Not to the Point.

II If it were a matter of high i'm
portance, the summary of the
report of the Philippine COM
mission was accorded a large space in
the press Geographic report of yes
terday morning. The report is an
Gent history. the commission itself
ceased long ago to have significance.
Indeed, If the reports received from
military sources at Manila months ago
We're true, this commission was actu-
ally in disrepute with those who have
j had much to do with the management
of Mr.. McKinley's war upon the Fill
ipinos.
1t was part of the current news
of last summer that the commission
whose tardy report is now given out
was proving to be a stumbling block
Tor those who were in charge of Lu-
ION military operations. The presence
Of the commissioners at Manila, it was
said, brought to that city. under truce,
numbers of Filipinos who permitted
themselves to be dined and wined and
talked to and who, without thought of
accepting proffered terms, used the
opportunity thus afforded for the
gathering of information that might
be useful to Aguinaldo. Certain it is
that the commission accomplished alb
soutely nothing in the way of has
tening peace. The commission was the
Invention and device of the president.
Its work attracted attention for
m in ba Of
ences to it were of the jocular sort
that carries contempt.
This superanuated commission is
now placed on exhibition, through the
medium of the press news service, in
order to bolster the Administrations
claim that Aguinaldo never had good
grounds for counting on the friendli-
ness OF the American government.
Whatever the commission may claim,
its assertion on this score is turned
upside down by the black and white
of the printed pages issued by the
government itself, in publication of
the correspondence that is part of
the records in our department of state
at Washington.
Dul, De lhaL as II may, the facts In
regard to this country's attitude to-
ward Aguinaldo, eleven months ago,
are not now the burning question, since
consensus of public opinion was
reached by the American public,
months ago, TO the general effect that
as long as the president had tangled
us in war, the best thing to do was
to let him have it out This public
opinion is subject to radical revision
indeed, a strong disposition to depart
from it is already evinced. 1t formu-
lated itself at the time when, from ad-
ministration sources, the misleading
word constantly reached the public
that the war was in it's final throes,
The known truth has changed all con-
ditions, and public opinion is changing.
So that the profound conclusions of
a commission that was a failure are
not pertinent at this time. More to the
point would be news as to real prog
ress in Philippine campaigning; if in
recent weeks any Roadway has been
made, the country has not been in
formed of it.
