of rebels who, at the time, were Span
ish subjects. Spain had nothing to do
with the capture of the ship in question
the viceroy at Carton had permitted
her to sail. and the capture was the
sequel of information which was cabled
to Dewey by United States Consul
Wildman
However that may be, it is admitted
that, at Madrid, the queen regents
ministers have been looking into the
matter and it is told of them that they
propose to bring case against China,
demanding indemnity for this violation
of the international code. These Phil
ippine rebels are our rebels now. We
purchased, along with the payment of
$40, 900, 900, the right to whip them. The
arms in question, carried by the Abbey,
from Canton, were never turned against
Spanish soldiers; undoubtedly they are
a part of the military equipment that
has recently drawn the blood of Mon
tana soldiers and of other Northwest
volunteers. So that, for all practical
purposes. if there is any Chinese terri
tofy coming, IN tne way OF indemnify,
it ought to be ours instead of Spain's.
However, we don't need it; and if
China can get along with the claim
as handily as the United States did
with the claims for filibuster which
Spain urged against us when ships
sailed constantly from our ports with
munitions for the Cuban insurgents-if
China, we say, can get along as con-
veniently as we did, 1t will be long
time before either Madrid or Washing
ton gets indemnity as the result of the
operations of the Abbey

They Are AT 1t.

-~HERE is no lack of zeal on the
part of Boss Quay. He pro-
poses to be seated in spite Of
the precedents and all the signs are
that the administration intends, by all
that in it's power lies, to help him get
the seat, under appointment by the
governor of Pennsylvania.
The doctrine zealously preached just
now by the supporters of Quay is that,
after all, the modern presidents do not
amount to much, and that it is better
to go back to the methods that ruled
in the early days of the republic, in
this matter of senate seats. Suddenly
the Quay element has developed q
strong admiration for the old style.
Uuder this plan, Quays advocates will
have to go back a long way. All but
one Of the favorable precedents oc-
Cured before the year 1926. Prior to
that year, in ten instances of similar
controversy, the senate seated the ap-
pointee without controversy
Thereafter, for more than half CEN
Jury lueIG were 10 cases tHdI are u
parallel with that of Mantle or Cor
bett or Quay-the readers of the Stand
ard are familiar with the discussion
that resulted in the rejection of Man
tie, and the argument made in his case
was fitted to the case of Corbett, who
tried, in February of last year, to get
into the senate by appointment of the
governor, under conditions precisely
like those that apply to Quay
Some of the members of the federal
senate figure it out that they have a
choice as between presidents, that one
precedent is as good as another, and
that they prefer to follow the precedent
that will let Quay in. And this is the
course which, if they have been hon
estly quoted, will be followed by sew
eral members of the senate who voted

One of the Offenders.

II S soon as the administration has
shut all the mail pouches against
Atkinson and sealed the lips of
Hoar and the rest of the critics of i'm
pe1alism, it will pay Mr.. McKinley's
agents to take ex-Speaker Reed in
hand and discipline him; he needs it.
Mr.. Reeds offending comes to light
in this way: In the course of CONVEX
sat1on on the steamship crossing the
Atlantic from New York, an English
tourist remarked that Chicago sis bit
Wild for a big city. DO you know"
said he, there were fifty-seven hold
ups, ] believe you call them during
the four days 1 passed in Chicago"
yet, strange as it may seem," Mr..
Reed observed. this is the ciyil;zati ton
which the Filipinos refuse to accept.
How blind these savages are to the
beauties of good government"
This talk certainly is worse than sedi-
tlous and more disastrous in its effect
on the Luzon intellect than any of the
Atkinson statistical tables could posi-
bly, be. What will the islanders say
when 1t is made clear to them that
President Mckinley is bent on making
them part and parcel of hold-up civ
ilization? Can any man blame them if
they persist in the notion that they
like the Philippine method better?
1t is plain now that Speaker Reed
wanted to talk treason, that he couldn't
hold in any longer, that he left public
life because he could not suit his views
to the Mckinley plan and that, after
he had done all that. he was compelled
to take ship for Europe in order to get
past his lips what was in his mind
without exposing himself to an arrest
involving a charge of high crime and
punishment of not less than ten dollars
and ten days.
If the administration circle measures
up to its full duty, Ambassador Choate
will make a summary arrest and Reed
will be packed back to America to face
the charge of sedition.

Jones Will Run.

