WHY WAS II DONE?

1t would be Interesting. and very like
ly instructive, II President Mckinley
would condes.end 10 explain ju.t why it
is that the employees of the folding de-
partment of the United States Bureau
of Education are kept hard at work dis
tributinc the auti-Boer literature issued
by the Imperial South African Associa-
ton OF No. 6j Victoria street, West
minister. London.
Some days have passed now since
The Republic exposed this employment
--f United States Government clerks i'll
the service of the British Government
AMI for the benefit of British COM
I.any. The incident is unique in nature.
II has not heretofore been Uncle Sans
policy to turn his Governmental depart
menTs in Washington over To the control
ot Great Britain. For this reason. if for
no other, President Mckinley should
state why he has seen lit to make Eng
lish underlings of American public ser
wants.
The President is in error II he be-
lieyes that policy of silence regarding
this incident will minimize its influence
on the public mind. The American peo-
pie have as little regard for coward
Of their blood as for Tory of their
blood. If Mr.. Mckinley has really sur
rendered ba. and baggage TO British in
fiuence he SHOULD be brave enough To
tell why. 1t cannot be that he has done
SO simply through an Irresistible anglo
mania which makes it impossible for
him to oppose English desires on any
point

Duty. NOT BRANADO.

In the matter of the heavy loss in Of
ficers Of the Ninth United States In
fantry in the assault OF the allied force,
at TienfsIn it Will be difficult to con
vince The American people that the late
Colonel Liscum and his fellow officers
were guilty Of reckless folly in freely
exposing themselves To the enemy :
fire
/ ne crisis was ole which called for
audacity in action. 1t was only by
sheer and logged pluck that the allied
forces were saved from crushing dis
aster III a desperate situation which
they finally developed into glorious
victory. The American regiment com

did part in the hard lighting. 1t is plain
that Colonel Liscum knew the demands
of the situation. Get at them If you
can, but don't retreat. boys" We're his
dying words. Keep on firing
/ he explanation of the Ninth Infau-
try's losses is that its officers saw their
duty and did it thoroughly. The over
whelmin. Chinese forces had 10 be
whipped, and the American regiment
was expected 10 be an important factor
in the whipping. Colonel L.iscum and
tine other officers of the Ninth did what
they saw was necessary. A sense Of

So 0p0o0 IL Mr.. Flory and Mr.

S1oo@WS. II Mr.. Flory and Mr..
O'Falion sincerely disagreed with those
men who with Senator Dr:Ihelle opposed
| the bill: if they believed that Il better
public service, with nn counter alan-
cling evils. would result from the conSoli-
dalton. it would be unfair to charge
them with improper conduct, whether
they were on the ma jority or minority
side
But the fact is that these two Re-
publican State candidates supported the
bill, Mr.. OFallon, aS a member Of the
House, hayin. been the leading advo-
cate on the floor: and that Mr.. Flory
has lately made abusive attacks on
Governor Stephens for signing the bill.
The giSt of Flnry'S offending is his
hypocrisy. If Governor stephens com
mittcl Il fault. what WAS the fault Of
p'Fall"n. Republican candidate for At
tnrnry General:
In the Senate there We're nine Re
puhiicanS. All voted for the hill. In
the House there were lifty-right Re
puhlitTinS. Furty-ciEhj voted for the
bill: six voted against il. Two were all

Sill Of thrs" Republican legislators,
practically the solid Republican strength
in the General Assembly:

who voted the same WAY:

dilemma proves him not only until for

the campaign pledge of Mr.. Fiory

tions rf citizens will lac lo,l 10y the nose
when the header places himself "n rec

Within a week we shall see the In
TeStigatins Committees report. II Mr.
kratz is found in company with Messrs.
Virgins and Hodges he will set at rest
these whispered assertions. We say
NeSsrS. Virgins and Hodges brcausr
they are two members Of the Council
In whose ability and integrity the pub
lie has special confidence. Ii is hoped
that the report of the committee will
lie unanimous. But If there are two
findings, the public will be certain that
the one signed by Messrs. Virgins and
Hodges is the right one; and the public
would be glad to see Mr.. Kraft yindi-
cate himself by adding his conclusion to
theirs.
II Is not conceivable that President
Meier appointed Mr.. Carroll ON merit
alone. The craftsmanship of the Ways
anu Means Commiitce-larIicu in
the present condition OF the ciiy's at
fairs-is the most difficult To nh af
Council positions. Mr.. Carroli's expert
ence is short and nobody ever heard
that tie possesses unusual qualifications
10 compensate for lack Of experience.
Events will probably explain the ap-
polntment. Ii will cause regret if Mr.
kratz turns up at once with part Of the
explanation

HYPOCRISY TIE ISSUE

Mr.. Flory's organ is not pursuing the
course which would refute the charge
of insincerity In the street car consoIida-
ton matter. When the Globe Democrat
says that The Republic is trying to
saddle on the legislative minority the
sins of the majority, Mr.. Flory's hypoc-
risy, the real Issue, remains unex-
planned.
Flory raised the issue himself by at
lacking Governor Stephens for signing
the consolidation bill
Whether the enactment of the con-
solidation was sin or not is a question
over which opinions may honestly diff
fer. The GIobe-Democrat has never, We
believe, declared what it thinks about
the merits Of the law. The only impor-
tant change the law made WAS placing
street railroads on footing with steam
railroads and permitting them TO con-
solidate on a basis of capital exceeding

4 PARTY Rim ~ SEED

In one news item was contained the
announcement from Washington that
the resignation OF Perry :. Heath rs
First Assistant Postmaster General had
Just been received, 10 go into effect
July II. In another the same day the
information came from Chicago that
Perry :. Heath, AS Secretary of the Re
publican National Committee, bald just
arrived in that city and held Il long con
ference with Chairman Hanna in which
the plans for the Republican national
campaign We're discussed.
Mr.. Heatl's resignation of his post m
der the Mckinley administration was
due TO the fact that he was held re-
sp-nsible for the Havana postal scan
dals the first development of Republic
an carpetbag rule in Cuba. Republican
organs and stump speakers are taking
great credit TO their party for the
prompt punishment of those implicated
in this scandal Of loot and plumber. 1t
proves the virtue of the party, they say,
that it has not hesitated TO rebuke and
remove its faithess servants.
Mr.. Heath is evidently. however, Il
good campaigner with whose services
Mari, Hanna is not willing to dispense.
Thus it is that. although required in
Difference to public sentiment To resign
from the Post Office Department, he in
nevertheless retained as an officer OF the
Republican National Committee. He
will assist Boss Hanna in the Republic
an effort TO re-elect Mr.. Mckinley To the
Presidency Of the United States.
Major Eathbonr, the discredired and
removed head of the Cuban post office
division, has also proved his value as Il
canpaigner. He was very useful to
Mark Hanna in the latter's race for the
United States Senatorship from Ohio
He was SO useful, in fact, that he
thought o Hannaized administration
would not dare to punish him for his
Cuban misdeed. Public opinion com
PEELED his punishment for those short
cOnlings, but IL will be well to watch his
career between now and November. He
Is extremely likely to bob up as con
iidential worker at Ilanna's elbow. The
grand old party" Is running TO seed in
its personnel Hanna. Heath, Rathbone
and others of that ilk are offered us

Chinese crisis. 1t is 10 tile material in
