Mcss.ua: of confession.Mayor Ziegenheiu's third auuu.il ines-Kig- e

is a confession of the truth that,after three jears of Ziegenlieinism, thecity finds itself in the most deplorableplight Known to its history.

Theie is no phase of the Ziegenhcinrecord to whicli the Major can call theattention of m. Louisans us beingvorihy of popular commendation. Therehas Ikmmi ne achiecmeiit of tlie Mayorthat has served the interests of thecommunity, or been of any benefit what-ever sao to the m.ichinc g.mg. Thebest that is possible to Ziegcnheinismafter three jears of muuiciiml controlis an elaborate apology for it-- , short-comings.

The city is in sore need of improve-ments that shall place it on a level withother cities of its class. Owing to ex-travagant methods of government theiiiuuiciiial levenues have been wastedand are Inadequate to the citv's need.The gang of blood-suck- s on the" citypay rolls are still absorbing the s.

The city institutions are decay-ing and dangerously overcrowded. Themakeshift City Hospital is a disgrace.The city streets are in deplorable condi-tion. Work on tlie city sewers has beenstopped. Stagnation and dry rot pre-vail in local aflaiis.

Vesi.tdaj"s vivit of ilie February(rand .turois to the Major's otlice waspnnoked by a letter from the .Majorcomplaining that he was unable to comJ!j Willi the (Jrand .lutj's recoinmenda-li-- "

to pioduce witiiesse-- , to substanti.itetlieir charges. 'J hen it was that thei Jang Itoss fell under Ihe necessity ofconfessing tli.it he did not pioposo totake action against tlie gang.

Tlie moral is plain. The people of St.Louis must tak.. mio their own handstlie necess.nv work of punishing thegangsteis by whom they have been soauevously misruled. If the Apnl Cniudlury continues the investigation ot mu-nicipal abuses begun bj-- its predecessorit can aNo recommend the lemoval ofollicials found deielict.

To get rid of the gang it isimputative that the people of St. Louisshall also stand together. Thc Majorhimself compels unitul defensive actionacaiust the machine.

AVEIt DAVIS'S CO FUSE.It is undoubtedly true that Webster

Davis, until jcstcidaj-- Assistant Sccie-lai- y

of the Interior under President '.s

adiiiinistiation, is now "wellami lemotely sepaiated from this ad-ministration and all that it represents,"as the news ieports announce,

Piomptly upon the Misouiian's re-tirement from administration circles tliePresident's newspapers throughout thecountry opened lire on him. As a mat-ter of couise he will continue to be at-tacked in every way possible to thegang of empire plotters. Xo effort willbe spaied to discredit him befoie thepeople to whom he will appeal in be-

half of the liberty-lovin- g Poets, ihepiesent-da- y tjpe of the American pa-tiio- ls

of 177C.

Mr. Davis is to be licit lily consiatu-l.ite- d

upon his separation from thefoiees. lie has theieby saved

his Americanism and regained lus lightto plead the cause of freedom and jus-tice. No reward of pow cr or place couldhave repaid him for the sin against hisconscience which would have led him tosuppiess his convictions of the light-eousne- ss

of the P.oer struggle for inde-pendence. He took the only line of ac-tion possible to a Amcii- -

CJII.It remains to be seen whether Webster

Davis has sacriticed his career bj-- de-fending libortj. It is not by any meanscertain that he has done so. TheAmerican people have jet to pass judg-ment upon the administration policy ofimperialism and torj-is- which hascaused our shameful and tin iniericanhostility to the cause of lreedom inSouth Africa. When that judgmentshall lie tendered it m.ij be shown that

o luvis or Missouri has gained nia-ten.i- llj

as well as morally bj-- "remolelyseparating himself Troiii the McKinleyadministration."

NOT AGL'INALDO'S WAK.The sojouin of Aguinildo, the leader

of the Philippine insurgents, in Singa-pore, together with the continued ac-tivity of the insurgents in tlie Philip-pines, thoroughly disproves the conten-tion eagerly maintained by the imperial-ists that the Philippine insurrection is aone man movement, designed only forthe advancement of Aguiualdo.

