Philippines Upon the 7th of Feb
ruary next the war in the islands will
enter upon its fourth year. How much
longer will the American people consent to
such a waste of treasure and blood? How
much longer will they care to have their
actions in the east cited by Mr.. Chamber
lain and his fellow wrongdoers in South
Africa as their excuse for concentration
camps, for baniShmentS, and for stamping
out nationality"
The crime committed in Cuba was not in
gathering the non-combatants into camps,
but in neglecting and starving them there.
1t was for this policy that General Weyler
was denounced by the American press. The
mortality was frghtfulIy high, and STAR
walton explained 1t. The people had but
little at home, but after being penned up
they had nothing. Their sufferings were
narrowing to all beholders, and thousands
of photographs showing the exact conditions
were taken by reliable American CORE
spondents and sent home for distribution
The Weylerites first tried denals, but then
offered the plea that Spain was finding it
difficult to feed even her own soldiers. And,
as it was urged, she must attend to them
first.
AT the first complaint that the camps of
the refugees in South Africa were not in
proper sanitary ConditiOn-there has been
no charge of lack of food-an investi-
cation was set on foot, and it is now pro-
ceeding. Among those conducting it are
several English women of distinction, Sc
lected for the work because of the fact
that many of the Boer inhabitants of the
camps are women and children. The in
quiry Is to be thorough. General Kitchener
has so ordered. and it is a fair assumption
that the report when made will be promptly
acted on. England is rich and powerful,
and 1t would be an indelible stain upon
her reputation to have existing in South
Africa under her flag conditions even re-
motely resembling those for which General
Weyler stood in Cuba
May we not also with safety assume that
the order given in Samar will be executed
Is there the slightest warrant for the i'm
putation that are entering upon a course
in the Philippines which will parallel that
of Spain in Cuba? Is there an American
commander anywhere in the archipelago
who would use starvation as a means of
suppreSsing insurrection or who would turn
his attention thus from men in arms to
children in their mothers arms?
And. by the way, did the Evening Post
have word of protest against Weylerism
in Cuba? Or were its energies solely di-
rected toward preventing intervention on
the part of the United States in that af-
fair?
Evening star., 1901-10-31

The reports of a French naval movement
against Turkey to hasten the settlement of
the French claims have been verified and
ii is stated that squadron has actually
sailed under sealed orders. The hint is
given that the plan of the campaign inc
wolves the blockading of Turkish port or
Its absolute seizure to enable the French
government to collect the amount due. This
is a neat, direct method of either securing
the debt or inviting armed reprisals. Un-
less checked at once through diplomacy it
cannot we'll fall short of immediate hostfl-
tiles. The distance to be covered by the
fleet is such that a day or so should bring
disclosures Indicative of the real prospects
for war or peace.
If France is in earnest in this matter, and
if Turkey does not wish to be coerced thus
at the point of the bayonet to liqudate,
some very lively times are ahead of Europe
If. on the other hand, France is not seri-
ously determined to force the issue to the
point of war, there is Yet a chance for
negotiations TO be resumed before the first
gun is fired The interests involved are too
momentous TO permit very deep game of
bluff, however. on either side 1t would be
disastrous to French foreign prestige for
the fleet to establish blockade and then
tiOn. 1t would likewise be productive of
unpleasant future complications for the
sultan to permit himself to be forced into
payment by such a bluff, with Europe
standing neutral.
The sultan's chief source of strength I'm
his debtorship for many years has been the
unwilIingness of the powers to permit any
one of them to break the concert by at
tempting the individual coercion of Turkey
He found himself without this security
when the United States pressed him for the
payment Of the Armenian claims, and was
eventually forced to liquidate 1t is to be
without the sanction OF Russia, whose In
terest in Turkeys present and future is
vital At the same time France well knows
the friendly leaning of Germany toward the
sultan and England's Unwillingness that
any serious disturbance should occur which
would warrant Russia In moving southwark
toward COnsJantinOple. If the squadron
has sailed under orders to proceed with the
business of collection or coercion regardless
of these considerations the chances for a
breakup Of the long maintained concert
of Europe" seem stronger than for many
years.
But the sultan is always a shifty element
and 1t is never safe to calculate upon anv
situation in which he figures much in ad-
vance OF the actual happenings

Mr. German and His Spook.

