Sense About Philippine Warfare.

We commend, as . particularly
sane view Of the situation in the Phil
ippines, some remarks on the con
duct Of hostilities there which are
made this week by one Of the regular
contributors to Harper's Weekly.
After noting that the seizure Of
hidden rifles, even by help of the
"water cure" means to save life, to
stop fighting, and to give the civil
arm chance, be adds: "A choice
VI cruelties is the best that has been
offered in the Philippines. 1t is not
so certain thai we at home can afford
to shudder at the water cure unless
we disown the whole job, and il we
do disown the whole job we cannot
put the responsibility for it on the
army. The army has obeyed orders.
at was sent to the Philippines to
subdue the Filipinos, and it seems to
have made remarkable progress.
Having the devil to fight, it has some
times used fire; having liars to fight,
it has sometimes used lies; having
semi.civilized men to fight, it has in
some instances used semi-civilized
methods. That was inevitable, and
will be inevitable as long as soldiers
are men. II these water cure cases
are brought to trial they should be
tried in the Philippines, before men
who are familiar with the circum.
stances Of their occurrence and the
general conditions and standards Of
conduct that obtained where they |
happened. None Of us believes that
cruelty runs in the American blood,
Or that wanton cruelty has been done
in tide Philippines, except in isolated
cases, but the American soldier is an
earnest man, and wants results.
Major Gardener says, Use native
'roops.' BY all means use native
'roops as soon as they can be trusted.
BY all means, meanwhile, curb the
zeal Of our troops when it verges
oward ferocity. But don't condemn
hem unheard. and don't blame them
or faults that are part OF the job. 1t
s our job, not theirs"
There is much in that long quota
ion to horriiy the snti-everythings
Who call themselves anti-imperialists,
nd little pain to the thorough. going
'atriot who glories in being for his
ouutry whether it is right or wrong,
tut the recognition Of facts as they
re is apparent all through it, and
UGH recognition is common sense.

STOCK EXCHANGE FAILURES.
Tho Market Seriously Affected, Stocks
Breaking Heavily 1t the Outset
but Closed Steady.

New York, May 6.-Three stock ex'
change firms, Offenbach & Moore,
Henry Brothers 4 Co. and Lock.
wood, Hurd & Co., announced their
suspension In the order named at
the opening Of the market yester-
day. The amount of their joint liz
bilites Is variously estimated at from
100000 to $5,O0O,OOO, assets un-
known, and In the opinion Of good
judges a goodly portion are of doubt
full value. No very definite statement
was forthcoming from the parties
most interested. The day closed
with the usual rumors Of more fail
ures, criminal prosecution and the
like. The solvency Of several flnan.
cial institutions Of standing was
brought into question, but for such
rumors there appeared to be abso-
lutely no foundation.
The market was seriously affected
by the three failures, stocks break
ing heavily at the outset, but the
closing was fairly steady. The fail
ures were directly due to last weeks
serious decline in a number of in
dustrial stocks. 1t was an open Sc
cret last Saturday that two or more
concerns were involved in the decline
of the Webb-Meyere properties and
disastrous results were feared. Wall
streets conservative men were al
most unanimous in the opinion that
the days happenings had done much
to clarity the financial atmosphere.