The continuance of the instuiection intiie absence of the recognized leader ofthe movement demonstrates clearly tli.itthe insuri ection is based on a hostilitywhich is widespread and intense. Agui-ualdo is not tiie insurrection nor is itcoiilincd to a few guerrilla bands whoflee from pillar to post before theAiiieiicau armj. As the war continuesin spite of the absence of Agumaldo. soit would continue weie Aguiualdo dead.The statement scums .uistiiicd that theonlj w.ij in which the Fnited States cansubjugate the Filipinos is bj-- a. .sj&temsuch as the Anieiicans pursued with theAiiieiicau Indians. 1 he Philippines aretoo remote fiom the United States, tlieirresources and cliaiacteristies ate toopiobiematical, the interest taken bj tliepeople of the United States in them istoo meager ever to make this method ofassimilation feasilde.

The question wliuh confronts Ameri-cans is whether they want to keep up awar like that whicli Spain conducted inCuba for a century, never reaching thegoal and never, even with the most bar-barous measures, reducing the island tocomplete peace. Such a policy is opento condemnation on more grounds thanthat it is unamericau. It is criminallyfoolish and indefensible even from thestandpoint of pure coiuineicialisni.

TYPICAL TRIOKEKY.

It is not at all probable tliat thePiesident, through ihe efforts ofministration newspaper, will beto convince the American people bjmeans of skillfully concocted correspond-ence from Puerto Rico that the PuertoKicaus are grateful for tlie island'sstatus a.T a "colonial dependency," orthat thej- - prefer tariff taxation to theirilghtful enjojment of fiee trade underthe Constitution.

It is characteristic of .Mr. McKinley.hoercr, that such an attempt to foolthe American eopIe should now be un-der way. Tactics of this kind aie emi-nently in keeping with the spint whichurges imperial aggression and sjndicategovernment by force iu the name of

THE REPUBLIC: THURSDAY, &PRHJ 5, 1900. 'j tied and for the loot Uieie is in it. Mr. I

McKiulej-'s- . "mauifest destiny" has alic.idy dictated the denial of constitu-tional rights to the Puerto Kicaus. Ifnow it can be shown that the PuertoKicaus invoke heaven's blessings on thePresident's head lor this example otbenevolent assimilation" another

Thej point to the fact thatthus far the St.iudaid Oil Company inFuei to Kieo alone enjojs free tradewith the lest of the Fnited States. Theyask whether this syndicate monopoly isto be the one solitary iuteiest broughtwithin the scope of the Constitution thePuerto Kicaus mean w lulu starving onthe outside.

The truth of the matter is plain. ThePueito Kic.m mrifl bill has been passedbv ('oniric ss at the command of the.Siuar and Tobacco Ti lists. The peopleof Puerto Kico must suffer. The syndi-cates must ptolit. The McKinley ad-- .ministration is on the side ot the sjndi-caie- s.

on this basis it now goes befoicHie Aiiieiicau people. It remains forthe latter to approve or lebukc the ad-ministration's couise.

KANK KLASPHEMY.Gov ei nor Koosevclt of New Yoik is

lacking in a due rcgaid for proprietywhen he desciibes President McKinleyas liav ing "about as much backbone asa toj chocolate man that jou see on theconlectionei's stand."

Ciapliic though it may be, thc com-pnnso- n

is one that should not be ein-pioj-

at the expense of the Chief Ex-ecutive of the world's gieatest Power.It is calculated to lessen the respect inwhich the President should be held byhis people. Who can think with dignityof a Piesident with a chocolate spinalcolumn? Healthy bone and lirm mar-row aie so much better.

It is lucky for Governor Kooseveltthat he has spoken thus while imperial-ism is as jet in its eaily stages. Thepains and penalties attaching to losemajeste might otherwise have been his.--Air. McKinley with only as much back-bone as a toy chocolate man, indeed!If things go the way Mark Hanna de-sires such railing at the Lord's anointedw.Il soon be impossible." What ho, gaol-er! An oubliette, a donjon keep, a rackand thumbsctews and a creaking gibbetfor this varlct of a Teddy Koosevelt!

Webster Davis's ilrst interview dis-closes the fact that Cecil Rhodes paidno attention whatever to an invitationto attend a banquet given by the Ameri-can residents of Cape Town at thc out-break of tlie Spanish War. That seemsto be a good stai t.

