Wait for the Wagon.

There are several reasons, all of which
appear to be good. why the present Con-
gress should not undertake to deal with the
question of the Philippines.
"a Less than month of life remains to
the body, and every legislative day should
be given to the appropriation bills These
are measures which cannot wait. More
over, there was no Philippine question in
existence when this Congress was chosen
and it does rot represent the country dis
tinctly on any of the matters growing out
of the war with Spain. The Congress
elected in November last does. The mem
bers of that body were chosen after cam
paign in which the conduct and conse-
quences of the war had very largely en-
tered. The next Congress. therefore, is
properly the one to deal with the subject.
(2) Why should anything be said of a
pacific nature while the Filipinos are in
arms against US? Those familiar with the
oriental character tell us that anything of
the kind would be certain of construc ton
injurious to us. The Filipiuos would gather
the impression that We are afraid of them,
and would increase instead of abate their
pugnacious enterprise. Now that we have
clGshed with them in battle, the only safety
for us lies in keeping up a determined and
an uHcONlprOHlSlnS llne OF action Qntn tney
sue for peace and make submission to our
authority. No explanations or effusive pro-
fessions of friendship while they keep the
field.
CD There is not sufficient information at
hand now to enable Congress to deliver it.
self to the best advantage. Why say simply
that the Uri States is not tyrant, and
does not mediate the bloody persecution of
the Fiiipinos? Why say anything on the
subject of the archipelago until we know
the exact situation and can determine what
is best for it and best for US? The Presi-
dent is sending a special commission to the
scene to investigate and report to him.
Why should not Congress adopt his plan,
and, selecting a special committee of mem
hers who will also sit in the next Congress-
take steps to have its successor informed
on the subject?
There need be no great haste A false
step now might cost us untold trouble. Go
slow

The House Provides n Library Site.

The action of the House of Representa-
tives today in passing, in committee of the
whole. the bill providing a site for the free
public library, places that project upon a
satisfactory basis. 1t is to be anticipated
that the House itself will ratify the action
of its committee Of the who'll and finally
send the bill to the Senate with it's nro-
vision setting apart Mount Vernon Square
for this purpose. 1t will then be in order
to look for prompt action by the Senate.
If that body should not find itself of a
mind to adopt the House bill. for which
there is Il very general public demand in
view of the urgency of the matter. it
ought pass in substitution some proposition
OF its own and SO send the matter to con-
ference. thera to be adjusted into final
shape for action at this session of Con-
Gress. Mr.. Carnegies gift must he utilized.
y site must be provided for the building.
The House now says, through its great
committee. which is virtually the House
Itself, that the library should be placed
upon Mount Vernon Square. Let the Sem
ate act promptly.

\ Great Mans Smile.

Mr.. Cleveland is reported from Princeton
as smiling broadly over the news from Ma
nila. He could not repress an exhibition of
tween the Americans and the FiIipinos
His first and only thought was of Il pre-
diction he had made that something of
that kind was likely to occur. Advised
thus that his prediction had been fulfilled
the spirit of exultation took possession of
him and he shook hands warmly with him

ber of the slain, or how the sacrifice stood

He probably did not care. All dead SOL
diers look alike to Mr.. Cleveland He sim
ply smiled, and turned away. Happy man
Unerring prophet!
But Mr.. Cleveland had another right TO
smile. He had not only prophesied but had
helped to bring about the fulfiiment of his
prophecy. He had added his weight-the
weight of his voice--to the impeachment of
the country's integrity. He had helped 10
hold up the peace treaty while AguinaIdo
strengthened the Filipino position around
Manila. He had helped to tie the hands of
Dewey and Otis and keep them for five
weeks inactive in the presence of u busy
and treacherous foe. And here was his re-
ward. Naturally. he smiled. 1T accorded
with the man and his purposes.
Turning from the pleasing intelligence of
the battle. Mr.. Cleveland submitted him.

and patriotic OF heart, were prompt through
their legislature in expressing their salts
faction at the ratification of the peace
treaty. \ telegram Of congratulation was
sent 10 the President and the course of
Senator Frye heartily inGorsed. The silence
with respect to Mr.. Hdie's course was more
eloquent in the way of condemnation than
any formal expression could have been He
was treated like a man who was not-like
a man who was dead.
Mr.. Frye. who in other matters has de-
served 50 Well of his own people and of
the country generally, has in this matter
earned an especial need of praise. He
neither sought nor desired assignment to

convenient for him to leave home. But he
did not hesitate when the matter was pre-
St'nted to him i'll the light of a public DUTY

hung on the wall of the colonefs study
But is the public not entitled to a sight of
the weil-known face lighted up by pleas
ure so unusual? The artist will have caught
the prophet in the hour of triumph. He
will have transferred to canvas the proud
expression of Il told you So" 1t would be
unreasonable to expect Colonel Lamont to
consent to a tour for the picture. But it
ought to be copied and put upon the bio
graph or some other stout reflector. The
people ought to be allowed to see the smil-
ing effect produced on a man whom they
have twice called to the presidency by the
intelligence that American soldiers carry
ing the stars and stripes have been killed
in battle with oriental savages.
