SPREADING CIVILIZATION.

Unless IL IS the purpose to wait for
spain TO interfere FOR humanity's sake
in the Philippines It Is time Tor the
United States to do so. From sworn
evidence given at courts martial IL APP

fossons by cruelty is quite as common
In the army as It was in SPAN under
the inquisition and that trial by ord al
may be half-eNpeCted TO follow. Not
that our military TOrquemadas use
fire; instead they use water; but they
use II In a way to inilict great pain
and even permanent harm upon their
victims. 4 man is tied and laid on h :
back and his mouth pHed open with "A
stick. Then water is pumped into him
until he II nearly suffocated; where
upon soldiers jump on his stomach or
pound on IL thus forcing the water
from the mouth. After two experi-
ences with this water cure" as IL l.
Jocosely called, a Filipino Will confess
TO anything from mayhem to personal
responsibility for the last earthquake
Had Wcyler done anything OF this
Kind in Cuba war would have broken
out six months before IL did. Imagine
the Mysteries of the yellow journals
over such characteristic Spanish bar

In Boston and New York; frame an
idea Of Congress in action. Yet the

much as matter of course as Is the
mysterious third degree" by which the
police try to get confessions from sus-
peCted criminals.
The difference between our own
ethics OF military investigation and the
philosophy Of the thumb screw and the
rack Is only In degree. Human ma,

Take the average citizen and subject
him for while to the demorallzing in.

suise comes on like garment and he

said to have been one of his orders. A
line motto that for American soldiers

can't look n Spaniard in the face.
And what is to be the end? OF what

them with bullets and pumped into

THE PHILIPPINES.

One Of the best things that could
happen TO the United States, now that
Cuba is practically Off our hands. would
be to give the people Of the Philippines
a chance TO buy their independence for
q sum equal to what that turbulent
group has cost us. We bought the Phil
ippines and war for $20,0O0,000; and
the war has gone on since the late
summer OF 1898, nearly four years,
which was the length of the American
Civil War. We must, by this time,
have spent billion Of dollars on It;
and as small guerrilla bands can al
ways compel the presence Of a great
army to guard threatened points, as
witness the comparative numbers OF
Beers and British in South Africa. we
may have TO spend billion more be-
fore the Filipinos will settle down for
= brief breathing spell.
The argument for keeping the Phil
ippines is one OF trade. But we haven't
had TO acquire Europe to get our enor-
nous trade there. We didn't have TO
conquer Egypt to underbid the British
on the spot for bridges, rails ana loco
motives. When we do business with
pretty near all Europe In beef and
breadstuffs, we don't Rave to plant our
flag there first. American trade is ad-
vanclng like a tidal wave, washing ,ev-
cry shore and. unlike the tidal wave,

except in the Philippines, where we
perhaps pay out five dollars for every

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

The division Of insular affairs Of the
war department has prepared a state
ment giving an account of the weights
and measures in use i'm the Philippines.
The extension Of commercial inter-
course between the United States and
the Islands, the statement says, is at
tended with great inconvenience and
expense growing out of the COmplcat-
ed system of weights and measures in
vogue in the archipelago. China has
ruled the commercial transactions Of
the oriental world for the four centu-
ries since the islands have been ruled
from the West. The haikwan or GUS
tom-house tael is the standard weight
and value recognized in the custom
houses of the 10 treaty ports in all
transactions, and is also used among
the Chinese and other eastern traders
and merchants in their commercial
dealings in the Philippines. The state
ment concludes by noting the fact that
in the pending legislation in Congress
the metric system is proposed as the
standard for transactions Of commerce
and Washington Star.
