He Is All Wrong.
Of work.

q EVERAL days ago when, evident
~ ly, he was not in good mood,
~ Secretary Long wrote this to the
editor of a well-known newspaper: IF
you think the feeling against the ad-
ministration is justified, then you should
suggest what ought to be done, which,
of course, you do not suggest"
Surely, in scores and hundreds of in
stances the press of the country has
suggested what ought to be done. More
than that, several of the staunchest
newspapers in the United States have
pleaded with the administration. 1t
may be that the president has no cause
to lend an ear to what the opposition
press has to say, but everybody knows
that many of the foremost republican
newspapers in the land have labored
with the administration. The event
proves that these newspapers We're
wise counsellors and good prophets
when, twelve months ago. they elo-
quently urged President Mckinley to
throw Alger overheard.
The trouble with Secretary Long and
his official associates is that they have
impatiently refused to listen to sugges-
tons that We're patriotic and kindly in
spirit. With the result that Alger
stands condemned by the jury of public
opinion. the administration record is
sadly furnished, the long investigation
ends with the cowardly recommended
ton that everybody in authority keep
still, and Eagan, self-disgraced because
of his too Jealous effort to help Alger
out, is punished with a six-year picnic
at full pay"
When Secretary Long finds his ad-
ministration coterie in dispute with this
countrys public-as he surely will-he
will not be able to make the excuse
that the press gave no suggestions; the
press faithfully sounded a loud warn
ing, and Secretary Long is one of the
men who thought the best policy was t.
disdain it.

He Wishes He Hadn't,

~ second thought, Hobson. who
~ was an admired hero for lit
tie while, as the result of the
sinking of the Merrimac, regrets that
he disguised the American public with
his kissing exploits. Hobson has not
been heard from on his own behalf. but
he evidently has friends. and they wish
to make it appear that he really is the
victim of reports that We're grossly
exaggerated"
This Hobson business. under the re-
newal of the discussion, is getting sew
eral new and absurd chapters added
to it. Among other newspapers the New
York Times finds itself disposed to put
in a word of appeal in his behalf: that
newspaper soberly remarks that some
atonement ought to be made TO Hobson
for the false light in which unfounded
reports left him. Probably the public
would be willing to deal gently with
this silly young man. There are news
papers, however, that are not going to
permit the statement to go unchal-

kissing tour We're false.
One of the Chicago newspapers-Ve
forget which one Of them-takes up the
subject with earnestness. Its comment
is that one kiss did not make the Hob
son scandal. "Such an exhibition as
that given in Chicago, when Hobson
kissed over $50 women at the conclu-
sion Of his lecture, was enough to turn
the whole nation sick 1t compelled the
attention of his superiors. But it was
not until he had kissed himself half
across the continent that Hobson real
lied that he had kissed himself out of
the fame he had Won"
1t may be that the future will know
of Hobson purely in association with
his really brave, although unavailing,
exploit in the bay at Santiago. But
his kissing carnival proved to be often
sive to the public and the present gen.
Grafton will almost always think of
him as a fellow who showed himself to
be insipidly silly.

ceived. day or two ago, letter from
the Historical Library at Helena, say
ing that the Standards file in that Ii
brary is complete, except for dates prior
to about April, 1891. The Standard
started its career in September, 1889.
The request from the Historical Lii
brary. where we are informed, the
Standard file is frequently consulted, is
for copies that will fill these early num-
bers and SO make the library's file COM
plete. Unfortunately this office cannot
meet this request without breaking files
which are now complete. but which
would be seriously damaged if thus
broken. 1t may be that there are pat
rons of the Standard who, having these
early numbers, would be willing to
place them at the disposal of the states
historical library. That would be a SER
vice which the library and, as well, the
Standard would appreciate.
In yesterdays edition the Standard
began the publication. soon to be COM
pleted, of the names of several hun
bred valuable books that have just been
added to the collection in the Hearst

Phoebe Hearst This city gets immeas-

country. 1t is not large, but it is

doubtless this public library will be
steadily enriched in respect to contents.
In both libraries the patronage of the
reading rooms is highly gratifying.
Meanwhile, let those who enjoy the
advantages which these free public Ii
braries offer keep in mind the efforts Of
smaller communities to start libraries.

instance, a book or the price of one.

