The CIeyeInnd Riots.

The Administration and its friends have
been hoping against hope that the strike
troubles in Cleveland would be settled
without riot or bloodshed, and thus pre-
vent the introduction into the Ohio cam
paign of an ugly labor question. But the
matter has gone too far now, and the Re-
publican party will be compelled to shoul-
der whatever odium may attach 10 il on
account of the stern measures which the
municipal and State governments interest

The attack with dynamite on the nom
union men sleeping in the street car COM

wrecking of a car containing seven passen-

The fact that the authorities have allowed
the reign Of anarchy to continue as long as
they dare, and we may now expect to see
the city placed under martial law.
How much that might mean in Cleve-
land, We do not know. The local military
force, consisting of three troops of militia
cavalry, one battery OF artillery, and a
small battalion Of Naval Reserves, would
not amount TO much against a large mob
of determined men not afraid TO use ex-
plosives. II is understood that. since the
disorganization of the Ohio National
Guard, caused by the war service of most
of its old members, the State is poorly
supplied with available citizen soldiers.

San Francisco, July &c. /. McRey-

cifc. writes from Manila of the death OF
Private William S. Sullivan, Company F.
Fourteenth Infantry, due TO gross negli-
gence of hospital nurses The letter says:
"On the night of October 81 the nurses
in charge of the ward in which Sullivan
lay were Bouquet and Nugent. Surgeon
Black made his usual visit and prescribed
a bath for Sullivan and wrote the orde-
on slip at the head of the bed. The heal
nurse called the attention Of the two at
tendants TO this order and then retired.
About 7:30 o'clock Nugent and Bouquet
prepared the bath and put Sullivan into
the tub. He vas left there some ten min
utes and then Bouquet and Nugent got
into dispute as to who was TO take Sui
livan out, and four or five minutes more
passed.

the tub his head was under water and he
was corpse. The head nurse was hur-

DeNNeN,s Sneech-

One of the most picturesque incidents OF
Dewey's journey home is described in a
despatch from Trieste. They gave him a
banquet there, of course, and equally, of
course, they invited him to speak on the
subject of the battle of Manila.
He began by saying that all he knew
about the battle of Manila was that the
steward gave him some bad coffee that
morning, which made him rather i'll, but
as his flag lieutenant kept the record he
would invite that gentleman 10 speak.
Then he sat down. The flag lieutenant
then said:
and he taught me not to talk, 50 | will only
say Dewey did it,
This, of course, made ii necessary for
the Admiral to say something more, and
he made very short and very complete
little speech, paying compliments to Aus
tralian neutrality, to the men behind the
guns. to the engineers, and to almost any
thing else except himself. And then the
other people did the cheering.
If there is any one thing which will en-
dear Dewey to the American people more
than any other quality, it is the fact that
he is not given to too much talk A few
incidents like this will be all that is nec-
essary TO make him, if possible, even more
loved and admired by his countrymen than
he is today.

The Spanish Prisoners.

tfrotl, the Inlilueipnla Leiger.b
Little has been heard during the American
operations in the Philippines of cartels for the
exchange of prisoners, or of the number OF Fill
pno prisoners in custody, if any. large
contingent of insurrectionsts has been paroled
Exchanges of prisoners are frequent incidents OF
warfare usually conducted. But in the case
of the Spanish prisoners we hear more of ransom
to be paid. There is proposition to bring
about their release by exchanges The holding
of the Spanish prisoners by the insurgents is en-
barrassins to the United States. We are under
stipulations to do what We can for their re.
lease. In the Peace Treaty the United States
pledges itself TO undertake to obtain the re-
lease of all Spanish prisoners in the hands of
the insurgents in Cuba and the Philippines
The Federal Government is bound to carry out
this agreement in good faith, and is endeayoring
to do so. Ii has not guaranteed to secure their
liberation, but it has agreed to use its best
efforts TO obtain it, so' that a violation of the
treaty stipulation cannot be reasonably urged
hereafter. There is painful uncertainty as to
the number Of Spanish prisoners held by the in
surgents.

