THE republicans and boilers seem to
be greatly concerned about the silly
and utterly groundless reports to the
effect that the national democratic CON
mittee will recommend repeal of the
rule requiring two.thirds vote for
nomination, the partial abandonment
OF free silver and other things objec-
GionabIe to opponents of the demo-
cratic party. They are taking trouble
for their pains, sud thereby inviting
democratic ridicule. The next national
democratic convention will De conduct
ed just as its predecessors have been,
and whether that conduct shall or shall
not please the enemies of its party, is
cf no consequence.

Now THAT Secretary Alger has re-
signed, the next thing the quidnunc-
have to excite them is the speculation
in respect of the means he will adopt
by which to "get even" Those who
know him best, say ne is not the kind
OF man to submit quietly to i'll treat
ment, and that his knowledge Of the
means by which the President was
nominated and elected, and of the ways
by which his pecuniary and political
debts have been settled, is too ample
and correct to permits man Of his char
acter to refrain from using it, for
revenge ia not only sweet, but it is hu'
man. The secretary's ambition has
been nipped, hnt his natural feelings
affect him as much as ever.

No MATTER what Secretary Alger
may have done since he became m9m
her OF MIR. McKinley's Cabinet, it is not
denied, by anybody, that all or any par
ticular of it was not after consultation
with the President and with his perfect
approval and entire consent. There
fore, if Mr.. Alger be to blame for the
enormous expense and mismansge-
ment of the Spanish and the Philip
pine wars, the President must also be,
and his desertion of the man who has
stood by him faithfully, and tried to
conceal his imperfectiops, is anythiog
else than creditable. But, as kings
have scapegosts, Mr.. Mckinley thinks
he, too, must have them. And his Of
fee holders think so too.

THE SHAMROCK ORITIzED.

Mr.. Richard Grant, late Secretary of

interview yesterday that he liked the
appearance of the Shamrock Tuesday
better than be had at first, but he did
not believe that she was capable of cap
turing the cup. She should have bea ten

ering that the Britannia had passed

less had effected her buoyancy.
Col Yilliers Bagot, the winner of the
Dover oulogne race on Saturday, who
has seen every important yacht
race for the past twenty-five
years, says the Shamrock is too
lumFy in the quarter and alto
gelher too stiff for American waters. He
does not believe that she will succeed
in winning the cup. Ratsey, the sail
maker, is greatly pleased with the
Shamrock's perfoI nance. Ee says
that carrying away of the Shamrock S
backyard meant loss Of two minutes.
A gossip of the Royal Southampton
Yacht Club, said yesterday; 1.-The Sham
rock did better then expected. 1t was
very fair trial, but not S criterion of
what she will do after crossing the
Atlantic. That will handicap her,"

ships OF the very largest draught, and the money
for its construction will probably be voted by
the next Congress. The only complication in
the canal question is the Bulwer-Clayton treaty.
1t now seems likely that the Republic of Mica
ragua will settle that knotty question by request
ing annexation to the United States. The agi-
tation in this direction comes from Nicaragua,
not the United States. This republic could cas-
lily be made territory eligible to statehood. Ger
tainly no objection could be made by England,
or would be tolerated. if made, to the United
States building the canal through her own terri
tory Nor could England or any other Power
object to the annexation of Nicaragua. If the

'"e r"'''pp'"eS be recalled After 11av-
ing every means pos
sible at hand of estimating Aguinaldos fighting
strength and material resources. he made the fa
tai mistake of Understanding his adversary. He
was confident that he could pacifv the islands
with 10000 men. These have been supplied him,
yet he is no nearer that devoutly to-be-desired
end than when he began. Many of the mistakes
of the Administration have been made through
the unreliable information furnished by General
Otis.
When he had an opportunity of effecting the
pacihcation of the islands by the display of ordi-
nary common sense tact and diplomacy. he not
only failed to grasp the opportunity but plunged
the United States into further war which will
take more than twice 10000 men to carry our
banner to victory Already because of the fatal
error in not granting the request of Aeuinaldo
for an armistice, giving time to consider the form
of government for the Filipnos to be proposed
by the United States, has resulted in call for
10000 volunteers to reinforce the army in the
Philippines. General Otis has always underesti

ways at the 'front.' and as skilfull in the handling
of his troops as the Americans. AS an instance
of Aguinaldos great abilities, Mr.. Smith speaks
of the success Of the Herculean task of moving
supplies across the Island of Luzon, where the
general absence OF roads would seem to make
the task impossible In speaking of the probable
duration of the war; he says that Aguinaldo has
a rich country behind him and reserve of men
to draw from equal to five men to one gun; that
he could without difficulty keep up the war for
five years The Spanish and American prisoners
are well treated and are given as much freedom
as is compatible with restraint. In all respects
the Filipinos are carrying on civilized warfare.
Aguinados conception of American principles
OF government are very vague, and it was his
desire to get into closer touch with American
ideals that prompted his request for an armistce.
General Otis should have been in possession of
this information before demanding a surrender.
Is it not about time to send the vigorous, yet
polite, General Miles to the front?
