1t is q war to the death, under blister
ing sun and through tangled jungles,
against a horde of fierce savages led by a
flend in oarnate-Kennebec Journal
This 'flend inoarnate" is Aguinaldo
who was carried on our warships from
Hong Kong to Manila, to assist JUS
against the Spsniards, having been So
licited to become our ally by one Of our
consuls. Most of the arms with which
the troops of the ''fiend incarnate" are
supplied were obtained from the Spanish
rsenal at Cavite with our connivance.
AS long as the "hend incarn ate'' was as
slsting us against the Spaniards he was
u very able and distinguished man, and
we remember on several occasions that
our officers Indignantly denied that he
had treated Spanish prisoners cruelty.
Indeed, we were so much enamored of
him at one time that distinguished Re
publican Senator characterized him as
the George Washington of the Philip
pinet." The responsibility for Aguinal-
dos presence in the Philippines toda7
and for his troops being armed with
Mauser rifles is largely ours. Had we
known him as well as we do now we
should have been more careful how we
trusted him.

Gen. Otis continued his advance upon
Malolos yesterday, the insurgents repeat
Ing their tactics of the preceding days of
the lighting, delivering a few volleys and
then falling back. Malolos Is the Filipi-
no capital and the seat of such govern
ment as they have. 1t is supposed to be
strongly entrenched, and undoubtedly
Aguinaldo's army will be- concentrated
there for a final stand. There can be but
little question that the Americans will
drive 1t out of MalOlos. as they have driven
1t out of the other towns between Malolos
nnd. Manila. though the task may be more
arduous and attended with greater loss
to our forces. The unfortunate feature
of the situation Is that our attempt to sur
round the Insurgents has failed, and that
they eau re az from Malolos as readily
as from Malabon or Polo. Driving them
out may break up the army into guerilla
bands. and hurt Aguinaldo's prestige, but
it Will neither capture nor destroy them.
They will still be able to harass our troops
and perhaps to inflict serious losses upon
them during the long wet season which
is close at hand, unless they conclude to
submit, which Is not likely.

lit seems that to Representative Mac
farlane, of the Greenville district, belongs
the honor of being the introducer of M ore
successful bills than any other mem Der
of the Maine Legislature. An old aud
cynical legislator once said that it was
no credit to man 10 get through u bill
that ought to pass. The credit was in
passing bill that ought not to pass. Mr.
Macfarlane's honors, however. rest upon
no such standard. The very first bill
was to prevent the river drivers from
wearing their spiked boots in public
places, thus obliterating those peculiar
footprints in northern hotels, suggestive
of shot guns.

pendent the Rev. Hugh Pedley, a leading
Congregationalist of Northwest Canada,
attributes the success of Sir Wilfred
Laurier in Canadian politics to the
growth of the spirit of freedom in the
Province of Quebec, and he thinks this
growth due largely to the contact of
French Canadians with the democracy of
New England manufacturing towns to
which they went seeking,employment and
from which they returned bringing ideas.
II has been the good patured boast of the
French Canadians that their prolific race
would overrun New England; but here
seems to be q counter action which they
did not count on.

Tho Hartford Courant (Senator Haw-
ley's paper), no longer has any doubt
that the canned roast beef was bad and
unfit for soldiers food. 1t says that Gov.
Roosevelt's evidence settles it, and then
Observation-Disclosures words of reproof and
warning to the officials at Washington.
1t would have been a much wiser line
Of action Tor the 'commissary- general
frankly to admit that in the hurry and
hurly- burly of preparation for war mum
Der of things went wrong, and to throw
himself u.,on the forgiveness of his very
good-natured countrymen. If he had
done his work thoroughly well, they
would have given him unstinted praise.
AS things are, Eagan's six years vacation
on full pay does not satisfy their sense of
Justice, and cannot be made to satisfy 1t.
The secretary of war made serious and
very gratuitous mistake-not his first
when he constituted himself Eagan's
sponsor and champion as against the
major general commanding the army. 1t
was wholly unnecessary, and wholly I'M
wise. President Nc kinley now enjoys an
snviable popularity. He prizes 1t, with
care Of 1t. Sindbad the Sailor carried the
old man of the sea on his back for a
while, but he didn't do 1t voluntarily and
he freed himself as soon as he could.
The closing paragraph amounts to ad-
Woe to the President to unload Alger and
Eagan. A great many Republican papers
besides the Courant are giving the same
advice. the evidence that Alger and
Eagan were culpable in this beef business
is too strong now to be ignored or ex-
planned away. They must be unleaded
unless the Republican party is to be
hs,vily handicapped In the next national
oampsign.
