BANK CHECK CHARGES.

On another page Of this issue we print fur
Their instament of letters from business men
on the recent Clearing House order concerning
the collection Of country checks. They show
that there Is a widespread and thoroughly
aroused sentiment cOndemning the charges
levied as excessive and as n menace 10 the
business prosperity Of the metropolis. ON that
prosperity the banks depend for their exist
ence and profits. and IT should be n matter Of
enlightened self-interest az we'll as Of patriot
Ism for them to maintain such favorable trade
conditions here as will draw to this community
persons from the widest possible area. New
York is great city and the financial centre Of
America, but nobody here can afford to adopt
n narrow policy of present personal advantage
on the theory that ether cities cannot help con-
trbuting 10 our wealth If they find they are
contributing not because ii is advantageous. hut
because they cannot help IT, they will soon dis
cover way TO help II.
It is gratifying to observe that tho bankers
have already taken notice Of the expressions
of opinion published in The Tribune. and have
modified their rule so that the charges will he
less oppressive than those at first proposed.
This conciliatOry attitude deserves cOmmenda-
ton. and bespeaks a sincere desire on the part
OF our UIduVlPTS 10 ufdl Ihlll Win lhlN Di'N-
ton. It Is one 10 which there are doubtless two
sides. and the desire of both parties should he
TO reach an adjustment which will afford the
greatest freedom TO trade without entailing UNI
reasonable burdens on the instruments of col
lection and exchange The concession of the
bankers TO business sentiment and public in
terest should he accepted in good spirit as an
earnest of n desire for such an arrangement
That the Clearing House officers themselves
regard it as final is hardly to be supposed 1t
does not 60 far enough meet the conven-
fence of business. which must he the object
kept steadily in view by the banker who wishes
to reap profits from the activities Of an expand
ing commerce. for the commerce will not ex-
pand duly If its convenience is not consulted.
Nevertheless, the new order Is an improvement
on its predecessor. II relieves the tension OF
annoyance and gives opportunity for friendly
consuta ton. which ought to secure n rule
which will protect the banks from excessive
burdens while freeing business men from the
menace to their Out-oftown trade.

THE LT/ON CAMPAIGN

The capture Of Malolos deprlves the Tagals
of their so-called capital and makes their gov
eminent" a fugitive affair in the brush. 1t
also gives our forces control Of the entire coast
for distance Of twenty miles north of Ma
Mia. and shuts the rebels away therefrom.
Aguinaldo and his followers have now no sea-
port and 10 means of communicating with the
outside world or Of securing supplies They
are reduced 10 the status of band Of maraud-
ers and ncendiares. ranging the forests and
hills of the interior. but possessing none of the
attributes of sovereign Power or of organ
lied belllgerentS.
1t will be remembered that some Of the
strongest arguments against an recognition
Of the Cuban rebels as belligerents, which were
especially urged by those vho are now opposed
10 suppression of the Tagal revolt and are in
favor Of treating with Agunado as a sovcr-
eign ruler were these: That the Cuban Gov
eminent had no known or fixed place of abode
TO which an envoy could be- sent, and that it
controlled no seaport through which commun-
cation with the rest Of the world could he had
Well that is exactly the plight of the Tagals
to-day. Why should rot the arguments used
against the Cubans be equally effective against
them?
Last summer General Greene. discussing with
the knowledge Of personal observation the con-
duct Of the struggle between the Spaniards and
the Tagals. said that the latter had obtained
results which they could not have obtained
against an American army. An American
army. he said. would have driven them back
'to the hills and reduced them to petty
guerilla warfare If they attack the Ameri
"can Army this will certainly he the result;
land while these guerilla bands might give
some trouble long as their ammunition last
"ed. yet with our Navy guarding the coasts and
"Our Army pursuing them on land il would not
'be long before they were reduced to subjcc
"tiOn."
General Greene a prophet worthy OF
honor. for that prophecy. in his own land. The
campaign is turning out precisely as he antici-
pated. Our troops have driven the Tagas back
from The coast. Our Navy will now guard the
coast. and our Army will pursue the rebels in
land Pretty soon the 1agals' supply Of am
munltion will be gone and then there will be
an end of their fighting. IN the mean time. the
vast mass Of the Philippine people will accept
the rule Of the United States with readiness
and find in il greater benehccnce than they
have ever hitherto dreamed of enjoying.

SENATOR HOAR'S TEN POINTS.

Senator HOar. whose uterGnces must always
he regarded with high respect, has summed up
the grounds of opposition TO the policy Of the
Government in the Philippines in the form Of
ten statements. which. he declares. have not
been and will not he successfully challenged.
Some of these are mere predictions or state
ments of personal opinion. which arc not prop
crly matter of controversy. Exactly opposite
opinions may he expressed. and have been ex-
pressed by men Of authoritative information
and sound Judgment. But some o. the points
in the Senator's case do deal with matters Of
fact and of record and are thus susceptible of
direct controvcrsiOn.
His first affirmation is that under the Con
stitution the acquisition Of territory by the Ma
is one of the constitutional points on which
volumes OF arguments. pro and con- might he
written. Seeing that the Constitution speaks
Of the holding Of property by the Nation rs an
end the average layman will conclude that the
acquisition Of property also as an end is not
repugnant to that instrument OF course in
one sense. everything in the Constitution. out
side Of the rhetorical preamble, is not an end.
