An Insufficient Disclaimer.
We are told by the apologetic Har
rlshurg Commonwealth that Dr. Swal
low Is "not responsible" for the salac
ious scandal mongerlng perpetrated In
his hehalf by emissaries of the New
York Voice: that he "had no more to
do with its formulation, publication
or circulation than either Mr Jenks or
Mr, Stone himself." We must sn that
this disclaimer has been a long time In
coming, and that It comes in a some
what roundabout way. It is generally
understood that the Commonwealth
newspaper speaks for Dr, Swallow;
that It Is In an especial sense his politi
cal mouthpiece, and therefore presum
ably ho has at last yielded to the pres
sure of adverse comment and author
ized this denial of direct personal par
ticipation In the conspiracy of defama
tion at work under his colors.
A thoroughly honest, upright and
high-minded map, desiiing to exoner
ate himself before the community from
immediate responsibility for political
ghoullshncss, would have stated his
case In his ovvr person, openly and dis
tinctly, and not have remitted the task
to a subordinate writing in the third
person. But taking the belated dis
claimer in good faith. Is It sufficient?
We opine not. Let us recall the prem
ises. An official Piohlbltlon orgi.n, ed
ited by a doctor of divinity colleague
of the Rev. Dr. Swallow, collects ir. the
sinks and dive? a lot of stenchful an
tiquated scandal btuitcd about in dero
gation of the purity of a public candi
date's prlvatr life; seasons and verves
this filthy stuff in the boldest fashion
of criminal journalism, and sends train
loads of It into the state, to carry its
Infection Into eveiy home. It may be
tiue that Dr. Swallow did not in person
scrape tho sewers to get together this
pollution, write the manuscript, set the
type or peddle the papers containing
thp vicious stuff, but it Is true and
capnble of pi oof that the machinery of
Dr. Swallow's party has been used
without rebuke by him to spread this
contamination (vheiever possible and
the object of spreading it, implied and
declared, has been the reverend gentle
man's election to be governor.
Suih being established, we submit
that moie is needed than a negative
disclaimer over a subordinates shoul
der. In his capacity as representative
in this campaign of the alms and meth
ods of the Prohibition party Dr. Swal
low is bound by the actions of Ills
agents unless these are expifssly re
pudiated. We have before us more than
five yards of editorials clipped fiom Dr.
Swallow's home paper which defend the
propriety of using puisonal scandal in
political discussion and assail John
Wanamaker because he declined to em
ploy that disgusting weapon Dr. Swal
low must In his own name and voice !
disavow these things and direct that
the peddling of scandal In his interest
be stopped or he mul accept moral
and political responsibility with all that
that implies. Tho public will admit no
"wicked partner" oxcuses.
There seems to be n question now
whether it is Jtooi-eveU or Piatt who
Is weailng the collar.
Why Hard Work Is Required.
A political nota In tho esteemed
Philadelphia Press remarl:s:"The Im
portance of giving careful attention to
tho election of congressmen In the sev
eral rloso districts of tho state Is be
ginning to receive attention. Hard
work will bo required Jn some Instan
ces." Tho work that will bo required In
Ptnnsylvnnla to elect congressmen who
will uphold tho administration of which
Charles Emory Smith is a brilliant
member will not be made, more easy
by h aniiroa ot Mr Smith's nu'anati.
er In fomenting pnrty rebellion, advo
cating fusion of Independents, Prohi
bitionists and Democrat!) against the
Republican legislative nominees and
using all Its opportunities to back-stab
the Republican nominee for governor.
Wo nie surprised that tho pnstitmatcr
Rciierul does not perceive this.
The recent story that Gomes resigned
In u huff tuins out to have been a fake,
pure and simple. On the contrary,
Gomez bus Issued nn order putting ev
ery Cuban under his command subject
to American orders, either for disband
ment or use alongside Amctlcan troop3
for garrison duty us our government
shall elect.
Stone's Answer to Swallow.
Ity far the most senslblo piece of lit
cwituro which this campaign has fur
nished Is that contributed by Colonel
Stone In reply to Dr. iSwullow'n bump
tious challenge to debate a series of
suspicious. Head again this essential
portion of It.

