The Write Flags.

That all the Filipinos who are not sery-
ing in Aguinaldos army consider the war
at an end is obvious from the display of
white flags along the entire route covered
by the American movement from Manila to
Malolos. The inhabitants of every town
fed in advance of the rebel army, deceived
by the misrepresentation of the purposes
of the Americans and the promise OF Agui-
naldo's success. The abandonment of the
capital by the rebels and the demoraliza-
tion OF the troops awakened the fugitives
TO the real situation, and they made white
flags by the thousand and began their
homeward march.
That the rebels in arms will soon follow
does not seem TO be doubted by the Ameri-
can officers. The returning refugees re-
port general dissatisfaction among the
troops They are short of rations, with no
hope of fresh supplies. While it is as
serted that Aguinaldo will leave the island
of Luzon and attempt to maintain the con-
test in the southern islands, it is not prob
able that a large number of the Tagalos
will follow him.
He has little to hope from the other
races if the information of General Otis is
trustworthy Every day the Visayas grow
less inclined TO resist American authority,
and when they are convinced that the sit
uation OF Agunaldo.s army is desperate,
they Will almost certainly take the oath of
allegiance to this country. In short, the
war is virtually over and there will be no
more hard lighting.

New Testament, it is that charity is the
greatest of all virtues, and that friendli-
ness to a woman who has been robbed OF
her good name Is duty especially ie-
quired of everyone who wishes to follow
the teachings of Christ. Yet, in this day
and generation, religious people too often
seem TO think that it is particular proof
of their goodness to help hound woman
out of society If her name has been so
much as breathed upon by vile tongues
There is nothing easier, in a community
controlled by such persons, than to cast
suspicion on a young and friendless wo-
man. Such suspicion may easily be given
the shape of definite charges, and then the
thing gets into the newspapers. 1t Is
considerably easier in such a case to make
the charge than to -disprove it, for if the
girl be innocent, the best evidence she can
offer is only negative; nevertheless, there
is enough good sense and kindliness in
most communities to save her from unjust
condemnation. Bat those who are stran-
gers to her, and hear of the case only
because of some peculiar feature of it,
do not always remember the vindication;
they remember the charge, and that girls
name is never entirely cleared in the
eyes of her public

missionary work done on them; they need
il badly in Philadelphia. where the citizens
are paving for the corruption of their mu-
nicipal government with an epidemic OF
typhoid fever, but would 1t be possible TO
do much good in this particular way? In
the case of the Philadelphia officials, 1t
looks as if nothing would really reform
them but reducing them to private life
most private-the life of the striped uni
form But perhaps Wichita aldermen will
respond to milder methods.
The last two propositions, however. are
most calculated to arouse speculation in
the mind of the country. Suppose the city
does furnish street car fare to al who wish
10 go to church OF Sunday, how is 1T TO
be ascertained whether or not the people
use il for that? Is the city going TO fol-
low the church going multitudes with
guard of policemen with clubs and Bibles,
to see that they get off at the church doors
and go inside and stay inside? What is
to prevent a family taking the street car
fare thus provided and having little ride
for pleasure. or going to visit relatives on
the other side of town? Nothing; nothing
at all.
And. then. there is the proposal to supply
drugs and medicines free of charge. This
opens a perfectly terrifying vista of possi-
bilities. Those who know anything about
a certain class of average Americans know
that in this class the taking of medicine is
one of the delights of existence. Proprietors
of certain patent medicines thrive and
amass wealth solely by catering to
this propensity. Is it desirable that
the wild appetite for medicine on
the part of our more or less dys-
peptic population should be encouraged? Is
it to be supposed that with medicines free
the people of Wichita will be any happier,
any healthier. any more moral, than they
are at present? Statistics show that peo
pie who can afford nothing else can af-
ford TO spend money on drugs. Surgical
operations and treatment in hospitals
sometimes cost a great deal and cannot be
afforded. and warm clothing is not always
attainable but medicines are different
thing Then. TOO think of the condition
of Wichita children when doses of all sorts
may be obtained without money and with
out price" Truly. land flowing with cas-
| tor oil is not a paradise for the average
child. This wild-eyed reformer should
have mercy on the infants, if not on more
hardened offenders.

Hanna and Major Lee.

Major lee was told that beef contract
was approved by Secretary Alger at the re-
quest of Senator Hanna. He asked Eagan
if he knew whether it was true and Eagan
replied that he had been sent for by Alger.
who said he had been spoken 10 about
contract. There we're two men present,
but he did not know whether one was Han
na. Major Lee did not assert that his in
formation was correct, but he felt ii was
his duty to ask the question. No one can
doubt that il was. Therefore there is no
warrant for Senator Hannas reference to
The contemplate insinuations of this man

