The campaigns and battles of the

ing magnitude. There were more
than Il score of single battles
sometimes extending over several
days. in each of which the losses
i'm killed and wounded on the federal
side were greater than the aggregate
of all our losses in all our other wars
combined. How paItry seem the
1000 killed and wounded in the war
of 1912. or the war i'm Mexico. or the
war with Spain, compared with the

A jag That Proves Costly to the
Country


Country.
Two United States warships with
| three admirals aboard are steaminp
across the Pacific with their prows
pointed toward one of our new and
numerous distant isles. The one wee
speck on the map of the world toward
which the iron clads are speeding is
Guam. Guam is not unknown to
fame. Indeed. for Il little island so
remote II has q large share of prOmi-
ncnce. and it IL now one of our penal
colonies. where the imperial military
powers in the Philippines send men
who have been fighting against being
governed without their consent.
Since an American captain entered
the harbor of Pago Page some three
years ago and ran up the stars and
stripes there has been something do
ing in Guam almost continually. For
three hundred years previously the
Mountaineering natives had Iolled i'm
the sunshine of their perpetual sum
mer. permitting nature to do all the
agricultural work. Then one fine dav
came stern seadog Capt. Leary. who
ordered the inhabitants to wear
clothes and raise hens instead of
fighting cocks. Apparently Capt.
Leary did all there was TO do in the
way of exciting interest i'm Guam. for
his successoB, Capt. TiIley. is report
ed to have taken TO strong drink and
to be in the enjoyment of a continual
jag.
This is why the two warships are
steaming across the Pacific with
three of our numerous admiraIs
aboard. These officers have been sent
post haste. with others accompany
ing them. to hold Il court of inquiry
To ascertain whether it is true that
Capt. Tilley's jag is contrary to the
rules and regulations of the service.
and whether during his exhiIiration
he has conducted himself as becomes
an officer of the navy.
This trial will stand unique i'm naval
history because of the immense ex-
pense attached to it. The Wisconsin
and SOlace. the two warshipS taking
the officers to the island. will con-
sumo 100000 worth of coal: officers
and crews must be paid while i'm this
service; detached officers must re-
turn home by passenger ships. and
the total cost of the investigation. it
is estimated. will run up to S15O,OOO.
This is Il big price to pay for a jag
even in Page Page.

In arranging for the service of

False Republican Claims.

There having been a disposition in
some quarters to- term the result

York a republican, victory" the
Chicago Tribune, one of the mouth
pieces of the claim-everything party,
declares mo graver error of iudg-
ment or taste can well be commit
ted" Says the Tribune, further on
the subject: New York is normally
a democratic city. 1t is so anti-re-
republican that il was carried by
Bryan last year. That city was not
carried by the republicans last Tues
day, nor was the democratic party
defeated There was fusion of
the best elements of both political
parties to support Seth Low Some
vicious and criminal republicans vot-
ed against it. Tens of thousands of
good democrats voted for it. Seth
Low is a republican. but he is an in
one. He is so independent
that he voted for Cleveland and prob
ably for many other democratic can
didates.
The man on the fusion ticket
who made the most spectacular and
forceful campaign and who ran
of votes ahead of Low in
the boroughs. of Manhattan ana
Bronx, in which alone votes were
cast for the county office for which
he was running, is not republican.

HOPEFUL VIEW OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.
FURTHER SERIOUS TROUBLE WITH
THE TRIBES

Washington. March 6-The annual report of the
Board OF Indian Commissioners expresses a con-
hdent view OF the Indian situation. and says that
the policy Of justice pursued by the government
and the better knowledge Of the power and re-
sources Of the government Of the United States
which prevails among all the Indian tribes
will render improbable any renewals of serious riot
ing and attempted There is need of a COM
prehensive and continuous policy OF administra-
ton in Indian affairs which shall look to the speedy
extinction OF a separate bureau for Indians and
separate Indian administration. One of the diff
culties in administration has been the pressure by
whites TO secure possession Of the large areas Of
lands held by the Indians and of them
now that the disappearance OF game has deprived
them OF their value hunting lands. The report
recommends the choice of competent men as Ind
ian agents and permanent tenure for the agents
who show themselves qualified. 1t also recommends
the breaking of the Indian trust funds into in
dividual holdings, and the fixing of date at which
these holdings shall be paid to the Indians en-
titled 10 them. 1t is urged that Indian children
be placed in the public schools of the States and
Territories wherever II is practicable. The report
says that the work OF allotting lands to the Mis-
sion Indians of California should be resumed and
completed.
