Turkish commander offered to let the women

the Nallaehian women and children some of
whose husbands end fathers they had murdered
and most OF whom they had robbed. should re-

sneaked away and took TO the woods, leaving

TIE PHILIPPINE GOVERNORsHIP.

The selection Of Vice-Covernor Wright TO sue
ceed Governor General Taft in the Philippines
was generally expected, but it is none the less
welcome for several reasons. First, he is ex-
perienced and can be trusted to carry on the
good policies which as a member OF the Philip
pine Commission be has had share in develop
ing. In the absence of Governor Taft he has al
ready been placed at the head of the Philippine
government for considerable periods, and 'e is
respected and liked by the Filipinos With his
succession there will be no break in the con-
tiuuity OF our administration in the Philippines,
and that is important not merely because of the
excellent work which has been done, but also
because in a formative period. when dealing
with strange peoples, frmpess and steadiness
are more essential even than the complete
avoidance Of mistakes.
Another reason for satisfaction in the selec-
ton Of Governor Wright is the fact that he is
Democrat. In the administration Of our depen-
denotes all partisanship should be avoided. The
insular service should be recruited as the army
and navy are, without any regard to parties,
and men IN 1t should do their duty 10 their coun-
try without any thought Of promoting domestic
party interests. There may be great questions
of national policy concerning the dependencies,
such as their acquisition at all, the character
OF the government TO be established in them,
that are legitimate matters OF party difference,
Just as there may be difference about declaring
q war or making peace. But, the policy once
determined the agents who carry it out should
be no more partisans than the generals who
fight battles whether they think the war wise
or not II is good. then. TO find a Republican
administration picking out for promotion TO the
highest place in the insular service, simply on
the ground of his fitness, a lifelong Democrat
It IS also good TO End such a Democrat entering
heartily into the work of making a success of
American rule IN the archipelago without stop
ping to ask whether the government at Wash
ington which marks out his broad lines Of policy
IS for the moment conducted by Republicans or
Democrats This is the practical way Of taking
the Philippines out of politics and insuring the
determination Of questions affecting them on
their merits
Several times since 1898 the people have voted
their approval of the Treaty of Paris and the
Republican policy Of holding the territory ac-
auired and governing it for the benefit Of its in
hRbitants without Incorporating them, in their
ignorance and present unfifness for selfgovern-
ment in the United States. with a prospective
claim 10 q share in governing us and determin-
ing our national destiny. Those initial ques-
tons being settled there IS no longer reason for
party difference about the administration OF af-
fairs at Manila. Democrats and Republicans
putting aside other differences, should unite to

TILE EtELn OF HONOR.

The duel seems to be an institution in Ger
many which the Kaiser is unable to abolish. On
several occasions recently when question OF
honor" made it necessary for one officer to kill
another the military authorities have expressed
their disapproval of the deed and have taken
occasion TO speak of the Kaisers wish that
there should be no more duelling in the army.
The fact that these meetings still take place
shows that the highest authorities wink at the
duel or that the officers settle their affairs OF
honor" in the way which suits them best, de-
spite the protests and responsiveness OF their
superiors.
OnIy a few weeks ago an ensign IN the Ger
man Navy killed q young artilleryman at Essen
because he fancied that the landsman, who had
been his classmate and friend, had not saluted
him properly. The ruffian who shed his
friends blood to defend his honor was tried
and sentenced to four years imprisonment.
The sentence was reduced to two years and
seven days imprisonment. Now comes the
news that the reduced sentence has been
uuashed and a new trial ordered, and this in
the face Of protests from the highest sources
against duelling.
4 few days ago one lieutenant killed another
in a duel near Berlin because of joke at fare
we'll dinner which was given to fellow officer.
There was time when it would have been
did so invited the sneers and the enmity of his
fellow citizens In those days the offence of the
German ruffian who killed his schoolmate
would have gone UNPUBLISHED, and the men who
killed their adversaries on the duelling ground
were looked upon as heroes. But to-day, no
matter if the killing is done in Germany or III
America, if the man who does it wears the
ordinary garb Of a private citizen or the gilt
tering uniform Of an officer OF the Royal Guard,
the crime is murder, and the official, civil or
military, who encourages it is a participant in
the crime Until men like the officer who killed
his colurade are brought to trial and properly
punished the world will have little faith in the
sincerity of royal and military opposition to
the duel
The sphere of mans activity in the honest
pusut Of happiness is the field of honor of
the present time. The duelling ground has no
claim to the title.

soldiers Infatuated at the escape of their foes
and having the lust of slaughter fully aroused,
ravished and plundered and slaughtered at
will.
Now. it is impossible to find excuses for such
conduct on the part Of the Turks. No language
can toe strongly express the horror and de-
testation of il which the whole civilized world
should feel But, then. neither is the conduct
of the Bulgars to be condoned. 1t was coward
ly. savage and criminal in the extreme In or
der to promote their campaign against the
Turks the Bulgars attacked the Wallachan
town. massacred and plundered its people, and
then delivered its women and children over TO
the wrath of the Turks. That is the sort OF
thing that justly alienates the sympathies OF
the world from the BuIgars and demonstrates
the necessity of some other than Bulgarian rule
in Macedonia as n substitute for Turkish mis-
TuIe
