Chafee's Grave Charges.
[FrOm Philadelphia Evening Bulletin

From Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
In the fraternal compliments exchanged
between the military commanders in China,
endorsed in some cases by their govern
ments at home, General Chaffee has not
received the need of praise and congratula-
tions extended to the officers Of European
troops. In General Chaffee's report to the
War Department possible reason may be
found for this notable exclusion. 1t has
been known for some time past that the
American commander has been free to
express his disapproval of the conduct of the
allied troops and especially those of Ger
many and of France, on the march to Pekin
and during the occupancy of that city. In
his present report he makes official charges
that, although couched in moderate Ian
guage, are evidently inspired by hot indig-
nation. He declares in effect that the
European soldiers were guilty of indiscrim-
mate slaughter of the Chinese and of
wholesale robbery wherever they went
Looting was not only commonly but univer-
sally practised, both men and officers APP
propriating whatever property they wanted
and wherever they could lay hands on it.
Shooting down innocent and peaceful peo-
pie was going on all the time, and the
General makes the astonishing assertion
that for every one of the Boxers killed in
warfare there were at least fifty innocent
men, women and children massacred by the
wayside and in the streets of the capital.
This is certainly the most remarkable
indictment ever brought against military
expedition by an officer taking part there
in. General Chaffee has the confidence of
his countrymen, and it will lot be believed
that he is capable of making such astonish-
ing statements without the support of solid
facts behind him. But it is no more than
reasonable to presume that he will be asked
to bring forward these facts, substantiated
by indisputable testimony, on demand from
the military officials involved in the
charges he so gravely presents.

Philadelphia offered $4,000, 600 of thirty
year water bonds at public sale last Mon
day, bearing interest at per cent, and
just one bid for $1,000 responded. The
sale had been literally advertised and every
effort made to attract purchasers. All sorts
of apologies are offered in extenuation of
the total failure of the city to float its
water bonds, but the Record is honest
enough to render the true solution. It said
editorially on Tuesday:
ssThe Record takes no pleasure in record
ing the failure of the effort to place the
latest issue of city bonds, but it must admit
that more complete failure never before
followed upon the loan offerings of this or
any other American municipality.
seThere must be reason for this fiasco.
1t is not because Philadelphia cannot pay
her obligations that this loan has not been
taken. The hundreds of millions of prop
erty that afford security for Philadelphia's
promises to pay are still held by thrifty
citizens whose industry and economy
created the enormous aggregate 1t is not
because there is not enough and to spare OF
capital seeking investment At but a shade
above the rate of interest offered by Phila-
delphia little municipalities all over the
State can borrow all they want. The city
Of New York recently found no difficulty
in placing loan at 2.22 per cent.
tsWhy is it, then, that Philadelphia has
passed out of the rank of highest credit,
and in order to float her loans must offer an
increased rate of interest that will duly
reflect the current capitalistic estimate of
the increased financial risk involved? 1t is
because the people Of Philadelphia have
allowed the management Of their affairs to
pass into the hands of men whose methods
destroy rather than inspire confidence that
but S., coo was offered when nine millions
was asked for
tsIt is character that commands the high
est premium in all the affairs of life, and
Philadelphia as municipality must pay
the inevitable penalty Of bad reputation.
Therefore, the rate Of interest has been
marked up.

In Justice to Mr.. Gage.

Secretary Gage" says the London
Times, represents and upholds the most
narrow and most vexatious fiscal policy of
customs extortion ever known in the
history of the United States" And this
is typical of the character of attack upon
Mr.. Gage both at home ard abroad since
he declared his two great trade wars upon
two of our best foreign customers.
But is it just?
The present tariff is in the main the
reward of the great combines" for their
Campaign contributions" in 1896-the
great monopolistic trusts which are pre-
dominant in the councils of the Republic
can party.
He is a secretary, not an executive. He
obeys orders. It is unjust to blame him
for this 'tmost narrow and most vexatious
fiscal policy" It is not his policy He is
only an uncommonly faithful and obedi-
ent and assiduous servant. World.

True american: "When the Legislature
decreed that the distribution of the State
school money to the school districts should
be upon the basis of school attendance,
instead of the school census, it was claimed
that the change would diminish the chance
for that misrepresentation which had pre-
vailed in some places under the old system.
But the outlook is that the chances have
been increased. The State Board of Educa-
tion has sent out blanks for the report Of
school attendance, but an examination of
the facts show that there is so much varia-
ton in what may constitute an attendance
as to leave much more to the judgment of
the reporting officer than is deemed either
wise or safe.
