TIE PHILIPPINE APPEAL.

The petition Of the natives of the Philippine
Islands resident in Europe to President McKin-
ley asking that the United States shall not
abandon their countrymen to the tender mer-
Giles Of Spain is one which certainly should have
the consideration Of our Government in arriving
at any conditions Of peace. They say: ITO
"hand over our country again to Spain Is con-
stray TO the humanitarian proceedings Of your
"noblc Nation and the wish Of oil classes. Civ
'ilzation. trade and order all will be lost II
Spanish authority Is re-estGblished In any
"form" The record of Spanish colonial rule for
four hundred years gives them only too good
reason for their fears, and 1t Is difficult to see
with VIVA: grace this country. after making
war against Spain to put down cruelty and
maladministration In Cuba, can calmly close its
eyes to the cruelty and oppression to which it
would be booming the natives Of the Philip
pines by abandoning them at this stage of their
affairs. There was once philosopher who, on
one occasion. qualified the received law Of his
time that Mature abhorred a vacuum" with
the statement. Mature does not abhor a vacu-
UNI beyond thirty-two feet" &c. too, we have
some philosophers who preach to us justice
and humanity, but warn US. Americans should
mot abhor wrong and suffering beyond FIVE
cept that as the law Of justice and humanity,
but they have not hitherto set bounds of space
upon their conscience.
For 1t is not to be forgotten that the Philip
pines are on their conscience. 1t is not merely
. question Of our going Off as knights Grant to
right whatever wrongs we can find In distant
places. That would indeed be q case where we
might wisely counsel ourselves to mind our own
business and say We did not hold rowing COM
mission as general reformers. But the Philip
pines are our business We are responsible for
present conditions there, and we cannot turn
back the hands of the clock, restore things to
the old basis and free ourselves from the moral
responsibility for the future Of the islands.
True, the part VIC have played may be said to
have been accidental. Nevertheless II Is some

archy. Before the Spanish American War Spain
had succeeded In queng all revolts in the
Philippines. by what means we need not now

BEGIN NOW.

1t Is reported, seemingly on good authority,
that Mayor Van Wyck and other members OF
the Board of Estimate who follow his lead are
no longer opposed to the Public Library and will
authorize the issue of bonds for S2,5O0,000 to
erect the library building when the debt limit
difficulty has been adjusted. 1t is reported alsoe
by "Fhe New-York World" which has intelli-
gently devoted much attention to this subject;
-and shares with The Tribune the credit Of keep
ing 1t under public observation. that the Mayor
is not yet convinced that the sum Of S150,QHQ,
required for the preparation OF the reservoir
site ought to be provided forthwith, but inclines
to the opinion that this preliminary work should
be postponed until the building fund is avalla-
bic. We hope that on this point the Mayor will
yield to the Influences which have changed his
views on the general question, and vote TO sup
ply the comparatively small sum which is now
asked for.
The demolition of the reservoir is not a trivial
Job which can be quickly finished While 1t Is
going on 1t will necessarily cause some incon-
venience and annoyance, but this Is the season
at which II would be least troublesome, and
nothing is to be gained by deferring 1t, II the
local administration Is now really In favor Of
the library and means to act fairly by 1t. On
the contrary, it is in every way desirable that
the site should be made ready without unneces-
sary delay, so that no time may be lost in be-
ginning the actual work of construction after
the money has been provided 1t would be
agreeable to virtually the whole community.

A NATIONAL GUARD ORDER.

1t is recognized that Adjutant- General TIL
linghast has been interchangeable In the perform
ance of his military duties since the war broke
out. His functions. largely ornamental In time
Of peace and for that reason often sought by
and occasionally conferred upon an applicant to
whom the red kiss Of the sabre Is distasteful.
have been Of an extremely important character
during the last three months, and 1t Is pleasan.
to hear that his industry the rapidity of his
movements and his incessant socitude for the
dignity Of his Office have been remarked by all
who are led by duty or interest to observe the
operations Of the military establishment. 1t
has been reported, indeed, that General Tilling-
hast was allowing himself too little time for
sleep and had fallen into the dangerous habit
OF postponing his regular meals indefinitely and
snatching hasty bite here and there as oppor-
tunity offered We do not feel sure that this is
not masnanimous exaggeration. but, even 30,
1t indicates pretty clearly the impression which
his conduct and demeanor have produced upon
mon who would have been likely to detect and
possibly glad to expose. flaw
Our fear is that the Adjutant-G is over
worked, and this apprehension derives some
support from the order just issued from Ma.
tional Guard headquarters declaring vacant the
corps, troops, batteries and companies who have
entered but not with their respective organiza-
tons, the service OF the United States Upon
even n brief consideration two objections TO
this order appear. The first concerns Its valid
ity. The military code provides that COM
mlssioncd officer of the National Guard cannot
be discharged without his consent, excepting by
the concurrence OF the Senate In the Governors
recommendation. as the result Of the verdict of
court-martial or In consequence Of the find
ings Of I'm examining board. The plain infer
ence from this provision Of the code Is that the
Chief in whose name, of course.
the order certified TO by the Adjutant- General
was issued. lacks authority to dismiss of his
own motion a commissioned officer enlisted In
the service Of the United States In the second
place. there is good reason TO sympathize with
an officer OF the Guard who, finding that his
organization, as such, was not to be sent into
active service, was moved by patriotic arfor to
embrace whatever opportunity he could find to
fight for his country. And 1t must we think,

he regretted outside of military circles that
preference FOR staying Mt home, though qulte
reasonable and proper In many cases, should DC
SO conspicuously rewarded at the expense OF
gallant officers who have gone to the front.
1t Is not impossible, or we hope 1t Is not thh'
