"The Cuban postal scandal Illus
trates," .says the Philadelphia Ledger,
"the problems to be encountered In the
admlnitiatlnti nf colonial affairs by
ordinary politicians." If the Ledger
will keep Its eye on Piefcldunt itcKln
ley. Postmaster fjener.il Smith, Secre
tary Hoot and General Leonard Wood,
It will soon peicelvu how those pioti
lems will bo bolved by extraordinary
politician!?.
The Clark Case.
AN INTKIti:STLN't; niiestlon is
J. i Ned us to the light of the
acting governor of Montana
to appoint AVIlllum A. Clark
to till the vacancy caused by his own
leslgnatlon. The question does not
rhnlU-ng" the light of the lieutenant
governor ti peifoim the functions of
governor (Hiring the governor's ab
sence fiom the state. It simply asks
whether a vacancy was cieated ty
Clark's leslgnatlon; whether Clark
had n sudlrlently valid title to the
senators-hip In the llrst place to give
substantial effect to his resignation.
It will be noted that the committee
on pilvlleges and elections had made
n unanimous repm t to the senate that
by .-eason of the Improper use of
money among the Montana legislators
Claik's title was defective and the seat
was vacant. This report had not,
however, been accepted by the senate
at the time of Claik's resignation. If
It is not accepted the senate cannot
question the validity of Claik's ap
pointment. But -ven though this report hhoul 1
be accept d It will not necessarily fol
low tint Claik's appointive credentials
will he vitiated. If the at ting gover
nor should nave mined another man
than Cl.nk to ill! the vacancy created
by Clark's it slgn.it 'on, does anybody
suppose tlmt his ctedentl'ilR would be
challenged on the ground that Clark
had no light to u.sIgn the ofilce to
which hn had In the first place no leg il
tltle1rvi'hv should a different rule of
Interpretation be used against Clajk
than would be used against some other
man in Claik's place?
This, of course, Is wholly aside from
the initials of the case. It Is pietty
clear that Claik was elected senator
as the lesult of an Inunoper use of
money Money was Used improperly
In large sums by both Clark's friends
and his foes. The guilt was genet ul.
Clark was not worse than the others;
on the tontrarj , so far as the public
at a distance can Judge, he was in
many lespeets better than his enemies
and had a larger genuine suppoit
among the citizens of .Montana. Still,
the fact that the other fellows set
him i bad example does not Justify
the 'uanii.T In which money -was 'jsid
in bis behalf, and In the intoioht of
belt 'I- politics It could be wished that
he might be keiit out of the senate
until the bad odor of his manner of
getting there had been removed by
fumigation. Of that there is, however,
little probability.
Secretary 'Hoot favors giving to the
commanding geneinl or the uuuy the
rank and pay of lieutenant general.
Would it not also be well to give him
something to tlo?
Common Sense About the Boers.
ASID13 KItOM any question of
the merits of their contro
versy with Cheat Hiituln,
the liner envoys now In this
country for the purpose of enlist
ing American sympathy can rest
assured that they will lecelve a
respectful hearing and such good
offices as our government can exetclsp
for them with due regard to the best
Interests of the American people. It Is
worthy of note that the TTnltcd States
government and people have already
done more for the Uoers than any other
government and people In tho world.
Our government was the only govern
ment In tho world which consented nt
the Uoeis' request to ask Kncland If
mediation would be acceptable. Our
people have subscribed thousands- of
dollars to the. fund tor tho relief of
the Boer wounded and sick; and
nothing has been left undone for them
which could be done without violation
of our International obligations. This
Is the more notable ihen wo recollect
that the United States has absolutely
nothing In common with tho Uoers, Is
not 'a neighbor to them nor related to
athem by any ties of race, and that
with few exceptions those Americans
who have studied tho causes of the
South African war ut first hand have
become convinced that tho Boers from
the beginning have been In tho wrong,
Just what details of action the Boer
envoys intend to propose, to tho admin
istration at Washington uro us yet
veiled In mystoty. They may have a
clearly defined programme un( they
may not. Tlnie Will tell, But fliero Is
one thine which the American people
. JL,
will not be BUllty of and that Is the
'drawing of lUunrstlc party lines con
cprnlnB a purely sentlmontnl Issue of
foielRii poll t leu tfRiirdlnB which the
tTnltcd States has not ii slnRle Interest
ut staki. It will In due time appear
to the wobcr sense of a majority of our
people, If It has not already appeared,
that the palpable efforts of the Demo
eratle party leaders to construct par
tisan capital out of the administra
tion's fidelity to the traditional neu
trality of this Kovrrnment toward for
eign nations at war Is a piece of mis
chievous buncombe which merits em
phatic disapproval. In the field against
the Uoers Is a Hrltlah army of more
than 200,000 soldiers. Guarding the seas
Is a Ilrltlsh navy larger than that of
any two other navies combined. What
may be done for the Uoers In the In
tel est of humanity by virtue of friendly
representation to Great Hrltitln at the
conclusion of the present war Is some
thing which cannot be foretold; but
the lesult of any attempt to Interfere
with England by force could easily be
foretold and there Is not a Democrat
In the country who, If he were In Mc
Klnley's place, would be )ol enough
to advocate It or to attempt It.
