\ 'Fagal DELEGATE.

The Democracia, published at Manila
prints report to the effect that the Fill
Pine juntas nave determined to send
representative to Washington during the
approaching session of Congress to repre-
sent the insurgent government. This is
probably untrue, yet it is none the less in
terestiug. There are certain reasons why
such a statement cannot be accepted. a
representative with such credentials would
probably be entertained in the guard house
at the Washington barracks as a spy in
stead of in the halls of Congress or at the
State Department as the representative of
foreign government. The fact that Agon-
clio was not molested during his stay at
this capital last winter constitutes no pre-
cedent for present consideration. There
then no war between the American
government and the rebeilious Tagalos
Agonciio merely represented nunorganized
unofficial native interest He did excellent
work. from his point of view, while here
and the American friends he made then
will amply represent the insurgents before
Congress this winter. What need is there,
therefore, to send delegate while Sena-
tors Hoar. Hale and Mason and Represen-
tative LentZ are on the floor, primed to
speak for the Aguinaldans?
But suppose such a representative Were
commissioned. it is interesting to ask
whether he would be a Filipino or an
American. If the latter, why not Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson? He knows all about the
case. He has studied it from every point
of view. including that of the sanitarian.
He is thought by his coadjutors to under
stand the Filipino character far better even
than Aguinaldo himself and to know more
about the duties of the American govern
ment than the administration. No more
complete equipment for the delicate mis-
sion could we'll be found. Then, too, his
status as American citizen would mini
miZe the chance of his being arrested. In
these days of broad tolerance the republic
will stand a great deal of traitorous con-
duct on the part of its own people before
acting

According to a London cable. Great Brit

two insignificant republics are viewed win
considerable curiosity in some of the Eu-
ropean capitals, notably Paris and st re
tersburg Notes have been exchanged on
the subject. and it is even limited IN I'M
official quarters that inquiries will be ad-
dressed to the British government as to
the contemplated absorption of the TWO re-
publics by the British empire,

and second whether the present IS a good
time for such iuteTrogatory- the main
interests of France in Africa are not In
the south but in the north Of the CONT
nent. and Russia has, directly, no interests
at all. south or north.
On the second point it is to be noted that
as matters now stand Great Britain is do
ing no more than defending her own terri
tory. The Two insignificant republics are
attacking her on her own ground or
course. they offer as an excuse the asser-
ton that Great Britain was preparing to
wipe them out OF existence. But that is
only an assertion and it stands only on an
assumption. President Kruger undoubted-
Iy blundered in becoming the aggressor

France and Russia blunder in the same
way. and to an equal degree. in moving

Why Not MarylandY

From Ohio. according to the present pro-
gram, Mr.. Bryan Will return to Nebraska
and devote the last two weeks Of the cam
paign to his party at home. He will have
visited Iowa, Ohio and Kentucky, and will
have failed to visit Maryland, Massachu-
setts and Mississippi. where state campaigns
are in progress. Why this discrimina ton :?
Why while on tour will he not heartep the
brethren by a visit and word of cheer all
along the firing line? His health is good
His voice holds out Is he partial in his at
tachments? Are the democrats in the three
states he has visited dearer to him than
those of the other three states?
The inquiry really narrows down to the
state of Maryland. In Massachusetts the
democrats have no show whatever. They
have state ticket in the field, but not even
Mr.. Bryan could give II any strength 1t is
certain to be Overwhelmingly defeated. In
Mississippi the republicans have no show
whatever. They are notSeven going through
the motions of campaign. They are so
hopelessly out of the running that they
have not put up ticket. There Is no need
for Mr.. Bryan or anybody else to lift his
voice to insure democratic success at the
polls in Mississippi.

The Battle of Glencoe.

Making due allowance for the fact that
all reports thus far received as to the bat
tie fought yesterday at Glencoe Natal,
have come from British sources, it is clear
that the engagement reflected credit upon
the British arms. The opposing forces were
not of equal size, the Beers seemingly hav-
ing nearly twice many men. Neverthe-
less, the British assumed the offensive and
after several hours of stubborn fighting
carried the Boer stronghold with a brilliant
infantry charge Though the fire from the
heights thinned the British ranks consid-
erably, the two regiments put forward for
this perilOuS duty pressed onward until the
Beers fed before the onslaught.
The Beers have reputation for warfare
based principally UPON their ability to
shoot straight and to take advantage of
the opportunities for guerrilla work. There
Is little of record, however, to show their
capacity to conduct large organized field
movements
In waging an offensive campaign they will
need to demonstrate this capacity in order
to win Charges and mass movements de-
pend for success upon the cOmpactness of
the organization. The Beers are individual
fighters, excellent personally. but as yet
unproven collectively.

No Political Judiciary.

