don Uncle Sans uniform for service

ates that there may be a want of conf
dence in Otis. Inasmuch as Mr.. Nc
Kinley has at all times expressed UNI
bounded confidence in that officer, this
would seem to be in the nature of a
rebuke to the president himself The
problem is too much for us. At the last
presidential election more than seven
millions of votes were counted for
Mr. Mckinley. The voters were all
good and honest men, because they so
proclaimed themselves at the time.
They are patriots, also, for they unhes-
itatingly assert it to be so, while
there is the strongly corroborative evil
dence that the 'copperheads and trail
tors" are all alleged to be in the dem
ocratic party. So, the fact being that
there are at least seven millions of
patriots in the country, the reason is
not apparent why there should be the
slightest difficulty in filing up the
ranks of the few regiments that the
president has seen fit to call for.

His Big Funeral.

~ HE two thousand people who at
tended the funeral of Adolph
Luetgert in Chicago last Sun
day must have strange notions of Sun
day outings. The large attendance was
the direct result of advertising-the
Chicago newspapers, with characteristic
Chicago enterprise, had made the
sausage makers death the leading topic
of the day. The grewsome story Of the
murder he was charged with having
committed is still tolerably fresh in
the memory of newspaper readers. The
case was chiefly remarkable in that the
means adopted to do away with the
body, to wipe it completely out of ex-
istence by potash, were in a high de-
gree novel and extraordinary
The jury in the first trial stood nine
for conviction and three for acquittal
On the second trial the jury returned
a nominal verdict of conviction and
for life. 1t was one of those inconsist-
ent acts in which juries often indulge
if Luetgert did kill his wife, the muir
der was deliberately planned and de-
liberately executed, and Luetgert
should have been hanged. But the evil
dence was purely circumstantial, and
by fixing his punishment at imprison-
ment for life the jury gave Luetgert
the benefit Of a lingering doubt
The case was about to have been
taken to the supreme court and the
lawyers on both sides regret that it
cannot now be passed upon by that
body, as the rulings OF Judge Gary.

complains of the slowness with which
volunteers are coming forward for SER
vice in the Philippines. 1t is stated
that at the city of Spokane there were
only six enlistments in three days,
while at San Francisco, out of a to al
of thirteen hundred and nine enlisted
men required for the 35th regiment,
only forty-fve had been obtained.
This is, indeed, surprising. We had
been led to suppose by the tune of GER
tain contemporaries, that the spirit of
patriotism was abroad to such an ex-
tent that there would be no difficulty
in securing men for ten regiments, or
ten times ten, as rapidly as the mus
tering officers could take down Their
names. We might go farther and say
that the protestations of patriotism,
pure, exalted, and self-sacrificing,
which have appeared daily in the col
umns of these contemporaries, had
even suggested the thought that the
small number of men required to COM
plete the conquest of the Philippines
might easily be obtained from the
editorial force Of enthusiastic admin
istration organs.
This, however, appears to have been
a mistake-one of those mscOnCep-
tiOns that sometimes arise from taking
the expressions of men too seriously
and too literally. We are somewhat
mortified at the error into which we
fell We ought to have remembered
that patriotism, like everything else,
presents itself in varieties. There is
the brand which says go on boys"
and that which eXclaims. come with
me-" There is the form which leads
a man to expose his life on behalf of
cause which he believes and pro-
claims to be just, and there is a form
in which the ambition of the possessor
is fully satisfied by the simple act of
calling someone else a traitor The
gulf is a wide one, but nevertheless it
serves to illustrate the elastic charac-
ter of some English words.
The Chronicle is not clear in giving
the reason for this unwillingness to

SIXTEEN PAGES.


~ HIRTY odd years ago, Kate
Chase was young woman
upon whom scores of other wo-
men in Washington society looked with
envious eye. Her social rank. even as
she was emerging from girlhood, made
her a factor of great account; she had
beauty, tact, good education. She pre-
sided over her fathers household: he,
Salmon p. Chase, was secretary of the
treasury in Lincoln's war cabinet. He
was one of the first men in the nation,
and his daughter came constantly into
public notice.
Later on, Kate Chase became the
wife of William Sprague, ex-governor
of Rhode Island, United States senator
and all that. The Spragues were i'm
mensely rich in those days. They had
possessed wealth through two or three
generations socially no family in
Rhode Island outranked them. But it
was all vain and fleeing show. What
followed was a record wholly to the dis
credit of most of those concerned.
Wealth, mansions, political promi-
nence, exalted social station-these all
awaited nothing. Indiscretion on the
part of the wife, so gossip said; angry
accusations that reached the public
from the lips of the husband: tattle in
high life; insinuating talk in the press
these things came to pass even when the
Spragues We're at the zenith of a bril-
liant career in public life. The woman
had friends, plenty of them, and de-
tenders; before the scandal had its run
clean daft, and that seemed, afterward.
to be true enough. With the rest came,
later on, the scattering of the Sprague
fortune.
Now and then within the past half
dozen years, newspaper paragraphs
have made occasional mention of Kate
Chase Sprague-usually in connection
with one effort or another on her part
to realize money out of this or that
remnant of the Chase property. Sal
mon P. Chase himself the famous sec
rotary of the treasury, died poor. Kate
Chase knew, after the vanishing of the
wealth she married, what it was to be
hard pressed for resources wherewith
to maintain a living in the plainesi
style.
The younger set in Washington knew
of her only as a social queen uncroWn.

