There's a Difference.

~ VERY time you meet man
r whose place is within the Nc
Kinley circle, you will meet one
who is for Quay. The revealed inten-
ton Of the McKinleyites is to do every
thing in their power to smooth the way
into the senate for the man who could
not get there through the process of
scoring majority in the legislature of
his own state. The administration Or
gans, the newspapers, we mean, that
stand for all sorts of influences that are
potent with the president, are making
common cause for Quay. They seem
fairly to go out Of their way in the at
tempt to put in a good word for him.
Some of them actually weep on Quay's
shoulder and between sobs tell their
readers what a good man he is and
how he has been prosecuted.
Then, too, several politicians, who
usually speak by the administration
card, have gone out of their way to
make it appear that Quay must be seat
ed and that's all there is about it.
Senator Mcmillan is one of these. One
day last week. in a newspaper inter-
view, he said that "wnile the precedents
are against seating Quay" he is in
clined to the opinion that the thing will
be DONE
There is no doubt as to the prece-
dents; to seat Quay under Governor
Stones appointment would be to put
these presidents in fragrant contempt
The case of Corbett who was appointed
by the governor of Oregon, is the most
recent one in which the senate has
dealt with these presidents. A little
! more than year ago-it was in Feb
ruary, 1S9S-the senate, by a vote OF
fifty to ten, refused to seat Corbett A
that time Mr.. Mcmillan voted with the
fifty, so did his Michigan colleague
Mr.. Burrows, SO did Senator Penrose
who is Quay's colleague, and Mr.. Quay
himself was paired in such a way thai
| If he had voted he would have votet
| against Corbett.
In the case of Quay it appears to bs
| different. Not as concerns the facts o.
the law, but the Pennsylvania boss ant
a claimant from Oregon or Montana
are, with respect to politics, two very
different propositions E.

That comes as news from Ma
M Mia this morning is, in a
measure, conflict of testi-
mony. Some of the dispatches received
yesterday in New York are to the effect
that hostilities are suspended, while
other bulletins dated at New York as
sert that the report of suspended hos
tilties is not true. However, a Wash
ington dispatch says in so many words
that Aguinaldo has requested cessa-
ton in the fighting, and this statement
is reported to be based on a cable dis
patch received from General Otis.
This kind of news is not too good to
be true; it is so good that every citizen
of the United States will prayerfuly
hope that it is true, and the hope will
be everywhere entertained that the
American commission will find a way
whereby this Philippine fighting may
speedily be brought to an end. 1t would
be an gratifying coinci-
dence if word were to reach this coun-
try by next Monday that peace basis
has been agreed upon-that will be
Dewey's day, the first anniversary of
the glorious battle of Manila
We are to remember, however, that
there's many a slip. The part of this
mornings news that wears a hopeful
air comes from official sources in Wash
ington, although they have nothing
there to go by, as the real news part of
this mornings press dispatch indicates,
except the brief matter of-fact bulletin
from General Otis. Were the islanders,
however desperate their situation, to
pause before accepting terms from us,
that should not excite wonder. Bear
in mind the fact that there are many
millions of American citizens who in
sist that this affair in the Philippines
is not the American peoples war and
who credit the natives with good faith
in that they sincerely believe that in
fighting our forces they are fighting fo1
their freedom and for their homes.
But, however wide the diversity OF
opinion may be among this country's
citizens as to the merits of this Philip
pine ENHANCEMENT, there certainly are
not two minds among the people of thi.
country touching the question of {
speedy close of the warfare: that out
come is ardently hoped for. and the ex
preston of that hope will be universal

Was a Guide to Napoleon.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
A few days ago there died in Vienna
a certain eX-schoolmaster named L..
NJ. Kohn, at the age Of 112 years. He
was born in 1887 in Frauenkirchen,
near Wiesselburg, Hungary. In 1900,
owing to his perfect knowledge of all
the crooks and corners Of his native
place, he served as guide to Napoleon
and to his staff. Mr.. Kohn had only
been ill twice in the whole course of
his life, and the first time was after
he had reached the Tooth year mark.
His second illness, pneumonia, carried
him off.

