General Bella Order.

General Bell for more aggressive cam

That u means the herding OF the people in
camps and starving them TO death thew do
not doubt. And so they make the point
that the joke s now on us. After holding
UP General Weyler to the execration of
mankind for his atrocities In Cuba. we are
embarking ourselves upon a similar line of
conduct. Should we not apologize TO the
Spanish general. and assure him now of
our distin guished consideration? They
think so. and are ready with the form of
apology.
Unfortunately for these newspapers, Cen
eral Bell Is soldier whose reputation re-
flutes their assumptions. He has earned
his title In honorable warfare. and there Is
nothing In his history or orders warranting
belief that he will invoke starvation of
women and children as an aid to success In
the carrying on of his military campaign.
But his record and his character will not
protect him II be II now departing from
the right path. 1t will be possible to ex-

An Important Experiment.

William Travers sJerome, whose cam
paiSn as candidate for the New York dis
trict attorneyship was one Of the most
striking features Of the fight against Tam
many Hall last fall has proved himself a
man Of his word. While he was working
for the success Of the fusion ticket he re-
peatedly told the voters that IL elected he
proposed to reside among the people Of
the East Side. who represent the worst ef-
fects of Tammanyism in the metropolis to-
day. He said he wanted to get acquainted
with the conditions of life there so as to
be able the better to Judge as to the need
and the extent Of the reforms to be Sc
cured through the enforcement Of the laws.
Yesterday he announced that he had leased
a house on Rutgers street. in the midst of
the East Side. and would not only live
there for four years. but would conduct a
branch of his office there.
This experiment In practical municipal
reform will be watched with keen interest
by socioiogists. Jerome is man who
does thoroughly whatever he undertakes.
1t is reported Of him that when he wanted
TO buy bicycle he studied the manufac-
ture Of the machine from the beginning of
the process, until he knew every detail
He had an automobile built for him under
MS iInmeClate personal supervision, In

minute items Of the construction. When

branch OF knowledge until he was often as
well posted as the so-caIled experts sum-
I -moned to testify.

to seek to apply his knowledge in a prac-

Richard Croker says he has abandoned

doesn't believe it. His health is poor, but
he nay become vigorous again. His spirits
are low, but they may rise again. He has
sailed for England and some months of life
over there as a sportsman may completely
rejuvenate the man. He is retiring to a
snug country place equipped with every
comfortable appointment, where he may
command privacy, or fill his house with
congenial company, at his pleasure. A daily
inspection of his stables and kennels, and
frequent spins over good country roads be-
hind a pair of choice hackneys, may make
Richard himself again. 1t is just as we'll

But, IL it Is fair question, what was
the attitude Of these newspapers toward
Weylerism at the time II was urged as a
good reason for American Intervention IN
the affairs Of Cuba2 We're they shocked by
it? Did they join in any demand that, in
the interests of humanity 1t should cease?
Did they take any pains to prove or dis
prove the allegations that burdened the
wires for months? Or were they passive
Oh the subject? Did they take the ground
that 1t was none OF their funeral, and that
1t didn't matter what happened so it didn't
happen to them? Are they for the first
time aroused for the fate of the helpless In
times Of war;? And would they be so much
aroused now except that they fancy they
see an opportunity to contribute something
to the policy of scuttle which they are
urging in the matter of the Philippines?
General Bell Will disappeint these news
