Letters from private soldiers of our ar
my in the Philippines, reveal a situa-
ton which, if generally known, would
cause those to halt who are melting the
government to pursue any longer its
campaign of conquest. Enough news
has escaped the censor at Manila, to
arouse the Suspicion that our "victory"
over the natives was accomplished by
monstrous slaughter. Now letters from
private soldiers not only confirm the sus-
picion, but prove that half has not been
told. One of our boys describes the
scene as beyond his power to picture.
Over 5000 natives were buried by our
army around Manila, and this takes no
account of those whose bodies were dis
posed of by theil friends. AT the time
of the fight within the city, women and
children huddled together like fright
ened sheep, and pushed in drovss. The
soldier writes that it makes him faint and
sick. He begs that this letter be not
printed, nor his name mentioned, and we
must respect his confidence, especially so
since some of his company have been
made to suffer because they wrote letters
which contained facts. We cannot but
wonder at the necessity for keeping up
the strict censorship Of thepress respect
ing news from the Philippines, now that
the war with Spain is definitely closed.
Has the administration anything to con.
ceal? If so, from whom? Surely not
from the ''insurgent army" for they
know to we'll what is happening amongst
them. If it IS designed to keep infor-
nation from the American public, what
advantage is there, and to whom? The
facts will surely come out and be blaz.

When politician, with more dollars
than principle, contributes an immense
sum to the campaign fund Of his party
and demands place in the cabinet Of
the president as reward for his gener-i
osity, that is "Algerism."
When cabinet officer uses his place
to advance personal friends without re-
gard to their qualification or deserts
that is "Alger;sm."
When Secretary of War, who during
his career as soldier narrowly escaped
court-martial for cowardice, mismRDages
his department, proves his incapacity at
every turn, permits his subordinates to
contract for unfit food, and gives lolitl-
cal appointments in the army to the
worthless ssSoIs of Sombodies"- is
Algerism.
When public official, whose blunders
are so costly and whose conduct of the
most important branch of government at
this time is so feeble and Ineffective that
the whole country, irrespective Of party,
rises up and clamors for his resignation,
and the offender clings to the portfolio
he has disgraced and refuses to acknowl-
edge his unworthiness-that is 'sAlger-
ISM" s.: ~ ... ~..
There are other phases of this blight
ing disease, but the above diagnosis
should sufficiently enlighten our bewild-
cred Republican contemporary, which
has so p]alntively appealed for a defini-
tion of "Algerism."
tried for the murder of George Saxton,

fore the public. It IS said that she now
contemplates demanding wife's share
of the Saxton estate, besides posing as
an attraction (freak) in some dime muse

Saxton, the lecherous liberrine has met
the fate which he fully deserved, we ad-
nit, although seduction of, and taking
the law into her own hands by Mrs.
George has hardly oeen considered IN the
proper light.
Mr.. George secured a divorce, and the
woman, who had sold herself to Saxton,
regardless of any sense of virtue, pro-
priety or any instinct of womanly and
motherly feelings, openly lived off the
munlfcence of her seducer(O The lat

and as a consequence was killed. A ju-
ry brought verdict of not guilty and
Mrs. George ought now to strive to lead
an honest life. But no, induced by some
eccentric friends, she forces herself into
publicity, thereby losing the sympathy
rendered her by the majority of the peo-
pie during the time of her trial. AS a
lectu rer she would be an anomaly and
she could lecture to men only. No man
would or should allow his wife, his
daughter or his sister to listen to the
utterances of woman such as Mrs.
George is. Her moral character is not
such as to enable her to pass as model
woman before the public.

The latest intelligence from the seat
OF imperialist warfare in the state Of
Ohio is encouraging. Even the faithful
in that favored political section of the
country are not as one on the supreme
blessings which have come upon vi
through the ascendancy of the great pro-
duct of Ohio craftsmanship, the Hon
Marcus Hanna.
For many weeks past the war upon
Hanna has been assuming lerge proper
tions. Even the followers of this great
statesman themselves are at war.
The fight is to be essentially Hanna
and anti-Hanna struggle. Both sides
keep their eyes steadily fixed on the ma
tional administration, and even the anti
Hanna phalaux are unwilling to forego
their chance at share of the loaves and
fishes in case their antagonlsm toward
the real head of the administration
should not be crowned with success.
The outcome of the struggle will be
watched with interest by the country.
Hanna will win. The Lord has been said
to be always on the side of the heaviest
artillery, and He usually is in imperial
ist politics, in Ohio and elsewhere. Han
na ought to win. He has become some
thing of national institution. He has
an encouraging influence on the progress
Of pure imperialist politices. He is un-
surpassed even by Quay, and is in no es-
pecial danger of being beaten in the race
for national distinction, even by the great
Platt himself. As Hanna is understood
to be the original trust promoter, so he
is the mainstay and backbone of the
movement within the Republican party.
We cannot get along without him. Bet
ter dispense with Imperialism and the
trust movement itself rather than retire
Hanna to private life. His opponents
will doubtless learn ere long that the
small matter of winning mans way to
the United States senate, and incidental
ly to the position of chief guide, philos-
opher and friend to an American presi-
dent, is not, IN lmperialist politics, mat
ter of enough significance to waste any
breath on.-St. Paul Globe

AS the Filipines are neither 'insurg-
ents'' nor ''rebels," not having recog-
nized American rule, the best and most
truthful term by which to designate
them is "contumacious two-dollar chat
tels," as the $2O,00O,OOO paid to Spain,
divided by 1O,000,00O, the number Of
F1lipinos purchased, gives that small
sun as quotient. There is nothing like
simple arithmetic to settle any contro-
verted point.