Tlie student of politics who llgures outfrom tlie leturns of the April municipalelections the piospect of a sine thingfor his paitj in November is entitled toany consolation he can draw from hisligures. He maj-- need it in November.

Having barely saved the Ziegenheinadministration fiom disaster at thehands of the February Grand Jury, itseems hard that the Globe-Democr-

must now woik overtime to thc sameend with tlie April body.

Gov ei nor Koosevelt seems to have hitit whin he diclaicd that McKinley hadas much backbone as a man made ofjujube paste. India rubber resumes Itsoriginal shape too readily to describethat backbone.

Kansas Citj's misfortune in the burn-ing of her Convention Hall means thather tjpical pluck and entei prise will in-sure the completion of a bigger aud bet-ter building by next Independence Day.

Subservience to England is what theAmerican people find objectionable inthe administrations foreign policy. TheAmerican nation is not given to crook-ing the pregnant hinges of the knee.

It was right thoughtful of KansasCitv to show her appi edition of beingtlie Democratic convention city of 10(Hby electing a Democratic Major and theentire Democratic municipal ticket.

Kudjard Kipling's ioem on the deathof Joubert generously admits that theHoe i s maj-- ontinuc to revere their lead-ers memory even after they've beenwell whipped and subjugated.

Tlie administration criticism of Ma-goo- n

is piobablj-- based on the fact thathe onl J" took two sides on tlie PuertoKican question. President McKinleytook live or six.

Webster Davis may not feel so lonelyoutside the administration breastworksif Missouri sends an dele-gation to the next Republican NationalConvention. in

Major Ziegeiiliein's thiid annual mes-sage is so strong a confession of short-comings as almost to constitute a caseof State's evidence against tlie gang.

The attempt to assassinate the Princeor Wale will probably raise him mKritish esteem. Nothing unifies a familylike outside opposition.

Was Teddy Koosevelt "talking sweet"about Mr. McKinley when he comparedthe Piesideiifs backbone to that of atoj-- chocolate man?

FntoriiiK llnblln.At tho rntniico to the city she received

an address of welcome and handed to theLord Major n replj-- . The follow Ing is herMijest replv in full:

"I tlunk ou heartily for tho lojal wel-come and pood withes which jou have ten-dered me on beh elf of joursflf and jourfelIow-clll7- i ns on my arrival in the am lentcapital of my Irish dominion.

The Queen appeared to be much affectedbv the warmth of her welcome.

Tho ceremonies at the citv gate were mostpicturesque. London's jubilee l.ord Major.Sir GeorKe raudcl Phillips deei.ued thatthe reception and ceremonies were the finesthe had ever seen, far surpassing those ofthc great jubilee.

In replj' to tho address of welcome of theTownship Commissioners of Kingstown, theQueen handed a statement to the chairman.

As this written replj' was handed to thochalrm in, her Majcstj- - slid:

"I am very pleased to iind mjself in Ire-land again "

luectt 1ore ShnmrcicUi.No sooner had the Queen arrlvetl at the

Viceregal Lodge and lunched than sheelrovo out again in Phoenix: Park, beingmuch cheered .

Dublin went wild with delight over theexcellence with which .ill Uio arrangementsWeio cnirled out Not one black Hag ordisloj.il motto marked the lino of march.and the papular enthusiasm buricil all po-

litical feeling for the time.Uefore landing, the Queen, who looked

well, npked for a bunch otsham-rotl- fThey were secured, and throughout

the dij- - she wore them pinn-- upon berbreast.

Thc Duke of Aberccrn, Premier Peer ofIreland, who, with most of the castle partjwent to tho Viceregal Lodge after thorojal arrival and wrote his name ln thevisiting bock, said to the correspondent ofthe Associated Press:

"It is the inot wonderful, chivalrous andspontaneous exhibition 1 have tvei seen,and 1 am immensely proud of beine anIrishman. Neither tho weather nor thecrowds could be mere propitious. Thedemonstrations ehovv, despltej all politicaldifficulties, Ireland Is u lojal portion of thoEmpire."

