proposition may be true or false. but the
fact remains that the executive Depart
ment of our national government Is CON
Quoted by proxy. and that the president
has delegated his powers. especially WITH
reference to political appointments, to 4
few well known men. Senator Plat Is
as omnipotent in New York az Senator
Hanna Is in Ohio. or Senator Quay Ia
Pennsylvania, or as Secretary Alger is In
the navy department. There Is no
thought of initiative In the White house
In any direction. The civil service order
is like all the other orders that have
been issued. 1t represents the political
ownership of the American presidency.
Those who make complaints about this
last order have really less right than
any other class to complain. They have
stood sponsor for Mckinley, and they
have helped to foist upon the country the
domination in the national government of
the most corrupt element within the
party which since the downfall of Cred
it Mobilierism had been kept in compar-
ative control. The political subcon-
tractors are running the administrative
end Of the national government, and we
are reaping only the natural results of

as much of impotent jealousy as has ever
been displayed by the Tories.
The latest utterance of the Canadian
premier shows the spirit which prevails
everywhere in Canada. There runs
through it a tone of positive dislike. and
It's expressions are the expressions of one
who Is speaking of known enemy. For
instance, Laurier says:
81 think it is clear that parliament act
ed with questionable wisdom. when, In
1897, 1t granted a charter to the British
Yukon Railway company, because the
consequence Is that We have contributed
to the building up of Skaguay, an Ameri-
can city, between which and Seattle there
is great and increasing trade Ameri-
can interests have been established there
and are increasing all the time, and we
have met, and are constantly meeting,
and viii constantly meet, until this
question Is determined. the antagonfsm OF
powerful American interests to our con-
tention for the settlement of the boun-

This is not the language of statesman

which will enable him to even up the
existing inequality.
Canadians started in the business of
government quite as early as we did.
They have had the fostering care of pa
ternal government to help them along.
Their government has offered Inducements
to foreigners to come and settle among
them, surprising anything which these
states could offer. Yet, without specific
indueement of any kind, Canadians are
drifting by the Thousand year after year
across the boundary line, and making
their homes among us. There is no anti
Canadian sentiment here, none whatever.
There never has been, But just what
effect the continued bitter manifestations
Of anti-Amerfcan sentiment, which has
shown itself in a variety of ways since
the sealing difficulties, will have on the
public feeling Of this country if it is per-
sisted in there can be but little doubt.
1t looks now as If there had been alto
gether too much paltering with this ques-
ton of the Alaskan boundary line, and as
if the time had come for our govern
ment to put an end to the whole affair
by withdrawing from the commission.

GOVERNMENT BY PROXY.

The recent civil service order of the
minor offices from those which are filed
under the civil service regulations, has
aroused a degree of bitter hostility to-
ward the president personally that is
quite out of proportion to the occasion.
That hostility is shown among class Of
voters who stand for all government
policies which will tend to put an end to
the spoils theory of politics. Most Of
such voters usually act with the Repub-
lican party, and have entertained a good
deal of personal regard for the presi-
dent, as an official who was personally a
supporter of their views of public re-
forms.
There is very little for this class Of vot-
ers to complain Of. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er their complaints will receive any con-
sideration whatever from any influence
which is of any weight in the present ma
tional administration. All the vapid at
tempts of the small-fry newspaper cor
respondents to explain this civil service
order as intended really to promote civil
service reform have been effectively dis
posed of by the accepted political fact
that the offices just released from the
civil service requirements were one of the
biggest factors in bringing about the re-
cent Hanna victory in Ohio
President Mckinley is the mere COM
PLEASANT tool of a number of professional
politicians of great ability ia their par
ticular line. No one has thought of him

This complaisance of his lies at the bot
tom of all the embalmed beef scandals
No one in national politics has regarded
him during that period as having any
personal force whatever 1t may or may
not be true that the nomination was be-
slowed on him only because the cabal of
which Hanna is the head had, after ma
ture elaboration, chosen him as the most
servfceable of the men whose names were
being mentioned for the Republican nom
nation in 1896. and after they had salts
fed themselves that he would fulfil their
chief purposes. That generally accepted

ARGUING FOR M1LITARIsM.