Something of national interest attaches to
that feature of this years contest in New
York which aims at divorcng the judiciary
there from all political pressure. Richard
Croker in his treatment of Judge Daily
aroused the city TO the dangers of low If
not COrrupting system. and there is a wide
spread desire and an intelligent plan on
foot to put an end to it And, appropri-
ately enough. Judge Daily has been nomi-
mated for return to the bench as expressing
in hts high character and ability no less
than in the treatment he met with at Mr..
Cookers hands the full purposes and the
meaning Of this movement It is to be
hoped that he and his associates on the
fusion ticket put up may be triumphantly
elected
There probably was never more shame
full abuse Of power than that of the turn
ing down Of Judge Daily by the Boss of
Tammany Hall. And Mr.. Croker blurted
out his reason apparently without any
sense Of its real Significance AS he viewed
the matter. he had put Judge Daily the
bench. and therefore had perfect right TO
use him. Judge DAILY refused to be used
and at the first opportunity Mr.. Croker as
the master Of the political situation denied
him a denomination. Mr. Croker in effect
took the ground that the courts were a part
OF the political machinery, and that judges
must obey.
This IN miniature is application of the
idea which would put end to the life
tenure on the bench of the Supreme Court
OF the United States. and make the judges
of that court the servants not of the people
but Of party bosses. Appoint men to that
bench but for few years and then threat
en- them or cajOle them as to a reappoint-
ment. and that high tribunal would soon
lose its SplPndi1 would
Come to pass that the proper men would
not accept appointment, accepting one
appointment would refuse to maneuyer for
a second. and leave the bench just as they
had fully mastered its difficulties
.- No political tinkering with the courts
; And especially by such men as Richard
Croker. who make politics a profession and
gut a commercial or a personal value on all
political transactions

put the yachts to a conclusive test. Yester-
day it came, almost gale. flashing the sea
into white-caps and threatening the safety
of the spinnakers set by the yachtsmen.
Nevertheless Columbia won again, this
time scoring both in windward and lee
ward work and in Seamanship. She started
in the wake of the challenger and beat her
to the mark and then drew away from her
on every tack in the run home. 1t was
clear victory. without recourse to the time
allowance or to the starting advantage and
from first to last the American yacht was
handled perfectly.
This contest demonstrates that although
the British designers have adopted the
American model they have not yet mas
tered it 1t suggests that under equal con-
ditions an American crew can get more
speed out Of a racer than an English crew.
1t shows that the racing course can be
kept clear for fair play for both yachts.
These three conclusions are well worth the
expenditure and assurediy worth the dis
appointment suffered by both sides and the
public IN the fortnight of calm. And when
the stars and stripes broke out at the mast
head of Shamrock and floated over the
challengers own coiors yesterday another
link was forged in the chain which binds
together the people of the two great En-
glsh speaking nations. 1t is easy to be-
heve that if Sir Thomas Upton had won
the cup this year he would have been even
more heartily cheered by the American
people than he was yesterday when ne dis
p-ayed his appreciation of Yankee clever
ness by saluting and cOngratulating the
winner Their disappointment would have
been tempered by the reflection that the
cup had been ''llfted'' by worthy repre-
sentative of Irish pluck

Rev. DR., Isaac NJ. Wise, who is the presi-

editor for forty-hve years of the American

try and lifelong democrat, urges in his
paper the duty of the business men of
Ohio to take an active part in the present
campaign there in behalf of sound money
and continuance of our present business
prosperity. In this connection he says:
This fall the campaign In Ohio is looked
upon by careful students of the situation
as the preliminary battle Of the national
canvass in 1890 AS such Its effect on
business IS certain to be far reaching and
important. If the American people reverse
their judgment of 1896 by the approval of
the free silver plank of the GAINESVILLE plat

circumstances. Both parties are exerting
themselves to the utmost. The republicans.
with an exceptionally fine ticket. and a
ringing platform covering both local and
national issues. are exceedingly active and
aggressive. The democrats do not deny
that they are engaged in the fight of their
lives. Why then does not their national
leader hurry to their assistance? Has he
been invited? Mr.. Goebel and Mr.. Black
burn in pinch invited him. and he re-
sponded. Mr.. Mclean invited him, and he
responded. Mr.. White invited him to Iowa,
and he responded. Have Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. German failed to invite him to Mary
land? And if so. why?
Nobody in Maryland can be in doubt
about what Mr.. Bryan's strength is or
what he still stands for. Mr.. German faces
the probable necessity of supporting him for
President again next year on free silver

him and free silver this year?

An Extraordinary Business Revival
| From the PHILADELPHIA Record.

An extraordinary condition of affairs,
never before completely paraIIeled in Amer
lean history. now exists in the commercial
and industrial world. There are few de-
partments of business in which productive
capacity is not equal to that of former
years, and in many cases, as everybody
knows. 1t is larger than it ever was before.
Yet the demand for products is so great
that in many manufacturing lines there Is
a compulsory setting aside of offered bust
ness because producers cannot fill the
orders within reasonable time. The pres
sure of freight traffic Is great that the
railroad companies cannot furnish cars to
handle 1t with required promptitude. The
business revival has been so rapid, and has
SO far exceeded expectation, that 1t has
temporarily overtaxed the facilities for pro-
duction and distribution.
