SPANS Failure.

With the sale of islands to Germany,
Spain was wiped from the map of Asia.
as she was marked from the map of
America by the treaty with the United
States. Of the old colonial holdings on
the two continents 10000 square miles
goes to Germany and 10000 to the
United States. Spain still has 242, 900
of almost worthless territory in Africa,
island possessions mostly. They are
governed from the Canary islands as the
Philippines were from Mexico before
that country became Independent. The
colonies of Spain have all vanished, so
far as her ownership is concerned. In
four centuries of colonial power Spain
received favulous wealth from her ter
ritory but it appears to have all been
squandered and not used to the advant-
age of that country or the colonies.
Even after South American countries
and Mexico achieved independence,
Spain did not alter her oppressive and
un-business like policy. Now she stands
shorn of all the fruits of the zeal of
early explorers and the mania of con-
quest that obtained for her so many
rich. lands. AS a failure in govern
ment Spain is the most monumental.

The supreme court of Indiana yester-
day gave an important decision that may
lead up to restraint OF incorpo-
rated companies that combine to
raise prices for articles consumed
by the people in a state where the
companies are Incorporated. The deci-
sion is that an oil and natural gas com
pany that went into a combination to
raise prices thereby forfeited its charter.
The case will probably be taken to the
United States supreme court and a deci-
sion there may teach oil trusts and
Others a wholesome lesson. But there
is another case already before that tri-
bunal which calls for a decision on the
right of the federal government itself to
restrain trusts that are monopolies. If
the suit in which the Addyston Pipe
company is involved be decided unfa-
vorably to the company, then the way
is open to restrain combinations that
can be proved to be monopolies.

The American contention that a IA
ton engaged in war should not sieze
shipping belonging to citizens of a coun-
try with which war is waged, has been
endorsed at the Hague. England has
heretofore refused to sanction the re-
form. For a great country like England
or the United States to permit wal YES
sells to chase and capture private ships
on the open sea to allow sailors to secure
prize money, is a species of piracy, a
relic of robber warfare. Since 1885 this
country has been committed to abandon
ment of the practice, but the enlighten-
ed mistress of the sea, Great Britain, adj

The new Spanish minister has an
American wife. If the former minister
had. been so mated he would have known
enough not to permit his country to 60
to war. The Mexican minister to this
country for two decades was welded to
an American girl and she kept him on
the right side. For his country he con
stantly cultivated the good will of the
United States. The United States gov
eminent can rely upon Washington
bellies to capture every desirable nm
married diplomat sent to the capital. 1t
might be wise diplomacy to invite for
eign governments to send only bachelors
to America as ministers, then missionary
work of the women would tell.

OHIO STRUCK THE KEYNOTE.
New York SUM-

One and only one issue is presented to
the voters of Ohio, and that is the IN
dorsement of the administration of the
distinguished citizen of the Buckeye
state, the president of the United States.
1t is recorded that each time reference
was made to President Mckinley and to
his administration of national affairs,
the delegates expressed their approval
/ with ~''unbounded enthusiasm" "We
earnestly indorse the great admins
tration of President Mckinney" de-
clare the Republicans of Ohio. eft
is distinguished to a remarkable
degree in the history of national ad-
mi%nistrations,' which is as sound a
declaration as ever appeared in a poll
tical platform. How could it be other
| wise with an administration which has
placed the national credit and the ma
| TONS finances on the flrmest of founda-
tions, which has developed the prosperity
of the country to an unprecedented eX-
tent, has expanded Its commerce to an
amazing degree, which has given wider
employment to American labor, and has
furnished new fields for the exercise of
American capital, which has given to
this nation a new and supreme place
among the powers of the world, and
| which, above all, has guided the army and
the navy Of the.people to the successful
and brilliant termination of a war with
a foreign country. 1t is, indeed, a distin-
guished and remarkable administration,
and there is no cause for wonder that
It's achievements have excited the ad-
miration and approval of the Repub-
licans of Ohio, at the same time justify
ing their confidence In the ability and
power of the president and his advisers
to guide the country to the successful
solution of ''the momenteus problems
of the future Of Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines"
The Republicans of Ohio are sound
and orthodox. They have struck the
keynote for the party In all the states
Of the Union, which is greater and more
powerful today because of the brilliant
administration of Ohio's former gov
ernOr.

PRESS COMMENTS.
IRRIGATION IN THE CONGRESS-.
Denver NeWS.)

The topic which created the most dis
cussion and the fiercest rivalryin the
Transmississippi commercial congress at
Wichita last week was irrigation. The
division came on the question of asking
the federal congress for a $500, 900, 900
appropriation for storage reservoirs, or
for a cession of the arid lands to the
states. The resolutions as finally passed
were a compromise. How to obtain q
reclamation of the arid lands west of the
Missouri is of much less Importance than
the fact that the necessity of this recla-
nation is so thoroughly impressed on the
public mind as to absorb so much of the
time and attention of a commercial gath
ering representing this vast territory.
This simply means, as pointed out in
these columns a few days ago, that the
irrigation question has taken a place
in the public mind to stay until it is dis
posed of by the adoption of a policy on
the part of the federal and state gov
eminent that shall result in the placing
of these lands under cultivation by as
surfing them an abundant supply of
water.

Civil Service MiSfitS.

The action of the president in taking
1000 places out of the civil service list
is creating much comment from those
who do not stop to consider the char
acter of the positions so affected. For
the most part, if not all, they are said to
be places to which the civil service rules
could not we'll be applied. as shown by
experience.
That great civil service advocate,
Grover Cleveland, is quoted as saying,
when he made a sweeping order putting
SO many positions under civil service,
that experience would show that many
places should be excepted, and that they
could then be taken from under the
operations of the law. As a matter of
fact, the law was largely ignored during
Cleveland's last administration, and his
last action extending the service was in
tended to perpetuate in Office Democrats
who were new appointees.
Civil service in some branches is bene-
fetal. In some cases the requirements
are inapplicable. President Mckinley
has had the courage to draw the line,
and to decide that such positions shall
not necessarily be held continuously
just because %incumbents happened to
secure them.
In many cases, doubtless, no changes
will now be made. If there be unfit
ness, or the service can be improved, or
where equally competent or experienced
men who are in sympathy with the
policy Of the government are available,
changes will occur.
If all of the 1000 men whose positions
are in peril be removed, it concerns the
public little if worse men be not chosen
and the service not injured. That such
will not be the result the people can
feel assured by the record President
Mckinley has made of choosing COM
petent officials. So far the administra-
ton has been singularly exempt from
trouble over the unfitness of any OF the
multitude of subordinate employees scat
tered throughout the country. There
are, of course, some misfits, who may
perhaps have all of the civil service
educational qualifications and yet by
temperament, crankiness and i%ntoler-
ance of the personal rights Of citizens,
be unfit to remain in office.
Sometimes an officer who is truculent
to his superiors is a martinez in dealings
with the public, whom he thinks cannot
disturb the security of his position while
civil service rules govern. Such a mar
may think that by making trouble for
people who do business with his office,
he wins a favorable reputation at
Washington for rigid enforcement OF
rules and as an executive officer. But
broad gauge men chosen for the higher
positions consider that the government
is for the people, that all employees are
merely assistants Of the government for
the people, and should not unnecessarily
harass them.
When u subordinate is a trouble to
the public rather than an aid, civil
service rules that hold him in place be-
come a misfit. In such an instance the
president ought to have much latitude
in determining whether the idiosyncra- /
sizes and unpopularity of a subordinate,
and the habit of making enemies for
himself and the department he repre-
sents by causing friction, do not Justify !