Mr. German. who still pretends to toy
with the question of his candidacy for the
United States Senate. calls upon the people
of Maryland to record themselves on a
most momentOus proposition. Which is,
shall the white man or the negro rule in
this country? The matter. according to Mr.
German. has been pending for thirty years.
and its importance calls for a decision
This of course is a -Mephistoplelian
in conception and Gormauesque in delivery.
The real issue in Maryland is, shall the af-
fairs Of the state. and particularly those of
the city Of Baltimore, be fully restored to
the hands of the old German Rasin ring?
The ring was sent to grass several years
ago by most pronounced decree of the
people of Maryland. A coalition of demo
Gratis and republicans, working in the in
terests of honest and decent government
wrested control from the ring. cleaned up
the local situation, and in national affairs
placed the state in the column supporting
the country's financial credit and prosper
ity. Since that day the ring has not
changed either in personnel or purposes
The same men, leagued together for the
same old ends, are maneuvering for an
other turn al the public crib. Shall they be
permitted to renew in office their former
Finding thousands of the best democrats
in the state still opposed to him, Mr.. Cor
man seeks to divert attention from the
real issue by solemnly raising the spook
of negro domination. Could anything be
more hypccritical or ridiculous? Mr.. Cor
man, in effect, charges that for thirty
years the negro has been seeking political
control. Admitting that to be true for
the arguments sake, what danger does the
negro present? He controls absolutely
nothing politically. He fills, by appoint
ment. a few. very few. federal offices.
He fills TO place on the bench, no guber-
national chair, but one diplomatic post, and
that to negro government. He has dis
appeared from the state legislatures. If
Mr. German should succeed in this cam
paign and be returned TO his old place in
the Senate he will find not a single negro
in either house of Congress. He has been
barred from the polling booths by whole
sale. The wisest and most influential
leaders of his race, while insisting upon
justice before the law for him, are advising
him with perceptibIe effect to give less at
tention to political ambition and more to
securing a substantial stake in the country.
Reduced then to a question in simple
arithmetic, if the negro in thirty years has
made this much progress toward securing
control Of the government, how long will
it take him to secure complete control?
In no state in the Union is this cry of
negro domination so discreditabIe to those
who raise it as in Maryland. And the fact
that he has been driven to raise it IS I,roof
sufficient that Mr.. German does not repre-
sent the people of Maryland in their best
aspirations on the really vital questions of
local and national concern.

are covered by a wild growth and may per-
haps affording a breeding place here and
there for mosquitoes. 1t is practically as
sured that these lands will be treated and
developed on wonderfully attractive lines
if the parking commissions project Is
adopted. Just whether it is wise to pre-
empt the park for a future military
encampment must be left to later judg-
ment. AS general proposition. however,
the wisdom of such use may well be ques-
toned There is need of national model
military encampment, and Washington
would naturally prefer to have it located
within the local radius. But there are
many sites as good as and even better than
Potomac Park for such purpose The en-
campment project will require a certain
amount of permanent construction more
or less incompatible with the idea of
park for the recreation of the people.

The Army and Potomac Park.

In the course of his annual report Lieut..
Gen. Miles once more calls attention to
1.-The unhealthful and unsightly condition
of the grounds west of the city known as
the Potomac flats, the use of which he last
year recommended for future encampments
of regular and militia forces when occasion
requires. This proposition has not been se-
riousIy discussed In view of the fact that
the park improvement plans, upon which
1t has an immediate bearing, are yet to be
fully formulated and presented to Con-
gress. But meanwhile the actual condition
of these reclaimed fats may as well be
taken into account. There is no positive
proof or even scientific suspicion that the
unimproved lands are menace to health at
present. They are. to be sure. unsightly in
the sense Of lacking esthetic features. They

Low the FavOrite.

From the New York Herald.
Seth Low appeared as a favorite in the
betting on the mayoralty election yesterday.
One wager, at the rate of 10 to in his IA
vor, was made by Allen, Wood & McGraw.
This was the only one recorded at these
odds, but all the rest of the betting was at
even money. Shepard men, who have all
along been willing to give odds, yesterday
declined to make a bet except on a dollar
for dollar basis.
This action on the part OF Tammany's
betting admirers has caused a pronounced
feeling that Low will be decided choice
on election day.
