The attempt Of certain enterprising in
dividuals to relieve President Mckinley
from the embarrassment attending the
"suzerainty" of the United States over
the polygamous. siave-holdlng, salary
grabbing sultan of Sulu having failed by
reason of the apathy of Spain and the
inmobility OF the lines of latitude and
longitude, the administration Is left to
face the conditions it has created. ana
to explain to the people what measures
It will take to suppress slave holding and
polygamy IN this new island possession.
But there is another matter pending in
congress regarding which the people or
the United States are anxious for infor-
nation. and that ts-what truth Is there
in the allegations that President McNin-
ley appointed polygamlsts to federal Of
fees in Utah?
This question was asked in congress,
and was referred to committee for in
vestIgation. That committee met to con-
slider the allegations, and called for the
production Of the papers relating to post
office appointments In Utah. The postof-
fee department produced certain papers,
and the assistant postmaster general re-
quested that these papers be examined In
executive session, and not made public.
THIS request was granted by the COM
mittee. and there the matter stands.
Unless these reports and papers contain
something that is grossly improper and
scandalous- some malfeasance or mis-
feasance on the part of some high official
1T is not probable that such a singular
course regarding them would have been
adopted The public has a right to know
how it came about that polygamists were
appointed to federal Offices the public
has right to know who recommended
such persons for appointment, and if they
were aware that they were recommend
ing polygamists; the public has also thu
right to know if President Mckinley was
misled as to the character of these APP
pointees, and if so. who mlsIed him; or
If the president was not misled, did he
know that he was appointing polygamists
to federal offices, and If so, why did he
appoint them?
The public is prepared, now that the
case of the polygamist congressman from
Utah is disposed of, to witness congress
deal In an equally drastic manner with
polygamists who now hold or have held
federal offices. and nothing less than

ST. PAuL,s NEW PAPER.

The streets Of st. Paul were enlivened
yesterday afternoon by swarm of news
boys crying 1.-THE st. Paul Daily News"
This is the new evening paper whose ad-
vent has been heralded for a month and
whose appearance has been anticipated
with pleasure.
1t Is a most creditable folio, and the
G o b g extends the right hand of fellow
ship most heartily. There is a wide field
open in st. Paul for second evening
newspaper, and 1t is confidently expected
that the Daily News will fill 1t accepta-
bly,. The bright appearance and crisp
jauntiness of this latest venture indicate
that 1t will do so. 1t claims that 1t is
here to stay, and there is every reason
to believe that 1t will achieve the sue
cess which its first issue would seem to
warrant.
1t is understood that the new paper is
strongly backed financially, 1hd its edito-
rial staff has been selected with excellent
Judgment and from among the best in
the profession.

In parliament an oniooker would have
had no idea that anything unusual had

in the house of lords. and there were
only four ladies in the gallery of peer
eSses. Lord Transformers statement only
evoked shadow of enthusiasm. In the
mousse or commons the war was not men,
toned until Z O'Clock. but the house was
crowded, and there were evidences of
strong suppressed feeling. Finally man
arose and asked II any official news had
been received from South Africa that had
not been communicated. Amid a profound
hush, Mr., Balfour arose, holding a slip
OF paper, and read Gen. Buffers dispatch
from Nelthorpe, beginning: II have just
returned from Ladysmith." The whole
house burst into a shout of joy, follow
ed by prolonged cheers.

LONDON, March 2-Spencer Wilkinson,
in the Morning Post, says:
Lord Roberts has taken The true meas
ure of the Beers. and has thereby shown
his mastery of what Napoleon called the
divine part of the art of war.
No doubt the chapter of British re-
verses Is now closed. He would be bold
strategist who could now offer to the
Boer leaders plan of campaign prom
Using ultimate success.
Lord Roberts will soon have a force
of $4,000 The Boer commander-in-chief
can now hope for little from strategy
From his interior lines he Is not strong
enough, while contending with one army,
to strike with effect against the other.
He may possibly attempt to hold Gen.
Butler at the passes leading out of Ma
tall where a small force, at some risk
to itself, can cause considerable delay.
Meantime he can gather his forces in the
Free State for resistance to Lord Rob-
ertS
'If Lord Kitchener is at Arundel 1t
would seem to imply an intention to re-
store the railways, and to open direct
communication with Bloemfontein.
THE statement that a force Of Beers
under Commandment Dutoit has crossed
the Vaal river at Fourteen Streams ac-
counts, perhaps, for portion of Gen.
Cronjes army. and this portends further
trouble for Mafelzing. 1t looks possible
that the Boer forces may now collapse
altogether. although that must not be
counted upon. Lord Roberts, however,
will soon have troops enough to al with
any guerrilla warfare, and, altogether,
there is no need for further uneasiness.
