without its aid the Kaiser can do prac-
volve peace or war.
Indeed, the Kaiser is practically help
less in respect even to the matters that
relate to the equipment of war forces in
peace times-few of us have forgotten
how desperate the struggle has bean,
in very recent times, in the German
parliament. In the Kaiser's effort to get
increased appropriations for the mill
tary and naval establishments. The
Kaiser himself was quite as helpless
as our own president was in the effort,
this year, to commit the congress of the
United States to vote a large, perma-
nent standing army.
When it comes to the proposition that
the sovereign in Germany would be "di-
vesting himself of part of his sover-
course at a critical time"--that alleged
sovereignty is all moonshine. However,
If it is properly exploited, this myth
about divine rights sovereignty can
give new and unexpected turn to the
attitude of a good many of the dele
gates in the congress at The Hague. DIR.
Zorn's talk didn't impress Sir Julian
Pauncefote as being of much account;
the cable dispatches reported the En-
glishman as saying that the German
objections showed view which many
consider not altogether modern" But,
ion, DR.. zorn could rally among the
delegates from the continent a good
force that is ready to defend divine
right, however well they know that the
thing is an arrant humbug.

account.

~HE frequent references to Haupt,
In current newspaper para
graphs, are probably a little
confusing to those who never heard
the first part of the Haupt story. 1t
Is true that by the utterance of one
snort sentence this gentleman put in
peril ten-thousand- dollar salary. 1t
came about in this way: Lewis NJ
Haupt, civil engineer residing in
Philadelphia, is member of the Mic
argua canal commission. He served
on the former canal commission known
as the Walker commission
The other day Haupt said in so many
words that the appointment of the new
commission is simply another game
OF procrastination." 1t is supposed
that for this remark Mr. Haupt is to
be called to account-the expectation
is that he will be removed from the
commission. Yet what Mr. Haupt said
fits the facts precisely.
In its closing hours the Fifty-fourth
which was instructed to gather infor-
nation which was alleged to be
wanted in order that congress might
know all the facts before voting mill
lions of canal money That commits
sion reported. Late in it's career the
last congress voted another commits
sion, the theory being that there was
still lack of information in regard to
the possible cost of the proposed canal.
In fact congress has trified with this
question for more than twenty years,
and this happens because the invisible
influences are at work that propose
to unload on this country the worse
than worthless Panama canal. The
desperate effort is to sell Frances IA
nous scandal to the United States.
Mr.. Haupt is all right. The game
is one of procrastinaton. 1t is high
priced-the commissions of themselves
cost a great deal of money. But that
does not change the fact that Mr..
Haupt's frankness is liable to result
in the transfer of his job to somebody
who will take a commissioners salary
and keep still.

At San Fernando.

u T the break of day. yesterday,
i fighting with the Filipinos be-
gan, and in the victory for our
side the Montana regiment had a gem
erous share. Best of all, the testimony
of this mornings special dispatch to
the Standard is to the effect that, while
the First Montana had a conspicuous
part in the engagement the regiment
sustains no losses, as thus far reported
The Montana soldiers were a part of
General MaoArthur's command and
were stationed at or near SanFernando
that place has already become known
TO the Montana public because of for
mer military operations there in which
the boys from Montana took a highly
creditable part.
1t transpires that the Filipinos had
planned sort of surprise. They ap-
peared in large force; they got alto
gether the worst of 1t in the battle
which they seem to have planned pretty
carefully but in which they executed
their part in their usual miserably-bad
form. 1t was complete success for
the American troops.
In all probability this engagement
will be about the last Of the lighting for
the Montana volunteers. Correspond
ence addressed to Governor Smith and
recited in one of this mornings special
dispatches is to the effect that at Ma
nila the transports are at hand the
preparations for shipping the troops
ready and the day not distant when the
members of the First Montana will en-
bark for home, to be mustered out.
This news comes from official sources.
1t furnishes, apparently, full warrant
for the prediction that the days will
not be many that must intervene be-
fore this states volunteers are home
again.

Get to Business.

& PEAKING the speech of the ad-
~ ministration, the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat is one of the
to apologize for the course which the
administration finds itself compelled to
pursue.
This st. Louis organ would have us
bear in mind that the fact that
more men are wanted for the army in
the Philippines than Were thougnt to
be necessary few months ago Gees
not mean that the campaign thus far
has been failure. 1t means that the
president is determined that not only
shall the resistance by future Aguin-
aldos re averted, but that all guerilla
disturbances shall be prevented. 1t
will be very easy to suppress the PRES
ent Aguinaldo. The determination of
the government is to render all Aguin-
aldos of five, ten or fifty years hence
impossible"
We'll, that's all smooth and nice. 1t
appears now that there are other
ASulnaldos to conquer This coun-
IL,
but the assertion in behalf of the adj
mlnlstfauon hitherto has been that
there was one own and only Aguin-
aldo and that when once We have him
We have the whole works. We now
are told by administration people that
there are some other Aguinaldos. All
right, whip 'em all; clean out every
last Aguinaldo in the whole Filipino
aggregation. 1T will be very easy
to suppress the present Aguinaldo"-
so the Globe-Democrat assures us. Not
so mighty easy, either, as appears IN
to the present time. II they all come
our way as hard as Aguinaldo num-
Der one comes, it's a good bit of war
we have ahead of us; if the stock of
Aguinaldos is very large. We haven't
whipped the first one yet-and the ad-

