ON THE PHILIPPINE WAR.

Robert Ingersoll loved liberty. Free
dom was always his theme. During a
visit to the west in May last, he was
asked for his opinion on the war in the
philippines. The following was his re-
ply:
ST have one sentiment for the SOL
diers-cheers for the living and tears
for the dead. II it were meet to weep
over the sacred dust of the brave who
died to render our flag stainless and
keep it in the sky, it is now in order to
food the graves Of the boys who are
falling in the Philippine Islands. For
they are not fighting to add luster to
old Glory or to save the Union, but
as mere machines at the behest OF the
administration, which, for the time be.
ing, is the government OF the United
States.
"War with Spain, for which the
volunteer took up arms, has long since
ended. Congress has not declared war
against the Filipinos nor voted money
to carry on a foreign war OF conquest.
Then why this thunder OF guns, the fly
ing thunderbolts of he'll and these new
made graves as numberless as the
stars? 1t is war not in behalf o.
liberty, but against il. Our arms are
not adding glory to the flag, but in
stead are staining that starry
emblem OF freedom with
the blood aud tears of a people
fighting for the rights OF self-govern
ment. The soldier Is not to blame. i
has always been considered glorious
thing to die fighting for the truth, lib
erty and eternal right. But when ont
falls in the Philippine war there burns
no halo OF glory above his dust, but hi
sad, untimely uncalled-for death cause
tears to moisten the eyes OF every pat
riot in the land. Therefore when h,
| falls in such war his bier should b.
drapsd in deepest mourning and drench
ed with the tears OF his fellow country
men.
"Take Colonel Stolzenberg as an ex
ample. No braver, truer soldier eve
wore uniform or marched in the shad
ow OF a flag. He recently remarkeI
that he was sick OF such war, an
looked forward to the near future whel
he and his brave volunteers would b
relieved from killing men who wer
fighting for independence. He arrive
on the battlefield fresh from the arm
OF his wife at Manila; at the head {
his regiment, leading charge, he fell
pierced through the heart.

Mr.. Alger can do, but conducting a
great war is not one OF them"
So the Secretary bungled during the
war with Spain? When did the Re.
view make the discovery? Since AL.
gers resignation? Here is what Mr..
Mckinley says in his letter to Alger
accepting his resignation:
"Iu thus severlng the official rela-
tion which has continued for more than
two years, desire so thank you for the
feithful service you have rendered the
country at a most exacting period and
to wish you long and happy life.
With assurances OF high regard and
esteem, am yours, sincerely.
WILLIAM MCKINLEY"
II as the Review says, Mr.. Alger has
bungled then Mr.. Mckinley has
thanked Mr.. Alger for his faithful
bungling in conducting the war with
Spain.
But, after all, was the Secretary oi
War responsible for the maladminis.
tration of the war department. 1t fs
the opinion of the vast majority of the
people Of the country that Mr.. McKin-
ley had more to do with the chung.
ling" the Review complains OF, than the
Secretary Of War.

COL. ROBERT @. INGERsoLL.

The death of Robert Green Ingersoll
takes away a man OF mark and acknow-
lodged ability and eloquence.
He was born at Dresden, y. Y, Aug
ust II, 1893. His father was Congre'
gational clergyman of broad views and
sometimes alarmed his members, The
family removed west in 1913 and
Roberts boyhood was passed in Wis
consin and Illinois. After studying
law, he and his brother Eben opened
an Office at Shawneetown, Ill. Eben
was subsequently, elected to congress
and in 1860 Robert was the Democratic
candidate for congress, but was de-
feated. Prier to this they had located
in Peoria. In 1862 he became colonel ol
the 1lth Illinois cavalry and year
and half later united with the
Republican party. In 1866 he was ap
pointed attorney general Of Illinois and
at the national Republican convention
OF 1875 he proposed the nomination oi
James G. Blaine in a speech which at
tracted attention and made him known
throughout the country, after which he
was in demand as campaign orator
He refused the post OF minister to Ger
many in 1877. His fame as a lawyer
became known the country ever and he
took part as attorney in many noted
lawsuits. He was counsel for the so
called Star-route conspirators, whose
trial ended in acquittal in 1888. He /:
especially we'll known by his books
pamphlets and speeches directed
against the Christian religion. He ha:
also written and published in other
lines. 1t will be seen that Colonel In
gersoll did not quite complete sc years
but he made his mark in the world anG
no one will question his ability and his
standing as citizen and a man.

An Ohio girl waited until her fiance
secured the license and then changed
her mind. OF course that was her
privilege, but at the same time it
shouldn't be abused. The girl could
change her mind as often as she liked,
but when she permitted her sanguine
would-be husband to get out the license
and have their names enrolled on the
probate Office books, she went a little
too far. 1t costs money to get license,
aud you can't get it back, and the girl
really--from subsequent developments
-wasn't worth the outlay.-Plain
Dealer.
Has this reference to the giddy girl
from Paris township who played this
ugly trick, some months ago, on her
would-be husband? In this instance,
though, we believe the fellow got his
seventy.tive cents back. Lucky boy.

THE MIseovERNMENT OF CITIES.

