It has been announced (as was not unexpected) that within a few days the War Department will begin to withdraw the "volunteer" organiza tions from the Philippines. The volunteer regiments must by law be mustered out by the first of July next, so that it seems that they are somewhat in a hurry in beginning to withdraw them now.

There are about 27,000 of them in the Philippines, and while they may begin at orce to withdraw them, they can take their time about it provided they get them out by the first of July. The Republican organs are mak ing considerable display over this withdrawal, as it is intended for po litical effect, and to create the im pression that there is no longer need for such a large force in the Philip pines, but they do not mate any note of the fact that orders have been issued to send a lot of recruits to the Philippines to take the places of some of the volunteers (most of whom will probably be on the sick list) withdrawn. it may be noted that this an nouncement is made right on the eve of the election, and so made as to 'create the impression that the men are going to be brought home as rapidly as transportation can be famished, while there isn't the slightest intention withdrawing any men save such as may be inca pacitated ior service, xney are simply playing this thing for politi cal effect, to fool the people as they have been fooling them all along in this Philippine business. MCKINLEY EXPANSION COMES HIGH. The new departure by the Mc Kinley administration, the grabbing of lands that belong to other people, is costing the American people a good deal not only in precious lives but in dollars.

What it costs in money is thus briefly summed up by the Jack sonville, Times- Union and Citizen; What is "our new policy" costing us? The question is answered in the followine figures, which show what the per capita expenses of the general Government were durine the admin istrations stated below: Hayes. 1878 81. $523 Arthur, 1883 85 4.73 Cleveland. 1886 89 4.53 Harrison, 1890 93. 5.

In 1898, the first year of ine administration 01 Jfrendent Mc Kinley, the net expenses of the Gov ernment were $443,368,583: in 1899. in 1900, $487,713,702, and are estimated at $605,000,000 for 1901. This represents an increase of about $60,000,000 a year for each of the four years of his administration; and, if the increase in four years more (should ne oe re elected) should be the same. then in 1905 our Government expenses would oe s845.uuu.ooo. arainst $355.

Seven dollars fourteen and a half cents per capita means about thirty- five dollars to the average family, thirty-five dollars that the head of this family must pay towards the support of the general government, and this, too, when the expenses of living, through the operation of the Trusts and other combines, are largely increased, for which there is no compensating increase in wages or the earnings of the people. Is there any wonder that there is such unrest in the land and such univer sal protest against the bloodsucking policies for which the McKinley ad ministration stands?

It eoes forward steadily, bravely. cheerily, to meet what difficulties there may be ahead and to conquer them for liberty and for justice." This sounds pretty well but it is virtually an apology for the McKin ley administration in its policy of grab, and simmered down simply means we are in it, that we got into it without intention or without know ing it, and as we are in and can't get out without crawfishing, we have to stay in. It is an apology but not a good one, for it is not I truthful, and doesn't state the case as it is.

If there be any credit t6 be attached to "taking Spain by the throat," it doesn't belong to the McKinley administration, but to the American people, who forced the adminisiration to throw down the gauntlet and espouse the cause of the struggling Cubans. After it was forced into the war the administra tion did the only thing it could do, showed energy and determination. Although our army and navy showed the dash and pluck characteristic of the American soldier we are not en titled to any particular credit or glory for defeating inflated, bom bastic, worm-eaten, worn out old Spain, which dreaming on her van ished prowess imagined she was still formidable. We didn't add a particle to our leputation as a world power by whipping her, although we may have excited some admiration by the celerity and vim with which we did it. The "new and heavy responsibili ties" referred to by the Leader did not come of necessity nor have to be accepted.

