A WISE POLICY.

The doubt has existed in many minds
whether the strife in the Philippines
could not have been avoided if the.e
were not a weIl-defined purpose in GER
tain influential quarters to prolong the
conditions which would necessitate the
maintenance of an army on the islands,
with all the attendant occasions for pelf
and profit to promoters and army con-
tractors. That view is not rendered any
more improbable by the tendency which
to lessen the Importance of the arrest OF
the Filipino chieftain.
There is no longer the slightest sub
stantial reason for treating the situa-
tion in the Philippines seriously The
questions which will in the future oc-
cupy the attention of this people in that
section of the world are purely admins
trative ones. The military situation is
reduced to the utmost simplicity by the
arrest of Aguinaldo. It is indeed prac-
tically nonresident There can be no
continued Instruction when the life and
soul Of it. its directing mind and its in
spring influence is in the hands of the
American authorities.
Gen. Macarthur approaches the situa-
ton created by AgUinaldo's capture In
true soldiery fashion. His conduct sus-
tains all that has been urged on his be-
half as a man of tact as we'll as of mill
tary skill. He has thus far treated the
captured Filipino just as he should be
treated by any official who desires to Sc
Aguinaldo's oath of allegiance is final
IS to his position with reference to this
government. But if there were any
doubt left on that score the disposition
which he has thus far manifested to aid
in bringing the prevailing strife to
close would remove it effectually.
The Filipino leaders who have &C
cepted the inevitable can be made the
agents of an enduring pacihcation,
Without the cooperation of such men
it will always remain difficult to secure
full reconciliation on the part Of the
natives to the changed conditions
Any system of civil government which
We may seek to establish will find its
best guarantee Of success in such CO.
operation. Alien influence and control
may be greatly mitigated in the native
understanding by the appearance in the
character of civil administrators of these
men. They are beyond all harm present
or prospective.
1t is not to be expected that all blood
shed will stop at once No matter what
is done with Aguinaldo. or what he
does, there will continue to be sporadic
outbreaks or more or less violence
American rule is not going to be accepted
in a day or a month, which has been
fought against so strenuousIy for a
couple of years. But if the people at
Washington will leave the problem Of
Aguinaldo's future in the hands Of Gen.
Macarthur and those who are acting
with him at Manila, as they promise
to do, the occasion will soon present IT.