If the correspondent of the London
to the grounds stated by the German rep
resentative for opposition to the adop-
ton of the principle of arbitration by the
peace conference, the distinguished DR..
Zorn occupies an altogether unique posi-
ton. He is made to declare that the Ger
man nation is opposed to arbitration on
principle, because it is derogatory to the
monareh's sovereignty and the nations
independence; and he was opposed to it on
the score Of expediency because the rem
dering Of Ubiquitous decisions might oper-
ate to bring the principle of arbitration
into disrepute.
This statement covers the entire
ground. 1t shows chiefly the devotion of
the German representative to the idea of
arbitration as & means of adjusting in
ternational difficulties. Lest that princi-
pie should be impugned in the slightest
measure DR.. Zorn would. contest every
inch of the ground leading to its adop
ton.
It is thus shown that Germany unites
virtually with the other nations in sup
port of the principle of arbitration. There
can, Of course, be no impugnment of a
monarch's sovereignty or of a nations in
dependence when the monarch and the
nation unite in adopting principle which
both are bound to protect against any
misuse.
Whatever the instructions of the Ger
man representatives may be, it is quite
plain from this method of argument that
no nation is willing to go on record in
the present crisis as unqualifedly oppos-
ing the principle of arbitration. The civ
ifzed world unites In the demand for it's
adoption at this time. Whatever misgiv-
ing there may be as to its success in
practical operation will soon give way be-
fore its benefcent effect in adjusting
difficulties which without its Intervention
would involve the only effective assault
which can be made on a nations indie
pendence or a monarch's sovereignty. OPP
position such as that based on the argu-
ment imputed to Dr. Zorn is In itself an
argument in favor of adopting some sub
stitute for a principle which can be sus-
tanned only by such absurd clap-trap.

ROYALTY AND ANARCHIsM.

The people of France have given an eff
fective response to the anarchist Roche
fort and his knot of would-be royalist
revolutionists. The French republic too.
has made it plain to these disturbers that
it has both the power and the will to
sustain itself by force If need be.
1t Is the common people that in France,
as elsewhere, come in the last event to
the defense of republican institutions. It
has not been found necessary to go out
side of the streets of Paris to find the
most complete expression of the popular
faith in representative Institutions The
headless mob of royalism has shown the
worst it is capable of doing. The Bour-

own hands.
If the French authorities will now
hasten to undo the brutal Dreyfus wrong,
militarism and royaIism will have disap-
peared from public view together, France
will resume the place which she has al
most forfeited in the esteem of all lovers
Of liberty and order, and the demand
which the conscience of mankind Is now
making on the worlds rulers through the
peace conference will before long be re-
spected. That demand is for the general
substitution Of the agencies of peace in
the place Of those of force and ruffianism
which the dying royalists of Paris have
just evoked with such paltry results.
The paltriness of these results Is en-
phasized. rather than otherwise, by the
events leading up to the resignation of
M. Dupuy and his colleagues. The So
cialists in the chamber are welcome to
all the advantage they gain by the resig-
nation. 1t will simply add additional
proof Of the hold which the republic has
on the affections of the masses. The re-
firing cabinet will be followed by another
we hope equally courageous, and the
cause Of republicanism will go on
strengthened rather than endangered by
the vicious and unprincipled attacks of
its enemies l=fi'.'ro "'>-

DIED AT HIS POST.
Sad Feature of the Demise of the
MOnadnOck's CAPTAIN.

