ISLE OF LEPROsY.

One of the most knotty questions
that Americans are to solvei after the
subjugation of the Filipinos, is what
disposition to make of the $1,000
lepers reported to exist in the Philip
pines. Revelations made recently as
to the vastness of the number of lep-
ers said to exist in the archipelago
are astounding and astonishing, and
900 human beings in stages of decay
and decomposition occasioned by this
dread disease.
The history of the epidemic takes
US away back to the middle of the
Seventeenth century, when, history
teaches, a ship load of lepers was
landed in the Philippines by the jap
anese government, thus Kidding that
government of a few cases, but plac-
ing the disease and the contagion
where it would spread with terrible
rapidity. Now what is the result?
These people have become our sub
jects. We have $4,000 to care for
and to govern. The only solution Of
the problem is to place them on an
island and isolate them from all peo-
Piles. This sounds easy, hut how is
it to be accomplished and who will
care for the miserable lepers after
this is accomplished?
This government will be called upon
and it will be the duty of the govern
ment to supply nurses, physicians,
medicines and other requisites for
this isle of leprosy, which is the do
main of the stars and stripes by con-
quest and whose people are subjects
of the United States according to the
accepted ideas of our republican lead
ers of the present day.
There is little reason to doubt the
authentic reports which bear upon
this subject of leprosy in the Philip
pines, though it is to be sincerely
hoped that they are exaggerated. at
the best, there are hundreds of cases
of this disease. and with all it's hor-
rors it exists in the archipelago. The
government should cope with it as
soon as possible.

MEKRY wAK BEGINS.

The war is on to the knife at
Springfield between Gov. Yates and
the republican senator's, who have
banded themselves to stick together
through thick and through thin. Gov.
Yates position is that he made a
reasonable request of the senators
and that they affronted him person
ally by refusing to accede. Their po-
sition is that Yates made them a fiat
ultimatum at the commencement of
negotiations for compromise -"ac-
cept my terms or I'll beat you" and
"deliver your associates without their
consent"-which ultimatum they
could not accept and preserve their
self-respect as men and parts of a CO.
ordinate branch of the government.
Yates right to dictate how the state
senate shall be organized has been
fatty denied and he has been defied by
the Is repu blican senators who agreed
long ago to stand together. He has
taken off his coat and ordered out his
battalion of cabinet" members to
make good his promise to beat them.

CAPT. GEORGE A. CONVERSE has
been selected to command the new
battle ship Illinois, which is now I'M
dergoing its finishing touches at the
Newport News yards. The ship will
be the pride of the navy and much in
terest therefore attaches to the man
who will be her master. Capt. Con-
verse, whose assignment to the illi-
nois was made public yesterday by
Secretary Long, was recently promot-
ed to his present rank. He was born
in Vermont and appointed to the ma
val academy in 1861. He has served
on the European squadron, in the tor
pedo service as instructor, and was
commander of the cruiser Montgom-
cry at the time of the outbreak of the
war with Spain. During that trouble
he retained his command of the Mont
gomery with distinction.
