The country is to be congratulated that
there is one source of information re-
gardjng the Philippine Islands which cam
not be damned up by General Otis i'm
perialistic censor. The gallant volunteers
who have just arrived in this country
from the seat of war cannot be muzzled,
and through them the country is slowly
obtaining an intelligent idea Of the stu
alton. The record which these return
ing soldiers made in the trenches, fording
streams and lighting the 're5el' F~ilipinos
precludes any idea that they speak from
any Interested motives.
They al agree on one thing, and h
Is that General Otis is a failure. and that
1t will require an ADLER commander than
he and a much larger army than that
which ne thinks sufficient to put down the
rebellion.
They also speak contemptuousiy OF the
Islands and their inhabitants, and declare
that they are not worth the good Ameri-
can olOCu duU dSdSuiC AtS
poured out upon their worthless soil. How
much these soldiers think of their COM
manding general and the cause for which
they risked their lives in the Island
swamps n jungies is amply demon
strated by the fact hat only one man in
lhe Nebraska regiment re-enlisted.
What effect these startling facts Will
have upon the self-satisfed administra-
lion at Washington remains to be seen
In the light of the fulsome despatch
which the President and his former Sec
rotary of war recently sent to General
Otis, saying that they were perfectly sat
isHed with the work he had accomplished
and that they believed that he had done
the best he could under the circum-
stances, it is reasonable to believe that
these reports of the soldiers will be treat
ID with the same contempt as We're the
protests Of the reputable newspaper cor
respondents at Manila.
The American people will not tolerate
this thing much longer and when they
awake there will be a day of reckoning
for the Mckinley administration.

At first blush it would appear that
s.Brush Up" Bradley mas made a colossal
blunder in announcing that there will be
no Baby Parade at Asbury Park this
summer. OF all the attractive attractions
which the ex-senator from the Borough
of Phooiery has adopted to Barnumize
his board walk, none has been more pop
ular than the Baby Parade. He or she
who does not care for children and does
not love to see them in all Their fnfantile
glory as displayed in this parade is in the
very small minority. and is not worth
considering anyhow. 1t is, therefore, not
strange that a great popular cry has
gone up for the reconsideration Of the
sFounder's'' resolution and for the hold
ing of a baby parade as usual.
There is a growing suspicion that this
was Mr.. Bradley's little game. Those
who know his methods hint that he never
seriously contemplated abolishing this
popular performance 1t is suspected tina
he only caused the announcement to be
made in order that a wild public clamor
might go up for the parade to be held,
whick would attract public attention,
bring greater crowds to Asbury Park and
increase the receipts at the Founders s.
lighthouses and other money getting con-
t~rfvances.
The Senator is not half as silly a mem
her at Asbury Park as he was at Trenton.
