one Lesson OF San Juan Hill.

II was we'll for the National
Guard of the State that Governor
Roosevelt did not mince words in
dealing with the poltroonery of
the officers OF the Seventy-frst
Regiment who kept so discreetly
out oi danger in the attack on San
Iuan Hill. That distressing incl
dent at San Juan shows that the
present system OF selecting Ma
tional Guard Officers is far from
the best. The fact that a man is a
genial and can cajole votes in an
armory does not prove that he is
the right sort OF an officer to lead
men into battle. A difficulty oi
the Guard has been that it has set
more store by an officers social
standing than his knowledge OF
war and his ability to fight. In
pointing out the perils to the ser
vice OF the present msthod of
selecting officers, the Governor
has done disagreeable duty in a
very ins ructive way. What the
National Guard wants are officers
who know how to take care oil their
men as well in the field as in the
camp; brave men, not towards;
fighters, not "handshakers."
There is dissatisfaction in the
ranks OF the District National
Guard, which does not seem to be
due, however, to a surplus of
"handshakers" or "genials" or
what may be termed good fell
lows" The contrary seems to be
she case. Whatever the cause, our
District Guard seems to need an
overhauling, and in such overhaul
ing it would be we'll to cut out all
appointments due to soci al or busi-
ness connections and let military
knowledge and experience be the
sole rule governing appointments.
A Guard based ON any other foun-
dation will not stand the test.

Admiral SchleY

has been ignored and really hu.
inflated by the Administration,
whilst Admiral Dewey, whose vic
tory was no greater than that Of
Schlsy, is constantly praised and
presented for extraordinary honor.
Dewey IS picked out to smother
the indignation against Mckinley,
when the enormous loss OF our
volunteers is made known. He is
to accompany Mckinley through
out the country, on a big parade,
to shed some Of DeweY's sunshine
on that dark picture OF American
soldiers killed, in spite OF their
agreement to be dismissed immedi-
ately after peace with Spain was
declared, and without any obliga-
tions on their part to fight for the
conquest Of the Philippines.
We hope, however, Admiral
Dewey will not allow himself to
be a catspaw for McKInley's
crimes. For, whatever the result
may be, we still consider that war
against a foreign people-without
any right or justice in it-a crime
against mankind, the glorious his
tory OF this country, and the prin-
ciples upon which we established
our Own Government in 1916.

Meeting Of ofIrfsh.AmericAns,

At meetings Of Irish-American
publicans, held in the parlors
he Ebbit House Monday and
sday of this week, an organi-
-auon was effected which mas for
its purpose organized political op.
position to the doctrine OF expan-
sion and the retention OF the Phil
ippine Islands by the United States.
This movement was started by
several Irish-Americans, including
Col. Patrick O'Farrell, OF this city.
tits no credit to the Administration
that the meeting had to be con-
Quoted behind closed doors, be-
cause Of the presence OF many Re.
publican employees, whose posi-
tions would be jeopardized were it
known that they had held opinions
at variance with the policy of the
Administration and had taken oc-
casion to express them. Free
speech seems to be no longer a
prerogative Of the American citi.
zen.
The task OF drawing the Irish
American citizens into the party
will devolve largely upon Colonel
O'Farrell, who is one of the most
enthusiastic members of the organ
ization. Col. O'Farrell has always
been Republican, and before the
existence of that party was an alb.
olitionist. During the last Presi-
dental campaign he was on the
stump six or seven weeks in the
interest OF Mr.. Mckinley. Dis
cussing the proposed organization,
Col. O'Farrell said:
81 have always been a Republi.
can, but / am unalterably opposed
to this new doctrine of imperial
ism. I believe we should conhne
ourselves to this continent and the
islands contiguous.
Mr.. O'Farrell will find many
Democrats to stand with him on
this proposition. tits an eminently
sound one.

War Taxes and a Deficit.

