WHAT ARE THE FAoTsY

Since the forced retirement of Mr..
Alger from the war department there
seems to be disposition on the part Of
some of the members of the Republi-
can party who love fair play to talk
out. The attempt OF the President to
shift the responsibility for the malad-
ministration of the war department on
his secretary when in fact the secretary
had simply carried out the instructions
of his chief, has compelled those who
have been silent before, to speak out
and place the responsibility where it
belongs. Since the Alger episode, the
question naturally arises "What are
the facts concerning Otis p' Comment
ing on this question the New York
World says:
1t Ia not unnatural that the soldiers
and large part Of the public should
"roast" Major General Otis. But does
he deserve it? What are the facts |?
Has 1t not been by explicit and detail
ed orders from Mr.. Mckinley that he
has pursued the policy Of peaceful
war ?" Was not the fatal, false "be-
nevolent assimilation" proclamation
written and signed by Mr.. Mckinley
and sent to Otis with orders that 1t be
issued ? Was it not Mr.. Mckinley who
ordered the establishment OF the truth
censorship? Was 1t not Mr.. McKin-
ley who piled upon Otis two distinct
kind OF duties, each kind exacting,
and, In the circumstances created by
Mr.. Mckinley, impossible of successful
performance There was entirely too
much OF this sort OF shifting and shirk-
ing of responsibility in the case Of AL
ger and the staff of incompetents
whom Mr.. Mckinley forced upon him.
Can the trick be repeated at the ex-
pense OF Otis? Why blame the tool
for the bungling hand of its user?

Robert P. Scott, the Republican
millionaire candidate for congress from
Csdiz, has offered to double his s10, 900
bid for the nomination. Some OF the
Republicans Of his district seem to be
greatly shocked at Mr.. Scott's boldness
In Offering to purchase the nomination.
But they shouldn't be. The only diff
ference between Scott and Hanna is,
Scott proposes to do openly what Hanna
does secretly. AS between the two,
Scotts way is the more honorable. II
not the most successful.

TIE oNE-CENT DAILY.

"Press and Printer" publication
devoted to the interests Of printers and
publishers, hits the nail squarely on
the head when it says:
"The formation of trusts along the
line of articles entering into the pro-
anything else, be likely to bring an
end to the one'cent paper, Many OF
these have already raised their price,
and more will have to-"
Even before the formation OF trusts
it was the extremity of foolishness that
led publishers to reduce the price Of
the daily paper to one cent. Publishers
of the one cent daily have learned the
lesson and paid dearly for it, A first
class daily paper cannot be published
for one cent, at profit. Some OF the
metropolitan papers, after suffering
great losses, have gone back to the old
price, two cents. Others will be COM
PEELED to follow or suspend. The for
nation OF the paper trust has advanced
the price of print paper beyond that
which makes it possible to publish a
one cent paper without loss. Publish
ers ought to quit their foolishness and
do business for profit just the same as
other lines of business are conducted
The one-cent daily will have to go
sooner or later and the chances are
that it will be soon.

A NEIGHBOR COMMENTS.
[Ohio Volks Zeitung ]


Our neighbor, the News-Democrat
seems to be on the road to great pros
perlty; many improvements are made in
the different departments and just now
they are remodeling their Office in a
very pleasant, comfortable and luxur-
ious style. The News-Democrat is now
hardly to be recognized, from its for
mer appearance and new vigorous blood
must have entered its veins. The
editorial management is second to none
and richly deserves the support Of every
Democrat.
During the last two months the
News-Democrat has gained over one
thousand subscribers, and the able edi-
torial, as we'll as business management
assures great success for the future.
The Ohio Volks Zeturg also was con-
templating large improvements this
year, but as the so often spoken of
prosperity has not yet made its appear
ance to us, the business manager con-
cluded to postpone the same until next
year.
If the Volks Zeitung would receive
from the Germans of this city the
united support, it would soon appear
daily instead of three times week as
at present.
Pains and energy on the part of the
editorial management are not lacking

]. II. Atherton,a non-Union conduct
or, who was arrested on the charge OF
shooting with intent to kill, was releas-
ed on 81 900 bond signed by H. A. Ev-
erett, president Of the Cleveland Elec-
trio Railway company. Atherton is
alleged to have shot fifteen years old
boy on Wednesday night while sitting
on the porch of his home, bathing his
feet preparatory to retiring for the
night. Some one whistled, This
seemed provocation sufficient for
the non-Union conductor to shoot. An
innocent boy was the victim. Everett
becomes the bondsman for the man
who did the shooting. Violence, un-
lawfulness, and destruction of property
must be suppressed at any cost-when
committed by the Union strikers.

