n local Administration organ in1ulges in
a political dream which must certainly ap
peal to the public as rosy one for MIR
Mckinley and his Administration. 1t is
to the effect that the Republican party
managers have made up their astute minds
to drop Mr.. Hobart in 1900. and to nomi-
nate Theodore Roosevelt for Vice Presi-
dent on n ticket with Mckinley.
II this scheme could be considered FEAST
bic we should have to hunt long distance
before turning up finer one. 1t would
combine with the personality of the man
who has protected Algerism, that of
another man who has been one of its most
vehement critics. 1t would associate a can
didate who opposed the Spanish war to the
last possible moment, with a good second
who always wanted it to happen. 1t would
combine the conformation of rotten beef
crimes against the Army with their forci
bic denunciation. In other words, it would
be good politics.

chance for the national honors of his
party in 1904 He will not surrender it for
the mess of pottage offered him in the

kinley were not vigorous man for his
-age and likely to last many years, it might
be different. OF course, we are quite
aware that some people express the opinion
that Roosevelt's luck would kill him any
way. but we do not believe that idea would

The philippine scandal.

According TO the testimony OF gentlemen
who participated. the Philippine situation
was only informally discussed at the Cabi-
net meeting yesterday. 1t is rather safe
presumption that it was the only thing
mentioned. The startling revelation of the
actual situation at Manila made by the
press correspondents is not matter that
can be 'whistled down the wind" 1t is
TOO close to a Presidential campaign for
the Administration 10 ignore it, as it did
the public outcry against Algerism year
ago. This time something will have to be
done. What shall it be?
Certainly it viii not do to leave the fu-
ture of our empire in the East in the hands
OF an ofnce invalid who has demonstrated
his inability to handle the delicate situa-
tion confded TO his care; who especially
has shown his incompeteney for high mill
tary command in allowing interference with
his operations and duty by such obviously
improper meddlers as Tincarrion DENLY
and the two schoolmasters.
II would be we'll for the President 10 send
a real commander to the Philippines, and
without a moments delay. unless he wishes
to reap a whirlwind of disaster from the
wind of imbecility that the Algerian policy
has sown in the archipelago. and the har-
vest from which appears to be ripe.
The demand of the country is today in
sistent that Alger be removed and the
direction OF affairs in Luzon handed over
10 the Major General Commanding the
Army. Time is precious and the public
pulse is feverishly excited. What does
the President mean to do?

The English Language.

Some English journalists are amusing
themselves with a discussion of the ques-
ton: rs English less poetical language
than French, and. if not, why not?" Max
Beerbohm, supported by the majority OF
the writer's involved in the discussion,
takes the ground that English is the more
beautiful as well as the more forcible
language.
1t has long been conceded by Latin races
that the English speech is particularly we'll
fitted to express strong feeling. and, as
proof of this. it may be recalled that in
many Latin countries a very angry man
has recourse to English when he gets to the
swearing point. But from the time of
Ben Jonson there has been a disposition
to decry the English language as a medium
for poetic feeling.
One of these English correspondents.
however, has a well-defined argument in
support of his contention that his native
language is fitted for the speech OF poets
He says that French is an emasculated
tongue, and lis, in fact, pigeon LATIN
the descendant of Latin as pigeon English
Is descendant of English, mere chatter
ing dialect When England assimilated
the Latin tongue, on the other hand, the
Latin words were but little changed, and
in few cases did they supplant really i'm
portant Saxon roots.
There is something in this argument.
and in spite of all the talk about world
languages such as Volapuk and Esperanto,
it seems probable that English will be :he
real world language Of the future. in spite
OF its nondescript syntax. irrational pro-
nunciation. and utterly Impossible SPELL
ing. Its first advantage is. of course, that
it is the language Of the conquerors. As
English-sp,aking races become more ard
more powerful. their language will natu-
rally come to be spoken in the lands whicn
they dominate Thers IS an).ncr advaE-
tare In the ease with which a working vc-
oabulary of English NAY be attained 1t
is anything but easy for foreigner to
learn to speak and write our language with
absolute correctness, but it is not at all
hard for the uneducated foreigner 10 pick
up enough words 10 make himself UNDER
stood. The simple Saxon roots come in
plexities of this composite speech are
| avoided. Then for the use of the writer,
there is an infinite variety of words and
phrases CLEANED from all parts of the earth

