The patriot army in South Afri-
ca is slowly falling back under the
pressure of superior numbers. The
generalship of Roberts is pitting
ten mon against one and avoiding
all conflicts on equal terms. His
victories may accomplish the
shameless ends of oppression and
wrong in view, but will add no
laurels to British arms, any more
than the scheme of conquest adds
honors to British craftsmanship.

a Rio Scandal.

The defalcation of one of Presi-
dent McKinley's imported Ameri-
can politicians, holding an impor-
tant office in the postal service in
Cuba, is not re-assuring as to the
way we may govern our possessions
The shortage placed to the account
of Charles f Nicely is about $4,000
He was an Indiana politician, taken
from Republican country paper
at Muncie to serve the imperial
cause in Cuba. OF course he
reached the conclusion it was no
great offense to steal from the Gu
bans. Nicely has been released
from Jail through unknown iniu-
ences, some one sending two $4,000
treasury notes to cover his bail.
Only month ago Nicely was pub
holy complimented for the manner
in which his accounts were kept
The entire shortage, it is reported,
may go to $168,OOO, and number
of other Indiana Republicans are
believed to be concerned. 1t APP
pears that the Cuban postoffice was
made the special place of looting
for Indiana politicians. Nicely was
made chief financial agent of the
Cuban postal service, he was Re.
publican boss. a high roller and Il
speculator-the very material need-
ed for a first-class imperialist.-

The rainy season in the Philip
pines is due. Sixty-fve thousand
Americans have been fighting the

natives. Now we must face aDoth-
er enforced and long period of idle

Our Scandals in Cuba.

The Administrator has to face
an ugly scandal in Cuba, which is
all the moro humiliating because
we have carpet agged the island
with American officials in order to
teach the Cubans how to govern
themselves. If reports at Havana
are not exaggerated one of the tai
ented instructors in the art of gov
ernment whom the Administration
sent to Cuba-and possibly more
than one-has given tho natives
some exceedingly fine points in
official stealing. A great deal has
been written about the looting pro,
pensities of Spanish office holders
in Cuba, and tho genius which
they displayed in getting their fin
gers into tho islands cash box
The Spaniard may be a gifted thief
in office, but he is not able to teach
the American carpet Dagger any,
thing about tho nice points of the
game. An Instructor in honest
government who can pocket 3d.
600 of other peoples money in less
than year is an artist in official
larceny who has little to learn from
the most accomplished rogues un-
der the Spanish regime in Cuba
It is to be hoped the Cubans will
appreciate the .Administration's eff
forts to establish an economical
and efficient government in the
island Baltimore Sun.

A Strange Coincidence.

Chicago Chronicle.
On December 5, 1864, a vessel
crossing the Menai strait with 81
passengers on board encountered al
terrific gale and foundered, The
only man who escaped was Hugh
Williams. More than 104 years
later, on Decem Der 5, 1780, another
vessel with large number of pass
engers sank in the same circum-
stances and in the same place. All
the passengers were drowned ex-
cept one, Hugh Williams. Again,
on December 5, 1920, boat laden
with 80 people sank in the same
spot. The sole survivor once more
was Hugh Williams,
A Western travelling man recent
| ly put up at an eastern hotel and
the bed bugs got around him like
flies get around the bung hole in a
molasses barrel. The traveller very
naturally objected to this kind of
company and told the landlord
about it, whereupon the landlord
exclaimed: "Why sir, bed bugs in
your bed! why, President Harrison
slept in that bed last night" The
traveller replied in this way: II
don't care if President Har.
rison did sleep in that bed; 1 am
not going to sleep with the whole

If the necessities of politicians
and Republican place hunters re-
quire it, Hawaii will soon blossom
as State of the American Union.
A convention has been called on
the island to elect delegates to the
Philadelphia convention. The
delegates will be solidly for McKin-
Icy. Hawaii has population of
100000 and of this number only
3,O86 are Americans. Tho rest are
natives, half. breeds, Japanese, Chi
nese, and Portuguese, to which
must be added leper colony, all
on islands 1000 miles from our
Pacific ooast. Yet they are to take
part in nominating and, if the
need arises, electing a President of
the United States. Vorily, imper-
ialism is blossoming tree.

New York, considering that it
has nearly million and half of
voters, is one of the most unoer-
tain States, politically, in the
American Union. In the last
twenty years it has been carried ten
times by the Democrats and the
same number of times by the Re-
publioans. The disparities in ma
jorities have been amazing. Cleve-
land beat Blaine in 1884 by LOO
plurality, but two years before
Cleveland carried the State by 1922
600. He had $4,000 majority for
President in 1892, and yet McKin-
ley carried the State in 1896 by
100000 majority, while the Demo
orats won it back the next year by
10000 plurality. 1t will take a
first-class prophet to give an intelli-
pible idea how New York will go
this year.
