster is that in "a large part of the ter
ritory there is no drinking water to
be had, the sea having covered large
tracts of land and filled all the wells
with salt water.
Secretary Root has initiated himself
into the labors of the war department
to good purpose by taking prompt ac-
ton to supply the immediate needs OF
the Porto Ricans who are utterly des-
titute.
Meanwhile the generosity of the
American people, which has never been
appealed to in vain. will see to it that
substantial assistance reaches the des-
titute thousands of our new acquisi-
ton in the West Indies, the horror of
whose actual plight is scarcely yet ap-
preciated in this country. Already a
ship load of supplies has been sent from
New York and there is much more to
follow. Every State and all the prin-
cipal cities have been appealed to for
contributions to send to our suffering
fellow-citizens of Porto Rico and the
response will be generous.

rHE CARrER sCANnAL-

In all the scandalous history of the
present scandalous administration
there has be no ranker case than that
of Captain Oberlin NJ Carter of the
United States Engir GERS, found guilty
by court martial nearly two years ago
of assisting in the theft of $1,600,00O
from the Government and sentenced
to be dismissed from the army, to pay
a fine of $4,000, to be imprisoned for
five years and to have the fact of his
conviction and sentence published in
the home paper of his residence in
Pennsylvania.
Yet Carter, who has not even at
tempted to explain away the unani-
nous verdict of the court martial, is a
free man to-day by courtesy of the
President
The New York World publishes the
Presidents side of the story as given
to it by lone of the most prominent
officials of the administration" who
has been at Hotel Champlain with Mr..
Mckinley.
The story opens with the return OF
the voluminous pile of evidence in the
case to the President after it's review
by ex-senator Edmunds. And here
the World pertinently asks: But
why did Mr.. Mckinley refer it to Mr..
Edmunds? Why did he pay Mr.. Ed
munds large sum of the peoples
money to try to find flaws in the
UNANIMOUS verdict of a court-mar-
, tial composed Of FOURTEEN regular
I army officers Major-Gen. Otis pre-
siding-a verdict found upon proofs
which Capt. Carter did not even try to
I explain away, proofs of fraudulent
1 vouchers written by himself, proofs
tthat would satisfy any ones mind OF
his guilt in an hour of attentive read
And after Mr. Edmunds had confessed
shis inability to find excuses for upsettinS
ithe conviction and shielding the thieves,
: why did not Mr.. Mckinley proceed to exc
.cute sentence? Why did he insist upon
Griggs taking the big bundle and trying
shs hand at flaw-picking and excuse-hunt-
sing? Why, after Griggs had spent three
,or four weeks on the job and had con-
sfessed that the task was too big for him,
did the President insist upon his keeping
ION at it?
q To excuse is to accuse The excuse
given for the delay in the Carter case only
amakes it the more apparent that powerful
influences have shielded the cuprit from
his just sentence. and that the President

The reiteration by Gen. Zurlinden of his

In reply TO further questions, Gen. Eur

they must have the four notes therein

At this point Dreyfus interjected:

THE SECRET OF 1T.

The secret of the advancement in
public life of Mr.. Mckinley, a man of
mediocre ability, cannot altogether be
attributed to the use of unlimited
Doodle, though that unquestionably
elected him President in 1896. The
secret of Mr.. McKinley's advancement
before Hanna and Wall street decided
to exploit him for the Presidency is Mr..
McKinley's care in looking after and
remembering his friends. He is a
graduate of the Ohio school of politics
and there are some things he has never
forgotten and which have served him
we'll in the absence of those higher at
tributes of craftsmanship which used
to be the touchstone of success for pub
lie men in this country.
Mr.. Mckinley never forgets a polit-
ical friend and never fails to give due
reward for service rendered. And it
matters not who the friend may be nor
what his service so long as he contrib
uted to Mr.. McKinley's success. 1t
mattered not to the pious gentleman in
the White House for example that
Demas, of Louisiana, who purchased
the negro delegates of that State for
Mr.. Mckinley in the Republican ma
tional convention, was a negro dive
keeper and notorious blackleg of New
Orleans; it mattered not that the en-
tire respectable portion of the Repub-
lican party of Demas's State petitioned
the President against it, Mr.. Mckinley
appointed him collector of the port of
New Orleans-one of the best federal
Offices in the South-as payment for his
dirty work in the convention.
1t is in pursuance of the same policy
that Mr.. Mckinley never overlooks an
Ohio man. for he knows that he can
never afford to lose his grip in his
own State. 1t is this. for instance,
credited soldier and incompetent official
Corbin to the Office of Adiutant Gen
eral. Corbin has no qualification what
ever for this office and was a promi-
nent factor in the plumbers of the de-
partment under Alger's regime. He
entered military life as a lieutenant in
the Seventy ninth Ohio, held field Of
fees in United States colored regi-
ment and finally entered the regular
army after the war as a major of in
fantry.
The scandalous favoritism that has
been shown him. the effort to have
him supplant Gen. Miles as command
ing officer of the United States army,
can be accounted for on no other
ground than that Corbin is an Ohio
man and has pull in his own State.
The rank meanness and injustice of
the war department towards Gen. Miles,
which was laid at the door of Alger,
was surely not all the doing of the
Michigander. We must look to Ohio
politics for the inspiration of Miles S
treatment. The idea was to place an
Ohio man at the head of the army and
Corbin, the discredited incompetent,
was to be the man.
1t was evidently all the Ohio idea.

