Meaning of the "open Door,

The announcement of the American
peace commissioners at Paris that the
Philippine islands, under American
control, will observe the open door"
naturally justifes a definition Of this
phrase. Secretary of State Hay an
nounces as his understanding of the
term that a tariff system will be put
in force in the Philippines which will
operate equally against the products
of all nations. No nation is to have
any advantage, not excepting the
United States itself. The products
from this country are to pay the same
rates of duty as similar products from
Spain, England, Germany or any other
country in the world.
1t will be perceived that this implies.
not free trade but a uniform tariff.
1t gives the United States simply the
advantage which grows out of the ad-
ministration of Philippine affairs If
with our law prevailing there and
our officers administering them our
merchants are not able to hold their
own in competition with European
competitors, it will be the first time
that American enterprise has failed.
The advantage of relnquishing the
chance to enforce tariff determinations
in the Philippines is that it gives us
a powerful argument to use against
the interposition of discriminating dut-
les at any of the EurOpean-Owned
ports or inlets into China. We can
say that as we have dealt with Ger
many, France and Russia at Manila
so shall we expect they will deal with
US in their Chinese zones of influ-
ence." Possessing as we shall the CO.
operation of England and possibly
Japan, hint from us on this subject
will hardly require to be reinforced by
kick.
There will opposition in this country
to the open door" policy in the Phil
ipp:nes. There will be trade interests
which will be shortsighted enough to
want to cut off their nose to spite
their face. Near-sighted politicians,
too, may play this issue in the hope of
can Iarty. But the thoughtful people
of the country, when they have stud
led the subject as the president has
studied it and are made familiar with
tn. causes which have impeled him
toward this broad minded conclusion
will sustain him, and, as heretofore, his
critics will be confounded.

THE STATE MILITIA.
from the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Governor BloXham, of Florida, has Is
sued a circular letter as executive of the
state proposing national convention TO
assemble at Tampa, Florida, on the Sth Of
February next, to discuss methods for
placing state troops on the most effective
footing. All questions relating to arms,
equipment, tactics. clothing, food and
transportation are to be discussed by ex.
perts, as will the subject of camp sites,
sanitation and all precautionary meas
ures that modern science can suggest to
insure the comfort and health of troops.
There should be very general and hearty
response to this call from Governor BloX-
ham. Our recent war with Spain devel-
proved our militia system in most of the
states, our national guard was utterly
untitled for tho field Neither officers nor
men were equal to such an emergency.
and the result was great suffering ana the
sacrifice of many lives simply for want of
n thoroughly organized military system.
1t is idle to say that We shall not have
war soon again. We may or may not
most likely not, but hencoforth nearly or
quite all the states of the Union will
maintain n militia organization and II will
cost no more to make it as perfect as
possible than 1t would to keep it in a
state of loose discipline and unfitness
for military duty. In view Of the fearful
sacrifices recently suffered by the impe~-
fections of our militia system, the call
of Governor BloXham is one that should
enlist the interest and attention Of all
connected with our militia organizations

Roosevelt on the War Management

The stenographic report of Colonel
Roosevelt's testimony on Tuesday be-
fore the War Investigation commits
siln published in Wednesdays New
York papers fills in some interesting
details which We're necessarily omitted
from the cursory summary distributed
yesterday by the Associated Press.
Here is an especially vivid excerpt:

heads to keep themselV awake. There
were not enough doctors there and not
enough supplies. l saw some of my own
men right after they were operated upon,
having legs or arms amputated, or some
thing Of that sort, taken right out in the
jungle and left In the grass. Sometimes,
| know, they stay ed there twenty-four or
thirty-siX hours, with a leg or arm Off
and with nobody even to come to them to
give them Il drink of water. But they
had to be taken there. There was no.
where else to take them and nobody to
take care of them. Tie doctors were all
doing their best and working as braVely
as the soldiers in the trenches, but the
treatment at the hospitals was so hard
upon the men that as soon as possible the
wounded sent back to the hospital re-
turned to the front l could not get my

The Cuban Army.

