The French Government

is in BIT Of quandarv in con-
nection with the corpse OF Prince
Rainllaiarivony, who died at
Algiers some two years agJ, and
who, prior to the conquest OF Mazda
gascar by the French, was the
Prime Minister OF that country.
When he died the French govern
ment. in compliance with his last
request, furnished his nephew with
the sum Of S., 900 to be used in
conveying the corpse back to
Madagascar for interment. The
nephew, who rejoices in the name
ot Prince Raiilifera, obtained the
money, and leaving his uncle's
remains in the mortuarV Of the
Saint Eugene Cemetery, started off
for Paris, where he quickly spent
the IS, 900 in riotous living, being
eventually shipped back to NADIA
gascar as a pauper. sanwhile,
the body Of his uncle stall remains
in the mortuary at Algiers, awaiting
its transfer to Madagascar, and as
the mortuary charges for eorpses
lett thus in storage are 81 a day,
and the old Prince has been lying
there tor over two years. there is
quite little bill to pay, all the
more difficult to settle because
none OF the various departments
oi the French government wished
to saddle themselves with the ex-
penes,

The Bitt Fight on NIiIts.

A Mckinley organ, which de-
fends Alger and can find nothing
to condemn in the beet scandal,
prints the following under a Wash
ington date;
"The court will find that Miles
was unwarranted in his charges.
1t will then rest with the President
to decide whether Miles shall be
disci 2lined Tor his SANDER as we'll
as his insubordination. Miles has
been allowed to bring reproach
upon the Government and cause
incalculable injury to a great bus
mess interest by baseless sLanders,
and number OF the Presidents
most influential advisers in busi-
ness circles are urging him TO stop
this scandalous business by order
ing Miles before a court martial as
soon as he is in possession Of the
report ofthe court. The President
is much perplexed over the situa
ton. for, while he believes from
the testimony that Miles has 'Dasely
slandered the Government, he hes
itates to make the General a
martyr"
Naturally the President would
be much perplexed over the sit
uation," but has not our Republi-
can contemporary given the wrong
reason for his perturbation2 Is
there not ground for the suspicion
that the necessity Of shifting the
burden Of the beef scandal to
Alger's shoulders is worrying the
President more than his fear that
he might make a martyr oil Gen
eral Miles by ordering him before
a court nartial9
There will be no court-martial
The court OF inquiry cannot con
denim General Miles. Every
charge he has made has been sub
stAntiated over and over again
He has done his duty in exposing
the iDcompetency OF the Com
missary Department and the ras
calitY OF the beef contractors
Even a partisan press, notoriousll
blind TO the Presidents blunders
cannot by suppression and misrep
resentation injure Miles and exal
Alger and Eagan.

Imperialism the Issue.

Senator "A. o. Bacon,in a speech
at the Fulton Club, in Atlanta,
fired the first gun in his campaign
for reelection. Among those pre-
sent were Gov. Canler and Senator
Clay the occasion being a dinner
to the Senators from Georgia.
Senator Bacon strongly opposed
imperialism, thus evidencing his
belief that the general Democratic
campaign will be on this line.
Senator Bacon declared that the
FiliPinos could only be subiu.
gated By the overthrow OF the tree
institutions upon which this gov
ernment rests. He said that il
there was such u revolution" in
the conquered country, there will
be still greater revolution in the
land OF the Victors.
Senator Bacon said that it would
take SIoo, ooo. 900 per year, in adj
dition to our regular expenses TO
support our colonial dominion.
He called attention to the tremen-
dous share Of Georgia in this ex-
pense. He declared that we were
carrying on war in the Philippines
under the protection OF the guns
OF the British Navy. The Senator
declared: "If we should enter upon
an European war, the Philippines
would be our weak point, like Cuba
was the weak point OF the Span
iards. We crushed Spain in Cuba
and in an European war the Philip
pines would be made the seat oi
war" He said much more to this
effect, and at the conclusion his
speech was cheered to the echo.

On I'm migration.

