for the reason that no other could taKe 'neir
withou. danger of European war. Moreover
what earthly right had we to take property IRON
one nation and arbitrarily hand II over 10 an
other? Those who say we should have done Sc
are the very ones who say we nave no rlgn'
10 keep the Philippines and 10 impose our SOY
erciCnty upon them against their will. Bu'
would we have had any better right TO transfer
them to some one else and To force them "a
accept the sovereignty of another? Let us NJ
least talk sense.
The third course was to leave them to their
own devices. We were restrained from that 10y
the facts that the Filipnos had no organized
government Of their own. not even as much as
the Cuban insurgents had. and that they were
by the common consent Of all who knew them
Incapable of forming one that would serve the
required purpose. Let that be kept In mind
Before Dewey went TO Manila there was not
even n pretence at a Filipino Government
The instruction had been crushed. The insur'
gent army had vanished. The rebel chief who
now poses as president had sold out to the
Spanish and quilted the country II was only
after that loud Sabbath" and because OF Its
mighty deed. that Mr.. Aguinaldos tassel and
walking-stick republic" came into being. And
so that course was seen TO be impossible and
by the process OF elimination we came TO the
fourth and last, and only one compatible with
reason and right, namely. that we accept the
result of our act and assume for ourselves the
responsibility of sovereignty In the Philippines.
But it is against the will OF the Filipinos
lndeedf If so. those interesting people are mt
least 10 worse off than before They have
merely got n good government against their
will in place Of bad government against their
will. n change meaning some gain TO them,
surely. But who says our sovereignty Is against
their Will? Has any plebisctum been taken
And was it confined to Luzon. or did ii include
Tawi-Taw and Dinagat and Katanduanes! We
cannot concede the validity of any vote
which did not include the Twenty-irst Arron-
basement Of Siquijor But Mr. Aguinaldo says
So" Conclusive, truly. Does he carry the suf-
frages of these eight million intelligent and
Independent patriots in his waistcoat pocket:
What is his title TO speak for them? Is it to
be found in his betrayal OF their cause for
Spanish gold. and his subsequent betrayal OF
the Spanlards who had bought him? las easy
as lying" said Hamlet. 1t is easy TO say these
things about the inquity Of forcing our SOW
eregnty upon people who do not want IT, But
the cold fact Is that there is no indication that
our sovereignty is distasteful. save 10 few
wandering bands of marauders and brigands
whose chief occupation is TO hold prisoners for
ransom; while n far greater number of far more
respectable people do Enthusiastically desire
American sovereignty. That, and exactly that,
Is the Philippine case as 1t stands to-day.

AS TO THE PHILIPPINES.

"As easy as lying" said Hamlet rightly con-
cevlng misrepresentation TO be a process OF
typical facility. But ii Is as futile as II Is
facile One may pour Walls Of wrath upon
this Nation for-as he may say-setting out
to liberate the Philippines and then forcing It's
own rule upon them at the lannon's mouth;
for going to war for the sake Of the Filipinos
and then turning upon them with machine guns
because they ask it to respect their indepell-
dence All this, say, Is easy, and 1t seems
nightly effective SO does Harlequins sword
seem a prodigiously effective weapon until you
discover II TO be a bit OF painted lath Let us
see what this representation Of the Philippine
case amounts TO in the light OF simple truth.
First our object We did not 90 to war TO
estab lish the independence of the Philippines,
or TO give them liberty, or for the sake OF the
FIlipinos or any such thing. In the messages
Of the President and the acts of Congress which
led TO Intervention In Spanish affairs and pro
voked Spain 10 declare war against us, there
was not one word about the Philippines. Tie
controversy was over Cuba. and nothing else.
Americans knew that Spain had been Cypress
ing the Filipinos and that the latter had re-
yolted and had been crushed into subsection
again; but they did not conceive 1t TO be their
duty to intervene In such matters at the antip0-
des any more than in the case of Armenia. or
bulgaria. or the Transvaal. But when inter
yention in Cuba led to a declaration of war by
Spain 1t became the obvious duty Of this Nation
TO strike down Spanish power wherever it could.
That is the fundamental rule Of war. And when
II was known that Spain had a war feet nj
Manila, with which she would destroy our Pa
cinc commerce and attack our Pacific Coast
cities common-sense required that we should
send feet thitbcr to capture or destroy IT, And
that was done.
But what then? In destroying Montojo's
feet we had protected our own Pacific inter
ests, and we had done something more. We
ippines. That sovereignty had rested exclu-
sively upon power, and with the destruc-
ton Of the latter the former disappeared. SO,
without our desire or seeking, there instantly
devolved upon us the obligation of establishing
some acceptable sovereignty in the place of
that which we had overthrow. For even an
ancient nursery rhyme reminds us that IF you
couldn't make IT, you shouldn't break it," But
We had, through necessity. broken IT: therefore
we had 10 make #, or remake IT, How? Wen
there was one fundamental principle to be OBJ
served. that the new sovereignty should be nj
least rs good as the old. SO that we might
leave the islands ms well Off as we found them.
And there were four courses to be considered
One was to hand them back to Spain Bnt
that would have been unreasonable, since we
were then at war with Spain; and impossible,
because We had deprived Spain Of all power to
exercise sovereignty over them. Another course
was to hand them over 10 some other nation.
But there was no nation willing to take them.

TNWARRANTED CRITICISMS.

