The Philippine War.

1t will probably do Mr.. Hoar no in1us-
tice to assume that the principal object OF
his resolution proposing a special inquiry
into the Philippine situation Is to cali at
tention to the conduct of the war. He mas
never approved of the war In any form' anu

fpelago of inhumanity. And so he asks that
seven senator's be appointed to look into
the matter thoroughly. and have the right
to send for persons and papers. Send as
far as the Philippines? Have General
Chaffee himself. II necessary, come home
and explain things?
Mr.. Hoar as the author Of the resolution
is entitled to the craftsmanship of the COM
mittee: but ought he not to decline In ia
yor OF some senator who has seen war
service? Ought not the whole committee
in fact to be composed of men who from
personal experience know what war is
Very excellent material is at hand. On the
republican side are Messrs. Hawley, Proc
tor QUAY. Warren, Burrows Hanna, For
aker and others On the democratic side
are Messrs Morgan Cockreil, Bate, Dan
iel Bacon, Jones Berry and others. They
all served on one side or the other In what
Mr. Roosevelt calls the great war They
know what war means. They know what
the soldier in arms with an enemy in front
is called upon to do. The extent to which
war is helF' can be fully and justly ap-
praised by them. as also the sort Of hell
we are raising under compulsion In the
Philippines.
It is a subject for the soldier. The civil
ian-aud especially If prejudiced against the
use of force-brings to it less knowledge
than is necessary to properly develop 1t.
The army in the Philippines has probably
nothing to fear from the most searching
inquiry on the score of humanity. The
American people are not prepared to be-
lieve that men wearing the uniform of the
United States are conducting themselves
like fiends in the archipelago, although op-
Grating in many places against savages full
of treaehery. That they have been clean
ing up the disputed territory pretty thor
oughly is simply what they were sent to
do. Anxious for peace and prepared to In
sure protection TO all, they had yet duty
to perform when resisted: and the extent
to which they have discharged that duty
within the bounds Of warfare measures
the obligations of the government to them.
The policy of scuttle cannot be forwarded
by firing on the army In the Philippines
from the rear. That it is doing its work
well is evident from many things, and that
it has orders to transgress the laws
of war or humanity needs no especial as

An Irreverence.

Oh, where is the queen of the May,
The lady with beauty so rare.
Whose mandates the zephyrs obey,
While she fastens a rose in her hair.
Her court In the forest is chill
Her sceptre is leafless and sere
And the wind whistles bleak Ger the hill
Where the troubadour birds sang so clear.
And the jester, whose folly complete
Oft puts the judicious to shame,
Says ''The Queen of the May hath cold feet
And therefore hath jumped the game"

city is to be a dream of wide avenues,
splendid mansions, parks terraces, balus-
trades, fountains, flowers and everything
that goes to make a city beautiful-ex-

refrained from anticipating the time when

NOT FOREIGN
NO DUTY ON GOODS FROM THAT
ISLAND.


Tutuila is American Territory and
merchandise shipped from there is not
subject to duty. This decision was
made by the Treasury Department Feb
ruary % on the protest of John Etlinger
to the assessment of duty by Collector
Stackable on merchandise from there.
The ruling is based on an opinion of the
Attorney General in which he says:
IF Page Page is not a foreign port
then, according to the recent decisions
of the Supreme Court the law imposing
duties upon goods imported into the
United States does not impose duty
upon goods brought from that place.
TThe privilege of establishing, at the
harbor of Page Page, a station for coal
and other naval supplies for our naval
and mercantile marine, was obtained by
treaty of 1878 with Samoa and deed
made in pursuance thereof.
by recent events, including the maxi
ing and executing of a treaty between
Great Britain, Germany, and the Unit
ed States, the island of Tutuila, of
which Pagi Page is port, has come un-
der the control and into the possession
of the United States. 1t is a small ISL
and, with but three or four thousand
inhabitants, has been separated pOltl-
cally from the remainder Of the Samoan
group, the authority of the King Of
Somoa over it is at an end and it has no
government but that of a naval officer
appointed by United States authority,
except local town governments. BY
the treaty referred to, the exclusive
sovereignty of the United States over
il appears to be asserted by us and re-
cognized by Great Britain and Germany
which nations formerly shared with us
prOteCtorate.
I'm view Of these thing, l am of
opinion that our tariff laws, imposing
duties upon goods from foreign coun-
| tries" are not applicable to goods ar
| irving from Page PagO.'

