OUR ARMY IN LUZON.

We are glad to be able to renew our COM
pliments to THE New-York Evening Post upon
the admirable work Of its correspondent In
Luzon His letters hitherto, from which we
have made quotations. have shown In the clear
est possible light the irresponsible character OF
the so-called government" Of Aguinaldo, the
inability Of the Tagals, and, indeed, all the Fill
pinos to conduct decent government OF their
own, and the assassin-like manners and in
stincts Of Aguinaldo's followers. The CORE
spondents latest letter, published In THE
Evening Post of yesterday, is devoted to The
acts and character Of our own troops. and Is
no less interesting and significant than its
predecessors.
The correspondent tells us that the Amert-
can soldiers out there growl and grumbe a
good deal when they are inactive, but are al
ways suited and contented when the word 10
advance or TO fight is given. Does not that In
dictate the enormity Of the crime the Govern
ment is committing in keeping the poor fellows
there against their will and in forcing them
to fight campaign In which they have no heart
and which is repugnant to them? We should

DEUORALTZTNG A CITY.

The truth OF the Apostolic saying that evil
communications corrupt good manners was
never more strlkingly shown than in the case
Of the use Of soft coal in this city, and espe-
cially in the Borough of Brooklyn. At the be-
ginning the law was broken surrepttiously. or
under cover Of denial and that by concerns
which in other matters had long shown them
selves TO he ready to evade the requirements
Of the statutes and to infringe upon the rights
of the public whenever they could do so with
n fair promise Of impunity and with prospect
Of thereby gaining few extra dollars But as
time went on, and these were permitted to pur-
sue their detestable course unpublished and un-
checked, other and more respectable concerns
began to follow their example. and 10 do so
more and more openly, until now men and cor
porations of the highest standing are violating
the law without the slightest pretence at con-
cealment or excuse.
There Is. ms we have frequently taken occa-
sion to say, no similar corporation In Brooklyn
or In the whole city managed with more re-
gard for the public welfare than the great con-
Germ which now controls nearly all the local
transit lines in that borough, and no head Of
such a corporation who seems more animated
by consciousness OF his duties to the public
than It's president. Yet one Of the power houses
under It's control has again and again been
reported as grievously violating the law against
soft coal and black smoke. There Is a fine
clubhouse near the main entrance to Prospect
Park, owned and controlled by corporation
of the best citizens Of Brooklyn, men interest
ed In all that concerns the welfare OF that Dor
ough: and on Sunday last hideous and malo.
dorous cloud Of black smoke was pouring from
of It's cllmnpys. Would there eallv
be any cause for surprise II tomorrow the
Deputy Health Commissioner for Brooklyn him
self should start big furnace with soft coal
for fuel and send out another cloud OF black
smoke to join those which now exist. and which
the said Commissioner processes to be unable
10 see?
The fact is persistent neglect or refusal Of
the officers Of the law to enforce the law Ia

THE BEEF REPORT.

The report Of the court of inquiry into Cen
eral Miles's charges about the Army beef sur
prises nobody. Its tenor was we'll understood
many days ago, and the publication OF its text
but confirms the various opinions formed on
the strength of forecasts 1t cannot be said 10
change any opinions. Those who believed that
the War Department and especially the COM
missary bureau, were nexcusaby mismanaged
will continue to think so, and find in the report
much evidence TO support their belief. Those. on
the other hand, who are convinced that there
was nothing in the charges and that the Sec
rotary of War and the officers of the staff
bureaus were marvels of administrative ability
will point to various findings in the report for
their justification. and urge that the only mis-
take this court could discover was the pur-
chase of an excessive amount OF the canned
beef So everybody will persist In the view he
has taken, for the report furnishes the raw
material for almost any kind Of conclusion on
various phases Of the difference between Gen
eral Miles and the Department, including some
conclusions far different from those indicated
by the court itself.
This is in many ways unfortunate. 1t may
perhaps be thought impossible that an ex-
tended report on such a complicated state OF
tactS SnOufQ not OHer the opportunity lot just
such differences and discussions. But we think
In this case the difficulty is rather with the
manner in which the subject is treated than
with the inherent obstacles great as they are,
70 carrying conviction. The report goes either
too far or not far enough both in It's criticisms
and commentators. Not that the court should
have brought la a wholesale verdict on one
side or the other. II was indeed its duty TO
discriminate, 10 say II II found one person
wrong at one point and somebody else wrong at
another. But when the court finds colossal
errors In various quarters while reporting that
everything in general is all right and that no
body ought 10 be punished for anything. II sub
1ects itself inevitably TO the charge that 1t has
not the courage of It's own convictions. Ii says
General Eagan made colossal error for
which there Is no .'palliation." in buying nearly
seven million pounds Of canned beef. 1t crit
icises General Miles for failure to do his duty
and promptly report defects In the supplies.
Why, II will be asked, II these officers are so
blameworthy, is II recommended that nothing
be done about IT? And from various quarters
the cry 10 likely TO go up that the court saw II
had an uncomfortable subject TO deal with, and
wes anxious to shelve 1t By the most moderate