Mr.. MCKINLEY has suspended the civ
il service rules of 1000 jobs and left the
places open for his adherers. 1t is an
act to be regretted by every good citi-
zen, as civil service reform is reduced by
it to an insignificant place.

i
THE timely and we'll advised action
of Gov. Lind in favor of having the 18th
Minnesota recalled from the Philippines
IS plainly manifested by letter from
Mayor Law, surgeon of that regiment:
"The spirit of the men is magnificent,
those who are standing the grief are hard
and we'll.
As yet we see nothing ahead Of us for
many weary months, perhaps a year.
They have made no move here to send
any volunteers home, though the signal
corps were asked how many would vol
unteer for another year if they we're al
lowed travel pay. They all refused ex-
cept two. Whole regiments will refuse
in body. The volunteers feel that they
have not been tenderly dealt with and
now that the peace treaty is signed and
ratified they feel they should be sent
home. This, with the fact that the re-
gulars are kept in town while volunteer
regiments are made to do much of the
work on the firing line and elsewhere
does not offer much of an inducement
for them to reenlist.
There is no lack of patriotism in this,
only they enlisted for the war with Spain
this is closed page in history and they
do not feel called upon to volunteer to
fight natives in the islands, the retention
of which few of them believe in,
We cannot refrain from taking en-
phatic exception to the utterances of
the gallant (O Astor battery who went
home and escaped trouble. The papers
that have come to us from the east tell
of how the 18th Minnesota broke for the
rear on 18th of August last; they say as
we'll that we gave no support to the AS
tors. The facts of the matter were, we
recaptule ed their guns after they had been
driven from them. Their revolver charge
consisted in their firing from around
corners and nearly shooting our colonel
Criticism from such men, Who were re
markable for naught save exclusiveness
touches the honor of the regiment tn the
quick.
Gen. MacArthur's report gave credi
to whom 1t was due, and we who ART
fighting savages who have no conception
of civilized warfare; who are doing duty
that takes all the nerve and stamina mel
can command, who have eighty wounded
and thirty five dead and have just beer
notified that owing to cur gallant worl
lieutenant will be appointed to the reg
ular army from our regiment, cannot bu
rebuke the littleness that prompts mel
to detract from the credit due men VIII,
have, who are and who will risk or los
their lives when ordered to do so.
We are frank in wanting to 60 home
but when we do 60 1t will be with tn
consciousness of sacrifices made and du
ty we'll and faithfully done.' 49,
A Republican contemporary in tn
/ throes OF perplexity asks "What is AL
gerism?" That is an easy one.
When millionaire, with no claim t,

AT last the only man has been dis
covered who at some future time will be
regarded as model chief magistrate of
the United States, if elected. This dis
covery is due to preacher of Cleveland,
Ohio, who in his Memorial Day address
gave utterance tc the following:
II do not pretend to great political
wisdom, and | am not saying what I am
about to say with any reference to the
Immediate future, but want to say de-
liberately, that when the time comes, and
great political party wants presiden-
tial candidate as pure in character as
George Washington, as cultured in mind
as John Quincy Adams, as tierJ and
dauntless in spirit as Andrew Jackson,
as capable of sacrifice as Abraham Lin
coin, as brave as Ulysses S. Grant, and
with the bulldog tenacity as Grover
Cleveland, all in one man at the same
time, they will find it in Theodore Roose-
velt, more completely, to my judgment
than in any other man whose star has ris
en- in the political horizon of American
history
circumstances alter cases, or as the
Roman of olden times said: sTempers
mutantur and nos mutamur in ills
The Teuton places it differently by say
ing "Ja Bauer, das ist etwas Anderes, ,
but it all tends to show that it is correc,
when used to further ones own interests
President Gonzago of the Filipino
Peace Commission, after failing to Sc
cure terms Of peace exclaimed:
"We greatly appreciate the courtes,
shown US. We have spent some tim
with your commissioners, incidental,
considering the American constitution
Its principles impress us profoundly
The plan of government offered tn
Philippines seems, in theory, good col
onial system. But why should a natio
with YOUR constitution seek to make
colony of a distant people who hav
been so long fighting against Spain t
secure the same rights your constitution
gives? You fought the same battle il
America when you fought against Eng
land" ....-z' ....-. @e-.
Is there word in the above that i
not true? Two years ago an Amerlcal
would not have been called copper
head for endorsing the above sentiments
It is different now.
