WILL (>E\. OTIS HE RECALLED?
If Admiral Dewey has any influence with
•he administration it is probable that Gen.
Otis will be recalled. In an interview pub
lished in our dispatcher yesterday he was
quoted as saying that. Gen. Otis attempts:
to do too mu* h, that he wants to have hold
of aii fh irons, to oe general, governor,
judge and everything else. The admiral
might as well hav* said that, in his op.n
/on. ;• i Ocis i- not equal to the position
he is undertaking to till.
One of the things Admiral Dewey said In
i is interview was that the war should have
♦<n over by this time, that he could no
understand ho* the Fi.iHnos have stood
oui so long. The inference to be drawn
from this opinion is that the last campaign
w is not conducted with intelligence and
skill, that the lives of the soldiers who
were killed and who 'died from disease
were practically wasted and that the mon
ey spent was thrown away.
The problem of forcing the Filipino* to
respect the authority of the United States
c mno: I**. a very serious one. At least
Admiral Dewey does not think it is. If
he did he would not express surprise that
the Filipinos are still holding out.
The statement that Gen. Otis made a day
or two ago. namely, that it was a good
thing probably that the Filipinos were not
reduced to subjection during the first < am
paign, because they would not have found
out what government under native rulers
reality was, and would have been dissatis
fied, no matter how good a government the
United States gave them, was a very weak
on#*. It was merely an effort to hide hU
failure to restore peace to the islands. It
is not his business to sjieculate as to
whether or not it would be best to conquer
peace at once, or let the Filipinos have a
taste of independence before conquering
them on the theory that becoming d:a
glisted with independence they would re
main satisfied with American rule when
once they had been compelled to accept it.
It is his business to bring the war to an
end as quickly as possible.
There is no doubt that Gen. Otis has done
tlie very best he could, but there are rea
sons for thinking that he lacks the quali
fications for his position. He has accom
plished nothing practically, and if he is
retained in command the chances are that
he will accomplish nothing in the cam
paign that is just about to be begun.
The suggestion has been made that the
President doesn’t want to send a general
to the Philippines who, by bringing me
war to an end qtiickly, might become a
strong candidate for the presidency. We
don’t believe there is anything in the sug
gestion. The reason the President hesi
tates to recall Gen. Otis is that he lacks
decision of character. He cannot make
up his mind to do a thing that ought to
be done until he is driven to do it by pub
lic sentiment.
There is one thing that is quite certain,
however, and that is that if the Philippine
war drags along much longer it will
become extremely unpopular, and the
President will see his prospect of another
term in the White House disappear.

It did not surprise the people of the city
ol New York to learn through the Mazet
committee that the judges of that city—
at least most of them—paid big prices for
their offices. Twelve of them were be
fore the Mazet committee on Monday
last, and all of them but one admitted
that he had been assessed anywhere from
$5,000 to $15,000 for the judicial nomination
he received, a nomination being equiva
lent to an election.
The judges of the Supreme Court of
New York are paid big salaries. The sal
aries were made high on the theory that
being well paid the judges would be plac
ed beyond the temptation of accepting a
bribe, but if they can afford to pay such
large sums for the judgeships they could
very well afford to accept smaller sala
ries, if refieved of the heavy tax they are
compelled to pay the political organiza
tions by which they are nominated.
Exacting thousands of dollars from can
didates for judicial nominations is noth
ing less than robbing Ihe people. The
IK-ople have to pay the judges' salaries,
which could very wolf be reduced if a part
of them did not have to go to the politi
cians and their heelers who compose the
political organizations, and say who shall
end who shall not have the offices.
It was brought out In the Mazet cerfi
millte examination that some of the
judges had to borrow the money for which
they were assessed by the i>olitical or
ganization from which they got their nom
inations. Is it not probable that the per
sons who loaned the money had a strong
"puli" willi Ihe judges who borrowed
from them? 11 so, is it absolutely certain
mat strict justice was dispensed by those
judges who were in the clutches of the
money lenders?
Clearly there is need of legislation in
New York to protect candidates for of
fices from political organizations. In this
slate there is great complaint that the
judges are 100 poorly paid. The complaint
is a just one. but it is better that the
judges should have small salaries than,
having larger ones, they should be taxed
by political organizations for a very large
part of their inepme.
