FRAUDS IN MANILA
Shortage is Now Estimated at
$l85. 600.

Manila, April Lieutenant Fred
erick Boyer, of the Thirty-ninth
volunteer infantry, chief commissary
for the second district of the depart
ment of the Southern LuZon, has ar
rived at Calamba, province of Laguana,
where he has been charged with mis-
appropriating fifty cases of bacon and
with other Irregularities.
1t is alleged the shortage in the
commiSSary department in Manila
aggregates $lS5.000.
This associated press dispatch as
well as some Others escaped the vigil
ance of Gen. Macarthur. With him,
and with the administration at Wash
ington, it is deemed disloyal for cor
respondents to send news which re-
fleets upon the integrity of the men
who administer public affairs in
Manila or the Philippines. When Rice
the editor of paper at Manila dis
covered these frauds, and published
them, he was called upon to retract,
but instead he proposed to furnish
evidence of tdeir truth, and because
of his obstinate determination to eX-
pose this wholesale robbery of the
government and of the people by the
government officials there, he was
placed under arrest by the military
officials, his paper suppressed and Mr..
Rice sent home to Minnesota.
Depor tatien, Punishment and con-
fiscation of property was his reward
for telling what1snow, admitted truth.
With free, untrameled, vigilant
public press in the United States and
an alert, educated public opinion, it
is difficult to keep corruption, bribery
and public theft out of the manage
ment of public affairs. With the same
censorship of the press here that Nc
Arthur and the administration would
have in Manila, plumber Of the public
would run riot here, as it has in
Manila. The men sent over there as
public functionaries were politicians
OF the lowest order at home: men
largely, whose hands could hardly be
kept from grasping and getting away
with everything in sight, and movable.
With the government to which re-
sponsible seven Thousand miles away
what is to be expected but that they
will make the most of their present
opportunity. The government there
is what the republicans undertook to
establish for the South: a government
OF carpet baggers and thieves. The
frauds and thefts perpetrated in the
South by that government aggregated
nearly billion of dollars. The same
class now has it's opportunity in the
Philippines.

MAKE GREAT CLAIMS.
Iowa Men Invent nm Engine Device
Which They Say Will Do Away
with the Dead Center

A mechanical device that is expected
to cause revolution in the mechanical
world has been patented by two OF
tumwa men, N. a. Baker and w. w.
Rankin. 1t is piece of machinery
by which the dead center" on an en-
CINE is done away with. 1t has been
tried and found successful. BY it's use
locomotive may be run with one ps-
ton only. The points of advantage
claimed for the device over those now
in use are:
]. A gain of q Ali per cent. power by
abolishing the dead center by a continuous
drive upon the verge of the wheel for its
center revolution.
cent of power by doing away with the li-
asonal stroke of the driving bars Of an en-
CINE.
s. 1t renders unnecessary one-half of the
steam machinery of locomotive or trac-
ton engine
A. 1t secures equal pressure for the entire
revolution Of the driving wheel or shaft.
s. 1t saves fuel to the extent that 1t saves
power.
g. 1t increases the earning capacity of a
locomotive and the power of an engine by
about Al per cent
q 1t renders eccentrios unnecessary.
s. The engine can be stopped or started
at any point with equal facility.

adopted urging upon those present to

ducing unity of action among the pubs

Crimes and RIunders.

A Hartford paper says, SIT is not
yet criminal offense for the Presi-
dent of the United States to confer
with Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan"
No-but there are blunders that are
worse than crimes. And it was GER
tainly blunder of the first magni-
tude for Mr.. Morgan to suggest and
for the President to make the appoint
ment of chief council of the Steel
Trust as Attorney-General.
1t was not "a criminal offense" for
President Cleveland to confer with
Mr.. Morgan five years ago as to the
sale of $100,0OO,OOO in bonds. But
when it was announced that Mr. Nor
CAMS syndicate was to get the whole
issue at loaf, though bonds of SINH
lar character were quoted in the
market at llS, The World protested.
1t appealed to the President and to
the country with such effect that the
blunder was corrected, and the bonds,
offered to the people, were subscribed
for six times over and fetched an av-
erage price Of nearly 112-netting to
the Treasury $6,SSS,836 more than it
would have got under the arrange
ment made at the secret conference"
with Mr.. Morgan.
The appointment Of Mr.. Knox is
doable-barEelled blunder, which if not
corrected will inevitably injure both
the Administration and the great
steel corporation. It will do more
than any other single actof the Presi-
dent could do to convince the people
that Ptutocracy really triumphed in
the election, under cover of a defense
OF the currency. II the Steel Trust
can select the Minister OF Justice, to
whose care is committed the eaecu-
zion OF the laws against trusts and
other monopolies, what limit is there
20 Its power: And what protection is
there for the peoplef
This great trust and kindred organ
izations may by this move OF Mr.. Nor
gan be safeguarded for four years
against Federal interference. But is
TIA wise and prudent action thus to
justify the apprehensions felt and the
predictions made in the Presidential
campaign as to the aims of the plutoc-
racy? It's, as Shakespeare says, lex
ceient to have a giants strength
but it is sometimes more than "tyran-
NOUS" it is foolish, "to use it like a

1t Is refreshing in these days of
scientific child-culture to find at
mr. .s,a,l. sin least one educator
of reputation who
does not think
that the virtue has all departed
from the slipper and the shingle of
other days. Prof. Stanley G. Hall,
who addressed the Illinois Congress
of Mothers at its meeting recently,
threw down the gantlet in the face
of those who declare that 1.-The child's
will must never be thwarted," and de-
clared that the old-fashioned DR..
Spank" was still needed in every
nursery. He declared that one of the
most important lessons child can
learn is that of obedience, and that it
is impossible to teach that lesson
without Furnishing disobedience. In
this conclusion, says the Chicago
Tribune, almost every parent will
agree. Moral suasion and "sugges-
ton" are proper as far as they go,
but there is still room and necessity
for an occasional thou shalt not"
Else the grownup child will be likely
to run his head against stone wall,
which he might have avoided if he
had learned early in life the virtue
of discipline and the stern fact that
Mother Nature Furnishes her children
when they braal her laws
