The Mail from Hagerstown, Maryland • Page 2

Tlvc FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, was hard upon Senator Quay that just at the time when his ambition to possess a Governor had been gratified he should have lost his crip upon his State. admission of Ulysses S. Grant, candidate for the United States Senate in California, that he has had a trusted agent employed in expending $80,000 in his behalf ought to put a sudden period to his candidacy. A purse and family tree are a sufficiently varied assortment of credentials. In the end Wall street will sec to it tr tit it gets its money's worth.

TUB SENATE. The Hagerstown Herald went in a round about way to rebuke Senator Wellington for daring to uphold the Declaration of Independence and Constitution against the Imperialistic Administration.

The Mail commends JVIr. Wellington for his position, and the Herald's rebuke is idle folly. Let it rebuke ex-Senator Sherman too. He says: "I am decidedly opposed to the invasion of the Philippines. The idea of our country forcing its way into these islands and forcing its government upon the 7,000,000 to 0,000,000 population of those islands is monstrous.

It is subversive of the basic principle of our government, that the just powers of government are derived from the consent of the governed, and it is in violation the traditions of our country. would vote not to ratify the treaty." fiSITWhcncver opportunity presents itself Senator Wellington proceeds to attach his disapproval to the war with Wash. Post. General Eagan's defense of ''immunity" aggravates his offense. He practically admits conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, but pleads tnat it was done under the protecting arm of the President.

Mason suggests that the advocates of expansion arc not crazy, but partially demented. Pie is kind. Hagcrstown Mail, the most aggressive democratic paper in Mary- lond, gives high approval to the position taken by Senator Wellington on the subject of expansion. Cumberland Independent. recent Federal appointments in Baltimore by Naval Officer Scott and Assistant Treasurer 31 Dane have been made, as detailed in The News, in conformity with the letter and spirit of the civil service law.

This ought to be a mere matter of course, and we believe it is so in the great majority of offices. Yet it is well known that there are some Federal officials who do what they can or what they dare, to minimize the efficacy of the rules of appointment and promotion, and it is gratifying to note that the gentlemen above named do not propose to be reckoned in that Balto. is quite refreshing that there are exceptions. Mrs. Harrison Angle.

In It) And W. A. Porterfield Appoints Assignees IN WASHINGTON, THE MAIS OFFICE JOHNSON'S WAY. Among other statements in the speech of Congressman Johnson, who is republican, that displeased the Imperialists was his plea for liberty. He said that while the thinking there was a popular demand for it, was hurrying war vessels and an army in the Orient to subjugate an alien station, he proposed to make a plea for liberty and against the perpetration of such an outrage as was contemplated.

The Fhilipinos might not be as highly civilized as Americans; they might not how to practise fraud and chicanery at their elections as we do; "they might not be able to send a member to the Senate through dishonored and slime-covered they might not be able to subvert the will of the people as is frequently done by us, but they were capable of self government. Continuing, Mr. Johnson said "If William McKinlcy ever changes his opinion as to the Philippines, it will be because he thinks he sees a change in public opinion, which he always obeys whether right or wrong." Speaking of the pleas of the republican side for an increase of the regular army so that the volunteers could be sent home, Mr. Johnson said "The responsibility rests with the gentlemen in the White House. He arrogates to himself the authority to speak for 70,000,000 people.

A WASK. Sometimes one hand regulates the Hagerstown jumping jack editorial column, sometime another.

The hnnd tnat held the scissors heretofore was missing last night so that is why an sentiment got iu. Only, a few days ago it snapped ai Wellington for defending the Constitution and repudiating the Philippine -anti did then and there assert that hi was bucking against the time honored of his party. This moruing it has this view: We do not need the Philippines. They must never become citizens of the United States. In this the Herald is an ally of Wellington, whom it despises, and a traitur to its party which stands for expansion any cost.

It is further a clef am er aud of the President, who declines to issue an expressed policy, when it declares of the anti-expansion sent aents expressed "we have not yet anywhere a clearer statement of what is or ought to be the expressed policy of the administration." Greene iu a report to the War Department embodying the results of an inspection of the Cuban forces makes the remarkable suggestion, that Col, Delgado, an ex-brigand, together with the men under him, under proper dicipline be efficient as part of a rural constabulary." Evidently the General believes iu the old saw that one should "set a thief to catch a thief." In fairness it should be stated that the policy suggested in the report would coincide with that adopted by President Diaz, in Mxico, who employed the most accomplished brigands to hunt the other out of their urchins of Vincland N.

Civilization and ideas of social liberty have made some progress since the curfew was instituted by William the Norman Conquer or of England, as a salutary means of governing his Saxon subjects. But "William's regulation soon proved as in its restraint of men as docs that of Vinoland in keeping small boys indoors after nightfall.

WUKDS AlfU JNS.KCTS." Mr. William H. Armstrong, who lias become conspicuous'as an ardent and active opponent of the fashion in millinery that requires the destruction of birds to furnish ornaments for woman's head wear, says the Frederick News, found a good field for his endeavors iu the meeting of the Maryland State Game aud Fish Protective Association in Baltimore on Tuesday night and secured the passage by that organization of a resolution in behalf of birds. "That women, weed seeds and noxious insects seem to have confederated to ruin agriculture, to destroy the economy of nature and aggravate the curse that 'shall earn his bread by the sweat of his It is a good cause in which the energetic and eloquent Mr. Armstrong is working, says the News, and while it seems rather severe on the women to charge that they have confederated with weeds and noxious insects "to ruin agriculture, destroy the economy of nature and aggravate the curse that the farmer.

Birds are the farmers' 'fHe'nds, i said with much truth, and for utilitarian, if not for sentimental, reasons they ought to be-protected; The tremendous ravages the fashion that demands their bodies or their plumage for decorating hats and bonnets has so reduced their number that it is no exaggeration for Mr. Armstrong to say that some of tbe have nearly exterminated and that a crisis now exists with the bird creation. BALTIMORE HKJCS IT. "Senator Wellington did infinite credit to himself for standing up valorously in behalf of the principle of free government so cogently enunciated by Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, and for tnat still broader principle of the freedom of conscience of which Martin Luther was the chief pioneer champion," says the Baltimore Herald, agreeing with The Mail as to Wellington's flamboyant courage, and disagreeing, as does The Mail, with other facts about this hero.

At times at this point alone some $5,000 piled up. The rule is to check up with the main office every day, leaving funds enough to wind up deals.

In the days of that splendid despotism which history calls the Roman Empire he Roman constitution made the legis- ative and provided for an "Irapcrator," who, like our President, was nominally a mere with advisory duties as to egislation.
