We do not yet know the exact terms OF
the letter addressed to the Count Won Wal
dersee by General Chaffee and returned TIC
him because It's language was not consid-
cred sufficiently respectful, but as the sub
ject of the letter was the looting of public
property for no military purpose, we car
imagine that the feelings of the count may
well have been hurt. The matter Is ore
that presents some difficulties to letter
writer's more skilled in using words to con-
ceal their meaning than officers of the
United States army presumably are If you
have occasion in the line of official duty to
protest against theving to one who is
directly or indirectly responsible for the
thieves it is not easy to do it in man
ner pleasing to the person addressed. But
we should say that the sensit1veness Of the
count might with advantage have been
manifested earlier and have prevented him
from doing or permitting the things which
he dislikes having mentioned to him. we
should suppose that it would be refreshing
to find one man in a responsible post willing
to call things by their right names and tC
bring his associates to some sense of the
feeling they are arousing at home as well
as in China

who planned. The centennial has been
characterised as too modest for the OcCa-

been of modest proportions and thoroughly

The II. and o. Bill.

The B. and o. bonus iniquity grows In
prospect. Today at the House District
committee meeting member proposed that
the government should pay only one-fourth
of the 81. 100000 which Is to be extorted
from the public in payment Of the b. anG
Q. This would place upon the District Il
debt of 81 5000. not one cent Of which
ought to be taken from the scanty local
revenues for this purpose. The proposed
amendment illustrates the viciousness of
the original scheme to pay the railroad any
cash whatever. The project of elevating
the tracks to eliminate the grade cross
ings should have been maintained from the
have similar propositions in other cities.
AS soon as the plan TO secure unjust pay
ments from the District and the govern
ment was preached. however, and given
official sanction. the way was opened for
ali sorts of absurd claims and advances.
The attorney for the railroad company
today asserted before the committee that
the corporation ought TO be compensated
for the valuable privileges which it pro-
poses to reIinqush under this bill. The
Star has shown, in the clearest possible
terms, how for every such privilege relin-
pushed the road stands to gain others,
more enduring and more valuable. The
whole plan is unjust and indefenSibie.
Whether one-half or three-quarters or all
of the million and half gratuity is extort-
ed from the District taxpayers, the per-
Torrance will be robbery, thoroughly dis
creditable to every official guardian of the
Districts financial interests who is re-
sponsble for it or permits 1t.

geaded into hostile act by the stupidity
and cupidfty- of the American authorities,
and the result now is undying hatred of all
things American in the bosoms Of the Fill
pinos and a guerrilla warfare likely to con-
tinue for years. How will 1t be possible.
then the question is asked, to establish
government in the archipelago under the
stars and stripes which will not constantly
need the prop and protection of bayonets?
In the one case as in the other the ques-
ton is to stay or to withdraw. Threshng
over old straw is worse than useless. AS
to every question, there are two sides to
these questions. The world is familiar
with both sides. The worlds opinion-the
worlds official opinions made up. There
is no protest by any great power against
the British flag in the Boer country, nor is
there other than the greatest satisfaction
felt throughout the world at the presence
of the stars and stripes in the Philippine
Islands. The great majority of the Fflipi-
themselves salute it with pleasure.
Withdrawal, therefore, in either case, seems
utterly out of all reasonable calculations.
The British will stay in South Africa, and
we shall stay in the Philippine Islands, and
each government is obliged by every consid-