Labor Commissioner Rixey of Missouri
gives some interesting information re
specting Ihe value of poultry products of
that stale during last year. According to
his figures the poultry products exceeded
in value the combined shipments of wheat,
corn, oats and hay; exceeded the combined
value of ihe shipment of logs, lumber,
crossties, piling, cooperage and cordwood;
exceeded the total value of all shipments
of coal, nickel, iron ore, pig Iron, charcoal,
stone, sand, gravel, fireclay, lime, cement,
brick, tile, sewer pipe and stoneware.
Evidently Missouri is finding the poultry
business a profitable one. Is there not a
pointer in this statement for Georgia?
While crop diversification |s being con
sidered, Ihe hen and her progeny should
not i>e left out of the calculation.
Tip: capture of the little, gunboat Ur
daucta, oi the Philippine mosquito fleet,
does not amount to a great deal consid
ered in itself; but it may amount to much
in its moral effect upon boih the Filipinos
and the people of this country. The cap
ture wifi encourage the insurgents, and
at the same time show to our own people
that the "little brown men" arc still al
war with us.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. ISOA
\0 COLOR LINE IN Bl HINES*.
In his address to colored people in At
lanta on Monday flight Prof. Booker T.
Wasningion said that in the South there
was no color line in business. He had
talked in various parts of the South, he
said. with negro carpenters, bricklayers,
blacksmiths, farmers, butchers and store
keeper* and they ail told him that hey
found no color line in their businesses or
oceupat >ons.
The statement is correct. There is no
color line in business in the South. That
line is drawn when social, civil and po
litical right* are concerned. And it is a
very clearly defined line.
Prof. Washington says there is a pros
perous future for the negro in the South.
He may lie right. He thinks that if the
negro wi.l devote himself to acquiring a
knowledge of mechanical trades and agri
culture and to the improvement of bis in
tellectual, moral and material condition,
the prejudice against him will disappear
as he advances io a higher civilization.
Thi.- is a very hopeful view. It is a
view that is not sustained by anything in
insfory. There is no doubt that it is pos
sible for the negro to greatly improve his
condition—for the race io lift Itself to a
much higher plane than it now' occupies,
but as it advances will the race antago
nism disappear? That is the important
question.
Race prejudice has not grown less pro
nounced since the negroes were emanci
pated. And it seems to us that it will in
crease as population increases and the two
races are crowded closer together. If the
negroes were satisfied to accept an inferior
position—to be dominated by the white
people—it is probable that the two races
could get along together, but there is no
probability of their doing anything of the
kind. They want every political .right
they can get, and even now they are n
very great source of trouble to the Repub
lican party on account of their insistence
for office. They demand their rights in
public places and conveyances and they
resent every attempt to give to them less
desirable privileges than those enjoyed by
while people.
We mention these things as facts, not in
the way of criticism. If the negroes are
so aggressive now along lines which bring
them in contact with white people, Is It
probable that they will be any less so as
they become better educated and possess
ors of property? It is certain they will
not. Therefore it is difficult to see how
the future of the negro in this country
appears to be bright.
We have no doubt that he will get along
better in the South than in the North for
a long time to come, because the southern
people understand him better and are more
kindly disposed towards him. He has but
few opportunities now in the North to
earn a living, and these few are being
taken from him. The prejudice there is
greater against him than in the South.
If it were not so the migration of the ne
groes to the North would be far greater
than it is.
Prof. Washington looks on . the bright
side of the situation, and he gives some ex
cellent reasons for his faith In the future
of the negro in this country, but it seems
to us that there are some hard facts to
which he does not attach sufficient im
portance.
DEWEY IS SOT A POLITICIAN.
The Philadelphia Times, an independent
paper with Democratic leanings, expresses
the opinion that the Republicans will offer
the presidential nomination of their party
to Admiral Dewey if it appears at the
time the convention meets that there is
danger that Mr. McKinley cannot be elect
ed. It is of the opinion that there will be
no hesitation about nominating Mr. Mc-
Kinley if the outlook for his election is
satisfactory.
