ACQUITTAL OF WALLER.

Major Waller. who was tried by
court martial at Manila for torturing
and executing native Filipinos without
trial. has been acquitted.
Major Waller pleaded at his trial
that he only obeyed orders, and that
General Jacob Smith gave him orders
to kill all above ten years old who
exhibited a disposition to antagonize
him 1t is the duty of a soldier to obey
orders, and in acquIttlng Waller the
officers WHO constituted the court mar
tial were evidenuy convinced that Wal
Ter only did his duty.
But somebody must be responsible.
1t is now in order to put General Smith
on trial If he ordered Waller to torture
and execute the natives without trial
on his own responsibility he ought to
be turned out of the army in disgrace,
if not sent to Jail or shot.
Can Smith, if put on trial, plead that
be only obeyed orders when he in
structed Waller? If so, who ordered
him? Chaffee? Root? Roosevelt?

the ballot-box has peculiar sacred
ness. 1t is the one thing which, next to
the flag, stands for our rights and
privileges and duties. The man who
tampers with it is a felon under the
laws of all the States and Territories.
We think it does make difference
in ultimate results whether the ignor-
ant, stupid, or Indifferent man goes to
the polls or stays at home. Elections
are generally decided by the votes of
men who follow the lead of others
the floating votes. They are almost
certain to be captured by one side or
the other Therefore 1t is natural and
proper for boll sides-each of which
is the right side, in its opinion--to Try
to influence them. In the ideal re-
public, when it comes along, there W.
be intelligence. integrity, and high
sense of civic duty behind every bal
lot. Meanwhile, we fear that more
culpable class than the voting cattle
who are at the service OF the local
bosses everywhere will continue to
promote bad government. We refer TO

SANCTITy OF THE BRLLOT BOX.

The San Francisco Post has queer
idea of the sanctity of the ballot of an
American citizen Our San Francisco
contemporary evidently believes Lat
there ought to be different departments
in the ballot box. and that the weight
of the ballot ought to be measured ny
the influence of the voter who cast 1t.
The Post says:
There is nothing inherently sacred
about dropping a slip Of paper into a
~ooden box Young itself is valueless
unless there Is a definite. intelligent
principle behind ii all When the citi-
u tails through ignorance or stnp-
tltN or Indifference, To preceive real
ISSUE in the contest it can make no
difference in the ultimate results
whether he goes to the polls or re-
mains at home He VIII have contri~
buted nothing but a meaningless slip
ui paper to the cause of popular
sovereignty. and a meaningless slip
of paper stuffed into a ballot box IS no
more potent for progress in demo-
cracy than a meaningless slip OF paper
stuffed into garbage box.
There is nothing inherently sacred
about a piece of white goods silk,
bunting or muslin A good American
might see it trodden upon, or even
spit upon, without getting excited. But
let the Stars and Stripes be stamped
or stitched on that piece of goods and
it instantly becomes sacred. To insult
it in the presence of patriotic Ameri-
cans is, to incur risk of serious per-
sonal injury. To protect it from dis
honor the nation would go to war with
any power or combination of powers
on earth. There is nothing sacred
about a wooden box or dropping waste
paper into it, II it be merely box. But

THE RHODES WILL.

1t is the usual thing for everybody
to join in a swelling chorus of adula-
ton when a rich man gives up small
portion of what he has extorted from
the people, to build library, or in his
last will and testament leaves sum
of money to be used for educational
purposes.
The habit is so strong and fixed that
no one in most cases. stops to scrutin-
ize the conditions under which the
money is given or the motives the man
had in thus disposing of his wealth.
The principle, Don't look gift
horse in the mouth" has had very
w.oe application indeed.
1t is gratifying. therefore. to see that
a few Americans who have heads in
stead of noddies. have not hestitated
to subject the will of Cecil Rhodes 10
the critical analysis 1t deserves in view
of its e-eminently political char
acter.
Mr.. Rhodes was always an audacious
man. and he was never more audaci-
Gus than when he made provision Tor
giving the flower of American youth an
English instead of an American edu-
cation.
There is too much imitation OF Eng
lish customs and institutions in this
country now to be entirely wholesome
for the American body polite Ameri-
can youth should be educated at home
and even at home the educational insti-
tutions should be subjected to close
scrutiny. Universities endowed by
millionaries who won their wealth
through unjust taxation are not as
general rule favorable breeding ground
for independent freemen..

J " hints that the investigation ordered
I by the administration into the nature
and conduct OF the British camp at
Chalmette, bids fair to be mere farce
I This was to be expected. The admin
istration has known all along that
British supply camps were maintained
in this country, and the sending of an
officer 10 New Orleans to make an in
vestigation, was merely but serving
notice on the British to get things In
order for favorable report.
The attitude of the State Depart
ment is no doubt correctly stated
in the following extract from a Wash

Times
While the State Department will

into the correctness of any such
charges. preferred by any responsible
person, such as the Governor of Louisi-
ana it is believed that even now the
department is not without it's own
ideas as to what is going on at Chal-
mette. and this knowledge has not
shaken the departments original view
that these operations are entirely law
full and that there is no power in the
national or State government to pre-
vent them, so long as the shipments
from Chamlete are confined 20 horses

Indeed. it is but a short time since