HATRED OF INDIAN SISTERS
II Results in Their Expulsion
From Cuba by the Papal
Representative.
THEY HAD DONE VALUABLE WORK
General O'Bierne of New York
Explains the Situation and
Expresses His Syr1pa-
thy for the Sisters.

Baltimore, Nd, March 14.-Five
sisters of the American Order of the
Sacred Heart have, according TO dis
patch from Pinar del Rio, been ordered
away from Cuba by Archbishop
Chapelle, the Papal Representative
recently appointed to investigate the
affairs of the Catholic Church in that
island. The news was received by
cable in this city by Gen. james II.
o. Bierne of New York, who is regis
tered at the Hotel Rennert. The mes
sage came from Rev. j. NJ. Craft, an
Indian missionary priest who founded
the American order of the sisters and
who went to Cuba last November with
the five nuns, who are all the daugh-
tiers of Indian chiefs.
The cablegram, which came in Latin,
was thus translated by Gen. O'Bierne.
Archbishop Chapelle orders US to

old hatred against the Gndian) sisters.

Father Crafts reference to the odd
hatred against the Indian sisters means
Just this said the general. 1.-THE
order is purely American, and was
established near Fort Pierre, on the
Dakota border, about six years ago.
The Cahensley element in the church,
those who are in favor of the European
idea in the management Of orders and
church affairs, antagonized Father
Crafts work in establishing this new
order, and he met with much oppo-
sition. He went brayely on with his
undertaking, however, and when the
war with Spain broke out offered the
services of a number of the young

Huntsville. Later on, owing to the
exec mt work they did and the fact
that they were considered immune from
yellow fever, five Of the sisters were
sent to Cuba and were located with
the First Division Hospital of the
Seventh Army Corps at Pinar del Rio.
All through the yellow fever epidemics
IN the Cuban camps the sisters worked
admirably, and to my own knowledge
were complimented by the department
for their excellent work. They were
all the time under the direction of
Father Craft, who accompanied them.
He had met with considerable hos
Utility from the un- American element in
the church, and the opposition to this
new American order OF sisters became
very marked. Nothing like the present
move was, however, expected.

course, great disappointment to
Father Craft, who has Just about COM

pulsion of his order of sisters from

those who believed that the Vatican

will be furnished which will quiet the
fears of those who dread the con-

Americanism element should get the
upper hand"
Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1899-03-16

The depth of political tiepravity in
Delaware was reached at Dover, Mon
day.
Since the memorable occasion, nearly
half century ago, in the Pennsylvania
Legislature at Harrisburg, when three
Democrats Lear, Lebo and Wagon
seller-left their party and voted for
Simon Cameron for United States
Senator, thereby securing his election
by one majority over tho Democratic
caucus nominee, John W. Forney,
nothing has happened in tho political
annals of this country to form a fitting
parallel.
In the course of the final ballotine
for United States Senator at Dover,
three members who were elected as
Democrats deliberately sacrificed tho
honor and reputation of their PARTY
and voted for }. Edward Addicks, thu
Union Republican candidate. These
three members names are as follows:
State Senator Elisha III. +. Far
ioiO Of Little Greek hundred, Sus-
seC county.
Representative WiIiiam f.
King of Little Creek hundred,
Susse.c county.
Representative j. B. Ctark of
West DoUer hundred, X e,,t county.
The motives that induced these men
to desert their party and vote as they
did can only be imagined. But there
is no mistaking what will be the trend
of this imagination, from ono end of
the State to the other. 1t will flow
unerringly in one direction.
The action of these political apostates
is amazing. 1t is hard to comprehend
how any man of character and repu-
tation could so sacrifice himself, when
the results are so absolute. Not one
OF them can ever regain the slightest
portion of the respect and confidence
of his fellow-citizens, that was so en-
phatically manifested at the election
in November last, when they were
chosen to the positions they have dis
graced.
One of these political Judases was a
physician of high standing and large
practice; man who was looked up to
by the people in his community. His
fall is pitiable. Another is q mer-
chant in the town of Laurel. The
third was trusted employe of rail.
road. How can they reconcile their
actions with their consciences? They
can never justify themselves in the
eyes of the people.
Worse than all, is the disgrace that
falls upon the State. We have been
shamed by political corruption; we
have been Inundated by legislation
that bore the strongest suspicion OF
venality. But never before have we
been afflicted with such burden as
this.
But what shall be said Of the men
whose Establishments induced these
constituencies betrayers of the peoples
trust to take the fatal step? Are they
not equally guilty with the offenders
Should not the outraged people OF
Delaware inflict their wrath and con-
demnation upon the tempters as well as
upon those who yielded to the vile
temptation?