WASHINGTON. March 4.-The Com
mission to revise and compile the laws
of Porto Rico has submitted Its report
to the Attorney General. The Commits
sion consisted of Joseph F. DAILY Of New
York, l.. S. Rowe of Pennsylvania and
Juan Hernandez Lopez of Porto Rico.
The work undertaken was the revision
and compilation of practically all the
old Spanish laws.
The Commission. after an exhaustive
study of the Spanish system, proceeded
to make the most necessary changes
such as the reorganization of the ju-
dicial system and the system of local
government, the revision of the laws of
marriage and divorce and wills and Il
number of other important branches of
the civil and criminal laws. The most
! important work of the Commission was
the revision of the organic act of Porto
Rico, commonly known as the Foraker
act. The system of local government,
as proposed by the Commission, in
cludes a county, city and village or
ganizatiOn.
Briefly stated for local self govern
ment. the system leaves TO the local au-
thOrities the management of local af-
fairs, but prescribes a definite standard
of efficiency in the most important SER
vices, such as sanitation, drainage,
water supply, street cleaning, etc. IL
| the local governments fail to meet these
| standards the insular government IS
given sufficient power to meet every
| emergency. The habeas corpus act is
1 another Of the important changes pro-
posed by the Commission.
| The subject of marriage and divorce
! also is fully treated. The Spanish civll
code does not rerognizee divorce, al
| thought "A separation proceeding is pro-
vided for. This branch Of the law has
been brought into close harmony with
the system prevailing i'm such States as
! New York and Massachusetts.
II the expiration of the term fixed by
! Congress for the presentation of this re-
| port the Governor of Porto Rico APP
| pointed n code commission to continue
! the work of the first commission. The
membership Of the second commission
was the same as that of the first, witt
/ the exception of the substitution Of J
4 w. Keedy of Maryland for Joseph F,
DAILY, the latter being unable to serve
| The second commission, of which Dr.
L. $. Rowe is chairman, has utilized the
work of the first commission in a gen
eral revision of the existing codes.

HALI sTARVED PEOPLE.

Ono of the commoucsL and
least suspected causes Of ill.,
health is spmi-staryatiou. TO is
due to, or aggravated by, dobil-
fly of the stomach and bowels.
This condition is Of many grades
of severity; being sometimes
so slight as TO induce a mild
chronic fceblcncas, and then (es-
pecially in young men and
women) it may, and frequently
does, become the exciting cause
Of some rapid disease, which
ends life without arousiug
suspicion of the real source in
which it arose. The blood, in
these cases, is thin and pale,
the skin pallid, there is a ten,
dencv to Asthma, indigestion,
Debility and loss of appetite and
flesh. In young women there
is a decided drift towards Hys.
terra and other grave nervous
symptoms. The tried and true
remedy for this and all condi-
tions marked by low vitality is
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
which is palatable as honey and
contains the nutritivd and cura-
tive properties Of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, combined with the
Compound Syrup Of Hypophos-
phites, Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry. This effective
medicine is rich in food proper
ties, containing the full medi-
cinal value of the oil, without
its offensive taste or smell. 1t
agrees with the most sensitive
stomachs and brings about good
results from the outset. The
blood is supplied with needed
elements and losh and strength
quickly follow. In Foyers, Rheu-
matism, Sccof-la and all ills
founded upon, or associated
with poor digestion, it is worthy
of complete confidence. 1t can
not disappoint you. DR.. Thos.
Hunt STICKY says: "The con-
tinued use Of it in my practice,
convinces me that it is Che most
palatable, least nauseating, and
best preparation now on the
market. Effective from the first
dose. Sold by chemists here.