~ RETTY soon Mark Hanna will
~ be obliged to deal directly with
Mayor Jones of Toledo In
general way the public knows what
manner of man Jones is-he has risen
to national fame as the enemy of fran
chises, as the advocate of fair deal
for labor and capital alike and as the
eloquent expounder of the theory that
the golden rule can be made to work
successfully in the affairs of everyday
life.
There have been guesses as to the
political future in store for Mayor
Jones, since his recent successful cam
pa1gn as an independent candidate for
the mayoralty in Toledo. Some people
have even wondered whether he might
not figure in a national convention
next year. Whatever the future NAV
have in store for him in national poll
tics, Mayor Jones IS going to figure
prominently in Ohio's coming elections.
There has been filed, in compliance
with the Ohio law, a specimen ballot
to be used at the republican primaries,
giving the names of twenty-fou dele
gates to represent Lucas county in the
republican state convention. This
specimen ballot carries picture of the
mayor and the words Jones for gov
ernor'
Mayor Jones himself tells the reporters
that he is aware of the movement that
represents his name and that if he dis
covers that the people want him he'll
run. If the mayor follows the tactics he
pursued in the recent municipal cleo
ton he will run anyhow. If the repub-
licans choose to nominate him, all
right; if Hanna's men turn him down,
he will run just the same. If he does
run, hitched up ito a party organiza-
ton or along with his own political
machine, he will undoubtedly run fast
and make Ohios contest over the gov
ernorship right lively race.

For Gold Alone.

~ NE of yesterday mornings spe-
cial Washington dispatches to
the Standard announced that
specific provision" for the maintenance
of the gold standard is male in the
report which. lettering by the sad sea
waves at Atlantic City, the currency
committee has prepared for submission
to congress. This Specific provision"
Is now given out as sin keeping with
the platform pledges of the party"
that elected Mckinley to the presi-
dency, and it is announced that this
will make the gold standard a recog-
nized fact, in next years campaign. as
republican achievement The fore
cast from Washington is that the re-
publican strength in congress will be
consolidated in support of this measur
and that the president will give 1T his
hearty approval.
There seems to be plenty of reason
for believing that the programme thus
outlined will be carried out, on the
part of the republicans. They will no
longer make any professions to the eff
feet that the republican party proposes
to do anything for silver. That sort
of game has been played to the finish.

McKinley's attention constantly to the
fact that there's a large amount of
business to be transacted before next

Is General Merritt will bitterly re-
greet the folly, or the unwise am
bftion that prompted him to speak, the
other day, with contempt of Secretary
Ayers critics and to go on record with
the ridiculous remark that "Alger is
the best secretary of war the world
has ever seen" Yesterday the Stand
ard remarked that, on the Testimony
of the American press, General Mer
rift stands absolutely alone in this
bombastic estimate of Alger. Within
twenty-four hours the exchanges that
have reached Montana, practically
without exception, confirm this state
ment
Indeed. what puts General Merritt
more thoroughly in contempt is the
commonly accepted theory that, by his
remarks, he proposed to play the role
of the cheapest kind of courtier it is
popular opinion that he hoped, by his
unstinted praise, so to ingratiate him
self that Alger will remove Miles and
thus permit Merritt, who is moving
up close to the time for his retirement,
to get brief season of honor out of
holding the rank of commanding gen.
eral of the army of the United States.
Because of the age limit, Merritt stands
small chance of enjoying that honor;
Merritt's date for retirement Is June
16, 1900, while Miles holds, unless re-
moved, until August s, 1908
Either General Merritt is the victim
of an indecent ambi ion or he is grossly
ignorant of the records of his own
country in respect to secretaries of war
Good men have held that office, James
Monroe was secretary of war. Lewis
Cass held the office, as did William
l.. Marcy, Edwin NJ. Stanton, U. S.
Grant and William T. Sherman. Be
fore our Spanish war of last year was
many days old, good republicans
warned Mr.. Mckinley that he ought
to make it his first business to put
Alger out of service. The years ex-
perience has shown that, had he been
wise and courageous, the president
would have needed this importuning.
General Merritt was in this country's
service at the time when Lincoln re-

will probably be the popular choice for
next year and that congress 'ought to
have plenty of time
There is a sort of unanimous consent
among these republican organs to the
effect that about the first week in Oc-
tober will do as the time when the
congressional mill should begin to
grind, and there is a general anticipa-
ton that the president, yielding pleas
antly to the republican demand, will
bring the two houses of congress into
session at about that time.
