There is some encouragement TO be found
in the sailing of the transport steamer
Grant from New York. in the fact that The
officers and soldiers who have families
were authorized and instructed to take
them along. This obviously means that
the President has no present notion OF an
carly surrender of the Philippines. for the
ship is bound for Manila. The troops num-
bered about two thousand and there were
many women and children aboard, for
whose comfort every provision has been
made. 1t is expected that other young
women. the sweetheaTts of officers and
men. will make the journey later and be
married and settle down in the islands.
General Whittier recently returned from
Manila, says the Americans all vnderesti-
mate the riches of the Philippines and he
has little doubt that large proportion of
the volunteers who are discharged will re-
main there to enter into business. He re-
peats what General Merritt has said, that
German and other European families have
lived for fifteen years at Manila and have
found it a healthful climate. They expect
TO spend all their life there. The assertion
of Mr.. Bryan that Americans will never
colonize the Philippines but that the Fill
rinos will invade this country, does not
seems TO have the endorsement of anybody
who has studied the islands and the peo-
pie. Observers believe the Filipino labor
ers viii have better prospect of prosperity
AT home than here. after American rule is
fully established and modern machinery
and American capital and energy are en-
ployed. They are not migratory race and
they have no yearnings for a colder cline
The women who are now booked for the
Philippines will organize society on the
American basis, and they have the state
ment of the widow of Robert Louis Steven
son that life in the Pacific islands may be
wholly delightful. There will be American
children born there. and in time it will be
an ideal place for American tourists. 1t is
cheering TO know that the women passen-
gers of the Grant expressed themselves as
charmed with the permission to accompany
their husbands and as looking forward to
happy years in an island home. Expansion
begins in earnest with the departure OF
this transport.

the proportion Of Confederate dead, consid
ering their inadequate facilities of all kinds
for caring for the sick in hospital and
wounded on the battlefield, completely lost
to all ken, would be fully as great as the
Union figures although their losses were
considerably less in the aggregate, while
greater in percentage, owing TO the fact
that such a great proportion of Union
regiments We're never in battle at all.
Therefore. in case of a systematic effort
to care for the Southern dead as the
Union dead were cared for. should the
Presidents suggestion contemplate such
scope, the question. Where are the Con
federate dead? assumes a deep signih-
cance. While it is probable that not moro
than q third of the graves of the South
ern dead could be found and identified.
national participation in the care OF
that fraction would fully justify the prin-
ciple involved to the satisfaction of the
South. the more especially if the same
provision be made for them as for the
Union dead. In any national participation
in the care of the Confederate dead it is
more than likely that the character of the
undertaking will be similar to that in con-
nection with the Union dead, but owing
to the lapse of time the results will be far
less satisfactory for the reasons given.
Col. Fox, in his valuable and painstak-
ing book on "Regimental Losses in the
Civil War, says that Il summing up OF
the casualties of battle and all minor en-
notwithstanding official reports only, and
in their absence accepting Confederate es-
timates-indcates that $4,000 men in
round numbers were killed or mortally
wounded on the Confederate side during
the war. That the aggregate must have
been fully this number is made plain by
the following official figures from incom-
