troops were victorious in every battle,
but their inadequate number compelled
them to surrender many most import
ant positions, after they had been won
by sacrifice; and thus the fruits of the
victory were practically handed over to
the enemy"
That is the historical part of it
summed up. AS for the future, in
equally terse talk the Times says:
What the president needs is a secre-
tary of war who will act in harmony
with General Miles, the one commander
in the West Indies who never made a
mistake, never sacrificed his troops and
always had the best possible provision
for their health and comfort. The
country has no confidence in the war
department. and little confidence in the
navy department; and the center of
disturbance in both is with miserable,
mean coteries, whose intrigues against
and defamation of their betters have
been tolerated by the president"

The Gold Standard for India.

4 Yesterdays dispatches brought
" the intelligence that the parlia-
| ! mentary committee which for
| some months has been struggling with
the East Indian monetary situation, has
reported in favor Of a gold standard for
| that country. In view of the very strong
| opposition to such course in London
financial circles, We confess to a meas
ure of surprise at the nature of the
report. 1t is we'll known that the ablest
bankers and business men, as we'll as
the leading monetary experts of Eng
land, presented the strongest and most
serious objections to any attempt to
force the gold standard upon India. Sir
Robert Giffin, who is regarded as the
| ablest English champion of that stand
ard, took the position without quaIifiea-
ton that a gold standard for India was
| impossible. He based his opinion upon
the double ground that gold was I'M
suitable for the business of India, and
that the necessary amount could not
be spared without creating a monetary
crash in England. Sir William Fowler,
another eminent advocate of the gold
standard, took the same view, which
was shared quite generally by the lead
ing bankers of London.
The Indian government was in favor
of going to the gold standard and had
so expressed itself in reply to the pro-
posals' of the Wolcott commission.
When the parliamentary commission
was appointed, its personnel was the
cause of much dissatisfaction. 1t was
composed largely of members of the In
dian government, while the non-official
members, who were not bimetallisis,
were not regarded as being in any sense
strong and representative men. 1t was
believed that they would. to some ex-
tent, be under the influence of the gov

This Years Tests.

~ NOUGH has already been said
Z, and done and heard to make it
clear that more than usual in
terest will be taken in the state cleo
tons that are to be held this year;
two or three of them, at least,
will attract marked attention.
Kentucky, Ohio, Maryland and Iowa
are the states that choose governors and
state officers this year; Massachusetts,
and Mississippi elect governors and GER
tain minor officers. Nebraska, Penn
sylvania, New York and Virginia elect
certain state officers, but not governors.
One can make reasonably good guess
as to how some of these states will go.
They must be stone-blnd partisans,
however, who put Kentucky in this
years republican column, as a few of
the administration organs do.
That is partisanship gone daft Ken
lucky is as certain to elect its demo-
cratic governor as if the vote were al
ready polled and counted 1t is true
that Bryan lost Kentucky by a narrow
margin in 1896. 1t is true also that
Maryland went republican that year.
The conditions that operated in these
two states are remembered. They were
unusual; indeed, they We're remarkable
These conditions have absolutely Gisap-
peared, and every sane man knows that
both states have returned to their no.
litical traditions. On the other har d,
there is no warrant for the bold claim
set up by the republicans in ref arence
to Nebraska. That state, which gave
Bryan a good majority in 1896, has
wandered away from republicanism in
recent years, and, among repu olicans
whose judgment is considered good, Ne
braska Is rated as very close quarters
this year and an uncertain state with
reference to its pending election of
minor officers.
The presumption is, Of course, that
Hanna will carry Ohio He has the
whole force of the administration oper-
ating in that state. However, accord
ing to the latest talk, the democrats
propose to give Hanna hard fight,
and the rupture in that states repub-
lican ranks leads democrats of an ar
dent temperament to believe that Mr.
Hanna can be whipped on his own
ground this year.

They Admit 1t Now.

II S things look now, the Intelligent
ones among the republican Or
gans came to the parting of the
ways just about the Fourth of July.
They concluded apparently about that
time, to abandon the defenseless beaten
track. respecting the Philippine cam
paign, and strike out bravely along a
new line.
What these newspapers are saying
now is we'll illustrated by the comment
of the Philadelphia Press, whose editor
is in the Mckinley cabinet The Press
says that "the call for ten thousand
volunteers to serve in the Philip n =
islands might, perhaps, have been
made much earlier with advantage to
the country. General Otis seems not
to have fully grasped. until recently,
the situation in the Philippines"
Confession is good for the soul; per-
haps it will likewise be found good for
the soldiers. The organs are falling in :
since the Fourth the changed tune If
many of them is very marked. Some
of them plead the lame excuse that
all the fault lies with congress because
1t did not vote the army the president
wanted.
That statement won't live long it is
met everywhere with the rejoinder,
first, that the congress was republican
in both houses, and. secondly, that
there hasn't been a moment since the
war began when it was not in the presi-
dents power to send to the islands a
good many more troops that he pro-
poses even now to send.
We have quoted an administration
organ printed in Philadelphia. Here is
the whole case, summed up by another
Philadelphia newspaper-one that Is in
dependent in politics. and which has
steadfastly supported the policy of
militarism, a newspaper that always
speaks right out, having for its famous
editor Colonel Alex Mcclure who, in his
day and for quite long time, figured in
Montana's newspaper circle.

