They Are After Otis.

u LII the talk running around in
reference to the probable re-
1 moval of General Otis is I'M
official. This talk took a sudden start.
The public was recently brought up
with round turn and compelled to
revise most of it's theories in regard to
the progress of the Philippine cam
paisn. This revision was because of
the announcement of severe fighting
almost at the gates of Manila-the
carefully edited official bulletins had
left the impression that, practically,
the enemy had been driven into the
mountains and rendered ineffective.
The first product of the unexpected
news of operations near Manila was
suspicion that after all, not much has
really been accomplished toward the
conquest of the fighting islanders.
That may be an unjust conclusion, but
the public is always impatient; official
dom let the report start last week, in
Washington, that Otis had been quite
too sanguine from the start" and, of
course, the convenient cry is that Otis
be put out
In time of war, in government like
ours, it is short work with a COM
handing officer if public opinion once
takes its start in unfriendly pursuit of
him. The record of our civil war is in
proof on that score. The manner in
which Meade and Hooker and Burnside
and Mcclellan moved into command
tells suggestive tale. In our recent
Spanish war, President Mckinley was
conspicuously unlucky in the selection
of favorites. Whether his Cuban expe-
rience is to be duplicated in the Philip
pines remains to be seen. True it is that
some of the administrations most de-
voted newspaper organs have taken up
the cudgel against Otis the suspicion
is that this is done in the hope that
Otis may thus be made the scapegoat
for the administration itself.
Before joining in the rising tide of
denunciation of Otis, fair-minded men
will first find out whether fault rests
with him or with the failure at Wash
ington to take proper measurements of
the force that would nominally be re-
quired for the subjugation of the Fill

Proper Care of Finger Nails.

soft white hands are always one of
the principal points of a refined appear
ance, and for that reason women or all
ages have most carefully attended to
their hands," writes Mrs Humphry, ad-
vising plain girls how to be pretty, in the
June Ladies Home Journal. 1.-THE care
of the hands cannot be said to be neg
lected nowadays, when so many persons
employ the manicure, who scrapes the
nails and makes them of a lovely pink,
pushes back the skin from the little white
half-moons at the base. cuts the nails In
a crescent which exactly follows the out
line of the half-moons and ends by wash
ing the hands in a preparation that makes
them both smooth and white, temporarily,
If not permanently. The hands look ex-
tremely well after the manicuress task has
been finished. although Erasmus Wilson
says the nails should never be scraped
nor cleaned with any instrument save the
nailbrush. The only other implement need
ed is the small ivory presser.'

II CCORDING to the latest reports,
Sheriff Dunn, of Wyoming, who
has been chasing the Union Pa
ciic train robbers, thinks they are
safely ensconced in their notorious
rendezvous, the Hole-in- the-Wall. He
does not believe the Dillon story of the
Identification of the suspects under ar
rest there as the Roberts brothers, be-
cause, he says, he has been on the trail
of the Roberts brothers and the other
robbers for weeks.
The Hole-in-the- Wall lies south of the
Montana state line, west of the Big
Horn mountains, east of the Yellow
stone park, and north of wall of
granite, from which it takes it's name.
The southern entrance to the Hole-in-
the-Wall is through a narrow defle,
which can be easily guarded by dozen
expert shots. From Montana it is en-
tered by a similar trail It is bounded
everywhere else by practically impas-
sible barriers. Indians and outcasts
have used the Hole-in-the-Wal as a
place of refuge for two generations.
1t was here that a portion of the Sioux
fed after the Custer massacre, and
here bands of robbers from time
to time have made their rendezvous,
certain of escape from further pursuit

who control the sugar interest on the
factory profits the Hawaiian planters
must in any event have the benefit of
coolie contract labor. The methods in
Hawaii have been described as "a re-
vised system of slavery with most of
the improvements in the old American
system of slavery carefully left out, and
with many new and vicious elements
vigorously introduced"
This country has a contract-labor
law which in many instances has been
wisely and effectively invoked. The
story credited in Washington Is that
the operators in Hawaii's sugar product
are preparing arguments and gather
ing statistics designed to show that
there must be reservation covering
Hawaii in the operation of this law.
The bland proposition will be brought
to the attention of congress that the
vast sugar interests simply cannot be
prosecuted in Hawaii unless they get
protection" in the shape Of license to
operate the contract lapof OF imported
coolies.
These operators, on the very best of
authority, have been enjoying profits of
at least fifty per cent. Annexation
opened up for them a market that will
always be duty free. Time will tell
whether congress proposes seriously to
entertain the monstrous proposition
which it will be asked to favor when
the details of Hawaiian administration
are arranged

Bad for Philadelphia.

From the Philadelphia Record.
General Leonard v, God says that the
death rate in Santiago is now less than
that in Philadelphia. Enforced sanitary
precaution has made the pest hole of
Cuba more secure refuge from dirt dis

the United States. This speaks volumes
fo- the work of scavengering and deodor-
ization done at Santiago; but-the reader

nicipal management nearer home.