that Is th" pioper coutse lor jou to pur

Dr, Swallow knows the meaning of
the legal phrase "compounding a fel
ony." Docs he realize that every min
ute iic postpones placing in the pioper
ofllcul hands his knowledge of evi
dence of ciims committed against the
government he Is guilty of that' The
cumii'nnd "Thou shalt not steal" which
Dr. Swallow lakes as the b-islsi of his
wholesale accusative campaign is not
ptor sacicd than thnt other Injunction
of tho Decatogue. "Thou shalt not bear
fal"- witness." Tho couit of his home
county has nlieady established that
Dr. ow allow Is guilty of false accusa
tion. Let him tenvmber the principle,
"falsus In uno. falsus In omnibus;"
false in one point, false In all.
Tho attempt to bowl the colonel of
the Hough ltldcis out of the New York
gub-rnatoilal nomination on a tech
nicality exhibits singular shortsighted
ness on the part of those who make It.
If It should succeed it would make
Roosevelt more popular than ever, and
therefore more dangerous to those In
his way: while Its failure v ould recoil
crushlngly on Its authors. The chances
are It is going to fail.
Locating the Chief Fault.
The Knjjtnecrlng News of Sept. 22
reviews with ability tne administration
of tho war nnd reaches some conclu
sions which ate i.itlonal and timely.
The News directs especial attention
to the prevalence of typhoid fever In
the camps, compared with which It
thinks all the other delinquencies and
shortcomings complained of in the ad
ministration of army affairs are triv
ial, and It Dhows that this prevalence
has not been duo to faulty selection
of camp sites but to caielessnoss after
the camps had been established, "The
fact," it save, "that typhoid has rased
at Chlckamauga, at Camp Alger, at the
Presidio, at Camp Clack, at Jackson
villa and at various other camps proves
not only that the camp sites were not
the original cause of the trouble, but
that It war not due to the mistakes of
any one particular commander, or the
Inefficiency of the officers In any one
camp or locality. The wide prevalence
of the disease proves that something
was wrong with the system as a whole.
To prevent the spread of
typhoid all that is necessary Is to dis
infect or absolutely kill the germs in
the discharges of every typhoid fever
patient, and this is the most important
duty of the nurse in charge of a ty
phoid lever case, while tho responsi
bility Is the attending physician's to
see that It Is done. With this single
precaution tlie disease is not contag
ious at all. Without it, a single patient
mty, under favorable conditions, be
come a centre of Infection for hun
dreds. There Is a good reason to be
Ilevs that In their ie.il to show a good
health record and to keep men from
'playing sick' to escape discipline or
drill, the medical staff has tried to
keep men out of the hospital who
ought to have been In it. Tlie men,
too, in nine onsen out of ten, were nev
er willing to go to the hospital while
they had any stiength left": those In
the early stages of typhoid thus be
coming walking distilbutors of that
disease.
In fhort, tlie gieat drawback
throughout has ben tlie lack of train
ed officers both in the line and on
the staff: officers not only skilled in
tactics but also prnPclent nnd experl
enctd In the sanitary care of their
men. We are paying In human lives
the penalty for not having in time of
pence madu adequate 'end comprehen
sive pteparatlon for war.
As a matter at convenience) for res
idents of towns or cities having free
mail delivery the postolflco department
hau tebted a number of devices in
tended to receive mall matter for col
lection by tho carriers and han recom
mended four of these, the best of
which, known us tho Postal Improve
ment company's combination box, re
ceives the carriers' deliveries and also
enables householders to post letters,
magazines, newspapers, small pack
ages and such other matter as Is or
dinarily carried by the letter carriers,
without going out of tho house. Tho
postotiice department has directed car
riers to deposit in and roiUrt from
these boxes whenever householders, at
their own expenes, purchase nnd placo
them In suitable position. Every fam
ily can, If It chooses, have Its own post
oillee at Its own door. The public will
undoubtedly avull Itself of this privi
lege. In a letter to iho Independent or
CltlncnB Union inrty who recently
nominated him for governor. Colonel
Ilo.isevcit declines thu honor on the
giound thnt ns n Republican believing
In Republican pilnclplcs nnd policies
and ns n possible Republican nominee
for governor lie could not In good
faith permit ills name to heud an antl
Republlcan ticket. The colonel is nn
Independent In the sense that he does
his own thinking and has tho coutago
of ills convictions, but ho Is no Mug
wump. Nor is he scheming to embar
rass the administration of which he
was recently a part.
Contrasted.
Unlike lion John Wsnnmnker In this
stnto, Governor Frank S Dlack.of New
Yoik, does not propose to begin a
campaign of vengeance If he shall be
defeated In his present ambition for a
renomlnatlon.
"After the Republican statu conven
tion Is over," he says, "we shall nil
taks otf our coats and go to work for
tlie candidate who is nominated for
governor, no metier who ho is. We
are Republicans, i)Vid we stand by our
party under all clicumstances. I cer
tulnly shall do nil In my power to elect
Colonel Roosevelt If lie should happen
to be th" Republican candidate for
governor, by speaking and working for
him, and I have no doubt he would
do the same wot It for myself if 1 should
lecclvp the nomination."
Contrast that with Wnnamakcr'3
course and you have a pietty good Il
lustration of the difference between a
man and a sorehead.
Good advice Is being given by Gen
eral Garoln to his countrymen at San
tiago. The wni Is over, he tells them,
nnd Cubans tveiywhere should forget
Its animosities and go to vvoik. There
Is something peculiarly dignified and
noble in the bearing of this giand old
man, whose entire manhood has been
passed in battling for his country's
liberation, and whose ability nnd tine
character aie rapidly foicing recogni
tion In spite of misunderstandings nnd
detraction. The proposition Is under
consideration at Chicago to invito him
to be that city's guest duilng the forth
coming peace Jubilee. It would furnish
a dramatic counter-balancing of vicis
situdes if he who left America three
yeats ago a fugitive should return to
be lionized as a hero.