which reached this office day before

of the United States. We don't know
that the Standard has serious differ
ences of opinion with the part of Colonel
O'Leary's letter that describes how we
came into possession of the Philippines
or as to the law governing our general
relations to the islands. But the letter
of Colonel OLeary does not convince
the Standard that he is right when he
says: "The war with Spain brought
about the conditions at present exist
ing in the Philippines, and until such
time as the congress may provide by
proper legislation for such condition,
the executive has full authority to use
the means at his command to suppress
instruction against that authority and
can thus use the volunteers" On the
contrary, the Standard holds that the
term of enlistment for the volunteers
ended when the war for which they en-
listed ended; that, therefore, these vol
unteers are not rightfully means at the
| presidents command" and that he,
therefore, essentially lacks the authority
thus to use the volunteers
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-05-15

The volunteers in the Philippine serv-
ice were enlisted for the term of two
years or during the war, as Colonel
O'Leary says. The Standard wrote il
yesterday morning as a term of one
year or the war, and that was a blunder
on the Standards part. However, the
fact insisted upon was that the war for
which these volunteers enlisted has
been formally proclaimed closed, ard
our contention was and is that, the war
being closed, these volunteers are law
fully entitled to be mustered out and
that, in fact. the federal government
has no right to march them one inch.
1t would have been the easiest thing in
the world for federal authority to have
shut off the possibility of criticism on
this score; as the Standard remarked
yesterday, the government at Washing
ton could have made a new enlistment,
and those who chose to retire from
service, under the admitted terms Of
enlistment, could have done SO. These
volunteers enlisted for the war with
Spain: it was not dreamed then that
we would have the present war to fight.
They are two distinct wars; one was
a war with one of the old monarchies

Current Comment.
Western Men in the Army.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Practically all of the men from the
West who have been fighting Aguinaldo
have been taken from civil life. Most OF
the volunteer officers and all the privates
have been drawn from farms, factories or
from professional life. All of them, regu-
lar soldiers as well as the others. have
been fighting under conditions which were
entirely new. They have been living in
an alien climate, have been confronted
with physical circumstances which are
strange, and have had an entire environ
ment which has been unfriendly. Yet
they have triumphed over all these hostile
conditions.

TWELVE PAGES.


z F the public in this country mani
tests a spirit of growing Impotence
over the prolonging of operations
near Manila, that does not furnish
cause for complaint in official quarters.
We are to remember that practically
all that the people know about the Phil
ippine situation comes from department
headquarters at the national capital.
The news is, so to speak, inspired there,
and the public has been accepting, right
along, the testimony that has come di-
rect from administration sources.
Ten days ago the current dispatches
attributed to the president the opinion
that the Aguinaldo rebellion would col
lapse within forty-eight hours" 1t was
told that this hopeful view had a good
foundation in messages which the adj
ministration had received from the
members of the Manila commission.
The promised collapse did not occur ac-
cordng to advertisement but the pub
lie was warned to look out for the end
of the rebellion at any instant, and the
newspapers were furnished with good
deal of information about the minor
matters of difference, respecting the
terms of peace, as to which, there could
be no doubt, friendly conclusions would
speedily be reached.
That was pleasant; the trouble with
it all is that after the public had been
favored. several days, with these pleas
ant tidings, along came press dis
patch which said that "the pith of
long dispatch sent by the president to
General Otis is: Force the fighting.
Penetrate far into the interior and
capture or destroy every warning Fill
pino.'" This message was reported to
be a special sent last Friday, from
the Het Springs. where the president
is a guest.
OF course, it may be that, one and all,
the messages of this sort that come
from Washington are mere inventions,
That may be; but it isn't at all prob
able. In fact, there never has been any
intimation that the administration cir
Gle denies the honesty of any of the re-
cent press dispatches. 1t will be re-
membered that just about eight weeks
ago, General Otis cabled that the re-
bellion would be subdued within three
weeks. That prophecy was sent out
unquestionably, in all sincerity. EX-
perience seems to show that we wern't
onto the Filipino curves. They make
a stand, fight, run away, make an
other stand, and so draw us farther
and farther into an interior country
that makes marching and fighting
worse and worse for our soldiers.
Not that the American public is maxi
ing any loud complaints; on the con-
trary, public sentiment is for giving the
authorities at Washington all reason
able time. We are simply remarking
that If the public does betray any i'm
patience 1t is because the mass of in
formation sent out from official circles
In Washington has aroused expectations
which have not been warranted by the
conditions where the fighting is ac-
tually taking place.
