without Parallel In History.

tEIOHl 0ldiiA hdPtuS tltEdlu)
The return of the Confederate battle
flags to their original owners by those
who captured them during the Civil War
and the complete harmony which now pre-
walls between the North and the South
presents a condition of affairs that has
no parallel in the history of the world.
That men who were once such bitter enc
mics should now meet again in perfect
concord, should fight together against a
foreign foe, and should most of all ex-
change the trophies of conquest is incom-
prehensible TO the nations of Europe,
whose feuds are religiously handed down
through the centuries. France still nour-
ishes her hatred for Germany, word
would set the Papal party and the Carl
baldians of Italy at each others throats,
while in Spain the Carlist cause which had
its origin more than fifty years ago, is
still thorn in the side of the reigning
dynasty. But such conditions are impos-
sible in the United States In this coun-
try the clan system. which makes so much
of European patriotism local instead of
national, has never existed. We are es-
sentially one nation and while no war was
ever waged more determinedly or with
more bitter feeling than the Civil War,
the final triumph of the Union arms set
tied il forever.

The rnrnI Conspiracy.

(From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.)
As Dewey sets the situation, the revolt is the
work OF a band of educated native cOnspiratcTs,
who thought they saw an opportunity to seize
the government of all the islands, regardless OF
the result of the negotiations between the United
States and Spain, the principals in the case. anil
the only ones, according to all international
precedent The ''latsr Washington and the
national uprising vanish when these facts are
considered. 1t is distinctly the opinion of Dewey
that the Filipinos at present are not qualified
for sali-goyernment The plotting lawyers in

thing that weuld have retained what worst
in Spanish rule and added TO it the anarchy that
irresponsible usurpers always create. The United
States does not know the names Of these
eonspirators, but it is not material Their

OTIS ana the Censorship.

(From the Philadelphia Times)
IT is given out at the War Department that the
censorship of the press dispatches from Manila
was removed, by order, some weeks age. This
probably accounts for the evident fact that the
war has not been going as we'll as formerly
During the censorship. Otis driving the rebels
into the last ditch. Since the censorship was re-
moved, we have heard of the rebels pressing Otis
uncomfortably close. One of the latest dispatches
reports them as just repulsed from the entrench-
ments about Cavite. the very first place occupied
by an American force.
1t is true that fighting is still in progress also
at points further inland, many Of which are famil-
lar from having been fought over and carried
by our troops once or twice before. But there is
nothing in any of the recent dispatches to indi-
cate any really decisive progress such as was
frequently utimated when all the news was filter
ed through official channels

cruisers, and torpedo boats is being rapid

his monthly report, states that the battle

The Kentucky is within Z per cent, the

be secured the three battleships should be

January. The cruiser Albany, building In
England, is within So per cent of compile

A New Cabinet Member.
(From the Chicago Ohronicle.l

Once more the proposition for another Cabinet
officer-a secretary OF commerce-comes up, and
as the advocates of the plan persistent they
NAV carry their point. But if they do it GER
tainly will be time to stop increasing the num-
ber of portfolios. The Cabinet is large enough
already The creation of departments means
additional expense, though it likewise means more
places for iack-leg politicans-an inducement not
10 be disregarded in our enlightened Republic
The department of commerce should be the last
creation, though the BARRIERS and hricklayers, the
tsilors and tinkers the butchers and bakers are
likely to demand representation likewise, and as
matter OF justice they will be entitled to it. Ii

The Dewey scare appears to have struck

The Dewey scare appears TO have struck
the Administration, and struck it hard!
The suspicion is growing that Proctor.
the personally conducted original Dewey
man, is grooming the Admiral for the
Presidency, and therefore Proctor is
being watched with more interest than
admiration, and Hanna is taking medi-
cine for cold perspirations. Adher-
ents of Mr.. Mckinley admit that, il
Mr. John R. Mclean should happen to
capture Ohio next month. there would be
serious probability that the Republican
banner next year might be blue pennant
with four stars. The moral of this tale
is that the present man should mend his
ways, purge himself of Otisism, Sampson
ism. and Hannaism. and be outwardly as
good as he feels himself to be inwardly.
We think that even Griggs and Long will
agree to this proposition.
The times., 1899-10-12

Mr.. Hanna is tearfulIy insistent that the
President should be sustained in his own
State this year. The great manipulation
seems to ignore fact which the Buckeye
voters may not overlook. 1t is that a
vote for the Republican ticket, while as
suredly vote to sustain Mr.. Mckinley,
is also vote to sustain Otis and Denby,
and all the corruption, thievery, and trea-
son in Manila; Sampson and the contempti-
bic conspiracy against the victor of San
tiago; and a lot of cognate things. On
the other hand, vote for Mclean will
assist in rebuking Hanna and the Adminis-
tration for these evils and abuses, and will
greatly help to make Admiral Dewey the
party candidate in 1900. Voters are not
all fools, and some of them, even in Ohio,
are not purchasable. If they were, there
would be no uneasiness at the headquar-
ters of Marcus the Manipulation.

Those lost are two Mcnamara broth

from has not been ascertained.
The McNamaras referred to in the

brothers Jack and Mike had several
good claims, Mike arriving t.Sre last