Mr.. Prescott +. Hall, ol Boston,
secretary Of the immigration Re.
striction League. appeared before
the Industrial Commission last
Saturday morning. and stated the
reasons on which the contentious
Of the league for immigration re-
striction are based. The league
was formed in 1891, when Mr.. Hall
became connected with it, and two
years later he was made its secre-
tary. The league framed the bill
introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Lodge and in the House by Mr..
Mccall, pr roviding an educational
test for all immigrants. The meas
ure was passed by Congress. vetoed
by Mr. Cleveland, and passed over
the veto by the House, 1t again
came up in the Fifty fifth Congress
and was passed by the Senate, but
ialLed 10 receive consideration in
the House by Io3 to roI. The
league is still working in the inter.
est Of this bill.
In reply to a question Mr.. Hall
said that the influence OF steam.
ship companies he thought pre-.
vented the passage of the Lodge
bill in the Fifty fourth Congress.
In his opinion the German oppo-
sition to this bill was largely man
factured, because only 1 per cent.
Of tine German immigration was
llliterate and would be kept out.
He said the league he represented
made no issue against the number
of immigrants who come here, but
were contending in favor OF re-
ceiving only the best.

"A Mystery Solved.

Major General VIM. R. Shafter
was the principal witness before
the army court Of inquiry into the
beef supply last Tuesday. He
positively stated that ha heard no
complaints while in Cuba, also
that he ate the canned beef him
self, and, although 1t was not APP
petizing, he did not think it on that
account unfit for food. Further
more he investigated the Refriger-
ated Beef and found that it was
perfectly satisfactory. Shafter
says he ate the beef himself; this
explains in itself the approximate
cause OF the Santiago Hero's sick
ness. We are glad to know that
after all il was not cowardice, but
the beef which kept the valiant
General away from the battle field
on that occasion.

More Troops for the Philippines.

More Troops for the Philippines.
An uncensored despatch from
Manila brings disquleting news.
Army officers say that it will re-
quire a long war and a hundred
thousand soldiers to reduce the
islanders to subjection.
1t is generally considered that
great re-enicrcements are ncces-
sary, there not being a sufficient
number OF American troops IN the
archipelago TO make conquest Of
the island of Luzon and hold the
ports occupied, and it is thought
that it would be cheaper in the long
run and have better effect upon
the natives to establish American
supremacy efectually and quickly
than to temporize with score Of
rebellions.
All the stories told by prisoners
and friendly natives agree that
majority Of the insurgents would
be glad to quit; but tina there are
enough professional revolutionists
left to infest the country With bands
Of hundreus Of men, and to demor-
alize business for years to come.
Some high Americans believe that
the government would wisely eX-
pend money in buying off Aguin-
aldo and his clique Of influential
Filipinos.
Foreigners in Manila think the
| Americans are too optimistic as
to the effects Of the proclamation.
They say that the weakness OF the
proclamation lies in the fact that
the natives have so long dealt with
the Spaniards that they are unable
to realize what its words mean, and
that the purport Of its promises is
anything but snare.
Meantime the volunteers, who
have done so much OF the hardest
fighting there, are disgusted with
the task in which they are en-
ploYed and want to return home.
eve did not enlist to fight mig
gers, they are saying. They argue
justly that in enlisting to serve "tc
the end OF the war" they undertook
only to remain in service till Spair

The great question is, shall the
trusts control the people. or will
the people control the trusts7 We
must overthrow and destroy them.
There can be no half way meas
ures. No compromise between
monopoly and the American peo-
pie. Liberty and trusts cannot
long exist together. One or the
other will soon be destroyed.

A Time 90 Keep Cool.

