JUDGE TAFT's TASK.

Il is evident from our dispatches from
Manila that the Taft Commission has a
very difficult task 10 perform. Relying
upon the STATEMENTS made by Gen. Ot.s.
the commission evidently thought there
would be no great difficulty in providing
the Philippines with civil government. II
finds obstacles in is way that seem al
most insurmountabI2.

war Is over by any means on the cOn-

much more energetic measures for put
Ting an end 10 /, are adopted. Al pres
ent an American cannot venture far
away from the towns which are garri-
soned Even the country in the vicinity
Of Manila is practically in the hands of
insurgents-that IS. II IS not safe for
Americans 10 venture far from the city's
limits without a guard OF soldiers
The difficulty in establishing local gov
ernments for the towns and provinces
IS in finding loyal natives to I'll the
Offices. 1t is admitted that about all Of
The natives are treacherous They make
promises ard imme dia tely break them.
And then it is about impossible to get
honest officials. 1t is said that even the
judges appointed By Gen Otis appropri-
ate to their own u.s. about all Ct the
money that comes into their hands With
such material to work with it is easy
to see that the difficulties in the way Of
establishing local governments are enor-

that natives can, in a generation be so
trained as 10 make self government

We have heard a good d al recently
about the willingness Of the leading Fiji
pinos to accept American rule. 1t seems
they are not willing to do anything of
the kind They have told the Taft Com
mission that II permitted TO manage their
own affairs they would submit 10 an
American protectorate In other words
for freeing them from the yoke Of Spain
they are willing that We shall continue
to protect them against other nations in
terfering in their affairs. And what
would we get for the expense Of protect

present conservative policy than to send
men enough 10 the Islands at cnce to

Under existing laws all of the foreign
coins that come TO this country are re-
quired to be sent to the melting pot and
recoined as soon as they come into off,
cial hands one of the measures car
ried over from the recent session Of Con-
gress to the short session was a bill per-
hitting such coins to be held as bullion
in the treasury. for shipment abroad
whenever such shipments are made. The
CONS would, of course be both received
and sod by weight, the same as other
bullion is received and sold. 1t is SAID
such a law would save the government
not less than 100000 a year, the sum
which is now spent in melting and re-
coming. Bills to save money for the

REJOICING TOO soon.

1t is evident from the present attitude
OF the Beers that the English people re-
ioiced too soon. They thought that the
entrance of their army into Pretoria meant
the end OF the South African war. II is
clearly the intention of the Beers TO do
great deal more lighting. We do not be-
lieve they are taking a wise course, be-
cause, eventually they will have to yield
TO the British, and they could get better
terms now than will be offered them later
on. They are bent, however, on nhIcung
as great loss on the British as possible,
and they will not be willing to forego sat
isfying their hatred of the British unit.
they have themselves suffered a great deal
more than they have yet.
It is no doubt In their power to give the
British Il vast deal more trouble. They
can make the war last a year or more
longer But what is to be gained by pur-
suing such a course? While they are try
ing to hurt the British they are certain to
get hurt themselves. and the chances are
that they will get hurt worse than the
British. owing to their inferior force.
The kind Of war that Is being inaugural
ed is shown by the warning given the
burghers by Gen. Hunter. He told them
that if his telegraph communications were
cut again he would burn the houses of the
people along the line of the telegraph. 1t
seems that the Beers have torn up about
thirfy-fiye miles of the track OF Gen
Roberts railway line 1t would not lie
surprising if Gen. Roberts should issue a
=fr tTot
Hunter. Boer homes viii be destroyed and
Boer farms wrecked if the Boers persist
in carrying on guerilla warfare.
II having been clearly demonstrated
that. owing to their superior force, the
British are certain to conquer the Beers,
it is regrettable that the Beers insist upon
continuing the irregular warfare. From
every point of view il would be better for
them to get the best terms possible at
once and bring the war to close.

From all directions come reports of
great peach crop, and il is reasonable to
suppose that the statements are correct
The fullness of the crop is due not only
to exceptionally favorable seasons, but 10
the considerable number of new orchards
that have come into bearing this year.
In view of the output the probabilities are
that prices will be less than in recent
years. The opportunity. therefore would
seem to be especially good for canneres.
\ cannery near this city is reported to
have made a very good thing a few years
ago by buying up peaches as they came
into the city and canning them. If it was
profitable to buy peaches in the city and
can them. would it not be found much
more profitable to take oanneries into the
peach belt and so into the business on a
somewhat extensive scale? The growers
would no doubt welcome the Gamers,
since an additional market would be pro-
vidcd by them, and there would be less
danger of having to ship fruit to a glutted
market in the cities

"THE WIsEsT COURSE"

Speaking of the platform to be adopted
at Kansas City, Col. Lester was quoted
as saying in an interview published on
Sunday, that perhaps the "wisest course"
in dealing with the money question would
be to simply declare the adherence of the
Democratic party to bimetallism. If, as
is generally believed to be the case the
Democratic party must carry New York
in order to elect their ticket, as little prom
inence as possible should be given to sill
yer. There is no question but that New
York is against the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio Of l6 TO /. or
any other ratio. Ex-senator Hill UNDER
stands this very well, and that is the rea-
son no doubt that he had all reference TO
silver kept out of the platform adopted
by the New York Democrats,
1t is a question whether there is as
strong a sentiment throughout the country
now in favor of silver as there was in
1896. on this point Col Lester is quoted
in his interview as saying that the pro-
duction of gold has increased so greatly
that IT is evident that the supply Of either
gold or silver alone would be sufficient
for the transaction Of the worlds husi-
ness. The output of gold has been onor-
nous during the last few years The
average annual output Of both gold and
silver for the quarter of century from
1873 to 1895 was about $27l 100000 The OUT
put of gold alone in 1898 was 100000
In 1899 il was s352,OOo 900 and 1t is estimated
that this year it will reach $i0O,0l0OOo
With such a remarkable increase in the
annual yield OF gold it is rot al all re-
markaule that there should be marked
decline in the sentiment in favor OF sil-
yer

arate from the adult prisoners is entirely
proper Every effort should be made to
prevent any contamination of the young
by too close a contact with criminal sug-
gestions. even though they may have them
selves offended and deserve punishment.
The reform schools provide some measure
of protection, but not all that Is needed,
for there are many cases which do not war
rant reform school sentences, and in the
latitude necessarily given to the courts
absolutely accurate discrimination can not
be expected to prevent the sending of
youths to Jail who should be spared that
desenerating experience. The Star has
often pleaded for larger provision of sta
ton house equipment, and particularly for
place of detention wherein decent per-
sons held witnesses or under suspicion
or awaiting bail can be spared the ignominy
and the horror of contact with the ordinary
criminals and waits of the streets. Much
has already been done by the Commission
ers toward ameliorating the conditions. but
they need larger appropriations. The whole
bread question of the penal institutions and
the police court system of the District de-
serves thorough study with view to max
ing 1t worthy the city and adjustable to
every demand, instead of being, as now,
open to serious criticism.
