Is This True ?

A recent letter from Washington, d. c.,
says
The task before the Democrats may be
rendered somewhat easier than is now ex
pected if the prevailing report that a ring is
seeking TO syndicate the Government patron
age shall prove to be true. This ring it is
said. consists of Mr. Hanna as chief, with
Elkins, Manley, Kerens, and two or three
other members of the old guard as lieuten-
ants. Recognizing the futility of the talk
about Mckinley and a third term, these men
wish to compel the selection as candidate OF
a man whom they can control.
s'Their programme starts with the disnIs-
sal from Office of everyone now to position
to dispense patronage who refuses to use. or
let them use, his authority for their special
ends. Among the men marked for retire
ment are Secretary Hitchcock, Postmaster
General Smith, Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow, and Pension Commissioner
Evans, for whose places they have in view poll
ticians of the yielding sort, or sympathlzers with
their purpose When they have obtained con
troll of all the Postoffice patronage, and looted
the Pension and Indian Bureaus and the Land
Office of all there is in them worth having for
political provender they will be in a position
to look about for candidate. To the man
who will consent to keep his hands off and let
them have their way with patronage ana
money distribution during the succeeding four
years, they will be able to offer the nomina-
ton. If they carry out this plan, the Repub-
can party is sure to fall by its own rottenness.

The Philippines OWL Service

"Civil service rules in the Philippines"
declares the Philadelphia North American,
'.apply according TO the color of the Govern
ment employees skin. IF he is white he is
paid full salary; if brown, half salary. The
race line is expressly drawn by authority of
the Taft Commission.
Naturally, the Filipinos, who are proud
people, resent this mark Of inferiority, and a
number of them have resigned after accepting
employment with the Government
IF the Filipinos are to besa contented and
orderly people we must win their affection
and loyalty. To begin by declaring on every
occasion that they are not our equals in the
eyes of the law. especially when we live and
work side by side with them, as our civil em
ployes do in the Philippines, promises ill for
the success of our colonial experiment Our
mission in the islands is one of benevolent.

Editorial Notes.


G. Davis for sheriff and Thomas A. Robinson
for clerk of the circuit court by the Republi-
cans of Baltimore city is bitter pill, and as
soon as Senator McComas returns some def
mite action will be taken to remove them from
the ticket. Republicans, who are such from
conviction, and not for Office, and who are adj
visers in the ranks. viii not support men with
such unsavory records.
Ip its political resume the Baltimore Amer
Jean of last Sunday gives some inside work
ings of the Republican party in that city. 1t
speaks of deals, compacts, secret meetings,
programs arranged, &C., and says:
The most interesting thing about the whole
affair TO those conversant with the terms OF
the compact between Mr.. Stone and Mr..
Mason is the course Senator MeComas will
adopt when he returns to Baltimore. That
he will be angry is admitted by all He does
not take kindly to hnkes. and one of the first
things he is expected to do is to take Mr..
Mason to one side, ask him kindly where all
those Columbian Club votes were that MIR.
Mason agreed to deliver, and when Mr. Mason
fails to account for them, TO whisper in his
ear something like this:
APm awfully sorry, but this puts different
face on that little matter of the posimastership,
about which we have been talking. You know
I'd like to keep my promise, but we have got
to look out for the party interests, and really
think we had better put man there when tue
time comes who has some votes behiad him.
The indications are for shot time" in Re-
publican circles within the next sixty days,
and il is very evident that there will be some
thing DOING between now and the election.

Japan has just erected monument to Com

to the world by arbitrary proceedings in 1858,
and the younger generation now show their
appreciation Of what was condemned by their
predecessors. All the habits and customs,
nearly, have been changed, and the Japan OF
today is almost the equal of any other nation,
and as an evidence of gratitude to the Com
modore they have erected q statue to his
memory,
