OTIS RETEA1ING HIMSELF.

The event Immediately preceding and
| following the strife between the forces
of the United States and of Aglinaldo
may never b. recited without serious re-
suits on the claim of the American gov
| eTrnent to honesty and fair dealing with
| TIE natives Of the Philippine islands.
Maj Gen. Otis certainly does not make
the situation better by his passionate and
apparently fll-considered talk before the
senate committee.
When the entire truth is known it will
probably be found that Gen. Otis has
! larger measure of the responsibility for
the shocking outcome of the appearance
Of American troops in Manila than any
other one individual. He brought into
existence a state of things on which has
been based the entire rotten superstruc-
ture Of our policy in the Philippines In
it was found the paTliation of the prac-
tice We have since maintained there, Of
shooting sense of the blessings of liberty
into or out of the native. Filipino. The
entire imEerialist plan of Filipino sub
| jugation found its instigation in his
stupid laundering at time when the
most tactful methods were demanded on
the part of tie head Of the invading
army.
From the first line to the last of the
| testimony of Gen Otis before the Philip
| pine committee he shows himself to De
evaslve and irascible to an extent which,
aside from every other consideration,
would establish conclusively His unfitness
for the grave duties imposed on him in
! being placed at the head of the American
! army at Manila. He ought never to have
! been put in such a situation. His con-
| duct of the campaign and of the admin
istration Of affairs at Manila proved
clearly that he was the supple agent Of
an equally supple administration which
was willing to take every possible chance
to help its friends by maintaining state
Of things on the islands wholly unwar-
ranted, but which would promote money
making through army contracts and all
otter speculative. schemes. This work
Otis did, and did well; and just the kind
of man that was intrusted with the doing
of it is revealed in his testimony before
the senate committee. He evidently
needs all the coaching and protection
which so Inscriptions a political par
tisan as Beveridge can give MIN.
We started wrong in the Philippines,
and we have gone from bad to worse.
We must sooner or later give those peo-
pie the control of their own affairs Just
how, when and i'll what form that viii be
done no one knows; but done it will be, if
free government is to survive on this con-
tinent.
Long before the close of the prevailing
investigation it ought to be in the power
of the minority of the committee to
thoroughly advise the country as to
the true conditions prevailing in the Phil
ippines and to fasten the responsibility,
present and past, for the existing situa-
ton.

compared with the estimated amount

ton and Philadelphia of gold certificates
through the mail. The loans were re-
duced $7,777000. making 50, 419 900 for the
fortnight ending with last week.

ing the fortnight The reduction in de-
posits last week was $685., 900 larger than
the total of the loss of cash and of the
decrease in loans; therefore the state
ment is slightly out of harmony. The
reduction of $2,783,S $50 in reserve require
mentS resulted in the gain of $685. $50 in

1t is noteworthy that in the CORE

only $24, 247 less than those reported last
week. while the deposits We're $27, 223 700

NEW YORK, March % = Tammany
men continue to distrust Lewis Nixon S

and they make significant remarks that
after the next primaries many of the
Tammany district leaders may unite to
request Richard Croker to return to the
active leadership. Mr.. Nixon and his per
Sonal friends, however resent that kind
Of talk and reiterate the assertion that
Nixon is no dummy and would not allow
Mr.. Croker to usurp the leadership again,
all of which causes loud laughter in some

Nixon, evidently in an attempt Ito
strengthen his own fences, recently has
transferred his attention from the hunt

Democrats who left Tammany because
of personal differences with Mr. Croker.
