il is not to be expected that such a

Cleveland is. except when there are

MR. M'KINLEY's DEsPoTIsM.
imPerialistic Tendencies shown by
His Treatment of Nr. ShurtIeH

The suit filed in the Court OF Claims by
eX-Secretary Carlisle. Of the Treasury. in
behalf OF Ferdinand N ShurtIen. former
General Appraiser OF Customs. is said TO
afford a strong illustration Of he imperial
istic tendencies Of President Mckinley.
Mr. Shurtlen was appointed General Ap-
praiser by President Harrison in 1850 with
out any application on his part. He had
served twenty years in the customs serv-
ice on the Pacific Coast. was regarded as
an expert. and was recommended by lead
ing business men and newspapers Of that
section.
The act creating the Board OF General
Appraisers preseribes that they may be
removed from Office for ineficiencv. neg
/ lect, or malfeasance in Office. The intent of
Congress and the general understanding
was. and is. that the tenure of the mem
bers Of the board shall be comparatively
permanent Mr. Shurtlen was therefore
naturally very much surprised TO receive.
on January Il. 1899. the following note
from Secretary Gage:

some changes IA the personnel OF the Beard Of
General APpralSers With this in view he directs
me 10 request YOU 20 submit to him vour resianl-
tion, 10 take effect Al his pleasure.
TO this communication Mr.. ShurtIeff re-
piled at length. stating the circumstances
under which he was appointed. the faith

discharged MS duties. the absence Of ali
complaints against him and the provisions
OF the law which protected him from re-
moval without cause The answer to this

from the Executive Mansion and read as

What Is This But War.

We have serious news from Tientsin an
nouncing the death in battle Of the gallant
Colonel Liscum, of the Ninth Infantry,
and the probable killing Of Captains Da-
Wis and Lemly, OF the Marine Corps and
a number of men. In all, our losses in
the attack of July 10 on the mud wall
OF the Chinese city are reported at over
thirty.
We indulge the hope that the startling
intelligence Of the day viii serve to
break down the front porch policy Of the
Administration and stir it to action. For
days We have ventured 10 warn Mr.. Nc
Kinley and his advisers that they have a
heavier task on their hands than they have
imagined or are still willing to admit. But,
if they viii consult General Miles. or Gen
eral Wheeler, or both, on the subject, they
viii be assured that the repulse with
slaughter Of a rush Of 1000 civilized troops
at one point on the Chinese line at TienJsin
is an alarming evidence that the army Of
China is one Ia the modern sense Of the
term. and no longer a horde % barbarians
with spears and bows and arrows. In
short action It appears the allies have
lost more than three hundred in killed
and wounded. Although the arrival Of the
Ninth Infantry has increased the inter
rational force at Tientsin a little. and
there may have been some other ac-
cessions. as far as We can judge from
