The Democratic party is not . much on conducting wars. Its specialty is promoting them. The extermination of the Kansas mortgage means the exterminn-1 tion of the Kansas Populist. The collapse of the Joe Leiter' wheat deal destroyed another issue! upon which the Democrats hoped! to do business. The attitude of the Pennsylvania Democrats has given the Republicans of that State ample provocation for breaking the record in piling up majorities. After the votes are counted in November those individuals who

were coaxed into taking Democratic Congressional nominations will become liberal patrons of the alibi counter.

President McKinley will doubtless recall the fact that Abe Lincoln had some rather vigorous war critics who never permitted themselves to be embarassed by the truth.

David B. Hill is disposed to confine himself to state issues. The last time Mr. Hill made an effort in national affairs he was thrown out of the Chicago convention with an undelivered speech on his person.

Chief Justice Doster of the Kansas Supreme Court, who is a leading Populist in his own state, has just returned from Cuba, where he went to visit his son, who is a major in the 22d Kansas Vols. Judge Doster bears testimony to the splendid discipline and order everywhere manifested on the part of the army, and says that the subordinate officers are mostly responsible for whatever delinquencies may have been discovered in the care and equipment of the army. This seems to be the true spirit in which to study the history of the controversy now going on. The Secretary of War can not personally superintend the execution of orders delivered to thousands of men in ’different places at various times. The subordinate officer, after having been informed as to his duty, must be responsible for the manner in which he discharges his responsibility.
