The list New York Scandal

Governor Roosevelt knows enough of tho
conditions which surrounded the fist root
ment OF New York volunteers during the
Santiago campaign to be warranted in tab
ing steps to secure a thorough fnyestiea-
uon or the conduct of that regiment The
aHalr has grown into a deplorable scandal
Whlch has more than a local interest The
charges which have been made against the
reSimental officers involve considerations ~
vital Importance to the National Guard in
terests throughout the country. 1t has
been asserted that in the charge on San
Juan Hill the list Regiment failed to ac-
quit Itself creditably. 1t is also charged
that many of the officers showed signs of
utter Generalization, that they sought
places of safety instead of leading their
men. and that the latter, being without
proper guidance. in some degree caught
the spirit of Generalization and refused to
advance when ordered to do so by general
officers who hurried to urge them into ac-
ton. 1t is not questioned that some of the
men went bravely forward and fought he
roically, having gone ahead when the regi-
ments stationed behind them pressed on

Mr.. Cleveland has never been happy in
what is called the lighter vein. He tried
his hand during his first term as President
or few veterans of the civil war, whose
claims upon the government for money
aid Congress had passed upon favorabIy.
In vetoinS the bills he took occasion to
ridicule the iuffrmities of the benefciaries
and thus 10 insult the patriotism Of the
people. 1t was a surprising and numbering
performance. the folly and heartlessness
of which shocked some of his own friends.
But ne yields to the spirit again. and this
time TAKES a shy at the whole country
Expansion is his theme, and Mr.. Cleve-
land is well satisfied that the policy COM
mits the government to a slaughter of those
To whose relief it has foolishly gone
The killing of natives has been a feature
of expansion since expansion began His
tory bears that out a general statement.
The natives of North America did not in
vite. but resisted. the expansion policy of
the whites. Many of them persisted in their
resistance. But expansion continued. Was
not that good thing? The whites are
now in full control Would Mr.. Cleveland
change it all? Would he restore the sur
NivOrs of the native chiefs to authority
and send the leaders of the whites to the
block? That is the course his great and
good friend Mrs. Dominis would adopt.
But if Mr.. Cleveland means to say that

rated by the war with Spain he travels

lean Intervention has put a stop to the kill
ing of natives by the Spaniards How
many lives have been saved in Cuba alone
by the appearance of the Americans in the
field cannot be stated with accuracy, but
the number is undoubtedly very large.
A more interesting question for Mr..
Cleveland is this: How many lives of the
natives of Cuba were sacrificed while he
held hands off and let General Weyler
proceed with his slaughter at pleasure?
What excuse does he now offer for ignoring
the representations of Cuban conditions
made to him by his own officials in Cuba,
and to the country through the agency of
reputable newspaper correspondents. and
accepting instead the lying statements of
Senior de LONE and his paid fiunkies2
What is his share in the responsibility for
all the horrors visited upon the reconcen-
trados? How does the record stand on that
question:

to the front. Some of the companies pre-
served their formation and did good work.
But the regiment a whole, according to
the accounts of eye-witnesses, was deplor-
ably deficient. Ever since the members re-
sumed their routine of city life the armory
has rung with the accusations of privates
and officers Courts-martial have been
held and the differences in the regiment
have come at times dangerously near the
point of fisticuffs Now Governor Roose-
welt wants this thing stopped. He knows
how demoralizng it is to have vague ana
unauthenticated charges banded about in
the public prints and from mouth to mouth,
and he has referred the matter to his adJu-
tant general, a former regular army omcer'
with instructions to get at the bottom FACTS
and bring the whole scandal to focus.

Not a Time to Filibuster.
From tie Boston Herald.

Senator Caffery of Louisiana, who is re-
Sarded as the leader of the democratic op-
Posltloh 10 expansion in the Senate, says
that the treaty with Spain will not be rati-
ned at this session. He does not claim that
ITS ratlhcation by the Senate of the Fifty
sixth Congress can be prevented, but he
beheVes mat the present Senate will give
II the cold shoulder. We do not know
whether Mr.. Caffery proposes to use OBJ
structiVe tactics. 1t was reported some
weeks ago that he had threatened to have
resort to them If necessary, but should
suppose that senator of Mr.. Caffery's cal
lber would shrink from the responsibility
OF blocking peace treaty by unfair means
In view of the brief time that remains of
the short session. and the advantage which
the Senate rules give to Instructors it is
possible that filibustering against the treaty
might be successful, but surely Senator
Caffery ought not to stoop to INSCRIPTIONS

Time Clocks.

The clerks of the Treasury Department
are doubtless rejoicing over the prospect
that the time clocks which have been
such an irritating factor in their official life
during the past few months will be abol-
ished according to the provisions of the
legislative appropriation bill as reported to
the House yesterday. These devices for
keeping tab on the goings and comings
of the clerks have aroused great indigna-
ton among them. Some of them have
claimed that the clocks have placed them
on the basis of laborers in ship-yards.
Others have based their objections upon
the ground that they are not treated equt-
ably, receiving no credit for overtime
spent at their desks while their little late
nesses have been vigorously deducted from
their records. Others still have looked at
the matter from financial point of view
asserting that the money which might have
been saved to the government by the use
of these clocks has been far more than
counterbaianced by the initial cost of the
machines themselves and by the cost of the
clerical labor of computing the time records
thus obtained. The system, however has
been strenuously defended by some of the
officials of the department, who have
claimed that, despite the petty annoyances
to which the clerks have been subjected
they have been made more punctual in
their attendance at their desks and have
been stimulated to more regular methods of
work Yet other heads of bureaus and di-
visions have Joined with the clerks in pro-
testing that the clocks have been more of a
nuisance than a help.
AS to the matter of deducting from the
annual leave the time lost in late arriving
OF IN occasional absences from the building
1t is to be recalled that the leave while in
theory only a sratuity, has come to be re-
garded as part of the clerks emoluments
1t being assumed that in all ordinary cir
cumstances the government when hiring A
clerk. engages to pay him a twelve-months'
salary for eleven months of work Yet the
theory Of gratuity is strengthened by the
TACT that the government on occasions
takes advantage of its right to deny the
annual leave, such as the emergency which
arose curing the war period, when clerks
We're kept at their desks in some depart
ihehtS throughout the summer without va
cations. Nor does the government strictly
observe the traditional hours of empIov
ment, for in rushes of work orders are fire.
quently given for clerks to remain at their
desks over time, for which they receive no
additional pay. Despite these facts how

1t will be really serious thing to vote
against treaty of peace. Writers of his

conclusions and We believe that those SEN
ators who vote against the treaty of Paris
may find themselves in a minority as dis
agreeable it is conspicuous. This is not
denying that there are two sides to the
question of retaining sovereignty in the

patriotic to bid state of war to return
