Things are rettinso warm that the Philadelphia Press is advocating; the dropping of the postal frauds, and wants everyone to talk, about south ern election methods. Once in the dear dead days beyond recall, Dewey declared that his case proved that republics were not ungrateful. Wonder what he thinks about it now, when the Controller has cut off his fuel supply and the Supreme Court have bit ten his prize money in half? If the weather man will onlv console us with a few cold wave predictions we won't mind whether they come true or not. Madam, when the census man asks your ae, don't tell him it is none of his business, because it is. Tell the truth and shame the devil. From the ovationless way the people are taking- Otis' home-coming, thev evidently do not take any stock in his theory that the war in the Philippines is over. President McKinley is now sitting" up nights considering whetheritiscourteous in him to proceed with the re-modeling of the White House without consulting" Col. Brvan. In his three years of office, McKinley has appointed 22 commissions to investigate various things and they have cost over $3,300,000. And what have they accomplished beyond providing- fat places for executive favorites? The administration seems to be in a bad way. What with rogues in Cuba, incompetents at Paris and spoilsmen as judges at Buffalo, the sooner the President decides to stick to civil service principles, in stead of boss rule in selecting his appointees, the better the country will like it. It is practically conceded that the Democrats will carry the House this fall even if the Republicans save the Presi dency. If the- do, McKin leyism will come to a sudden end. The House holds the purse and will see to it that the President does not squander millions on his poli tical favorites and does not ignore the rights of the peo ple to known how he has spent their monev. The appointment of Hazel, a ward politican of Buffalo, as judge of the United States District Court, has brought out the charge which has been admitted that he re ceived a comission of $5,000 for selling- a yacht to the Gov ernment for $80,000 drrinw the war. Other commissions were paid amounting to $15, (XX), and after the war was over the Government tried in vain to sell the yacht for $25, 000. This is only a sample of Republican extravagance. Every now and then the old spirit of intolerence breaks out in the G. A. R., whose members show the most pro found inability to understand how grateful they should be to the South for the millions it has paid out in northern pensions. Subscribe for The News.
