Rev. Pfaus in his lecture may have
left the impression with some that
he opposed the adoption OF the peace
treaty. Such Is not the use. That
he does not favor expansion or "im-
perialism" to the extent of making
the Philippines permanent colonial
possessions, may be true. What of
that? Neither do a majority of
Americans. No policy has been de-
clared or mapped out as to how the
Philippines shall be governed. That
Is a matter for congress to determine
In the future. The Rev. Pfaus does
believe that we should take the
islands under the treaty and eventu-
ally start the people in n government
OF their own. That we believe will
be found to be the position OF Presi-
dent Mckinley and the Republican
party. That the question will be
solved in a manner that will reflect
credit on congress and for the best
interests Of those most concerned
we have not the slightest doubt.

1t will lac remembered that soon
after war with Spain was declared,

appeared To hp some friction bctwccn

when thcs suddenly dropped Miles
ami turned their mud batteries Onthr

in their abuse oi the latter ever since.
This change wAs probably due tothc
fact that the latter was n little
closer To the administration, and
anything that would discredit the
administration in the eyes of the
people would he 40 much political
gain. The yellow Journals Of the
country had made such sensational
charges as to the conduct OF the war
that the president appointed n com
mission tn investigate the charges.
After sessions covering II period of
about three months II report has
been made which il very creditable
to Secretary Alger, and anything
but flattcring to General Miles. The
commission, after thorough investi-
cation into the charges made by

had been furnished the troops, under
contract with the government, says
in conclusion: "In view Of the facts
set forth the commission is of the
opinion that no refrigerated beef
furnished by contractors and issued
to the troops during the var with
Spain was subjected to or treated
with any chemicals by the con-
tractors or those In their employ"
General Miles will now have achance
to prove his charges before n board

no question hut that he has been In

GREENE MAY WIN.
Senator Rawlins Withdraws Objec-
tons to Sanpete Man.
Especial to The Herald)


Mt. Pleasant, Aug. 1S.-The ap
pointment of a census supervisor for
Utah. which has been hanging fire so
long. and which has been instrumental
in making the biggest kind OF a rup-
ture in the ranks of the Republican
party, underwent decided change yes
terday afternoon, and a change which
is undeniably in favor of Webster
Greene, the Mt. Pleasant aSpirant for
the position.
1t has been known for some time that
one of the stumbling blocks in Mr..
Greene's path was the refusal of Sen
ator Rawlins to recommend him TO the
president as a suitable occupant for the
position. In fact Mr.. Greene was in re-
ceipt of a communication from the
senator early this week, in which he
frankly stated that he had no per-
sonal knowledge of Greene's abilities.
being totally unacquainted with him,
and would not recommend him under
the circumstances, nor any one else,
for that matter. unless he was person.
ally positive of the applicants fitness
to perform the duties incumbent upon
the office. This letter was shown to
local Democrats of prominence and
several who are Intimately acquainted
with Senator RawlinS took the trouble
TO wire him in Mr.. Greene'S behalf. A
letter of inquiry followed which was
answered and yesterday the result of
this Democratic action was made ap-
parent in a telegram received by Mr..
Greene from Senator Rawlins.
The burden of this dispatch was to
the effect that he had wired Mr.. Mer-
Ram at Washington that he had no
further objection to Mr.. Greene's re-
ceiving the appointment and that he
would willingly endorse it if it was
made. Thus the wheel has taken a
revolution in favor of Mt. Peasants
applicant for the position.
The matter is not adding greatly to
the peace of the g. o. p. so greatly
desired just at present by the powers
that be. Letters are received here by
FIR. Greene from his friends in Salt
Lake City concerning the methods
adopted by the opposition in their at
temptS to turn him down, and the
reasons which are supposed to be
actuating them in their efforts in that
direction. These show that the breach
is daily widening in the ranks of the
party.
