LEZE MAJESTY.

We are becoming quite European,
you know. The most difficult lesson
for American people to learn under the
new code is that they must not criticise
their rulers. Before they can learn that
lesson we'll they must thoroughly up
root that most Leze Majesty idea that
rulers are agents, and in some sense
the servants of the people and adopt
the improved idea that the government
is made for the ruler, if that ruler hap
pens to be a republican; indeed, must
assimilate the idea that government"
and republican administration, are
synonymous terms. Those belated PEG.
pie who make a distinction between the
government of the constitution and that
Of a republican administration and who
regard Bryan as more ~''majectic' in
what he would have done han McAin-
ley in what he has and proposes to do,
will do we'll to stand from under. It is
all right to critie:se and ridicule Bryan
from one end Of the country to the
other, but altogether Leze Majesty to
utter disparagement OF Mckinley from
any quarter or for any eause. And il
that old veteran republican, Senator
Hoar, and other New England people,
presume to oppose the administration
in its visionary, impracticable expsn-
sion schemes, it is altogether legiti-
mate TO ccuse them of being in cahoot
with Aguinaldo through his agent
Agoucillo in this country. Leze Ma
iesty, indeed! these i~rreverent admin
istration people don't even hesitate to
she'll the woods round about Boston,
the hub OF the Universal!
"Repudiator," "Con1scator," and
"Lunaey" served their purpose in '96;
and Spanish sympsthizers' did we'll
enough in the war and in the campaign
of '9S: but sensible people will draw
the line at ''traitor" if applied to those
who oppose the Philippine war with
all its dire consequences at home and
abroad. Sensible people any way are
beginning to take umbrage at these
catch terms and phrases since their per-
sistent use is based on the belief that
| people can be gulled by them.
The expansion plan means q long
continued, and perhaps unsuccessful
war with the Philippine. Even if sue
cessful it means heavy garrisonsto hold
that people in subsection and to pre-
serve order. In either case it means
the sacrifice of innumerable lives, and
untold treasury expenditure. It also
means unlimited Expansion" in PEN
sion claims. But 1t is in the possible
collatural evils that the great danger
for this people lies.
The great Paris Editors and Diplo-
mats tell us that if we enter on expaa-
sion, and build up the requisite regular
! army, President Mckinley may as we'll
now as after the thing occurs bid fare
we'll for his people to freedom and re-
publican government. And the troub-
lie is that the French people are in
magnificent shape to know just how
the thing works, for in no country is
the civil authority more fully domi-
mated by the military. The se-called
French Republic may stand so long as
it does the will Of the Army, as for in
stance In the Dreyfus case; when it

Secretary Alger is offering as great
an insult to the country, by protecting
Commissary General Eagan. as Eagan
offered to Gen. Miles, byhis backyard
ism in calling him numerous kinds of
q liar, in his testimony before the War
Investigators. If Alger thinks that
the people will allow this disgraceful
affair to end with Eagn's revision Of
his testimony, he will find himslf much
mistaken. Eagan deservespunishment,
just as Alger does, and if they don't
get it, so much the worse it will be in
the end for the administration. There
can beno reasonable excuse for any man
accustomed to the association of gentle
men descending to the use of billinsgate
no matter how great the provocation.
In this particular case, Eagan knew
thatthe administration had done ev-
erything possible to humiliate Miles,
and doubtless thought that his abuse
of him would increase his popularity
with the AIger crowd, Instead of Alger
promptly ordering Eagan under araest,
to be court-martialed for language and
conduct unbecoming a soldier and a
gentleman, he had the nerve to say that
Mr.. McKinley's promise Of. protection
to all witnesses made it impossible to
