MATTKO. KCRANTON, JUN13 26, 1S93. The Impropilely of Onoral Alpr contlnultiB In the president's cublnot while ncilly canvailtic for tho of fice of United Slates senator Is In disputable and. wo may add, lntolar able. TI. anomalous tfltunttnn should bo promptly ended by resignation or removal. The General in Command. The Importance assigned In all official ll5cutslons of American military mut ters to the opinions of Adjutant Gen eral Coibln nnd thf frequency with which he stands forth .19 In fact the 'IrrctlnB genius ! the war depart innt make It plain that Instead cf having In Nelson A. Mil"' a eomrnand tiiR general whom the powers that be will tint pprnilt to oxfrclse the func tions nf command, the army should be placed dlioctly and openly In Corbln charge. Then It wiuld ho possible for every man, woman and child In the United States and Its dependencies to know at any given moment of time precisely where to put the ciedlt for successful or the blame for utnucess ful direction fiom hcadqunrters. An at my, HUo a great lndustty, needs at Jti head In working control a praetlcal and experienced man schooled and proficient In all the de tails ot the work before him. Two commando! s, working at right angles, will undo an ni my, no matter how able they are, how patilotic or how unselfish. It has beer, evident since the present administration came Into contact with war problem? that be tween the Luinniamllng general and the adjutant general such friction ex ists as to Introduce Into serious prob lems un unnoj Ing and a dangerous ele ment of discord. This discord has disjointed the whole cuirent of mili tary operations and relations since war with Spain was entered upon and It Is now largely responsible for the anomalous spectacle of the "major geneial commanding" In a time of war stripped of every impoitant prerogative and relegated to the un tnllltaty position of an ornament. How far this side-tracking and sub ordination of General Miles is Just or wise need not now be considered. Opinions lespectlng the telatlve merits of Miles and Coibln differ widely along lines of Individual bias. It is sufllcient for present put poses to call attention to the unmllltary spectacle ptesented in the placing of a nominal subordinate in actual command over a nominal commanding general and to suggest that It is proper and necessary that this anomaly should be ended. The president of the United States as commander-in-chief should have power to name as the general in command the man whom he considers best fitted for thnt place; and while legally ho may lack this power today, if he considers C'orhln Mipeilor to Miles and Miles un fit to command, Miles should be told so f lankly and asked as a loyal sol dier to make way for the welfare of the service. Fiom time to time some newspapeis deem it of Impoitance to reiterate that Admiral Dewey is an expansionist. Of com so he is. Would ho be foolish enough to want to see his own wotk undone? General Wood's Choice. "I will not leave the military pervlco of the United States so long- as my ser vices nre wanted, not for $30,000 a year or twice that amount. Money Is not the only thing In this world." In those words General Leonatd Wood announces his determination to remain at his post of duty in Santiago at a pecuniary sacrifice to himself such as few men would have the moral cour age t(. undergo. Nor Is Wood's decision Influenced by any promise or expectation of promo tion. He says he has not received the slightest Intimation that be is to suc ceed General Brooke as governor gen ei.il of Cuba. "Except to ask him to assign me to netlve seivice during tho late unpleasantness I have never," says General Wood, "asked the pres'l iJi nt for n favor In my life and I could imt ask for one now." The asking in this Instance is being done by the Amcilcan people, who believe that Wood Is thf man they need to have in charge of the Island. Wood's choice Is the right and manly and noble one, yet had he chosen oth erwise there would have been disap pointment but not blame. It will oc cur to most persons to hope that In putting duty to country before self In terest Wood In tho long run will be protected ngalnst loss. Such n hope is natural and creditable but probably vain. Our facilities for conferring re wards upon public servants of extra ordinary worth are, it Is to bo feared, Inadequate to the fulfilment of this generous desire. So far as political honuts go, they are more likely to be won by come artful or amiable" medio etlty than by a man of Wood's fine ftamp. As for