Bishop Nicholas, who has had charge OF the
RussoG Church in North America does
not appear TO think highly of our public school
system. In his farewell address, delivered in
this city OH Monday, he declared that most Of
the children who attend the public schools
"come out of them not only without the fear
"of God. but without the ordinary sense Of
shame" This Is simply untrue. and IL is high
~ discreditabe to Bishop Nicholas that he
should utter such n Islander when he could so
easily learn the truth. The American public
schools are by no means perfect, but with all
their faults they make for intelligence. moral
ity and civilization. and il would be an meal
culable gain to Russia If she had a similar sys-
TEN Of popular education. There is no State
Church in this country and the Government
does not prosecute men on account Of their be
Nefs: but we venture the assertion that there
is as much respect for genuine religion in the
United States as there is in Russia The charge
that the public schools destroy in most of their
pupils "the ordinary sense Of shame" Is too
absurd for serious discussion. 1t IS n great
pity that the Bishop permitted himself TO In
still such prejudice against the public schools
into the minds OF Russian Americans. Had he
exhorted them to send their children 10 the
making them intelligent American citizens, he
would have been acting more in the line OF his
duty.
The letter which the Bishop has addressed
to President Mckinley in regard to alleged
abuses of administration in Alaska Is even
more open TO criticism His principal griev-
ance seems TO be against the Rev Dr. Sheldon
Jackson whom he refers 10 contemptuOusy
as that man" DR.. Jackson's great offence APP
parently is that for years he has been Chris
tan missionary in Alaska, and, being Pres
byteran. he has, OF course, failed to recognize
the Russo-Greck Church as 1.-THE only true
faith" As an American citizen. he has exer-
clsed in Alaska his right 10 freedom of opn
ion and the work which he has done in that
possession, not only as Christian mission
ary but as n cvzer. meets the approval OF
the American people. The way is entirely open
TO the RussoGreek Church TO do the same
work. and If it should II would be similarly
commended Somebody should remind the good
Bishop that Alaska is American soil, and that
under the stars and Stripes all religious bodies
stand on exactly the same footing

THE MAYOR AND THE SCHOOLS.

II will be observed with interest by citizens
who keep track Of such matters that Mayor
Van Wyck has written letter on the need and
duty Of providing sufficient school accommoda-
tons for all the children of New York, and has
sent COPY to every School Commissioner The
Mayor invites attention TO the fact that the
Board of Estimate and Apportonment has
agreed to an issue of bonds 10 the amount of
81 1900 for school sites and buildings. and
PROMISES that the money will be furnished dur
ing the present year on proper requislon. lie
concludes, therefore. that there is no good rea-
son why at the beginning OF the next school
year there should not be a seat ready for every
child entitled TO one and he properly adds that
If for lack Of energy that condition of things
should not be attained those charged with the
administration of school affairs would be held
responsible
The Mayor has written a sensible letter on
an important subject, and we hope he means
to live up to it. Tammany has always shame
fully neglected or mismanaged the business of
public school education, and every sign of re-
FORM TO whatever motive 1t may be attribute

four years ago Tammany left an enormous de
ficiency of school accommodations and left

which had to assume the heavy burden, dld
much to improve the situation. and It's wise
management would have produced still more
beneficial results II Tammany on returning to
office had not interfered Mayor Van Wyck lost
no time In slgnifying his hostility to a Board of
Education which he could not control. ana
whose composition he could not Immediately

ed few opportunities to decry and embarrass
the men who have been faithfully and intelll-
gently endeavoring 10 raise the educational
standard and enlarge the educational equip
ment. He now expects TO have ere long a Board
of Education reconstructed In accordance with
his own ideas. and as he sees that time ap-
preaching his disposition with respect to educa-
tional operations grows more hospitable Here
after the cooperation rather than the antae-
onism of the municipal government may reason
ably be anticipated
II Is impossible to look forward without solicit
tude to a Tammany administration of the
schools but In the particular matter of new
school buildings 1t is probable that the new
year will witness considerable progress and in
that the community can afford to rejoice, with
ont forgetting how greatly Tammany Is to
blame for past ana present conditions. LIE
organ cation has been confronted during the
last year with disturbing evidence Of the indig-
nation with which many thousands of parents
and voters have contemplated the lack of school
accommodations and the policy Of supplying
that deficiency and stopping that ccnsure ap-
pears TO have been officially adopted. 1t IS a
policy which ought to be supported, however
inspired. and we hope the Mayors admontions
TO the School Commissioners are sincere and
will be needed.

Patience is the one virtue which is needed in
dealing with saich new and grave responsible
ties. and it is often the hardest Of all virtues
for active and earnest Congressman To exer-
else. But the country has trusted its President
through all the past year OF trial and uncertain
ty and has found the best reason for continuing
that trust. He has guided events with such
ability and prudence and In such an honorable
spirit as to command the warm approval of this
Nation and of the unprcjudccd observers Of
other lands as'well. 1t Is impossible at this
juncture even TO propose any step without en-
dangering the success Of his efforts. and the
country knows him well enough to be sure that
he will gladly call upon Congress to take up It's
full share Of responsibility as soon as the stu
alton Is such that it can act with knowledge
and with safety. Unless appearances greatly
mslead, 1t will takemore than the few months
of the present session completely TO establish
peace and order under the military authority
of the United States throughout the new pos
sessions, and II so patience will be the one
thing necessary throughout this session.
