THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM.
ARuinaIdo May he Allowed to Form a Gov
ernment on Mindanao Under American
Protection.

Washington. Aug. 27.-When the
American policy in the Philippines is
determined it will be with a full re-
gard for the rights of the people in
those islands. Information which has
reached Washington from Manila indi-
Gates that the Philippine insurgents are
much better organized than the inSur-
gents of Cuba. Aguinaldo, their youth
full leader. has moreover, shown sur
prising administrative ability. In the
main he has lived up to his promises
to Consul Wildman, when he was
furnished arms for his troops. He is
ambitious to rule. 1t is not improba-
BILE that he will be furnished an oppor-
tunity for the qualification of his amb-
tion, which ought not only to please
him, but ought to produce the best of
feeling among the whole native popu-
lation towards the United States. There
is now receiving some consideration
in administrative circles a plan which
would afford II solution of the Philip
pine problem. 1t Is for the United
States TO retain sovereignty over the is
land of Luzon and allow the insur-
gents, under the leadership of Aguinal-
do, to form a government on the is
land of Mindanao. under the protection
of the United States. 1t is believed
here that this plan would be perfectly
acceptable to Aguinaldo and his follow
crs. With Il progressive nation like
the United States holding the isle of
Luzon and extending TO them every aid
and assistance, there would be no rea-
son. except their probable incapacity,
why the Filipinos should not build up
a prosperous republic on the island of
MindanaO.

The difference between enlightened
and unenlightened rulership is appre-
ciated by some of the people in India
despite the widespread discomfort that
prevails there whenever the British
government interferes with any half
civilized customs. A leading native
paper, the Pioneer of Lucknow. frank
ly says: I'VE are yet far from true
progress. Englishmen rule over us be
cause they are possessed of those high
moral virtues of which we have not a
vestige. Nor are we likely to acquire
them for centuries yet. 1t is
very essential, before we demand poll
tical rights and privileges from the
Englishmen, that we should endeavor
to acquire those virtues which alone
have made Englishmen great among
the nations of the world" Such a
spirit as that prevailing among the
people would make a tributary state
easy to govern. But upon the govern
ing state would rest the tremendous
responsibility of living up to that esti-
mate of it. There is n thought for this
country, which has just annexed an in
ferior state and proposes to govern it.
High moral virtue in doing so, to use
the Indians phrase. Is all that can give
us either justification or success.

Labouchere says that when one is
i'll a good-looking nurse is preferable
to one that isn't good looking. That
is the solemn truth; and it is equally
true when one isn't Ill. Let us hope
that the authorities of the hospitals
will bear this important fact in mind
and cease their discrimination against
girls who. wanting work as nurses, are
refused it because of the misfortune of
being pretty, or good-looking. There
is not patient anywhere wno
wouldn't vote for their soothing and
helpful presence, and it is wrong to
make them suffer for that of which
they have a right to be proud.
