The expectation was that Mr.. Hoar. by

discussion of the Philippine question The

TngnI Trust and Treachery.

Senator Beveridges suggestion, in the
course of his speech yesterday, as to the
danger of treating with the Philippine ma
tives in arms until they have been brought
TO state of submission to American au-
thority are based clearly upon well estab-
lished facts. These Tagals have for gene
rations been accustomed to broken prom
ises, to violated agreements. false compacts
and the like, during their dealings with
their Spanish rulers. They have good
grounds for looking upon the word of a
governor or military commander as mere
iy blind to secure an advantage. They
have themselves learned we'll the lesson of
treachery. A false standard of respon-
sihility and honor has been bred into
their natures by these sad experiences,
until they stand between two possibilities
they must be either regenerated through
association with Americans and their prin-
ciples; they must be left alone to work
out their own salvation.
To leave them alone is virtually to put
one tribe in charge, amidst maze of
tribal jealousies and hatreds. Recent re-
ports from the campaign in northern Luz
zon fully showed the antagonism between
these factions of the people when large
bodies of natives met the American troops
eager to give help that Aguinaldo and his
associates might be captured. To place
this band of men at the head of affairs
would be TO give them all the power for
evil which the Spaniards once possessed.
1t does not suffice to quote from the ad-
mirably written constitution of the Tagal
republic, or from the high sounding phrases
of Buencamentos addresses or Aguinaido' $
proclamations. The plain result of Fill
irino republic. working along entirely in
dependent lines would be constant civil
strife, with The gradual evolution of mill
tary oligarchy only one step removed, il
at all, from absolutism.
The reason is clear. Generations of
broken promises have made the natives
suspicious of the men in power. Force is
what they chiefly respect and acknowledge
Government by concrete example means
more to them than government by assur-
ance. With tribes at Issue. with the lesson
of governmental falsity indelibly impressed

upon the native mind, there would be little
or no cause to make the Filipino not of the
Tagal elect respect the acts or laws of the
administration. Suspicion would soon
breed revolt, which in turn would necessi-
tate stronger hand at headquarters
leading to succession of steps toward
monarchy.
Far better for the Filipino is it that the
power at Manila should be vested in a
government capable of enforcing it's de-
crees and of keeping its promises, than in
the coterie which has assumed the name
of the people and can furnish no guaran-
tee of peace or fidelity. To treat with such
people, while they lack the essential ele-
ments of conscience and reliability and
good faith, Is to waste time and perhaps
lives 1t is the height of kindness now, in
the present state of affairs, to proceed
without further negotiations, sure in the
knowledge that the American motives are
wholesome and the American methods JUS
utable.

can the city be expected to hold true to

are deprived of their pitiful pay in order
that the extravagant salaries of sinecure-

The Proposed River Pollution Inquir,

Ii seems assured that the House commit
tee on interstate commerce will report IA
vorably the bill providing for a commits
sion to inquire into river pollution, and such
a report is expected 10 lead to the passage
OF the measure. A similar bill is pending
in the Senate. aud there is a prospect,
therefore of such enactment at this
session, 4 most desirable contamination.
The measure only proposes to make inquiry
into the subject, such as should long ago
have been instituted by the general gov
ernment. which alone has effective jurisdic-
ton. Most large streams capable of seri-
Gus pollution flow through more than one
state and the evils which result from the
fouling of the waters affect often half a
dozen commemorative. Hence no state au-
thority can reach the case. What is need
ed at present is a general overhaung of
this whole subject of sewage disposal, to
prevent the growth of conditions which.
even in tFeir slight evidences now, are for
bidding II is time the broad principle
should be laid down that there are better
means for a city to dispose of its sewage
than by emptying it into an open stream,
the waters of which may be taken below
for drinking purposes. Even here in WASH
ington, which does not affect any commu-
nity in this respect, there being no city on
the lower Potomac dependent upon that
river for its supply. there is very serious
objection on general sanitary grounds TO
the practice of river disposal. The advances
of modern science permit much more
Cleanly. decent and safe process of treat
ment. often economical even in the light of
the large installation cost. At times there
has been a disposition at this capital to
press the propriety OF establishing model
sewage disposal plant, not only to solve
the local problem in approved fashion, but
to set an example for other large cities
which might ultimately effect a general
form. Such enterprises are usually inspired
by selfish interests rather than desire to
benefit the community al large. yet the gov
eminent might properly supply a new In
centive by taking a survey of the field and
pointing out the real conditions and actual
dangers
Washirgton's interest in these bills
springs from the fact that certain amount
OF river pollution is going at and near
Cumberland. 1t is not believed that at
present the refuse and chemicals thrown
into the stream actually affect the local
health. for 1t is known that the river Is
pable of self publication in its flow to this
city. At the same time it is felt that now
is the proper season for inquiry to deter
mine whether these evils are growing, and
whether they now or prospectiyely menace
the health of the District. 1t is a plain
case of the stitch in time which may save
many mines in the years to come.

Wash. Cor. New York Tribune.
If anything was really left of that once
potent tradition of the Senate that a new
member should for year at least be seen
and not heard. it was completely demol-
ished today when Mr.. Beveridge of Indiana
delivered speech on American policy in
the Philippines Mr.. Beveridge has been
unjustly and injurously clasSed as one of
the boy orators of western politics. but
his style and manner betray none of the
noise, fury and emptiness couventionally
associated with boy orators on or off the
political stage, and his success as a speaker
was testified to by the size and attention of
the audience both on the floor and in the
galleries, which listened with evident APP
probation to his remarks.

The anti-imperialist view of Senator Bev-
erfdge at the present moment is amusing.
The young Indiana senator last week in
troduced a Philippine resolution agrees
sively supporting the administration policy
and 10! the anti-imperial venom is poured
upon his offending head. The hard-and-
fast professionals are now found insisting
that 1t matters little. after all, what con-
ditions he may have found in the Philip
pines, since he took with him the firm
conviction that making corpses or serfs
of inferior races and Selling their possess
sions is power and the only true glory
Now. had Senator Beveridge introduced a
resolution of quite another sort these same
anti-imperialists would have pointed with
pride to the youthful Demosthenes, and
have contended royalty that here was a
man of exalted mental equipment, who, be-
ing inclined toward Imperialism, had dis
covered the error of his views by personal
observation and diligent study on the scene.

Sound Money and the South.
From the ST. Louis Star.

If the building of the Nicaragua canal
and the taking care of our new possessions
will help the children of the south, is it
not possible that the establishment of the
monetery system of the country upon
solid and uniform basis will also accom-
plish much in that line? Many strong men
of that section are beginning to look at the
matter in that light, and it is possible that
they will insist that the next democratic
platform shall be sound money. and In the
event of a denial. will either winter their
votes or cast them for William Mckinley
