THE CHINESE NEW YEAR.
BRINGS GRIEF TO THOSE AT
QUARANTINE.
They are in Bonds and in Prison on
the Greatest Festival of the Celestial
Calendar.

The Chinese at Quarantine have 9TH
er griefs than thai of being refused u
landing and their grief extends to and
is shown by their friends and country
men throughout the Islands.
The Chinese New Years is approach
ing, the greatest festival of the Chi
nese calendar. And to be in bonds or
in prison or on high seas at that time
is considered one of the greatest ca
lamities that can befall a Confucian
Chinese man. But it looks as though the
rejected Chinese would be both in
bonds and i'm prison on the coming new
year, which falls on February 10Th.
Special Chinese Inspector Brown ard
Secretary of the Chinese Bureau Civ
vim are beseiged with inquiries about
the matter and requests to be permit
ted to send New Years presents 0nd
greetings and deliCaCies to friends in
quarantine so that the day can be OBJ
served in some sort there.
Every opportunity will be afforded
! to friends ashore to send whatever
messages or presents they may desire,
and to enable the waiting Chinese to
celebrate the festival at quarantine.
The only restriction on this is that the
messages must first be submitted to
Secretary Girvin so that there shall be
no correspondence to eVade the law:
and presents must be submitted for the
inspection of the quarantine officials
for similar reasons.
There is no intention or desire on
the part of the officials to hamper or
prevent communication between Chi
nese at quarantine and friends ashore
But it must be done through the prop
er channel to enable the officials TO
| carry out the law.
The probabilities are that the quar-
antine station this year will see such
festivities and celebration as 1t has
never seen before.

WARNE NOT AMENAB1E.

Deadwood- Pioneer Times: The idea
that Maj. Warne, of the South Dakota
volunteers, could be court-martialed
for the aspersions cast upon Col. Frost
in a letter to Senator Pettigrew few
weeks ago, is not we'll founded" said
an officer of the First cavalry, a few
days ago, in referring to the incident.
1T contained some pretty strong re-
Elections, and I do not commend it
from the standpoint Of good taste;
nevertheless, it was private letter not
written for publication, and a man is
permitted to entertain his private opin-
ion as we'll in the army as in civil life.
Even if that had not been private let
ter, do no believe Major Warne could
have been made amenable to the court
martial for what he said. There is a
division of opinion on the matter, but I
believe Major Warne could have shown
that he had volunteered merely for the
Spanish h-American war and not for the
Philippines; that he was only bound to
serve until the end of the Spanish war,
and inasmuch as the government was
holding him in the service without au-
thority, he was no longer accountable
for any infections he might commit
against army discipline, or for any dis
respect shown superior officer

President Schurman, of Cornell col
lege, has surprised the imperialists by
denouncing their oft repeated ISLANDERS
of the Filipino chieftan. "Aguinaldo, I"
he said, ''is believed in the islands to
be honest, and I think that he is acting
honestly In money matters" This
comes right on top Of the reckless as
sertions Of the imperialists that Aguin-
aldo is only a dishonest adventprer, a
bandit, bribe seeker, etc. It is a hard
blow to favorite administration argu-
ment
But why should Schurman refer es-
pecially to this? Let us recall some
matters A month ago administration
organs printed dispatches from Wash
ington stating that the president had
important information as to "a new
move for peace by Otis, with sly hints
at some secret method of approaching
the leaders, ending with an intimation
that Aguinaldo had made direct over
lures of secret nature to the peace
commission. This announcement
came at time when Bates was on his
way to the Sulus to bribe the Moham-
medan potentate to be still. It was SO
plainly hint that whereas Otis cam
paign had failed negotiations for buy.
ing off the insurgent leaders was in
progress that no person questioned this
Interpretation of the dispatches.
Nothing further has been heard of
this bribery scheme until President
Schurman spoke. He declares that
Aguinaldo is honest in money matters.
That settles it, Bribery doesn't go
with Aguinaldo whatever may be the
method of our government
Inasmuch as the imperialist press has
been continually retailing the old Span
ish stories about Aguinaldo to the ex-
clusion of all others, we might suggest
that they give currency to President
Schurman's certificate Of character for
the leader of the Filipinos. Sioux

