Thc administration is a hearty advo cate ol the distribution of the spoils of victory ainoiiir the victors. In case there arc not enough spoils to go around, no pains are spared to have something spoil instanter. Commissioner General Peck, ??1 the Paris Exposition, has bern asked to account for a million dollars which he overlooked in rendering his statement oilexpcnditures. This is ijuite a pretty piece of picayunishncss to ask a gen tleman tonccounf for such a trifle al ter he has accounted for 5<400,000. The million v as merely an oversight and will turn nj? all right some day. -mam' . mm -- The people of Walhalla are actively making preparations for the celebra tion of the semi-centennial of the founding of the town. A strong effort is being niade to have a grand gather ing at Walhalla in August, when a monument made of native granite and dedicated to (Jen. John A. Wagoner, the founder of the German settlement, will be unveiled. The work of ar rangement is in the hands ?d' compe tent committees and much enthusiasm is evinced. Our Republican Congress should not fail in its hurry to stave oil" the inves tigation of administration scandals by adjournment to declare a big, yea monumental, war against that grand old rascal, the Sultan of Turkey. Such a declaration would produce a most profound patriotic fervor and is abso lutely necessary for the success of tho party in this fall's elections. The peo ple need diversion. It is not well for them nor tho party that they brood so constantly upon the same old issues, and the President should not fail to hasten matters over there to a speedy climax before the final adjournment ia bad. _ m_ The appropriation recently made by Congress for an armor plate factory has hod tho effect of breaking up the trusts controlling armor plate and projectiles, and the announcement of a reduction is made by one of the former trust concerns amounting to more than no per cent. When we remember thc earnest protestations of the trust rep resentatives in Congress that armor plate and projectiles could not be made for less thau the prices then being paid, we appreciate more fully tho value of those representatives to the trust interests and their baleful use lessness to the country whose servants they are. The responsibility for the defeat of the effort to pass the Nicaragua cannl bill at this session of Congress rests upon those ferocious statesmen who insisted that we shall fortify the canal iii defiance of our agreement with other nations.-A tia ti ta Jo u mal. Thanks to those ferocious statesmen who preferred to delay this great en terprise even fifty years rather than surrender lock, stock and barrel to Great Britain, repudiate forever the Monroe doctrine, and re-animate a dead and an almost forgotten treaty. Had those pro-English journals of tho Journal class been less ferocious for British interests in America there would now be no responsibility for them to try to place. The empire of China is beginning to crumble, the rotten government is no longer respected even by the military among whom occur doily wholesale desertions to the murderous "boxers," a secret anti-foreigner organization. The atrocities to Christinn missiona ries and natives demand the instant suppression of that fanatical element or tho immediate partition of the em pire. At tho outset, however, let this government withdraw from the Orient ia order to avoid the broil incident to tho division of the. spoils. Tho United States does not want a war with Orien tals for Oriental land any more than it would relish foreign aggression on Western soii, but unless some hasty, but careful action is taken there is no power under the sun to release us from participation in the bloodiest war ever known to history. Cuban postofficea aro not the only soft plums on the bush. Hight under the nose of the Postoffice Department, funds from the Washington City post office have been misappropriated for the past two years, the irregularities for one quarter amounting to over *20,000. The Washington Post, the fairest independent daily at the capi tal, makes the direct charge that post office inspectors have been instructed to let the Washington City postoffice alone. The reason for this extraordi nary order is made quite apparent now since the scandalous developments which have come to light. It is charg ed that numerous henchmen of the ' Administration a:c well provided for through this office. Republican *?**u*?_ clans from New York, Ohio and Indi ana have their government vouchers certified from the Y*'u?hingion City postoffice; private expenses for pleas ure excursions of department officials and persons only nominally in the em ploy of the Department aro cashed by this office and charged to incidental expenses; a faithful Republican news paper reporter drew an annual salary . of $1,700 for several months ns physi cian to tho city postoffice; several wo men are on the pay roll at an annual ~ salary of $000 each, none of them per \ forming any work whatever; several I men also enjoy tho same kind of snap. j .such scandals are of immense benefit * to thc Democracy, which seems to bavo an unlimited supply in reserve for tire complete stultification of its debased old enemy. It is worthy of noto that tin* only discordant note sounded in the t convention of Confederate Veterans in Louisville on the question of burying sectional hatred and cultivating filial affections between the North and the South was Bounded, not by a brave and chivalrous representative of Southern manhood, but by a man from North Carolina named Hurgwyun, whose war record is never mentioned in history nor even in tradition. The innes of Confederate Veterans in North Caro lina know as much about the name of Harry Burgwynn as a hog kilo? s about tile parliamentary laws of heaven. We are not prepared to charge that he was a skulker, but we are aware that he never distinguished himself in the ser vir?. Knowing nothing of the record of Col. Titos. G. Sample, a post com mander of tho (J rand Army of the Kc public, who made a similar exhibition of himself in Philadelphia in opposing the erection in a national cemetery of a monument to tin- C onfederate dead, we feel that we hazard very little in placing him in the same class ?vitia Burgwynn and branding them both as blatant, arrant cowards in time of wai ns they have proven themselves tobe in time of pence. Representative Hailey centered the billi's eye when the anti-trust resolu tion was ii]* for consideration in the House last Thursday by charging tho Republicans with cheap demagoguery in playing to tho political gal I eries on tho eve of a national election. After taxing them with n lack of sincerity and political integrity, he declared: "Some of you may bo hypocrites, some even rascals, but none of you are fools.1' The ruse they are attempting to work, transparent ns it is, is evi dently based upon the assumption that a majority of the American people are fools or blind, deluded dupes. They greatly mistake the reasoning and re tentive faculties of the minds of their fellow-citizens if they hope in their desperation to stampede them from a thoughtful and avenging perusal of a record too hopelessly at val iance with their now pious pretensions as to truut regulation. They can not forget tho administration's position as enunciated by tho Attorney General who delivered an opinion to the effect that the States should control tho trusts and that Con gress bad no constitutional authority to check them. Upon this eminent legal authority, the Republicans have been absolutely quiescent on trust legislation during the whole of McKin ley's administration and pleading in justification the helplessness of a mew ling bobo; now that campaign thunder is in big demand they became suddenly aroused to tho enormity of tho trust evil and wish n two-thirds majority of tho States to surrender to -the general government all their powers toward curbing trusts (an absurd proposition but ono mnde in deep feigued serious ness). They then wish Congress em powered to define, regulate, control, prohibit or dissolve trusts, monopolies or combinations. In the first place, they know the trusts will bo wholly immune from any vicious legislation ns a result of tbtir policy, for they nro not fools enough to believe that tho necessary majority of States will ratify the proposed amendment that will rob them of the right to control their do mestic industries. They know further that if tho amendment should be rati fied that the congressional prerogative to "define" trusts will take ample care of the contributing trusts to the cam paign fund. Those trusts who decline to pny tho fiddler will bo promptly ruled out of the dance by being "do nned'' ns a "bod trust." The Republi cans in this Congress, having labored so incessantly, BO boldly and with such servile submission to tho trusts and protected interests, need only to re count tho increased formation of these unlawful combinations of capital under tho operations of their own Dingley tari ft' rates to enumerate their entire constituency. They have been the ser vants of tho trusts all along, and now wo have no doubt that tho amendment so suggested is tho plan sanctioned by tho trusts themselves. Commend us to those Democrats who stood by their colors and voted against the amend ment. They accept tho issue gladly and in their action voico tho sentiment of tho American people.
