The Maryia nders who are laying plans
for the selection of site in that state for
one of the great army camps contemplat ed
by Secretary Root have the good will of
the District In their enterprise In all like
lihOod if a Maryland site should be chosen
for the eastern camp 1t would be located
with reference to convenience Of access
from the capital. There are many reasons
why location near Washington should be
found for this purpose. 1t would be at a
convenient distance for the militia organi-
cations OF number of states. lying midway
between the northern and the southern sec
tons 1t would be within quick reach OF
officers of the army from headquarters for
inspection purposes. 1t would afford the
men of the various state guards a chance
TO visit the capital and to absorb the slim
ulating Ideas which association with the
District always ensures.
There is no lack Of opportunity In this
region for the establishment Of an excellent
camp The experiences of the authorities
with Camp Alger should not bear against
the vicinity of Washington now. The faults
OF selection and maintenance there were
not especially due to the nature of the
country or to the climate. They were
traceable to mistakes of camp administra-
tion which might have occurred anywhere.
1t should be possible. in the light of those
mistakes and their obvious remedies to
create a model camp within a few miles of
Washington which would serve to raise the
standard of efficiency in both the regular
and volunteer forces The District will pull

were. turns his back upon silver ana de-
clares that the issue is dead the country

A few years ago he was sent to Congress
by Minnesota district He was what Is

and a good campagner. But he had no

He no longer detects a curse in gold. He
no longer sees the country rushing upon

money power in New York. According to
Mr.. Towne's present vision. gold is all right
and the country is all right. He is filling
his own pockets, and he is all right.
But shall We call this man a financier?
Are his views on the money question of
any particular value one way or another?
A few months in Congress changes him

pert Mr.. Bryan ure quoted as much en-
couraged by the Columbus deliverance.
They have hopes that IL marks the begin
ming of new order of things, and that a
reunion of the party may be effected in
time for 1904. rammany may attempt to
win these men to It's support this year by
representing to them that the loss of New
York city might affect the next state race,
and that the defeat of the democracy in
that contest would be a damper on the
party In the presidential race.
1t Is well to remember how they do
business in New York. In 1892, when Mr..
Cleveland was a candidate for the presi-
dency, Tammany was in ugly mood. 1t
didn't like Mr.. Cleveland at all, and there
was the threat of Sulk. That meant the
certain loss of the state. But a city ticket
was to be elected, and it was found that
If Tammany were permitted to control
those nominations all would be we'll. Such
a bargain was ,aade in Mr.. Cleveland $
name. and the arrangement proved sue
cessful. Tammany bestirred itself and car
ried the state for Mr.. Cleveland. and. with
the aid of Mr.. Cleveland's friends, the city
for itself. Men who detested the organi-
zation. and for years had held it up to
deserved odium. helped to install it in COM
plete control of the city.
Tammany as rotten then as it Is
Low. and it proceeded at once to improve
its opportunity. The Lexow investigation.
which followed in Il year or so. uncovered
the foulest mess of municipal misgovern-
ment that Tammany up to that time had
ever concocted. The pickings had not been
SO large as in Tweed's time. but they had
been collected from the lowest possible
sources

The opponents of Tammany should well
Come this decision. II the organization is
vulnerable at all II is on local issues. To
he sure. Tammany has twice indorsed free
silver and supported Mr.. Bryan for the
presidency. but that. as everybody under

party regularity. Mr. Croker and his lieu-
tenants are not fairly to be tried on prfn-

The suspension of civil government and
the resumption of hostilities in the islands
of Cebu and Bohol and the province of
BatangaS, LuZon. does not necessarily indi-
cate weakening of the American prestige
In the Philippines. 1t might readily have
been expected that there would be some
setbacks after the first declaration Of civil
administration. The progress made by the
American authorities, both civil and mill
tary. during the past twelve months has
been beyond the early calculations. Much
has been accomplished within that time
that seemed likely to be postponed for
months, perhaps for years. The insurgents
of note have all yielded and abandoned the
field. Aguinaldo is on parole stripped of
his authority and influence. Even Cailles
the last-ditch head-hunter, is within the
American lines. The leaders now out are of
minor consequence and there are presuma-
bly, only comparative handful of active
Insurgents in the field. They seem to have
concentrated their efforts in a few places,
and it was an act of wisdom for the au
thorities at Manila to agree to change of
the mode of government in those localities.
to permit the resumption of such vigorous
military operations as are likely to check
this outbreak. Conditions in the islands
favor guerilla warfare. A few score of
armed men can easily create a temporary
disturbance. But such operations do not
constitute an insurrection, and the steps
which ire being now taken to suppress the
bands in Cebu, Bohol and Batangas need
not and presumably will not affect the
progress of the governments pacific enter
prise in other portions of the group. The
prompt manner in which steps were taken
to meet the new conditions in those places
Is an assurance that perfect understanding
prevails at Manila between the civil and
the military leaders.

From japan snd America.

A very great portion Of the prosperity OF
the port Of Seattle is due to the increase of
Japanese trade in the Pacific From that
port there are several competing railways
that have added to the facilities of trans
shipment and encouraged commerce. The
trade with Japan and the other countries
of the east has become 50 important that
the Great Northern. the Northern Pacific
and the Canadian Pacific railways are con-
structing terminals and docks for the ac-

ships, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, connecting
with the Great Northern railway. and es-