According to General Jose Gomez,
one of the Cuban commissioners in
this country. he and his colleagues
are desirous of securing such recog-
milton from President Mckinley as will
give them authority to borrow money
as representatives of the Cuban peo-
pie. one of the greatest difficulties in
the way of disbanding the Cuban army
is that the soldiers have never been
paid. ItNwas promised them on enlist
ment that they should have $50 a
month, and now that the war is over
great sum is owing to them. If
they are sent to their homes, where
their families are starving, without
any money, the leaders of the army
ensue.
"We can never persuade them" said
General Gomez, in the course Of an
interview in the New York Sun. that
the officers have not stolen the money
They have seen the Spaniards do this
and they will suspect us We will
certainly lose lose our authority over
lneIll anu lildly OF lHcUl are likely TO
take TO the hills and become brigands,
1t is really essential for the good order
Of the country that the soldiers should
be paid. II President Mckinley will
recognize us as the representatives Of
the Cuban people we will be able to
borrow money enough to pay off the
soldiers. There is a syndicate OF cap
italists here in New York with whom
negotiations have been opened, and
they are willing to loan the money
as soon as this commission shall have
been recognized by the American gov
ernment. We hope to show the presi-
dent the necessity for this action on
his part"
Be our theories on this point what
they may, it will soon be understood
by the authorities at Washington that
1t is a condition which demands their
attention IN Cuba. theoretically it
may be argued with some plausibility
that no debts should be contracted
in the name Of the Cuban republic
which is to be until that government
shall have been created after fair

any expense made necessary in execu-
ton Of this purpose is a fair charge
upon all the people Of cuba. The in

1t did enough to earn the respect of

Of all Cubans. Those members of ii
who are not directly employed under
American supervision in police work
or other public employment should be
given at least enough pay to enable
them to turn from arms to pacific pur-
suits. This will be both justice and

feel that the ordinance and quartermas-
ter's bureaus should not be separated
from the dine. Admiral Sampson used the
guns which he built when he was head
Of the ordnance bureau of the navy. 1
believe It would be OF the greatest adj
vantage If we could have our ordnance
men ana our quartermasters in the army

necessary. ! believe II would be for the
advantage Of the line and for the ad-
vantage OF the army and the navy. As
for the other matter. the need of exorcis-
ing the army in peace, am sure 1t is the
only practical way of working out all

IN the Improvements that came with eX-
perience IN the field. Each year an army
should be actually put through in peace
what II would have to go through in war.
The testimony of Colonel Roosevelt is
by far the most practical and lumn-
Gus Of any which has been ELECTED since
the war commission began its investi-
cations. 1t makes clear that the coun-
try was not ready to 60 to war; that
it rushed in without system or plan
and fought its way to victory in spite
Of gross delinquencies and inconceiv-
able obstacles: and that If this is not
to be repeated in future public opinion
must brace itself to demand complete
ovcrhauling and modernization of
American military plans and methods,
so as to give us a regular force of ade-
quate size constantly kept up to the
highest efficiency and a volunteer re-
serve for whom good weapons, good
clothing, good camps of mobilization
and good officers, line and staff, are
provided, not after war is declared, but
all the time.

A Timely Decision.

The recent decision of Judge Wood
ward that the Salvation army has no
more right than any ordinary collec-
tion of persons to violate the city ord
nance against the making of annoying
noises upon the public street accords
with common sense. The judge polite
ly remarked in effect, that while the
court had no part in doctrines, faiths
Of forms of religious worship it could
net grant to one class and withhold
from other classes of citizens eXemp-
ii, n from the penalty for clear viola
tion of municipal law.
The decision ought to be studied in
every city in America. 1t marks a
necessary step toward the relegation
TO the rear of foolish abuses in Chris
tian evangelization. The bass drum
method of drawing attention to relig-
icus activities is not an essential. 1t
can be spared without weakening the
real good that is done by such organ
izations as the Salvation army. And
it will be a distinct gain to public
peace and to public order when the
lesson is learned in our leading cities
tha the livery of religion carries with
it no special license to make public
disturbances and disregard public
rights.
