ment or exaggerating its delinquencies for po-
hi1eal effect The growing insecurity Of life
and property is a matter OF record confirmed
in many instances by general observation. and
the record is Tar from complete. ''The Herald"
asserts that more than forty robbeTfes have
been committed within a month Of which no
Official report has been made. The statement
is heard on every hand that piekpOckets have
not been so active and so unhampered for many
years as they are to-day We believe the tally
Of recent murders for which nobody has been
arrested is now twelve. Competent testimony
proves that the hideous activities which more
than anything else damned Van Wyck's admin
istration have been revived on the East Side.
The seriousness Of the conditions with which
the authorities have TO deal is nowhere denied.

THE WAR. PAST AND FUTURE.

Russians, we arc told, are disappointed, but
resolute. They reluctantly admit that thus far
the tide Of war has been against them. but they
recall that every tide has a turning They have
been beaten this year, and there is now 10 hope
Of retrieving their losses until another year
1t may be next year, or the year after, or one
stlll further in the future But for the coming
of that year of triumph they look with unfailing
confidence. For the present there is nothing TO
do but 10 wait and to prepare. Port Arthur
will probably fall 1t does not seem possible
that it can hold out through the winter There
may or may not be one more battle iu Manchu-
ria Kuropatkin will retreat at least to Tie
Ling, perhaps TO kirin, probably to Harbin.
The Japanese will rest at MOukden. Vladivos.
tok- will be icebOund. Thus, according to rea-
sOnable antcipations the beIgerents will rest
until next spring For no sane man who knows
that country looks for a winter campaign in
Central or Northern Manchuria
What, then, are the net results of the first
year of the war? The Russians have lost-or
will have lost. when Port Arthur falls-the
whole of Manchuria up to AIoukden the entire
coast south of VladivostOk and the best part of
their feet in Asian waters. They began the war
with boast that they would drive the Japan
ese into the sea Instead, they themselves have
been driven back from tho sea, out of a land
OF which they had for years had sole and com.
piete control. Gid the fact as you will with the
glory of dogged resistance and shrowd strategy
that have saved retreat from being rout the
fact remains unchanged Defeat is defeat and
retreat is retreat; and the whole Russian army
under Russla's best general has been defeated
and has been driven to retreat at least hum
dred and fifty miles and perhaps much further.
The net result of six months war with de-
spised foe has been disaster No wonder the
Russians are disappointed 1t speaks much for
their manhood and courage that they are not
despairing. In rising from the dust and facing
the future with confident resolution. Russia vim

New-York tribune., 1904-09-19

It may be asserted without fear of successful
contradiction that nowhere else In recent years
has there been as fine example OF eonstrue-
tive statesmanship and wise and upright admin
istration as has been given by the civil au-
thoritiss, aided by the army, in the Philippine
Islands. We have administered them IN tho
interest of their own people; and the FiliPinoS
themselves have profted most by our presence
in the islands; but they have also been OF very
great advantage to US as a nation. So far from
having "sapped the foundations" Of free popu-
lar government at homo by the course taken in
the Philippines, we have been spreading its
knowledge, and teaching its practice, among
peoples to whom it had never before been moro
than an empty name.-(President Roosevelt.
