General Otis says he needs an army
of thirty thousand men to conquer
the Filipinos. This follows on the heels
of the administration statement that
the Filipinos were ready to surrender.
There would be no need of more sol
diers if the Filipinos were ready to
give up. The truth is that we are fol-
lowing in Spain's footsteps.

The South is in favor of holding

WHY NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS ARE
HAPoY,

No North Carolina Republican, politi-
clan has been seen to smile
since last November, though some
of them did give sickly grin when the
Supreme Court went Republican, in
the Day ease. But now they are smil-
ing again. The Presidents order,
smashing the civil service rules opens
the door for jobs to the faithful. That's
why they smile.
The new order gives the Republican
politicians nearly five hundred positions.
There are about 400 revenue employees
in the western district and about 300
in the eastern district. The President
the civil service. Collectors Duncan
and Harkins will have plenty of ap-
pointnents to make.
The Asheville Citizen reports our
friend j. Wiley Shook as very happy
over the Presidents new order. He
10 doubts feels that it was the result
the President more than Il year ago
The Citizen quotes Mr.. Shoook as say
ing:
I'VE started the bali to rolling in this
district and we should feel pleased over
the outcome. as the offices removed from
civil service in this district are about
one tenth Of the number exempted for
th., -l,,l., ,tIx hnJ1
800 places in the district. when there is
a full force ON, and only three offices
are left under civil servce-two clerk
ships in the Asheville office and one
in THE Winston office. Senator rI.itch-
ard and those who were with him in
the effort to bring about this result de-
serve credit carrying their point
Pritchard and J. Wiley doubtless
think it will help them regain power
in North Carolina. Let us whisper to
them: Make the most of the Federal
jobs. No Republican will hold office
in North Carolina after 1900 fos twenty
years
We have no criticism to make of the
Il
Il man ought to stand by his party
pledges will find it difficult to reconcile
his latest order with the following
Iiank in the platform upon which Nc
Kinley was elected:
''The civil service law was placed on
the statute book by the Republican par
ty, which has always sustained it, and
we renew orr repeated declarat ions that
it shall be honestly and thoroughly en-
forced and extended wherever practical
ble''
In his inaugural address, Mr.. McKin-
ley went still further and said:
Reform in the civil service must go
on. But the changes should be real and
genuine. not perfunctory or prompted by
zeal in behalf of any party because 1t
happens to be in power.
AS a member of CongressI voted and
spoke in favor of the present law, and
| shall attempt its enforcement in the
spirit i'll which it was enacted.
THE purpose in view was 10 secure
the most efficient service of the best
men who would accept office under the
Government, retaining faithful and de-
voted public servants in office, but
shielding none under the authority of
any rule or custom who are Inefficient
incompetent or unworthy.
.'I'he best interests of the country de-
nland this, and the people heartily APP
prove the law wherever and whenever
it has been thus administered
We know civil service Democratic
clerks who voted for Mckinley because
they think the SYSTEM is Thoroughly en-
forced and extended by taking 1000
positions out of the civil service?

der Duncan Act.


The following opinion has been ren.
dered by Acting Solicitor General r. c.
Gortner at the instance of District
Attorney A. j. Nisbett, during the

Answering your inquiry Of recent
date, referred to me in the absence of
Solicitor General Bartlett, as to what
allowance or compensation district at

lection Of delinquent taxes, I beg to
state that district attorneys are entitled
ito per cent of the amount collected
in any civil proceeding" under the pro-
visions of section 2390, Compiled Laws
of 1897. This statute was apparently
held in view by the thirtythi leg =
lative assembly in the enacting of chap
t. % of the laws of 1S99-the Duncan
revenue law. Note the provision therein
that, in sales to the counties, mo fees
shall be paid to the assessor, collet tor
or district attorney until the meney
shall be realized by the sale of certifi-
Gates or redemption Of the property"
All these officers are compensated by
percentage on the amounts realized.
"The district attorney, under section
1880, Compiled Laws, is also entitled to
the fee of IS for the instltuting of the
suit and general services.
After the institution of said suit, all
matters connected Herewith should be
transacted and carried out under the
control Of the court, and the moneys re-
ceived on sales by the collector to salts
fly the judgments, should be paid into
court to the credit of said judgments,
and by the court remitted to the treas

The Government Lost Big and Important
Battle.

Kingston, Jamaica, November 4.-Co-
: Iombian advices dated October 81, and
private direct advices contradict the
story received by censored cables Of the
destruction of the Colombian insurgent
fleet which now resolves itself into the
capture of few sail boats conveying

resulted in the defeat of the govern
ment forces, with the loss Of 300 killed
and 100 wounded. The army was routed
and it's equipment captured. The vessel
arrived at Barranquilla from Curacao
with 900 insurgents, endorsements
and quantity of arms and munitions.
The revolution is spreading rapidly.

desertions from the government, owing
to the disruption of the Conservative
party, due to financial troubles. with
which the Liberals profess to be able to
cope should the revolution succeed.

MAN WHO GOT WELL.
He Went Into the Country and Worked on
Sheen Ranch,

Edgar Wilson came in from his sheep
ranch in southern Santa Fe county this
morning to spend the winter in the city.
Mr. Wilson came to Santa Fe six years
ago, apparently in the last stages OF tu-
berculosis. To the wonderment OF his
friends he steadily recovered, and to-
day looks robust. His example of going
into the country to live during the sum-
mer should be initiated by all lungers
who seek employment. 1t is much easier
to find employment on ranch or on
farm than in a store OF an Office, and 1t
does not take 80 large means in New
Mexico to buy farm or ranch or to
take up homestead as it does to buy
out an established business OF to start
q new business.

SHAFTER COMPLAINS.
Says That Sick Soldiers on tho Tartar We're
Neglected.

San Francisco, November 4.-The Ex-
aminer says the most sensational report
of military board inquiry ever sent to
the war department from this city was
forwarded to Washington from head
quarters by Major General Shafter a
few days ago. The document consists of
nearly 100 typewriter pages, and con-
tains severe criticism on the methods
employed by the officers in charge of
sick soldiers who returned from the
Philippines on the transports Tartar
and Newport October 10.
Upon Major Rafter, surgeon of the
goth Kansas volunteers, who came back
on the Tartar, the heaviest censure Is
laid. Colonel Metcalf, of the same regi-
ment, who commanded the troop ship,
General Funston being the only passen-
ger, is indirectly referred to. Many 9TH
er officers are given hard measure of
criticism. There were about forty sick
soldiers on those ships, nearly all suf-
fering from dysentery. Their condition
was deplorable Three died after arri-
val.

and part of the men had to sleep on
