LETTER
On
Sept. WOO.
After making public hi letter
of acceptance, Mr. star-
n,
Pa., where his will this week
be married, for an indefinite stay.
This either indicates that he
what the powers are go-
to do in China, or that he is
extremely negligent American
interests, as there is now no one in
Washington to receive news from
China, higher than an assistant
secretary.
Mr. letter of
is a most carefully prepared
document, especially that portion
of it which seeks to lull the public
fears of imperialism. It misses
none of usual in fa-
of expansion, and either omits
entirely or glosses over the acts of
imperialism of which the
has been guilty. That
of it dealing with the
prosperity is not so
put together and will lie sure to
arouse smiles of incredulity among
the well-informed, who know that
it is Providence, and not the
administration, which has
the country bountiful crops
and that wars and not the
can administration, have largely
increased the volume of money in
circulation and thus helped along
prosperity at this time, at the ex-
of future tax payers.
Charges of the most serious
the Quartermaster
General's office, made by Mr. J O.
Cole, who voluntarily position
there in and whose standing and
responsibility are vouched for by
Senator Mason, have been pigeon-
holed for months, by the War De-
and Dot even a pretense
of an investigation made, although
the were specific as to time,
nature, and by whose orders
wrong-doing was perpetrated. Fol-
lowing a quotation from a state-
made by the man who
preferred the water
business, as
in Quartermaster General's
office contains the record of th
most shameful waste misuse of
public funds during the Spanish
war. It shows how the govern-
has been robbed in different
ways of sums of money, as com
pared with which the amount in-
the Cuban postal frauds
are a mere bagatelle, and brands
with deplorable incompetency the
army officers directly connected
with them. An investigation will
also show
When asked why these charges
bad been so completely ignored,
official of the War Department
said that no attention had been
paid to them because they were re-
as merely the spite work of
a disgruntled seeking
to get even with somebody for
some personal grievance. How-
ever, that will hardly the view
that Congress will take of the char
which Mr. Cole says will be
brought up early in the coming
session.
Those who are well-informed,
politically, know that Mr.
owes his election to the gold
democrats. That is why the ac-
cumulating evidence that the bulk
of gold democratic vote is going
to be cast for Bryan and Stevenson
this year is so disturbing to the
managers. They know
that gold democrats have it
their power to elect the democratic

eek, th republicans have denied

counts of the terrible disaster at
Galveston, Texas. A storm visit-

before its fury had been spent the
city was in ruins, and three thous-

Appeals for help were sent out,
and contributions of money and

distress of the sufferers.
