THE WORK WE ARE IN"

If we were to judge from some current utter
ances we might think the individual acts or a
few United States soldiers all that was
being done in the Philippines, and that if these
are bad everything is bad. and there Is moth
ing left but for us to scuttle incontinently out
of the whole archipelago and erase the date OF
Dewey's advent at Manila from national
calendar The fact is. of course that individual
misdeeds however bad and however sternly
they are TO be punished. have not the slightest
relation 10 the general merits of our policy In
the Philippines and have little effect upon the
course of events in those islands. Despite all
that there is may be to deplore, there is
vastly more at which to rejoice Progress of
substantial creditable and most gratifying char
acter is being made toward the fulflment Of
the beneficent purposes with which the United
States assumed the burdens and obligations
which were forced upon it in 1898.
An agreeable reminder of this is provided in
to-day's news which is TO the effect that Gen
eraI Malvar has unconditionally surrendered
and that thus armed resistance to the United
States in the Department of the North Philip
pines is ended. General Malvar is the last of
the important insurgent leaders. For some
time he has been by far the most formidable
figure in the field, the one rebel worthy to be
called a general, and he has kept several i'm
portant provinces of LuZon in a state of unrest
and insecurity. His surrender marks the end
of important leadership among the insurgents,
and opens the way for pacification of those
provinces and the establishment of that civil
government which even the strongest critics of
the military administration declare is welcomed
by the people. II is an achievement over which
the United States may well rejoice.
Amid all the talk about 1.-The Philippine issue"
in connection with the reported acts of cruelty.
it is to be remembered that the real issue in
the Philippines is being made not by this soldier
or that officer but by the general progress of
the campaign. and that whatever abuses there
may be here and there the campaign on the
whole is being humanely and successfully
waged and peace and free popular government
are being steadily extended throughout the isl
ands TO the satisfaction of the people of them.
That is the simple truth of the situation as it is
to-day. The work in which the United States is
engaged is not that of oppression. but of free
dom: not that Of torture but of humanity; not
wanton war. but the establishment of peace,
That is the work are in. and to-day's news
gives fresh assurance that shall be success
full In our strivings TO finish it.

FOR IHPROFEMENTS AT WEST POINT

There is now an excellent prospect that the
present Congress will make provision for the
CRYING needs of the Military Academy at West
Point, the House committee having reported in
favor of beginning systematic scheme of i'm
provement there and recommended an appro-
priation of S3.000,000. The total cost of the
proposed changes and additions has been fixed
at S65o0000 not all of which will be required
for some time TO come, though it is to be hoped
that when the work has once been begun in ac-
cordance with well matured plan it will be
steadily carried TO completion instead of be-
ing halted at frequent intervals, the govern
ment's building operations too often are. The
dilatory way of doing things commonly illus
trated in federal affairs of this character is
asperating and costly, serving no purpose what
soever excepting as 1T may give those respon-
sible for it an undeserved reputation for econ
omy. We believe it has been urged that more
than S6.J00oO0 could be spent to advantage at
West Point. but that sum is believed by com
petent authorities TO be sufficient, and there
can be no doubt that if judiciously applied it
would avail TO effect a transformation bewilder-
ing to graduates of the academy who retain a
vivid recollection of the material conditions
which attended their education in military sci
ence.
II is gratifying TO hear, however, that in mod
ernizing the academy scrupulous care will be
taken TO preserve features which il is not essen
tial to destroy. The Improvement will not in
volve obliteration of things that are old if
they are also good and the natural attractions
of the place are not to be sacrificed to i'll
regulated passion for utility. Such at least is
the determination of men whose judgment has
been consulted thus far and whose influence is
| likely 10 control the work. There is at present
n strong disposition on the part of Congress TO
acknowledge West Points claim to the respect
and admiration of the country. We cannot say
just when the favorable charge began. but it
has been especially remarked since the corps of
cadets was put through a searching examna-
ton on the subject of hazng. II was feared by
the devoted friends of the academy that the dis
closures then made would ALLEVIATE the goodwill
of the public and encourage hostility at Wash
fngton. But in fact that trying experience pro-
duced the opposite result by demonstrating the
essential soundness OF the institution. The ad-
ministratiol of Colonel Mills was sustained in
