The principles laid down by the state
department at Washington in its re-
fusal to pay an indemnity to Austria
IN account of the citizens OF that
country killed in the Lattimcr riot
should be committed to memory by
very foreigner residing in these United
states. We repeat from Solicitor PEN

traction OF the penal law, prosecuted
and punished. In particular if they

An Inconclusive Verdict.

If the report of the commission APP
pointed 10y the president to investigate
the conduct of the war has been cor
roctly summarized by the Associated
Press, it's findings viii! disappnint
public confidence. 1t is doubtful if they
could have been conclusive in any
event in view of the fact that the les-
timony on which they were based was
voluntary throughout. The commission,
to he sure. was the only means which
the president had at his command, four
months ago. to satisfy the popular de-
mand for an inquiry into war methods,
yet 1t has proved to be, as was at the
time generally forCseen. a weak mean".
Fortunately it opens the door to a
Genuine settlement of the points Al

Hemp for Aguinaldo.

The authorities at Washington and
Manila are evidently competent to at
tend to Aguinaldo and his army" but
if the public were asked to give advice
it would suggest that before the pres
ent insurreCtion is considered at an end
the personal surrender of Aguinaldo be
demanded, to be followed by his public
execution. This is necessary both as an
object lesson to agitatOrs OF his class
and as an act of justice. Aguinaldo is
personally responsible for the slaughter
of his dupes precipitated by the recent
attack on the American forces; he is
clearly a knaVe of the worst type and
so long as he remains alive he will be
Il menace to the peace of the Philip
pines.
There is nothing Intentionally blood
thirsty in the proposition here ad-
Nanced. No American feels anything
but pity for the ignorant victims OF this
rash attack. Even Aguinaldo himself
is perhaps a victim of heredity, bad en-
Vironmcnt and too much prosperity.
But if his execution would impress up
on the sullen natives, half devil and
half child" that American authority
will not tolerate treaChery it might be
the most economical and humane step
that could DE taken in pursuance of
uur policy OF reconstruction in Luzon.

The Situation at Harrisburg.

The Situation at HARRISBURG.
The pcstronement Of consideration of
the McCarrell bill until after the date
liked for the trial of Senator Quay sat
isles the objections of those VINO op-
posed this bin for no other reason than
because they feared 1t would operate
to Quay's advantage. With this factor
eliminated from the equation the hill
should have easy passage. Yet If it is
lit to pass in March it ought to be
equally III for enactment at once, and
no doubt the legislature will yet take
this view on a rlotion for reconsidera-
tion.
In the mCautimc the senatorial situ-
alton remains the same. Senator Quay
is tho norincc Of the Republican eau
Gus urdor the belief that the charges
against him ar" ractioHal and vindict-
i've in their inspiration and raised At
this time for political puruos'. Those
who hold to this belief are in honor
hound to stand by quay until he has
had a fair opportunity to confront his
nccusers In court. If this involves q
dladlockinE of public business for q
considerable time the responsibility
clearly rests upon the minority faction
which 10y botinR the caucus has pre-
ciritated such Il situation. 1t cannot
be- held that a majority should Weld to
