of
Editorial Glimpses and Clippings.
The inaugural address of Gov. Can
dler was a master-piece of common
sense.
Paris, Oct. 31.—The American com
missioners presented a written express
ion of the purpose of the United States
to take the entire group ot Philippine
Islands, and to assume such proportion
ot the Philippine debt as has been spent
tor the benefit of the islands or their
inhabitants, in public works, im
provements and permanent batter-
ments.
^ It was also set forth that the United
States would not assume any part of
the Philippine debt which has been in
curred by Spain for the furtherance ot
military or naval operations to' quell
insurrections of the natives.
The session was adjourned until Fri
day,in order to give the Spaniard
time to prepare a reply.
After the conference was dissolved,
the Spanish commissioners expressed
the opinion that the Americans’ de-
mand would create in Spain, as they
had upon her commissioners, an ex
ceedingly grave impression. Were the
Spanish commissioner pushed to
final determination to-night they would
reject the American demands, but the
changing tone of the Spanish press re
cently urges the consummation of »
treaty of peace, however rigorous, the
argument being that although the Span
iards bow to American demands, the
commissioners do not acknowledge
the justica or admit the legality ot 1
them.
To-night the Spanish commissioners
feel that the United States, to all in
tents and purposes, have not offered
any financial inducement to Spain to
cede by treaty any part of the Philip
pines.

There is a great deal of truth in the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
I'raa oar Rogwlwr Carrcapoadmi.
Washington, Nov. 3, 1898.
A leak in the Paris end of the ad
ministration has made it apparent why
the republicans were so anxious that
the treaty of Peace should not be con
cluded before the Congressional elec
tion. We are to get the Philippine is
lands, But we are to buy them—a new
wrinkle, after capturing territory by
force of arms, to pay money tor it
—either by paying a large sum in
cash or by assuming about $10,000,000
of Spanish bonds, or by both. It is not
fine schools. We believe, however,.that j sur p r j s i n g that the republican managers
a good many farmers are now realizing
that they made a mistake in not stay
ing on their farms and building up the
country schools. Usually, when a far
mer moves to town and leaves his com
fortable home and fins farm in the
hands of tenants, he finds that in the
course of a few years, the buildings on
the place go to rack, his fences are all
gone and his lands washed and run
down by careless colored tenants.
There is money in farming in the
south, but the farms must be conduct
ed intelligently by their owners and
not by careless tenants who take no
interest in keeping up the places.—

The Cuban factions are clamoring
for civil office, claiming that the gov

hands of Cubans. The outlook is not
encouraging.
January 1st, 1899, is the date fixed
upon which the Spanish evacuation
<>f Cuba must be completed. Gen.
Fitzliugh Lee will probably go to
Cuba before that date with his corps
of troops.

should dread such inrormation as that
going to the country on the eve of an
important election, nor that they should
now be trying to discount it by saying
that nothing had yet been positively
determined upon, except that we would
demand all of the Philippine islands.
That demand was today officially made
by our Peace Commissioners, of the,
Spanish Peace Commissioners, but it
was known in Paris several days ago,
and known to the Spanish Commis
sioners that this government had agreed
to a proposition to buy the Philippines.
A suspicious thing about this agree
ment is that a special issue of Spanish
bonds, of $40,000,000, alleged to have
been issued for public improvements in
the Philippines, which were floating
urouifti in the financial markets of
Europe, from the time they were is
sued, all suddenly disappeared about
the time the Peace Commission met,
and today not one of those bonds can
be bought. Where did they go? They
were bought up by somebody, accord
ing to the testimony of European bond
brokers. Did that somebody have ad
vance inside information that this par
ticular issue of bonds was worth more
than other Spanisli bonds, because ol
this agreement of the U. S. government
to buy the Philippines? If so,
who gave that information, and who is
going to profit thereby? These are
questions, that will not down, and
which may, if Mr. McKinley allows
this agreement to bo carried out, bring
about a scandal that will make
Algerism seem like a very small mat
ter.
Secretary Gage has been uriving
away administration secrets, by pub
licly admitting that while he hoped for
the election of a republican majority of
the next House, he would not go so far
as to say that he looked tor republican
success. The only difference between
Secretary Gage and the other members
of the administration is that he hna
publicly said what they all think and
say privately.
Instead of being a help to Quay,Mr.
McKinley’s visit to Philadelphia was a
positive injury to Quay and Quayism
Mr. McKinley did not speak the good
word for Quay that it was hoped by
the terror-stricken Quayites that he
would speak. In fact, he spoke not a
single world that could be construed
into sympathy for Quay or a wish for
his success, although some of Quay's
friends took especial pains to make
openings for Mr. McKinley to say
something of that sort. The result is
that the Quayites are saying that ii
would have been better tor Mr. Me
Kinley to have remained out of the
state, because his silence has been con
strued by the anti-Quay republicans to
mean lack of administration sympathy
for Quay, and they are making some
dire threats about what they will do in
connection with National Conven
tion of 1900.
Mr. McKinley’s Commission ought
to give Capt. Wm. Astor Chanler,
who served in the Cuban Campaign and
won praise from Gen. Shatter in an of
ficial report,and who is now democratic
candidate for Congress against Lemuel
Eli Quigg, in one of the New York
city districts, a chance to testify,if they
really wish to get at some warm facts.
Capt. Chanler says that Abner Mc
Kinley made money out ot contracts
tor furnish supplies to our troops in
Cuba, and moreover, that the stuff
furnished by the Abner McKinley
concern was of interior quality, and not
up to the specifications in any partic
ular. This matter will be heard from
again as soon as Congress meets.
The country may expects the pub
lication of a preliminary report from
Mr. McKinley’s alleged investigation
commission, during the present week,
as Boss Hanna and the other republi
can managers have ordered that one
be made and given to the public before
the Congressional election. There is
little probability that a whitewash re
port, such as will be made, will in
fluence the casting of a single vote.
The people of the country are on
to that Commission and its
work.
Although Gen.. Butler and Admiral
Sampson, two ot our military Commis
sioners at Havana, have made strong
representations ot the danger of trouble
in that city from riots by the unpaid
and discontented Spanish soldiers, and
asked that one or more warships be
sent there, the Cabinet lia^ decided
that no warship cun be sent there,
because to do so would be a violation
of the protocol.
It is evident that somebody in au
thority thinks that Lieut. Hobson is
getting too much glory out of his ef
forts to save those wrecked Spanish
vessels. Hobson is now in Washington
being catechised by a Board of Naval
officers who are inclined to stop his
work, on the ground that it will cost
too much money. If Hobson is not al
lowed to proceed with his plans for
saving those vessels, the people will
know very well that money had noth
ing to do with it, but that jealousy ot
Hobson and his reputation is at
the bottom of the whole busi
ness.