A Mountain Not Removed

The joyous and ebullient Christian Sci
enlist is again on view, this time at Con-
cord, N. H. 1t may not be generally known
that this is the place selected by Mrs
Mary Baker Eddy. the founder of the sect.
for her permanent residence Whatever
may have been the feelings OF the people
of Concord toward the newcomer. they
have never had other than amicable reIa-
tions with her until recently, when she
became involved in a dispute with one of
her neighbors.
Mrs. Eddy has a handsome house On a
hill. some distance from the centre of the
city. On the same hill stands the house
of Professor Kent, principal of the high
school. Mrs. Eddy lately took it into her
head that it would be a good thing to cut
slice Of this elevation and improve / er
view. Mr.. Kent objected, on the ground
that his house would then be perched far
above the road and the general appearance
of the scenery would not be improved.
Mrs. Eddy declared-possibly on scientific
grounds-that Mr.. Kent would not really
be hurt by the proposed improvement; he
only thought he would be hurt But Mr..
Kent is Harvard man, and has studied
other kinds of science besides the Chris
tian variety. and he declined to take that
view of the case Mrs. Eddy then sent a
petition to the aldermen, asking them to
lower the grade Of the street to conform
TO her ideas OF the beautiful. Professor
Kent promptly entered a contemplation.
And it looked as if, for the seven hundred
and seventy time in its career.
Christian Science had coIlided with the
law OF the land.
To the impartial observer il might seem
that if Mrs. Eddy was really desirous of
improving her view, and il she truly be-
lieves that matter has no existence, and
that there is nothing in the universe but
mind, all that she would have to do would
be TO bring the influence of that powerful
brain Of hers to bear upon the real estate
in question. and it would fade away like

removing mountains by faith, and they

NOT ENOUGH MAIL BOXES.
A Bad Condition of Affairs Observed
by Mr.. Heath.

n n0Q SOmOltiOM OI AMulTS ODSeryeO
by Mr.. Heath.
New York, July 22.-while First Assist
ant Postmaster General Heath was in New
York Thursday he had the congested con-
dition Of the mails in the downtown dis
trict called to his attention in forcible
manner. He was standing in front of a
bank when a man walked up to letter
box and attempted to force letter into
the box. He was unable to do SO because
the box was already jammed full. Step
ping back a few PAGES the man opened up
on the mail box, the local postoffice au-
thorities. and finally on the administration
OF the department which permitted such
state of affairs. For several minutes the
atmosphere was redolent with profanity.
1t was the fourth postal box. he said, which
he had tried in an attempt to get his letter
In the mail without success Every box
was full. MIR. Heath became interested
and watched the box for four minutes. dur
Ing which time four men attempted to force
mail into the already oyercrowded box,
and all failed. He then made a little iIves-
tigation for himself, to see il the box was
choked in any way. He found that IL was
not, but that it was full up to the brim,
and he reached down and pulled out a
handful with which he could have made
away had he been so inclined.
Mr.. Heath made an investigation AMI
found that although the boxes are sup
posed to be emptied every half hour, ac-
cording to the schedule of collections. it
was impossible to keep them open, as the
mail in that section OF the city is so heavy
the boxes are filled every ten minutes after
they are emptied. This state of affairs
prevails all Of the way from Twenty-third
Street to the Battery, on Broadway. and
also on other streets. AS soon as he
reached the postofiice General Heath di-
rected another collection wagon should
be put on this service and yesterday he
directed that additional letter boxes should
be erected. Wherever there is a letter
box on Broadway from Twenty third
Street to the Battery, in the business dis
tricts of Grand Street, Wall Street, and
elsewhere, another letter box is to be
placed alongside of the old one, and when
new letter boxes are ordered special box
will be ordered for this district. The new
box will be about foot longer than the
present boxes and contain almost twice as
much mail. Automobiles will be employ
ed to collect the mail if possible. New
York shows an increase of 81 SOC. 600 in
the postal receipts for this year over last
year and New York and Brooklyn together
will furnish about II per cent of the Pest
Office Department gross revenue for the
year. Business seems to be extraordina-
rily good in Greater New York and Mr..
Heath is anxious to furnish all the fa-iii-
ties possible. He believes the new meas
ures will relieve the congested condition
hitherto prevailing.
Substations of the New York postotfiee
will be established August l at Morris
Heights, River Terrace, opposite Dock
Street, No. 129, and Washington Avenue.