Democratic members of the house
committee on Judiciary oppose a con
stitutional amendment giving congress
control over trusts. This seems to In
dicate that the trust Is not such a ter
rible Institution In the eyes of u Demo
crat after till.
A Test of Character.
-IIKHK 1IAVK been men In
ngn omce wno, u a scan-
JL tin
al had ailsen In their do-
paitment like that recently
disclosed In the postal service In Cuba,
would have squirmed and twisted In
a desperate attempt to unload the re
sponsibility on some other ofnelal'3
shouldeis. Charles Emory Smith Is
not that kind of a man.
The New York World yesterday pub
lished an Interview with Mr. Smith
on the subject of the Cuban postal
frauds which throws Incidental light
upon his character. He was willing,
he said, to assume his full share of re
sponsibility for the unfortunate devel
opments In Cuba but was not appre
hensive that the higher .officials In the
po.stolllce department in this country
would be incriminated. As for the
system organized In Cuba, It was the
same as in the United States with the
exception that It had an additional
check by leason of Its accounts pass
ing under the Inspection of the mlll
tnry authorities. In Poito ITIco and
In the Philippines the same system Is
producing excellent tesults, due to the
f.iet that In both the administrative
and the auditing branches in thoe
other de uidencies officials .-ire em
ployed who are honest. The fact
that among the Am?rlcans sent to ad
minister and audit the Cuban service
weio some who have evidently not
been honest was as gieat a surprise
to him as to anybody. In tho appoint
ment of these men the utmost possi
ble care had been taken.
Mi. Smith went on to say that noth
ing had thus far been developed to
Implicate Major Kathbone 111 the Cu
ban f lauds. Major Kathbone had been
a special pension examiner, a special
treasuiy department agent, chief of
postolllce Inspectors and fourth assist
ant postmaster generil. In all of
these positions ho had exhibited ien
ergy, executive ability and honesty.
Mr. Smith had at the time considered
that he was the best possible selec
tion for director of the Cuban posts,
lie still believes that Major Itathbone
Is an honest man, but that there has
been laxity Is apparent and in the ef
foi t to discover where It has been and
who is directly responsible for It no
man, high or low, will be shielded If
the facts point to his guilt.
"There Is no disposition," tho World
article says, "on the part of the post
office officials to shield any man guilty
of complicity In the Cuban postal
fiauds. It Is tho desire of the presi
dent and all his subordinates that the
fullest and most thorough investiga
tion be nui do and all the facts devel
oped. It Is futther desired that all
the facts be laid before the public at
the earliest moment the Interests of
justice and the service permit. There
is no disposition In any quaiter to
suppress or minimize the tiuth. As
an earnest of this disposition to In
vestigate and punish, the four most
efficient inspectois In the service are
now enroute to Havana. Their In
structions are to exercise all their skill
and Ingenuity In the development of
facts. They are clothed with the ut
most authority. At the same time a
fortv of expei t accountants have been
sent to Cuba, who will exumlne nil
the bonks and ascertain the precise
status of affairs at present. In ad
dition, the military authorities are
conducting their own Independent In
vestigation. All are working in per
fect harmony, but on their own lines,"
One of the first papers In the United
States to grow pessimistic over the
Cuban postul frauds and to hall In
them a sign that our system of gov
ernment N not fit to wield colonial
lesponslbllltles was the Philadelphia
Ledger; yet Its Washington correspon
dent says: "Tho promptness and
earnestness with which the president
and his subordinates In the postofllce
and wnr departments have gone ubout
the task of cleaning up the postal ser
vice In Cuba has cnused a change In
public opinion in Washington during
the last few days. Thero can bo no
doubt that the president Intends to
have the extent of tho malfeasance
at Havana determined and the offend
ers In custody before tho summer is
far gone. Those senators and mem
bers who have talked with him say
that there can be no mistaking' his
purpose In the matter. With this turn
in tho case there has been a change
In the views of many senators on tin
matter of an Investigation, and the
Bacon resolution calling for an In
vestigation during the summer by tho
Cuban committee will not bo pressed
to u vote. Senator Piatt, of Connecti
cut, who Is chairman of tho commit
tee, declares that ho cannot spend tho
heat of the summer In Cuba nt work
taking testimony, and his feellnrj In
this respect Is shared by Senators Tel
ler and Davis, who are also members
tif tho committee. The vigorous pros
ecution of tho Investigation by Secre
vm&. Ji&J.i2rU
)
tary Boot nnd Postmaster General
Smith Is regarded with satisfaction
nnd confidence In, congress."