promotion In the nrmy, that is decided xery largely by ago alone. Nor Is publlo opinion iuifflc .ently stable to warrant the belief that Its upproval will constitute in all re opects a fitting recompense. It is favorable to Wood today but at any moment in the future it Is liable to be converted by trivial incidents from pralto to censure, or if not that, it 13 liable to give to Wood the most cruel rreatment of nll-lndlfference. In any nne appral.ial.the work which Wood has done In Cuba should rank as the highest form of achievement possi ble to a servant of tho people. Not only has he dono wisely and well the 3uty owed by him to the government ivhlch employs him but ho has con ferred upon many thousands of aliens tempoiarlly under his care piactlcal benefits of inestimable value, the wholesome influence of which should extend Indefinitely throughout the fu line. As the first of our military ex r.utlvcs ohnraaii with the rcconstruc- tlon of an obsolete civilization, he hoa set a standard for those who shall como after hint In similar commissions so hlqh nml clenn that Incompetence or taint must hereafter shew forth In vivid contrast and therefore be easily marked for euro. That which Dewey did in starting rightly our work In war Wood has done In propcily Initiating th far moro dtfllcult and trying work placed before us by the return of peace; yet any tonguey blathersklto playing ukllfully on the popular fancy of the hour is llablo to win greater npplause unil tutn this to more profit able account, speaking from the money standpoint. IJut, "money Is not the only thing In the world"; conscience and self-respect ate ulso factors of happiness and not the least of Leonard Wood's service Is his publlo reminder of this, a so often forgotten, ttuth. The Independencla ot Manila, the or gan of the rebellious Filipinos, urges Agulnnldo's men to prolong their fight ing until nftrr the next presidential campaign In the United States, which, It iiit.VH, Is "sure to result In a decision to withdraw the American troops from the Philippines." Don't bet on it. Nebraska Pepper. We have received a sample copy of the Conservative, a weekly paper pub lished ut Nebraska City, Neb., by Hon. J. Sterling Morton, who was sccrotaty of agriculture in the Inst Cleveland cabinet. The Conservative was ptob nbly named in Jest, as tome ot the fol lowing extracts will Indicate: Mere gab will not cheapen anything Bcept tlio Imitation statesmen who i!VoUo It and words and wind will never correct commercial ubuses. The Couseratlo challenges tho nl lutit gentlemen who light trusts with thtlr tongues to join together their cash unit light them with competition In till tho markets of the United StaUs. The refrigerated lmpertlncnco with which self-cci.stituted leaders ot the con solidated appetite for otllco known as "the tuslon p.uty" declare tliclr Inten tions of making now issues or with drawing old issues trom the presidential campaign of 1000 Is lather refreshing. Theso automobiles in politics nre ready to travel any road surveyed or marked out for them, ptovided it leads to an of fice and a salary. A railroad company Is capital incor porated. A trades union is muscle in corporated. Capital works for profits. Labor worka for wages. Drj anarchists condemn the former combination and commend tho latter. Cah capital must not combine to maintain profits. Hut musclo capital Is Justified in consolidat ing ns a trust to put up wages. Cash capital whenver it attempts self-pies"r-votlon by incorporation Is damned by IiryanarehlstB as plutocracy. Muscular capital Is praised by tho same herd cf statesmen whenever It pools to put up wages, reduce the hours In n day or pre vent non-union laborers from accepting a scalo of wages which It has rejected. How consistent are the Uryanarehlsts' To combine cash capltnl to maintain or ad vance profits is wicked oppression. To organize the musclo capital of labor to demand and secuio more wages Is Chris, tlan beneficence! Tho profits of capital are only the leavings of wages When the latter leave, nothing the mills shut down. There are sixteen pages of pepper like this. When Mr. Morton grows tired of lambasting his fellow-citizen, Mr. Hryan, he turns his epigrams on Presi dent McKlnley nnd the so-called Im perialists. "When a government," says he, "Imperils the people of a country In a muscles, aggressive war, and not for self-preservation, that government becomes n despotic usurpation." He thinks the United States Is now In such a war nnd that Its administrators me despotic