FREE PASSES FOR FRIARS.
Governor of Guam Finds It Necessary to

Governor of Guam Finds 1t Necessary to
Deport All but One.
WASHINGTON, Ocs. 31.-The navy de-
partment has received report from
Captain Leary, the naval governor of
the island of Guam, in the Ladrones,
which has excited good deal of inter-
est among the officials to whom it has
been exhibited. The president himself
has read the report, his interest being
particularly attracted by the disclos-
ure of the fact that the first American
governor of the island has already been
obliged to adopt heroic measures to
ensure a proper administration OF af-
fairs there. Captain Leary soon learned
that his authority as governor was be-
ing subverted and every one of the
measures of reform which he proposed
was being defeated by the hostile in
fluence of the friars. They resisted
every decree, no matter of what charac-
ter, from spirit of intense conserva-
tism, and belief that any disturbance
of the order of things which had gov
erned the island for so many years
would cause them to lose their hold
upon the natives. After exhausting all
other means to overcome this influence,
Captain Leary reports that he was
obliged to notify half dozen of the
friars that they might have free trans
portation away from Guam, and he
would expect them to avail themselves
of the offer. That left but one friar on
the island and he was man whose
character and reputation was such as to
convince Captain Leary of his fitness to

Anecdote of Heureaux.
Some years ago conspiracy headed
by several prominent young men OF
the Santo Domingo republic, who hop
ed to gain wealth and position through
the death of Heureaux, attempted to
take his life and start revolution.
Their plot was cleverly planned and
seemingly sure Of success, for the pres
ident showed no suspicious, continu-
ing his customary mode Of life, walk
ing and driving throughout the city as
usual without guards, although at that
time he was fully posted in every de-
tail of their scheme, and when their
plans were fully matured and their
time for action at hand he had them
all arrested and thrown into the dun
geons Of the old Notifications.
The penalty for crimes Of this sort
is always death. So soon after their
arrest they were drawn up in line on
the old parade grounds within the
walls of the old fort and told to pre-
pare for death, after which the firing
squad lined up in front Of them and
were ordered to fire. AS they did 50
one man fell.
The president, who was a witness
then stepped forward and said: my
children, you have attempted to ruin
your country and take my life, and
for this you are legally subject to
death, but do not want to see you
die so young. That man on the ground
had to give up his life to pay the pen
atty for his misdeeds. If you ever plot
against me again, you will be where BIZ
is. Look at him, remember what
have said and then go, for you are
free"

Advice Of q Minister Speaking on Prise
Reform.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 31.-Rev. j.
A. Milburn, in his sermon upon prison
reform, took the position that the first
offenders should go free, except in cases
of murder, and should not be taken in
the patrol wagon. Justice courts, he
holds, should be open night and day for
immediate hearing, crime being a dis
ease. For second offenses sentence
should be imposed under the indeter-
inmate law, and prisons should be
graded, in the line Of reform rather
than of punishment.

WHERE " COMES FROM,

Though Admiral Dewey is a republican,
and has that he will not per-
nit his name to be used in connection
with a presidential nomination, there is
unquestionably a movement on foot in
the democratic party to force him into
the race if it can be done. The propo-
sition is for the national democratic con-
vention to place him in nomination, with
out a platform, permitting his %individu-
atty to take the place of the customary
resolutions. 1t is hoped by the democrats
behind this movement to induce the ad-
miral to accept the nomination, provided
he is allowed to be his own platform, and
is not compelled to subscribe to partisan
ideas with which he canno agree.
AS Dewey's ~declination in advance will
no be accepted by these men, it is inter-
esting to investigate the motive which

impels them. The proposition to nomin-
anti Bryan democrats. They ave reach
ed the conclusion hat no member Of
their own party can defeat the Nebraska
statesman in the race for a nomination.,
and that his nomination on the proposed
issues Of the next campaign will again
lead to the triumph of the republican
party. Rather than follow Bryan to in
evitable defeat at the polls, on issues
with which they are not in sympathy,
such democrats would seek to ave their
party from the oblivion to which it is
tending, even through the heroic meas
ures which the leadership of Dewey
would imply.
With Dewey serving as both standard
bearer and platform no vexatious expos
ure of party weakness in defense of DEM
would be necessary only to hurrah for
Dewey. If asked to state how he stood
on the expansion question. or the free
coinage question. OF the trust question.
the democrats face would tighten up
with a glow of conscious power n
strength as he replied: Il stand squarely
on Dewey" Advocating the name of the
great admiral. as a candidate for the
double duty of posing as both standard
bearer and platform of the democratic
party, may be a pleasant advertisement
for the anti-Bryan democrats, who want
to escape the vortex that yearns for the
anti-eXpansionists, but it is a movement
is likely to grow ridiculous before
the birth Of another year.

ABUSE or GENERAL OTIS.

Yesterday morning the Anaconda
Standard referred to General Otis as
a 'resolute intrepid jackass."
1t is not the purpose Of the Inter
Mountain to quarrel with it's con-
temporary over matters of taste, any
more than it would with the old lady
who is said to nave kissed a COW.
Neither is it necessary to institute a de-
Tense of the commandant in the Philip
pines, because a leading democratic
newspaper in Montana sees fit to heap
senseless ridicule and abuse upon his
head.
General Otis may not be a Napoleon, a
Wellington, a Grant or a Robert E. Lee.
either in executive ability or military
d~iscernment, but that he is a far-sighted
man and a capable soldier is more than
demonstrated by the work he has accom-
plished in the Philippines. It cannot be
denied that he might have brought the
conflict with Aguinaldo to an end had
it been the policy Of our government to
slaughter the natives and destroy their
property, as a Napoleon doubtless would
have done. But Otis tempered his VIC
tories with mercy. Without sufficient
men to garrison captured towns, he re-
fused to destroy them and the grain
fields from which the insurgents were
able to draw their food supplies.
He has kept in view the fact that he is
conducting, not a war of conquest, but a
campaign against the residents Of United
States territory who are in a state Of in
surrection against the authority of the
federal government. Hence, the idea of
pacifcation has been constantly kept in
view, and no unnecessary act of devas-
tation has been permitted.
It is because of his humane course, in
the discharge of both his civic and mill
tary duties, that General Otis is so
roundly abused by the democratic press.
He has failed to give the anti-imperialists
any opportunity to make political capital
against the national administration.
They have had no opportunity to accuse
the president of blood-curdling cruelty,
and thereby arouse public sentiment
against him. Had Otis inaugurated a
campaign of rapine n slaughter, as
he could have done as the victor in every
battle fought with the natives, the demo-
cratic press would have made Rome
howl with the horrors Of the situation.
The avidity with which they seized upon
a few cock-and-bull stories as to alleged
cruelty on the part of American soldiers
in certain cases, shows how anxiously
they have awaited some act on the part
of General Otis that could be used to
indicate the heartlessness and age
Of the federal administration!
Failing to find any political capital of
this kind with which to strengthen their
arguments in favor of pulling down the
Stars and Stripes in the Philippines, the
democratic newspapers advertise their
disgust with General Otis by calling him
a "jackass." 1t is evident tina if Otis
has not as yet secceeded in capturing
A~guinaldo, he has at least gotten the
democratic newspapers on the run. IL
has ~grievously disappointed them in no
furnishing red fire for their political cam.
paign next year. Had he converted the
Philippines into a slaughter house he
might ave been a brute, in the opinion
Anaconda Standard, but he would no
have been a jackass.