Thesu sentiments nro echoed bj .ill theIrish nobijitj-- , who are gathering in DublinIn numbers never seen before. From thepier at Kingstown to the rojal residence)in Phoenix Park the distance is about ninemiles. Crowds lined the entire distance,but thcro was practically no disturbanceThe police and mllitarj- - nxe preserving per-fect orehr with less effort than would havebten necessarj in London.

Ceremony lit the Jnr.A most interesting ccremonj' took place at

the city limits, where an ancient gate andca"HIe towers had been reproduced for theoccasion. On the citv side of tho gate vverothe Lord Majror and Council in their scarletrobes, the miiccbearery In blue, and sliver,and several hundreds of the best-know- n

Irish, who were provided with sens onstands. The Kojal Innlskilllng Fusilierslined tho road as a guard of honor, vvhilobehind them w ero cordons of police, lancersand mllltl.i.

Thousands of spectators eagerlv awaitedthe coming of the Queen. Shortly before herarrival, thc pursuK.ini-at-arm- s wearing agorgeous cape of rojal heraldry, gallopedup to the Lord Major nijd asked permissionfor the entrance of tho Queen.

Dublin, Apiil C The Trecmin's Journal,representing the Nationalists, and alwavsassociated with the leadership of John Dil-

lon and Michael Divitt. s.ijs- -

"The reception accorded the Queen hasamplj vindicated Irish reputation for kind--

and courteous hospitality, but theremust be no attempt to imsinte rpret or mis-represent the attitude and feeling of thepeople it was not to tho Queen, It wasnot to the smut mo reprt sentatlve of thol'mpiie. but to an nged and feeble lidythat this kindly Irish welcome was afford-ed 'Ihe temptation to make her coming anopportunltj- - tor a rtrong protest whichwould commind attention against the hate-ful British Government in Ireland has beenresisted with wonderful forbearance."

Dealing with the address of welcome pre-sented b the Coipnration, the Prt ernnn'iiJournal, like the other Nationalist papers,deprecates It and points out that it was

welcome, not lojaitv. that was afforded,while the Queen in her replj- - expressedthanks for what was not offered."

TO RESCUE CAPTAIN CARTER.

Slory That an Attempt Was MadeLast Saturday Xi.glit.

rm i i.tc srncivi.New York. April i There is reason tn be-lt- ce

that nn attempt was ni.ttle last Sit-iirel-

night to rescue Obi rlln"U. Carter from the mllitarj' prison on Gov-ernor's I1 ind. which came within a hair'sbioidth if iiicceedlng.

These facts In regard to the atti mutedeseajie .ire admitted.

Two long tetm prisoners t ivvcd tliioughthe window bir of their cell last Saturel

at about h ilf past H o'clock and letthemselves down to the embinkment overthe bav

One of these prisoners occupitel the cellnext to tliat of Captain Obcrlin M. Carter,who was convicted of hiving defrauded theGovernment in the Savannah JIaibor im-provement work.

Alt information as to the identity of theseprisoners was refused to-- d ijr bj-- the off-icer in charge of Castlo Willi im." The officer alo refused either to atlirm or denv- -

juiai an aiiempc nan ueen m wo to rescueCaptain Carter.

One officer was heard io after thooccurrence that he believed an attempt hadbeen made to rescue Capt lin Carter.

Captiin Carter his frequently of lateboasted, and it was common go-si- p aroundthe prkon til it he made the boast, sajlng,"I will never co to rort Leavenworth."

On the night of the attempted e so ipeLieutenant Kppclv was officer of the elav.Ho was about to retire to his quarters noti.ir from the pri. on when the cr.aek of aufle from the direction of Castle Mlliambrought him. running half-clothe- d, to thoold forticss.

There the wildest cveltement prevailed,rjppclv took fp tho situation at a gi.mcoand made for the tea wall, where. It isslid, he saw a bolt culling off with theconv lets on board.

According to this version of the aff elr.Lieutenant ITppelv- - ordered his men to cov-er the boat with their rifles and com-manded the occupants to surrender or takethe consequences.

Another story sav.s that the boat hadbeen riddled with bullets before the Lieu-tenant arrived and was sinking. The fugt-tivi- s.

therefore, prelerrlng a prison to acold plunge and ritlc bullets, raied thewhite flag and surrendered. The", weremarched back to dark cells and the boatsank to thc bottom of the ba".
