t.rculntion Statement.
The Mar on Funston.

It appears that the determination OF
officers connected with the Adjltant
Generals end of the War Department
10 prevent Funstnn's promotion to
brigadier generalship in the regular
army has not changed in any de-
gree They are thoroughly wrought up
over the matter and are industTiously
engaged in the noble game OF bclitlinS
the achievement of the brave kansan.
This may seem hard thing 10 say OF
officers and gentlemen. but it Is a fact
which would create more surprise per
haps If we had not grown used To eN-
hibitions of the same spirit in the Navy
Department in trying to rob Admiral
Schley OF the honors of Santiago and
having them conferred upon the dis
credited Sampson. who was not pres
ent at the engag cement
The spiteful feeling manifested to-
ward Funston, we are sorry to say, IS
extended to General Macarthur, who IS
being roundly abused for giving the
former a chance 20 distinguish himself
just when the Adjutant Generals Office
had completed its arrangements To eject
him from the service. and for cabling
General Wheaton's recommendation
that Aguinaldo's captor be made a
brigadier We are EXTREMITY sorry
to hear that Secretary Root has taken
side strongly in opposition to Funston
The leading journals Of the country
today generally express the view
that public opinion viii force Mr.
Mckinley 10 brush his War II II

we have some doubt Next to Mr.
Hanna. the President Is more thorough
y controlled by 5Ir- Root than by any
other living force OF influence. i the
latter should be firm IN demanding a
denial OF justice to General Funston,
there IS possibly some reason 10 fear
that Mr.. Mckinley. while recognizing
a plain duty might decide 10 ignore
it We hope. however. that popular sen
fiment on the question may prove Wig
orous enough TO jolt M Root from his
present position, IN which case the gal