Mayor Harrison, Of Chicago, has re-
Gently contributed a paper to the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post on
'The Misgovernment OF the Modern
City, in which he says much ofinterest
to the citizen OF any American muni-
cipality great or small. The mayor
believes that large majority of the
citizens OF a municipality desire to be
we'll and honestly governed, and that a
small number are content with any
form of municipal government that is
directly profitable to them and their
interests. Mr.. Harrison speaks rather
despairingly of the future government
of his city. He says:
81 confess that after more than two
years management OF the affairs OF the
most rapidly growing municipality in
this country, fear for the character of
future municipal government IL educa-
tion of the masses does not progress
more rapidly than 1t has. We cannot
have pure municipal government until
the voting majority Of every commu-
nifty takes a personal interest in all
legislation, attends the primary with
the same fidelity as the polls, under
stands exciting laws, and displays deep
concern in the acts OF legislatures, COM
mon councils and public officials"
He believes public apathy to be the
root of dishonesty. Legislatures, he
says, twill not be honest in the fase of
public apathy" Governors will not
touch the public pulse If its beat is in
distinct; mayors will not respect public
criticism II it is confined to the mouth
ings OF parading "reform" organiza-
tions, too often devised to conceal the
VOLTS head under the skin OF the
lamb"
He regards the state legislature and
the municipal council as meat and
wine for the corporation element, the
most destructive factor of official hon
esty. The mayor boldly declares that
municipal misgovernment has unques-
tionably its start in the legislature.
"The price Of municipal official homes.
ty," says Mr.. Harrison, ''is eternal
vigilance on the part Of the citizen"
Aldermen cannot be bribed when
every man irrespective Of party is
watching his public acts"
In closing his valuable paper, he
says
Municipal misgovernment as mani.
tested today in nearly every large city ol
this country is mainly due to public in.
difference to the character OF the men
chosen for Office and public apathy on
the legislation they are to bring about
To me the duties OF attending a pri
mary, or being at convention, OF not
missing the polls, OF throwing a search
| light upon the characters of men nom.
mated for Office, are almost as sacred
as those man owes to his wife and his
children. The problem OF municipal
government is as simple as A B G
when those who formed the foundation
OF that government refuse to act uutil
they see. Let the taxpayer take as
deep an interest in the life and acts sf
his rulers as the corporation does, or
the private individual with an ak to
grind, and all the power of gold cannot
keep officials from being honest to the
people, their oatts, and their Cod"

IMPERIALIsTIC LYING UNDER THE
CENSORSHIP.

A few OF the administration papers
mildly condemn the system of lying
practiced under the censorship, some
excuse it on Otis's plea that "the truth
might alarm the people at home,"
while others defend it on the broad
principle OF ''stand by the President"
at whatever cost. The New York Post
one Of the papers that gave Mr.. Nc
Kinley unstinted support in 1896 has
no hesitaucy in placing the RESPONSE
bility where it properly belongs, not
on his underlings, but on the President
himself The Post says:
In unconcealed CONSERVATION, our
imperialists at Washington and
throughout the country discovered yes
terday that their policy OF suppression
and deceit is melancholy ruin. The
exposure by the newspaper correspon-
dents at Manila OF the fraud which has
been deliberately practiced upon the
American people, is the most terrible
blow which President Mckinley has
received. For to him it comes back.
| This futile war in the Philippines Is
his war. II his underlings have acted
like knaves or fools, they are still his
underlings, chosen by him, kept in Of

HANNA FACTION

Special to the News-Democrat.
Cleveland, July 24.-Secretary Of
State Kinney has revenged himself
upon Senator Hanna, for the latter's
declaration that the Secretary is a
Odd pup" AS result Of Mr.. Kin
ney's patient waiting the junior sena-
tor has been again turned down in his
home county OF Cuyahoga, and the
Hanna faction in the politics Of that
bailiwick has been eliminated from the
equation. Two members of the Cuya-
hoga county Board of Deputy State
Supervisors Of Election were named,
at the dictation of the joint Holcomb-
McKisson committee. These men will
hold the balance of power in the board,
and it, therefore, becomes certain that
the ticket nominated at the joint Hol-
mb-McKisson primaries, to be held
on September 7, will be declared the
regular nominated one. The ticket to
be placed in nomination seven days
latter by the Hanna men will be dis
regarded, and will never be given q
place on the official ballot. In fact, the
fact that the insurgents have full con-
troll of the board of supervisors OF cleo
tion probably means that the Hanna
committee will not hold a primary
election at all. The board will have
full control of the situation, and the
Hanna men will hardly fight against
Inevitable defeat. The cards have been
staked against them.
In the appointment OF J. G.. Fisher, a
Republican, and Dan Glndelsperger, a
Democrat, he secured the control of the
board of the Holcomb- -McKisson COM
mittees. Their ticket will be declared
the legal one, and the other might as
we'll not be nominated.
This action means that the Hanna
faction in Republican politics in Cuya-
hoga county is practically wiped out.
Many of the candidates who paid as
sessments to the Hanna committee did
80 under the proviso that the money
thus paid would be refunded, in the
event that the board of state supervis-
ors of. elecuon is dominated by the
comb-Mckisson men. AS this has
been now made certain it follows that
many of the candidates for nomination
will pay no further attention to the
Hanna committee or its primaries, and
that body will be forced to dissolve, it's
usefulness having been ended. Nat
urally, the anti-Hanna forces are elat-
ed over this victory, and promise that
1t Is but first OF many victories to be
won in the future from the junior sena
tor and his legions.