If not entirely ont of affection for her
made some of the rough places smooth;
they so arranged matters that it was
possible for her TO spend what proved
to be the closing years of her life in the
enjoyment of rather more than common
comforts. Withal, remarkable career
has reached its melancholy end-the
news is that this brilliant daughter of
one of this country's most distinguished
sons is dead.

done in a manner so characteristic and
so weak as fully to merit all that has
been said in condemnation.
A president is justly held responsible
for every mistake of his administra-
ton that is not rectified at the earliest
possible moment after its discovery.
Personally, Mr.. Mckinley probably had
nothing to do with the beef contracts,
but he is certainly responsible for the
general policy of the administration.
The trouble has been that instead of
rectifying mistakes promptly, these
have been concealed and denied until
at length concealment was impossible.
Take, for example, the press censorship
at Manila. There was studied at
tempt to keep from the American peo-
pie knowledge that fairly belonged to
them and the imparting of which could
not possibly have helped the enemy In
his military movements.
In this instance, Mr.. Mckinley feared
the effect which the telling of the truth
might have on the public mind in this
country. So the people were RECALLED
with oft-told tales of Aguinaldo's
broken power and the prospective col
lapse of the rebellion. This was done,
no doubt, in the hope that our forces
would succeed in getting in the finish
ing blow when, as a matter of course,
in the joy of victory the mistakes would
be forgiven and forgotten.
No, the conduct Of Mr.. McKinley's
administration is a matter that con-
Germs the whole American people. 1t is
Just and proper subject fer constant
review. and neither Dewey's victory
nor Alger's resignation will silence dis
cussion or seriously limit it.

~ NE of the political curiosities
~ of the season is presidential
boom for Vice President Ho-
bart. The boom's local habitat, of
course, is New Jersey. Mr.. Ho-
bart's fellow citizens point with pride
to the signal services he has rendered
the administration-it was he who
Jared Alger loose from the cabinet, it
is he who sits up nights with McKin-
ley planning the way the administra-
ton should go.
Mr.. Hobart undeniably is more of
factor in the nations affairs than any
of his predecessors in the vice pres-
dency have been in a generation The
vice presidency commonly is a short
cut to political oblivion. What has be-
come of that genial nonentity, Adlai Il.
Stevenson? Who knows, or who cares?
The very name is suggestive of a voice
from the tombs. Levi p. Morton did
manage to keep himself before the pub
lie after he quit being the tail to the
Harrison kite, but Morton has an ac-
tive mind and a large barrel-both
which qualifications by the way, are
possessed by Mr.. Hobart, who, in addi-
ton, is said to enjoy in marked de-
gree the faculty for doing and saying
the right thing at the right time. His
friends go as far as to say that Mr..
McKinleys best thought have been fur
nished by Mr.. Hobart-that Hobart
really is the brains behind the throne.
OF course, Mr.. Hobarts presidential
boom will make no more noise or stir
in the world than a firecracker. Even
if Mckinley were out of the way and
the coast clear, the republican party
would hardly dare nominate a trust
lawyer. and a New Jersey trust lawyer
at that. Yet Hobart is an ADLER man
than Mckinley every way. Undoubted-
ly the president would have profited
greatly if he had consulted the vice
president and followed his advice to
greater degree than he has.

They're After Him.

@ITY the sorrows of unfortunate
~ Toral. He is the Spauiard who
was in command when Santiago
fell. The dons in power ut Madrid
are going to see if they can punish
him for what he did he is to undergo
a court-martial process, and some of
the correspondents who gather up Eu-
ropes news for the public this side the
Atlantic predict that General Toral
will be in luck if he doesn't get a gocd
deal the worst of it. Admiral Cervera
endured a trial, conducted under mill
tary forms, and he escaped ccndemra-
ton. but they are saying that il will
not be so smooth for Toral.
Those who have given intelligent
testimony in regard to the campaign
ing in front of Santiago, in the sum-
mer of last year, agree in saying that
Toral could have held out longer in
his defense of the city. A conclusion
on his part to keep up the fight SIM
ply meant so many more dead Span
iards. 1t was, for him, an utterly
hopeless fight-there was nothing

der the circumstances, his conduct was
humane; it is everywhere approved,
except in Spain.
Toral was left in an utterly hopeless
plight when Cervera sailed out of the
harbor at Santiago. In truth, Ger
vera's course probably saved Shafter
and his men. But whether it be au-
thentic history or not, the accepted be-
lief is that in this matter Cervera was
without option and without recourse
it was told a year ago and never de-
MED that Ceryera was under peremp-
tory orders to sail and that these Or
ders had their original author in Blan-

Why Not?

r. DEMONSTRATION organs affect
surprise and indignation be-
! cause the opposition press. not
satisfied even since Ayers resignation
now permits itself to criticise the presi-
dents course.
Why should the resignation Of A1ger
put a stop to discussion? Surely a
president who would cling to a man
like Alger a full year after his incompe-
tency had been so painfully manifested
must, himself, be open to some cr.ti-
cism. While Alger was in office he
stood as a sort of buffer to the presi-
dent, and Mr.. McKinley's blowers
never hesitated to use him as such.
The demand for Ayers resignation
was made for the double reason that
he was believed to be unfit and because
it was the only thing that could be
hoped for in the way of immediate
relief.
There was no point in asking Mr..
Mckinley to resign; everybody knew
that he wouldn't do it, In all his public
career he has never been known to