The Newest Thing.

n IANY of the newspapers are get
MI ting funny paragraphs out of
the recent discovery of Polish
engineer whose name is Rychnowski.
That is an odd name, but 1t isn't half
so odd as the invention is that car
ries European patents, issued in the
inventors name.
Professor Rychnowski, so they all
say, has invented what Is called an
"electroide,'' the curious property of
which is that it can "revolutionize the
atmosphere and bring about such a
object placed on disk in front of the
machine which generates the newly-dis-
covered force loses the power to move
and cannot stir until it is liberated by
the operator with the turn of screw"
One description of this invention adds
that the operation of the force can be
so inverted that "a doll or wooden
Indian acquires power of locomotion
and action"
1t is fact that, in many instances
thot nave lalGly COEllS " Lie
attention, this discovery Is seriously
talked about. In this way for instance:
The most important operation of the
new force, as claimed by Professor
Rychnowski, lies in the possibility of
its being directed from a high eminence,
after the manner of a searchlight. over
troops engaged in battle, when by turn
ing screw on the machine the fighters
instantly lose power of locomotion,
without any danger of being killed"
OF course, the men who write para
graphs for the newspapers have not
failed to direct attention to the fact
that, in and of itself, this invention
given to the world by Professor Rych-
nowski is whole permanent peace
tribunal of which the wise heads at
The Hague ought instantly to take
account.

testimony of ten months Of history that
to suppress" him is as easy as rolling
off a log. Moreover" says the Globe
Democrat:
A larger army in the Philippines means
quicker work and smaller loss of life
The rebellion will be crushed sooner and
it will stay crushed. Capitals or any 9TH
err sort of towns held by the Filipinos can
be captured at any time. 1t is never diff
ticult for the American troops to drive
any number of the Filipinos out of any
point which they hold. In the future
however, something more than this will
be done. The town which is captured will
be garrisoned and held. This necessarily
requires a somewhat larger force than
would be necessary for merely whipping
the Filipinos. Under the new plan, when
they are whipped they will remain whip
ped.
Late in the day, tediously late, the
administration is reluctantly admit
ting that, after all, they are not trait
ors who foretold that the Philippine
service would require thousands more
of soldiers than the president believed
to be needed. Stop making excuses and
get on a fighting footing! The admin
istration committed this country to a
policy 1t is mistaken policy, and it
Is losing more and more in popular
approval as the campaign drags. But
it is bound to go to it's finish now;
there is no other open course. There

dent properly equip the military es-
Establishment at Manila, with which We
have undertaken the conquest Of the

THREE GIVEN HEARINGS.
Merchants Who Sold Adulterated
Food Before Alderman Millar.
Two of Them Were Fined.

The cases of three of the merchants
charged with selling adulterated food
were heard before Alderman Millar
yesterday morning The cases of the
other three were adjourned until Aug.
Il.
Those who appeared before the alder
man yesterday were J. d. StoCker and
son, Mrs. Thomas Rich and Patrick
Kane, all of Jcrmyn. Prof. Albert
Wcllcs testified that he made chemi-
cal analysis of the food taken from
the various stores. In cream Of tar
tar taken from the stores of Mrs. Rich
aud Kane he found gypsum, a cheap
adulterant. A bottle of ketChup from
Mrs. RiCh's stock contained salicylic
acid for preserving and a coal tar de-
rivative for coloring.
Vanilla extract taken from the stock
er stock was found to be the extract
somewhat similar to the vanilla bean.
Mrs. Rich and Kane offered no de-
fense except that they bought and
sold the goods under the impression
that they were pure. The StoCkers,
however, claimed that when they learn
ed the quality of the vanilla in their
store was not good, they expressed
their Willingness to destroy IT, but We're
instead arrested.
The alderman fined Mrs. Rich 500
and Kane $50, giving them until Aug. II
to pay the amount. Decision was re-
served in the Stocker case.

The Smith Case Again.

Another effort was made yesterday
by Attorney Cornelius Smith to secure
an injunction to restrain the Scranton
Gas ana Water company from shut
ting the water off from the properties
of his wife, Mrs. Margaret A. Smith
The properties in question are located
on Adams, jefferson ana Monroe ave-
nues.
Attorney Smith filed a petition in
which he set forth that there is dis
pute between the water company and
Mrs. Smith concerning the amount OF
for her properties. The water COM
pany claims S2,767 80, but this is alleged
to be excessive and il is further con-
tended that more than One-half of il
is barred by the statute of limitations.
The petition asks that an issue be
framed to determine the amount of
money due the company aud pending
the disposition of this action that the
court restrain the water company from
cutting off the supply of water. In
consequence of shutting of the water
four tenants have left the building and
the owner has sustained a loss Of over
$50 per month.
Judge Gunstcr, to whom the petition
was presented, refused to grant the
Injunction, but made an order allowing
the application for an issue to be re-
newed.
