"ruN1sH1NG rnE CHINESE.

The German position of holding Pc
King III force until all those concerned in
the recent outrages are given up for pun
ishment is clearly impracticable. There
is no doubt that the Empress Dowager
and the whole Of her governing clique srs
directly guilty of all the crimes against
humanity and civilization that have been
committed. But she and her immediate
circle would naturally resist to the bitter
end all efforts to deliver her and them
over to the executioner, as they eminent
ly deserve. To insist on this is simply to
declare war against the whole Chinese
people, for much as we have heard of the
revolt against the Manchus no one has
yet risen who makes any show OF disput-
ing the authority Of her and the Emperor.
If there were anywhere powerful rival
to the throne, he might be supported by
the Powers, and when placed in authority
be made the engine Of justice against
the malefactors Of the highest de-
gree. But to all intents and purposes,
Kwang-Su remains :he undisputed titular
Emperor OF China, and the Empress Dow
ager and her clique exercise his authority.
Therefore, the only thing to do, is to re-
store him to his throne in Pc King, and
put such pressure upon him and the EN-
press Dowager as will secure the exem-
plary punishments of their principal
agents. This appears to be the program
of the United States, Russia, and prob
ably of Japan and France
We shall retire from Pc King with our
army" but leave there Legation guard"
of 1000 men, with abundant supplies and
ammunition. With similar Legation
guards from other Powers, this will make
foreign force abundantly able to cope
with any uprising in or around the city.
Besides, we shall probably retain a good
force near Tien-Tsin, and from our strong
base at Manila, with 10000 seasoned vet
Grams ready for instant service, we can ex-
ert pressure incomparably greater than
that Of any other Nation.
Our policy is the simplest and most
reasonable, and by far the easiest to car
~ out. While we may not visit on the
Empress Dowager, Prince TuaD and one
or two others, the punishment they rich
ly deserve. we can infiict justice on those
next them, which will have the most
exemplary effect on the Chinese Nation,
and the Dowager Empress, Prince Tuan
ct al. will have punishment equal to the
worst in their powerlessness to save their
accomplices and TOOLS

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Only those who will not be convinced by
anything will fail to be convinced by the
plain, comprehensive statement of the
Philippine Commission as to the condition
in the islands. This shows that the stu
alton there is very much better than we
could have reasonably expected it to be at
this short time after taking possession.
When we recall the experience of other
Nations in reducing savage and semi saw
age countries to peace and order-when
we recall our own recent experience in the
Far West-we see that that our progress
in the Philippines has been most astonish-
ing. very large part of the islands has
been made as quiet and orderly as any
country. The people are at work, con-
tented and happy, industries are develop
ing every day, and plans for the future are
being matured. Schools are being estab-
lished everywhere, and the people show
the greatest interest in education. The
only trouble comes from the class bred by
four centuries of Spanish greed, incompet-
ence and misrule added to their own pirat-
zeal propensities. They are the ia
drones," or thieves, whom the Spaniards
never attempted to actually suppress.
They merely drove them off when they
made an attack, punished such as fell in
to their hands and could not buy them
selves off, and frequently bribed and en-
tered into alliances with the more daring
and skillful of them. They never hunted
them down after the thorough, relentless
American fashion, and either extirpated
them, or made them comprehend that it
was much more profitable to become quiet.
law-abiding citizens. These Ladrones-
thieves and pirates for countless genera
tions-form the backbone of the present
disturbing element in the islands. With
them are associated such of the honestly
inclined natives as they can impress, and
the shrewder men like Aguinaldo, who
want to get an opportunity to rob and
plumber the islands Spanish fashion. The
number and power of these Ladrones are
being daily reduced by the energetic war
fare against them of the soldiers, who
hunt them to their holes, and demonstrate
the hopelessness of their schemes. In real
ity, the pacifcation of the archipelago is
going on with unprecedented rapidly. No
Nation, taking possession of such a coun-
try, has done nearly so much for it in so
short time.

astrous attack upon Chickasaw Bayou.

Gen. Sherman's plan of capturing Arkan-
sas Post. In the campaign against Vicks-
burg Gen. McClernand commanded the
Thirteenth Corps. He failed to come up
to what Gen. Grant expected of him on
several occasions, and finally, after the at
tack on May 90, he issued an order sub
stantially that he had penetrated the enc
my's lines, but was unable to drive the at.
tack home on account of lack of proper
support from the rest of the army. This
brought out a vigorous protest from Sher-
man, Mcpherson, Rawlins and others, and
resulted in McClernand's being relieved
from command. He subsequently COM
manded troops on the Rio Grande, in 1864
when We were assuming a more strenuous
attitude toward the French in Mexico, but
resigned Nov. 30, 1864 He was commits

the National Union Convention at Phila-
delphia, in 1866, but gradually dropped

been living very quietly at his home in

certain directions, and in his prime ex-

Gov.-GEN. WOOD has begun the ardu-
Gus work Of reforming the ineffably cor
rupt Cuban judiciary by removing four of
the Associate Justices of the Audencia. or
Cuban Supreme Court. This is at once
the most difficult and the most essential
work the Americans have to do in Cuba.
Unless the fountain-heads of justice are
purified and kept pure, nothing else can be
of any avail, and any form of Government
is mockery and an oppression But ev-
cry lawyer and jurist in Cuba has grown
up and been educated under the vicious
Spanish system, where bribery and favor
itism have been the universal rule for four
centuries. They cannot understand any
thing else, and American justice is incom-
prehensible to them. A new generation,
sternly educated in American methods,
must rise up before Cuba can hope for
Judges after our own pattern, who will
decide without fear, favor, partiality OF
affection"

At the supper-tabie that evening Ma

that of subdued kindliness-of one who
had forgiven much, not on account Of the
merits of the offender, but from her own