TUESDAY, JULY II, 1899.
TWELVE PAGES,


q ONE of the newspapers are hav-
~ ing a heated term over what
manifestly is misprint or a
mis-spoken word. The trouble was
started by General Charles King who,
an invalid, recently returned from SER
vice in the Philippines. In an inter-
view that has been pretty widely quot
ed, General King spoke highly of the
Filipino, and the interview made him
say that nineteen of the natives
can read and write"
That sounded like a whopper, of
course. In several newspaper offices
the historians rushed to the histories
and the statisticians to their statistics.
They called General Kings attention to
the fact that, according to the latest re-
turns in regard to education in Spain.
large proportion of the inhabitants is
dlliterate. In 1860 20 per cent of the
population could read and write; 46
per cent could read only, and 1913 per
cent could neither read nor write; in
1883, out of a population of II, 552 346
accounted for, 11,945,S71, or 6S.1 per
cent, could neither read nor write.
Then these editors pulled on General
King the statistics for the United
States. These show, in general, that in
our own country, according to the CEN
sus figures of 1890, the illiterates were
then Is per cent of the population, and
we boast of the enlightenment of Amer
lean citizenship. Yet General King $
figures would give to the Filipinos a
higher average of education per capita,
than you find in the United States
OF course, General King was wrong
his remark evidently is a slip of the
tongue or of the pen. This population
includes ten or eleven millions of be-
3ngs. They are chiefly Malays; many
of them are we'll below the average of
our Indians in respect to intelligence
1t may be that General King intend
ed to say that nine tenths of one per
cent of these islanders can read and
write. That would be refining the frac-
ton especially respecting a people
whose statistics are wholly lacking; but
3n any event this fraction marks the
percentage of those among the Fill
pinos who can read and write quite up
to the fact in the case.

| eminent In short, the belief was wide
spread that the committee had been
| packed in favor of the view entertained
| by the Indian government. Still, it was
not thought that even a majority thus
constituted would go the full length of
advising gold standard for India, and
a rather, weak colorless report was
confidently looked for.
1t is well known to those familiar
with the East Indian monetary situa-
ton, that the suspension of silver coin
age in that country in 1898 was the
worst blow that it's industries had ever
received. For twenty years the pros
perity of the country had been marvel
GUS Both its export trade and it's man
ufactures had grown in a manner that
scarcely finds parallel anywhere. The
fall in the gold value of the rupee oper-
ated as direct stimulant to exports
and manufactures, while discouraging
imports. AS the rupees declined in gold
value, it required more of them to equal
given amount in pounds sterling, and
consequently it took more rupees to buy
a certain quantity of goods in England
or any other d-standard country.
Therefore the East Indians, so far as
possible, ceased buying in Europe and
went to manufacturing for themselves.
Some idea of the enormous strides made
in this line may be gathered from the
fact that between 1873 and 1893, the
cotton spindles of the country increased
from about 100000 to something like
100000 1t will be understood, of
course, that the so-called fall or de-
probation of the silver rupee, is merely
fall as compared with gold. There
has been no decline in its real value. 1t
will buy as much of the products of
India to-day as it would when it stood
at par with gold In other words, gold
has risen, while the rupee has stood
still, or nearly so.
Since the closing of the mint in 1893,
greatly depressed and there has been
a very general demand for the resump-
ton of silver coinage. This has been
opposed by the government and others
having remttances to make to Eng
land, their desire being to keep up the
gold value of the rupee by limiting its
coinage regardless of the effect upon
the general business of the country.
The dispatch relating to this action is
very meager and we shall await with
interest fuller report which may con-
tain the reasoning upon which the ma
jority of the committee has reached
it's conclusions. But We know in adj
vance that they have considered the
question, not with reference to the well
fare of the country, but solely with an
eye to the necessities of those who have
gold payments to make In England,
and only a fixed income in rupees with
which to get the gold. Enough to add,
at this time, is that it is one thing for
committee to report in favor of fas-
tening the gold standard upon 300,-
600 900 of people who don't want it, but
quite a different matter to carry out
the scheme
