DIPLOMACY IN THE PHILIPPINES

Z HILE the results of the fighting between our
w troops and the Fipinos have been the
whole satisfactory, is clear that attempt to
establish peace throughout the Philippines by strictly
military methods would entail long and costly strug
gle We could easily dispose OF the insurgents if they
would come forth as host in battle array like the
Dervishes at Omdurman, but it will not be so easy
to track thousand separate bands OF marauders
through the jungles and the mountains.
From the reports that come to us from Manila it
appears the Fiipinos have had sense enough to learn
already the difference between an American and a
Spanish force In the earlier fights the insurgents
stood their ground with some frmness and in one or
two instances even took the offensive and attacked our
lines with other than bows and arrows
They have now abandoned tactics OF that kind and
are fighting like heas the jump. They snap at us
in one place, and when we reach for them they are
somewhere else.
As a consequence OF these tactics on the part of
the insurgents troops have been compelled to re-
sort to what known punitive expeditions
that to say, detachments are sent out to destroy
property when they cannot find the enemy Thus we
are told that recent expedition after having scat
tered band of Filipinos proceeded to burn five miles
of huts and to destroy all the rice in the storehouses
and the growing crops in the fields
Punitive tactics very effective in civilized coun-
tries and in the temperate zone, but considerably
less so among semi barbarians in the tropics The
Filipino is not much dismayed by the destruction of
his bamboo hut, for he build another without any
cost for material and with no labor except that
of his wife and children Neither does he care much
for his fields in land where affords an album
dant supply of vegetable food and where owing to
the climate the amount of food required to sustain
life is very little
For these reasons it is probable the settlement OF
the Philippine mbroglio will depend more upon the

the army 1t is noted that the natives have been more
impressed by the kind treatment accorded to prisoners
taken in battle than by the valor OF our troops the
deadliness of our arms When it is clearly impressed
upon them that we do not mean to reduce them to
such condition of wrechedness as that imposed by
Spanish rule they will probably be willing to listen to
reason and accept our government peacefully as long
remain in the islands.
In the meantime it is certain that in dealings
with people whom Kpling has described as half
savage and half child shall have to humor them
good deal Punishment for any attack upon our lines
must of course be swift and sharp. 1t will do
to let them get the impression in their minds that
cannot whip them. At the time it is going to be
SO hard to catch the villains in order to whip them
that considerable amount of coaxing will be judi
cious in the interests of economy.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS.

pom no set of our State officials is there rest
ing at this time more serious responsibility
- than that with which the Regents OF the Uni
versity are charged by the duty of selecting a sue
cessor to President Kellogg It is hardly much to
say that the whole work of higher education in Cali
fornia will be less affected by the personal in
uence of the chosen and therefore the choice to
be made is one OF no.ordinary moment.
Universities, since the days of the academy
founded by Plato have performed important ser
vice in shaping the of civilization but in
human history was the influence of such institutions
SO potent at this time The increased reliance OF
men upon science to devise solutions for the social
problems and needs of the age has given the uni
versity leadership which it had before, and
has rendered the personal characters of its president
and its professors matters of small to the
community.
The time when university simply seat of
scholarship is past The people turn to the uni
versties for lecturers on all forms of knowledge and
on all issues that arise From farmers clubs, from
literary societies, from university extension associa-
tons from reform organizations, and from polti-
cal committees come demands upon them for a
scientific study of the problems OF the time and a
popular exposition of them.
The presidency OF university is a vantage
point from which strong, clear-headed, wise man
can make himself widely useful to the community A
small in such position is worse than nothing,
for his inability to usehe power the position gives
renders that power valueless the community, and
of the greatest forces OF civilization is therefore
lost to that people.
Regent Rodgers who has just returned from an
extensive tour made for the purpose of seeking out
we'll fitted for the presidency Of the University
reported have stated that he has Investigated the
qualifications OF ten men, and is prepared to submit
report at the meeting of the Regents in April. This
probably that the question will then be settled
and the selection made. That being So it is we'll at
this time to remind the Regents that they choos-
ing not merely to teach young men and
women the learning that can be found in books, but
leader of the higher thought of the State. If they
cannot find at this time who measures up to
that standard they had better postpone the election
and put the presidency in commission for while.

THE NEW MILITIA BILL.

u EFORE Governor Gage signs the bill for the
\ reorganization OF the National Guard he should
l. call into his counsel some of the leading Off
GERS OF that organization Not being military man,
the Governor will naturally be unable to understand
some OF the provisions OF the measure in question:
but that he ought TO understand them before he at
taches his approval proposition which scarcely
be controverted. AS originally framed the bill
more Objectionable than now, but it still contains
a large number OF so-caed reforms which Of
doubtful utility and which may instead OF placing the
National Guard upon d substantial footing,
thoroughly disorganize it.
The war with Spain left the militia of California in
a somewhat dsheveled condition, consequent upon
the enlistment OF large number OF its members in the
United States Volunteer service each enlistment hay
ing in law operated TO discharge guardsman. But
the disappearance of men and the resignation OF Off
GERS do not call for the changes OF system which
made by the bill now before the Governor. Under
method OF government the chief executive OF State
and nation is the commander in chief OF the army and
navy The reason of this is perfectly plain. In
Rome the military commanders used to be indepen-
dent and as result they often utilized their soldiers
TO place them upon the throne 1t is to make the
military department Of the Government subordinate
to the judicial civil and political departments that all
the generals are appointed by the President Gov
ernor and are made subject to his command.
The reorganization bill under discussion ereCts the
major general OF the California militia into indie
pendent official. 1t down the Governors staff,
and requires that some of his militia appointments
shall be approved by the major general; it fixes the
OF the latter definite period. and authorizes
him independently OF the Governor in the dis
charge OF many OF his duties, notably in ordering
campments and carrying them out.
This is all wrong in principle and should be
tolerated Depriving the Governor of power the
National Guard will not tend to reorganize that insti
tuition while will infract very important feature of
system OF government If Governor Gage will
call 10 his aid the prominent officers OF the militia
they will show him how this bill is certain operate
to the disadvantage of the organization We are sat-
isfed from cursory reading of the that it
increases the expense OF maintaining the Guard This
alone is an objection which ought appeal orciby
to the Governor, who IS on record economist
OF most unconlpromising character.
There are some good things in the bill, but they are
counterbalanced by the attempt to make the major
general of the militia irresponsible commander
We think that such innovation will generally meet
the dsapproval Of the National Guardsmen.

thereto and will fight for their possession.
