VOL. LXXYV. 2s OFNPORTUNITIY FOR DEMOURATS, A Wise Selection for Governor Will Enable Demoorats to Curry the State, igent concern among the people of Pennsylvania as to who shall be elect- ed governor this year than there has been for a long time. The last goveér- nor elected by the Republican party was far from being satisfactory to the people. He was a misfit, although in the latter part of his administration he made attempts to compel a better administration of State affairs. The present executive, if the common judg- ment of a great majority of the people of all parties is the State has ever had.

Asgoon as Seceretary Root returns from Cuba, snd the President has made up his strenuous mind, we are | assured that Geveral Miles will get the | grand bounes, and join Dewey and] Schley in their enforced retirement. The organs of the administration give out that Miles has been Lhe cause of infinite trouble. He declared in his testimony before Lhe Senate committee that cruelty and severity of a needless character were our policy in the Phil- ippines. The President and the secre- tary of war branded this as a wicked invention, and censured Miles severely for putting it forth. With what re sult? First comes the report of Major Gardner, who has been actiog as civil governor of the Luzon proviaoce of Ta- bayae, sustaning General Miles in the fullest extent, and showing that he was moderate in his eriticlam of the conduct of the war. The sceretary of war tried his best to suppress thls re. port, but the Senate commitlee ex. tracted it. It is claimed that Miles hinted to the Democrats of the Senate er>mmittee the facts, and on this hiot they shamed Secretary Root, into giv. ing out the report he was endeavoring to suppress to make out a case against Miles, Next comes the investigation order. ed from Washington into the tortures applied by American officers to Fili- pino prisoners to compel them to speak. The torture was not the rack’ or the “boot, to bes sure, but the “water cure’ was precisely in the game Line. It inflleted physical pain and agony up to the limits of human endurance.

The one consideration ngainst per manent peace in South Africa is the fact that the Boers are the obstinate descendants of the Dute!s who broke the dykes and Jocks of their cauals and let the sea inundale their farms and villages rather than submit to a foreign rule. They are of the blood of the same Dutell who, as a last effort of despair, prepared to abandon their country and take ship to founda new home in South Africa. Macaulay says that a people capable of such wesolves is rarely called upou to exceute them.
