A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION.

The Washington correspondents have
been working on possible explanation
for the recent remarkable utterances
by Secretary Root and Senator Lodge,
and it is thought they have solved the
puzzle. The idea is that the admins
tration, under some sort of bonds to
England, was becoming seriously an
noyed and worried over the constantly
increased popular clamor for interces-
sion on behalf of the Beers, and as the
best way out of bad situation it was
thought expedient to distract attention
by skilfully yelled Nominations against
Germany, and to throw out dark
though indefinite hints of coming trou-
bic during which the friendship of
England would be very handy thing
to have about. Secretary Root accord
ingly first sounded what was intended
to be note OF alarm. and Senator

THE CUBAN RAsCALITY.

The more the Cuban postal raseality
q stirred up, the worse the odor. There
was evidently regular plot with wide
ramiications to loot these island
wards of the nation" and it will
be just little strange If a Washing
ton connection with the thievfng is
not disclosed if the investigation is
pushed far enough. There must have
been some substantial inducement to
somebody to keep hands off while the
plundering went on upon a wholesale
scale. This rascality Is not at all
creditable to America, which is admin
istering the affairs of Cuba in trust,
under the plea that the people of the
island are not fit to govern themselves.
The thieves should be adequately and
promptly punished, and restitution in
sisted upon. Meanwhile a different
and better system of transacting pub
lie business down there should be de-
vised and put in operation. What the
total amount of the plumber will be
cannot yet be told. At first sixty
thousand dollars was named, then the
amount jumped to one hundred thous>
and: Now, double that sum is hinteo
at It may be much more. And the
worst thing about it all was the dis
tinct tendency in Washington to sup
press or minimize the affair. Com
menting upon this phase of the case
the Washington Post says:
ITO our great uneasiness and regret, we
have detected what seems to be dis
position on the part of the government to
suppress disclosures in Havana, and to
envelop the whole incident in a cloud of
languid investigation and educated nom
committalism. Under one sauve pretext
or another; by some queer shuffling of
authority, or transfer Of responsibility,
the administration has twisted itself-un-
Intentionally, no doubt-into an attitude
Of obstruction and suppression.
I'VE note the issuance of an order that
no more arrests shall be made and no
more facts be communicated to the press;
and we recognize, or think we recognize,
he slowly but surely growing structure
Of a policy of secrecy and occultation. If
we be well advised in this-and we hope
not-it remains to be said only that the
administration is preparing for itself a
deep humiliation and disaster"
This wholesale robbery should not
be covered up because it is q, campaign
year. Let's have all the facts, anG let
every guilty man be arrested and pun

Pronunciation of Boer Names.

From South Africa.
OF the four different ways of pronounc-
ing Kruger's name which are current, No.
/, Kroojer, is vulgar error; No. ?, Kroo-
ger, with hard 6. as in gold is possible;
No. 8, Kreeger, where the ee is an attempt
at the French vowel sound, is, perhaps,
the most aristocratic; while No. 4, Kreer
(rhyming with Frere), In which the en-
tirely disappears, Is the one most fire.
quently heard among the Cape Dutch
themselves The name OF the other presi-
dent Steyn, is pronounced stain" and
the same sound is given to the dipthong
Ell or ey, and also to the vowel y, wher-
ever these occur In Dutch words. Exam
pies are Leyds Oaids). Reitz CRatesl,
Hofmeyer, the names Bloemfontein
(Bloomfontane), and Graaffreinet (ac-
cented on the last syllable), Vryburg
(Frayburg), and Tryheid QTrayhade). TIE
last two also illustrate the sound of f,
which is always given to initial in
Dutch, other instances of which are the
family names Villiers (Fill-yee or Fill-Jee)
and Viljoen (Fill-yune or Fill-junel. 1t
will be observed that alternative pronun-
Citations are allowed of the ] in both these
names In literary Dutch this consonant
is like the English y, but at the Cape
there is a strong tendency to give 1t the
same sound as ] in English. Cronje,
therefore, may be called Cron-jay or. pre-
ferably Cron-yay, and Joubert either
Jew bear or You-bear. Spion kop, of
doubtful fame, is called Spewn kop or
Spune kop.

A DIFFERENCE IN METHODS.

Regarding the Intelligencer' criti
cism and attack upon the representa-
tive of the Register credited with the
management of the Democratic pri-
mary election, it may be remarked that
q representative of the Intelligencer
manages Ohio county Republican af-
fairs in his own personal interests
and these of a small coterie of close
party friends, using machine methods
throughout, and excluding from his pa
per news unfavorable to his cause.
The representative of the Register, in
marked contrast had no personal axe
to grind, and whatever supervision or
control it fell to his lot to exercise
was in the interest of his party and
through that party for the common
welfare of the people. The Democ
racy is not run by a machine with a
chief engineer having sovereign powers
in charge. 1t is not controlled by a
clique of bosses, assuming to dictate
policies, methods. times, places and
candidates. 1t is a party having for
its object the greatest good for the
greatest number, and it knows no mas
ter, acknowledges allegiance TO no
ring, and wears no collar.
