The decision OF the Secretary Of the Treas
ury TO allow a larger compensation than usual
IN the architect OF the new Custom House is
expected to result in a lively competition and
encourages the hope that New-York will in no
long time be embellished with a public building
worthy Of the Nation and its chief city. Hitherto
Government architecture has been chiefly con-
spicuous for It's infcriority, some admirable ex-
certions serving to emphasize rather than miti-
gate the general impression Of unfitness. The
larger liberty OF action now allowed to the
Treasury Department will undoubtedly result
in the establishment OF higher average Of
merit and 1t will be a great satisfaction II New
York secures a model Federal building.

LIES NAILED.

The anti-expansion press has been
quick to reprint the scandalous and in
famous stories put forth by the Fill
pinos charging our soldiers in the Phil
ippines with fnhumanity. Really such
yarns ought to be beneath our notice,
since we know our officers and men too
we'll, for moment to entertain q
thought concerning them so reproachful
as that embodied in the charges. How
ever, as Aguinaldo has himself made
them afresh by an appeal to European
Powers, asking them to- protest against
our inhumanity the answer of Professor
Dean C. Worcester Of the Philippine
Commission is timely. He fatty con-
tradicts the charges made. ~
He has been on the ground among the
men Of all commands on the field be-
fore, in and after battle, and among the
wounded and the sick of both sides. Has
quired. and as a result he gives en-
phatic and indignant denial to every
charge made. He says our men do not

war against women and children; they
did not at the bombardment of Mala-
bon shoot women and children; in fact,
Malabon never was bombarded, the
town, was abandoned before our troops
reached it, and only a few Of the
enemy's sharpshooters were on It's edge
hidden in swamp.
From Calaeoon to Malalos Professor
Worcester inspected every battlefield,
and he neither saw nor heard of an
incident Of inhumanfty. On the. con-
trary, he found our surgeons dressing
the wounds Of the enemy before the fir
ing ceased and while bullets Of the
enemy We're flying about them.
In the hospitals the wounded Filipinos
receive the same treatment accorded
our own men. When they are cured they
can be scarcely driven away they are
so we'll fed and treated He adds that
fully 80 per cent Of the F'ilipinos de
test the war, wish it to cease and are
not supporting Aguinaldo. So much for
one batch Of lies.

In one Of his letters to Columbus the
celebrated Florentine physician Paul

the aroused and active commercial

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The American Consul at Liverpool
says, in one of his recent reports, that
Americans are not only now largely
supplying England with first class To-
comotives and with hgh-grade ma
chinery, but We are also sending our
cousins across the sea much material
for their ship building, successfully
competing with English suppliers.
All the important ships now building
in English yards will use more or less
of American steel plate especially i'm
ported for the purpose. The Oceanic,
the largest ship which has ever been
put up in an English yard, will have
the major portion Of her steel plates
from American mills, most OF the in
terror fittings. and all Of the necessary
electrical apparatus, as we'll as all the
saving appliances. It Is conceded
that we can build. as good ships as the
English; we can certainly turn them
out more speedily; we are demon
strating that we can send ship ma
terial abroad In competition with for
eign manufacturers. Yet in the face
of these facts the American marine
is almost the lowest numerically
and in tonnage of any in the world
considering the more important ma
lions. Congress is strangely and un-
accountably dilatory in passing meas
ures intended to upbuild our CONNER
cial marine and to protect and encour-
age the American sailor.
The Republican party has for many
years made the demand for conser-
vations of our marine a cardinal feature
of its faith. And it has accomplished
something, though not what should
have been DONE Yet it is true that it
is the only political agency in the coun-
try that has kept the subject con-
stantly before the public mind. The
approaching session of Congress, it is
believed, will take up the question in
a more vigorous way than has ever
yet been done Certainly there is need
for it. The one reproach of the nation
is that its greatest carrying trade is
done upon foreign bottoms.
