would insist upon having that also thrown
open to the wolves of the impending Ohio
and other campaigns. II the Printing Oh
fee had been taken out of the classified
service hundreds of hard working people
would have been discharged and would
have lost the humble Washington homes
for which they are paying out of their
wages, and the effect would have been bad
on local labor and business.
Mr.. Mckinley has avoided that rock,
but has been careful to indemnify his
political friends for the concession by
taking out of classification as many Of the
principal prizes of the public service as
possible. Positions like that of Superin-
tendant of the Hct Springs Reservation,
Interior Department coal inspectors, spe-
cial agents, agents for the allotment of
lands 10 Indians. Indian agents, examiners
of Indian timber lands, commissioners to
negotiate with Indian tribes, and so on
down through the list of the departments
a multitude of places that ought TO be
the reward of efficient service in lesser
stewardships, and intrinsically demand
technical training and more than common
ability. are put in shape to be ultimately
peddled out to the small fry whose only
claim to consideration and appointment
will be ability to cast or control neces-
sary vote or move in some party conven-
tion.
That is the plain and undeniable purpose
of the retrogression, whatever its osten-
sible cause or occasion may be declared
1t does not and never will delude any sane
American person. Those who are inter-
ested in a general return to the corrupt
political methods of the preceding genera
ton will hail it with glee as harbinger
of more of the same sort to come, when
the Presidential canvass shall grow hot
next year. The remainder of the people
will view it with regret and aversion.

LIEUTENANT FRENcH,s DEATH.
The Report of Major Mallory on II
Scouting Expedition.

In report made public yesterday by the
War Department. Major John S. Mallory,
Inspector General of the Second Division
Of the Eighth Army Corps, gives an in
teresting description of the operations of
accommodating party under his command
in the vicinity of Calooean, LpEon. The
party consisted of two officers, First Lieut..
W. ]. Bradshaw and Second Lieut.. E. S.
French. and forty-six enlisted men. After
advancing some distance Major Mallory
left Lieutenant French with a guard for
the train and pushed on with Lieutenant
Bradshaw and several troopers. He says:
LAS we entered the timber skirting the
series of dykes, ponds, and marshes inter-
vening between us and the Caloocan road,
the insurgents opened hot fire from the
timber south and from the dykes and the
bridge southwest of US. Lieutenant Bad
shaw. with half of the company. moved By
the right flank across a bamboo foot bridge
and, partially screened by dyke, engaged
at short range the insurgents, who were
similarly sheltered by dykes. one insurgent
being killed and others severely wounded
within forty PAGES, and one of our men a.so
wounded.
Il moved the rest of the company in ex-
tended order through the timber in our
front, and in face of hot fire drove the
insurgents from their shelter in the timber
and from behind nipa huts across the dykes
to the positions of the main body at the
car shed and stone bridge. Soon the near
approach of Major Goodales troops was
evident, and when the insurgents began TO
flee and expose themselves fire was opened.
on them from our flank, enfilading them
and preventing their escape across the
dykes, while Lieutenant Bradshaw in their
rear prevented their escape by the Caloo-
can road.
''At this juncture Lieutenant French,
seeing a number of natives who were way
ing their hats and apparently making signs
that they wished to surrender. stood up
and called to them to come over to them
and they would be safe. using some Span
ish phrases as well as English, so that he
might be understood and at the same time
our men ceased firing.
While Lieutenant French was still call
ing and making signs a shot, fired appar-
emily from a hut near the group that he
was trying to save, struck him in the
chest, and falling to the ground he expired
almost instantly. When killed he was
about twenty yards to the left and front
of the company at a point where he had
stationed a few men in the best position
to observe the enemy. His body was car
ried to the train on an improvised litter
and sent to the city.
Having effected junction with Major
Goodale's advance, | withdrew the com
pany to its original position in the
| trenches, as directed by the division COM
mander. Lieutenant French throughout
the day showed great cooness and bravery
and lost his life while attempting to save
the lives of others"

ercises. He will go direct to Holyoke.