usurpers. Wo cannot agree with the late secretary of agriculture, yet wo are bound to say that what ho writes makes interesting reading. Thomas A. Edison promises within n few weeks to have ready for iho market a type of automobile which will bo light, giaceful, easily managed, cheap and capable of going 150 miles without recharging. It Is now up to Nikola Tesla. m The Due d" Arcos. Spain's new min ister nt Washington, Is teported to bo greatly pleased at the coidallty of his reception. Ills experience simply proves that tho American people nro able to distinguish between a gentle man and a do Lome. The German-Americans of different localities who are passing resolutions protesting ngalnst an alliance with England are shooting at a target which does not exist. All tho same, Uncle Sam intends to remember his friends. Secretary Alger piefaces the an nouncement of his senatorial candi dacy with a loud whoop against the truts. He is evidently bent on captur ing the galleiles. Out in Kansas they have already settled it that the ticket In 1901 is to be ftoosevelt and Funston. We fear that would be rubbing It In on the anti imperlallsts. In Italy hall storms are averted by heavy artillery firing. There ought to be very little danger to small fruit in the vicinity of the KotakertKolilsaat campaign. Tho Grand Aimy Is all tight as It Is, Let tho soldiers of each war havo their own organization. They can all meet in common as Amcilcan citizens. At JCtiO per speech Mr. Hryan Is will ing to tight the octopuses until 'they squeal for meicy.

Chances of a War in the Transuaal Editor of Tho Tribune Hlr: Neither President Kruger nor tho Urtllsh gocrnmeut Is In the least in clined to go to wur for all that the news papets say to tho control y. The Lilt laudcin havo grievances, but theso are Incomparably Insignificant to tho cal amities whlrh n war would bring upon South Africa. For all thu practical pur poses of their uiral lives, the Uoers may well regret the development of gold mill ing on tho Haand. It has brought the Boer government an Immense revenue and the country Industrial development! but since the Jamleson reld on the Trans vaal this money has been In u groat measure hypothecated In tho purchaso of arm3 nnd ammunition in sticngthcnliiB fortifications already olstlng, or In building new ones nnd the Uoers aro not an Industrial people. Thcv re a phleg matic, agricultural race, not over clean ly In their habits but deeply religious in their puritanical way, brusque, boorish and Inhospitable. The fotce of circum stances mado them warilors: but they hav little or no knowledgo of modem strategy. They fight well becnusy they are stubborn in eerythlng which they undertake; they re good marksmen, be rauso the configuration of their countty, the chase, national Jealousy, and thtlr ruthless extermination of tho natives that at one tlmo or another threatened their existence, mado them so. Hut thoy aro no match for England and they nie cognizant of it. They know, moi cover, that a defeat would invoUo tho nnnex ntlon of their country, and a second ex odus fiom the territory over which they once ruled Is now impossible. Thcro Is no unclaimed country north, south, east or west of them. Tho Uoers will not light, If they nro not driven to bay: nnd It Is Impossible to suppose that Great .Hrltnln would enter upon a quixotic war to redress tho real or imaginary griev ances of tho Uitlunders. o What nro their grievances" In tho (list place, the Ultlnnders complain, and ns far ns it is honestly conceived, Justly, thnt they pay enoimous sums in taxa tion, nnd that they have acquired neither national nor munlcpal representation. Hut Is this really a grievance that has any foundation? It Is moro dllllcult for n liritish subject to become a citizen of the Hoer republic than It Is for a for eigner to become a tltlzcn of the I'nltej States. It takis fourteen jears resi dence to completo n novitiate, and then his paper's ate granted under restrictions nnd regulations which are- degrading and Ignomlnous. These restrictions havo been Imposed to hinder foreigners from taking a real part in tho general gov ernment of the country, if they desire to do so. It is antagonistic to the con trolling Interest of civilization whero a pleblan minority domineers over an en ergetic nnd progrcsslvo majority. Tho grievance dees not arise from the denial of citizenship, but from tho reactlona.'y tendency of an uncouth nnd supercilious Indigenous population. Here Is a coun try teeming with munlferous and mineral wealth, and hero