especially if there are other influences
at work in its favor But this country
cannot be governed on the forty -nine-cent
bargain counter plan of provincial vii
lage. 1t will be of no use to try any gold
brick methods of administration on the
American people when they are awake to
such possibility. They know that free
press is the police force of the nation,
and that when a partisan censorship is
established in the interests of a political
ring, the liberty of the people is threat
ened. An experiment like this is partic-
ularly dangerous in time of war. When
American fathers and mothers know that
their sons may be sacrificed to the feeble
and corrupt policy of few politicians,
they are not likely to stand much tTifiing
with the truth of the matter.

The President and the Press.

II seems not TO have occurred to Presi-
dent Mckinley and his advisers that in
attempting TO fool with the American peo-
pie on the subject OF the Philippine cam
-paign they are doing one OF the most dan
gerous things that can be done in this
country There is absolutely nothing

The continued and misleading censorship
OF dispatches from Manila is not the first
incident of this sort in the history of the
Administration. The same disposition to
do things behind closed doors and settle
national affairs through kitchen cabinet
was observable after the Maine affair, and
again during the Cuban campaign. and
both times the Indignation OF the people
was aroused to a pitch that was some
what formidable The recent protest from
the correspondents at Manila is perhaps
the most striking proof that we have yet
had of the serpentine policy of the War
Department. These correspondents cannot
be ignored. They are men known for their
reliability and integrity. They represent
reputable papers. few of which are given
TO sensationalisn. They had everything TO
lose by this protest if it were not war
ranted by abundant grounds for their
statements. If Mr.. Mckinley retires be-
hind wall OF diplomatic evasions at this
critical point, he Will simply confirm, in
.he eyes of the people. every allegation
Shich the newspaper men have made.
There are times when it is impossible TO
take neutral grounds. and this is one of
them. The man who keeps silence when
plain statements are needed is making
some very positive and unhattering state
ments about himself.
The declaration Of the correspondents is
that certain facts regarding the Philip
pine situation have been withheld from
the American people, so that they are get
ting an entirely wrong idea OF the course
of the war and the need for more troops.
In short they intimate that this Govern
ment is trying to pursue an essentially
Spanish policy. eoncealing from the people
material facts. in order TO save the credit
of some of its officials. What is likely TO
be the effect OF this hint backed up by
proofs which any intelligent person can
discover in the dispatches printed during
the past month";
1t is unfortunately true that methods
such as those alleged by the correspond
ents in this round robin are not so very
uncommon in other things besides mill
tary operations Most Of US have known
incompetent men who tried to cover up
the record Of their failures by suppressing
facts. on the plea that their publication
would alarm the community. or "injure
the cause or something. Their methods
are familiar. and the War Department de-

lack of accuracy. French must for some
time continue to be the language Of diplo-

The Truth Must he Told.

(From the Philadelphia Times.)
There is no danger that the people will be dis
couraged at the failure of the first Philippine
campaign If they see any signs that the next
campaign is to be in competent hands, If, how
ever, the recent policy OF fighting battles which
win nothing and lying about the result is to be
continued, there will be political revolution in
the United States By the side OF which Aguina-
dos revolution IN the Philippines will pale into

should be neither dallying nor concealment in the
future. A commander should be sent to Manila
at once, and many additional regiments as may
be required as fest as transportation can be fur
nished. and in future there should be only truth
between the Philippine commander and the pco-
ple. One campaign OF failure and lies is quite
