GEN. MILES TRIP
TO THE PHILIPPINES
1t Is Announced 1t VIII Be Given Over
osolely to Military
s.. Purposes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27.-It
developed that Gen. Miles application
to go to the. Philippines was of COM
paratively recent date and was in no
way. connected with his application of
several months ago. When the first
application was made it was met with
counter suggestions as to terminating
the war, and Secretary Roots refusal
to grant the first request was based
largely. upon these phases of the ap-
splicatlon. In view of this it is thought
that Gen. Miles restricted his second
application so as to make the trip
one for purely military purposes. Al
though the text of the application was
not given out at the war department,
it is said that one of it's features was
request that the return from the
Philippines be by way of the Eastern
route. AS the application was approx
ed, Gen. Miles will return by this
route, which will insure his visiting
Europe on his way back to America.
1t is expected that Mrs. Miles will
accompany the general to the Philip
pines and it may be that his married
daughter, who is the wife of Col. Re-
Der, one of the generals aids, will ac-
company the party. The general will
return tomorrow from his New Eng
land trip when his plan will be more
fully made known.
The order issued to Gen. Miles is
signed by William Carey Sanger, act
ing secretary of war, and is as fol-
lows:
War Department, Aug. Is, 1902
Sir have the honor to state that
your application for authority to in
spect that portion of the army serv-
ing in the Philippines is approved by
the president You will sail about the
18th of September, and in Inspecting
the condition of the army will give
particular attention to its instruction,
discipline and to supplies of all kinds

GENERAL MILES TRIP.

1t is a peculiar state of affairs when
the lieutenant general of the American
army, the commandant of the military
forces of the republic, cannot make a
tour of inspection of the field of opera
tons in the Philippines, for the first
time in four years of American occu-
patton of those islands, without hue
and cry on the part of politicians,
army subordinates and political ed
itors and correspondents.
Why is it that the commanding gen
eral of the American army cannot visit
his own forces on a tour of inspection
without the report going broadcast
from Washington army and political
circles that the generals visit should
be stopped for fear of friction an I
trouble?
Subordinate officials express the
fear that Gen. Miles trip will cause
trouble in army circles" say the Wash
ington dispatches; and again, ''the fear
is freely expressed in department quar-
tiers that the tour of Gen. Miles will
lead to a renewal of bitterness be-
tween him and Secretary of War Root
If Gen. Miles, whose ability and eff
f1ciency have never been questioned
cannot make a tour of Inspection and
study army conditions in the Philip
pines without trouble in army cir
cles," what is the matter with army
conditions in the Philippines? Are
there conditions over there that require
further grist of court-martials, ar
rests and Investigations?
Is there something over there that
needs protection? Are there conditions
that cannot withstand the inspection OF
a fearless and capable commanding
general? If that is the case. by all
means it is time that Gen. Miles ac.
quainted himself with the facts of the
situation.
1t may be said that in our Philippine
operations there has been too much
Smith and too little Miles all alons

ton know the facts, and let us baye

LATTIMER LEADS FOR SENATOR.
South Carolina Holds Primaries-Re-
turns Are Slow.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Aug. 26.-Demo-
cratic primaries for the nomination of
governor and a state ticket, congress
sional representatives and state legis-
lators were held throughout this state
today. Ballots were also cast to deter
mine a successor to United States
Senator McLaurin. 1t IS estimated
that 10000 votes were recorded, but
on account of late returns only 10000
votes had been reported up to mid
night.
From returns that have been receiv-
ed it is understood that ID. @. Hayward,
of Colleton, is far ahead in the race
for the gubernatorial nomination, with
ex-Congressman Tolber second and
Lieut.. Gov. James H. Tillman third.
Partial returns from forty-one coun-
ties show that~in the contest for the
United States senatorship to succeed
Senator McLaurin, Congressman Lat
timer leads and therefore will be in
the second primary. His probable
competitors will be either D. G. Hen
derson, of Aiken, or ex-Congressman
]. J. Hemphill.

