THE ARMY BILL OPPOSITION.

Is much Roadway being made towards
suppressing the instruction in the Phil
ippines? That question is being more
generally asked now than before there
was doubt expressed about the success
of the army bill in the Senate. There IS
much opposition to the bin in that body,
chiefly on the ground that the policy that
is being pursued in the Philippines is a
mistaken one. and also because there IS
a very decided sentiment against Great
ing so large a permanent army as the
bill calls for.
In some quarters there seems to be
disposition to doubt the ability of Gen.
Macarthur as a commander, and there
is a mild demand that Gen. Chaffee be
put in his place. Gen. Macarthur is
undoubtedly straightforward soldier and
he rendered good service in a subordi-
nate position 1t may be that he is not
entirely fitted for the position he now
occupies, though there has nothing APP
peared in the public prints indicating that
he has made glaring mistakes.
An intimation has appeared in some of
the w hSHHnBtOil dispatches mat tHele 10
uneasiness in the war department re-
specting the situation in the Philippines.
1t is stated that 1t is not at all improba-
bic that Secretary Root will visit the Phil
ippines in the near future. 1t is certain
that the progress that is being made in
pacifying the F'ilipinos is not at all sat
isfactory to the administration.
In the meantime there is uneasiness
over the delay in passing the army bill.
The time for which the volunteers en-
listed will soon expire, and if the law
respecting their discharge is to be COM
piled with the task of bringing them back
to this country must be begun within
the next three weeks. And there must
be an army to carry on the work they
are doing. 1t is plain therefore why the
President is getting uneasy over the de-
lay in acting on the army bill.

The report that the administration is
bringing pressure to bear upon Gen Miles
to prevent him from answering the at
tack OF ex-secretary Alger in a recent
magazine article, is denied in administra-
tion circles in Washington. At the same
time it is said that should the General
make reply. and in it attack his supe-
riors. the President for instance, official
notice would have to be taken of it. Gen.
Miles friends are trying to persuade him
to let the matter drop. Whether they will
succeed is a question, since the General
does not wish to be placed in the position

The photograph Is now being employed
In the teaching of languages. Records
are made and sent with text books TO
supplement their use. Thus the student
may have his French from
scholar in Paris. or his German
from scholar in Berlin. being assured
of the correct infections and modula-
tons. An advantage in this method is
that the student may have word or a
phrase repeated as often as may be de-
sired. by turning the cylinder back. The
rate of speech, too may be made fast or
slow at pleasure by regulating the con-
trolling mechanism of the photograph. A
disadvantage is that the pupil cannot see
the lips of his instructor as the words
are formed TO watch the lips in the
formation OF the sounds OF words is a
great aid 70 one trying to master a for
eign language. The value of the lip
movement in acquiring pronunciation Is
illustrated In the fact that deaf persons

THE SHAKING UP IN NEW York


It begins 10 look as if Tammany were in
earnest in its work of reform. The an
nouncement is made that the chief of po-
lice has been notified by Mr.. Croker that
he must resign. Instead of closing up
the Objectionable resorts, it seems he has
simply been making believe that he is
closing them But whether he resigns or
is forced out he will get a pensionof 49,
900 year. If he were removed for cause
he would not, of course, get the life PEN
sion. But it is alleged that the pension
is not matter of much consideration to
him, because he has a fortune of over
100000. The question is raised as to
where he got that money. He has been
on the police force the most of his life
since reaching mans estate, aud he, mas
received in all about s5s 900. Out of that
amount he has lived II is not known that
speculated successfully. The conclusion
is that he has received money for favors
from resorts forbidden by law.
Will the time ever come when It will be
possible to get chief of police in New
York who will have the confidence of the
public? 1t is hardly probable as long as
the one-man power prevails. The under
standing is that every man in municipal
politics in New York makes money in
any way he can--that is. he does not pay
strict regard to law or morality. And It
must be so in a city run as New York Is.
The question is being asked continually
as to how Mr. Croker makes
the money he spends so freely
1t is known that he has no
legitimate business, and has not had for
ever made any considerable amount of
money in any legitimate business. 1t Is
believed that he lives in some way off
the city of New York That being the
case 1t is not at all strange that the Of
ficehoders under his domination should
make money in Legitimate ways out of
the public 1t is. doubtful If the successor
Of the present chief of police whoever he
may be, will be an Improvement. For
little while he may enforce the laws
strictly, but he will soon yield, in all
probability to the temptation to get rich
quickly That has been the history of
other chiefs. There Is very little proba-
bility that there will be a change for the
better as long as the boss and his lieu
tenants have the reputation OF having
incomes from sources about which they
do not care to have the public know

"Ex-President Harrison continues to

These are very grave charges.to make,
and Mr.. Lee doubtless has done some
investigating before he would presume to.
make them. Iftrue, it accuses the county
board as very inefficient ane almost
criminally derilect in their duties in the
matter, and charges gross neglect and
cruelty on the part Of those who board
the poor.i@
Personally we have no special knoWl-
edge Of the pauper business except in
this locality. In and about Pembina
there are about halfsa dozen permanent
paupers, mostly sent from other parts Of
the county, and the total value of these
as farm workers would not nearly equal
one ordinary farm hand. Not one Of
these is an ''imposter" or parasite. ;"
As to their keeping, we have inquired of
several Of the paupers personally in Mrs.
IGerardine's care, and the testimony is
unanimous and hearty to the effect that
not only is the board excellent, but that
they have the kindest Of care at all times,
for which she gets $40 per month for
board and washing for each pauper.
We oppose the purchase Of a poor
farm on purely financial grounds. II
Brother Lee will prove his statements,
or any other person or persons, we are
open to conviction, and the moment
that we believe it will pay, will be
heartily in favor of such purchase. where
ever it may be situated.
| Now, we suggest that a few actual
facts and instances of pauper parasites"
and "lmposters," and cruel keepers of
the poor, such as Editor Lee assumes to
know about, will go farther to prove the
desirabiity of poor farm than personal
squibs and s!urs about ''Wardwell." Let
us have your proof. Charles; that's what
the people want.
Incidental to this discussion. we under
stand that resolution will be introduced
at the present meeting of the county
board to prepare detailed statement OF
| the cost and other particulars in refer
ence to paupers, to be presented at the
lJuly meeting of the board, which we
believe will be a good thing to do for the
consideration Of the people. s '
