He Owes an Apology.

~ ENERAL MERRITT ought to
~ embrace the first opportunity
for making an humble apology
to the volunteer soldiers who enlisted
from the states of the Northwest. When
selected last summer ITO command the
Philippine expedition he wrote letter
to the president In which he said, Il
desire to point in very emphatic terms
to the fact that the volunteers from the
Northwest are not as well drilled or
disciplined as those from any state in
the East or interior. For that reason l
urgently request the number Of regular
troops I have asked for
Merritt was certainly away off in his
opinion and the results have abundant
ly demonstrated it. Outside of the reg
ulars and the rough riders, the only
soldiers who have distinguished them
selves are the Western troops now at
Manila. The volunteers from the East
and the interior, with the exception Of
the rough riders, did not distinguish
themselves at Santiago. Surely no SOL
diers on earth have ever shown greater
courage and more energy than the SOL
diers at Manila.

Current Comment.
As to Kissing.

From the Boston Herald.
1t pleases Senator Mark Hanna to de-
nounce the people of Boston for having,
as he expresses it, insulted Secretary AL
ger during the latter's recent visit here.
That is the way Hanna puts it, and it is
presumed that he refers to the Kisses that
were heard in the crowds through which
the presidential party proceeded. These
Kisses are set down as a shameful abuse
of hospitality, but it seems to be due to
the hosts of the occasion that they were
in no way responsible for these demon
STATIONS The hisses for Alger and the
cheers for the president and the other
distinguished guests came from the same
crowds, and we suppose there is no ques-
ton that both the Kisses and the cheers
expressed the popular sentiment here with
respect to those at whom they We're di-
rected. Kissing may betoken bad man.
ners, but it is a popular way of express
ing dsapprobation, and it is not peculiar
to this section of the country. We see
no occasion for apologizing for it. 1t is
one of the penalties that people are likely
to incur everywhere when they have
earned for themselves popular condemna-
ticn.

be postponed indefinitely the right OF
this government to build small war
ships at yards on the Great Lakes and
will render useless the appropriation OF
$780, 900 which has been made for the
construction of warship for the Great
Lakes. Another embarrassing consa-
quence is likely to be the obstinacy or
Great Britain in connection with the
attempts to secure modification of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty, looking to the
construction of the Nicaragua canal. 1t
has been plainly intimated to the state
department at Washington that the
canal treaty negotiation would have to
await the result of the commercial
treaty and might be affected by the
latter. The refusal of the United States
to make the concessions desired may
have the effect of England refusing TO
concede rights desired by this country
under the canal treaty.
No one would wish this country to
any material rights in Alaska,
but the Nicaragua canal is matter of
extreme Importance and England is in
a position to make a great deal of
trouble on that matter if disposed to be
obstinate. From every point of view
it is to be regretted that the commits
sioners failed to come to an agreement.

Scared the Sultan.

~ REAT BRITAIN did not lose any
" time in bringing the sultan of
Oman up standing. II learned
that the sultan had leased a coaling
station in his dominions to France and
the British lion growled. Several ships
were sent to Muscat, the capital of
Oman, bombardment of the city was
threatened and the sultan quickly came
to terms. ..'n
In case of war between Great Britain
and France the Importance to France
of coaling station at Oman would be
1nestimable Oman occupies the south
eastern angle of Arabia. 1t has an
area of $1,000 square miles and a. pop
ulation of 100000 The chief city, Mus
kat, was long held by the Portuguese,
but went out of their hands during the
seventeenth century. Oman is sup
posed to be an independent state, but
it is essentially under British protec-
ton, which is the first step towards
becoming part of the great British
empire. Oman borders on the Indian
ocean and the Persian gulf A fleet
after traversing the Suez canal, the
Red sea and the gulf of Alden, en- route
to Chinese waters, would find coaling
station in Oman, or in that vicinity,
very essential. The opposite coast of
Northeastern Africa is held by Italy,
with the exception of the British
Somali coast protectorate. Midway
between the African coast and Oman
is the island of Sokotra, which is held
by the British. The town of Alden, on
the southern coast of Arabia, is like
wise held by the British. In the mar
row strait of ab-el-Mandeb, which
connects the Red sea with the gulf of
Alden, is the little island of Perrin, also
owned by the British. Just inside the
Red sea are the Zebawir islands, like
wise held by the British.
England seems to have France
pretty well blocked in the road to the
East and does not intend to lose any
move. The incident in regard to the
sultan of Oman, as told in this morn
ing's dispatches, indicates that the war
cloud has not disappeared and that
Great Britain apprehends that a con-
flict with France may not be far dis

w. r. Hearst Receives the Democratic
Vote for Senator,


Sacramento. Cal, Feb. 24.-Two ballots
were taken for United States senator to-
day. On the first the republicans gave
G. l.. Johnson a complimentary. while the
democrats honored w. R. Hearst in the

Spanish Innings.