But would Admiral Dewey accept the
nomination of the Republican party, or
any other party, if it were offered to him?
That is a question which he alone can
answer. In an Interview with him,
which appeared in our dispatches yester
day, he was quoted as saying that he was
a sailor, not a politician. He did not seem
lo be especially elated when told that some
of the newspapers were advocating his
nomination for President.
The only significant thing he said
of a political character during the
interview was spoken when it was
related to him that his son had
said that he was a dyed-in-the-wool
Republican. In response he said: "My
son knows about as much about my poli
tics as that piece of stick." As he said
this he pointed to a piece of wood lying on
the deck. It is apparent that if he is a
Republican he isn’t anxious lo have the
fact known at present. If he were he
would at once have confirmed his son's
statement.
But it does not follow that because he
evaded making a reply that, conveyed in
formation Ihe reporter sought lip is pot a
Republican. As his reception is non-po
litical he did not want probably to be put
in the position by sensational newspapers
of proclaiming his political faith as soon
as he reached home. Besides, the issues
in the campaign next year may be such
that he is not prepared lo say at this time
whether his sympathies will he with the
Democratic or the Republican party in the
next national contest. He was very wise
in not committing himself on the question
of political parties at this time. It will
be time enough later on to tell the coun
try whether lie i- a Democrat or a Repub
lican. It is not at all improbable that Ihe
Democrats will have something to offer
him sometime during the year 1900.
"Troops from Florida and Georgia, and
other far-away states, are on their way to
take part In receiving tne,” said Admiral
Dewey. Florida and Georgia will feel like
entering a mild protest. They are no
longer “far-away” states. They are as
close to the government, and as close lo
Dewey, as Maine and Massachusetts. Gcor.
gia stood shoulder to shoulder with Ver
mont on the admiral's own ship at I lie
battle of Manila bay. But, of course, the
admiral meant that they were "far-away"
states merely in the matter of miles from
New York.
In a signed editorial in the Atlanta Jour
nal, Mr. Hoke Smith states that the as
sertion made in an article in the New
York Journal of recent issue, that he was
mixed up ill Ihe prosecution of ('apt. O.
M. Carter, although based upon lock, is
i without the least foundation.
From time to time since the announce
ment of the Dr* yf - verdict at Rennes.
Paris newspape and correspondents hav*
published th • nr.es of members of the
court who voted for acquittal. The New
York Times, jcVrr.ng to tnese several
statements res/* . .ng the ballot, each
made apparently upon good authority,
finds that Joua d** Breon, Merle, Bau
vais and Parfaii have been reported as
voting in favor f Dreyfus, while only
Profile! and Brownian have.always been
reported as voting against him. This
would make the billot stand 5 to 2, but in
opposition to th verdict as announced and
in favor of acquittal. “Is .t possible,”
asks the Tim* ‘ that there-has been a
dreadful misundcr-landing? Can it that
in the excitem r.t of the hour, and ier
haps out of excessive respect for superiors
in the army, a result not consistent with
the actual vote of the court, or possibly
iht* reverse of the vote, was announced?”
If there ha * been such error, or perver-ion
of justice, the probabilities are that Min
ister de Gallifet would have found it out,
and had he done so he would not have
pronounced the incident “closed” until the
wrong had been made right.
Gen. Shafter, it appears, has asked the
war department to furnish him with a
brougham, which is to cost about $1,10).
The army regulations do not provide for
any such contingency as a general’s be
ing too fat to ride a horse, therefore it
is not quite clear how the department can
gratify Gen. Shutter's desire for a spick
and span brougham. At the same lime, it
will Ire remembered that on a memorable
occasion he was provided with and used
a bucklioard and a pair of mules. From
a practical stand joint the only difference
between a buckboard and a brougham, be
sides cost, is merely a matter of appear
ance. It it was aft right for the command
ing general of the Santiago campaign to
take the field in a buckboard, it ought to
be all right for the commanding general
of tiie department of California to do his
necessary military routine in a brougham.
Those persons and papers that have
lately predicted that Richard Crok r’s
power has departed, because of the fact
that Sheehan carried one New Y'ork dis
trict the other day against his opposition,
are likely to awaken before a great while
to the fact that Croker in New York city
politics, like silver in national politic*,
is not to be knocked out with one blow'.

