biliZation as would mean war with like
lihood of success. To make use of such
facilities as now exist Is merely to permit
England to see that matters are progress
ing and that Russia has not abandoned her
hope of securing southern outlets to the
sea
Diplomacy moves in devious ways. The
casual appearance of a warship sometimes
puts an exclamation point after a polite
note of request. The concentration of an
army upon the Afghan frontier to test the
railway facilities enables Russia to init
mate to England that there is war
agency in course of development which
may yet modify the British position in
world politics. Just how this bears upon
the Boer war may only be conjectured.
But it cannot be interpreted as an assur-
ance of sympathy with the English pro-
gram. 1t may indeed be notice that Eng
land would profit by a prompt close of the
campaign and that the Beers might on the
contrary profit by proiongation of the
struggle. There are some things which do
not need to be blared abroad in trumpet
tones, or to be inscribed in indelible let
tiers in official correspondence The fact
is that Russia is giving England an OBJ
ject lesson in the art of preparing for war,
which the government at London might
well take to heart and learn. 1t is not

Lieut.. Gillmore's description of the man
ner in which the Filipino insurgents treat
Spaniards VINO fall into their hands is most
suggestive. lie is thus reported:
THE Filipino treatment of the Spaniards
was brutal in the extreme. The insurgents
had old grudges to wipe out against them
Many talk about the reconcentradoS In
CUBA but [ have seen SpaniardS dying at
the rate of two or three per day of starva-
ton in the hospitals at Vigan, l have seen
TagaloS officers strike Spaniards in the
face with whips and revolvers.
Suppose when the Spanish power in the
Philippines had been crushed the American
forces had withdrawn. leaving Aguinaldo's
governmo mt in control. The imagination
fails in the attempt to conceive the full
consequences. in the light of this revelation
of race hatred. Readers of French history
have but to recall the scenes of the revolu-
ton century ago to find probable paral-
lei. The Reign of Terror might easily have
been reproduced in I.uZon. with all its
awful consequences. Years, decades. of OPP
preston and cruelty have left deep scars.

islands even more ahjectly the subjects of

hatred when there is no restraint upon the
public authority. Confiscation, imprson-
ment, torture. execution, outrage. all tempt
the malice and enmity of the victor I'M
guided by deep sense of responsibility.
What these insurgents have done in the
campaign to the Spaniarads whom they
have imprisoned suggests what would have
been done on a large scale had the Tagal
republic been recognized. Could the world
have forgiven the United States for per-
hitting such d horror? Could the Ameri-
can conscience ever have justified it? 1t
does not suffice to claim that such would
have been righteous retribuglon. Civiliza-
ton is not built upon revenge. Punishment
is applied only in the hope of lettering hui
mainly. The cruelty of hate destroys rath-
er than aids culture. Had the United
States withdrawn in favor of these natives
the spectacle would have remained for all
time to come as a contribution by d
humane" power to one Of the most dread
ful disasters in all history.
There is a good deal Of speciousness in
the demand of the anti-imperialist that the
United States should withdraw after a
time. What guarantee is there that these
violent race hatreds will die out in five
years, or ten, or twenty? Good govern
ment can never be expected from the ma
tive Filipinos until they learn the lesson of
forgiveness and obedience to humane laws.

safe limit to an American protectorate

damaging property. But the parallel ceases
at this point. The present case is that of
refined, educated white man. whereas the
other gutter was an ignorant, depraved
negro. Congratulations are in order now
that there is no further doubt in the case.
The community is rid of a menace from
which 1t has shrunk during the past six
months. The cutting was so stealthily done
and in such places that detection and pre-
vention were SO difficult, that women had
become fearful to venture forth upon the
streets BY a lucky accident, due to the
sudden recklessness of the cutter doubt
less emboldened by long immunity. the
cutting of dress was discovered in a
street car. where the chances for Identify
ing the miscreant were greatest. But it is
probable that even with man in custody
or under surveillance whom the police be-
heved to be guilty he would not have been
punished or proved guilty had not the pc
culiar chain of circumstances revealing his
deplorable trait been disclosed through the
casual memorandum of New Jersey read
er of The Star. With the fact established
that the same man had been arrested sue
cessively in New York. Philadelphia and
Washington for virtually similar offenses
suspicion became practical certainty and
confession was inevitable. The police are
to be thanked for their diligent work, and
the victim of the dress whose cutting
caused Krebs' detection should be CRATE
fully remembered for her prompt action
The whole affair illustrates the value of
publicity in such matters by making every
citizen an ally of the police. 1t becomes a
serious question what should be done with
the unfortunate young man whose propen-
sites have caused all this trouble That he
