WHEELER IN THE FIELD.

The presence! in the Philippines on active duty Of General Joseph Wheeler may make a considerable difference in public opinion about affa' rs in that re- zion before all is done For it is well known that he is not the scrt of man to take his opinion at seccnd hand from anybody, and his standing in the country is such that he will never have occasion to hesitate if he finds that there is reason to appeal directly to the president and to the people who are behind him respecting any error of management.
 General Wheeler will command greater confidence because Of his prac- ticaI experience. and also because Of his political position. He is a cOnspicu- ous southern leader of the party which seeks to make capital by attacking the course of the government in the Phil ppine islands. Democrats of the south and democrats of the nCTthern states also, will find it hard to peTsist in at tacks which such a man as General Wheeler refuses to support. If he con tradict5 the statements Cn which those attacks are based, it will be hard to convince fair and patriotic democrats that he is either ignorant or willfully misrepresenting the situaticn.-N. r..

THAT PROCLAMATION.

It was easy to foresee that an eX- posture of mining scheGnss calculated to defraud the uns0phisticatsd would prove unpopular with those who were fattening on the dishonest game, and it cannot be doubted Governor Murphy anticipated that enemies would be made by his warning against mining fakes. He is therefore entitled to credit for his display of courage re- gardless of consequences. No honest man can seriously object to an expos ure Of fraud. and it is clear that no genuine mining proposition in this ter TitOry has been, or ever will be. perma- nently injured by Governor Murphy 5 warning against the spurious stocks. It is, rot to be supposed that all our mines are, or ever will be, dividend paying investments, and it would seem quite proper that a warning should be sounded against such extrava gant statments as were made in favcr Of some se-caFed mines, which were barely prospects. This Governor Mur- phy has done. Who has better right to protect the good name Of the terri tory. If the governor has erred, time will disclose the fact ATizcna's fu- ture as la great mining country is too well assured to be greatly damaged by warning the guileless against fake mining schemes fcster5d within our lines and the mass of good citizens, regardless of party, beth in and out of the territory, are with the governor Cn this issue. So far the Citizen has observed that those cnly who pos sessed mining property of doubtful value, or perhaps still others who think they see a chance to make pjliti- h, I r1s-J T ,.1 governors proclamation From the manner in which our morning oontem- porary has joined the ranks of the disgruntled. finding fault with our governor fer performing a righteous duty, we are left to inser that it has mere tc, gain from fraud than from it's exposure Citizen.

NOT TEDDY.

The talk of Gcverncr Roosevelt f5r the vice presidency is renewed at the same time as the runners about the un- satisfactory condition of MT. Hobart's health Ssnatcr Lodge stands sponsor fer this latest RCcsevelt boom, in spite of the current belief that the gcverndr would not accept second place on the national ticket Imagine him in the quiet office Of vice president! The place would be irksome in the extreme unless he succeeded in infusing some of his vigor into it. It wculd De inter esting to make him vice president to see whether even he could raise the cffice above the commonplace Of dig nified level it now occupies. But Gov ernor Roosevelt wculd doubtless prefer another term at Albany, with the pos sibiIity Of a presidential nomination in 1904 kept steadily in view. If MT. Ho- bart cannot run again, the republican party need not lock to Albany for his ccessor.-PrCyidence Journal.

POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE.

The Louisville and Nashville rail- read a few days ago called in the pass of a Kentucky editor who persisted in supporting the GoebeI ticket. He eX- Ilained that he was not opposing the Louisville and Nashville because Of it's character as a railroad, but because it was taking sides in the political fight going cl. The road would not receive the explanation as satisfactory and he returned the pass with this def1nce: '.Ylcu demand that I surrender the free dcm of speech or the pass. l give up the pass. The influence of the little paper I edit is not very great, but it takes mor5. than a railroad pass to buy its influence CT muzzle it's utterances. I prefer walking, thank you, and re- taining that God-given privilege of eX- pressing my own sentiments where and when I d-n please" Only the true Kentuckian who knows how dear to the Kentuckian is the God-given right to do as he pleasc3 can appreciate the abIcYe.-GalveStJn News.

ADD TO CHICAGO PLATFORM.

