Republicans Already Alarmed az the
Legitimate Results OF Their

The good men at Washington are
said to be alarmed. We should think
they would he. We have no doubt that
when the time comes to take the cover
of the methods Of benevolent assimi-

robberies will be discovered there
which will leave the Cuban post Office
business quite In the shade. There
have been very significant hints from
time to time that a plentiful stock of
scandals was accumulaiing at Manila.
II Is amusing to read in the rcpub-
lican organs that the republican sen
ators and representatives in congress
are beginning 90 complain that they
have not been treated with frankness

will fall into the hands Of the demo-
