were paid money by the agents of the DEM
ocratic candidates or committee to absent
themselves from the polls They claim that
they are or have been Republicans. but they
could not resist the temptation of two dol
lars to absent themselves from the polls. One
of them was willing to take 81 and not vote
because the Republicans had not used him
well. The Democratic henchmen did not dare
to offer these men 50 each to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. because they could not trust
them in the voting booth alone. so they
did the next best thing which was to hire
them not to vote This is plain violation
of the anti-bribery law Consequently IL the
law is to be of any value these men should
be indicted and tried. Will It be done? The
testimony also brought out the name of an
other person who should be indicted and
tried-the election clerk who induced the
colored voter to say before he voted and
while in the voting room that he desired
to vote the Republican ticket and then de-
clared that the ignorant voter had disquali-
fed himself. The election officer who delib-
erately leads an ignorant man to disqualify
himself should be severely punished.

plcity in the recent Memphis train robbery
at Macon, Mo-, have been bound over to the

THE MILEs-EAGAN QUARREL.

The statement of General Eagan would
have been very effective if he had not weak
ened it by an exhibition of what may prop
erly be stigmatized as blackguardism. Such
an exhibition is disgusting wherever made,
but it is shocking when made by high Of
ficer of the army. The country has right
to expect a better example by men who
have been taught to observe the amenities
Of life. 1t is no excuse that General Miles
has ignored the discipline which he should
enforce by his own conduct. He is respon-
sible to military law, and military law is
generally enforced. Consequently, whatever
may be the outcome of the investigation or
the court of inquiry. General Eagan should
be called to answer to the charges of con
duct unbecoming an officer and a gentle
man" and of conduct prejudcial to good
order and military discipline
So far as General Miles is concerned, he is
open to severe censure in that he did not
make complaint of the inferior quality of
the beef at the time to the secretary of
war, instead of waiting three months and
then making the charges to a board of in
vestigation. If the beef supplied was unfit
for food, the senior major general of the
army, if he had knowledge Of it, should
have lost no time in informing the officers
who had the power to stop the supply. Not
doing that, he placed himself in as unen-
viable light as he would place the secre-
tary Of war and the commissary general, if
his charges have a basis in fact The testi-
mony which has been taken thus far does
not sustain the charges of General Miles,
SO that the impression now prevails that
he has been talking wildly. He certainly
has not profited by the example of the great
soldiers under whom he won his first hon
ors. General Grant and the other men who
have been at the head of the army would
not have been interviewed by a reporter if
they had possessed such knowledge as he
has made public. They would have gone to
the secretary of war, or they would have
preferred charges against the men he has
assailed in an unsworn statement and in
newspapers.
Probably court of inquiry will now be
appointed to investigate the meat supply
Such d tribunal can get at the facts. If
General Miles cannot bring evidence to sus-
tain all the charges which General Eagan
has denied, he can scarcely hold his position
at the head of the army.

THE DEVELOPING OF THE PRESI-
DENTS POLICY.

Gradually the purpose of the President in
regard to Cuba and the Philippines is de-
veloping. Senator Foraker, speaking, as is
claimed, by authority in the Senate, de-
clares that it is the purpose of the President
to treat Cuba and the Philippines alike,
and that permanent occupation is no part of
his policy. In Havana, by acts, the Presi-
dents policy is declared. Prominent Gu
bans have been called to fill responsible
places in the civil government. This clearly
indicates the plan of the President which
is that as fast as civil rule shall be extended
in Cuba, Cubans will be called to administer
it. Thus gradually the government of the
island will be transferred to the hands of
Cubans When the local governments are
administered by intelligent natives it will
not be difficult for them to agree upon a
stable and independent government for the
whole island. The purpose of the Presi-
dent is to secure the aid of the best men in
Cuba to establish good government.
Assuming that Senator Foraker spoke for
the President when he said that Cuba and
the Philippines are to be treated alike the
natives of the islands will be called to re-
sponsible positions in the government as
rapidly as the general security will admit
The permanent occupation of either possess
sion is no part of the Presidents policy.
His acts combat the theory of perpetual oc-
cupation. The annexation which the So
called anti-imperialists have conjured up tc
brighten themselves and the timid is their
own man of straw. These excellent gem
tlemen are fighting a thing which has no
existence. For time they have deceived
the people as would those members of the
House who are introducing resolutions pro-
testing against the proposed attack upon the
Filipinos at Iloilo, to give the country the
impression that such is the purpose of the
President.
The expansion policy of the President is
not the permanent occupation of the recent
Spanish possessions; it is not the annexing
of them to the United States. 1t is not an
expansion which will make the natives citi-
zens of the United States. 1t is simply the
exercise of the authority and good will of
this country over peoples which have no
government because OF the driving out of
Spain, to continue until stable government
of the natives can be organized. 1t prevents
the anarchy which the emotional Senator
Mason mistakes for human liberty and as
sists the well-disposed natives to establish
local governments upon the basis of social
order, which is the result of the intelligent
exercise of freedom. The real expansion of
those who advocate this policy is a broad
ening of the influence of the United States
with the nations with which we hold COM
mercial relations. To that end the United
States may hold enough Of the Philippines
to afford ample naval stations. not for the
intimidation of the natives, but to be foot
holds for our expanding traffic in the East.

The bill which has been introduced in the
Legislature prohibiting the construction of
bridges by County Commissioners except by
advertising and competitive bidding should
become law, either as part of a general
reform system or as an amendment to the
present law. Perhaps no other feature of
County Commissioners work has given rise
to more crookedness and scandal than the
practice of awarding bridge contracts with
out competition. Next to school supply con-

THEY'RE TALKING, NOW"
The No "HeIIO Girl" Telephone Com
pany Wants English Money.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. 13.-The auto
matte telephone exchange, an organization
promoting the advancement of telephone
exchange which works without the hello
girl" was before Judge Jenkins to-day on a
petition to have its options on its patents
extended. The Stroger Telephone Exchange
is the patentee Of the telephone exchange,
and the automatic company. in 1897 took an
option on the patents and secured the right
TO sell an English syndicate in that coun-
try. which it did for over half a million
dollars. The Stroger Company now sets up
the claim that the English deal was not
effected until the system was exploited by
it in the United States, and intimates that
the further results of the sale should go TO
the original or Stroger Company.