This man Lee" has served his country
for thirty-five years. and during that time
there was never 2 suspicion that he was
not thoroughly honest, honorable, and
high-minded He has won the respect of his
associates and the confidence and esteem
Of his suporiors. His record is one of
which any man might be proud. Can SEN
ator Hanna show as clean a record? Would
an investigation or his career leave him
as free from the suspicion of unscrupulous
dealing as Major Lee is?
This man Lee" has been charged with
The responsibility of defending General

of 2 fearless performance of his duty. II
is not the fault of Major Lee that Senator
Hanna was suspected of using his infiu-
cnce 10 effect contract. 1t is surely not
his fault if the standing OF Senator Hanna
is not such as 10 make the suggestion OBJ
viously absurd. There was no malice in
his question.
Ii is not known who is the authority for
the statement that Senator Hanna used his
influence in favor Of a meat contractor. 1t
may be wholly false and Senator Hanna
may be justified in positive denial. But
he IS not justified in using any such ex-
pressions about Major Lee for the simple
performance of his duty. 1t shows de-
gree of feeling against Major Lee that sug-
gests q sympathy with the war on General
Miles. Everybody knows that in consent
ing to act for the Commanding General.
Major Lee incurred the danger of what
ever injury the War Department could in

So Many Mere Rye Faces.

The Kentucky Distilling Syndicate, which largely
controls the production of Bourbon whisky, pro-
poses TO put prices up, the advance already made
ranging from 50 per cent on common stuff to 100
per cent on fancy brands Competition is easy
in this field, as the Kentucky distillers have al
ready experienced 10 their cost; and the reported
increase IL prices is probably nothing more than
a spas,nodic attempt on the part OF the combina-
tion to participate actively in the speculative
profits of the boom period. 1t is now or never
with them since within the next season or two
a large accumulation of stocks from bonded
warehouses will be thrown upon the market by
the expiration of the extended bonding period.
1t is certain, in addition, that any long continued
attempt TO advance the cost to consumers of this
form of spirituous liquor would result in a
marked decrease in the demand for it.

IsIand Officials.

The selection of an American represen-
tative on the Samoan Commission is said
to engage the serious attention of the
President. With a fresh memory of some
of the appointments President Mckinley
made for the Alger Relief Commission, the
country has some reason for anxiety about
the future. We are now entering on
new career where the failure to make
something else than party consideration
the basis of selection would have more Sc
rious consequences than any We have
known. II is of superlative Importance
that personal integrity and fitness should
count for more than party usefulness and
party loyalty. An entirely new policy
should be inaugurated with the choice of
a Samoan Commission.
There is no doubt that the Republican
party leaders look upon the Philippines
and Porto Rico an enlargement of their
domain; that they count upon rewarding
larger number of useful partisans with
the Offices the administration of these ISL
ands must create. 1t cannot be impressed
on their minds too early that we owe a
higher duty TO the people of the colonies
than has been recognized in relation to our
own people. This country cannot afford
to make of the Philippines an asylum for
people here; it cannot afford to allow the
party leaders to dictate the appointment of
commissioners. governors, and other Off
cials In the government of the islands
We are under the inspection OF the world,
and all the world is interested. If We fail
TO demonstrate TO the inhabitants of the
new territory that We are not more virtu-
Gus than the corrupt and oppressive Span
iards the chief purpose for which we have
retained the possessions is defeated. We
! are there TO promote the interests of re-
| publicanism; TO show 10 the world that a
! popular form of government does not mean
! dishonesty and injustice. To achieve this
| every man who fills colonial Office must
be conspicuous for purity and ability. As
| a rule, such men are not in favor with the
! party leaders who dictate appointments.
| Therefore it is imperative that the Presi-
dent should make it known that the only
/ influence that counts in the choice of men
for such offices is the influence of high
character and great ability.
The American people have become en-
! thusiasts in favor of expansion, because
they believe we can extend the blessings
of our free institutions and teach the
! world that republicanism develops the
| highest type OF man. by the unselfsh. pure
! and wise administration of the affairs OF
the colonies. If the President will bear
this in mind and share the sentiment, the
professional politician who has no scru-
pies in matters of government will be ex-
! cluded

BosToN's socKLFss MAYOR.
Initiates Simpson and Is n Believer
in Faith Cure.

Boston, Mass. April 1.-THE failure OF
Mayor Quincy on Sunday TO attend the fu-
nerals of the members of the Ninth Massa-
chusetts and likewise his failure to be on
hand yesterday to welcome home the Fifth
Massachusetts Regiment caused much
comment and surprise.
The mayor is sick, so sick in fact that
his friends are greatly alarmed. but he
turns a deaf ear to all their entreaties to
call a physician, and trusts to his faith as
a Christian Scientist to pull him through
for nearly week.
It was known that Mayor Quincy count
ed several Christian Scientists among his
closest circle of friends, but few. if any
knew that he himself was a convert TO the
faith.
He has been running down for some
time. A cold drew heavily upon his vi.
tality and what is pronounced to be ner-
vous prostration is the result. 1t is related
that one of the peculiarities of the mayor
is that he wears no socks. even in the cold
est of weather. His friends attribute the
cold which finally obliged him to give up
to improper protection In this respect on
one of the rainy days early last week
Al u leSisiStlNe nearing at the State
House on one of the coolest days this win
ter friend of the mayor noticed that he
was sockless and demonstrated with him
against such fragrant abuse of his health.
but the mayor treated the matter lightly.
His friends fear that the mayor has drawn
more on his splendid vitality than he him
self appreciates, and are. therefore. anx-
ious that he should have the best of medi-
cal attendance. But he is confident ne
will be out in few days. saying all he
needs is little rest