MANILA, June II, p. m-The funeral
of Capt Henry Nichols, the commander
OF the United States double turreted
Monadnock, who died from sunstroke on
Saturday, took place at Cavite yesterday,
with appropriate naval ceremonies The
offcers Of the fleet were present and the
flags on all the vessels were half-masted.
The sudden death of Capt. Nichols was
particularly sad because 1t occurred just
at the moment when the result for which
he had hoped and worked for six months
was about to be realized, namely, the
capture OF Paranque and its occupation
by the American forces. The Monadnock
has been lying off Paranque for two
months past. under fire from the rebels
almost daily. The heat there has been
intense. and the officers and men of the
Monadneck suffered greatly. The COM
mander-in-chief offered to retire the Mo-
nadnock from this trying duty and re-
place her by another ship, but Capt
Nichols preferred to remain declaring
that he did not want to leave his post
until Paranque fell and the coast from
there to Cavite was cleared of the rebels
The heat on Saturday was most severe
and the monitor was engaged all day In
Smelling the trenches at Paranaque, and
the rebels fleeing south through Los
Pinas, and also watching the American
troops closing in upon the town.
Capt. Nichols was overcome by the
heat at noon, and retired to his cabin,
where he received frequent reports of
the operations and gave directions for
several hours. He became much worse
at 8 o'clock, lost consciousness and ex-
pired at in the afternoon Several
hours before his death he expressed graf
ification at the way events were pro-
crossing, remarking to an officer:
eve have got the rebels there at last"

VENGEANCE VS.. LAW.

The warmest friends Of the South will
look In vain for an intelligent explana-
ton of the situation which now exists IN
and around Manchester, KY. Behind the
vendetta which prevails there, as behind
all such displays In the past. there Is
first and above all things the disposition
to place private vengeance before the
law. The story Of the vendetta IN the
South and Southwest Is written in blood.
Wherever 1t has prevailed the law has
been either ignored or defed. In the
present case the press dispatches reveal
the remarkable circumstance that seri-
Gus thought Is entertained by public au-
thortty of allowing the partisans to kill
each other without interference by the
law, as likely to produce more speedy
ending Of the bloodshed.
There is no race trouble involved here,
There is no other principle of conduct
save private vengeance. There, as else
where throughout the South for a gen
GRAFTON, the bloody hand Of private ven
geance has been raised and the power
Of public authority held in contempt.
What have the statesmen and editors Of
the South to say to this? What mitigating
circumstance is there2 Why are the civil
authorities of the localities unable to cope
with the trouble? How does it come that
the last fatal shot in the feud was fired
from the home of the local sheriff? Must
the military forces Of the state always
be called into requisition to meet cases
of this nature? And when they are call
ed. Is 1t to be expected that they shall
always remain, as they are in this case,
Incapable of protecting either society or
the Individual?
The South can never prosper on these
lines. With such social conditions exist
ing. it is folly to expect that law-abid-
Ing citizens, anxious to avail themselves
of the advantages of a residence in the
South. will leave the blessings Of public
and private peace behind them to go into
any Southern community, however
favored. There is little or no use in talk
ing about the New South when exhibi-
tons of bloodthirst of this nature are pos
sible The South will remain stagnant
Southern character will continue to be
assaied. Material injury and moral dis
grace are the sure forfeits which the en-
tire South must pay for such happenings
If the authorities of Kentucky have any
understanding of their duty toward their
state and section, they, too, will bring this
feud to a prompt settlement by invoking
and enforcing the full penalties of the
law against every man, woman and child
engaged in this bloody warfare. The So
cial usages of the mountains of Corsica
should have no abiding place on American
soil The fate of the Malta in New Or
leans some years ago should act as at
once warning and an inspiration to the
authorities Of Kentucky. Many years
have passed since the elimination of the
Mccoy feud of old. The public authori-
ties of Kentucky have it now to
determine whether or not the South is
to be regarded as having stood still since
those bloody days.

of DR.. Boyd, clearly indicating their SYM

is at an end" began DR.. Boyd. AZ pre-
dict that we will hear a great deal more
of this matter before We are through.
My opinion is that the controversy has
scarcely begun. However, there are other
things besides heresy charges engaging
our attention. If we are to try Dr. Nc
Giffert we should also take up the cases
of prominent men who do not hesitate
to sit in their study and. with their pens
besmirch the orthodoxy of their peers.
