NOT ENCOURAGING.

The first annual report of General
Chaffce was not an especially en-
couraging document. He praises
the military government of Manila
and expresses the belief that a ma
jority OF the inhabitants of the island
desire peace but he has not been
able to give the assurance that even
where they want fighting to cease
that they care to accept our domina-
tion.
All efforts TO secure a general
surrender in southern Luzon have
failed, several hundreds of rebels
still being in arms there. President
Roosevelt in his message expressed
the view that the instruction has
become an affair of local banditti
and marauders who deserve no
higher regard than the brigands OF
portions of the old world" but
General Chaffee does not confirm
this in any way.
Two of General Chaffee's recon-
mendations are quite opposed to the
viewsaof the government. He urges
that no further material reduction
of troops be made before January I,
1903, and goes or record against
General Corbin's plan of concen-
trating the troops in large bodies
except in the vicinity of Manila.
General Chaffee also declares tina,
there is but one certain and relia-
bic way of ascertalning the progress
OF the people in seli-government-
by observation by the army.-Pa

The plight of Pittsburg in the
scrimmage between the ripper"
factions Of the Quay machine is not
one to excite plying sympathy
Her city government has been
made foot ball for the teams with
her full knowledge and consent
and her citizens have "rooted" for
one gang or the other as the game
progressed. When the Bigelows.
backed by Stone, Potter, Elkin and
the rest of the Quay team, broke
through the Finn line and scored a
touchdown Pittsburg applauded the
play by giving to Stones man.
Potter, rousing majority. Now
that Stone has kicked the bali into
the middle of the field, and Finn
has caught it, Pittsburg's yells of
"off-side" excite only derisive
laughter. The score is even, it is
Flinn's ball, and the teams are in
confused scrimmage, squirming,
biting, kicking and slugging mix
up in the mire of squalid politics.
The decent people of Pittsburg
had their opportunity to register a
protest against this game when
Stones man, Potter, caught in the
act of making the Supreme Court
tool of political cracksmen, was
placed upon the State ticket as the
representative Of ripperism. They
gave to Potter majority which
could be construed only as an Ell
dorsement of all that he represent
ed, ratification of the ripping up
Of their municipal government and
a grant Of full power to Governor
Stone to carry out any deals he had
made, involving control of their
affairs. The vote of Pittsburg
shows that there was no revolt Of
decent Republicans against the ma
chine. Only the old-line Demo
Gratis made any fight against the
combined forces OF. the plundering
factions and their opposition was
more partisan than patriotic.
There are good citizens in Pitts
burg, plenty Of them, no doubt, but
they failed to indicate at the late
election that they give serious
thought to the responsibilities Of
citizenship or even have an in
telligent regard for their own in
terests. X x x
Pittsburg, least of all the cities Of
the State, can pretend that there
was anything unexpected in the
playing of one local machine against

what she bargained for, and if she
finds the price somewhat stagger-
ing, she must remember that gov
ernment by the worst always comes