We sought them and took them upon ourselves, or rather the administration hearkening to and following evil counsel did it, wnen suddenly changing its pro gramme it bought those islands and bought a war with the people who inhabited them, who until that unfortunate trade, believed us their friends and were our friends. Whether the "new responsibilities and the changed relations" be bravely accepted or not there is no "exultation" over what we haye done or are doing in the Philippines, and there never was any exultation oter anything that has been done there save over the brilliant feat of Dewey when he steamed into Manila bay before dawn, took the Spanish Ad miral by surprise and disabled his snips Deiore his crews could open their eyes and find ont what was the matter. Over any or all the battles won there since, although our soldiers have fought valorously and that valor is recognized and appreci ated, there has not been one exult ant acclaim, for the fact is our people as a whole are ashamed of wiBh, as Teddy Roosevelt wished sometime ago, we were ont of it. If the McKinley administration could have seen the future as they now see it, it would never have loaded itself and the country with that job. SLANDERING BY INUENDO.

Falsehood, misrepresentation and slander have been to a large extent in this campaign the stock in trade of the Republican organs and spell binders, and their assistants who sail under other than Republican colors. The latest 'charge, which emanates from Mr. Perry Heath, Secretary of the National Republi can Committee, is that Bryan has been "in communication" with Philippine leaders. They allege that proof of this was found in the documents bo' opportunely found by General Funs ton and other hustlers, out as these documents "were found" six months ago or more it is somewhat remarkable that the discovery that Bryan had anything to do with any of them wasn't made until the past couple of weeks, and it is also remarkable that there is no mention made of what sort of communications these were. Dnt the uepublican organs are playing this fake for politics with as much energy and industry as if they had the correspondence before them, and it was really of an in criminating character.

They do it in a sneaking -way, too, and while not boldly asserting that Bryan was in correspondence with the "insurgent" leaders, charge itjby indirec tion, and accuse him by inuendo. Here is the way the Chicago Inter- Ocean stabs in the back: "Mr. Bryan's friends are trying to laush oil the chare that he is in cor respondence with the rebels In Luzon. 'What of thev atk.

MK xnat trus country a as become a world-power is one of the pet phrases of the Republican organs and stumpers. From the way they play with it one might imagine that we had become a world-power only since the administration of McKinley, and that it has made us a world-power. From the day the thirteen colonies rictorious in the war fori independence united and formed the United States of Amer ica we were recognized as a world- power. When we again in 1812 thrashed the British armies sent against us and England acknowl- edged herself whipped we were recognized as a world-power. When the Monroe Doctrine was an nounced 'and the monarchies of the world were informed that interference with the affairs of the Republics on this continent would not be tolerated, it was a declaration that we were and must be regarded as a world-power, and the respect with which European nations have treated that declaration shows that they looked upon this Republic as a world-power.

Fighters invincible on sea and on land made us a power that the world recognized before Mc- Kinley or his friend Hanna saw the light. We were a world-power that sprew stronger year after year, at- tended to our own business, and let the business of other nations alone, and while they wrangled, squabbled and stood, suspicions and afraid of each other this country, unhamp- ered by suspicions or fears, with gates open to the people of all nations, grew into a mighty nation no other nation wanted to tackle. But the magio of her power and the recognition given to it by other nations was not in her army or in her nary, for in both of these, as far as strength and numbers went, she was outranked by several Eu ropean countries, but it was in her daring, indomitable, country-proud fall of self-confidence and equal to any emergency or responsibility, thai might confront them. But the Republicans are playing the world-power dodge for effect, the object being to give the Mc Kinley administration credit for plAdnguj.where w. stand in the estimation of other nations, as if the grab of the Philippines has made us what we have been from the beraroinz.

The fact that we are a world-power sod hare pounced upon the PjbJIippines put forward as an argument for. holding on to the PHKppiheUia: to McKinley in order to hold our position as a world-power. -On this line the Ee- pubEcan -organs publish a good deal of nonsenseor which the following -r-r iron taa (Jieveiaiifl lrtacur as au "Whenthk'naiionV biasing with wrath over the oppression of a wear rrle at Its very took Spain by i throat, ft stepped 'out into the 5 tMagbttder, Dr. S.B.Sartman; Columbus, I can scarcely- find words to express my gratitude to you for all your kindness to me.
