THE MORNING NEWS TUESDAY, AUGUST /. 1899

Mr. Bennett welcomed him publicly with
a ghastly dissertation upon maladies OF
the liver and abdomen, and urged him.
with all the specious arguments known 70
the tOuting profession. to go for cure not
to Carlsbad but to Nichy, in the interest
of the waters and hostelries whereof the
European edition of the New York Herald
and the New York edition of the Paris
Herald are manifestly retained.
What penalty does the hero of Manila
pay for Ignoring Mr., Benefits suggestions
as TO the best place TO which TO carry his
liver for treatment?
The Paris Herald and the New York
Herald yesterday printed a bogus inter-
view purporting 20 have been held with
Admiral Dewey al Trieste on Friday by
one Of Mr. Benefits deputies and eXhib-
iting the admiral TO public ridicule as a
going ass beyond compare.
In this malevOlent attack upon George
Deweys reputation for common sense he
is falsely represented as saying, among
other idiotic things:
" Prince Henry of Prussia is a man Of
the type of his brother, the German EN-
perOr.'
" 'Germany's policy is to prevent other
powers from obtaining what she cannot
acquire herself
" our next war will be with Germany
such is the Tout's Revenge"

Passenger Agent Drake. on his recent

NILES PROBATION.

II appears to be the understanding IN
Washington that the probation of Gen.
Miles VITA come TO an end to-day, when
Mr.. Root assumes charge OF the war de-
partmeut. AS far as known Mr.. Root has
no feeling Of hostility 20 the Commanding
General Of the army. and VIII gladly avail
himself Of the latter's military experience
and ability. The President, also, il seems,
is willing that Gen. Miles probation shall
be terminated and that he shah once more
discharge the duties which properly belong
to his position.
At the beginning of the war with Spain
Gen Miles, was in almost daily consulta-
ton with the President and the Secretary
of War In fact. he was in favor until he
had practically completed his campaign in
Porto Rico, and had begun to
criticise the war department In the
newspapers. The great mistake he
made was in airing his quar-
rel with Gen. Eagan in the public prints.
it IS probable that he thought that he
could sustain the charges he made in re-
spect to "embalmed beef" His failure to
do so lost him much of the respect and
influence which he had previously en-
joyed.
If the new Secretary of War restores
him TO favor, he viii practically have the
direction of The Philippine campaign. He

The restoration of Gen Miles to favor
will not be without its political effect. He
has a great many friends among the Re
publican leaders, particularly in the East
ern states. They have been rather luke

The announcement of the appearance of
yellow fever at The Soldiers Home at
Hampton, Va, came ike a clap of thunder
out Of a clear sky That is about the last
place that any one would have thought of
in connection with the appearance of yell
low fever in this country. At the Soldiers
Home there is supposed TO be the very
best of sanitary regulations, and cleanli-
ness Of the highest order. There seems 10
be no doubt, however, that The disease is
genuine yellow fever. The theory that the
disease was taken TO the Home by a sol
der who recently returned from Santiago
is very reasonable one, and probably,
the correct one. The hope is that it viii
be confined TO the Home. and there seems
TO be some ground for thinking that it
VIII be.

TWO IMPORTANT FACTS.

subcommittee of the Congressional In
dustrial Commission took testimony in
New York few days ago re-
speeding immigration Two impor-
tant facts were developed One was
that the immigration laws fall short of
shutting out all undesirable immigration.
and the other was that there is a strong
desire in official circles TO take the immi-
grafton bureau out of the classified SER
vice and permit its offices to be distrib-
uted among political workers.
Commissioner of immigration Fritchie
testified that notwithstanding care was
debarkation it was undeniably true that
many persons were received who were
suffering from dangerous contagious dis
eases. He mentioned several Instances.
The blame he placed largely upon the
steamship companies which are so anxious
to secure passengers that they will take
sick or diseased immigrants if they have
the price of their fare. He says there
should be a more rigid inspection abroad,
and a fine provided to be imposed upon
steamship companies which bring immi-
grants having contagious diseases. AS
sistant Commissioner insolvency said
that the Italian "padrone" system was
still in vogue; that hundreds of
Italian laborers were being furnished with
money by bankers among their country
men, and that when these laborers arrive
in America they are held in virtual bond
age by these bankers, who receive their
hire and handle them as they see fit He
said also that there were evidences that
numbers of assisted immigrants from other
countries were arriving IN the United
States. 1t was not by mere chance. he
said. that hundreds Of immigrants arrived
with precisely the same sum of American
gold.
Mr. Frltchie was much opposed to civil
service reform in the immigration service.
He did not believe that the examina lions
did any good or indicated the fitness of
those passing the examinations to dis
charge the duties required of them. He
believed it would be good thing if all
of the offices of the department were taken
out Of the civil service The commission
er confessed that he had known cases
where valuable men had been removed to
make room for mere party workers. strl,
that did not change his opinion respecting
the desirability of abolishing examinations.
He thought the appointing power ought to
be able to make better selections than
civil service examination would indicate
to be the proper ones. That is to say. the
commissioner is not only willing but would
prefer that the immigration bureau be
once more given over wholly TO the dom
ination of politicians. He would ike to
see torn down one of the safeguards which
stands against ignorance and incom-
potency in public Office and against the
addition Of undesirable elements to the
population The immigration bureau under
the manipulation of politicians who held
the whip-hand over clerks and other en-
poyes could be made very valuable 10 DO
litical bosses and to certain employers of
labor who make large campaign contri-
buttons.

