Primitive Cnmpaigning.

Up in New Hampshire the good old primitive
customs have not been wholly shelved yet Two
gentlemen residing in the First Congressional dis
trict make public announcement OF their desire
10 succeed Mr.. "Cy'' Sulloway in the House.
Gen. Stephen A. Gale tells the voters that he is
mot politician, a millionaire, nor a profes-
sional man" But he points with modest pride
to the fact that he has run successful manu-
facturing business for thirty-fve years, has been
a State Senator, and s now an executive coun.
cilor. Col. J. Alonzo Greene mentions that in
1866, being then less than twenty years Of age.
he received an honorable discharge from the
Army, and that he has been a steadfast Repub-
lican ever since. ''If you are not pledged" he
writes, and can give me the support ! now most
respectfully solicit shall be extremely pleased.

Senator Platt yesterday introduced a Mr..
Lemuei Eli Quigg to the President, proba-
and unusual name. Nobody in Washington
ever heard of the gentleman before, and,
of course, he is, therefore. entitled to the
benefit of the doubt. But if he wants to
be popular in this community, he viii add
an IS to his patronym, so that it viii

tons of the Attorney Generals name are

applications from many foreign and do
mestic poets who would like to hear of
new ones. None now in stock would be

Parnmount Duty.
From the Philadelphia Record

lFrom Inc PhiIadeiphIa Keeord.]
As long there shall be two or more ways
of doing anything there will be two or more
persons who will disagree as to the method OF
doing it. No war was ever fought to the satis-
faction of either party to it But responsibility
must be placed somewhere. The responsibility for
the conduct OF the in the Philippines must
rest with the Commander-n-Chief; and whilst
every man in the Republic has a right 10 crti-
else what tie Commander-in Chief may do, an
instructive patriotism requires that the effort to
suppress rebellion and yindicate the national
honor should not be bafied by giving direct or
indirect aid to the enemy. The first duty of
every citizen is 10 his country

Make Her n Gibraltar.


The Navy Department Is doing commendable
work in preparing estimates to be submitted to
Congress with a view to establishing a perna-
nent and impregnable naval station at san Juan,
Porto Rico. Not only IS San Juan a strong navaI
vantage point but il is also the strategic key to
the Caribbean and the natural outpost for the
defence OF the West Indies and tie North AmeIi-
can continent. Porto Rico will do for us on the
Atlantic side what Hawaii does on the Pacific.
II viii furnish base for the defence Of the whole
coast, and il the Nicaragua Canal is built il viii
control the approach thereto in time Of war The
Spanish war demonstrated anew the old axiom
that warships are no match for shore defenees.
The batteries on the heights al San Juan can be
made ss impregnable as Gibraltar, and under their
shadow can be established a complete nlval base
with drydocks arsenals powder factories, and
coaling supplies absolutely secure from attack
With a thoroughly equipped station 0; this Lind
in Porto Rico we would not need to fear the at
tack of any hostile European feet in the West In
dies. Congress should lose no time in dealing
with this project as literally as its importance
demands

1t may be because the official people in
London are too busy with their little South
African imbroglio to pay attention to mat
ters on this side of the Atlantic. but, in
any case, they certainly do deny the ex-
istence of the modus vivendi alleged to have
been arranged on the Alaskan boundary
question. Let US hope they are right If
what we have heard CT that connubiation
be true. it would be much better to leave
the delimitation of our frontier to the
brave Americans who are there with pick,
pan, and shovel, and, not unusually, with
the harmless, necessary gun.

There is some effort to tear up Washington
with the report that the new Secretary of War
is to take the place Of Vice President Hobart on
the next Republican national ticket Mr.. Root
may turn out 10 be the right man in the right
place" notwithstanding the fact that his appoint
ment to the War Office was a distinctly political
one, made at the dictation of controlling party
interests in New York; but he has to accomplish
great deal yet TO entitle himself to promo
tion. Anyhow, it would be wise TO restrain Mr.

Once Otis. and that interfering and alto
gether obnoxious person, DENLY, are out of
the way. and it is officially announced that
General Miles, in whom the country re-
poses complete trust, is to be placed in su-
preme command, the Administration will
find that it has regained public confidence,
and that the propaganda of the anti-expan-
sionists has dwindled to nothingness. Otis,
DENLY, and certain conditions and influ-
ences within the War Department have
been acting as recruiting sergeants for the
cause of Aguinaldo and domestic treason,
with regrettable and dangerous success for
many weeks. We feel sure the President
must realize this, and we take the greatest
satisfaction in believing that in turning his
back upon these malign things, which have
been sapping his popularity and forfeiting
the good viii OF the honest masses, he is
showing a worthy if tardy determination
TO square himself with his duty and the
honor of his flag and country.
II we are right in this conviction, we are
ready to welcome him back to arms of pa
triotic confidence and TO join with him in
singing the beautiful psalm tune which
begins:
How blest is he who ne'er consents,
BY i'll advice to walk;
Nor stands in sinners ways, nor sits
Where men profanely talk

quoted fits the case exactly and covers
pretty much everything from Algarism,

eide may be one Of those self-centred crea-
lures who are constitutionally miserable
and lonely; and the only way TO cure such
a case as that it to handle it, if possible,
in childhood, and lead the unfortunate
possessor of such a temperament TO seek
relief in the service of others. Some of the
strongest and most lovable characters who
ever lived have been, naturally, of precisely
this temperament, but have trained them
selves to self -forgetfulness and self-sacri-
fee. In any case it is not good state of
society which makes such people more in
stead of less numerous. The worst ele-
ment in modern life is the way in which
everyone is forced into more or less self
seeking attitude. Today if the head of
family lacks the money making instinct-if
he hesitates TO take advantage of his neigh
Dor when he has opportunity-he runs the
risk of leaving his family TO starve in case
of his death or illness That is not the way
TO develop nation that will endure. More
than one suicide has been made by a strug-
gle with just this problem.

Mr. Commissioner Evans, who is at the
head of the Pension Bureau is a Repub-
lican. AS such it might be held. with some
show of reason, that his character is be-
low reproach. But it must be conceded
that, under his administration of the office,
the Government does not appear to be
robbed as openly and flagrantly by the pen
sion sharks as it was under some of his
predecessors We are glad TO see that these
same sharks, not few of whom he has
disbarred, are making trouble for him in
the ranks of the Grand Army of the Re-
public 1t will serve to call attention to
the pension system, which is still open to
criticism on account of numerous abuses,
and encourage Congress to purify it. We
90 not believe that the enemies of Mr..
Evans are accomplishing any brilliant work
in behalf of the class they assume that they
wish to benefit.

BILL AMENDED,

said the speaker, 1.-The bill was at
tackled; draw your own conclusion"
Time was, he said, when the columns
or newspapers voiced public opinion,
and 1t was to check such journals as
those which sold their columns that
legislation was needed He called on
the Senate to vote not only for the bill
under consideration but for all the
several newspaper bills which had been
introduced
Curtin, the author of the amendment,
commended that there was no protection
for the people under the present libel
law. The proposed amendment, he
said, merely made the man who drew
the caricature equally guilty with the
editor who published it. If the law
would reach the artist as well as the
editor, the former would decline to
make pictures for which he would be
liable to arrest. There was no need,
he commended, of legislating against the
respectable papers of the State. There
was no cause to legislate to- restrict the
Sacramento Record Union" or the
Stockton Mali or Independent" 1t
was only intended to legislate against
papers which struck at decency, at vir-
tue and at the home.
AMENDMENTS ADOPTED.
1t was 9:45 o'clock, and the motion
being on Leavitt's amendment, to in

singer, Mutt, Pace, Prisk, Rowell,

Leavitt moved that S. BIS 12S, 800,
$50 and 1856, all relating to newspapers
be made a special order for this even

roll-call withdrew his motion.
