public streets running through block
after block and belonging to the public
which are used as private property and
closed to the public and have been for
many years. And these are but the
beginnings of chapters Of injustice,
fraud and wrong practised under the
present system. Yet to open these
streets would impose unbearable cost
upon the owners Of the blocks under the
present system
1t is freely conceded that a change
from the assessment. to the general
system would result in some temporary
hardships. But all progress and re-
form have that as an incidental fea-
ture, yet no one for a moment thinks
of staying social or material better
ment because the change will bear
hardly for a time upon a few. The
charge that the general system would
increase municipal taxation we think
not well taken. Apparently that would
seem to. be the effect, but really there
would be. no, change. If a slight in
crease of general taxes followed, the re-
lease of foot frontage from the assess
ment liability values would be enhanced
and thus augment the assessment roll
The distribution of the burden among
all the people would make them more
watchful over municipal affairs and
thus result in distinct and immediate
political betterment But it Is quite
absurd to say that far outlying dis
trfcts could under the new system for
selfish gain overcome the will of the
thickly populated sections of a city
where the greatest values repose, and
the greatest protesting influence is to be
found
In short, a system imposing the cost
for street improvement upon all the
people of a municipality and all the
taxable property within it's, bounds,
would result in general good, since it
would intensity that sense of COM
munity interest which a people should
feel in the city of their home.
AS the care repair and maintenance
of streets after acceptance are now
made a general charge, we can see no
injustice in making the opening and
construction of the street a general
charge, in the first instance

THE AMERICAN DESTRUCTION.
lists.

By the dispatches this morning it viii
be seen that General Otis, command
ing in the Philippines, has made an
official reply to the War Department in
answer to orders for an exact statement
Of the situation in the Islands. The
General, it will be observed, is not near
ly SO much alarmed as are the timid
and the anti-expansionists with US. He
declares that all that holds the insur-
gents together now Is the hope and be-
lief that Americans will down the Adj
ministration and reverse the policy Of
holding the. Islands, withdraw our
troops and leave the Malays to wreak
their vengeance upon one another
In just so many words the General
says: THE only hope of the insurgent
leaders is United States aid" How does
that sound in an official report? But it
confirms the uniform story of all re-
turning from the islands that our most
effective foes are the copperheads at
home.
General Otis; says that we occupy
some sixty miles Of territory and near
ly the width Of Luzon. That the pop
ulation have ceased to flee from our
soldiers, and are finding out how they
have been deceived by the insurgent
leaders. The people are now returning
to their homes and the arts of industry,
and are anxious for the cessation of the
war. Among the insurgents there is
much contention, no civil government
remains, and, to use the words of the
General, copperhead influence in the
United States SIS the influence which
enables them to hold out.S
General Otis adds that everything
is comparatively quiet in the other ISL
ands, all awaiting the outcome in Luz
zon. From the outer islands are re-
peated calls. for the protection of our
troops and constant expression of anx-
iety for trade. The General reports the
health condition of his troops as fair.
There is large percentage Of sickness,
but he does not consider it alarming.
The officers and men who served in
Cuba suffer from recurrence of the Gu
ban fever.
On the whole the report is encourage
ing; certainly there is nothing in it to
justify the lamentations set up so dolo-
rously by the opposition press which is
just now bowling in unison over the
failure of the campaign in Luzon." In
fact it has not failed. It will not fail.
and there is no reason whatever for any
belief that it will be abandoned and the
country turned over to the Tagalogs.
who are the principal people opposed to
us in arms in. Luzon.
We are not fighting the Philippine
population, but an exceedingly small
portion of them, and those mainly
from one tribe or class; a class, by the
way, hated in the archipelago, and
which, if given power, will find itself
at once opposed by rebellion on the
part of the other tribes. Indeed, Cen
eral Otis tells us in this report tSat
already in southeast Luzon the natives
are combining to drive out the insur-

rebels could possibly gather 1900 men

Los Angeles Express: Dispatches. from
Washington state that the President is
now thoroughly aroused over the situa.
ton in the Philippines, and stands pre-
pared to use every means in his power
to bring the campaign to an end. The
President, it is further stated, has here
tofore hesitated for political reasons, as
he has desired to avoid further i'm
perialistie" criticism, but that now a
word from General Otis is the Ringing
point of the whole question. Let Us
hope that the vital word will be i'm
mediately forthcoming, if that is al
that is necessary. The President as
the ommander-in Chief of the Army
and Navy of the United States, has the
power to call for troops and to send ar
adequate force to promptly Suppress the
rebellion and properly garrison the
country after the insurgents are con-
quered and this is what he should do.
The '.imperialistic' bugaboo should not
deter the President from doing his
whole duty. and doing it promptly and
thoroughly, and If that word from Cen
eral Otis is not forthcoming at once
a gentle hint through the War, De-
partment that it is expected would
doubtless expedite matters, to the mu-
tual interest of all concerned.