From the New York Post.
We certainly cannot blame the Spanish
newspapers for taking their innings.
What our press would have done If the
situation had been reversed may easily
be imagined. A liberating nation sudden
ly attacked by those whom it has liber-
ated would appeal to American humor, If
American depression. and modification
did not hold the field. But everybody will
hope that General Otis confidence that
the serious fighting is over may be justi-
fed. If Aguinaldo got his deluded fol-
lowers to fight by telling them lies about
the American character and intentions.
we have better ways of breaking his
power than by killing the natives. HUI
manity and justice and forbearance and
the observance of strict military disci-
pine will be lesson for the F'ilipinos
fully as valuable as that taught by rapid
fire guns. The Philippine commissioners
are due to arrive in Manila in a few
days, and will have splendid chance to
show what civilians and college profess
sors can do in the way of giving the ma
tives a 'lesson."

The Car and the President.

~ WASHINGTON dispatch states
n that there is now open war be-
tween the president and Speak
er Reed. The latter is credited with
having prevented the Nicaragua canal
bill from passing the house, and the
New York Journal charges that this
was done by him on the promise from
opponents of the bill that he would
be delivered 1872 votes in the next re-
publican national convention. 1t is
also we'll known that Reed is very much
opposed to the presidents expansion
policy. He has very sarcastically con-
demned that policy on several occa-
said that the administration forces will
oppose Reeds election as speaker of
the next house.
Reed is a hard man to handle, and
if he is defeated it will be war to the
knife. While he may not be able to
defeat Mckinley for the republican
presidential nomination he can make
the president vast amount of trouble,
and If the presidents expansion policy
becomes unpopular, as seems likely,
Reed may succeed in snatching the
nomination from the presidents hands.
Reed has served more than twenty
years in congress and is now in his
sxtieth year. He is essentially poor
man and if he wants to run for presi-
dent he should look around and find a
millionaire as rich as Hanna to back
him I'm

~ HERE is one French newspaper
which has acquired a whole
some respect for the United
States and seems inclined to surrender
Internationally to the republic of the

This is the adversary against which

ogre made one mouthful of her. And
now that he has tried his strength

it please him to seize all the European
colonies in American waters, who is

Dewey Wants the Oregon.

~OR several reasons the dispatch
r received by the navy depart
/ ment yesterday from Dewey is
inexplicable. He says that ''for politi-
cal reasons the Oregon should be sent
here at once" Such a dispatch would
only have been sent by Dewey in case
Of urgency, but there is no intimation
as to what has made the presence of
the Oregon so necessary. The great
battleship could not be needed to tight
the Filipinos, for they have no boats,
and the gunboats and monitors are am
ply sufficient for coast work. 1t can
not be believed that the Oregon is need
ed for the purpose Of impressing the
natives with an idea of the greatness of
the United States, for if the destruction
of the Spanish fleet by Dewey has not
Inspired them with respect nothing can
do so.
3 1t seems more likely that Dewey has
had trouble again with the German adj
miral and wants to be able to do the
German fleet up in proper style in case
the trouble comes to head. Or trouble
may be anticipated with Japan, which
country is covetous of the Philippines.
Perhaps, as intimated in the Washing
ton dispatch, Dewey foresees that the
threatened war in the East is near ap
preaching and he desires force ample
to protect American interests.
What makes DeWey's message more
inexplicabe is the fact that he must
be we'll aware that the Oregon was sent
him long ago and must reach Manila
harbor soon. 1t is not conceivable that
the navy department has failed to no.
tify him Of the whereabouts Of the Ore
gon. Many months ago Dewey asked
for additional ships on account of the
fear of trouble with Germany, and the
Oregon and Iowa. the best battleships
in the navy, We're started around Cape
Horn. The Oregon left Honolulu ten
days ago and will arrive at Manila in
two weeks. The Iowa has reached San
francisco and will soon follow the Ore
gon. Dewey must surely have been no
titled of the reinforcements on the way,
yet his dispatch would indicate that he
is not aware of the fact

The Boundary Dispute.