a Most Gorgeous Prospect.

Without caring to take sides at this mo-
ment in the delightful little Republican
family row which is plainly brewing over
the Alger resignation. and which promises
to add materially to the mirth of nations
during the next month or two, il occurs to
US to remark that there never was a time
in history when an innocent man in the re-
tiring War Secretarys position had a gau-
dier opportunity to secure yindication and
laurels.
Glancing over the utterances OF Mr.. AL
gers friends on the subject of his eviction.
il is easy enough to detect a practically
unanimous opinion that he has been made
a scapegoat for the sins of others. We fail
to see any effort to deny that the sins
charged to Alger's account were commit
ted by somebody; but his apo,og.sts are
definitely insistent that he was only nomi-
nally and perfunctorily, if in any sense at
all, responsible for them.
1t is to be doubted If Mr.. Alger and his
chief adherents would take such a position
unless they thought themselves equipped
TO support it with proof. We are,
therefore, encouraged to hope that they
will seize the earliest opportunity to make
the whole matter plain. II involves large
book of horrors the actual blame for which
the American people would like 10 see
placed where, and only where, it belongs.
IL would be cruelty to hold Mr.. Alger re-
sponsible for appointing his henchman,
Hecker, as Chief of Transportation; of Sc
lecting the Camp Alger pesthole in the in
terest of anybody's relative; OF connivance
with the details of the great army trans
port deals; of favoring certain railways in
establishing military camps: of buying
millions of pounds of canned carrion with
out inspection, and of other things on the
same general line, if he had nothing to do
with them. 1t is now his chance TO clear
his skirts of the entire business by enab-
ling the press to fGsten the burden upon
the appropriate shoulders
We can hardly believe that man of
Mr.. Alger's trained business habits could
have been for two years the central fig
ure of the War Office without taking at
least some notice of what was going on
about him, and no doubt he has the memo
ry, data, and literary ability to utilize his
information in a highly interesting man.
ner. Indeed, suggestions are not wanting
that the retiring Secretary intends to de-
vote the first weeks of his leisure to the
task of turning his private diary into his
tory prepared for publication. We may
therefore. indulge the hope that before
long we are to be benefited and instructed
by reading a handy volume of Algerian
memoirs, devoted TO the camp, beef, and
other departmental mysteries of the late
Spanish war.

Women Rioters,
(From the Brooklyn Eagle, ,


No man wishes to hurt woman. No man will
Intentionally hurt one. But the kind OF women

(From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.l
Taking advantage of our war with Spain, while
Manila lay helpless under the. guns of Dewey's
feet, small part of the Filipinos, the Tagals OF
Luzon, under the lead of an aspiring chief Aguin-
aldo revived previous insurrection against Sain,
and continued it against the United States when
Spain had surrendered to us her sovereignty over
the islands. But Aguinaldo represents simply a
selconstituted military oligarchy or dictatorship,
not government by the free choice even of the
Tagals, much less of the six or seven millions OF
other Filipinos. Neither he nor anyone else in
the Philippines has ever constituted a government,
founded upon the free consent of the governed.
No such government has ever existed there They
have never known any rule except that of military
force. Government by consent presupposes free
institutions, because it is only through the ma
chincry OF free government that the will of the
people can be organized, expressed or aseertained
The United States alone has undertaken to es