Tha position of Colonel Bryan and Of all ether orthodox democrats as to the Chicago platform is this: Every word of the new declaration of inde- penGence is true. Netting can be talk en away from it. for it is an immortal and unohangeable vsTity. But addi- tions to it are permissible.
 One of the additions certain to be made will be 3 solemn examination of the octopus. Another addition will relate to ths Philippines. To be sure, the Americans may be in undlsputed possession of the Philippines by the time the next democratic national con ve1tion meets That will make no difference to the democrats. They never find out anything. They do net dwell in the land of facts. If they had lived in the days of the flood, they would have been fierce against increas- ing the navy Their business is gal lop;ng on nightmares. The trust is one Of these democratic steeds. The war in the Philippines is another.
 Well. when the committee on plat form is considering what shall be said about the Philippines, the resolutions passed by the (Nerw York Bryanites the ether night will be 1ound to serve the purpose best. Altgeld CT Lsntz or Tarvin. of Kentucky can be depended upon personally to conduct these reso- luticns:
 Resolved. That the war carried on by President Mckinley aga 'nst the Filipfnos is grossly immoral assault On American principles cf government and a cruel and brutal attempt to crush a weak people who are bravely ccn- tending for the exercise Of their God given right Of self government.
 Resolved. That we severely con- demn the action of Pres: dent Mckinley in relzeion to the Philippines in con- ducting the most cowardly and unjus- tifable war ever carried on in the his tory Of republics"

Admiral Dewey, learning that a British gunner had L;,en crippled by the explosion of cannon while firing a salute in honor of the great sailors arrival at Gibraltar, has5ened to the cot of the wounded man, talked with him at considerable length, inquired as tc his future, and left him a snug sum of money as a present from the Olympia's gallant crew. This kindly act was as characteristic of the ad- miral's whole nature as was the dash into Manila bay, and was but another Of the many incidents which have stamped George Dewey as among the truly great

All over the country iron and steel mills are crowded to their utmost ca pacity and work is blocked cn build ings and private and public improve ments by the inability of contractors to get materials. The railroads are hampensd by lack of cars to carry tho traffic. The American Manufacturer says that no living man ever saw "de- velopment get ahead of production to the. extent it has this present year., D and doubts if the present generation will see it again. History records no such a period for consumption and production. The scarcity applies to almost all metals and all trades arc embarrassed" Buildings are delayed, 8 halt is called on projected enter prises, railroads arc sh-Tt of cars, and car builders cannot finish orders be- cause of the shortage.

SENSIBLE FOREIGN ADVICE.

The London Spectator, a political
 review of much prominence in the
 United Kingdom, in commenting on
 the Philippine situation, says:
 We shall, of course, be told by pes
 simistically inclined Americans that
 cur Philippine programme is all very
 fine, but 1t would break down because
 1t Is not possible to find an American
 with the experience necessary for a
 successful governors general. The kind of man required, we shall be told, does not exist, and cannot be created. To
 which we beg leave to reply that the kind of man required does exist, though new in the raw, and that his ] development will afford no great diff i fculty. We do not Eno'T whether Col. Roosevelt can be spared from Albany, but if the governoG' Of the state of New York could be given the appoint ment If governor-g2neIal of 'the Phil 1 fppires, we have not the slightest doubt that in a coup1o of months he would have caught en- to his work, and that In a years time, or less, he would have prepared all the instru- nlents, military and civil, necessary for a complete settlement of the is lands.
 Admiral Dewey would, of course, be an ideal govern3r-general but in all probability the navy department would deem it impossible to surrender one of their must brilliant command CTS. Questions of actual men aTp, however, for discussion in America not in London. All we want to insist cn is that America can perfectly we'll produce the right stump of man, and that he can do tke work as well as any Anglo-Indian, provided he is given a fair chance, and allowed and instruct ed to work under proper conditions. We may recapitulate what we believe those conditions to be: CD There must be no attempt to hurry matters, CT to get things rushed through by the use of a vast army of white troops. @ A governor general with absolute powers and free hand must be appoint ed (3) The work of conquest must be deliberately prepared fer, and military force suitable to the duties in hand organized. (4) An efficient native army must be raised and off cered by Americans. (5) The con- quest must be accompanied bit by bit. and care taken that capable civil ad- ministrators shall folI0w close on the conQuering troops. (6) Last, and per haps most important of all, the Fili- pinos must be taught that the Amer jeans have come to stay, and that the permanence of American government is the central and essential element in the situation. All this, we admit. sounds almost fOolishly simple and el- ementary i3ihen set forth gray'ely as advice to the American people. We can only excuse our temerity to cur selves, by remembering that it is tce simplest things which are most often forgotten in an emergency, and that a man making a new departure or in a monont of difficulty generally ig- ncres in practice the faults which he knows quite well in theory.
 The policy outlined above, with slight notifications, is the method of procedure which President Mckinley has already indicated will be cur plan Of action in the far east