Is Its government rul ing on bucolic principles a hundred .cais at least behind tho times. But ev ery independent country has a right to formulate, the laws by which it is gov erned. Tho British suzerainty of tho Hoer republic somewhat delimits this in ternational law conception of sovereign Independence. But Great Britain only claims that President Kruger nnd his government shall not mako treaties with foreign powers without Its consent. Tho treaty upon which England's claim of suzerainty is based was ratified at a time when thero was no Uitlander ques tion In existence, and has now no relev ancy whatever to the question at pres ent Issue. o Tho Industrial development of tho re public Is undoubtedly duo to tho money and enterprise of British nnd American capitalists nnd ndventurcis Hut it Is well to remember ulo that the Boers Individually have absolutely gained noth ing by tho exploitation of tho gold mluej In tho Wntesrannd, and seemingly are In a fair way to lose their independence Into tho bargain. They aro not miners, nor have they any commercial predilec tions. But they aio avaricious and en lous. President Kruger Is said to bo tin Immensely ilch man, his wealth hav ing been acquired somewhat after tho real or fabled treasures of LI Hung f'hang Tho fact Is the Ultlanders do not want to becomo citizens of tho Hoer republic under any circumstances. They would not tnko an unconditional gift of It ns matters stand. They despise tho Bocis. and tho Boers despise them. As- slmllatlon between the two races Is as Impossible as between tho negroes nnd whites or Georgia. It is so in Capo Colony whero tho Africander (tho do seednant of the Dutch colonists), nnd the Englishmen aro ethnologlcally, polit ically, socially and religiously as dis sociated as Zulus and Kaffirs. All this agitation about taxation and represen tation Is mere pretenre. What tho Ult landers nre aiming at Is a war between the Boer republic and Great Britain in which they assume that victory on tho sldo of England would lead to tho an nexation of tho republic. I will not do cant upon tho ethics or morality of such a scheme, but pass on. o Now, you will nsk, havo tho Ultlanders no grievances to bo redressed, no hard ships to endure, nothing which foreign ers can complain of in tho treatment of the government under which they livo temporal lly or wish to lio perma nently men who havo Immense stakes In tho country and who wish to protect them? Undoubtedly they havo. I have said the Hoots aio suspicious of all Brit ishers From their contact with the English no doubt they hac good icason to be so. But they also imagine that they aro a chosen people, living In tho Promised Lund. They believe that tho hand of tho Lord directed their forefath ers Into this territory, and that tho Influx of strangers Is a scourge. Somo of these Hoer farmers would allow, nnd often did, a wandering Uitlander to die of drought on the veldt rather than give him a drink of cold water. ThPlr women aro pretty enough when glilish, but they grow extremely ugly long before they reach middle ago even, und the women in the Transvaal aro a controlling power. I mean It in no metaphorical sense, when I say that In many a hard fought field the women cast tho bullets which their husbands and Fons nnd brothers fired, nnd that nt their sides. Now, If thero Is 0110 creaturo on tho fneo of the earth whom a Beer woman detests, it Is an Englishwoman. Sho will not reciprocate favors with her at eny price or asso ciate with her on any terms. There is no uso in mo detailing whero this leads to. o Then thrro Is tho question of educa tion. In tho government schools, tho language taught and spoken, written and oral. Is Dutch. English Is not peimlttcd to have a place in the curriculum. Tho Ultlanders pay a heavy school tax and still their chlblirn must l taught pii-M-.telj or go without any education nt nil. Again thero Is the dynamite monop. oly. The company which controls It Is established at The Hague, and fixes tho prlco of dynamite 0:1 its own terms. Mlutnr for cold I not like mining for coal. The amount of e plosives necessary In theso deep Ktiata Is enoimous. Thrro nro other minor grlcvarces. all stern te nllttes to thosu who have to submit to them, which are provocative of bad blood between Boer and Uitlander. There, ex cept that they afford a senso of petty persecution on the one side, nnd of unrelenting resentment on the other, nro. uueoiutciy or no consequence 10 1110 wel fare of the Transvaal. ' Tho Jamleson raid fulfilled tho object In so fur as