If It was Quartet master Lee who at
Camp Thomas refused to honor Gener
al Wiley's requisitions for boilers In
vvhirh to boll camp drinking water
after the vvnr department had ordered
all di Inking water to be boiled then
Quartermaster Lee is a good subject
for punishment, and General Luding
ton, his superior, should see that this
is promptly and emphatically admin
IsteiPil. The Wllkcs-Raire Record
says It was this Lee who refused per
mission to Colonel Dougheity and Dr.
Weaver of the Ninth regiment to uso
Company D's mess tent as an addi
tional hospital. The presumption,
therefoie, is ttiong that Lee Is a misfit.
Republicanism: Its
Glory and Destiny
Fiom a Speech b lion John W Griggs,
Attorney Gti eral of thu United States.
T HAS been the happy tortune ot tlie
Republican parti to bo tound natui
oily and spontaneously in harniunv
U with the demands of national patriot
ism m evsry great crJHx. When the
Internal dlssnnslons over slavci, atter
smoldering tor halt a century, burst into
name of war, there was ready a Uepub
llcan part nnd a Republican president to
uphold tho Integrity of the Union and
save it from destruction. When, In 1WJ,
tho forces of repudiation and llnanoial
dishonor, combining with the elements of
socialism, disorder and ilot seized In the
hysterical trenzy the badges of Democ
racy and menaced the foundations of our
national safety nnd honor, again thero
was leady tho Republican party with a
platform and candidates representing tho
true and honest principles of national llto
and safety, and again, In its success, was
assured the preservation of tho vital spirit
of the government. When, tccently, tho
demands of humanity compelled us to In
tel v cue and end the barbarities In Cuba,
there was again u Republican president,
who, though loving and striving tor
pence, was to be the director of the na
tion's arms In a contest which, for rap
ldlt and faultlessness of execution, has
never been equaled since wars besan
upon the earth.
o
The party and the administration which
hab had the responsibility In this war,
which has given such new glory to our
arms and lustre to the American name,
has not been a party nor an administra
tion of partisanship, but of patriotism.
Our president, serene, patient sagacious,
sympathetic, great, has been tho nation's
chlet Indeed. What can political opposi
tion ist upon tn this campaign? Theie
Is nothing but academic discussion lett
for Democratic platfoims. They may de
nounce piotecllve tariffs, but no one will

ridiculous It hat upon It the double con

absolute inconsistency with every great
oeeurrciice In our history since lbW. When
wc are expanding and enlarging our place
among tho aieat commetdn) nations it
pi opuses to destroy our honor and credit
by tho adoption of a financial basis at
war with tho system of the business
world It denounces our srtvm of gov

it was proposed to traverse, If at all, with

posed a final batrler to the establishment

any distinction between Federal and Con

and "Johnnies" all keeping step together
to the music of the Union. Stout old
John Adams, standing In the royal prrn
ence, tho first nccredlted minister ot the
now republic to tho mother country,
speaking llko the noble gentleman and
wise statesman that he wns, said to King
George: "I shall be the happiest of men
If I can ba Instrumental in restoring
an entire esteem, confidence, and artcc
tlon, or, in better words, the old good
humor between people who have tho same
language, a similar religion, and kindred
blood." It has been the happy result ot
this war to havo brought back, torevei
we trust, that entlro esteem, conlldenco
and affection, the old good humor, be
tween the people ot tho North and tfM
South, as in tho days when Adams nnd
Hamilton and Jay labored and conferred
in fraternal harmony with 1'atrlck Henry
and Thcrras Jefferson and the l'lnekiieyt
about our country's interests.
PRAISE AND BLAME.
From the Philadelphia 1'ress
The war with Spain tor rapidity and
faultlessness of execution has never been
equaled since wars began upon the earth.
The president could not personally Know
every detail any more than could Lin
coln In tho war of tho lebcillon. l)ut
that he did his duty to tho utmost every
man knows. Tho faultless operations of
the Navy department vvre under bis di
rection, the same as tho much-crltlclsed
operations of tho War department, rue
success ot tho one department and tho
defects In tho other aio proof that it
must be a dctctt In sjstcm rather than
In administration. That the Investigation
will be able to determine,
o
There evidently were cases of Incompet
ency In the War department which only
the war Itself could bilng out. Tlie veiy
men who aro the most criticised, like
the head of tho medical bureau, uio old,
expci lent ed regular army ofllcers, whoso
appointments came to them In tho line
ot their seivice, nnd not because or any
act of President McKlnIe To hold the
edmln'.stintlon resporsible under sucij cir
cumstances Is ridiculous.
o
Tho great fact Is undeniable that tho
Republican congress, despite Democratic
opposition, mmlo adequate provision for
conducting the war. A Republican ad
ministration waged tho war lo an caily
and decisive conclusion, bringing abo it
results which havo been tho marvel ot
tho world and without parallel In its his.
tory. That is as far as tho Ilcpubllcnl
party or Its president aio lcsponslble,
Military defects duo to the Incompetency
of some regular atmy olhclalx, long In
tho service, or to n defective army sys
tem of long standing, cunnot bo charged
to tho administration. They should be
hunted out. and wheio puuUhment Is de
served It should be Inflicted. Hut unques.
tlonably what Is most needed Is n reform
in the system long ago established by
congress.