~ T meeting held at Toronto yes
terday Sir Charles Topper de-
! nounced as shameful the terms
offered by the United States in settle
,ment of the Alaskan boundary struggle
and spoke of the ingratitude of America
"after winning in struggle which but
for Great Britain's aid might have had
no such glorious end
1t has not been apparent that Great
Britain gave this country any material
assistance in the whipping of Spain. 1t
is the general impression that Dewey
and Schley did most of that. 1t is true
that friendly feeling was manifested
in Great Britain towards this country
during the war and the feeling was
reciprocated. There was much graft
fication that the long standing enmity
should disappear. There was even some
talk of an Anglo-Saxon alliance, but
the talk was mostly on the other side of
the water While it is the plain policy
of this country to be on good terms with
Great Britain and with all other coun-
tries, it is well known that Great Brit
ain always gets well paid for whatever
it does. If it sought an alliance with
this country it was not because of
Friendship towards this country, but be-
cause the alliance might prove beneficial
TO Great Britain.
Nevertheless it is a matter for regret
that the Alaskan boundary dispute has
not been settled. Whether the Ameri-
cans or the Canadians are in the wrong
the failure of the commission to agree
after eight months of labor is to be la
mented. Not only will there be contin-
Sual danger of mining disputes with seri-
GUS consequences in the Alaskan gold
fields, but there. are other reasons why
ssa amicable treaty would have been
very desirable at this time. There will

Lord BeresfOrd's Mission.

From the Indianapolis News.
II is evident that Beresfords investiga-
ton in China has impressed him with the
fact that the main struggle in China
must come between Russia and his own
country. In his visit to the United States
he hopes so to influence public opinion as
to make it possible to secure the aid of
the United States in the inevitable strus-
gle. 1t may be that when the struggle
comes we shall find that our bestHinter-
ests lie very close to those of Great Brit
ain, but there is no haste. Our trade in
China is growing, and when our COM
merce is actually threa tened it will be
time enough for us to interfere.

Time to Change,

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
There are deadlocks in the California,
Delaware and Utah legislatures over the
election of United States senator's. We
believe the judgment of the country is
that senatorial elections in that way are
not worth the expense. This is supposed
to be a government of the people: why
not make 1t so? Why not do it right any
way? Certain it is that anything more
demoralizing than the action of the Mon
tana legisla ture four weeks ago, or of
the Delaware, California and Utah legis-
latures to-day, could hardly be presented
to the people of the country. Surely it is
time for a radical change.

Mexico's Sign Language.
From Modern Mexico,


Mexico is a land of many tongues; but,
above the Indian dialects and Spanish
there is one universal language--the Ian
of all: the Mexican eye and hand are
eloquent members. 1t is capable of infin-
lite variations; it's shadings and sugges-
tions are beyond all translation. But
there are certain gestures that have a
fixed meaning, a Specification well under

from Guatemala to Texas.
A general upward movement of the
body, shoulders shrugged, eyebrows
raised lips pouted and palms outspread,
varies in meaning from Il don't know
and / don't care" to most respectful,
Really, sir, ! do not understand you"
The index finger moved rapidly from
right to left, generally before the face,
means mo more or simply mo" To
move the right hand palm outward from
the body toward another person means

fingers doubled. thumb and little finger
erect varies from "He drinks to Have

To move the open hand over the cheek

Lubbock on Silver,

From the London Financial News.
Sir John Lubbock will soon have to be
numbered among the epigrammatists.
Here is an extract from his paper on In
dian currency in the February Contem-
porary: at Ghe rupee) may be regarded
as an inconvertibe bank note printed on
silver Hardly less neat is his retort, on
later page, to the gold standard advo-
Gates: 1.-The difficulties of Indian finance
have arisen from the fall in the value of
silver Under these circumstances, the
policy of the Indian government should
surely be. as far as possible, to raise the
value of silver" This is the way to get
to the root of a complex question.
