Smyrna times., 1899-06-28

The Commencement exercises of
Delaware College at Newark last week
was one of the most successful that
this popular Institution has had for
years. The commencement occasion
is a time of renewal of old acquaint-
ance, and perhaps there is none so sim
cere and lasting as that existing be-
tween students. The feeling for the
old ALm0 Mater never dies. The
trustees had knotty question before
them at their last meeting that of CO.
education. The feeling to keep the
girls out only had one majority when
the vote was reached. The charge is
made that the boys are afraid the girls
will carry away most of the honors in
scholarship. The question will come
up at the next meeting of the trustees.
Smyrna times., 1899-06-28

SECRETARY of War, Alger, has been
the subject of much censure, much of
which has fallen to President McKin-
ley because he did not remove Alger
from the Cabinet 1t now appears that
Alger has his mind on the Sena-
torship of Michigan, and if he succeeds,
it will be a great relief to the Presi-
dent. He has made an alliance with
Gov. Pingree, both of whom announce e
themselves as opposed to trusts, and
are in favor of choice of U. S., Sena-
tors by direct vote of the people.
81 do not believe in the concentra-
ton of wealth." said the Secretary.
Monopoly forces the middleman out
of commercial existence, and the re-
suit is disastrous to the masses of the
people. am also opposed to the Sc
lection of United States Senators by
legislative vote. Their election by
direct vote of the people will do away
with much political intriguing, and is
bound to come, although it may take
years to accomplish it. Senator Bur-
rows will doubtless assist Senator
Macmillan in his campaign for re-
election, but l shall enter the contest
with all possible strength"
Smyrna times., 1899-06-28

1T was thought that the Filipinos
would cease to fight and ask for peace
after their serious defeat a month ago,
but it seems that they have been
greatly encouraged by the attacks on
the Government and believe that at the
next election a president will be
chosen who will be in favor of giving
them their independence. For the
same reason they believe that the west
ern regiments which are returning
home, because their time has expired,
are doing it because they are tired of
the war.
Although the present operations in
the Philippines are planned ON the
theory that the regulars and three
regiments of volunteers will constitute
the land forces, it is well understood
that the turn of events might require
the calling out of the entire body of
troops authorized by Congress at its
last session. Indeed, in many parts of
the country this course is urged now,
on the ground that an overwhelming
force would most promptly put down
the insurrection. From California has
already come the virtual pledge of
regiment, and no doubt many would
be offered in other States, should the
Government intimate a desire for
| them.
But it is evident that such troops, no
matter in what numbers, could not end
the affair off-hand. Our volunteers
have done splendidly in .Lszon, but
they were not raw recruits when they
began their campaign against the
Filipinos. They were enlisted last
year, during the war with Spain,
and had months upon months of train
ing, partly at home and partly in the
Philippines. Many took part in the
seige of Manila and the assault on its
works, and this experience was fol-
lowed by months of soldierly duty of
various sorts before the present war
broke out.
To supply the places of those coming
home suggests the error of Congress in
not reorganiziDg the military estab-
