On the summary which is now avail
able of the report of the majority of the
court of inquiry the question naturally
suggests itself whether there is any use
ordinarily in seeking to go beyond the
rreiudices or preposseSSions of the indi-
vidual in looking for an official declara-
tior Of opinion on daily submitted testi-
mony Considering it's general character
the most surprising circumstance con-
nected with the report of Admirals Ram
say and Benham is that they failed to
find Schley guilty of cowardice. 1t finds
him at fault in every other direction,
and to be consistent it ought to have
made good on the coward and caitiff part
of the department programme.
It is a grievous wrong which is done
to the American navy and to the self-re-
spect and patriotism of the American
people by this report. 1t is hard to con-
slider It and remain within the bounds

The Philippine Tariff.

In proceeding to legislate for the fAil-
ippines one of the first tasks of congress
will be the enactment of revenue laws for
the archipelago, as this is not within the
power of the executive. Under the Porto
Rican decision sustaining the Foraker act
congress has power to make special tariff
laws for territory. In the opinion of
the court the Porto Rican tariff had it's
validity as a temporary adjustment for
the benefit of the island. But the Porto
Rican tariff has ceased to exist, and the
question recurs whether congress Will
adhere to the tariff policy Of moro than
a hundred years in making the same uni
form law cover states and territories, or
make the Porto Rican tariff act prece-
dent for the Philippines. What congress
can do and what congress ought to do
in. the premises are. two different things.
The extremely short duratfon : of the
Foraker tariff in Porto Rico affords
warrant for the belief that the expert
meflt will not be repeated in the Philip
pines For the rest, the task before con-
gress of legislating for remote regions
peopled by races who know nothing or
the institutions of this country is one
of no small ifficulty.-Philadelphia

uncertainty in that declaration. 1t is the
product of the thought and experience of
a man who has won renowned victories,
and it goes the full length which man
of heroic mold might be expected to go
in vindication of a companion in arms.
The other is the combined opinion of two
men, who doubtless jealous that another,
second in command, should by the in
evitable force of circumstances be brought
into the foreground, and whom the fates
had selected as the fitting instrument
for the accomplishment Of victory
which will live forever in the annals of
the American navy, doubtless feel dis
satisfied that the formaiities of depart
mental life and of naval routine should
have been violated by the snatching of
the laurels of victory from the grasp of
him who by training and temperament
they would naturally desire to see in
vested with all tine glory and all the
profit of the great occasion.

Peace in Luzon.

Much has been said and written in Ma
Mia recently regarding a threatened up
rising and the supremacy of the military
authority in the Philippine islands. That
there is and has been an Instruction in
Samar of more or less Importance ever
since the date of American occupation is
conceded. That military authority should
be and is supreme there is also conceded.
But to conclude from this that there is
danger of an uprising Of the natives in
Luzon, and hence necessity of returning
to martial rule in Manila and elsewhere
throughout the islands, is absurd. Ger
tain of the islands are in insurrection.

pan-American Conference.

There is no real reason why anybody
should smile derisively at the unwilling
ness of the Central and South American
republics, represented at the Pan-Ameri-
can conference, to accept without reserve
the principle of arbitrating all national
disputes. Most of these states are fight
ers by choice and by habit. They have
a high sense of personal and national
honor which, 1t is possible, they are dis
posed on some occasions to exaggerate,
but in what respect does their attitude
differ from that of the most advanced
nations of the earth, which recently con-
sidered the same subject at The Hague.

of military power. The greater portion
of the islands are at peace. o talk of
returning such portions of the islands to
military despotism will do more than any
other one thing to create feeling of un-
rest among the natives, and may and
probably will eliminate in another in
surrection. There is less trouble in the
archipelago, with the exception of Samar,
than there has been in any of our Vest
ern states with the Indians during the
past thirty years, and less than there has
been in many of the Southern states
with the negroes during the same period.

Each industry favors reciprocity which
shall leave the protection on that in

are spokesman for these industries take
about the same attitude. OF course, it is
possible to revise duties without abolish
ing any needed protection. Industries
have developed in such fashion in many
instances that even a noteworthy change
in the Dingley tariff would not harm
those interests. 1t is precisely in that
connection that much of the opposition to
reciprocity is inexcusable.-Boston Adver-

the proposition to put a 10 cents per
pound tax on oleomargarine colored in
imitation of butter will be sturdily pushed
on behalf of the dairy interests. AS tax
of 10 cents on the colored product would
be sufficiently protective, and as revenue
is not needed, it is possible that the pro-

not be insisted upon.-Philadelphia Rec
