The nomination of John r. Mclean for
governor by the democrats of Ohio was
fcregone conclusion 1t was accomplished
By the narrOwest of margins on the first
ballot but had a second ballot been neCes-
sary he would have had votes to spare.
The party machinery was in his hands
ard very expert hands they are-he was
on the ground in person and most DESTROYS
Of success. and success followed in the very
nature Of things. This player with all of
the picture cards corraIle.1 cannot be pre-
vented from euchering the other fellows.
Mr. Mclean simply played his hand and
took all the tricks
The platform adopted is one of those
Gragnet de,iveTanceS to which the country
is becoming both accustomed and reconcil-
ed. 1t bids for the support of everybody.
and bids boldly. \ clear-cut and straight
forward declaration as to silver is the prin-
cipal plank. and supporting it are planks
of various degrees of relevancy and irreie-
vancy to existing conditions. Populism is
C0ddIed with a reference to the initiative
and referendum. The spook of an Anglo
American alliance is dangled before the
voters of German birth. and an effort is
made to cut the ground from under Mayor
Jones OF Toledo by demanding 1.-The pass
age of the eight-hour labor law. the more
rigid inspection of mines and workshops, the
prohibition of swestshops and the abolition
of the contract system of prison labor"
The plank in denunciation of political
bosses borders, in the circumstances, peril
ously close on open wasgery.
OF the strength OF the ticket nominated
il is too soon TO speak. The ticket is. of
course, Mr.. Mclean. and he Possesses some
elements of strength. Whatever large
means, organizing capacity and tireless in
Custry, guided by intense ambition, may be
expected to accomplish will at least be at
tempted in Mr. McLean's behalf. On the
other hand there old feudS, original
and inherited, to be reckoned with, and
also the fact that the candidate repro
SCENTS that absentee leadership which
in our affairs has been likenesi in its IN
toward tendency TO the absentee landlord
ship in Irish affairs.
Personally Mr. Mclean, while not of
hearty address, is democratic and ap-
proachahle, and Il good talker though
rct speaker. His wife is a daughter Of
the late General Beale, in his day useful
and distinguished man. and a staunch
friend OF General Grant.

Second to The stars Suggestion.

From the Wheeling CW. Va Intelligenccr.
1t is wisely suggested by an eastern con-
te1nporary-an Independent paper POLITICAL
ly the Washington Star-that the anti
fmperialistS, or anti-expansionists, should
have a more appropriate title for their or
ganization. one which would suggest its
real purpose. The suggestion grows out of
the fact that in 1896, the Kentucky demo-
Gratis gave to the Palmer and Buckner gold
democratic organization in that state the
title of the Mckinley Aid Society" The
reason was that they held the organization
had for it's real object the aid of the repub-
lican cause, and associated 1T in the
name. Even now in Kentucky anti-Goebel
democrats are designated as the Taylor
Aid Society"
What The Star wants to know is If we
have not a pointer as to the proper name
for the new national party of Atkinson
Boutwell, and others. The suggestion is
1.-The Aguinaldo Aid Society" Anti-Expan-
sion League does not seem to fit, for it is
too late to stop expansion. and anti-imperi-
alism isn't appropriate. AS Aguinaldo is
the person whom the gentlemen Of the or
ganization regard the real patriot, and
their object is to aid him, why not use his
name?
We heartily second this suggestion Moth
ing better or more appropriate and sug-
sestive could be conjured

CriticisinE the LuzOn CampniEn,

From the New York Journal Of Commerce
1t is difficult to what good purpose
can be served by the incessant flow Of
carping criticism that is kept up. in quar-
tiers from which one might expect better
things, in regard to affairs in the Philip
pines Whatever honest differences of
opinion there may be in regard to the
character of the responsibilities which the
government of the United States has as
sumed there, it might be supposed possible
to have a common agreement as to the
absolute necessity of finishing the task
which has been undertaken In common
with what there is every reason to believe
to be the judgment of a large majority of
the people Of the United States we rega I'd
that task as having been imposed on this
people no less in the interest Of civilization
than In that of their own national develop
ment. AT no point of the process which
began with the destruction of the Spanish
fleet in the harbor of Manila, could this
government have safely honorably re-
treated from the work Of restoring order
and giving some settled form of rule to the
Philippines. If there was such a point the
opponents of the policy which. too tardily
perhaps. but certainly inevitably, was
adopted by the administration, have failed
to point it out

MilitarisIn.
From the Kansas City Star.

Militarism Is word with an impressive
sound. 1t has become popular and there
are persons who have used it so often that
they believe the United States is really
and truly threatened by it. They see the
people trodden under foot by the iron foot
of an arrogant and cruel military CASTE
There is mlitarism in all countries which
have conscript armies but there is none
In England and there never was and never
will be any in the United States. In 1866
66 the United States had one million SOL
diers under arms. No militarism came of
this enormous army-far vaster than any
European standing army Of today. If an
army of one million men. among a pOpula-
ton of 20.000.O0O. did not produce mill
tarism. how can an army Of 100000 among
49, 900 ride roughshod over the people?

Reduced Railroad Freight Rates.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser

II 10 not many years ago that farmers In
the west were compelled to burn corn for
fuel. Railroad freight rates were high
that there was no profit in sending the crop
to market and corn was used as a substi-
tute for wood and coal. This season the
farmers OF Kansas have the largest corn
crop in the history of that state. and. in
spite of the low price of corn, compared
with twenty years ago. every bushel of the
crop Will be marketed that the growers see
fit to spare. Reduced freight rates have
made this possible. and, as has been expert
enced before. the railroad companies as
well as the farmers will profit as the result.

of persecution. limiting at a parallel De-
tween this case and that of Captain Drey-
fus in France The general opinion OF the
people. as far as the case is understood,
seems 10 be that the officer is guilty. Yet
his friends and counsel assert that not only
cd his administration at Savannah involve
the government in no loss whatever. but
that the work there was exceptionally well
done. the gov eminent being benefited by
saving in the cost of at least one million
dollars while one engineer officer declares
that he is even now openly and confidently
pursuing the methods which are alleged to
have been adopted by the accused at
Savannah to accomplish embezzlement.
The record in this case is now SO vo.umi-
nous that the task of review is reported to
he gigantic. 1t is asserted on behalf OF the
administration that the delay in final ac-
ton has been inevitable in view of the size
of the matter and that the time consumed
has been directed at thorough mastery OF
the case which will permit a confident
prosecution of civilians who are implicated
in the alleged crime. Critics of the adj
ministration on the other hand charge that
the delay is due to a desire to permit the
statute of limitations to run against these
other persons
So serious is the crime charged. so direct
are the assertions rejecting upon the gov
eminent. so impatient is the public for
definite action, that it would seem wise for
the administration to reach decision with
out any unnecessary delay and to make
public an absolutely clear statement of the
case and the causes of the action taken.

Mr.. Darwin once wrote a book, which
many readers pronounced as interest
ing as a novel, on earthworms and the
wonderful way in which they pillow up,
turn over and invigorate the soil. In
recent address, DR.. l.. o. Howard Of
Washington showed that many species
of insects are also important agents in
soil-making. They are found beneath
the ground, he says, in surprising
numbers, and they penetrate to a SUR
prislng depth. "The minute insects Of
the family Poduridea-which are wing
less-have been found swarming liter
ally by the million at depth of six to
eight feet in stiff clay subsoil."