Secretary Gage admitted at Hot
Springs that "there will be a de.
ticit Of more than SIoo. 900, 900 at
the close ofthe current fiscal year, "
The deficit at the last report was
SIo9, ,ooo, 900, and this is certain to
be considerably increased by the
expenditures during May and
June.
Secretary Gage looks for a ina
terial decrease" in the deficit next
year. He hopes 1t will not be more
than $50, 900, ,ooo, land expects to get
along without another bond issue.
He comedies, however, that "ii
something unforeseen develops it
may become imperative to put the
per cents on the market"
The something unforeseen is not
unlikely to be the claims oil our
citizens for damages sustained in
Cuba under the Spanish rule,
which by the treaty OF Paris the
United States agreed to pay.
Twenty million dollars is a low
estimate tor these claims, and it
now appears that large claims for
damages incurred by British, Ger
man and French residents in Cuba
during the recent insurrection will
be pressed against the United
States. They aggregate, it is esti-
mated, fully $40, 900, 900.
Meanwhile our war expenses in
the Philippines are certainly not
growing less, and the lowest limit
for the present appears to have
been reached in Cuba and Porto
Rico. The adamantine fact re-
mains that the war taxes, passed
for a specific purpose long since
accomplished, are not only to stand
permanently, but even with this
addition to our revenues there is a
great and continuing deficiency.

One OF the Presidents Friends.

The case Of Captain Carter, con-
victed by a court martial and SEN
fenced to be dismissed from the
army, fined and imprisoned for
robbing the Government OF S3,-
900, 900, has again been brought
to the attention OF the Attorney
General.
Ex-senator Idmunds, who re-
viewed the case at the request Of
Secretary Alger, has come to the
conclusion that Captain Carter
may be dismissed under the evil
denCe, but that the fine and i'm.
prisonment inflicted by the court
should not stand, because the
papers OF the accused "were un-
lawfully used by the court"
Carter stole the money, lined his
pockets and those of the contrac-
tors who were favored by him with
S $1,000, 600 OF Government funds.
and richly deserves dismissal, but
his political and social influences
are so strong that it would never
do to send him to the penitentiary
for FIVE years. President McKin-
ley has taken a personal interest
in the notorious case, and he is re-
sponsible tor the DELAY OF eighteen
months in carrying out the verdict
OF the court-martial.
Carter will gladly compromise
on dismissal. He is $1,000, 900
ahead Of the game, and a little
thing like losing his shoulder
straps will not disturb him. It
only gives him needed leisure to
spend his stealings.

From this it will be seen that

ofthe son and the companion is reaching
a climax, the village busybody learns
something of the girls story, and tells
the farmer. He investigates just far
enough to learn that there is some
element OF truth in the story, and then
orders the girl to leave his house. It is

Private John Allen" described as
"a play Of politics, love and orange
blossoms in Louisiana" +" by Lee Arthur,
author of "We'uns of Tennessee" now
running in New York City, will be the
Frawley Company's offering at the
Columbia Theatre next wSek. The play
is entirely new to the stage, and will
receive its first presentation at the hands
Of a select cast, headed by the well
known Washington actor, Mr.. Charles
B. Hanford, who proposes to star in the
piece next season, if it comes up to his
expectations. The author, Mr., Arthur,
is an experienced actor, as we'll as a
playwright, and is here personally con-
ducting the reheaTsals. "Private John
Allen" takes its name from a Louisiana
politician, who earned his unique title in
the Confederate army. but 1t is in no
sense war play, as the action takes
place in 1880. It is in four acts, which
call for some elaborate stage settings,
including quaint scene outside Col.
Nat Stones livery stable, two rooms in
John Aliens residence, and the court
house, of Caddo Parish, where the play
is laid. Mr., Arthur is a native Of Lou
isians, so it is safe to expect that the
pictures he gives OF life in the Bayou
State will be truthful in every detail.
while the characters will be types of
Southern society.
