Good weather and good management COM

an appalling disaster. The reef on which

Scarce d season passes without tragedy

the world might today have been bewailinS
another calamity of shocking proportions.
There are evidently certain currents set
ting around this spit Of land which are not
yet accurately calculated and charted.
That so staunch ship as the Paris should
be carried far enough out of her course
in calm weather as to strike is in itself a
matter for serious concern, apart from the
damage which has been wrought There is
a belief that the English authorities might
do more than has thus far been done to
render this danger point more secure. AT
present practically the skill of the pilot
alone can be relied upon to prevent such
wrecks as that of the Mohegan and that of
the Paris

The movement downstream by Lawton
may mean that there is to be no further eff
fort to flank the enemy. From San 1sidro,
the former rebel capital, just captured, to
Tarlac is about twenty-five miles across
country. In all proba bility Gen. Lawton
has found the advance SO difficult away
from the railroad that it has been deemed
wise not to attempt any more flank
marches, but to concentrate the forces in
the field at San Fernando and possibly to
move thence northward along the railroad
toward Tarlac. Gen. Luna has destroyed
the line for several miles in his front be-
tween him and the American army and the
advance to Tarlac. if attempted, may be
slower than otherwise on this account.
the chief point in the case. as revealed in
Gen. obs dispatch, is that the enemy is
now farther removed from the main Amer
lean position than at &ny previous time in
the campaign. The dispatch also notes the
steady disntegration of the rebel forces.
The desertion of leaders and troops must
continue if the campaign is pushed ag-
excessively and the plan of government is
steaufastly presented to the people upon
the basis of practical local autonomy and
good administration for all.

So Reasonable and Sensible.

1t Is so delightfully."- reasonable to believe
that American soldiers in the PHILIPPINES
under such men as Otis, Macarthur Law
ton and Funston are resorting to practices
that have never been resorted to by Ameri-
can troops, even in the struggles with the
implacable Apache. 1t is SO indicative of
common sense to accept for gospel accounts
of deeds of fiendish malignty paraleled
only by the traditions of the Inquisition OF
the tehmgericht. One can imagine the
mlschlevous glee with which these young
steers In the Philippines dish up these tales
1or no other purpose than to raise the hair
and make creep the flesh of their gentle
mothers and sisters. Swallowers of these
tales OF gore need few bottles of some
thing to cure their biiousness cheer them
up bit and awaken a sense of their own
righteousness. Spring is a trying season
out sense of humor is better than many

An Unworthy Pnipiteer.

This story dated yesterday, comes from
Calumet, Mich;
This city Is excited over sermon de-
liYered by Rev. II. c. Hunter at the First
Congregational Church today. Rev. Hunter
took occasion to criticiSe the national ad-
ministration for its Philippine policy and
its course during the Spanish war. Charles
TOmma. volunteer in the 34th Michigan,
was in the audience, and he interrupted the
pastor, saying: Any man who talks like
that is d traitor TO his country and to his
flag. and l refuse to listen to him. He then
left the church.
The Rev. Mr. Hunter belongs to that
class of men-not numerous, but very noisy
who insist that, in the first place, the war
with Spain was unjustifiable, and, in the
second place. that, when begun, it was
fought unwiseIy. The administrations
course in the Philippines they especially
condemn. The only merit these people have
is their consistency. They don't undertake
to pick and choose. denouncing here and
praising there. but they throw their whole
force against their country As they view
the matter. the United States lost it's head
last year. and ever since has been plunging
reckiessly from one blunder to another, UNI
I'll it has pulled up in the Philippines as a
criminal assailant of liberty.
The men least disposed to listen to this
sort of talk are, of course, the men who
enlisted and fought the war They are told
in effect, that they fought as fools fight
and that their comrades who fell died as
fools die. Their patriotism is derided, and
they are Siurred in their pride and in all
of their best and highest feelings. Natural
~ that soldier at Calumet lost patience
when his ears We're assailed with such a de-
liverance, and one is inclined to indorse his
position that even the pulpit should not
save it from rebuke
There is a lesson in this for those poll
icians who are piping away in the Rev
Mr.. Hunters key, and. under the pretense
Of sOlicitude for the western volunteers in
the Philippines, hammering the Presi-
dent on the subject of bringing the men
home. Those men will return home in good
time, and when they arrive they will be as
little disposed as was their Michigan COM
rade 10 hear the cause for which they have
so bravely fought. and for which many
gave up their lives, characterized as one of
folly and injustice. Every one of them is
likely to be a witness against the side
which is calling them to the stand.
