present laws are about as restrictive
as they can be made. They are absolutely
prohibitive against the coming of Chinese
laborers. That being the case there is no
need OF new legislation on the subject until
the expiration of the present treaty in 1874.
To have Passed a new and more drastic
law on the subject at present would I'M

as a violation OF the existing treaty. Most
American statesmen and lawyers who have
investigated the matter are OF the same
opinion. The treaty of 1894 was. by its
the date of ratification. and for a further
period Of ten years. unless notice of ter
mination by either country be given six
months prior TO the termination of the
first period of ten years. If we want to
make a new treaty with China we can
do away with the present one by giving
six months notice prior to it's termination
in 1904, but TO repudiate it by the enact
ment of a new law at this time, nearly two
years before the time when we are author
lied TO give notice of its abrogation, would
be a plain breach of faith and just cause

would be the more indefensible because.
as above stated. we already have stringent
and effective laws on the subject which will
remain in force two years longer. While
the United States is seeking to establish
friendly relations and increase trade with
China it would be the height of folly to
administer that government "A slap in the

answering every practical purpose and will
continue to do so while the present treaty
lasts. The bill passed by the Senate recog-
nizes the binding force of the treaty OF 1894,
continues the present exclusion laws in
force and applies them to the island pos
sessions of the United States as well as
to the mainland. AS ii accomplishes all
that can be desired at present in the way
OF excluding Chinese immigration without
violating the existing treaty. it is a wise
disposition of the subject.

THE SENATE AND CHINESE Ex-
CLUsION.

In it's action on the Chinese exclusion
bill the Senate has maintained its tradi-
tional reputation for wise and conservative
legislation. The question is an important
one, and, as experience has shown, is liable
to be dragged into politics. 1t has figured
in the national platforms of both parties,
and in 1883 the Democratic party tried TO
make 1t the paramount issue. hoping by
Misrepresentation TO turn the labor vote
against General Harrison. 1t will be surpris-
ing if they do not try to work the question
in the next campaign. though the Kansas
City platform of 1900 did not demand any
new legislation on the subject. 1t said,
1--WE favor the continuance and enforce
ment Of the Chinese exclusion law That
is just what the Senate has done, also ex-
tending the operation of the law TO our
island possessions. That there is a good
deal of feeling on the subject in some quar-
tiers, partly natural and partly artificial,
is shown by the efforts made to bring pres
sure TO bear on senators to induce them
to vote for the drastic measure reported
by the committee. Senator Hanna read
some of these messages. in which the send
ers said I'VE demand and insist upon you
supporting every essential feature OF the
Chinese exclusion bill" He said he re-
served the right to determine for himself
what were the essential features neces-
sary for the exclusion Of the Chinese. and
he declined to heed the demand that he
vote for the committee bill. As the matter
is likely TO be a subject of agitation by
demagogues for political effect it may be
we'll to state the situation as it exists and
as it will continue for two years longer
if the Senate bill shall pass the House.
No person denies the light of the United
States to restrict or entirely prohibit Chi
nese immigration If it sees fit TO do so. and
scarcely any person doubts the wisdom of
doing so. 1t is essential for the protec-
ton of American labor. The Chinese gov
eminent has, by treaty. distinctly recog-
nized the right of the United States to
l~egislate for itself on the question and
has virtually assented to the laws now in
force. The treaty OF 1850 declared that 1.-The
government of China agrees that the gov

the legislation under it has been to es-
tablish a complete bar to the immigration
of Chinese laborers. except as they have
been able TO slip into the country by de-
vious ways in violation Of law. as a few
would do in spite OF any law that could be
enacted. The point is that the exclusion

