TUESDAY EVENING. MAR. /. 1904.

SEVERAL years ago we heard ofschemes
concerning benevolent assimilation when
the United States started on its conquest
of the Philippine Islands. Many WIS.,
;onaries ran wild With the notion that
all that the government need do was to
null down the Spanish flag and hoist the
Stars and Strips and millennium on
small scale would follow. The Filipi-
nos who we're at the time endeavorlng
to throw off the Spanish yoke, were, OF
course, not disposed to exchange the
sbackles of one country for those OF
another, and while the Spaniards were
eyacuating the islands the natives found
themselves confronted by other foreign
ers. The Filipinos, very naturally, took
issue with the invaders and there has
been more or less bloodshed aud dissatls-
faction ever since. As was stated yes
terday, General Wood IN olspaVcn iroin
Manila announces the practical exterml'
nation of Hassan's army. His original
force of g, 900 has now been reduced to
IS, the Others having been killed. The
general says "the island is now under
control of the American authorities,
and influential Moros are aiding in the
pursuit of the outlaws" The benevo-
lent assimilation dreamed of by deluded
people seems to have ended practically
in bloody determination, and the natives
who have had the sudscity to resist the
invaders are termed "outlaws" by the
American general.

Revolt in Africa.

The native troops in the Cross and

THE District of Columbia Commas
sioners yesterday asked Congress to APP
propriate Immediately s., 600 to be
devoted to clearing the Potomac river OF
ice. They point out in their communl-
cation that the $1,000 appropriated Tor
this purpose in the middle Of January Is
exhausted, and that the ice above the
Aqueduct bridge is as threatening as
ever to life and property along the river
front. This is, Sof course, but another
scheme to get money from the public
treasury for the benefit of certain boat
owners. There has not been a minute
this year when there was danger from
ice to life or property at Washington,
and the S., 900 appropriated had much
better been given to the poor than used
to break ice which was gradually being
melted and carried away. Another APP
preparation would be useless waste OF
the peoples money.

The British Navy.

In introducing the naval estimates in
the House of Commons yesterday Ernest
G. Prettyman, Secretary of the Admiral
ity, justified the increase in the estim ates
on the ground that the two-power stand
ard must be maintained. The Russian
battleship programme, as we'll as the pro-
gramme OF the other friendly naval pow
ers had been taken into consideration in
framing the estimates. Secretary Pretty
man, referring to the great improvement
in shooting in the British navy, instanced
the British armored cruiser Leviathan,
which, steaming at twelve knots, fired
ten rounds from her 9-2-inch guns in
two minutes, and hit fourteen by TWEEN
ty foot target ten times at range of two
thousand yards. In discussing further
the two-power standard, he Secretary
said that Russia and France together had
built or were building sixty-four first and
second class battleships, and France and
Germany combined we're building or had
built si1ty-one battleships, while the
British total was sixty-three battleships.
So Great Britain was close up to the two
powers standard.

1T Is remembered that some years
since Martin Irons was a prominent
leader in the labor world, but he went
wrong, lost caste with those who had
advanced him and finally died in a poor
house. More recently Sam Parks, of
New York, who by his arbitrary methods
was a terror to both employe and en-
plOyer, was convicted of bribery and
of rObbing his fellow workmen and was
sent to the penitentiary. These men
were admittedly dishonest, but no such
charge was ever made against John
Mitchell still at a meeting of the labor
lyceum in Buffalo yesterday he was
branded faker and traitor. Mr.. Mitch
ell is the head of probably the largest
organization in the world, and it is to be
hoped that the charges are without
foundation.

THERE is not public interestinyolved
in the proposition to give American ship
owners a monopoly Of the Philippine
business, except on the theory that it is
a public interest to enable some Amer
leans to make more money than they
would otherwise. If, says the Philadel-
phia Record, the money were to be made
out of foreigners, this proposition might
be sustained, but much Of the money
that Americans would make would be
taken from other Americans. A large
part of the time of Congress and its COM
mittees is taken up in trying to decide
how far to allow one set Of Americans to
prey upon some other set. That has
come to be regarded as the chieffunction
Of the government. So far as public
interests are affected-the interests OF
the government or of the people as a
whole-they are on the side Of an open
field and natural competition.

and former Governor Of the Philippines,

of making them good and useful citizens
is first to make them good Catholics.
This was the very quintessence OF irony
for every man at the dinner had read IN
the evening papers that out OF a force OF
3. 900 Filipinos Governor Wood had just
killed all but fifteen Of the unfortunate
natives. The administration seems to
act on the principle that the only good
Filipinos are dead Filipinos, and if this
thing is kept up much longer there Will
be none of them left to be made either
good Catholics or good and useful c'tl'
zens. Ifit is General Woods intention
to continue killing these poor unfortu-
nate natives until he is made a MAJOR
general, for their sakes his appointment
had better be confirmed at once.
