Honest but Incompetent %

Ex-Director General Rathbone, who
has been relieved from his Office in
Havana, is the man who conducted the
Doodle campaign which resulted in get
ting Mark Hanna a seat in the t. S.
Senate As reward for that service,
Hanna got him appointed as Director
General in Cuba When the fact of
looting of government funds in Cuba
could no longer be suppressed, was
Rathbone pointed ont as the man re-
sponSible Not any. He is not that
sort of a man. He does not do his steal
ing directly, but always manages to get
some one else to do the real dirty work
for him. 1t was evident that the steal
ing could not have gone on without his
participation, unless he was such an
innocent chap as to be incompetent to
detect what was very plain. So it was
decided by the cabinet that Rathbone.
the Ohio director of the bribery cam
paign, was Incompetent, but honest.
Now if any one win stop long enough
to consider what sort of cunning and
deviltry is needed in the makeup of a
man who can successfully engineer
such campaign as that of Hanna, for

it means to say that man is honest,
but incompetent.

La FolIette's HOPELESS Task.

Mr. La Toilette in announcing him.
self as candidate for the republican
nomination for governor says: THE
foundation of republican faith was laid
to preserve and maintain government
where all men should be equal before
the law; it is the very essence of repub-
licanism." Mr.. La Toilette is going
back good ways. Ifhe should succeed
and should persevere in his effort to
restore his patty to its foundation"
he will be to the republican party of
Wisconsin what Pingree has been to
his party in Michigan; that is he will
succeed only in one thing, namely in
proving that his party has got past the
redemption period; that tits too corrupt
to be healed by him or anybody else.
But it is rather late in the day for Pin
grees to begin work. The Pingree has
shown that at last he must give it mp,
and says that 1.-THE only hope of the
country is the democratic party" And
what he could not do in Michigan La
Toilette can not, nor any other, do in
Wisconsin, for Pingree is giant COM
pared with any republican in this state,
and what he could not do they need rot
be foolish enough TO attempt.

Wars, Cost.

rs, 800 claims for pension have been
filed by soldiers engaged in the war
with Spain and in the PHILIPPINES. Com
missioner of Tensions, Evans, gives it
as his opinion that there will be proper
tionately more claims filed as result
of these wars than there were on
account of the Civil war This would
indicate that the people have either
been greatly deceived as to our losses
in battle, or that losses in battle are as
nothing compared with losses by dis
ease contracted in unhealthy climates.
Is, 500 disabled men is CHASTITY show
ing, and Mr.. Evans says: "The pension
roll of the late war is swelling and will
continue for many years to come"
This recalls to us what we insisted
upon at the time war was declared
with Spain 1t was unnecessary for
the United States to enlist single man.
Give the Cubans arms and artillery,
furnish them with supplies, and let
them win their own independence
They could have done it easily. They
would have had their independence
won at that time if the United States
bad kept hands off, and permitted them
10 purchase arms, ETC., in this country
Our government could not do that with
out recognizing their independence, but
that could have been done. If neces-
sary a few thousand regulars could
have been sent to help them, but there
was a hundred thousand men in this
country who would have been glad to
go if the government would let them.
Our fleet could have done the rest, as it
in fact did. And it is Il matter of his
tory that out of 225, 900 volunteers raised
there were not 5 900 who ever saw active
service until the Philippine war began.
1t was great mistake, and so obvious
a mistake that one can be justified in
calling it criminal. Even at that time
the only Justification of it was the asser-
ton that it was advisable to make an
exhibition to European powers of the
fact that we could raise an army if we
wanted one. Why was that necessary I?
The Civil war was proof enough of that
if proof welfheeded, but what has the
nation to do with making exhibitions of
military strength for the benefit of
European powers? 1t was a very fool
ish, and fan fetched excuse And it is
more likely that the real moving cause
for raising that army of 225, 600 was to
give commissions to lot of men, and
jobs to lot of others, in the way of
supplying the army with necessaries at
big prices. The Cubans could have won
their freedom easily with little help in
the way of arms, munitions of war,
and supplies, and such help as Ameri-
cans would have been glad to give if
permitted to give it.

THE developments of the past week
are evidence that the Cubans can gov
ern themselves much better than the
class of men the administration sent
there to govern them. 1t has been in
the air for sometime past that there was
any amount of stealing and embezzle-
ment going on in Havana. A great
effort was made to hush the matter
until after election. but last week the
explosion came, and several arrests
were made of U s. officers for looting
public funds Whereupon a republican
member of congress declared We have
been diSgraced before the world. am
informed By reliable persons that the
conditions in Cuba are simply shock
ing. The government of that island
has been little short of an organized
loot" Yet it is entirely safe TO guess
that this same republican member of
congress will, next fall, vote for Mckin-
ley. Such is the maleyolent power of
partizanship as against honesty and
patriotism.

The Week in South Africa.

During the past week Lord Roberts
has done good deal of marching, and
the Beers good deal of falling back,
but not a single battle has been fought.
The Beers have still all their artillery,
and all their soldiers, and as much
fighting power as ever. Lord Roberts,
on the other hand has more untenable
position than he had when at Bloom
fontein. The moment he halts he will
have any amount of trouble, and if he
advances much farther he is likely TO
get into big battle without having the
necessary preponderance of force,-ten
to one. A significant feature of the
weeks news is the persistent claims
that the Beers have never had any
thing like the number of soldiers
claimed by their opponents that they
have not to exceed 10000 all told, in
stead of 70, 600 as claimed by the British
generals. If this be true, it may mean
that the resources of the Beers are not
yet exhausted, and that there is still a
supply of men for recruits, or it may
mean that their force is so in adequate
that they can not possibly hold out
much longer. 1t is pretty evident, how
ever that 10000 Beers can successfully
stop $50, 900 Britishers, that is only five
to one, and they did as well or better
than that at Magersfontein, and on the
Tugela. With short line of defense
they will find this task easier, and the
summer may have some unpleasant sur
prises in store for Lord Salisbury.