We had, / said, matchless oppor-
tunity. What might we have done II
we had been honorable, if we had, even
after having gone into the war, liberat-
ed the peoples Of the islands and said
to them: Now you are free, we will
help you; we will give you self govern
ment work out your own problems;
fulfill your own life; we will keep the
nations of the world from you; but You
are free? We could have been the
father of new nations nations born to
liberty and hope. But we have follow
ed to the shame of our children,
course of national infamy. There is
but one atonement for our infamy, and
that is to quit our present course, and
retreat from this wickedness. Let
there be such public demand that for
once, at least, the people shall be heard
even by the brutal master of our presi-
dent-the master who ought to be
wearing the convict's stripes, but whose
money bought senatorial robes instead.
To retreat would take Intimately great
er courage than to persist in wrong
But for all times to come; such re-
treat would set a lesson in a national
moral magnificence.
Surely, there must be left 10 this
nation in the great common heart and
life of the people, enough of the spirit
of the Pilgrims, who crossed the seas
in order that they might be free to live
their own lives; enough of the spirit OF
the Huguenots, who laid down their
lives rather than live under lies; enough
of the spirit Of the New England faith
ers, who gathered in those mass meet
ings which Mr.. Leckey calls riots and
mobs, . enough of the spirit OF Jetfer-
son and Phillips and Garrison and
Sumner and Lincoln; enough of our in
heritance of liberty, of moral honesty,
of spiritual reserve to declare to our
government that this massacre of men
and women struggling for liberty shall
eud. For you and me to consent
it is to betray our fathers, betray the
Christ who died to set all peoples free,
and betray every man who has risen
up to speak the word Of freedom to his
people. There must be in this great
city by the inland sea enough Of God
and manhood, enough of disinterested-
ness, to arise to mighty moral revolt
and command our rulers to say to the
Philippines: 'Yon are free; we are
your friends; we are not your enemies;
you are not rebels; our people shall not
exploit you; go in peace; take our bless
| ing as nation: take our protection,
forgive our shame and treason; and suf-
fer us to wipe out our shame in service

Governor Andrew E. Lee was in
Yankton last week enroute from Pierre
to Vermillion and was guest at the
Pierce during his brief sojourn. A
Press & Dakotan reporter asked Gov.
ernor Lee if he expected to attend the
convention at Huron for the purpose
of arranging for reception for the
South Dakota Volunteers upon their
arrival The Governor replied:
mo, shall not attend the conven-
ton. That is convention of the bust
ness men of the state, there is no poll
tics in it and my presence might be
misconstrued. Let the business men
outline plan and get to work and
whatever can do, as citizen or as an
executive, to help them I will readily
do. intend to go to San Francisco
and be present when the regiment ar
rives, if I am alive at that time, what
ever action the Huron convention takes.
I will probably adopt the suggestion of
the Press & Dakotan and ask Senator
Pettigrew and Kyle and Congressman
Gamble and Burke to accompany me,
but whatever do, will not interfere
in the least with any arrangements the
convention may make"
Governor Lee said the recent session
Of the state board of equalization had
been characterized by much hard work
and that he would go to his home in
Vermillion and rest for a time before
doing anything else.

HYpooR1cY IN THE CABINET.

A4
It seems to have been the peculiar
misfortune of Mckinley that he picked
men for cabinet positions lacking In
some of the essentials of honorable
manhood. For instance, there is Will
son, Of the farm department, who re-
turned from a trip to San Francisco
Ito study agriculture" and declared
that he did not meet an anti-imperial-
ist west Of Chicago. why" he said,
'every man, woman and child, in the
west it determined that we shall keep
the Philippines" And little further
along he said that he went through
the hospitals at San Francisco and
talked with men there, that they were
glad to get home but glad that they
went, ''and' he added, IT would not be
surprised to see hundreds and thous-
ands of them appear again at the re-
cruiting stations ready to re-enlist
after they have been home a few
weeks He said he. heard no COM
plants from the men of their treatment
while in the Philippines except that
some complained that Otis had not
allowed them to do more fighting and
thought that had they been in com
mand they would have handled the
situation better and whipped the insur-
gents sooner, but never saw pri-
vate soldier who did not have that
opinion of his commanding officer"
And so on at great length.
Now it is evident there is something
wrong with Wilson. Either he did
not show himself west of Chicago or he
met great many who are opposed to
imperialism. He could not go into any
miscellaneous collections of men any
where in the west without meeting q
great many anti-imperialists. Above
all, he could not have met the return
ing soldiers at San Francisco without
meeting many who were opposed to the
presidents policy of forcible annexa-
ton, and if he met these men he GER
tainly found many complaints. If Will
son is man of honor and is correctly
rep orted the re turning soldiers are the
rankest hypocrites. We do not believe
it
! The manager of the farm department.
of the Mckinley administration either
knows nothing OF the sentiment of the
west or is playing to deceive somebody.

San Francisco, Oct. 1s.-Maj. Gen.
Shafter received the following tele-
gram from from the secretary Of war
yesterday:
"By direction of the president Maj.
Gen. William r. Shafter, United

u. s. Az is retired from active service
Oct. 16, 1899, as a brigadier general Of
the United States army only under

main in command Of the department
of California and of. the Columbia un.
der his commission as major general,
United States volunteer, until further
orders" .-
Gen. Shafter will probably be re-
tanned in the service until the work Of
sending the latest army of volunteers
has been accomplished, and perhaps
longer. The law relating to the volun-
teer officers of the Spanish-American
war who remained in the service after
the close Of the war provides that they
retain their commissions until July,
1901.