This is one Of the times, says the
New York IoHyNaI, that test the
self control and judgment OF a
nation. The first impulse upon
h ,aring Of the ambush, slaughter
and mutilatIon Of our sailors in
Samoa is one OF vengeance. It is
to visit a fearful ..retribution upon
the Samoans who committed the
deed and upon the Germans who
are said to have incited them to it.
But first impulses arc not always
the best. Ten years ago GA- .iy
was in our position. In De- Ger,
1888, a German force was am
bushed by the very same faction OF
Samoans that is now against us, le d
by that very Mataafa whom Ger
many is now supporting against
us. We then favored Mataafa and
he had an American military adj
wiser in hiss attack on the Germans.
Fifteen German marines were
killed in that engagement and
thirty seven wounded. Some oi
the bodies Of the slain were be.
headed. There was the same cry
for vengeance in Germany then
that there il now in America, but
nothing came of it. We refused
the German demand for the sur
render Of <lein, Mataafa's Ameri-
can adviser, and there was no war.
There are times to unleash
national passions and times to keep
them under control. When two
nations haye profound differences
that drive them inevitably into
conflict. it is we'll enough to give
rein to feeling AMI have the shing
over. That was the condition last
year between America and Spain.
The intolerable Cuban situation
had to be ended, and the shortest,
sharpest ending is the most merci-
full.
But there is no sl n compulsion
driving us 20 conflict with Ger
many. The Germans are among
our Oldest friends. They proved
thsir friendship in our most des
peTate need, when our national life
was at stake, and some OF our pres
ent sympathizers were hoping for
our destruction and trying 10 bring
il about. Ii ought to take more
than the indiscreton, or even the
criminalty, OF local official, in
toxicated by a sense OF the impor-
tance OF the events in which he is
a central figure, to bring us into
collision with such a nation as that.
America and Germany have
absolutely nothing to quarrel
about. There are a dozen ways
in which the Samoan trouble can
be settled consistently With the
honor OF both countries. AS a last
resort, even a division ofthe islands
would be better than a continuance
OF the present harassing and dam
gerous conditions.
Peace must be restored in Samoa
and it must not be broken in
Europe and America.

Too Dearnnd too Cheap,

News came last M MondaY OF the
capture of Santa Cruz, a.city in the
Philippines, by our forces under

just the Trouble.

Fllipinos toward their mountain
Businesses, sends 20 General Otis
the laconic message, "They would

Spaniards. With malaria and fever
for their allies they can afford to
retreat.

From The chicagO Free Pyesse.

~ bWS tFc NHtCN& y ~ etS 1 'e91es
The reports received from Samoa
state that Admiral Kautz, alter having
called a meeting OF the cOnsuls and
senior naval officers OF the three powers
on board of the Philadelphia on March
II, issued a proclamation. maintaining,
that the aforesaid representatives Of the
three powers Qhe United States, Ger
many and Great Brittany had agreed
that the Mataaia government is not in
accordance with the Berlin treaty,
therefore Illegal and that Mataafa and
his followers should go to their home s.
Since this statement Of Rear Admiral
Kautz was evidently untrue and calCu-
lated to place the German Consul
General Rose in an embarrassing posi-
tion, Mr.. Rose felt bound to issue
another proclamation, stating that he
still recognized Mataala as the legally
elected, King and would do so until hls
government should resolve TO change
this decision.
Mataaia's followers refused TO obey
Mr.. Kautz's orders. and our admiral
then bombarded Apia as well as other
open towns, and when the small German
warship Fake prepared to leave the
port OF Apia Mr.. Kautz preremptorilY
ordered the Fake 10 remain.
Mr.. Kautz has not only issued officially
untrue statements but has opened war
without cause, and he went as far as to
prevent the warship Of friendly nation
to act according to the commands of its
captain.
Mr.. Kautz acted as a liar and as
bully. He did all he could to involve
us into war with Germany, and the
American people want to know whether
or not he followed the Instructions OF
the President Of the United States.
If Mr.. Kautz simply obeyed the orders
OF Mckinley, then our President has
done all he could to plunge the United
States into fight with Germany, and if
this is the case we hope to see him
impeached bY the Congress. If Mr..
Kautz acted the Iiar and bully on his
own account, then he should be placed
before court martial.
We are a civilized nation and not a
pack OF irresponsible rowdies, repre-
sented by liars and bullies, and we
therefore demand that our people should
have the whole truth OF this miserable
affair.

How could Kautz in his proclamation
maintain that all three Governments had
given their consent to the ousting OF the
provisional government and declaring
Maietoa, the English tool who had not
been elected, to be Kingf Kautz has
evidently made himself guilty ol gross
untruth and coarse violation OF the
Berlin treaty, which required the consent
Of the representative Of all three
governments before recourse could De
had to force measures. Upon the false
assertion OF the consent OF all three
powers, and in conjunction with the
British, Kautz began his attack, and with
it the violation OF the treaty. which
through the preceding untrue Proclama'
tiOn had not been SmOothed but rather
aggravated.
In view of these facts President Nc
Kinley can doubly congratulate himself
because, before receiving later details.
he had expressed to the Berlin authoTi-
ties his regrets over the harsh measures
OF Kautz.