SENATOR M'LAI INNS MISSION.
It rs very doubtful if Senator McLaurin
ana a number of citizens OF Florence, 5.
! c., who arr going TO see the President for
| the purpose OF protesting against turning
| the postofiice Of that city over to the Rev.
Joshua e. Wilson. a colored man, will
meet with much success The Postmaster
General is very strongly IN favor Of the
policy of appointing negroes to office, and
he has q great deal Of influence with the
President He seems TO have the idea that
the way to settle the race question is to
put negroes into office. however great the
opposition Of the white people to them may
be. lie is one of those men VINO
have obtained their information Of the
race situation in the South from partisan
sources. lie is, therefore, united to deal
with it in any way, and certainly not In
the way that the great Office gives him
power to do If he mad lived a year or two
in the South his views on the race question
would be vastly different from what they
are.
The postomce department, however is
being conducted to some extent along po-
itical lines. and there is every reason TO
think that the President approves this
policy. The negro politicians OF tho SCUM
must be consulted in order that the Pres
ident may get the delegates from the south
to the Republican national convention. II
for no other reason, therefore, negroes
would he appointed to Federal offices in
the South to assist the President to get
denomination.
It is claimed by the postoffice depart
meut that the Rev. Joshua f.
Wilson a few years ago served
as postmaster at FiorcCce, aud
that there was then little or no op-
position TO him 1t may be true that he
is capable of filling the position, but when
he was postmaster on former occasion
| Florence was a very small place, and the
great majority of the population were ne
| groes. Now the place has become a rail-
road center, and the character of the pop
ulation has undergone great change. The
| place is now largely populated by white
people, who don't want negro postmas-
ter.
| The really responsible citizens of the
| town are apprehensive that if Wilson be
! They don't want any such tragedy as there
was at Lake City, S. c. The postoffice de-
partment, however, seems to invite just
such an affair as that was. If there were
no white Republicans at Florence the
| Postmaster General would have a much
| better excuse for appointing a negro but
| il is said that there are white Republicans
! there who are acceptable to the people
| and who would like to have the position.
! Why is II, then, that the administration
| insists upon appointing negro? Is il for
| any other than the desire to please the
negro politicians and insure a Mckinley
| delegation from South Carolina to the Re
! publican national convention? 1t seems
| therefore that for a small political ad-
| vantage the wishes of whole community
are to be disregarded by the government
and a tragedy risked. And yet the Repub-
| lcan leaders pretend to wonder why the
! Republican party cannot get a foothold
among the white people Of the South.

NJ. D. Landon eli Perkins, writes to
the New York Sun as follows:
When l was writing my "IIings OF
Platform and Pulpit" Robert Ingersol
kindly sent me what he called his great
EST lecture, Liberty of Man. Woman
and Child" with many other of his most
brilliant sketches.

not use any assault I may have thought
lessly made on Christ, which l foolishly
| made in my early life. With Renan, I
believe Christ was the one perfect man.
'Do-unto-others' is the perfection of re-
| ligion and morality. 1t is the summum
bonum. 1t was loftier than the teachings
| of Socrates, Plato NIohammed, Moses
! or Confucius. Ii superseded the Com
| mandments that Moses claimed to have
| gotten from God, for with Christs do
| untO-Others there could be no murder,
! lying, covetousness or war. 1t superseded
! Greek patriotism, Roman fortitude or An
| glo-SaXon bravery, for with do-unto-oth-
| ers bravery and patriotism would not
! be needed"
| Mr.. Ingersolrs arguments were of the
| reductio ad absurdum kind. One day in
a talk on the cars with Talmage he
| said:
Then you would like to live in a place
| Brother Talmage, where every one had
| TO be good by law?'
| Certainly said Talmage.
| you would like to live where every
one had to go to church regularly every
| Sunday"
Yes, that would suit me-"
| ''Where no man could get drink and
swearing was not permitted"
| Yes, that's the place for me-"
| And where every man would have tc

THAT would be heaven on earth" said
