THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.

It is said that the President is hunting
| for a Southern man to appoint on the
new Philippine Commission. 1t ought not
| to be difficult to find the man he wants
1t is said that ne would appoint Senator
| McLaurin of South Carolina If the Sena-
tor would accept The appointment would
no doubt be a good one. The Senator is
in harmony with the administration policy
| of retaining the islands as a permanent
possession.
The commission the President is now
appointing is more important one than
the one that visited the islands last year
and accomplished practically nothing. The
insurrection is practically ended. The
death of Gen. Pho del Pillar marked the
close of the organized warfare. He was
the chief military figure of the insurrec-
ton. Aguinnldo was of course the leader
of it, but from all accounts. his promi-
hence was not great from a military point
of view There has been some fighting
since the dea tn of Gen. Pho del Pillar, ana
there may be more, but IL will not amount
to much and win be done by.roving bands
of insurgents.
The war being over, it becomes i'm
portant that the islands shall be pacifed
as quickly as possible. The quickest and
surest way to accomplish that is to give
tho people assurance that the United
States intend to deal with them kindly
and justly. The best way of giving them
such assurance is to put honest men, hav-
ing ability and common sense, in the po-
sitions of responsibility. As che COM
mission will have great work to do, il
is of the highest importance that it should
be composed of men of the right sort.
There are plenty of such men, but it is
not an easy matter 90 find them, or to
secure their services when found
1t is evident That a great responsibility
in this matter rests on the President. No
doubt the pressure on him for appoint
ments on this commission is very great.
If, however, he sends commission to the
Philippines, composed of men unfit for the
service required of them, the work of
pacifying the islands and of establishing
an intelligent and stable government there
will be prolonged, and will be done in the
face of great difficulties. IT, on the
other hand, the commission is made up of
men every way fitted for their positions,
IL Will not be long before the Filipinos
will be entirely satisfied with the new con-
ditIons under which they are living and
will turn their attention to their bust
ness affairs and occhpati lions and to de-
veoping the resources of their islands.
Pacifying the islands and establishing
a stable government in them have
nothing whatever to do with the question
as to whether the Filipinos shall be given
their independence or shall be held as
dependency of this country. 1t is admit
ted by all parties that the thing to do now
is to restore law and order and give the
Filipinos good government

Senator Hanna, advancing in weight of
years and flesh, finds it rather difficult to
climb the steps of the White House to
reach the President. He says there ought
TO be an elevator in the building If the
Hanna influence is half as baleful as has
been alleged in some quarters, il might
not be bad idea to have the Presidents
office removed up two or three more flights
oil stairs, and pass a law prohibiting ela-
vators in the mansion.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appea Oem.)
says: THE South is vastly interested in
the building of this canal across Nicara-
qua, and the primal consideration with 1t
is to have the work done. England has
no right to impose any conditions upon
our enterprise, and we do not believe the
people of the South would tolerate any.
We should go right along with the con-
structon of the canal and let that violat-
ed treaty take care of itself; and if it
comes to an issue, England will find it
rather difficult to adduce just grounds for
the enforcement of a compact which she
herself has fiagrantly dishonored"
The Chattanooga Times Dem) says:
I'VE fancy that our 100000 cotton spin
dies, our 2,5OO0OO tons of iron. our 10000
600 tons of coal, our stupendous contri-
button to the countrys timber and lum-
Der supply. our greatly enlarged products
of wheat, corn. truck, fruit-we think
these are inspiring respect among the in
tellgent observers of the world They see
that the South is full of the old-fashioned
pluck, that its people inherited from their
British ancestors the kind of courage that
no adversely can tame, no disaster APP
pail"
The Macon Telegraph Oem) says: 1.-The
oOutn CdroHna income TAX law mas not
been repealed. The repeating bill failed
in the Senate, after having passed the
House. The, Columbia State says the law
was only imperative because the Legisla-
lure failed to pass measures to enforce
it, This makes it none the less a failure.
unless the present session should remedy
the defect. The action of the House gives
no hope Of this"
The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says:
LAS all the natives OF the Island of Tu-
tuila are protesting Christians, we won
der what excuse the administration has
for gobblng up this slice of Samoa. The
religious pretext fails; and as most of
the adult natives can read and write, the
educational pretext goes with the relig-
ious one. This is expansion with the 'heu-
evidence eliminated"

With hearty hochs the German Emperor

The Liberal whip, Alexander MacAr-

thrown off all allegiance by voting with

whip, is on the point of resigning to
show disgust with what he believes to

Meanwhile the imperiaist section has
demanded that Sir Edward Grey as
