West POInt Cadets.

The numerical strength of the cadet corps, by authority of recent act of congress. is to be increased by 100, and the secretary of war, by order of the president, has invited each senator to nominate legally qualified candidate Tor appointment form his state at la'ge, and an alternate, and the ap- pCintmentS will he made without de- lag. Although the secretary does not sSy so specifically, all lapsed appoint ments will be made by the president.
 The provisions of the bill are con strled by the war department author itle,S as yesting the two cadet appoint ments from each state in the senators from that state and as increasing by ten the number of cadets at large to be appointed directly by the president. 4 misunderstanding as to the preSi- dential appointments has Swamped the white house with applications for appointment to the cadetShipS. The appropriation bill fixed the number of appointments at large at thirty, but as the president has already appointed twenty cadets at large, the actual in- crease is only ten. The president has determined to reserve these places for the sons of officers wli0 have distin- guished themselves in the civil war, the Spanish war and the existing war in the Philippines. The additional cadets so appointed can report at West Point for examination as prompt ly as they please, the sooner tho bet ter W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record.

Should Mckinley be Reelected.

The results that would follow MT. McKinley'S reelection might be sum. mOned up as follows: The policy of imperialism would receive a great inn petus; the subjugatiOn of unwilling peoples by armed force and their incor- pOration as part of the United States subject to its rule, but not receiving any of the benefits of citizenship would have been endorsed by the peo- pie at the polls.
 The increase of the army perma- nently to hundred thousand men or more would follow as matter of course. The commercial greed and the deSire-On the part of the dominant forces of the Republican machine to obtain markets for our manufact ctureS and to exploit subject peoples can not be expected to stop at the beginning of such career, and an ever widening field of ambition would open up to the president of the United States. The president of the United States would be an empOrer in Asia, and the long mooted alliance, offensive and defensive, between the two great branches of the EngliSh-Speaking peo- pie for the exploitation of the world, or for that part left for conquest, would naturally follow.
 The American people will have no one but themselves to blame if by their votes the policy have outlined is followed. The old ideals upon which our government and constitution rest, the fundamental principles of our re- public, everything we hold sacred, or which has been the inspiration to pa

usually rendered volunteer service. So universal was the custom that dis credit attached in the public mind to a political speaker who received com pensation.
 At the head of the Republican liter ary bureau in 1896 was Perry s. Heath now assistant poStmaster-general. The head of the Democratic bureau was Daniel McCouville, of Ohio. DOcu- ments were sent out from both head quarters by the ton. The Republican committee distributed over lG0, ,000, ,0t0 pieces of ''liteTature. " Over l6,0OO packages were sent by freight or express, and over l3O carloads of printed matter. In the shipping de- partment alone 275 people were em- ployed. The distribution by the
 Democratic committee was equally as large. The work has been reduced to science. Each committee has lists Of voters which are furnished origi- nally by the various local committees in states and congressional districts, and these lists are so arranged that so far as possible just the right kind of document will be sent to each voter, and just the right kind of argument will be presented to each mind. The Republican and the Democratic na- tional committees today each have at least , 000.000 names on their lists.
 The Repubncan committee in lS96 employed twenty-Seven writers, most of them specialists on the tariff, on currency, and on other topics of a political nature, and these men were kept busy at headquarters constantly preparing timely material as the UcCa- sion might demand. Much of this work was sent out through the newspapers, and three or four columns of matter for this purpose were prepared every day. Statements, cards, explanations, interviews were distributed in the guise of news. The press bureau was highly important adjunct to the liter ary department. Over 12,O00 news papers were furnished with plate mat ter, patent inSideS and occasional edi- torialS. Bulletins were sent daily by telegraph at the expense of the com mittCe to loo morning ncWSpaDpTS and and to l50 afternoon prints. These bulletins ranged all the way from 100 to 1jO words in length
 A comparativelyS small proportion of the expenditures of a national com mittee are of such character that those responsible for them would not be willing as a purely business propU- Sition to spread an accounting before the world. Many things, of course, are done which must of necessity be carried on in secret for it would be the rankeSt of folly for those who are conducting a great campaign to show their hands to the enemy or to give them information as to methods which would work to their own disadvantage. But there never was a grOssec mistake than to iWagine that the funds dis by national committee go to the debauching of the electorate or to the purchase of votes.

SAM FINLEY ARRESTED.
Says lie Does Not Know the Meaning
 of the Charge.

A bench warrant was issued by Judge
 Davis at Tombstone Thursday for the arrest of Sam Finley of this city. An officer arrived last night and served the warrant, placing Mr. Finley under arrest. Friends relieved the officer of vigilance by guaranteeing that the prisoner would appear this morning, which he did. Mir. Finley was taken to Tombstone on the morning train.
 The warrant charges Finley with as sault with intent to kill. Finley was Tn Tombstone a short time ago. but ne said last night he did not assault any one, and he is at loss to know what the arrest means. Persons who are ! familiar with Finley $ connection with the Tombstone fugitiyes, AlVOrd, Stiles and Bravo Juan, as an agent to secure evidence for them believe that this service is responsible for the arrest. Finley spent some time securing eyi- denCe for the fugitiveS, having been engaged by Judge Barnes of this ely, who is the attorney for the train rob berS. It was rumOred at the time that he received sl0OO for his work, and there was a suspicion that he was implicated in the jail break. He was in Tombstone at the time and was eating dinner at a restaurant with Sid Mullen, George White and the Burts boys when the jail break occurred. The events did not go to prove that he was implicated in the jail break, and Finley says he was surprised when he heard the news. That he was em- ployed to secured evidence he admits, and that he had d right to do so.
 There is hO doubt but that the ar rest was made by the Cochise officers who are making an effort to get at the bottom of the whole affair." The arrest created sensation here last night when it was learned that Finley had been indicted by the grand jury of Co., chiSe county for assault with deadly weapon. There was d great deal Of interest manifested, as Mr. Finley is well known all over Southern Arizona and has many friends. The outcome of the case is watched with consider able Tucson Citizen.

