Wheeler And The AgulnaIdists.

Philadelphia Press.
The Decoration Day address of General
Wheeler in Boston will not furnish any
comfort to the little coterie of men who
have been screaming imperialism, and
trying to conceal their lack Of patriotism
under cloak of hypocritical interest in
the cause of liberty and humanity. His
reference to these Aguinaldists, as they
have been rightly called, and who have
their headquarters in Boston, was so point
ed that there will be no mistaking for
whom it was meant. The shot will go
straight home.
General Wheeler's remarks on this point
are worth quoting. They were as follows
Patriotic devotion can be. exercised by
volunteering to serve in the field, but it
may also be most proftably exerted in
encouraging confidence among our people
at home. Certainly no good, and only
evil, can come from words and acts which
tell rival nations that even portion of
our people, however few, are not in full
sympathy with our Government, or, what
is worse, that any Americans actually do
sympathize with our country's enemies.
Such course cannot fail to weaken conf
dence and embarrass the executive power.
Those who insist that the power Of the
United States is so great that it must al
ways triumph will admit that difficulties
or obstacles created by some of our own
people will have the effect of retarding at
least in some degree the prompt and
happy restoration TO perfect and lasting
peace"
These utterances meet the situation ex-
actly. They voice the sentiments of a
large majority of the American people, a
majority, in fact, so large that it approach
es unanimity. The anti-imperialists as
they call themselves, or Aguinaldists, as
they should be called, placed themselves
across the pathway of progress and were
run over. And they are apparently be-
coming convinced of the hopelessness Of
their cause. Two newspaper organs in
Boston have deserted them, Charles Fran
CHS Adams and Charles ]. Bonaparte refuse
to be Unidentified with them any longer
and the whole trend Of popular sentiment
is against them. They must themselves
recognize the humiliating failure they have
made in their effort to impress public SEN
timent. To this is doubtless due the less
ening in vocilerousness of their claims.
In this respect the Aguinaldist are on
ly repeating the story of the Tories of the
Revolution, Of the Blue Lights of the War
of 1872 and of the Northern Copperheads
of 1S61-65. The fate of these men should
have taught such shallow imitators as Ed
ward Atkinson, Edwin D. Mead, Professor
Laughin and President Rogers that there
is no patriotism in antagonizing ones
country when it is at war. General
Wheeler's Characterization is the latest
and most singing criticism of their course
and it will complete their discredit before
che public.

CIVIL SERVICE CHANGES.
Conditions Which Justified the Action of
President Mckinley.
Hartford aConrnntv tRep.l.

Hartford "Courant' tRep).
There is likely to be a hue and cry over
the removal of a large number of deputies
of the internal revenue service out of the
civil service rules by the Presidents or
der's yesterday. But those people, who
think first and don't shout until after that.
will save their Threats.
The internal revenue collectors have the
custody of very large sums of money and
are under heavy bonds for all che money
that the law brings under their scope.
They have to be Financially responsible
for every deputy. 1t is the teaching OF
common sense that man should be allow
ed 10 choose those whom he is to trust.
People who occupy confidential positions
are always exempt from the stiff rnles that
arbitrarily eliminate the personal element.
A man is notjustiGed in trusting strangers.
1t is a sign Of business incapacity. When
somebody is cheated he loses sympathy at
once if he admits that he trusted man
whom he did not know
The civil service regulation, however,
has compelled this sort of trust. The col
lectors have had 10 trust men they did mol
know, and even in some cases men who
were openly hostile and Boosting that the
very man who was financially responsible
for their conduct Couldn't" touch fem.
There is no evasion of the spirit of genuine
and intelligent civil service regulation il
removingIthe laws of competitive selection
from the deputy internal revenve collect
ors and letting the collectors choose thei
own confidential assistants.

BByAN.ALTeELD COMBINATION.

The great Bryan-Altgeld combination
held the boards at Louisville, KY, at the
meeting of the Ohio Valley League of
BimetalHc Clubs, on the 3lst ult. When
Altgeld was introduced to the meeting it
is said: "The greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed when the Illinois statesman arose
to address the convention, the delegates
rising to their feet, waving hats and
cheering Justify"
We find the Democrats, calling Altgeld
the STATESMAN from Illinois," How long
has it been since he was denounced by the
Democrats as the socialist of Illinois?
How long has it been since the Democrats
at the South were denouucing the views
now held by Algeld and Bryan as socialis-
tic and populistic? When Weaver and
Mrs. Lease came South to advocate the
same doctrines that are now taught by the
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1899-06-08

IT looks very much like the Richmond
Times is trying to work itself into posi-
ton to support Mr.. Bryan in 1900. The
Times and Mr.. Bryan are together on two
issues, free trade and anti.expansion but
are antipodes on trusts and sound money.
If the constant pleas of the Times for a
compromise platform in 1900 are made
with hope of getting Mr.. Bryan to re-
nounce free silver and the other wild dec
larations of the Chicago platform, it is in
dulging in vain hope.

Platform aud Candidate for 600.

