The Mexico Ledger's Idea.

Every paper in the country that has
noticed the RevielO's "Thirteen Years
Ago. column has dug up an old file
and followed suit. The Chilhowee
Nesrs, that is now in its third year,
don't propose to be left that way, so
It has 3 zone Year Ago" and a 1.-TWO
Years Ago" column that is interesting
for it's brevity. The idea is not origi-
nal with the RevietO, but is borrowed
from Bob Whites Mexico LEDGER,
who has been running a Twenty
Years Ago" column 10 these hundred

reassert authority in the interests of peace
for the island. And that 1t might hope to
do without provoking any foreign protest
or complications.
In the case of the Philippines there are
no specific obligations on the part of this
government. When we went there the peo-
pie were not engaged in a war for indepen-
dence. They had been so engaged, and
with every cause, but their leaders for a
money consideration had abandoned the
struggle. Aguinaldo. with the price of his
surrender in his pocket, had left the coun-
try. and was taking his ease at Hong Kong
and elsewhere. If Dewey had not gone to
Manila there would probably be no insur-
gent cause today in the Philippines. Agui-
naldo went back on the deck of an Ameri-
can vessel, and owes whatever power he
now possesses to American encouragement
and assistance. He cannot antagonize the
Americans except at the expense of honor
and common gratitude.
If the United States were prematurely to
abandon its authority in the Philippines
and independent government then should
fall the effect might be an explosion that
would shake the world. All the great pow
ers have interests of great Importance in
that neighborhood and all would be affected
by anarchy In those islands. And the
United States could not hope to reappear,
as in similar circumstances in Cuba, and
reassert authority which it had unwisely
surrendered.
Every conSideration-duty to itself to the
FiiDinos, and to the outside world-de-
mands that the United States at this time
shall control the Philippine archipelago.

The attempt of the Russian government
to raise loan in the United States accord
ing to our Washington correspondent, ap-
pears to haze been successful. The sum is
f1S.0OO00O, the rate is 49, per cent and the
price of issue Is something between 92 and
81. a compromise having yet to be ar
ranged. The Russian government is to be
congratulated on raising the money of
which Is stands in such urgent need and
the American capitalists no doubt think
they have got very good terms for an in
vestment of their spare capital. We pre-
sumo, however. that they realize that Rus
STA, even with the personal and vigorous
efforts of NJ. de White, has failed to raise
any more money in Europe. London, Ber-
lin, Paris and Amsterdam have alike been
approached. ard have alike proved coy.
Yet such firms as the Rothschilds the
Bleichroders, Messrs. Wernher, Belt & Co.
and a few other people with sixpences In
their old teapots, would not be unable or
unwilling to lend cash on good security at
fair interest. The American capitalists
have, at any rate, the courage of their
financial opinions. If they think they know
the European situation and its possible de-
velopments better than the capitalists of
the old world.

Colonel Warnings RepOrt.

The report of the late Colonel Warning of
New York on the sanitary condition Of Ha-
vana is most astounding revelation. 1t
fixes attention beyond anything we have
yet had about Cuba. That the Spanish gov
eminent in the island was rotten to the
core has long been known, but that the
people of the principal city were living
under that rule in the forbidding conditions
as to health now described would be ques-
toned unless supported by unimpeachable
authority But the narrative has such
authority behind it. Colonel Warnings in
spection was most thorough-so thorough
that it cost him his life. His words there
fore, are sealed to us with the sacredness
of the grave.
And II there Is no room to question the
truth of the story. there is quite as little to
dispute the conclusion reached. Colonel
Warning says that the matter must bs at
tended to at once, or the consequences are
likely to be appalling. That follows, I'M
doubleday. Peace and good government are
our aim in Cuba. but they cannot flourish
in pest hole. 1t is highly important that
the courts shall be above brides, the custom
houses honestly administered, the order of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-01-09

the island promoted by keeping under the
bull-f1ghters, the cock-fghters, and the
smooth and fluent gentry who are seek
ing to rehabilitate the scoundrelism of the
lottery. But what will all this profit the
people unless they are guaranteed physical
health? Why erect structure of such pro-
portions, and designed to endure, above a
cesspool?
The cost of the work recommended by
Colonel Waring is placed at high figure,
and only the city of Havana is considered.
Undoubtedly the other cities in the island
as urgently need expenditures for santa
ton. But that something should be done,
and as much possible, stands to reason.
If Cuba should vote for annexation, We
shall simply have improved our own prop
erty. If Cuba becomes an independent gov
eminent, the investment will, of course,
stand as a charge for betterments agains t
the island in the day of the transfer of
authority.

