Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina to
memorialize Congress to amend the
national election laws to take out of
the hands of the State election machin-
cry at least the Congressional and
Presidential elections.
Here we have the infamous force
bill demanded. Because partisan cleo
ton laws have been passed in some
States is no argument for federal con-
crol of elections. Would it not be a
leap out of the frying pan into the
fire? Is Congress always so immacu-
lately non-partisan that it is more
trustworthy than the governments Of
the States? II State goes wrong
there is opportunity for speedy redress,
but when a partisan majority in Con-
gress enacts partisan law, not only
one State but all the States of the
Union must be equally affected and
the redress for the wrong is proper
tionately difficult to secure.
If this sort of legislation may pass,
why not complete the imperial job and
take away from the States all powers
of law-making, for there is not State
that has not at some time passed bad
law.
The correction of these mistakes
may safely be left in the hands Of the
people, and must if the right of self
government is still recognized. On
this point the st. Louis Republic says:
"The Republicans of Kentucky are
moving too swiftly toward that central
lied government which is part of the
consistent creed of Imperialism and
militarism. The people of the United
States are not yet ready for so ominous
a surrender of legitimate State rights.
The ballot is the one weapon with
which alone the people may fight
against whatever un-American assaults
upon their prerogatives may develop
under the stress of Capitalization. A
complete federal control of State cleo
lions is not likely to be favored by
Americans solicitous for the preserva-
ton of democratic principles and ill.,
situations"

A PAIR OF "HEROES.v

President Mckinley seems unwilling
to let the Spanish war Scandals rest.
Evidently the bitter anirlosity of the
administrati Major General
Miles, o the army, is still as
lively was during the odoriferous
DAYS IF the scandalous embalmed
beef courtmartial whitewash of the
Chicago beef trust.
The chief intriguer against Gen.
Miles then was Adjutant General Cor
bin, whose efforts to discredit the
head of the army were ably supple
mented by those of Gen. Egan. Now
it is the Administrations intention to
further humiliate Miles by raising his
traducer to Miles own rank of Major
General. That is, this will be done
and Corbin will be made Major Cen
eral if Mr.. Mckinley can do the trick.
An administration bill, reported by
the Military Affairs committe pro-
vides that the Adjutant General Cor
bin) shall have the rank and pay of a
Major General.
Knowing that Congress would never
pass a bill to thus elevate Corbin the
administration added the Lame of
Gen. Shafter, who really did some SER
vice in the Spanish war, in the hope
that Shafter would pull Corbin
through.
The wisdom of this expedient, how
ever, is doubtful. While Shafter cap
tured Santiago he is a good ways from
being popular hero, while the people
thoroughly understand Corbin, whose
chief service during the Spanish war
was to intrigue against Gen. Miles.
The linking together of this precious
pair would be calculated to defeat the
aspirations of both.

Defender of Dewey.

The following is comment by the
Parkersburg State Journal on Col. Bob
McEldowney's editorial, which was re-
produced from the Wetzel Democrat
by the Register recently:
1t is not probable any intended in
justice was intended by all this, but
as an observer on the scene, the State
Journal would like to know where the
editor of the Democrat got all this mis-
information. Admiral Dewey, during
his visit to Wheeling, repeatedly testi-
fed to his delight of the treatment of
him. He is simple-minded, unso-
nlsticated old sailor, unassuming, big
hearted and full of kindness.
What more could be asked of him
than what he did at the Wheeling
gathering? He was not responsible
| for that awful Thursday. Could it be
expected that he would loaf on the
street corners in the snow? Most of
the companies of men in Wheeling re-
fused to go in the parade, but Admiral
Dewey did not. He endured two hours
of oratory in the afternoon proceed
| ings. At this meeting he was full of
good humor, and won the affections of
all who saw him by his heartiness, his
bluffness, and the interest he took in
the exercises. The writer of these
lines vouches for this. He would like
to know where a more lovable man
than Admiral Dewey could be found.
Dewey is getting old. He could not
stand it to make protracted show of
himself, like the young fellows who
edit the Wetzel Democrat and the
State Journal could. He appears older
than he is. At Wheeling, if his friends
had not protected him, he would have
been made the victim of curious mob
who would have shaken his hands and
his head off in their thoughtless adj
miration. He did everything sensi-
BILE, quiet, modest man could be ex-
pect deto do.
Dewey is all right, and is certain of
his page in the histories, school and
otherwise, in spite of the Wheeling
storm and the criticism and adverse
finding of the Wetzel Democrat.

MIR. MKINLEY SQUIRTING AGAIN.

Mr.. Mckinley, postmaster of blair
ney, has been trying it on the New
charlottesville hotbed of treachery,
as administration agents and organs
call it. Mr.. Mckinley has been trying
to set Boston right on the Philippines
question, but Boston can't see it as Mr..
Mckinley sees it. So our good and
guileless President goes up there him
self to make the New England
heather little talk on the subject.
Now, if any one can make talk
1t is William Mckinley, of Canton, 0.
Administration agents and organs
have special orders to ridicule Mr..
Bryan on the ground Of the many
speeches he has made the American
people, but while Mr.. Bryan has had
TO conduct his own campaign without
assistance and while Mr. Mckinley has
lad every adjunct and aid to his, cam
paign that trust millions lavir'hly ex-
pended could buy and in-<lo96 did not
need TO stir. off his, celebrated front
poleh, It is a sa4lods question who has
done the most talkingl Mckinley or
Bryan.
At any rate, one of the results of
the British-American alliance-or "un-
derstanding," as "Brummagen Joe''
Chamberlain puts thought to be the
transfer of the Barney stone from
Barney Castle to the White House,
Washington, d. C.
But this is depression. President Nc
Kinley spoke in his guileless way to
the Bostonese as follows on the sub
ect of the Philippines, and it will be
observed that the tenor of his remarks
is, as usual, to shift the blame on some
one else than himself:
Out of these recent events have come to
the United States grave trials and respon-
sibilities. AS it was the nations war, so
are its results the nations problem. It's
solution rests upon us all. 1t is too serious
to stifie 1t is too earnest for repose
No phrase or catchword can cancel the
sacred obligation 1T involves: No use of
epithets, no aspersion OF motives by those
judgment so essential to right conclusions
How like William of Canton But
people who are too hard-headed TO be
palavered by nice sounding words,
will want Mr.. Mckinley to explain
when and how the conquest of the
Philippines became 1.-The nations war;"
as he is so anxious to have us con-
slider it?
The American Congress never de-
clared war on the Filipinos. Indeed,
the Filipinos were our able and faith
full allies against Spain.
Hence, it cannot be "the nations
war"
The fact is, William Mckinley can
not by hook or crook escape the sole
responsibility for the intolerabe and
un-American position his own act has
thrust this nation into. That act was
committed at the behest of plutocratic
spectators, who, to accomplish their
own selfish ends, would wreck the
country as they have it's Constitution.
MIR. Mckinley may squirm at the re-
sponsibility put upon him, but it IS all
his. 1t belongs to no one else. This
is not primarily the nations war. 1t
is William. McKinley's war.
