ultimate dependence for success has
rested upon the assumption that jor-

as that which has been introduced by
Newlands of Nevada. This provides for

ances, although we know less of them
may be quite as great. 1t may be shown
that they are entitled to considerations
no less humane than those proposed to be
exercised in behalf of the oppressed
nearer our shores. The American spirit
of fair play, a national characteristic,
may indeed assert itself regarding the
treatment of those who have long been
struggling for liberty in the distant
islands. Their remoteness cannot be
urged against the sufiiciency of their
plea for equal consideration. Besides, in
our peaceful intervention in behalf of
the Armenians we acknowledged that no
distance could absolve us from the COM
monest duties of humanity.
Primarily we shall be governed by the
laws Of nations regarding conquered ter
ritory. AS to those which will apply in
the case Of the Philippines considerable
light is thrown by Frederick r. Coudert,
the eminent New York authority on
international law. He says the United
States may hold the islands as security
for indemnity for the cost of the war,
possessing them until hostilities are
ended, when their disposition will be-
come one of the factors in the making of
peace. On the theory that we cannot take
from Spain what she does not possess,
we are bound to respect all rights which
other nations have acquired How long
we could maintain possession and control
of the islands would depend upon the
contracts and agreements we may enter
into as the basis of a treaty of peace.
We could neither sell nor transfer the
islands to another power until we shall
have secured a title by treaty. We
might give possession, but not title, the
law of nations not differing from that
governing individuals in the transfer of
property. Having once obtained an un-
disputed title. we may do as we please
with the islands. Mr. Coudert points to
the danger Of trafficking in them, on ac-
count Of the proverbial Jealousy of the
nations, and thinks that the true policy
Of the United States, since this is
avowedly not a war of conquest, is to
hand the islands over to Spain, after that
country has made a satisfactory set
tlement for the expenses of the war, for
which she can be legitimately held. He
does not touch upon the moral or the
humane side of the question, essaying to
elucidate only the legal phase of the
question.
The broad problem will be as to tbs
duty of the United States to aid strug-
Cling patriots in all parts of the world

preston and guarantee to them stable.

should conflne our humane endeavors ex-

OUR TRADE WITH MANILA

Up-to-date facts regarding the trade
and commerce of the Philippines were
not at hand when the article that ap-
peared in yesterdays Herald was pre-
pared, but they were speedily supplied
in telegraphic digest of the latest re-
port Of Consul Williams, appearing in the
same issue. And they were something in
the nature of revelation, showing
marked increase in the trade Of this
country with the islands, and an immense,
preponderance over the transactions with
other countries. In fact, the exports
from the Philippines now exceed those
of twenty-one countries combined
which maintain consulates at Manila
England and all other nations take SO
per cent of the surplus productions Of the
islands, while the United States absorbs
GA per cent, the trade averaging one
million dollars month. OF the sugar
exports of the islands 55 per cent come
to us, and in about that proportion we
lead all other countries combined in
cigars, tobacco, hides, shells, indigo and
coffee. The principal item exported to
the United States, however, is hemp, of
which we took in the last quarter 1873, 1872
bales, against 10000 bales to all other
countries. This exhibit, however, is Of
but one side of the ledger. Our trade ex-
change has been one-sided, owing doubt
less to the fact that the laws are
more favorable to Spanish produce
ers and manufacturers. But the
presumption is fair that in the
future the United States will have some
thing to say about the local regulations
possibly all of the say-in which event
importations OF American products will
doubtless be largely increased with the
balance of trade probably in our favor.

A PARTISAN PROCEEDING

The Herald printed yesterday a letter
he charges that a company of volunteers
is being recruited in this city in which
membership in the Army and Navy
League, Republican political organiza-
tion. is prerequisite to enlistment.
That such an outrageous condition
should exist seems preposterous, but
The Herald finds, upon investigation, that
the statements of its correspondent are
organized in the assembly room at police
headquarters, and the Objectionable
condition was there announced last
Tuesday night by the captain Of the
company.
Such a state of things is intolerable.
The idea of the Republicans arrogating
to their party all the virtue and all the
patriotism on the part Of the people in
sustaining the government in the pending
crisis is insufferable to every honest
man. Suppose such a rule had been ap-
piled in the civil war. Grant, Hancock
and many others of our great generals
would have staid at home, together with
enough Of the rank and file to give the
war very different outcome.
The official representatives Of the DEM
ocratic party have given the present Re
publican administration every possible
assistance. They have blocked no judi
cious, essential legislation for the pur-
pose of making political capital. AT home
they have enlisted just as freely as their
political opponents. Indeed. the present
shameful instance is the first time The
Herald has heard of political distinction
being made in enlistments.

Is an attempt to make political capital
out of the country's necessities, and as
such it should be resented by every good

THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM

The questions of policy that confront
the United States lose none of their
gravity or delicacy as time passes AMI
events culminate. Our intentions with
regard to Cuba were outlined with suffl
cient definiteness in the presidents mes
sage, classifying annexation as Crime"
and by the joint resolutions passed by
congress. declaring it to be the purpose
of the United States, after the Spaniards
have withdrawn from the island and the
people have established thereon a stable
government, to withdraw our forces and
surrender our authority entirely.
1t will not be very difficult to carry out
that program, if the administration shall
undertake it in good faith. But as to
other Spanish territory, captured or to
be captured, this country has made no
declaration. Few people, in congress or
out, anticipated the speedy transfer Of
active operations to Asiatic waters.
Very few, we opine, expected that within
a month our naval forces would be in
possession Of the Philippine islands, as
they are now reasonably supposed to be.
Certainly no one up to within very re-
cent period, stopped to consider what we
would do with those insular possessions
of Spain, should they fall into our hands.
At all events, this question has not been
broached in cabinet or congress, and no
public declaration of purpose has been
promulgated
The conditions that have obtained in
the Philippines differ only in degree from
those that have for long time existed
in Cuba. The natives have been period
ically in revolt, and whereas the Madrid
government has been more successful in
suppressing the native rebellion there.
1t lacks none Of the characteristics of the
Cuban revolt, in that it refuses to stay
suppressed. Considered fairly pacified
a few months ago, the imminence of
American intervention in the affairs of
Spain gave to the Philippine rebels new
heart, and before the Spanish army of
occupation had been completely with

1t has been hinted that the program ar

In the absence of a sufficient land force
to hold captured territory, no other al
Tentative seemed open to him. To what
extent this policy has been exploited we
shall not be advised until the official re-
port Is received. But, whether or not the
rebels have been an important factor in
the events of the past week, they will
