WASHINGTON, March %. - Secre-
tary Root has taken a step long contem-
plated in the administration of the Phil
ippines by directing the creation of an
entirely new military division to be
known as the division of the Pacific,

Mindanao and Jolo, commanded by Gen

ing closely to that occupied by General
Miles toward the military departments in
the United States.

The three great Republican counties
OF Pennsylvania are Philadelphia, Lam
caster and Allegheny. Bardsley, Re-
publican offlceholder inflicted on Phil
adelphia losses by defalcation and en-
bezzlement aggregating more than a
million dollars. He was sent to the
penitentiary and pardoned out. More
land and House, Republican officehold-
ers, put Pittsburg in Allegheny coun-
ty, through the squeezing process to
the extent of several thousand dollars.
One Of them has been pardoned, and
the other is likely to be. Now comes
the last, in the embezzlement by Her
shey, the Republican treasurer of Lam
caster county, of s65,000 of the public
funds. He has every encouragement
to expect that his little peccadillo will
be forgiven. The greater the crime the
less punishment "Bill" Kemble set
the fashion, by the aid Of the Quay
machine, over 20 years ago, when he
set out at Harrisburg to bribe whole
legislature, and being convicted was
pardoned before the prison doors had
chance to close on him. The quality
of mercy is not strained in Pennsylva-
MIA when it applies to big operations.

This game Of military hide and seek
has been played for about a year at a
cost to the people Of thousands of val
liable American lives and over $780,
900 900 in hard cash. The mothers and
fathers Of the country who are called
upon to sacrifice their sons, the over
burdened taxpayers who foot the bills,
are beginning to exclaim, How long,
o Lord, how long?" The Spanish war
the war authorized by congress-add-
ed to our renown by the splendid vic
tories of our forces by land and sea
and gave us at least two new naval
heroes of the first rank-George Dew
ey and Winfield Scott Schley. But no
man who has any reputation for verac-
ity to lose will assert that the Philip
pine war has added to either our glory
as people or to the strength Of the
republic. When the Spanish war
closed we could have occupied the most
enviable position ever held by any ma
ton since creations dawn, and all we
had to do was to do that which we
owed 1t to ourselves to do, and that
was to say to both the Cubans and the
Filipinos: 1.-The Spaniards are beaten
Your chains are broken. You helped
us to do this thing. Now set up any
sort Of government you want, and we
| will make the other nations of the
earth keep their hands off you, or we
will shoot them off."-Hon. Champ

1t may not be a matter of great i'm
portance, even to the people Porto
Rico, whether their products are ad-
mitted into our markets free or re-
quired to pay duty of twenty-five per
cent, but 1t is of vital Importance that
they shall be admitted at some rate
and a market opened for them. In the
present state Of things we have simply
released the Porto Ricans from Span
ish rule and destroyed their market re-
lations with Spain without furnishing
any substitute at all. We govern them
by military force and maintain our tar
III restrictions against their products.
Congress should do something about
this important matter and do it quick
! ly. Already the people Of Porto Rico
are complaining that they are worse
off than under Spanish rule, bad as
that was, and further delay will SIM
ply breed more discomfort and possi-
| bly, rebellion. Having acquired Porto
| Rico, we must provide it with a
| government under which it's people
can live in greater freedom and COM
fort, rather than with less than be-
fore This we are bound to do in SIM
pie justice to all concerned, and fur
ther dallying with this important sub
| ject is simply inexcusable.

Result of Their Conference with Col

Result of Their Conference with COL
onel Polk Not Ann ,uucsi.
Galveston, Texas, April 1s.--The men-
bers of the grievance committee OF the
order Of Railway Telesraphers who have
been holding conferences with General
Manager l.. j. Polk of the Santa Re, have
finished their labors here. While the ex-
act result can not be learned OF the con-
ference, still. from the best information
obtainsble, 1t is rumored that the Santa
Fe intends TO maintain its present exist
ing relations with the telegraphefs. 1t is
currently understood that the Order OF
Railway Tslegraphers desired that the
seniority rule should be invoked in their
department Of railroad work and that
they should have a sayso whenever
charges were brought against an operator,
as to whether or not the operator should
be discharged.
There is no disposition on the part OF
either the operators or the railroad off,
cials to discuss the matter.