The Cost of War.

On March II last the World stated In its news columns that the War witt Spain and the FIiipinos by the end oI ! this month would cost this country tht great sum of SPA, SI4, j00.
 We now have the official figures fur, nished by Senator Allison and Mir ] Cannon Iu behalf of the senate and house appropriations committees. IL turns out that the World understateu tine truth. the cost oI hese wars at the end of the fiscal year, June 30. will be $4S2, 562, OS3.
 The World estimated that the cost of the Filipino war for 1901 would be Sl25, ,O00, OO0 This, also, was an uu- derestImate The cost of the war in 1901, 1t said by the committee on ap. propriations, will be Sl3l 247, l55, and this is giyeu as permanent annual appropriation.
 By the end of the fiscal year 1901 the country will have expended in free ing Cnba from Spain, in taking Porto Rico and in seizing the Philippines, the sum of S6l3, SO9, 23S. In addition we must count as part of the cost, the violation of our plighted word. the denial of the Declaration and the Con- stitution, our departure from republi- can traditions, our disappearance as peace power, our assumption of the role of injustice and despotism, the lives and health of American soldiers and the shame of the Cuban postal scandals.

TRIALS, NORTH AND SOUTH.

Criminal trials are always expensive
to the Government, and in some cases
run up into alarming proportions.
When one compares the expenses OF
such trials in the North and West with
similar trials in the South. the great
est establishment is the result.
First. criminal trials in New York
city and in the West sometimes run
over a space of several months, all of
which time. also, the jury are kept
away from their business. In the South
criminal matters, though of the gravest
Importance. are dispatched with celer-
ity.
1t is hard to understand what is done
with the money purported to be used
in such trials in New York city. The
newspapers estimate that New York
city had to stand an expense Of all
the way from $4,000 to $15o,oOo in the
recent Molineux trial. Such figures
are alarming.
The people of the South are there
fore to be congratulated upon the con-
duct Of the courts; for If Old Virginia
had a few NIolincux trials she would
promptly go into bankruptcy.
Criminals always have fair trials in
Virginia, with ample opportunity to
produce witnesses; but they are not al
lowed to prolong trials beyond reason
able limits. excepting in very few in
stances.

pOintment OF q Quarantine Officer, and
his assistant. for the Port of Norfolk
and Portsmouth, and put the same into
the hands of the Legislature, thus maxi
ing it u political office.
In the second place. the bill requires
that O. doctor shall be selected from u
certain point one time. and from an
other point ut another time. Then
again it virtually takes away from the
Quarantine Officer the power OF select

particular calling, a proper chance to
serve their own government, but this
applies to the business end of the ques-
ton altogether.
Give us bad quarantine law and
there will soon be no business. Hence
the quarantine law is paramount to all
others.
The Virginian-Pilot comes then rep
resenting. speaking for and in behalf Of
the health. life. safety and happiness Of
the people of Norfolk, Portsmouth and
Berkeley. to beg of the Legislature that
1T will not make law of the bill now
before 1t. but will let we'll enough alone
The Governor has the appointing
power. Unon him rests the RESPONSE
bility of the conduct of the office. 10
him directly the applicants go with the
support OF the business men and the
transportation interests. None but good
men have ever been appointed. The
affairs of the Office are always con-
Quoted properly and in safe and
jud.cious manner. Let the office then
be kept out OF politics as much as pos
sibe.
An epidemic or scourgc at this Port
would hurt the entire State. 1t would
hurt the interests OF Carroll and Floyd,
of Augusta and Rockbridge and of Ac-
comac alike. Norfolk and Portsmouth
and Berkeley are becoming centres of
great wealth, prosperity and industrial
development. Thousands, aye millions
OF dollars have found their way here,
and are still coming. Thousands of
people flock here in summer for Whit
of salt air and an ocean plunge. Thous-
ands of people are dependent for q liv-
ing upon THE wheels OF industry located
within the circle of the three cities.
Will the Legislature, then, let n little
spirit of political control jeopardze the
prosperity, business, health and well
fare of this great port? We do not be-
lieve 1t.
There is no rivalry amongst the busi-
ness men for the appointment. DIR.
Hope, Of Portsmouth,, holds the posi-
ton at present and has filled 1t very
acceptably. He is responsible for his
appointees and cannot shift the liabil-
ity. The people took a hand In that ap-
polntment.
The Virginian-Pilot does not appeal
in vain to the Legislature. The health
and lives OF the people of this port are
too sacred a matter to be trifed with
by politicians.