there is a plot of Americans for the pur

Cuba. II concludes: "There should be no
encouragement here of the annexation
plot. The Cubans who wish to enjoy inde
pendence and realize their Just expeeta
(ions of a Cuban republic, pure and sim
ple. should not be Iwlked. If the Cubans
should vote for annexation they would
do so under the virtual coercion of (he

Are Pursing Ahead in Chicago.
Tne number of artists in Chicago was
increased recently by the arrival of one
from a distant city. who. during his leis
ure moments, strolled about the downtown
streets seeing the* sights, says the Chi
cago Journal.
Passing a store where a number of paint
ings were displayed in the* windows, he
stepped inside to look a!*out. Standing lke
forc a landscape about lbxH inches in -ize
he assumed tne manner of an admirer of
art and awaited the* approach of tne pro
prietor.
The latter advanced smiling and rub
bing his hands He greeted the visitor
cordially and said:
“You are an admirer of paintings. I
see."
“Yes. to some extent.” was the reply.
“That is a pretty bit of scenery.” the
dealer returned, “that you are l<x>king it
there—that little clump of green trees and
the red house. It has a charming atmos
phere about it, don’t you think? With the
frame, just as it is, we are asking only
$l5 for it. Now. that over there is a com
panion piece: same size, same frame. Now.
if you would like to buy the pair,” he
continued, becoming very earnest, “we
could V; you have them for—let me see
—take th* m along for $25.”
*
fact is I don’t want to buy them; I am a
painter myself.”
“Oh, you are an artist.” smilingly re
marked the dealer. “Well, perhaps you
would like to do some painting for us?’’
“Oh. I don’t know; perhaps so. But
what do you pay for a canvas like that?”
indicating the small picture under discus
sioit
“Well.” replied the dealer, becoming con
fidential and stepping up close to his call
er. “that Is a cheap jiainting. and if you

money.”
“Well, what do you pay?” asked the
artist, impatiently.
“For that size wo are paying S cents.”

Dewey once attended a wedding break
fast at which the affable Baroness de
Struve, wife of the Russian minister at
that time, was present, says the Wash
ington Post. Dewey had met this famous
woman several times before. The facial
plainness of the Baroness was quite be
yond belief, but she was one of the most
brilliant, lovable and kindly women ever
elected to guide the social affairs of the
diplomatic corps in Washington. A lady
who overhead it tells of an amusing pas
sage which the Baroness and Dewey (who
if memory serves, was then a commander)
had at this particular wedding breakfast.
“Referring to leather.” said the Baroness
amiably, after some playful remark as to
the spick-afid-span polish of Dewey’s
sword-belt—he was in dress uniform—“the
most remarkable bit of Russian leather in
the world is my face.”
Dewey was as quick a thinker then as
he is now, but this stalled him.
“Madame,” he said, after a pause. “I am
but a tough sailor man, and this is a
heavy demand which you make upon mo. I
am not equal to the emergency.”
“Of course.” said the Baroness, tapping
him with her fan. “I should have to con
sider you hopelessly rude were you to
agree with me. But you can preserve your
neutrality—naval officers are taught to do
that, are they not?—by toiling me what
realty fine eyes 1 have. They are fine, ate
they not?”
Thus assisted. Dewey rose to the occa
sion. The Baroness’ eyes were, in trutn,
magnificent.
An 11-expected Raise.
A few years ago, says the San Francisco
Argonaut, Collis P. Huntington’s private
secretary, Mr. Miles, asked for an increase
in salary. “Do you need any more* mon
ey?” asked Mr. Huntington thoughtfully.
“No, sir, I don’t exactly need it,” replied
Mr. Miles, out still, I’d he glad to be get
ting a litt-re more.” “Ah—hum—m-m. ’
mused his employer, “can you get alonga
without the advance for the present?
“Oh. yes,” answered the secretary, •“I
guess so,” and the matter was dropped.
