Atkinson to the survivors.

Edward Atkinson, acting for the Schurz-
Williams -Hoar- Cleveland antf-expansion-
lists, has broken out in a new spot. He Is
now engaged in sending circulars to the
survivors of the volunteer regiments re-
turned from Manila He asks them for
their opinions of the war; which he prom
ises to publish whether they agree with
those of the cabal he represents or not. It
may be remarked that, with each circular,
he forwards his soul-stirring tracts, THE
Cost of National Crime 1.-The He'll of
War and It's Penalties" and Criminal Ag
gression; by Whom Committed. as a prize
package.
When Atkinson and his kind were
preaching mutiny to our troops in the
Philippines the Administration thought it
necessary to close the mails to such litera-
ture as the 'anti-imperiaiist'' junta in Bos-
ton were sending out. 1t was not con-
sidered worth while to stop the dissemina-
tion of similar matter within the United
States. If the monographs and essays
which were forbidden transmission to Ma
Mia were really reasonable or seditious,
they should have been held up here as well
as elsewhere
That they were not and now cannot well
be, will be a source of regret to our Re
publican authorities, because Atkinson has
cleverly taken advantage of a situation en-
tirely due to Administration laundering, to
start his propaganda among the homing
troops. They are not anti-expansionists,
or at least they were not when they started
from Manila But with no exception Of
which We have heard they are all anti
Otis men, and deeply angered at the, way
the fighting in the Far East has been mis-
managed.
Men who swear that they were kept in
the reeking trenches night and day, under
fire, for months, while favorite troops Of
the commanding general did nothing but
duty around the palace or in the streets OF
Manila! Men who declare that they were
repeatedly ordered to retreat in the mo-
ment of victory, or to surrender to the
enemy towns taken with wounds and loss
of lifei They form fit soil in which to
plant the venom OF the Schurzes, Hoars,
Atkinsons, and late Grover Clevelands!
No one. at least outside of official circles
doubts the stories the volunteers bring
home. II they be true, it is the immediate
duty of the Administration TO remedy the
evils of which they complain What they
had to suffer through headquarters inca
pacity or Indifference, their comrades in
the field are suffering now. Atkinson has
hit the line of least resistance at last, and
shrewdly. 1t remains to President McKin
ley and Secretary Root to spike his guns
by admitting the foolishness of the past
and removing Otis without another day.

MRS. M,KrN1EY IMPROVES.
DE- HfNey Is Very Sansuine Over
HerACondition.

Hotel ChamHainl N. Y, Aug. 1.-TWO
weeks ago last Thursday morning President
and Mrs. Mckinley arrived at Hotel Cham
plain. the former seeking rest and the latter
health. Both have found what they were
seeking The President has been absolute
iy free from official cares, excepting his
conference with Secretary Root OF course
he has kept in touch with all Washington
matters and performed such acts as re-
CURED immediate attention, but generally
speaking ne has been as free as any private
citizen. His desire to be free from callers
has been complied WITH seeing only those
whom he chose. There has been no influx
OF visitors on the Presidents account, and
ne has been treated as any other citizen
might. This has pleased the President
very much and he shows the good effects
in most marked manner
To Mrs. Mckinley the stay has been one
of prolonged delight. The days have been
charming and the nights cool and peace
fui. She has slept well and ate we'll, and
altogether is very much improved, being
able to take long drives in and about the
hotel grounds. Her physician, DR.. Rixey,
is exceedingly -sanguine over her condition
and does not hesitate to say so. Vice
President Hobart continues to improve in
health. He appears frequently in the hotel
rotunda with Mrs. Hobart, and is always
surrounded by group of friends.
Great preparations are being made for the
reception to the President at the Catholic
Summer School next Tuesday. Among the
summer school guests other than the Church
dignitaries who will welcome him are
Judge Maurice J. Powers. of New York;
Edward L. Hearn. of Boston; Hon. j. b
Riley, former Consul to Ottawa and ]. L.
Baaren, whom the President recently ap-
pointed District Attorney for the State OF
Delaware.
The Presidents callers today were Gen.
l.. II. Carpenter, OF the Fifth United States
Cavalry, who has just arrived from Cuba,
and Mrs. Nagle President of the Alum
nae Association of st. Vincents-on-the-
Hudson. Owing TO the fact that the weather
looked threatening this evening the Presi-
dent and Vice President did not attend the
golf match which was won by the Aper-
sand team.

An Ameriean's Duty.

(From the st. Paul Dispatch.)
The least that any American can do is to stand
up for his country wherever he is glorying in its
republican institutions and its freedom from Old
World iogyisms and inequalities. We can have
no feeling but respect for the foreigner who
comes to this country with the hope OF better
ing himself and enjoying a larger liberty, but
we feel only contempt for the rich American
