Senatorial Kickers.


Philadelphia North American.
Senator Mitchell Of Oregon Is no ordl-
nary lsvmaker. He is the prince Of diplo-
mats. Tho proof Of his
statecraft was given last Thursday.
Senator Hosr had held the attention OF
the senate for nearly two hours with an
eloquent protest against the Philippine
policy. and In the regular order Of things
4 Foraker or a Dolliver or other imperialis-
tic maker Of phrases should have been
thrown forward TO repulse his attack on
the administration. But a secret influence
had taken possession Of the senate, and as
" by common impulse the whole body of
senators gravitated oward the restaurant
In the basement, There at the head Of a
table sat Senator Mitchell OF Oregon. Be-
fore him, imbedded in white sauce ana
Eprlgged with parsley, reclined at full
length a magnificent sixty-pound Columbia
salmon. Obviously, Senator Mitchell could
not consume the whole hsh. so some three
score or more senators came to his assist
ance. For half an hour the Philippines
were forgotten and conversation turned to
where rolls the Oregon" BY unanimous
consent 1t was agreed that nothing was too
good for a state that could furnish such
royal provender.
When the senate resssembied all minds
reverted to the fate OF the Filipinos. There
were the usual angry speeches, the hot
bandying Of words, the rapid crossfre
OF partisan polcmics. Then came a
lull In the tumult Of debate, Senate
Mitchell of oregon had risen to his
feet. Gust a moments time-with the in
diligence Of the senate-juSt a little bill on
the calendar" Not an objection was MUIR
INJURED. and Portland, Ore, had won its

costing many thousands. What else could

Cleveland Leader.
President Roosevelt is showing rare
courage in dealing with arm scandals In
the Philippines, such as the water cure"
cases and other charges Of cruelty. In a
letter to the Protestant Episcopal bishop Of
Massachusetts, the president declares that
he has reserved the right of review in all
trials by court-martial, and he adds that
IL necessary civil ~oficials az we'll as army
officers will make the most thorough in
vestigation Of all charges Of improper con-
duct by Americans.
It will be impossible for President Roose-
welt to take final action in regard to the
cases Of ill-treatment OF natives which has
been charged against officers Of the United
States army without giving grave %offense,
on one side or the other. The nature Of the
points at issue is such that in any event
there will be harsh criticism Of the presi-
dents position. He will be denounced for
undue severity or else for excessive leniency
to the accused officers.
Beyond doubt the president realizes this
fully. He has heard enough to make the
situation clear In that respect, both from
those who condone admitted charges OF cru
city. on one hand. and those who believe all
accusations and fercely denounce the SOL
diers Of the nation who are said to have
been unduly harsh in crushing Fflipinos in
revolt. But he shows not the slightest dis
position to dodge any burden Of his ONCE.
He will stand responsible for whatever de-
cisive action may be taken in the case OF
General Smith and all like cases in the
Philippines.
1t is we'll for the country that this is to
hdence Of the army and the people alike,
especially as to all matters concerning the
honor of American soldiers and the Amer
lean republic.