FAIR PLAY FOR AMERICAN
SOLDIERS

Because a few men who were soldiers in
the Philippines have been making state
ments to the Senate committee and writing
letters showing that Filipino prisoners
were treated with extreme cruelty by army
officers and soldiers the sensational news
correspondent are already engaged in ex-
plotting a great scandal upon the assump-
ton that the statements of these unknown
witnesses and writer's of private letters are
facts. No one will declare offhand that
there have not been cases Of cruelty toward
natives who are hostiles. Such cases are
incidents Of most wars. 1t was charged
during the war of the rebellion that both
sides compelled unwilling men 10 be guides
and to give information and were subjected
to punishment to force them TO tell what
they were supposed to know. Moreover,
during that war soldiers, or alleged sol
diers, furnished letters setting forth the
cruelty of officers, and such letters were
printed by anti-war papers. The same class
of stories were sent out about the ickn
in camps during the Spanish-American war.
charging it upon the neglect of the War
Department ana the ineffciency of the vol
unteer officers appointed by the President.
During September, 1898, the sensational
newspapers had the whole country exas-
perated over stories of the neglect of sol
diers who had returned sick from Santiago
to Montauk Point. Columns of such stories
were made and sent out daily by unscrupu-
lous papers in New York. Investigation
followed. and the testimony of officers and
men who were patients made it clear that
the hospital was the most complete i'm it's

The Journal does not ask its readers not
TO give credence 10 the stories of cruelty
to the Filipinos. but simply to suspend
Judgment until an investigation shall be
made and the truth ascertained. They
should also remember that slander-making
is the favorite occupation of some news
papers. Men were paid to create false
hoods about the camps and hospitals of the
Spanish-American war. and they will be
employed to do so again. Do not become

men charged with these cruelties are
Americans. flesh of our flesh, taught
in the same schools we have attended. ac-
customed to the same home influences in
which we nave lived. Cruelty is not an
American trait. These American soldiers,
far away, have a right to a hearing. Their
humanity in the campaign in China was
applauded. Such being the case. fair
minded people will not believe that these
American soldiers have suddenly turned
hends. Americans who insist that Ameri-
cans are the most humane people in the
world will also recall the fact that our SOL
diers have TO deal with a people who,
taught in little else than savagery and
treachery, have committed the most repul-
sive crimes upon Americans and their allies.

END OF THE WAR IN THE PHILIP
PINES

The news from the Philippines is inter-
esting. a dispatch from Manila announces
the unconditional surrender OF the Filipino
General Malvar, with the entire insurgent
force of the provinces of Laguna and Ba-
tangas. These are two OF the thirty-six
provinces in the important Island of Luzon,
where Manila is situated. As General NAL
var has ordered the unconditional surren-
der Of all the force recognizing his COM
mand this means the end Of the insurrec-
ton in Luzon. and practically in the entire
archipelago. 1t is evident that General
Wheaton so CONSTITUTES il. for he reports to
headquarters that all organized resistance
TO the United States in his department has
ended, that the ports Of Luzon will be
opened, and the Filipinos in the detention
camps will be allowed TO return 10 their
homes in time to plant crops Governor
Taft, who is now in St. Louis, is reported
as saying: 1.-THE real war in the islands is
over when thirty provinces are pacifed and
only three remain TO be brought under civil
control. And L doa't expect to see these
three provinces in rebellion very long. Civil
6ONcIiAltHl II a SuttNSo anu Aht WHCA~
archipelago will soon offer a field for Amer
lean enterprise" When Governor Taft
made this statement he had not heard of
the surrender of General Malvar, which
added two more to the list of pacified
provinces in Luzon and leaves only two
with any remains of insurrection. Luzon
is the principal and by far the most inn
portant island in the entire group. with a
population Of $4,000 to 100000. With only
two provinces out of thirty-six in the island
unpacifed, and those easily handled, the
war in the Philippines may be said to be
ended. Events have been tending to this
end very rapidly of late. as during the last
four months no less than $500 rifles have
been surrendered in the two provinces in
which the surrender is now made complete.
In bringing about the last act General
Bell had the efficient aid of a number of
Filipinos who volunteered for the purpose
from the concentration camps, and the dis
patch says they expressed the liveliest
satisfaction at the treatment accorded to
themselves and 10 their families in the
camps" Unless they have an opportunity
TO read some of the Democratic anti-Amer-
lean newspapers published in the United
States they will never know how cruelty
they have been treated. The dispatch says
the people OF Mania ARE delighted at the
prospect of a resumption OF trade with the
pacffed provinces. and are anxious to show
their appreciation OF the fact that the in
surrection is really over" The end crowns
the work. The complete suppression of the
instruction has been a foregone oonclu-
sion from the beginning. yet its accom-
plishment is a triumph Of which patriotic
Americans may we'll feel proud. From this
time on, while there may be a little friction
or local disturbance in particular localities,
there will be no more armed opposition
TO the United States in the Philippines.
The war is ended.

