Our Friends the SuIus.

IF there is anybody in the United
States of North America with tai
ent for composing comic opera, he
will find the richest kind Of mine in
his great and glorious country's treaty
with the sultan of the Sulu islands.
These islands are south of the Phil
ippines. The sultan is a Mahomedan,
and like all great and good Mahome-
dams he runs a first-class harem-at
least it's first-class for Sulu, though
in size and quality it would cut a pref
ty poor figure in comparison with the
establishment of the sultan of Turkey.
Spain had a treaty with the sultan
of Sulu, and, rather than have any
fuss with his imperial hghness, the
United States has agreed with him to
continue that treaty in full force and
effect What was that old Spanish
treaty that we have assumed? In its
first clause the sultan admits the SOW
ereignty of Spain and the Sulus are
declared loyal subjects of the king.
The next clause grants to the sultan
an annual subsidy of s2,400; to the
heir of the sultanate $500, to each mem
Der of the sultan's council of three
$500, or s4,so0'in all. In the third ar
ticle Spain assumes the right to occupy
such points of Sulu archipelago as she
may desire, a right which has not been
exercised to any great extent. The
southern coast of Sulu, where the sui
tan resides, is excepted from this pro-
vision.
The sultan and his people it is ex-
pressly stipulated in the treaty, shall
be allowed to have free exercise of
their religion and customs" For his
part, the sultan generously comedies
that Catholic missionaries shall have
liberty to reside in and visit any point
of Sulu and it's dependencies, giving us
notice, so that they may be accom-
panied in case of danger, without
which notice we shall incur no respon-
sibility for any misfortune which may
happen
There is a great hue and cry in this
country over the election to congress
of a Mormon. But here we are coun-
tenancing the Mahomedan religion on
territory over which the United states
assumes sovereignty, and by treaty
stipulation expressly guaranteeing its
followers that they shall have free
exercise of their religion and customs, -
of which polygamy is the very corner
stone. This imperialistic business is
growing more interesting every day
To guarantee the American flag in Sulu
immunity from attack, we bride the
sultan and assure him we are overjoy-
ed to have him come into our happy
family-with his wives, concubines
eunuchs and all

IF Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio is
not taking too optimistic a view of
it. the chances for a democratic vic
tory in his state this fall are excellent.
The hope of success is based chiefly on
the factional quarrels among the re-
publicans. Mr.. Campbell is of the
opinion that the democratic candidate
for governor will be either John R. Nc
Lean or Allan G. Thurman, either of
whom would be strong before the peo-
pie. The republicans concede that they
will have no walkover in Ohio this fall.
Nash. the republican candidate for gov
ernor, has already appealed to the re-
publican national committee for help
and report has it that leading repubi-
can orators and spellbinders of the
country will be sent to stump Ohio for
the republican state ticket. The Ohio
republicans are trying to rally their
forces together by the plea that dem
ocratic victory in Ohio this fall would
mean the reputation of Mckinley and
the national policy of the administra-
ton. But the Forakerites don't care
about that-most of them will be glad
of a chance to give Mckinley and
Hanna a slap.

es made by the correspondents, that
they were not permitted to send out
the facts as they actually were. It is
confession that he refused to allow
any dispatches to be sent which, in his
judgment, imperiled the public service.
But how could these dispatches imperil
the public service if Otis own reports
were true and the Filipinos were COM
pletely crushed? That was simply i'm
possible.
Then General Otis proceeds to say
that he thinks his dispatches were too
conservative. When we recall the
tenor of these dispatches. in which after
every engagement he had hundreds
and sometimes thousands of Filiplnos
killed and scarcely any of our own men
hurt, in which he always had the
enemy flying in confusion, utterly
routed, demoralized. and the insurrec-
ton on the verge of collapse. with only
one mere little blow necessary to end
the war, when we recall these dis
patches, and then stand confronted "
the cold. hard fact that he holds very
little more territory now than he did
when the fighting began. while Aguin-
aldo is still in the field at the head cf
his army, we find ourselves uncon-
sciously wondering whether General
Otis knows the meaning of the word
conservative" as applied to an official
statement If the old gentleman really
and truly thinks that he did not claim
enough. there is nothing in the world
to prevent him from starting right in
and claiming more. If he did all sorts
OF bad things to Aguinaldo of which lie
has not yet apprised us, he has full
command of the cable and should start
right in. The people will be delighted
TO learn 1t, and it will go a long way
toward settling these mischief making
correspondents who are attempting to
deprive him of his hard-earned glory
But, seriously, the correspondents
have the better of the controversy. The
circumstance that they were compelled
to apply to him for permission to cable
the truth has a bad look, on its face.
1t shows that they have been prevented
from doing it previously, and the
American people will naturally want to
know what there was in the situation
that Otis was afraid to have sent lest
it might 'imperli the public interest"
Manifestly he feared to have the people
know the truth.
Then, 1T will occur to thinking men
that the correspondents had less mo-
tive in disappearing than Otis had.
He was naturally anxious to make the
best showing possible for himself. while
they were concerned merely in getting
straight news for their papers. Nor
will the plea put forth that they repre-
sented anti-administration publications
hold good, for the fact is their papers
were of different political compilations,
some of the correspondents belong

But back OF it all stands the conclusive
fact that, if everything had been right,

Otis and the Round Robin.

~HE term round robin" has a
soft and mellifluous sound. It
is suggestive of the beautiful
red-breasted warbler whose sweet song
ds ever welcome in northern ATTITUDES
as the first note of the coming spring,
But there is a vast difference between
a robin and a round robin; and General
Otis seems to have discovered it. He
Is in a peck of trouble over the round
robin recently sent from Manila by the
correspondents who had stood his CEN
sorship as long as Ney felt it to be
necessary or proper.
In brief. the correspondents say that
their dispatches We're "blue-penciled"
TO such an extent that they failed not
only to state the views Of the writers,
but actually departed far and wide
from the truth. and that their own dis
patches, thus censored. coupled with
the official reports, incorrectly repre-
scented the situation in the Philippines,
putting it in far more favorable light
than the real facts warranted All of
this General Otis denies. He says that
the correspondents first asked leave to
cable that the official reports misrep-
resented conditions. This he refused.
They then desired, he says, the privi-
Iege of sending without reservation
the facts found by them and also their
opjnion." This" he tells us, was
granted, d. public interests were not
tmperiled."
In this latter statement General Otis
admits the truth OF the charg-