Atlanta Constitution" Dem.(.
Though the national Democratic conven-
ton will not assemble for more than a
year, there are two things it will do with
out the shadow of doubt: First, it will
reiterate the Chicago platform of 1895
word for word and, second, it will nomi-
nate William J. Bryan for President.
These ae not predictions, they are GER
tainties they are matters that have al
ready been settled agreeabiy to the will
and desire of the Democratic voters.
Should Mr.. Bryan live he will be the nom-
inee of the convention. In any event, the
platform af 1896 will be reiterated without
he change of word or syllable.

OHIO STATE CONVENTION.

Our Democratic friends are very much
disappointed at the outcome of the Ono
State Republican convention, which met
at Columbus last Thursday and Friday.
There was strong hope in the minds OF
the Democrats that there would be an in
harmonious wrangle and President Nc
Kinley's Administration be made to suffer
thereby. The meeting was harmonious
and nominations for state officers made
without any bad feeling being created
Toe following ticket was nominated;
For governor, George X. Nash; for
lieutenant governor, John A. Caldwell;
for Auditor of State, w. D. Guilbert; for
treasurer of the state, Isaac D. Cameron;
for attorney general, James M. Sheets; Tor
Supreme Judge, w. D. Davis; for member
Board of Public works, Frank Huffman.
The ticket is pronounced good one, and
is sure to win.

MEXlCO'S RURAL POLICE
Its Unique Character, the Way in Which
1t Was Organized and
Its Efficiency.

St. Louis "Globe-Democrat"
Whatever the virtues and defects per-
tanning to her municipal police service
Mexico may justly boast of the most eff,
Gent as we'll as attractive system of rural
protection to be found anywhere in our
hemisphere. Apropos Of the particular
jurisdiction to which its authority extends,
this picturesque organization is known as

cendents of this powerful arm of the law
are as full Of romantic interest as its sub

complishments. When General Porfrio
Diaz launched forth on his splendid career
as chief executive of then infantile Next
co republic, all that vast territory extend
ing from the Gulf to the Pacific, and from
the Rio Grande to the very gates of the cap
ital, was infested and controlled by pro-
digious fraternity of brigands.
Operating in ferfect harmony and under
the direction of shrewd and crafty leaders
this nefarious organization was grave
menance 10 the future prosperity Of the
new government. Besides the Wholesale

But the marvellous tact of General Diaz
proved equal to the emergency. Inviting

Being furnished with this, the President

The QUAY Trial.


.Pittsburg Times.
The appointment of nj. S. Quay
to succeed himself caused cold
chill to run up the backs of the
'insurgent'' leaders. They await
the next move with great deal of
Shenandoah Herald.
The acquittal of Senator Quay,
and his subsequent appointment as
United States Senator is the be-
ginning of the vindication that will
be finally and gloriously consum-
mated by the people of Pennsyl-
venia. .-Chambersburg Repository.
The establishment of a precedent
by the admission of the appointee
of the Governor in this instance
would serve a very excellent pur-
pose in teaching legislatures that
they must not be recreant to duty
and fail to fulfill the plain require
ments of the law.-NOrristoWn
Herald.
1t was great legal battle, fought
by giants OF the legal fraternity.
Every point was contested, Every
argument was made. Every pre-
cedent and legal technicality was
enlisted by one side or the other.
The jury was guarded with care,
and the conduct of the court and
trial were most admirable. -
Doylestown Intelligencer.
After another "greatest fight of
his life" Mr.. Quay emerges from
the shadow of the courts completely
vindicated of the numerous charges
made against him by renegades of
his own party. Mr.. Quay now
stands as usual, smiling at his
enemies and ready for fresh start
and another fight. "Keep your
eye on Quay. .'-Bradford Record.
Even the majority Of those who
have been and are politically op-
posed to Mr.. Quay will admit that
the trial throughout was fair one
and that the case Of the Common
wealth was handled with consum-
mate ability. The judge who pre-
o;dod !. an avcnIlanf Iawve, and Il
surely cannot be said with truth

been kept informed Of everything

they not received encouragement
from this country. which caused
them to believe that there was
possibility of our withdrawing
from the islands, if they fought
stubbornly enough, there would
never have been any revolt. The
action of Gen. Otis in telling the
representative of Aguinaldo that
the only conditions under which
he would stop fighting were to
grant Il general amnesty for an
unconditional surrender, is 50 fully
indorsed by the administration
that no orders have been sent to
him. 1t is felt that he has cor

Census Taking In China.

In china census methods are simple.
They don't have much trouble to take
a census there When the time for max
ing a count of the families and their
individual members comes around, the
head Of each house is compelled by law
to write on a slip Of paper the number
of individuals living with him and the
name Of each person. The authorities
lay particular stress upon correct spell
ing, and there is a severe penalty at
tached to any Misrepresentation either
as to the number of persons or their
names. This obviates in the beginning
the wrestling with unpronounceable
names, which helps to make life inter
esting for the American census taker,
and reduces the enumeration Of the
population of Chinese city to a very
simple process.