RESOLVE AGAINST THE TRUSTS.
California Republicans Also lndorst
President Roosevelt.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. 26.[Tht
Republican state convention WaodaI
adopted a platform depIoring the death
of President William Mckinley. The
administration of President Roosevelt
is Endorsed and he is especially thank
ed for his support Of measures pc
culiarly beneficial to the interests OF
the Pacific coast, such as the reclama-
ton of arid lands, the exclusion of
Chinese and the isthmian legislation.
The convention indorses the firm but
enlightened policy pursued in the
Philippines, which has secured peace
in the islands," and urges that 'con-
tention over our policy in the Philip
pines should now cease and the bene-
f1cent plans of the civil government be
given the united and cordial support of
all the people"
The convention recommends that
liberal pension provisions be made for
the soldiers and widows Of the late
Civil war and of the war with Spain.
I'VE condemn all conspiracies and
combines to restrict business, to create
monopolies, to limit production, or to
control prices, and favor such legisla-
ton as will effectually restrain and
prevent all such abuses, protect and
promote competition and secure the
rights of the producers, labOrers and
all who are engaged in industry and
commerce, and we approve and COM
mend the efforts of President Roose-
welt to enforce the laws against il
legal combinations in restraint to
trade, and pledge him our hearty sup
port in all his efforts to protect the
people from all oppressive combina-
tons of capital
The platform recommends the con-
struction of government ships in gov
eminent navy yards and urges the
adoption of an eight-hour schedule for
labor on all government work whether
performed in public or private estab-
lishments.
The platform opposes "alI reciproc-
ity treaties inconsistent with the pro-
lection to American labor and indus
try" and any reciprocity policy not
laid down in the Republican platform
of 1900.
The platform also favors legislation
which will so regulate the process of
injunction as to prevent its exercise in
infringement of free speech or peace
full assemblage.
The platform rejoices Gin the fact
that the act providing for the cutting
of a canal between the North and
South American continents was passed
by a Republican congress and signed
by Republican president" ESP

TARIFF AGAIN THE ISSUE.

Seconding the efforts of Secretary
the administration, declares for no
change in the tariff until after 1904,
the Republican congressional COM
mittee is using as the piece
de resistance of it's document de-
partment Senator Gallinger's IA
nous defense of the high tariff, the
speech entitled, prosperity and Pro-
tective Tariff The mails are to be
flooded with this defense of the Ding
ley bill and it's high tariff predeces-
sors. in lieu of the speeches in defense
of the colonial and imperial policy
If the beet sugar insurgents have ac-
complished nothing else, they appar-
emily have accomplished this, namely,
they have scared the Eastern tariff
beneficiaries into looking after the pro-
tective fences and forced the organiza-
ton to take the stand that there must
be no breach whatever in the tariff
WALL
Thus the tariff again becomes the
issue of0the political campaign.
The slogan has gone forth-"We
tariff beneficiaries must stand or fall
together, and there must be no favor
itism and no exceptions"
Congressman Babcock has been call
ed off from his assault on the tariff
ramparts of the steel trust The beet
sugar insurgents are being placated
with eulogistic platitudes and given
substantial support for denomination.
Even Mr.. Tawney's argument, that
three-fourths of the Democrats on the
floor of congress stood for Cuban rec
iprocity, is being employed to prove
that opposition to that measure, de-
spite the presidents position, is Re-
publican and regular
1t is now clear that after the pri-
maries are over in Minnesota and the
candidates for congress have been
placed in nomination, we shall hear
no more low tariff talk from Repub-
lican leaders. We shall have no more
letters and speeches from Republican
candidates in the nine congressional
districts of this state declaring for free
lumber There will be no more Re
publican denunciation of Republican
congressman and senators for oppos-
ing 25 per cent reduction of the duty
on Cuban sugar. There will be no
more Republican declarations for i'm
mediate tariff reduction and revision
There will no demand from Repub-
lican leaders for even the removal Of
the tariff from trust made and trust
controlled goods.
This kind of Democratic talk will
be permitted up to Sept. Is for the
uses of the campaign for nominations
and must then cease. Otherwise, the
support of the national committee will
not be forthcoming. After, that date all
such talk will be left to the Demo-
Gratis, and the blessings of an undis-
turbed era of universal high tariff will
be the gospel of the Republican cam
paign until election day.
The tariff issue will be drawn strict
and hard from that point, and above
the flood of campaign tracts on Pros
perity and the Protective Tariff we
shall hear the cry that the Democrats
are endeavoring to destroy prosperity
by a free trade conspiracy in the in
terests of the "pauper labor of
Europe And then we shall have an
ocean of tears over the threatened fate
of our poor infant industries" Graded
down among the mosquitoes of New
Jersey.