It Is obvious that the centrul figure
In this Insistent demand for a thor
ough cleaning up of this whole mat
ter, and the man who naturally takes
the lead, is Charles Kmory Smith and
thp emergency affords n conspicuous
test of his character. The test Is not
completed but It Is simple Justlco to
say ihat as far as It hos pone It re
veals In hlm precisely those fine quali
ties of well developed manhood, execu
tive coolners nnd moral courage? that
lils friends knew were In him, "await
ing only the occasion to show
forth In vivid outline. We do not
know what the effect of these Cuban
frauds will be upon the movement to
nominate hlm for tho vice presidency.
Any question of perEonal promotion
will not be considered by him If it
shnll Intetfere with the duty matked
out before him. Ho Is not tho man
to bo swerved from moral obligations.
But we are still of tho opinion that ho
Is the man whom the Philadelphia con
vention should place on the ticket
with McKlnley.

Congressman Richardson's book, "Mes

THE OTHER SIDE.
In the Piohyttrlan Journal of Feb. C2 last
Hc. Dr. .Innic McUod, of thi city, replied to
Judge i;lns's lectuie on "Christian Science,"
first discussing the doctrinal points ns was pub
lished in The Tribune at the time and conclud
ing as follows:
"The most prominent and tho most dangerous
thing rfbout this delusion at the picsent time, is
nor its initio ratings about matter aril irlncl,
bui rather is it the reckless and 'is rJ conduct
of its bocalled 'healers.' 1 heir assumption of
miraculous power, and their loudly trumpeted
claim that they can heal nil manner of i1im.ih,
aio facts that sniii-ty cannot alto.-J to Irrcre.
'ihey iniiilie human life. Their prcri'lfrcin
claim that they (an, by a Mitt of lei crdcnia'n,
c ire malignant diphtheria, scarlet filer, cirw,
Miull-pnx, typhoid fcicr, asthma, and cieiy
other ill to which lili is heir, liaj les'ilted in
in. told sulfeiing and mlschii'f. All their pie
tended cures hate been parallel d by mesmerists,
aim hypnotists, nnd such 1;L' or by the 'Lady
ol I.omdes,' and the 're'ics of taints.' 5 llgrlms
who bate Wilted the iw.v thrines' have tes
tified that they were the subjects of miraculous
cuies.
'"the conduct of these 'Christian Science' heal
ers is not a whit moie rational than tho conduct
of those who belieie tlieic is liealinj lirtuc in
the bones of St. Ann. Indeed, the superstition
of tho latter is harmhss and innocent compared
with the conduct of 'Cliilstian Science' healers
l'oi these to-called 'hcalcis' ignoic medicine and
phjsicl.ms, and oil remedies for the relief of pain
and fmtlcnng. Mather than call a doctor, they
will let the patient die. Such conduct is in
human and ciiinlnal. It is contrary to the law
of (!od, and the Mate ought to prcient it. Such
irrationil conduct is the legitimate result of an
irrational belief.
"Hut wlillo the law of the land cannot prevent J
thee 'hellers from thinking and beliciing what
tiny please, a law should be enacted that will
prcient thuu fiom substituting, in the sick room,
their pretended miraculous power for that of a
skilled physician or a tialned nurse. Tho of
ficers of the law ought to haie authority to step
into the sick room nnd force these iiealeis' to
step out: tor the 'hcalcis' are the mot deadly
fiuit that lias jet grown on the upas tree of
'Christian Science.' "
GARROTE, HALTER AND CHAIR,
1'iom the HochcFter Democrat and Chronicle.
The fuss made oier the execution of five pris
oners in I'orto ltlio by means of the gariote,
that is to say in accordance with the legal
method of capital punishment in Porto lllco, is
a curious illustiatlon of the force of habit.
Tho Idea-pf dcliheiately lueaklng a man's neck
by means of the garrote shocked the Ameiican
mind merely because the American mind was
not habituated to it us it is to the idea of click
ing a man to death by banging him up by means
of a Blip-noose round his neck or of shocking him
to death by means of an electric current. If
either of these methods of execution had been
substituted for the gurrotc In tho caso of the
1'cito Hlco criminals there would haie been
no fuss, no resolution of inquiry In congress, ro
shoek for any one but the criminals. Indeed
the substitution of the rope or tho chair for the
ganoto would hate been generally regarded as
one of the benefits of higher civilization accru
ing to the I'm to Hicans because of the substitu
tion of American lule for Spanish rule.
The fact is that of the thiec methods of execu
tion under consideration the I'orto Itican, or
Spanish, is the most humane, tho most decent,
the best In every way. Death inflicted by the
garrote is alw-ajs certain, instantaneous, untor
turing, undistlgiiring. That Is more than tan
be said for death inflicted by tho halter or tho
electric chair. If the barbanty of capital pun
ishment is to bo continued In this country, tho
country would do well to substitute tho Span
ish mode of capital punishment for the ciuder,
less certain, less humane and more barbaious nnd
rcioltlng American modes.

Into tho liquid lilfjit,
I saw a filing star,
It shot Its golden course along the iky,
Uut H.'ilihed in tho tu inkling of an eye,
Within the deips afar.

It looked on Time, and tilth a piercing cry
It faded Into Immortality, '