distance and time. This is already a port

which by that time will be an outpost OF
domestic trade. Trade follows the flag. and
civilization is moving around the world

come when the great manufacturers OF
Philadelphia will find it advisable to have
branch concerns in this city in order to
supply the markets Of the Mississippi val
ley and get nearer the Orient.

Canada would not buy a dollars worth
of such products from the farmers of the
United States. while Canada would sell
our cities several million Of dollars worth.
That would not be reciprocity.
A reciprocal treaty was made by the Har-
rison administration with Spain for Cuba.
1t doubled our trade with Cuba the first
year. 1t was repealed by a Democratic
Congress. A reciprocal treaty can now
be made with Cuba. We can reduce the
duty on Cuban sugar. tobacco. fruits and
other products so per cent, and in return
obtain a reduction in Cuba's duties on our
products, which would give to us the
s25,OOO.OO0 worth of general merchandise
now purchased in Europe annually. Both
peoples would be benefited by such a treaty.
That would be reciprocity-the genuine and
only real article.

THE NATIONAL MANUFACTURERS
RECIPROCITY.

The reciprocity which the manufacturers
have Endorsed is that which was declared
by the business men who met in Washing
ton in December. II is reciprocity as de-
fined in the dictionaries a transaction
where an equivalent is received in return
for a like favor extended. 1t is not the
giving OF something for nothing. but some
thing for something. each something to
have a positive value TO the recipient. The
reciprocal treaty negotiated with France,
which is yet in the hands of the Senate,
does not seem to be a trade arrangement
which embraces the element Of reciprocity.
The duties on a large class of goods pro-
duced in sufficient quantities at home are
to be reduced in order that the French pro-
Queer may be a competitor. If these goods
considered in the French treaty were those
which we could not produce in sufficient
quantities to supply the American market,
or were not luxuries, a reduction on the
duty would be ~defensiole. but to cut the
duties on e~arthenware, glass, hosiery and
like goods would mean to give France a
part of the trade now enjoyed by home
producers. IT would mean a decreased pro-
duction in this country. which would mean,
in turn. less employment. For this sacri-
flee we would receive no return. A treaty
which would give to Canada the markets of
the Eastern cities and OF all those on the
northern border for hay. horses, sheep,
vegetables. poultry. eggs and a long list OF
the smaller products of the farm. would
be of immense value to Canada. but a
decided loss to the American farmer in the

The decision reached by the War De-
partment relative to the arsenal grounds
is justiiable on good business as well as
military grounds. Situate in the heart OF
the Central West and accessible from all
directions by rail there is no better point
In the country for a military post than the
near vicinity OF Indianapolis. The arsenal
grounds are too small for the purpose. and
cannot be extended. yet they have a large
money value. IL was not TO be supposed for
a moment that the government would enter
tain the suggestion of giving this valuable
ground for a university. but it can easily
sell II for enough TO purchase several
hundred acres of land near the city and
erect suitable buildings for a permanent
military post. The plan is a good one, prac-
teal in every respect. and needs only the
approval Of Congress to enable the War
Department TO carry it out.