It made these matters bet ter understood In England, and gained sympathy thcro for thu UltlnnderH. Pres ident Kruger Is practically nn autocrat. Tho Band, or parliament, simply regis ters his decrees, good or bad. Ho Is a very old man and ns the world has learned, a very stubborn one. He has not tta illchtest conception ot religious equality. For Instance, a Catholio Is debarred from holding the humblest of fice, nnd this disqualification applies for somo Inscrutablo reason, which I cannot uxplnln, to Episcopal Methodists ns well. Sooner or later tho Transvaal will fall Into the hands of the English. Possibly "Com Paul' Is conscious of this himself. But his policy Is to hold out as lung as ho lives. With the best will in tho world ho cannot grant all that the Ultlandors ask. If ho had brcn dlplomatlo enough lu the pnst 10 grant a small portion of it, it would not have come to threat of war, a war which England would this tlmo fight from start to finish with all th re sources in her power. Tho British flcot could not take nn active part In tho war, and her nrmy is so small relatively to the amount of territory which It con trols that nt the outset the Boers could place as many men in the field ns Eng land without calculating upon tho act ivo sympathy of the Boers of the Orange Free Stato who might or might not io main neutral. But Gteat Britain baa three hundred thousand volunteer at her back, not to snenk of the natlvo troops of India, and President Kruger has as a reserve nono. This Is the actual situa tion. I do not bollovo that there will bo war, although Boer and Englishman aro prepared to recognize it as a not remote possibility. 0 Tho St, James Gazette of London hns published what purports to bo General jouuert's plan of campaign, it says that old warrior hns reckoned upon a forced march fiom Pretoria to Capo Town, a distance f somo thousand miles, blowing up on his way tho De Beers nnd Klmberley diamond mines, If ho en countered no opofltlon In his movements such an extraordinary military exploit might bo possible, but taking a. common senso view of It, tho manoeuver would bo Impratlcablo with the slightest resist ance. Joubert Is not nn Attlln, and wnat ho could hopo to gain by blowing up the Do Beers and Klmberley diamond mines except tho execration of mankind Is not apparent. The country through which ho would march has a salubrious nnd magnificent climate, on of tho finest in tho world. It is practically nn open veldt or prairie. Truth to tell, tho Bojrs aro poor fighters In the open. Glvo thsm fnvorablo shelter for sharp shooting nnd they nro magnificent marksmen. But they must havo that or they aro no where. If you remember, this was tho strategy which they adopted when deal ing with tho Jamleson raiders: it was under tho same circumstances that they carried Maguba Hill. Thero is not the slightest reason to suppose that If war Is declared they will act on'the offensive with civilized troops. Tho British havo a magnificent record In their South African wars. The Twenty-second regi ment was massacred to a man at Isan duln, tho Forty-tlfth was annihilated n't Horke's drift. In both Instances tho retaliation was quick and terrible. I have said, and I may repeat, that thcro Is no likelihood of war. Tho Boers, llko tho Spaniards, are acting up to their views of constitutional prerogative, but after all Is said and dono tho Interests of civilization aro pnramtunt, and will henceforth guide the destiny of tho world In tho Transvnal as well ns elsewhere. -P. i:. Greer. Scranton, June Si, DIDN'T MISS MUCH. From tho Philadelphia Inquirer. On ono of the trolley lines leading to a well-known amusement tiark they havo a system whereby 1110 cars are Btoppea at certain points to allow uniformed In spectors to count tho passengers, pre sumably as a check on the conductors. Yesterday among tho passengers on the car on which tho Saunterer happened to be riding was a well-dressed young fel low with a penchant for cracking Jokes nt other people's expense. When the car stopped tor tho count-up ho had a lot of fun thrusting gibes In tho inspector, tho conductor nnd tho trolley company peo pel In general. FInnlly, Just as tho car was about to resumo its Journey, ho called out. "Say, Mister Inspector, you missed me." Tho Inspector turned and looked the young fellow over very carefully. "Humph!" ho retorted, "I guess the company can stand it. I didn't miss much." Then everybody laighed, tho young fellow got red in tho face, the motorman turned on tho current and the car sped onward.