An Argument for Prompt Ratification

a strong argument in favor of the i'm
mediate ratification of the peace treaty
appears in todays news dispatches from
London. 1t IS wired that the Filipino COM
mittee in that city has cabled President
Mckinley as follows:
Treaty of peace still unratified. Amer
lean claim of sovereignty premature. Pray
reconsider resolution regarding Iloilo Fill
ipinOs wish for the friendship of America
and abhor militarism and deceit"
Thus it is to be seen that the Filipino
agitators on the continent are drawing
capital out of the fact that the treaty has
yet to be ratified by the legislatures of the
two countries. Thus far there has been
no delay whatever. The treaty was re-
ceiyed here after the houses had adjourned
Tor the holidays and was delivered on the
first day of the session after the first of
the year. 1t is doubtless being pressed
with all possible haste commensurate with
the Importance of the subject But this
London dispatch shows that the Filipjnos
will shfewdly insist upon their contention
until Congress has deprived them of the
right to quote the unratified state of the
treaty as basis for their obstructive at
ttude. AS a matter of fact their claim
is a bubble and has no weight But it
Will materially simplify matters connected
with the readjustment of affairs in the
Philippine Islands if the treaty should be
ratined at once. Delay means difficulty
and embarrassment for the government
effort to bring the archipelago to a peace
full basis without bloodshed

Croker and Sulzer.

William Sulzer evidently failed to pre-
serve communication between himself and
his chief he wendell his way westward
last week on a speechmaking jaunt. Had
he provided the proper methods for the
quick transmission of intelligence he might
today have been in a happier frame of
mind. MIR. Sulzer owes his present position
as one of the nations statesmen to the
favor and foresight of Richard Croker. In
1870 that discriminating politician picked
him out of the ruck of Tammany's follow
ers to become an assemblyman. He then.
after watching the young mans course for
three years. permitted him to be elected
Speaker of the assembly. The next year he
slated Mr. SulZer for Congress in sure
city district. Mr.. SulZer was obedient and
was allowed to run again in 1896 and was
likewise permitted to stand for reelection
in 1S'S Throughout all this course of pub
lie service Mr.. Suffers recognition of the
great chiefs will has been his mark of con-
tnuing favor and even within a few DAYS
II has been stated that Mr.. Croker has
limited that if things should go smoothly
Mr. Sulzer would be given the Tammany
support Tor the democratic leadership in
the next House.
Mr.. Croker appeared in Saturday morn
ing's New York prints in d denunciation of
the free silver dogma. Saturday night Mr.
Sulzer appeared before d gathering of the
Omaha democrats and made a speech in
commemoration Of jackson day 1t is i'm
poTtant to know now whether Mr.. SuIzer
thinks he can stand alone, without Mr.
Cookers further patronage, or was at the
time in ignorance of the newly expressed
doctrines of his chief. His words on the
occasion of the jackson day gathering are
significant of a frame of mind which means
either bold defiance or d misunderstanding.
After patronizingly telling his hearers that
NJ hikes the democrats OF the great west.
Mr.. Sulzer went on:
stand squarely on the Chicago Mat
form. and as democrat tried and true TO
every tenet OF our party and to Its funda-
LLeitidi principles l come 10 you from the
teenins, toiiing, throbbing, earnest demo-
Gratis OF the east and bring you their fra
terndl greeting and their message of hone
Tor union and harmony in our ranks and
Tor the triumphant victory of our grand old
party IN the years to come"
Mr. Croker, one of the "teeming TOLL
ing, throbbing. earnest democrats of the
east. make may have some amendments
10 oi1er 10 these sentiments. He has been
known in times past to discipline congress
men Tor less bold differences of opinion. 1t
may De that Mr.. Sulzer having carried his
district for another two-year term thinks
ne can get along without Mr. Croker If
SO, Ike his chief, he has large CONTRACT
on his hands.