The Worst Of All.

@ UT when it comes to arrant nom
- sense in the shape of talk in
high places, We get the climax
of that sort of thing in the remarks
which, if accounts are true, some of
the administration people have lately
been giving out. You would hardly be-
lieve it, but they do say-and some of
the Washington correspondents stick to
it-that in official circles there has ac-
tually been mention al least of the
proposition to punish for treason GER
tain persons who have permitted them
selves to be pretty free in their criti-
cism of the administra TONS Philippine
policy.
With all gravity, Secretary Long de-
MES the statement tn the cabinet has
formally discussed the propriety of
making examples of certain people
through the infliction of this kind of
punishment. The case rests this way
that there have been informal ex-
changes of opinion on the subject
among people who are close friends Of
the administration. The charge is
that great encouragement has been
given to Aguinaldo by the talk and con-
duct of the opponents of the presidents
policy"
A section of the constitution provides
that treason against the United States
shall consist on'v in levying war
against them or in adhering to their
enemies, giving them aid and comfort"
Under limitations, congress is vested
with the power to declare what the
punishment for treason shall be. Urea

Trouble in Trifles.

~ NE may be easily excused for
laughing, right in the presence
of the troubles of certain sort
that are on the administration mind.
Really. these are the one comical side
OF things that otherwise are sufficiently
serious. Of themselves they are tri-
fling enough, but diplomacy has to do
something, and it seems to have on
hand nothing more serious than "trip
perry with which to occupy itself. The
ludicrous feature of it all is the man
ner in which these funny incidents sue
coed one another, pling up right under
the presidents nose. to annoy him and
on OCCASION as the press dispatches re-
cite, to dismay him; just as if the ad-
ministration didn't have real troubles
enough of its own.
These things found exemplifica ton in
the bungling to which Captain Coghlan
and Admiral kautz are parties. With
Coghlan it was possibly a case of too
much wine-or case too much of wine
in the Raleighs festivities with Kautz
it manifestly was case of too much
u
| every time these fellows break out in
new place, the Germans get the brunt
of it. ..a
Coghlan undoubtedly told the truth
when he chartered about the close ap-
proach Dewey had to trouble with the
German admiral in Manila bay, but
under present conditions that is one of
the truths about which the administra-
ton doesn't wish to have any opinions
| aired just at this particular time. Cap
tain Coghlan came home prepared to
have the finest kind of time, after his
long absence. Poor fellow; he received
curt orders to go aboard and stay there,
and it is certain that for one while the
| navy department will keep him him
where he won't talk for publication.
German diplomacy, on the lookout in
Washington for something to Chew
the rag about-as they say outside the
| diplomatic circle-waited on all the cab
met nabobs in sight, to know how
! about Coghlan. The various heads of
| departments assured the German rep
| resentative that everything was all
| right, no offense intended, his majesty s
| most obedient, etc, etc. This German
representative wired it all to Berlin
| and Secretary Hay wired it all to An
drew D. White. and DR. White saw the
head of the department of state at Der
lin, and the two of them saw the Kali
SER and it was all right all around.
But before this incident was closed
what did Kautz's cousin do but let thu
newspapers print a letter from him r
which he talked f1ipnantly about max
ing and unmaking kings, running gov.
ernments, doing up the Germans ant
all that Again the whole ridiculously
solemn diplomatic process had to b,
gone through, with the end that hi
majesty's humble servant, the presi
dent, will certainly see to it that tn
offending admiral gets, at the yer.
least. ten days and fine, to stand com
mitted till paid, and that it's all RICH
and no offense intended, etc, etc.
The president won't do a thing t
these fellows if they keep on making
life a burden for him; undoubtedly the
make him tired. AS for Ambassado
White, he must be bleeding internally

freshing as chapter of Pickwick.

Imperialism Run Mad.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
An imperialist contemporary advances
the idea that an administration at Wash

the support of the speaker of the house
and advocates the election of the speaker
by the administration. Truly this is
pushing Imperialism to an extreme that
would not be tolerated by Great Britain.
Germany might regard such an idea of
