SAYS Whitalaw Reid, discussing the
work of the Paris peace commission:
"The only complaint one hears about
it is that we did our duty too we'll
that in fact we made peace on terms
too favorable to our own country. In
all the pending discussion there seems
To be no other complaint. on no other
point is the treaty said by any one TO
be seriously defective" This COM
plant may influence few nervous fell
low-citizons hut it is not calculated to
make a deep impression upon the COM
mon sense Of the country. Mr.. Reid's
defence of the commissions work, Civ
en- in his speech before the Lotos club
of New York on Saturday evening, was
not necessary but it is interesting. For
example:
1T Loyalty carried out the attitude
of congress as to Cuba. 1t enforced the
renunciation of Spanish sovereignty
there, but, in spite of the most earnest
Spanish efforts, it refused TO accept
American sovereignty. 1t loaded neith-
cr ourselves nor the Cubans with the
sO-callcd cuban debts, incurred by
Spain in the efforts to subdue them. 1t
involved rs in no complications, either
in the West Indies or in the east, as TO
contracts or claims or religious estab-
lishmcnts. 1t dealt literally with q
fallen foe. giving him a generous lump
sum that more than covered any legiti-
mate debts or expenditures for pacific
Improvements; assuming the burden
Of just claims against him by our own
people; carrying back the armies sur
rendered on the other side of the world
at our own cost; returning their arms
even restoring them their artillery, in
cluding heavy ordnance in field fortiH-
cations, munitions of war and the very
cattle that dragged their caissons. II
secured alike for Cubans and Filipinos
the release Of political prisoners. 1t
scrupulously reserved for congress the
power of determining the political stat
us of the inhabitants of our new pos
sessions. 1t declared on behalf of the
most prOtectionist country in the world
for the policy of the open door within
the Asiatic sphere of it's influence.
With all this the senate and the
country seemed content. But the treaty
refused to return TO Spanish rule one
foot of territory over which that rule
had been broken by the triumphs OF
our arms. Were we to be reproached
for that? Should the senate have tolc
us, You overdid this business: you
looked after the interests Of your owl
country too thoroughly. You ought tC
have abandoned the great archipelago
which the fortunes of war had placed
at your countrys disposal. You ar,
not exactly unfaithful servants; yol
are too blindly, unswervingly faithful
You haven't seized an opportunity Il
run away from some distant results o
the war into which congress plunged
the country before dreaming how fa
it might spread. You haven't dodgeC

For City Controller.

Under the law the powers OF the clty
controller are almost absolute withih
the sphere of his duties. He is the
watch dog of the city treasury; not a
dollar of city funds can be paid out eX-
ccpt upon his Endorsement. While II
has not hitherto been the custom oil
controllers in this city to go far behind
the face Of the bills and vouchers SUD
mittcd for their examination, yet If the
controller should suspect crookedness
or extravaganza in a given direction his
authority would be ample to bring out
the facts and protect the city against
loss. The value of the office to the
community depends entirely upon the
character ability and experience of the
man in it,
The Republican party offers for this
position in the person of Fred j. Wld-
mayer a highly respected business man
who. in addition to his personal quail
tications, including shrewd good judg-
nent, unquestioned integrity and firm
ness of character, has the marked ad-
vantage Of practical familiarity with
the requirements bl llle OlNNt' Ahio
three years former term of service as
controller was in the nature of special
preparation. During that period the
administration of the municipal gov
ernment was on higher plane than it
has been since, and the need of vigil
ance in the controllers Office was not
so marked, yet there was not mo-
ment that Mr.. Widmayer did not keep
his eyes open. He made sure of every
item of expenditure that he approved
and no kind of outside influence could
swerve him q hairs breadth.
The condition of the city government
at this time will make extraordinary
demand upon the next controller. If
the abuses under which the city stag
gers are to be corrected and virtual
bankruptcy avertod, there must be at
the safety valve during the next three
years a man Of clear mind, ripe expert
ence and innaXible back bone. Such 2
man is Fred ]. Widmayer.

RESPONSIBILITY.

From Whitclaw Reld's Speech at the
Lotos Club Dinner.
was not one of those who were eager
to begin this war with Spain; but | pro-
test against any attempt to evade our
just responsibility in the position in which
it has left us. We shall have trouble in
the Philippines. So we shall have trouble
in Cuba and in Porto Rico. If we dawdle,
and hesitate, and lead them to think we
fear them and fear trouble, our trouble
will be great. If on the other hand we
grasp this nettle danger, if we act
promptly, with ineSorabe vigor, and with
justice. it may be slight. But the graver
the crisis the palmer our duty. God give
US courage to purify our politics and
strengthen our government to meet these
new and grave duties.

A Battle Royal.

Persons familiar with such matters
say the court of inquiry called to in
vestigate the embalmed beef scandal
will be in session for several months.
SO much the better if that time shall
be required to get to the bottom Of this
case. Thoroughness is far preferable
to haste. The country demands and
the professional honor of the eminent
soldiers constituting this respected tri-
bunal requires the development of all
the facts.
The civilian commission of inquiry
which has just concluded it's labors had
no standing in military circles because
it was not provided for by law and did
not have power to enforce it's alleged
jurisdiction. But the court Of inquiry
created by the president on Feb. is
a body which every soldier is bound to
respect. 1t is regular and lawful and
it has plenary powers. There is no
secret Of camp or battle line which it
cannot probe and conquer if it will. In

full in each calling, finally landing in

Failure to provide place in the line
OF the Garcia funeral cortege for the
Cuban guard of honor and the escort
of Cuban troops has caused an es-
tranged feeling to prevail in Havana
between the Americans and the ma
tives. Many of the best Cubans have
taken serious umbrage at this affront
and it is difficult to blame them. Cen
eral Garcia was the greatest Cuban of
his time; his funeral was peculiarly
a Cuban ceremony and General Brooke
had no moral right TO monopolize the
occasion for a spectacular display Of
American military force. One or two
more mistakes of this kind will destroy
his usefulness in Cuba and necessitate
the selection in his stead of a man of
tact and talent, like General Wilson
or General Wood.
