VII AILs FREDERICK FUNsTON?

WHAT Ais FREDERICK FUNSTON?
Dewey was discredited and practi-
cally rebuked for his decision in the
Schley case. Miles was reprimanded
for agreeing with the hero of Manila
bay. According to the powers that be
miles talked too much" What is the
matter with Funston? He is evident
" sophomore and knows more now
than he will several years hence.
1t was supposed that the roasting he
received from the press some time ago
would act as a stringent, and that he
would dry up. In his former utteran-
ces he as good as said that those who
disagreed with the policy of the admin
sstration in the Philippines deserved
to be hung.
In a speech In Denver last Saturday,
at banquet of the Sons of the Amer
lean Revolution, he referred to Sen
ator Hoar as a "man suffering with an
over heated couscience;' and others
he styled peanut politicians who gam
bled in the blood of their country
men If the administration is really
opposed to army officers talking too
much" why does it not apply the rule
to the natatOrial hero of the Bagbag?
The fact of the case seems to be that
Funston's sudden elevation has turned
his head. No one cares much about
his sayings, and few put much stress
upon the words of the little fellow
with the piping voice. But it is a real
grief to his real friends and sincere ad-
mirers to witness his vanity and con-
ceit, and with a possible splendid
future before him to find him making
such a fool of himself Funston has
not learned the wisdom of the good
old proverb that silence is golden"

Curiosity as to Eugene +. Ware.

curiosity a. 10 Eugene r. " are
From Kansas City World.
The fact that President Roosevelt
went west of the Mississippi for a pen
sion commissioner to succeed H. Clay
Evans seem to be irritating the eastern
press.
One New York paper passes mp the
appointment with the inquiry "WhO is
Eugene F. Ware, any way?@
The Boston Herald remarks, And
still everybody wants to know who the
duce Eugene F. Ware. of Topeka, Kan
IS"
The esteemed New York World goes
more into detail, and informs its read
ers as follows:
''The most that the public knows of
Eugene F. Ware, who has been APP
pointed by the president to succeed
Pension Commissioner Evans, is that
he is the author Of some rather bad
doggereI poetry His views on pen
siOns, judging from his brief interview,
appear to be that every old soldier who
deserves a pension ought to have one,
and that all who want pensions deserve
them. This tells, better than a vol
ume Of explanations and promotions,
why Evans goes and Ware comes"
1t might be said, without any feeling
in the matter, that it is not at all nee
essary that New York and Massachu-
sets should have a speaking acquaint-
enc with Mr.. Ware He can doubtless
make a very competent official al
though New York and New England
may not be on his visiting list The
fact is that New York and Boston
know very little about the west or
western people, anyway. Some of the
most esteemed, if not the most prom
inent, men in the west are never heard
Of east Of Railway, y. J.
The western people are less provin-
ciaL They fully understand that there
is a small section Of country in the
northeastern part of the United States
called New England, the soil of which
is so unprOductive that even a disturb
ance could not be raised on it, but
which has produced some very eminent
men. Nor are they unacquainted with
those people of New York who have at
tanned sufficient prominence or notori-
ETY. to get their names in the papers.
such as Lawyer Patrick and Valet
Jones, etc.
The slur thrown out by the New York
World as to the reason Of Mr.. ROOse-
velt's selection Of Mr.. Ware was entire
" unwarranted The old soldiers of
Kansas we're working tooth and mail
for some one else, and the appoint
ment came as a surprise to both them
and the politicians. The only backing
he had was the personal knowledge of
the president that he was honest and
competent and was withal a genial
gentleman.

Merchants Of Reading, Pa, to the
Of 200 conferred together and
declared it to be their united intention
to do no advertising except in news
papers. They viii have no more to do
with bill boards in the city or sign
boards in the country. They have
promised themselves and each other to
put no more advertisements in hotel
charts, programmes, cook
books, dodgers, pamphlets or anything
else Of that sort. They feel certain
that their plan Of operation will prove
a wise one and that they will have
better value for the money expended.

A SUGAR SHOW down.

