NOT A MISTAKE.
The Declaration of Gen. shafter on the
Cuban Campaign.


San Francisco, Jan. 21.-Maj. Gen.
Shafter was given IL public reception
by the citizens Of San Francisco last
evening at the Palace Hotel. The af-
fair was under the auspices of a com
mittee of 100 citizens, headed by Mayor
Phalan.
Gen. Shafter made brief speech, in
which he reviewed the Santiago cam
paign. In conclusion he said:
1.-THE campaign has reen criticized,
but heretofore l have said but little
about it. Now that I am at home and
among friends, 1 have no hesitation in
saying that not a mistake nor a blum
der was made in that campaign. If you
want to hurt anybody, you have got
to get up near enough so they can hurt
you. (Cheers.) 1t was a fight between
men, and the victory went to the best
soldiers and best mar6smen. We kept
the enemy so busy they had no time
to attack our TANKS
He said that the part of the army
was done, and he had no fears that
the people could not successfully cope
with the new responsibilities thrust
upon them. The war was a great bless
ing, and the outlook was bright for
long continued peace.

ENGLISH ROYALTY IN AMERICA.
The Chances of a Visit From the
Prince Of Wales and the Duke of York
Gondon Correspondence of The Biz
mingham Post.)

Nondon Correspondence of The Bir-
mingham Post.)
The confirmation which has now
come from New York OF the statement
which was made in this column nearly
six weeks since. as to the expectation
entertained there of a possible visit
from the Prince of Wales, is specially
interesting just now, when the heir
apparent has SO far recovered from his
recent accident as to be able to resume
both his social and official duties.
What makes the rumor even the more
interesting is its present association
with the intended celebration next year
of the centenary Of Washington's
death, and the reported ejaculation of
President Mckinley; We should be
glad to have him with us. We could
entertain his royal highness at the
White House, as on the occasion of
his previous visit to America"
And it is of significance now once
more to recall that the central incident
of that tour of 1860 was the princes
visit to the tomb Of Washington, which
President Buchanan afterward de-
scribed to the queen as IAN historical
event which cannot fail to exert a
happy influence on the kindred people
majesty referred in her reply as IAN
interesting and touching scene, which
may be fifty taken IS the type of our
present feeling and, l trust, of our
future relations"
The doubt | have previously ex-
pressed as to the prince of Wales go
ing so far atield as the United States
next year, has, however to be repeat
ed; but the possibility remains that the
duke of York, who stands next in sue
cession to the throne, and who is I'M
derstood to have given a promise
TO go in 1899 to Canada, may cross the
frontier at the invitation of the United
states president. Those who desire to
establish an Anglo american under
standing-and the wi5est among them
I do not use the word "alliance''-earn-
estly hope that such a visit NAV be
! arranged, for in the existing condition
Of the feeling between the two coun-
tries it would be most popular on both
sides of the Atlantic

Holyoke, Jan. 2l,--The hearing in the
case of James Keough, eX-tax collec-
tor, on the charges OF embezzlement,
took place before Judge Chaplin this
morning. Judgment was deferred until
Tuesday, so as to give the bondsmen
an opportunity of going on the bond

securities are now i'll. Evidence was in
troduced by City Solicitor Green, show
ing the deficiency to be SIG. 9OS The

The launching of the Oceanic at Bel
fast the other day will mark the begin
ming of another era of transatlantic
liner building, such as followed the
building of the Servia in 1880. For sew
eral years after, hardly summer went
by without seeing a new racer started
from the ways to the order of one or
other of the great rival companies.
There has been a lull for a few years
now, since the Majestic and Teutonic
became the twin queens of the ocean.
But now that the White Star line
throws down a new challenge by build
ing the largest steamship since the days
of the Great Eastern, the Cunard,
American, North German Lloyd and the
rest, will be sure to accept it. and an
other record-smashing war will be the
outcome. 1t would not be surprising, in
the light of the marvellous progress
made in the speeding of ocean steamers
within the past decade, if before five
years have passed, the voyage from
New York to Queenstown would not be
more than four days steam.

IT is hard to see what is possibly
gained in the way of added prestige OF
the securing of fit men for high Office by
the election of United States senators
by the legislatures as at present
This Is another case where the fore.
fathers of the republic did not see
quite far enough ahead. The people
are as q rule, as body, better than
the men they elect to the state legisla-
lures. Thus by delegating to the
Legislators the power of selecting sem
ators they put away from themselves
into less worthy hands one of the most
important prerogatives of the citizen.
AS q matter of fact the old idea that
the senators represented the power
and organization:of the state corporate,
sovereign, and free, while the re-
personalities represented the people
direct, is all exploded. All the good
with none of the bad effects of the
system would be attained If the sena-
tors were elected directly by the PEG
pie, retaining their long term of SER
vice and their present plan of rotation
in Office.

BY taking away from the state legis-
1ators the power of electing United
States senators there would be less op-
portunity for the use of Doodle, but as
the number of electors would be ex-
tended, and all the people would come
to take q hand in the election of the
senators, the demagogue would have
q stronger hold than now. We would
rather have the demagogue than the
boodler. Education may do away with
the former, but nothing short of cap
ital punishment seems to have much
effect on the latter.