gressman William Whiting. who was in

a warm friendship was formed between
them He will arrive in Holyoke on Mon
day. June 49, and the day following will
attend the exercises at Mount HolyOke.
The next day. Tuesday. the President will
visit this city, taking a drive and holding
a public reception. In a conversation Sat
urday with Congressman f. II. Gillett,

GENERAL WHEELER IN BOSTON
A Violent FInunt of the Bloody Shirt

Boston, May 29.-Fighting Joe Wheeler,

coming committee promised him. Last

Colonel Dammers attacked the selection of
General Wheeler as a Memorial Day ora

were those of a majority of the Command.
Colonel banners began by saying he had
nothing to apologize for, like certain rebel
generals. But as for the rebel generals. y
he said. ''how could they apologize? What
could they do, anyway, to atone for what
| they have done? The killing of our Union
| soldiers was not a thing they could atone
| for should they devote their lives to the
attempt What a mistake our dear, great
hearted President. Mr.. Mckinley, has made
in allowing a Confederate badge to be

have spurned it and said: Take bach

| States and cannot wear it.. 1t is outra-
| geous to have General Wheeler here on

such auspices. This changing of text books
and alterations of histories has gone toe

PLANS TO REMOVE FRICTION.
Revision of the RuIes I'm the Naval
Construction Bureaus.

The initial step to put an end to the de-
lays in the construction and repair Of war
vessels growing out of the friction in the
Board OF Construction was taken yesterday
by the Navy Department at a conference
between Assistant Secretary Allen and the
Chiefs OF the Bureaus OF Construction.
Steam Engineering. Ordnance. Equipment.
and Yards and Docks. Rear Admiral Fred
erick Rodgers. who is not connected with
any OF the bureaus. was also present in
the capacity OF an impartial adviser. The
plan proposed will. il adopted, be tenn
porary expedient to remain in force only
until Congress acts on the recommenda-
tion CT Secretary Long to consolidate the
Bureaus of Construction Steam Engineer
ing and Equipment under one head. The
Secretary recently lost patience over the
differences in the Board OF Construction.
and made known his determination to put
step to these official sguabbles.
The plan considered by Assistant Sec
retary Allen and the bureau chiefs yester-
day are particularly directed to the work
OF getting ships ready for service with the
least possible delay. The friction in the
construction board has come from con-
fiicting interests in the building OF vessels.
Each bureau represented on the board
wanted to get as many advantages as pos
sible in the plans for the construction
and repairing of every war5hip. and out OF
this grew controversies, which it is alleged.
delayed work on hulls, machinery. armor.
armament. and interior fittings, and caused
embarrassment to the department.

A pecuIinr Tnrim TangIc.

tween the two countries was negotiated.
An exception TO the arrangement is made

treaty with the United States was collect
ed. but the Auditor OF the Treasury De-
partment held up the item. claiming that
forty-five per cent. should have been col
lected This percentage is assessed under

which 1t is held that bronze statuary Is
classified as an "unenumerated manufac-

A SeIs-Evidcnt Fact.

(From the Baltimore IIeTald)
II is hard to fool the American people. Ad-
miral schley continues TO be a popular hero,
despite the preconcerted and shrewdly organ
lied movement TO rob him OF his well-won fame.
Wherever he goes the people crowd to see him
and receive him with unbounded enthusiasm.
When he appeared at Mansfield performance
recently in Denver he received more attention
than the famous histrionic star OF the evening.
At the end of every act the audience en-
masse and shook the raftcrs with their huzzas
for Schley. Finally lie was Obliged to rise in
his boz and make speech.
As VIC have intimated, the American people
are intelligent and discriminating, aud it is dii-
ficult to mislead them under any circumstances
As to the real winner of the brilliant victory at
Santiago they were not to be fooled. The naval
clique that set out to elevate Sampson at the
expense of Schley has been foiled in its IN
worthy purpose.
