UTTER LACK OF SYSTEM.
An Incident in British War Office
Connected with Queens Recent
Appeal to Old Soldiers.

A curious instance of the utter lack
of system that prevails in the British
war office occurred Immediately after
the queens proclamation was pub
lished, appealing to the patriotism of
her old soldiers and asking them to re-
enlist under the governments new plan
to strengthen the army. There focked
to headquarters large numbers of men
anxious TO answer the queens request,
but they We're all turned away because
the war Office had not yet issued any
detailed instructions regarding the ac-
ceptance of such offers nor formula ted
any specific plan for putting into ac-
ton the general proposals adopted by
parliament. The criticism prevalent is
that either the queens letter was pre-
mature or the war Office was dilatory.
The latter is generally accepted as cor
rect and not without bitter comment.

A FUND FOR CORRUPTION.
The Trusts Will De Let Alone so Long
as They Give Up to Mark
Hanna.

Never has the United States wit
messed such a campaign for the pres
idency as that now impending prom
Uses to be. There has in the past been
debauchery of the franchise, corrup-
ton of the peoples ballot but not on
any such scale of magnitude as is now
being prepared for the coming cleo
ton.
In order to promote republican sue
cess a campaign fund of $25,oOo,Ooo
is to be raised, and how? By the con-
tributions of the rank and file of re-
publicans throughout the nation? By
the voluntary offerings of those theor
lists who see in republican doctrines
the essence of political wisdom? Not
at all. 1t will be collected from the
trust benefciaries Of the Mckinley
administration. Two hundred COM
binations of capital, representing
2,o00,000,O00, will contribute the
money. Mark Hanna recently came
out in an interview absolving trusts
from blame. They are doing no harm
and should be let Alone" he said.
Soon followed the announcement of
the gigantic fund to be raised to
further McKinley's candidacy. The
trusts will be 'let alone" so far as
legislation by congress and prosecu-
ton under the law by McKinley's at
torney general go, but they will not
be "let alone" by the illustrious Cleve-
lander until they have contributed
their pro rata of the corruption fund
Think of what such q sum means
when improperly used. 1t cannot be
honestly utilized. Such an amount is
many times more than the most ex-
travagant manager of an honest cam
paign could spend. 1t is an amount Of
money which, if divided among 75,Oo0,-
900 people, the population approx
imately of this country, would give
each SO 1-3 cents. The usual reckon
ing is that one in five of the popula-
ton is q voter. Then this Hanna
campaign fund is great enough to
allow each voter more than $165.
Twice this amount, $3.50, would be
available for each OIL the necessary
votes to gain popular majority.
But the money will not be spent that
way. 1t will be put in large sums in
the doubtful and close states. These
will be purchased outright. If the
money was to be expended pro rata
in the country the Mckinley manag-
ers in Denver might reasonably ex-
pect a contribution exceeding $4,000
from the national committee.
In addition to the corrupt might Of
this immense sum, there will be an
other element in the campaign even
more reprehensible. 1t is the policy
of force and intimidation, employed
quite largely in 1896, and to be per-
fected in it's workings this year. The
$4,000, 100000 of capital, represented in
the campaign fund, viii also contrib
ute to republican success by compel
ling the hundreds of thousands of
men dependent upon them to support
the Mckinley ticket.
Democratic success may not be i'm
possible in spite of all the money the
trusts can throw into the campaign,
If only the vote is free and fair. But
if in the large manufacturing centers
of the close states intimidation of the
voters is employed successfully, there
can be but one result of the cam
paign- Mckinley will be reelected

Bishop Potter's Misfit.

In recent speech Bishop Potter
explained his conversion to imperial
ism thus:
eff my son would come to me and
say he proposed to marry young Gre
ole women with seven childrenI would
call him great ass. But if he came to
me and said he had already contracted
such a marriage would still try to
sustain intimate relations with him.
What we have done in the Philippines
has established just such a relation as
that, and it would be a source of ma
tional mortiticati ton if we gave up our
responsibilities because we find tnem
difficult.
The New York World makes such a
happy reply to this that it deserves a
place in every well regulated scrap
book. The World says: ga parallel to
to be true must be equal in all assem-
tial points. The bishops parallel fails
in this: We (meaning the nation as
represented by Mr.. Mckinley have not
married the creole Filipina. We have
repudiated the idea of marrying her.
TO state the case exactly, we bought
the young creole woman with seven
children from Spain, paying $50 ,O0O,-
600 for the lot: and our purpose, so far
as aVowed is to make of her a concu-
bine. She is outside the constitution.
She is never to be admitted to the I'M
ion. She is to be kept for our pleasure
and profit, and incidentally of course
las all subject women and nations are.
for her own enlightenment and 'ele-
vation.' We shall send her mission
aries, and perhaps even a bishop or
two, but no marriage service will ever
be read.
"Bishop Potter's parallel fails even
more fatally in this particular: The
creole women with seven children
has not given her consent. She is re-
sisting the conquest and the proposed
enforced relation with the determine
ton OF Spartan mother defending her
honor. She has sacrificed her children
IN this fierc struggle for freedom and
independence with a desperation that
would have been deemed heroic in any
other age and nation. We-the Chris
tian people for whom Bishop Potter
speaks killed more of the Eli
pinos in one year and destroyed more
of their property than Spain sacrificed
to her lust in a hundred years of OBJ
preston. And still the young creole
woman and her surviving children re-
sist our benevolent intentions, max
ing of every jungle an ambuscade, of
every village center of Sedition. 1t
might indeed be "a source of national
modification five gave up our respon-
sibilitieS because we find them diff
cult. But the Filipinos have never
accepted our sovereignty, nor has this
nation sanctioned the responsibility
of subjugating and ruling them, which
Mr.. Mckinley assumed without au-
thority. 1t is never too late to retire
from criminal aggression. There is
no modification in conceding the
right of 100000 people to life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness in
their own Wasy.'s

The situation in congress reminds
one OF the story which Jas. G. Blaine
used to tell of the Maine legislature.
The chaplain of the Maine senate was
greatly exercised at that time by the
conduct Of the members in continual
~ playing politics. Finally he could
stand 1t no longer, and one morning
offered up the followin petition: "Oh,
Lord, have compassion. Teach these.
Thy servants, wisdom. Teach them
understanding. Teach them to follow
the paths of duty and righteousness
and leave the result of the next cleo
ton in Thy omnipotent hands,"
