GETTING THE NEWS.

On Wednesday last the Record
Union" published in full deeply inter
esting report by Mr.. Blake, representa-
tive of the Red Cross Association in the
Philippines 1t was from a letter report
made by him of the conditions about
him in the camps and fields near Ma
Mia. 1t recited with graphic detail the
outrages of the Fihpinos, their barbar-
Gus acts in firing upon the hospital
workers and the Red Cross agents while
attending upon the wounded, and their
violation Of all the decencies of hu-
nanity in warfare. 1t was a notable
report, and excited much comment and
profound interest. Yesterday the San
Francisco "Call" printed the major por-
ton of the same report as telegraphed
to it from Washington, and purporting
to be extracted from Mr.. Blake's re-
port sent on to Washington. The Cali
considers it of sufficient Importance
to put it up with a sensational. head
and in triple column. The Record
Union," however, two days prior to
that publication presented the same
matter to its readers, procuring the
news through its San Francisco CORE
spondent. Thus it will be seen that the
San Francisco paper was far to the
rear with this important news account,
and that what was given to the public
bx, +lo asI2 acord- TTnior,iv davc on iS now
telegraphed from Washington as fresh
matter and is accepted by the San
Francisco press, when the same news,
though with more fullness, could have
been taken from these columns by our
Bay contemporaries two days earlier.

HoFFECKnR AND MKINLEY.

Congressman Hoffecker renders his
posltion more humillating by his lack
OF posiuveness and nerve in dealing
with President Mckinley Any other
man in his position would 90 to the
president and say;
Mr.. Mckinley. am the only Repub-
ncan congressman from the Delaware
district. Colonel Henry A. DUPONT a
man who holds no official relation with
the administration, is making the
nominations which rightfully belong to
me. My friends and have
protested against this, and thus
far those protests have gone nm
needed. Now. / want you to tell ne
frankly. and honestly, whether you in
tend to recognize me or Colonel Du-
Pont, to the end that l may return to
Delaware and give definite information
to ny people"
No doubt President Mckinley would
after trimming and hedging for a time
give him a positive reply He could
then return to Delaware and tell his
friends his position, and nothing more
would be expected from him. for we all
know what the presidents answer
would be-
But Congressman Hofecker has a
right to know. He should not be ex-
pected to add to the humiliation which
President Mckinley has put upon him
By running down to Washington al
short intervals and begging the presi-
dent for crumbs when he should be an
honored guest at the festal board oI
the Republican spoilsmen.
Perhaps Mr. Hoifeoker Is unwilling
to hear the unpalatable truth from the
presidents own lips.

COLLINS AND THE REPUBLICAN.
When the Daily Republican sticks its
hoary head above the waters Of the
styx to discuss a public question. one
feels constrained to pause and listen in
wonder At times the statements made
are so remarkable that an answer IS de-
manded. on Saturday evening it ex-
plotted the following editorial utter

were made to secure his pardon. In
with other newspapers having
the public good at heart we opposed
this movement, and contributed to IS
defeat. Collins served out his term and
is now free man without citizenship.
BY outraging the privileges Of an cleo
tor he has deprived himself Of those
privileges. This is just and in perfect
accord with the purposes OF the men
who drafted the new Constitution and
proclaimed it. We are surprised to find
the Daily Republican posing as the
champion Of such an offender against
benehcent constitutional provisions.
We now pass to the case of e. d. G.
Hegeman. His guilt was never proved.
He was never tried. It was impossible
to try him. There was no law to cover
the offenses alleged against him. Both
indictments were quashed Not a wit
ness was heard. Assuming, for the
sake of argument, that Mr.. Hegeman
AAA AuP AAAASo WHICH MtA1 tiASE w
against him-and, bear IN mind, he de-
nies 1.-THE was guilty of no breach of
either constitutional or statutory law,
for there was no law against what he
did. The court decided that the statute
in relation to forgery did not apply to
his case, because his offense would not
have defrauded anyone. It also held
that he had not altered the bill or the
legislative journal, because the endorse
ment on the back Of bill were placed
there merely as a convenience to the
clerks, and constituted neither part of
the bill nor part Of the Journal. Mr..
Hegeman might have stood up in court
and said: yes, I did it-and what are
you going to do about it?' And the
court would have been powerless to
act. The offenses charged against Mr..
lHegeman were moral and not consti-
tutional or statutory.
Thus it will be seen that the Daily
Republican is ignorant of its subject
and the comparison it makes carries
with it no weight whatever
