GuerrillRs TO BE Punished
The arrest OF Tagal on the charge OF
being guerrilla. as reported from Manila
yesterday, IL is said at the department
marked the initiation OF another policy
towards the Insurgents who stih remain
under arms. As the summary punishment
OF sueTrillas cannot be had until some
action has been taken to declare the ter
mination OF the application of the rules
OF war, IT - assumed al the war depart
ment that Gen. Otis has already issued
some Kind OF q proclamation or notice to
me natives, warning them that II they
tory warfare, they will be treated as guer-
rillas when captured.
The New Commission.
The president is devoting special atten-
,ion 10 the formation OF the new Philip
pine commission, acting on the advice that
the army has reached the end OF its func-
ton IN the Islands and that the time IL
ripe for the establishment OF civil gov
eminent throughout the archipelago. II is
hoped that the personnel can be Complete
ed before the end of next week III ap-
pears that Mr.. DENLY was obliged TO de-
cine reappointment as a commissioner on
hard work that will be involved through
the visits TO all islands to set up local
governments.
Robert Porter May Go Ont.
IL is understood that when Hon. Robert
Porter, who recently returned. from an
official trip TO Cuba, was IN washington
the other day the president spoke TO him
IN reference to becoming a member OF
the Philippine commission Mr.. Porter's
private affairs and his work In connection
with Cuban tariff matters make IL I'm
possible for him 10 be absent from the
United states for a couple of years but
he has been requested by the president
and secretary OF war. as soon as a stable
government has been formed in the Phil
inpines, TO do the same work in connec-
ton with the customs and internal rev.
enue taxation In those islands that he has
done In Cuba and Puerto Rico. As soon
as a government Is established In the
Philippines IL will be necessary to arrange
for revenue and a workable fiscal system.
and this duty VIII largely be devolved on
Mr. Porter.
Some Islands Released.
Upon representations OF the Spanish
government TO the effect that some OF the
Islands south of the Philippine archipelago
which have been taken possession of BY
the United States gunboats were really

HIGHER Salaries FOR JUDGES.

Senator Hoar is much distur' p by the
smallness of the salaries ~suonRA United
States judges. He has prepar~ss bill. in
which it is provided that the salaries Of
the Supreme Court justices shall be in
creased IS. 900, circuit judges So coo, and lis
trict judges 50, 500. He thinks that in COM
parisoa with the judges of other countries
those of this country are very poorly paid
1t is undoubtedly true that the salaries
of United States judges are very small
but +hc fact must not be lost sign of that
these judges hold their positions for life
And when they become too old for. active
duty they can retire on a pension The
judgships are such desirable ones that
they are sought by the very ablest
members of the bar.
1t is true, of course. that there are law
yers who earn several times as much an
nually as the best paid United States Judge
receives, but no lawyer has a certainty
that his earning power will continue. In
fact. very few lawyers-few in comparison
with the whole number of them in the
country-accumuate fortunes It is prob
able that as many judges as practicing
lawyers. in proportion to their number
accumulate comfortable properties
1t may be said that the salaries of judges
should be large enough to enable them to
make provision for their families. Their
salaries are large enough to permit them
to buy a very considerable amount of life
insurance. a life policy is about as good
property as there is TO leave TO ones fam
i!y.
If the salaries of judges should be in
creased there is no reason why the salaries
Of senators and representatives, should not
be; in fact, why every government. en-
ploye's salary should not be increased-the
salaries OF army and navy officers partic-
ularly. And when the increasing Of sala-
ries is once begun 1t is pretty certain that
there will be strong pull made for PEN
sions for all employees Of the government.
What reason there is for giving a pension
10 a government omploye and not to a per-
son who rs taxed on the little property he
may have TO pay government pensions is
not easy 10 discover.

THE KEY OF rae SITUATION.

The Washington Post a nevspaper that
processes to be independent, expresses the
opinion that the South can prevent the
adoption of a platform at Kansas CITY
on which no Democrat can be elected, and
wants to know if the conservative ele-
ment of The Southern Democracy intends
to stand aside and permit the ward bum
mers and the sand hillers'' to organize
the Kansas City Convention on a basis
that would result in certain defeat.
What the Post means is that If the
Democrats adopt a platform similar to
that of the Nebraska Democrats, a plat
form said to have been dictated by Mr..
Bryan, or If they reaffirm the Chicago
platform, they will have no chance of
winning the presidential election 1t may
be that the Post understands the situa-
ton in the South. 1t has every opportun-
ity 10 do So 1t is in touch with the Dem
ocratic leaders at the National Capital
1t ought to know, and doubtless does
know, that if a platform were adopted at
Kansas City that diverged greatly from
the lines laid Gown in the Chicago plat
form, the Populists and the Silver Repub-
Leans would withdraw from the ranks of
the Democracy. In some of the Southern
states the number of Withdrawals might
be almost, if not quite, as large as the
number that would remain in the party.
Therefore, while the chances of carry
ing New York, and perhaps one or two
other Eastern states would be increased,
| there would be a strong probability of los
ing two or three Southern states. Indeed
it is impossible 10 say with any degree of
certainty how formidable a revolt would
follow the adoption at Kansas City of
such platform as would satisfy the Post
All things considered, it is probable that
the leaders of the Democracy understand
better than does the Post what sort of
platform declarations are likely to be pro-
ductive of the best results at the ballot
box. They are studying the situation, and
their aim will be, when the time for ac-
ton comes. to make a platform that will
bring to the support of the Democratic
ticket the entire opposition to the Repub-
lican party
1t is undoubtedly true that there are
very many Democrats in the South who
are opposed to declarations in the recent
ly adopted Nebraska Platform. They are
found mainly among the younger element
of the Democratic party, but there is not
much danger that they will vote the Re-
publican ticket, if they do not get what
satisfies them in the platform of their
own party. And they would not change
the result If they should. 1t is not likely
therefore. that at the Kansas City Con-
vention the South will undertake to die
tate platform that would be acceptable
to the East rather than to the West.

from the pens of the writers in advocacy
of sound money"
Another was made by Mr.. Dalzell, of
