BROOKE AND WOOD.

Three months ago The Herald called
attention to the arrogance and utter
inability of General Brooke to get along
with men or to perform administra-
tive duties. He is the officer who de-
clared before leaving Washington that
he would courtmartial every private in
the army who complained of his ra-
tions. And after he went to Cuba he
undertook to enforce against the ig-
norant and unoffending natives the
very strictest kind of martial disci-
pline.
At the same time The Herald pointed
out the eminent success that General
Leonard Wood, formerly colonel of the
Roosevelt rough riders, had made of
his government of Santiago province.
and remarked that General Wood was
a far better man for the position of
governor general of Cuba than any
other, with the possible exception of
General Fitzhugh Lee.
After months of experimenting, the
administration has begun to realize
that Wood is a better man for the place
lldH ID DIOOht, anu an excuse mas just
been found, according to dispatches
printed yesterday, to relieve the latter
from the further prosecution Of the
work assigned him.
General Wood is certainly a man of
great administrative and executive
ability, as he has shown in every post
he has filled.
General Brooke has utterly failed to
harmonic the crude people and disor-
DERBY elements he has had to deal
with, while the success of General
Wood in his allotted province has been
highly pleasing to the natives and sat
isfactory to Americans.
What is needed in Cuba is common
sense administration of affairs. di-
vested of red tape and the exactions
of the old. Spanish system. And this is
something out of General Brooke's line
entirely. He is naturally a tyrant, if
one may judge from his utterances and
his course in Cuba, and lacks the first
essential of being able to deal with
common people in a way to enlist their
confidence and interest.

WHITE ON FUNSTON.

William Allen White, the famous au-
thor of western sketches. a kansan
himself and an old schoolmate of Cen
eral Fred Funston, has written an in
teresting description of the red-headed
terror of the Rio Grande of LuZon and
an accurate account Of his adventurous
career.
Funston is one of the greatest heroes
of the crop produced in the fighting of
the past year and by far the most pic
turesque An article by one who knows
him like brother and who possesses
the literary talent for which William
Allen White is justly celebrated, will
certainly be worth reading. The story
will appear in tomorrow's Herald, il
Illustrated with cuts of Funston as an
explorer in the torrid deserts OF the
south and in the icebound regions of
the north; as soldier under Garcia in
Cuba long before war was declared by
the United States against Spain, and
as drill-master at the Preside; as a
hunter IN the Rocky Mountains md as
a hero in the Philippines story by
one who knows his subject like d book
and makes his book as real as the man
himself.
Sundays Herald will contain a ro-
nance of apprentice boys at sea. de-
scription of New York's finest bath
room, dissertation on crime and its
cure, a timely article on beef for SOL
diers. the usual fashion notes, wo-
mans page, and special articles of To-
cal and general interest.

UTAH WAS PROUD OF HIM.

The Denver News pays the following
editorial tribute to a fallen hero of the
Utah light artillery:
Major General Otis reports the
name of Sergeant Ford A Fisher Of the
Utah battery as killed on May II. He
was shot by the Filipino Insurgents
from ambush, as reported in the press
dispatches of Sunday. The deceased
was we'll known in Denver as the oldest
was born in Delaware. removing with
quentiy to this city, where his boyhood
days were passed. About eight years
ago the family removed to Salt Lake
City, where they have since resided.
Sergeant Fisher was about "a years of
age. he was well educated, fond OF
hunting and outdoor sports, and in all
respects a young man of high char
acter and attachments. He was one
of the first to enlist for the war, and
was made sergeant of the battery in
which he served with distinguished
bravery. He was a splendid specimen of
young american manhood. the idol of a
fond mother and sister. and 2 soldier
OF whom Utah and the nation had
every reason 10 be proud. His death Will
be deeply deplored by a wide circle OF
friends whose sympathy Will go out to
the parents in their bereavement.
Utah certainly was proud of this
young hero. and the state mourns his
untimely death as she has mourned the
sacrifice Of her native sons.

BLUSTER is NOT BRAVERY.

In commenting on the Wardner riot
about two weeks ago The Herald said:
Men who kill their fellow beings and
destroy property arc criminals, and
should be dealt with as such. But we do
not believe the Miners union or fedora
ton should be held responsible for the
acts os individuals. or that innocent mem
De.-. 81 such organizations should be made
% Sld1fc>r on account of the misdeeds of
:EiriviSuals. any more than n church
should be condemned and its entire mem
by-siiip ostracized for the misconduct of
sbme of its accredited ministers or MEM
GERS.
Our morning contemporary, referring
to the same matter, called delegates to
the miners federation blatherskites-
Observation-Disclosures criminals-black-
guards-anarchists and accessories to
murder.
The Herald drew the line of distinc-
ton between labor union men and
criminals, and said:
Men who do not respect the lives and
property rights OF Others should not be
permitted to be at large. But all anar-
chists are not on the labor side. News
papers make a mistake TO assume that
they are. The government should try to
enforce the law upon the one class as
well as upon the other.

TOO INQUlSTTIvE.

The Sacramento Bee reviews our
morning contemporary recent editor
ial on the financial question, and says:
1.-The Salt Lake Tribune seems to have
abandoned the silver cause
Continuing, the Sacramento paper
calls attention 10 the Tribune's remark
that IF silver is ever restored it will
have to come across the sea-
And the Bee says:
Certainly it will. if all the silver men
throw down their arms. And then the
result will be that it never will be re
stored. If as the Tribune says. silver
must he restored from across the sea
how can that restoration come. If those

the abolition Of slavery. The Salt Lake
Tribune has declared time and time again
that the slavery forced upon the people

York Press has his revenge. He quotes
from the Salt Lake Tribune as
follows:
Our judgment is that it is useless to
make another stand for silver in this
country until conditions change. When
the American farmer between the crest
OF the Alleghanies and The crest of the
Rockies is starving at home, and a mort
gage is pressing upon him, he is a good
silver man. Just as soon as he gets a
fair price, for one crop, then he takes
high moral ground and thinks it would be
a cheat to force "'hfty-cent dollars" upon
his country.
Then the "microcephalouS creature, y"
recalling some of the "ante-mortem
declarations of the late departed Trib-
une, says:
This (the Salt Lake Tribune) is the
paper, we believe. which has insisted
on hanging to a telephone pole-always
a telephone pole; nothing else would do
every man who would not accept
Bryan's free silver views. Evidently it
gives UP the fight in despair because
there are not enough telephone poles
to go around among the farmers of the
United States
Moral: Be sure you know where you
are at before you go ahead. Never
abuse people for advocating cause
you are apt to espouse yourself before
the echoes of the abuse die awav
Politics makes strange bedfelows."
Therefore, do not accuse a man of be-
ing an associate of robbers and bed
fellow of fools until you ascertain
whether or not you are booked to &C.
cupy the same room with him.

The Cleveland Leader is not so
bigoted and blinded by sectional preju-
dice as the New York Sun seems to be-
Speaking of Funstons exploits in the
Philippines the Leader says: But
Colonel Funston is only a type of the
western volunteers-the men from
Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Utah and California
who have been in the thickest of the
fighting in the Philippines. They have
displayed a courage equal to that of
the regulars, and have proved that they
are fighters who can be depended upon
in all emergencies.
