The Republican policy.

II is melancholy in these closing
weeks of session which promised SO
much Of solid advantage to the nation
to look back and see how little has
really been achieved and how much of
that has been inexcusably bungled. 1t
is SO obvious as to be undeniable that
in this congress the democratic mi
nority has thus far surpassed the re-
publican majority in the two vital
qualities of skill and sand" We have
had, not perhaps a wasted. but certain
ly far from fruitful, session. The pop
ular feeling toward republican con-
gressional leadership Is one of uncon-
cealed discomfort. 1t may easily be-
come feeling of disgust if affairs are
not considerably bettered before adj
journment. For five months the re-
publican policy in congress has been in
large part one of temporizing, compro-
missing and surrender.-Boston jour
nal (Rep.).

THE PEOPLE APPEALED TO.
Freedom Ignored by the Re--.s-ss-
publicans..~ssiS

Chicago Mckinley organ, the Trib-
'une, anxious, lest the Boer ENJOYS fall
into the error of appealing to the peo-
pie directly, instead of through the
government, expresses its fear that In
so doing they are in danger at the
outset of becoming the plaything of a
democratic political gathering.
It is trifle surprising that the for
eign ENJOYS of a nation struggling for
freedom are not entitled to receive
the sympathy of the American people
or of that part of them allied to the
democratic party. The suspicion is
excited that if, in the beginning of
the South African war, when the Brit
ish We're being moved down like grass
with the Boer scythe, an English
deputation had appealed to the sym
pathy of the republican party it
would have been granted with fer.
yor enhanced by large contributions
Of money. That indeed was the re
| publican sentiment unconcealed by
the republican press and official Anglo
maniacs.
The real fear of the republican
managers is not that the Boer ENJOYS
will fall into the hands of the demo
cratic Philistines, but because the pol
icy of the Mckinley administration
has put itself so far out OF line will
free government, whether abroad O,
at home, that 1t sees slipping ava.
from the party the affections of ,

cannot avail itself of any expresses

people are not free to express sent
msnts adverse to the policy and prae
tices Of the party in power? Is no

Mckinley and Roosevelt.

The nomination of Mr.. Mckinley
was a foregone conclusion, not because
he is all that his orators painted him
in the minds of the rank and file of
the party, but rather that he is most
acceptable to the class interests that
dominate the republican party.
Mr.. Roosevelt was the strongest as
he was the best man whose name was
mentioned for the vice presidency.
Some people object to the little Roose-
welt tricks of the peacock order, but
these are not serious; and above his
eccentricities is that sturdy character
that has won for Theodore Roosevelt
the respect of good men and the fear
of bad men. 1t is probable, however,
that soon the republican politicians
will be made to realize that in nomi-
mating Mr.. Roosevelt they have made
serious mistake. Not that Roosevelt
on his own merits and for his own
sake would not poll more votes than
any other republican. Undoubtedly
in this campaign all the enthusiasm
on the republican side will be lavished
on the second place and the popularity
Of Roosevelt will appear in striking
contrast with the indifference toward
Mckinley. But the candidate for vice
president does not win the victory.
He may be of strong character; he
may have good record in peace and
in war. But if the head OF the ticket
has shown himself to be a weak and
yacillating person, a man of putty in
the hands of men who care for class
interests, the strength of the ,candi-
date for second place is oflittlc impor-
lance. So of the nomination of Mr..
Roosevelt it may be said that the re-
publican party did not act wisely, con-
sidering the forces that gave impetus
to the Roosevelt boom. While it is
true that there was boundless enthusi-
asm over Roosevelt among the dele
gates generally, these would have ac-
cepted his assurance that he preferred
to be candidate for governor of New
York had it not been for some power
full force that kept the Roosevelt boom
a booming. The leader of that force
was Platt of New York, who was
anxious to supplant Roosevelt in the
governors chair by a man whom Platt

NAIL THE GUILTY ONES.
The Nation Is Responsible for the
Looting of the Cuban Post
Office.

Unless congress shall take in hand
the Cuban post office frauds and thefts,
whereby the Cuban people have been
robbed of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars by appointees of President McKin-
ley, and the United States has been put
In the position of an unfaithful trustee,
the facts of the crime are likely to be
smothered in the interest of McKin-
ley's reelection. AT present the pur-
pose of the administration seems to be
to make show of activity in dealing
with one or two of the culprits, and
then treat the whole subject as no
longer of public concern. Then the
plea will be offered that the wrongdo-
Ing was liable to occur under any adj
ministration, and that, when detected,
it was vigorously prosecuted.
An answer like this, however, does
! not cover the case. There have been
,, dishonest officials, it is true, under
democratic as well as republican rule,
although it is equally undeniable that
dishonesty on the part of public men
has been much more frequent in re-
publican administrations than in dem
ocratic, and that the era of fragrant
corruption came in with the advent
of the republican party to power.
These Cuban frauds, however, have a
turpitude all their own. They belong
to that most odious class of crimes
breaches of trust, and-worst of all
they constitute breaches of trust not
only, ~, tho ,,orf of 4boco i'm a M al e,
guilty, but of the national government.
AS an employer is responsible for the
acts Of his agent, so President McKin-
ley is responsible, and the nation of
which he is the head is responsible, for
the looting of Cuba's post office treas
ury by knaves whom Mckinley selected
and appointed.
It is, in one sense, as II minister or
ambassador of the United States, ad-
mitted to foreign court on the
strength of his credentials, should
steal the purse or rob the treasury of
the sovereign receiving him.
The only way to clear the honor OF
the United States, which has been
married and furnished by Mckinley
Cuban carpet-baggers, is for congress
| to make an honest and exhaustive In
vestigation, and fix the guilt and the
responsibility where they belong, no
matter how high the offenders. The
cry Of the democrats in congress should
be that Of Gen. Grant, when some of
his trusted associates proved to be
scoundrels: "Let no guilty man es-
capel"