HOr SHOT FOR THE PRESIDENT.

The New York Tribune controlled by
Whitelaw Reed, one Of Mr.. McKinley's
Paris peace commissioners, and always
a thorough going Mckinley organ, has
lately been pouring some hot shot into
the administration, because, first, of
what it calls Mr.. McKinley's betrayal
of the civil service system to which he
and his party were committed, and sec
ond, because of his failure to confirm
the sentence OF the court-martial in the
case of Captain Carter convicted of rob-
bing the government of $1,600,000 by
means OF corrupt contracts. A number
Of prominent Republican papers among
them the Minneapolis Tribune and the
Portland Oregonian have declared that
it may be necessary for the Republican
party to nominate some one else than
Mckinley next year. Harper's Weekly
an enthusiastic supporter OF Mckinley
in 1896, says
We wonder If Mr.. Mckinley knows
what some good men-not gold Demo-
Gratis or independents, but old-time Re-
publicans-are saying OF him. They
are saying that he has done more harm
to the country than Mr.. Bryan could
have done. No one can regret more
than ourselves that this is a fact. We
are not prepared to assent to it, but II
is certainly worthy of Mr.. McKinley's
serious reflection. He Is alternating the
friends who made his election possible
and whose support may be absolutely
necessary to his party next year.

THE MAKING OF A JOURNALIST.

Oddly enough, no book has ever been
published which may be fairly called
an adequate treatment of the business
of American journalism. 1t is to fill
this gap that Julian Ralph, "the best
reporter in the world" has written for
The Saturday Evening Post, of Phila-
delphia, a series Of twelve papers on
The Making of a Journalist.
Mr.. Ralph writes from the viewpoint
of one who has reached the top of his
profession; who has labored unceasing-
ly in the newspaper field for twenty
five years, who has pursued the elusive
thing called "news" into every corner
of the globe, and knows the business
from Alpha to Omega.
To young men who would make jour-
nalism their life-work Mr.. Ralph says:
"Don't;" but, having thus freed his
conscience, he elaborates entertaining.
ly with anecdote and reminiscence the
joys, the vicissitudes and experiences
of the young man who has ink in his
blood. The series will begin in the
Post of August II,

M,KINLEYISM.

There is an element in the Republican
party that believes the King-McKinley
can do no wrong. Whatever he advo-
Gates they believe. Whatever he does
they approve. His judgment is theirs.
In all things he thinks, speaks and acts
for them. Fortunately though, there
is another element in the party that
will follow Mr.. Mckinley when they be-
lieve he is right and oppose when he
is wrong. Among this element is the
Portland Oregonian, leading Repub-
lican paper of the west. 1t pictures
Mckinley and McKinleyism in the fol-
lowing manner:
"The Mckinley Administration has
made most disgraceful appointments to
Office at the behest OF unscrupulous pol
iticians. 1t has betrayed the Civil
Service to the spoilsmen, paralyzed
the organization of the army, violated
its pledges as to currency reform, hui
inflated its most efficient servants and
discredited American Intelligence and
valor in the eyes of the civilized world.
In a time for courage it has failed.
In a time for decision it has hesitated
In time for action it has delayed. In
a time for honest dealing it has palter-
ed and equivocated. It's policy has
been to drift; it's aim has been to pla-
cate everybody, however unworthy,
and cater to everything, however mis-
chievous; it's course has been to sacri-
fee any and every vital interest of the
nation on the altar of nartlsan and ner-
sonal politics"

A PARADOX.

With prosperity at its height Pitts
burg is caring for more unfortunates
than ever. Says the Pittsburg Post in
commenting on this situation
With all the mills and workshops
running in full and labor in demand, it
Is strange that the city home at Mar
shalsea should contain more inmates
than ever before. Prosperity Is as
signed as the reason, too. At present
there are 7S8-484 in the insane depart
ment and 3l4 in the home and hospital
wards. In the hospital there are lob
patients.
This is an increase over the same pc.
riod last year OF 33 insane and l3 in the
other department. The increase has
been gradual, and at no time has there
been any particular rush. Chief Clerk
Robert Clulley, OF the department OF
charities, said:
There is no disputing the fact that
there is work for every man who wants
to find it, and that industrial conditions
are at their zenith. However, this
prosperous condition OF affairs has
caused great influx of people to the
city from all parts OF the surrounding
country. Many OF the new comers are
young men with no friends to look after
them in cases OF sickness or injury
They go to work in the mills, get hurt
and become discharged. After they
have been released from the hospitals
they not caring to risk the dangers o.
the mill or factory again, become
charges of the city, and we are Obliged
to find food and shelter for them. Many
OF the recent cases are OF this charac
ter.
