"WASHINGTON LETTER.
DANGER IN SENDING TROOPS
FROM MANILA TO CHINA.
A Strong Army Necessary in the FPhillp-
pines to Keep Down the Revolt. —FPop-
ularity of Stevenson.
WasHiNGTON, July 9.—Imperial-
ism has received a blow from an unex-
pected quarter. When the adminis-
tration began to order troops sent from
the Philippines to China, Gen. Mac-
Arthur promptly filed a protest, say-
ing that if the troops were taken away
from the Philippines, the Filipino re-
volt would at once be renewed. Bec-
retary Root telegraphed for Gen. Otis
to come to Washington at once. He
came and declared that MacArthur
was right, and after a two days’ con-
ference, Secretary Root announced
that no more troops would be sent
from the Philippines to China. The
plain meaning of this is that it is nec-
essary to keep the big army we now
have in the Philippines permanently
there in order to maintain our author-
ity over the Filipinos. That is a little
more than the most rabid imperialist
bargained for, and is certainly more
than the people of this country will
stand for. What possible benefit can
we derive from the Philippines that
will compensate us for the expense in
money and American lives that will be
necessary to keep an army of 50,000
soldiersover there. It seems the world
is about to witness the revival of the
era of that mercenary invading army,
which was familiar to Europe a few
centuries ago. Theother great civilized
governments, including our own, have
hired an army of Japan, to go to Chi-
na and fight the Chinese, and after the
Chinese are licked into humbleness,
they are to be made to pay back the
money it cost to lick them, with usuri-
ous interest. It is not considered hon-
orable for an individual to hire profes
sional thugs to obtain vicarious revenge
upon his personal enemies. What
then makes snch a thing honorable on
the part of a nation.
Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson is the only
man ever nominated for Viee Presi-
dent who had previously demonstrat-
ed his fitness for the office by serving
one term therein, and it can be truth-
fully said that no vice president was
ever more popular than he was, True,
Mr. Stevenson didn’t have much in-
fluence with the President under whom
he served, but nobody else bad either.
Mr. Cleveland was not a President to
recognize influence, and he seemed to
make a specialty of getting at outs
with leaders of the Democratic party.
But during those four years, Mr. Ste-
venson had aod desrved the confidence |
of the Democrats in Congress, and lost |
no opportunity to push party interests
that he could with propriety have tak-
en advantage of. Adlai Stevenson isa
whole-souled good fellow, a good Dem-
ocrat, and in every respect a worthy
running mate to Col. Bryan, and Bry-
an and Stevenson isa ticket to win
with.
If the Civil Service Commission had
sand enough it could make a whole lot
of trouble for the administration on ac-
count of numerous and glaring viola-
tions of the Civil Service law in the in-
terests of Republican political workers,
A casein point is that of H. K. Chen-
owith, formeriy of Cleveland, Ohio.
While he was internal revenue collect-
or in Arizona, he opened sealed envel-
opes containing questions for a Civil
Service Examination, in advance of
the examination in order that his wife,
his brother-in-law and his cousin, were
to take the examination, might post
themselves and pass, which they sub-
seqently did. The case was so clear,
taat Chenowith was removed from the
position of internal revenue collector,
and a prosecution instituted against
him by the Department of Justice, Al-
though that prosecution is supposed to
be still pending,—pigeon-holed in re
ality, —Chenowith was put back on
the government pay rolls as a special
agent of the Treasury Department, and
he is still there, and the Civil Bervice
Commission is afraid to do more than
mildly protest and ask what is to be
done about the prosecution of Cheno-
with for violating the law.
If getting the other fellows half scar.
ed to death, be good politics, then the
Kansas City Convention must be cred-
ited with much good polities, for the
Republicans are a badly frightened lot.
They figured on a big Democratic fuss
at Kansas City, but found that instead
of a row, the regular Democrats, those
who called themselves gold Democrats
in 1806, the silver Republicans aud the
Populists are ail enthusiastically sup-
rtiog an and Stevenson, and the
Kanes City platform. These ele-
ments working harmoniously togeth-

killed a few days ago while unloading |

from the wound, climbed from the wa-
