Gently statement that the sickness
in the Philippine army was slightly
over s per cent of $1,000 men, or
total sick of 5, 600. This, it is al
legged, is the average normal sickness.
If this statement of numbers, which
the war department says was cabled
by Macarthur, was true, then the
United States government spends
1920, 600 for the care of 5000 sick
men, or $l44 per man, exclusive Of
the cost of medicines, nurses and

Another astonishing fact is that
it requires 400 surgeons and other
medical officers to take care of 8, 600

truth In other words it requires
one contract surgeon at $500 year
to take care of about twelve men.

THE BOER MADE A TRAITOR.

Under British law, now that formal
proclamation has been made of the
annexation of the Transvaal as Bri-
fish territory, Beers caught in arms
against the queen may be put to
death. 1t is unlikely that General
Roberts will go this extreme, at
least not till after the November
election in the United States. By
merely apprising tue British ambas-
sador that the American people
would not regard destruction of the
South African republics with favor,
President Mckinley could have pre-
served the independence of the Beers.
His statement would have been an
assurance to Europe that the United
States was not England's ally, and
fortified by this knowledge France
and Russia would have interviewed
and saved the brave Dutch republic
from subjugation. McKinley's res
possibility for the downfall OF the
Transvaal and the Orange Free State
cannot be successfully refuted, ana
as the execution of captured Beers

A GATHERING CLOUD.

The plain facs regarding the
present campaign are of so serious Il
nature that honest, thinking repuh-
licans are terrified at the outlook.
They are beginning to see the mo
tives that actuate the leaders and
owners of Mckinley. and to reali re
that his election would he a menace
to our present form of government
if not the sure means of its destruc-
ton. Mark Hanna, the political
brute and driver of men, alone has
his ear, in fact has him by the ear,
leading him where he chooses. As
the most available agent of the money
powers, he is brought forth for the
second term, but the honest suspic-
ions of the better and truly patriotic
class of his own party can see that
the effort to re-elect Mckinley is
only TO perpetuate the rule of the
plutocrats and further increase the
stupendous financial advantages they
now enjoy. This condition is fully
realized by Hanna and his circle of
political cormorants. He is abroad
in the land croaking his notes of
alarm. His speeches are in no sense
arguments-only appeals to party
prejudice for political reasons. Many
are silent, and so is the ballot, and

CHEAP CLAP TRAP

it displays all its repulsive toadyism
in assuming that 'the people of the

aristocratc tinsel and glitter and if it
were told that the English nobility
were shocked at Idaho, it would be
thrown into still deeper worry, be
cause the alleged contempt came
from still nearer the fountain head of
its ideals and inspirations. 1t is this
characteristic and diseased mental
worship of social class that makes

of the affair was sent out by the AS

daily papers. We show below how
it appeared in the Oregonian and
how it appeared in the Statesman:

This is the kind of juggling journal

The Oregonian also contained the
following paragraph which the
Statesman did not contain:
Il contend that the main issue in this
campaign is free silver and every col
lateral issue that has been injected in
this campaign has been for the purpose
of throwing dust IN the eyes of our

campaign propose that they shall not
hide this question.
After explaining that if Mr.. Bryan
was elected the senate would have ma

concluded by saving, etc:
