MANILA, July 16, via Hong Kong,
July 21.-Chiet Surgeon Woodruff has
sent vigorous protest to the war de-
partment through Gen. Otis against
the inadequate force, equipment, and
accommodations for the hospital SER
vice at Manila. He declines further
the responsibility for the health of the
army unless the improvements he
recommends are adopted. Gen. Otis
himself has refused Surgeon Wood
hull permission to make any altera-
tons in the service. Twenty per cent

tails or quarters and the doctors and
nurses are worn out with extra duty,

not equal his record of 2:10, made last
week at Peoria, but he showed good

MisquOting Dewey.

1t is not supposable that Admiral
Dewey was correctly quoted by Mr..
McCauley. In October last Dewey
wrote over his own signature to Presi-
dent Brown of Norwich University:
81 trust that the entire archipelago
will be retained by the United States.
Any other arrangement viii lead to no
END of trouble" OF course the admiral
is in favor of whatever is necessary for
the retention Of the Philippines. In
any case, as loyal officer of the United
States and as one who is careful what
he says, he would not call in question
the policy determined on by bis govern
ment. Least of all it is possible that
he could have declared that he would
disobey his orders or up anchor and
leave his post of duty, of course he
never said any such thing.-Free Press.

ABUSED HIS Au1AoRlTys


One of the leading authorities on in
ternational law in this country. Francis
A. Brooks, holds that President McKin-
ley has not only taken advantage of
his nigh Office to irritate and subjugate
the F'ilipinos. but that he perverted the
treaty making power by outlining in
advance the instrument brought back
from Paris by his commissioners. act
ing under his instructions.
Mr.. Brooks quotes from the consti-
tuition, the Declaration of Independ-
ence. the public utterances OF men who
framed the constitution, the declaTa-
tions of the president and of congress
men in reference to the purpose Of the
war with Spain, from the resolution
which guaranteed independence to the
abused colonists. from the promises
made by American consuis to the Fill
pinos and ratified by the secretary of
state, from official documents showing
an acceptance OF Aguinaldo's services
under the conditions agreed to by the
representatives OF this government, and
then he adds:
But the browning offense of President
Mckinley IN this matter is the use made
by him of the treaty-making power as
the means of acquiring from Spain do
minion and control by the United States
over the political condition of a remote
people against their will and by employ
ing the army and navy to accomplish that
end. We suppose that the treaty-making
power was conferred on the president by
the constitution i'm the interest of peace.
and that il is "a gross abuse and perver-
sion of that power to employ or avail of
it as an excuse for S6bjecting an unwill-
ing people To the dominion of the United
States, as is now being done by the presi-
dent.
If the president had simply main
tanned the authority of our govern
ment, as it is claimed in his behalf. and
had not undertaken the subjugation of
the islanders-begun by ignoring rec
ognized allies and regulating the
agreements under which their services
had been obtained--the hloodshed in the
Philippines would have been avoided.
The trouble is that Mr.. Mckinley
has been carrying out a policy of war.
conquest and subjugation without
word CT consultation with congress.
representing the sovereign power of the
American people. He has trusted to
his party majority in congress for
vindication of his sanguinary course.
and perhaps he reckoned with his host.
The constitution, the law, the right of
men and the principles of justice seem
TO weigh lightly with the present adj
ministration

POLYGAMoUs P0STMAsTERs
Boston Post.)

L
There is considerable force in the pisa
of Congressman Roberts of Utah. that
he had no reason to suppose a polygam-
list would be refused a seat in Repub-
lican house of representatives while a
Republican president was commissioning
other polygf mists as postmasters in his
state If men living in violation of law
with several wives are fit in the opinion
of President Mckinley. TO hold positions
of trust under his commission as execu-
tive of the United States government.
surely no one who desires to stand by
the president can refuse to SIT alongside
one of the SINE sort in congress. The
reelection upon the presidents conduct
would be too harsh.
The worst of is that the president seems
to have been fully informed of the polyg-
amous practices of the men whom he re-
warded with the gift of appointment as
postmasters for their services to the Re-
publican party in Utah. Protests and all
davits appear to have been showered upon
him while these appointments were pend
ing. and he went calmly ahead and made
them.
These facts do not make il any more
desirable or tolerable that a polygamist
should hold seat in congress. But
they do explain why Mr.. Roberts i'm
agined that polygamy was considered of
no particular account under the Repub-
lican administration, and they do place
the Republican house of representatives
in very queer attitude toward the Re
publican president.
1t is well that these facts have been
brought out. 1t would never do to es-
tablish the precedent that Republican
polygamists are to be honored with pub
lie office at the hands of a Republican
president. while Democratic polygamists
are to be punished by exclusion from
office to which they have been elected by
the people. This incongruity is a little
too rank. While congress is about the
work of moral publication, it had better
make clean sweep of the whole lot,
Mckinley's pet polygamists included.

REED AND HIS RULES

Henderson will probably learn that
Reed and not his rules governed the
house says the New York World.
Mr.. Reeds rules were not so harsh
except as they were enforced by the
author. He was an autocrat in the
house, recognizing whomsoever he
pleased whether the chair had been
addressed or not. counting votes which
had never been cast. and announcing
decisions that the house had never
reached.
In England the speaker is only. a
presiding officer and does not neces-
sarily step down when his party is
defeated. He is there to carry out the
pleasure Of the assemblage rather than
compel il to do his own.
Since 1890 the speaker Of the lower
house of the American congress has
been the whole show. 1t is related
that, during the existence of the Fifty
first congress the late Mr. Grain of
Texas was in the gallery pointing out
celebrities on the floor to a party of
tourists.
Who is that big fellow sitting up
there with that mallet in his handg'
he was asked. That" replied Grain,
that is the American congress.
Il was Tom Reed. CT course.