The house Of representative has
passed the Cuban reciprocity bill,
granting a 20 per cent reduction of the
tariff on raw sugar imported from
Cuba, provided, by an amendment,
that when the new schedule is put in
force, the 'differentiaI" tariff of I.S25
cents per pound on all refined sugar
be taken off. This is both fair and
reasonable, and will save 100000
annually to the American consumer.
1t is now up to the senate, but as the
sugar refining trust is understood to
be strongly intrenched in the senate,
it is extremely doubtful that the sen
ate viii concur in the house bill. At
any rate the vote in the senate viii
show whether Havemeyer owns the
United States senate or not. The Am
ericsn house Of lords will have to show
their hands. If the senate defeats the
bill, relief for Cuba viii not only be de-
MED but it wiz prove that the senate
Is controlled by the sugar refining
trust. The differential represents the
protection to the trust, its immense
profits and its extortionate exactions
from the people. Beet sugar is refined
as made and the bill passed by the
house removes the principal objection
the beet sugar men have urged against
Cuban reciprocity.

ADMINISTRATIONS OF GOLD.


1t is estimated that the KIOndike

uct viii crowd close on the same figure
if recent big strikes in that camp are

Africa, which now seems probable, will
release an additional flow of the yell

mountain district of Idaho, it is esti-
mated, will equal the KIondike.
1t is about time that the money bags
put up howl for the characterization
Of gold, or at least the restriction of its
coinage. 1t is fact well known to the
initiated that the national Shylocks
care little what money is made of, gold,
silver, or bank paper, just so it is not
plentiful. Plenty Of money decreases
the value of their holdings and lessons
the power of their exactions. They
conspire to control the money market

FUNSTON MUST SHUT UP.
The President Reprimands the General
and says His Criticisms Of Senators
Must Cease

Washington, April 23--By order Of the
president Gen. Funston has been directed
to cease further discussion of public
questions.
The president has telegraphed Gen.
Funston not to speak at the Middlesex
banquet IN Boston.
By direction of President Roosevelt.
Col Sanger, acting secretary of war,
addressed the following letter to Gen.
Funston, at Denver:
4 am directed by the president to in
struct you that he wishes you to cease
further public discussion of the situation
10 the Philippines, and also to express
his regret that you should make a sena
tor Of the United States the object oi
public criticism or discussion"
No one is surprised at the emphatic
manner il which Gen. Funston has been
called down. His interviews and speeches
made a number Of senators who had op
posed the administration policy in the
Philippines indignant. The indiscTetiOn
is regarded as absolutely inexcusable
| He referred to Senator Hoar as suffering
from an overheated Conscience In
other interviews and speeches Gen. Fun
is reported as saying that those Oppos
ing the present policy in the Philippine:
were traitors and that be would rather
hang anti-imperialists than FilipinOs.

STRANGER HELD UP AND ROBBED IN BROAD
DAYLIGHT AT THE SHORT LINE DEPOT

explained to W. H McAllister, the sta
ton agent, what had happened, and
appeared to be quiet indignant that
there was no officer convenient. He
wanted to go out on the morning
train, but owing to the robbery de-
ferred his trip until evening.
There is much complaint because no
officer is stationed at the depot at early
hours. The depot people complain that
there are always people hanging
around the depot, but no one seems to
have the authority TO ascertain their
business. Some of the people who
hang around the waiting room are
loungers who would not hesitate to rob
a man if he had money and was easy
TO get at. There seems TO be urgent
need for depot policeman who will be
on duty all the time. At present the
officer does not go on until o'clock in
the afternoon. and he is relieved at IL
O'Clock at night. The train service in
the morning surpasses that of the
afternoon and there is more need of an
officer then.

A brace of highwaymen operated in
broad daylight yesterday morning and
made quite a haul The name of the
victim was not learned The stranger
bought a ticket for the south at the Of
fee OF the Oregon Short Line and after
ward took a walk around the depot. He
expected TO go out on the train which
leaves the station at 1855.
He was standing at the end of the
depot when he was approached by two
strangers. One OF them asked him
what time il was and he made move
ment 10 get his watch. One of the
highwaymen then grabbed him by the
throat and the other went through his
pockets. In searching the stranger
the highwayn1en tore his clothing badly
and ripped his trousers on one side
from the pocket nearly the entire
length. They secured about $50 in cash
and fed. They did not take the
Strangers watch nor his ticket
The stranger made a search for an
officer, but the patrolman does not go
on duty 50 early in the morning. He
