Miles stay in Cuba was only tenn
po1ary. Notwithstanding the fact that
Gen. Shafter commanded the expedi-
ton, Gen. Miles did participate in the
negotiations for the surrender of the
Spaniards, and knowing this, the
officials here fear that he may en-
deavor to interfere with the policy of
the United States in dealing with the
Moros Of Mindanao.'
Gen. Miles knows his business and
the American people have confidence
in his good Judgment. They care but
little about the coterie of army officials
at the national capital. If he deems
it his duty to interfere with the pol
icy pursued in regard to the AIoham-
madans of NIindanao what his Repub-
hcan critics may say will not deter
him. Roosevelt and Root had better
let up on Miles. The head of the
army cannot be badgered by them
with impunity. They would like to
get rid of him but they are afraid to
act We wish Gen. Miles a safe Jour
ney to and from the Philippines and
hope he will give an exhaustive report
of what is going on in the far away
archipelago which is huge elephant
on our hands.

corning those two unfortunate Repub.
licans for whom he voted. Does he
even now, with their sad fate before
him, see the evil result of splitting his
Democratic ticket in their behalf?
Does he not see that if those two
patriots-who trusted the government
were not in the penitentiary, they
might now be out in the Philippines
helping with their talents to realize
our benevolent intentions in the Ameri-
canization of the Tagalogs and other
benighted Filipinos? Does he not feel
some twitchings of conjunction for
having by his sporadic vote helped
those two strenuous patriots on their
way to the penitentiary?
Just think what they may have done
in the Philippines where the laws are
less strict than in Missouri-how be-
nevolently they could have assimilated
those friar lands as they assimilated
the money of the st. Louis taxpayers,
and at the same time given the Fill
pinos some initial lessons in the mys-
teries Of American politics, and helped
on the Americanization business. But
now, alas, they pine in forced seclu-
sion, in part owing to those two spo-
radio votes of Democrat.
What would have been the result if
Father Phelan had voted the whole
Republican ticket cannot, of course,
be known now by the penitentiary au-
thorities, but enough has happened to
warn him not to split his ticket again.
Considering the happy consequences Of
casting those two ballots in the re-
tirement of two Republican officials,
might it not be we'll, in the interests of
Democracy, to try to induce Father
Phelan to vote the straight Republi-
can ticket next time?"

crazy and many Americans believed it.

FATHERS LAMBERT AND PHELAN.

Rev. DR.. Lambert, the erudite editor

has no superior as a lOgician on the

should be ascribetl to him for defend

treatment. Father Lambert cleverly
says:
We are at Il loss to know what
unfortunate sentence of ours has led
Father Phel;n to think that we ever
for a single moment questioned the
thorough integrity of his motives. Ii
such a sentence there be we promptly
and vigorously repudiate it in tn,
whole and in all it's parts, and consign
it to the dead mass of false and mex
cusable things. We have known him
for over forty years, and in the light
Of that knowledge we would be as

conviction of his manly personality

preston of ours has done much mis-
chief, we deeply regret it and assure
him that we will undo it if he will
kindly indicate the way in which it
can be done.
But while we are willing to give our
affidavit as to the integrity of his

if asked to give the same assurance of
the soundness of his judgment on the
political issues that have occupied

| Your Uncle Loren paid no attention
| to the interrOgatories. One of them
was: IF your opposition to Cuban re-
ciprocity is based upon your opposi-
ton to the sugar trust, why did you
not vote in favor of the bill after it
was amended so as to reduce the tariff
on refined sugar? Do you not know
that the only interest the sugar trust
had in this legislation was in preserv-
ing the differential on refined sugar."
Mr.. Hay added that the Congressional
Record shows that Mr. Fletcher
seemed to have voted just what was
most desired by the sugar trust when
ever he had an opportunity ID do so.
And Mr. Hay is right. for we have
examined THE Congressional Record
for the veritication of his statement.
nhe Irish Standard does not want to

cares not which of the three g. o. D.
candidates is selected for slaughter at
the polls in November, but Fetcher's
record cannot be defended by either
himself or his organs, and his oppo-
nents are justified in exposing his
hypocrisy before the voters of the dis
trict.
AS a Republican, Fletcher is not in
sympathy with Roosevelt on the Gu
ban question and HE should have the
courage of his convictions and avow
it boldly. He has not stood with the
majority Of his party in Congress on
important measures and he refrainad
from voting on one occasion. In the
interest of trans-continental railroads
he was opposed to the construction of
any canal until the close of the session
and then he explained his vote. He
favored the sale of Indian reservation
timber the way that the lumbermen
wanted and was brought to task by
Congressman Fitzgerald, of New York,
who said: IF the timber of the Chip
pewas is to be sold for the sole benefit
Of the lumbermen of Minnesota, then
the amendment (of Eddy, seconded by
Fletcher) should prevail. If it is to
be sold for the best interests of the
entire United States and for the In
dams, the amendment should he voted
down." On division demanded by
MIR. Fletcher there We're % ayes and
Al noes. 10 kill tile amendment,
Fletcher made the point of no quorum,
and Mr.. Sherman moved an adjourn
ment Of the House. See Congressional
Record of June 1s, 1902, page 1916.
Fletcher got his fellow insurgents
in Congress to explain in this city why
he and they voted against Cuban re-
ciprocity, but they did not explain to
the satisfaction of a large number of
the members of their own party. BY
tlieir action the price of Cuban sugar
has fallen to nine-t1nths of cent
pound for the benefit of tlle sugar
trust and to the injury of the Cuban
planters, and the American collsllil-
ea's Of the sugar have received no ben
eft from the reduction. Millions
have gone into the pockets Of the
sugar trust at the expense Of the Gu
ban planters and THE American pco-
pie. In view OF that fact it is the
acme of effrOntery for L"ren Fletcher
to insinuate that his opponents in tina
Congressional race are 'monkeyed
with by the sugar magnates. Surely,
the sugar trust has no reason to OPP
pose his own denomination, for he has
always voted in it's interest whether he
meant it O" not.
