FRIDAY, MARCH 10. 186». W

THE best argument of tbe good work of the late legislature is the fact that Democratic papers can bring no reasonable criticism to bear on it.

Ix seems to be getting fashionable to raise wages, but our ear iB still waiting to hear Bomebody Bay tbe merry jingle in tbe workingman's pocket is only the result of another scurvy capitalistic trick.

ALTHOUGH the question had already been decided in the negative by President McKinley and his advisers, making legislation upon it unnecessary, the Forakar amendment to the army bill, declaring that no property franchises in Cuba shall be granted by this government during its military occupancy, is warmly welcomed by the officials, because it will put a stop to applications for such franchises.:

GERMANY is a little late about it, but the admission that Admiral von Diedrichs made a glittering idiot of himself in Manila bay last summer iB better late than never, but the official assurance that Prince Henry has been appointed to the command of the Asiatic squadron because he is "popular in the United States" is overdoing the conciliation act. Nobody on this side knows or cares anything about the prince, and the only way he can make himself popular and at the same time save his own royal hide is to keep out of Dewey's line of fire.

GEN. OTIS will have about 30,000 effective men in his command when all the soldiers now on the way to Manila reach him. ThiB force will probably be large enough to allow him to take the offensive, and clean the rebels out of all the principal points in tbe Island of Luzon. Apparently no formidable resistance is expected in any of the other islands. Aguinaldo's authority seemingly extends no farther than Luzon. The fact that the population of the Philippines consists of about a dozen races has its advantages for the Americans. It prevents Aguinaldo from getting any support outside of his present baoe, and makes tbe work of pacification easy and simple after the rebels in the vicinity of Manila are dealt with. Tbe American Malays who were predicting a loDg and destructive guerrilla warfare will be grievously disappointed.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY is inclined to favor tbe adoption of tbe suggestion made a few days ago, by Gen. Gomez, that United States troops to be kept in Cuba until such time as it may be considered advisable by this government, to turn the island over to the Cubans, shall ba largely recruited from the ranks of tbe Cuban army. The new army bill gives the President discretion in the matter of recruiting from the natives of any of tbe islands occupied by us, and, unless isomething occurs to make such a step inadvisable, •it is extremely likely that many Cubans will soon be wearing Uncle Sam's uniform. To enlist a few thousand Cubans in our army will be killing two birds with one stone it will reduce the number of Americans who will have to be kept on the island during

the

sickly season, and it will give employment to many who might became troublesome if unemployed.