A couple of years later anew boy ai>-
peartd at the Miles home and the secre
tary thought the time propitious to renew
the application. “Why, my dear sir.” said
Mh. Huntington, when he heard him
through. “1 raised your salary when you
asked me before.” “I never heard any
thing about it.” said the secretary in
amaz* ment. “Probably not,” returned Mr.
Huntington; “in fact 1 used that money to
buy a piece of property for you. I’d just
le ii stand for awhile if I were you.” Mr.
Miles thanked him warmly and retired
somewhat mystified. Recently Mr. Hunt
ington called him into his private office.
“By the way, Miles,” he said, “I have
sold that real estate of yours at a pretty
good advance. Here is the check.” The
amount W'as $50,000. The property was
part of a large section purchased by thk
railway king as an investment for his
wife.
It Had Slipped Hi* Mind.
Robert Dewar, brother of Lord William
Dewar, the British scientist, who was the
first exjterimenter to liquefy air, is a re
markably absent-minded man, says the
Philadelphia Press. 1 is said that on one
occasion he left his home early one morn
ing and repaired to the house of a friend,
in which there was a tine library to which
he had access. That afternoon his rela
tives and friends searched the neighbor
hood in vain for him. At length he was
run down in this library. By his side was
a new' suit of clothes.
“It’s a nice man you are,” ironically said
the spokesman.
“What’s the matter now?” returned
Robert, irritably.
“Your bride and the preacher are wait
ing for you this two hours. Don’t you
know this is your wedding day, man?”
“I declare,” said the groom, “I’d for
gotten all about it! Wait till 1 dress and
I’ll go along | with you.”
How llobliy Achcivcd His End.
"Mamma,” said Bobby the other day,
when he came home from school, accord
ing to Harper’s Bazar, "has irony any
thing to do with iron?"
"Nothing whatever, Bobby. Irony mean?
that we mean the opposite of what we
say."
Bobby thought** moment, and continued:
"1 don’t love you Just a cent's worth,
mamma. Is that irony?"
"1 suppose so," replied his mother, with
a smile that she didn't attempt to re
press.
"Then," said Bobby, with an air of tri
umph, "wasn’t it irony when you said
the day before yesterday that you wouldn't
give me a quarter to buy a ticket for the
circus to-day?"
Whether it was or not, he went to the
circus that afternoon.
Overconfidence.
"This bill isn’t what I had a right to ex
pect," grumbled the man who had stepped
up to the esahier's window at the gas com
pany’s office, says iho Chicago Tribune.
"Two dollars, hoy.’ ' said the cashier,
glancing at the bid. "Thai doesn't seem to i
be very exorbitant. What was it the I
month before?"
"Four dollars."
"You didn't kick on that, did you'”’
"No."
"Why is this so much smaller?"
"The house was shut up for half the
month."
“Then what are you complaining about?
isn’t $2 a bom right?"
"Yes; but blame it, I made a bet of $5
the other day that the bill would be as big
as usual."-
RINGWORM
ON BABY’S FACE
Mother Ashamed to Take Him Out.
Everything Failed to Cure.
CUTICURACured in3Days.
I have had ray baby §ick with his face full of
ringworm, and tried everything and failed. I
was ashamed to take him out, for every one would
look at him. Iv. as told to get Cuticura. I got
it on Wednesday, and by Saturday his face was
all dried up. Now I can take him every where. I
cannot say enough about CCTICUHA. If people
only knew at>out how his face looked a week ago,
and see it to-day, they would never be without it.
The people in the house can tell you how his
face was, and how it is to-day.

CRAZY WITH ITCHING
Eczema on Head. Got into 'the Eye*.
Doctor & Institutes Could Not Cure.
Cured in 2 Months by CUTICURA.
I have been troubled over two years with
eczema on the top of my head. It tirst started to
itch, something fierce. My doctor said It was
eczema, and treated me for six months, with
failure, so I tried more doctors, but they did the
same, I tried a New York institute, which treated
me for six months, but could not reach any further
than the rest. 1 had it worse than from the start,
as it commenced to get in my eyes, and nearly got
rue crazy with itching. I noticed your adver
tisement in the N. Y. World, and thought I would
try Cuticura remedies. In two months* time I
did not know that I had any trouble at all , and
