this body too many OF its members have
taken advantage of the license of the time,
of the difficulty of effective policing in the
midst OF a great crowd and of their posi-
tons as guests to misbehave more or less
seriously. The Washington police have
learned to regard the announcement of the
coming of numerous Pennsylvania regt-
meuts as warning Of trouble But their
experience, while sharpening their antici-
patton of disorder caused by the Keystone
| men. has also taught them that 1t Is wise

appearance of persecution on the basis of

impulse of previously formed police bias.
however to cause friction between the
Pennsylvania troops and the local eenstab-
ulary this year.
There Is no full estimate yet computed OF
the fulf DAMAGE which, without the least
suspicion of prejudice may be traced def
nitely 20 the disorderly acts of Pennsylva-
nit mlitiamen. but the total is sure to he
considerable. The proposed inquiry will re-

This game experience might have been
had wish2'troops of any other states had
they been sufficiently numerous. There may
have been and doubtless were occasional
instances of rowdyism on the part of SOL
diers from other states. But the Pennsyl-
vania division overwhelmed all others IN
point OF numbers and the trouble grew in
consequence. There may be some exag-
geration in the unofficial statements OF the
AFFAIR In its general and its detailed phases,
and perhaps some of the offenses have been
unjusty charged against Pennsylyanians
as a result of popular suspicion. But there
Is too much reliable ocular evidence Of both
the frequency of the offenses and the iden-
the charge that too many of the Pennsyl-
vania troops acted in manner both to
deepen the local prejudice and to cause res

states prestige. ....-

Endorsing the Nap.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

II will be noted with pleasure that the
Medical Record sanctions the habit of TAX
ing a half hour nap after the midday
luncheon There IS no doubt that as q
strengthened for the arduous duties at the
afternoon card table 1t is most excellent
practice The Record says that it will not
interfere with good nights sleep, and
this, too will be appreciated by those who
do not retire until the early hours of next
morning. The genus tramp can be relied
upon to heartily indorse the mapping idea,
and can be counted on to willingly offer
himself as an example of It's beneficial re-
suits.
In short, there is no doubt that IL crow
bar could be inserted in the wheels of bust
ness and society requirements, and their in
world took It's tfirty-minute snooze. hu-
manity would be much the gamer through
losing, as 1t were. this precious half hour.

Should BE Investigated.


From The Fittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
The assault upon Lieut.. Evans of the
Americas Club by Lieut.. Cooper Of the
Porto Rlcan battalion at Washington city
appears to have been without the faintest
shadow of excuse, and it is hoped that a
thorough investigation will be made into the
circumstances. The War Department owes
1t to itself and to the country to ascertain
whether 1t is the cheerful custom of Lieut.
Cooper to slash around promiscuously with
his sword. The fact that this officer is at
tached to the Porto Rican battalion makes
the investigation the more necessary The
inquiry should go beyond the unjustifiable
attack upon a civilian at the capital city of
the nation, and should endeavor to find out
whether this lieutenant Is accustomed to
treat Porto Ricans in this way, and whether
other officers in that island have adopted
the Spanish method of making their authori-
ty felt.

The Savannah morning news., 1901-04-24

In the last issue of The CommOner Slr.
Bryan undertakes TO show Mr.. Waiter
son of the Louisville Courier-Journal that
he is making a great mistake in surren-
dering to the Republicans on the question
of imperialism. He says: Mr.. Watterson
advises his party to raise the white flag
on the question of Imperialism.
1t will be noticed that he adopts the Re
publican theory that God is responsible
for what we have done: that it is mat
ter Of destiny. and that We are being
swept along by influences over which we
have no control"
Of course Mr.. Bryan does not take any
stock in anything of that kind. He points
out that Mr.. Watterson is not in the habit
of using such an argument to defend a
position he takes, and expresses surprise
that he should use it to excuse his sur
render on the Philippine question,
But it seems that some Of Mr.. Bryan's
strongest supporters in the presidential
campaign are surrendering on the Philip
pine question. For instance. the New
York Journal, the only paper of large
circulation that supported him in the
East, commenting on dead issues" says:
1T is evident that the silver mummy
has been finally sealed in its sarcophagus.
In the old strongholds of free coinage
the party has LOST ground; in the cities
whose people refuse to tolerate attacks
on the monetary standard it has gained.
Both silver men and their opponents thus
recognize the extinction of the issue.
1T is evident, too, that there Is no life
in what is inaccurately described as anti
imperialism" Real anti-imperialism, of
course, is impershable and irresistible.
Opposition to the policy of acquiring Sub
jects" and governing them through mill
itary proconsuls who suppress newspa-
pers and deport critics will never subside.
But the programme of abandoning the
Philippines to an Oriental despotism in
stead of endowing them with American
freedom cannot be made popular by call
ing it anti-imperialism."
1t looks very much from the foregoing
as If anti-imperiaism would cease to be
a party issue unless there should be de-
velopments connected with our possession
in the Far East that would take firmer
hold Of the conscience Of the country than
the determination to hold the Philippines
as a permanent possession has. If the
Filipinos accept American rule, as they
now seem inclined to do-the majority of
them having already taken the position
than ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will not be any
thing heard of "anti-imperialismi' in the
next presidential election.
