South Is Cautious.

1t is probable that the South would be
just as cautious regarding Filipinos, and
that its people would not take Filipino
youths into their families. although they
as a race are not held in the disfavor Of
the African. The recent experience Of
the Filipino youths In the public schools
Of New Orleans indicates this. II may
also be noted that the honorary com
missioners from the Philippine Islands
in their recent tour to the United States.
did not visit any Southern city barring
st. Louis, which it was necessary for
them to see.
The F1lipinOs themselves look down
upon the American negroes almost as
much as do the whites here, but a part
OF this may be due to what they have
heard OF the American estimate of the
negro. 1t is thought TO have been a mis-
take TO put a mulattO at the head of
their famous band. but this was done in
the early days Of the civil government,
and before the leaders In the American
movement realized all the race issues
that might be lnvOly ed.
There will be no Filipino boys sent to
ColOred schools here, or 10 institutions
on the border, which are open TO both
races like Howard University, in this
city. Nothing could hurt their feelings
more. 1t is not the purpose of the
American Government 20 suggest In any
way that the race line, 90 relentless N
it's application here, has any application

of the liberties of Finland. Added to
these were his stern repression of re-
forms. his scourging of all who voiced
the idea of liberty, his tyranny to-
ward Poland, and his spoliation of
Armenia
M. Won Plehve had the misfortune
deserved. mOre's the pity-Of being
the man most prominently identified
with the reactiOnary movement which,
following the retirement of NJ. de
Witte, involved Russia in a desperate
war and has already sent her back
full century in the scale of progress.
NJ. Won Plehve's leading associates
in this miserable work were Viceroy
Alexieff. now disgraced and dis
hOnOred, whose only resource lies in
vilifying his former associates; Gen
eTal Kuropatkin, at the present mo-
meat in desperate straits in the field,
practically surrounded by the Japa-
nese. and threatened with annihila-
ton; and NJ Pobiadonostseff, procur-
ator of the Holy Synod, the bigoted
and intolerable spiritual adviser of
the Gar, whose influence over that
unfortunate monarch is supreme but
baneful.
Yet ex-Minister White declares that
he found NJ. Won Plehve, before he be-
came full minister Of the interior.

far as his government allowed him,

The SlOCum Indictments.

Seven men have been indicted as
responsible in some measure for the
burning in New York Harbor of the
excursion steamer General Slocum
and the consequent loss of nearly one
thousand lives. Captain Van Setback,
in charge of the vessel. and United
States Government Inspectors Lund-
berg and Fleming, were indicted for
manslaughter. President Barnaby,
Secretary Atkinson. and Treasurer
Dexter, of the Knickerbocker Steam
boat Company. and Captain Pease,
commodore of the company's fleet,
were indicted for aiding and abet-
ting the captain of the Slocum in
the neglect of his duty"
The indictment of Captain Van
Schaick and the two inspectors is
made under a law which provides for
the punishment of every captain.
engineer, pilot, or other person en-
ployed on any steamboat or vessel. by
whose misconduct. negligence, or in
attention to his duties on such YES
sci the life of any person is destroy
ed, and every owner, inspector. or
other public officer, through whose
fraud, connivance, misconduct. or
violation of the law" life is de-
strOyed.
1t will be noted that while the law
provides for the indictment of amy
owner" it does not provide for the
Indictment or the punishment of the
members of a corporation, which is
e mythical parsonage, and not indict-
able. Consequently. legal opinion is
that the officers of the Knickerbocker
Steamboat Company will go free on
this technicality, and punishment will
be served only on the less responsible
captain and inspectors.
No more shameful commentary up
on the inadequacy of the law could
be had than this. An Italian on the
East Side. of New York, gets drunk
and, in fit Of anger, sticks a knife
into one of his equally drunk com
patriots. The law is aroused into
impressive activity. The murderer
is chased day and night, captured and
jailed, tried and convicted, sent to
the electric chair in Sing Sing, and
buried in an unknown grave The
majesty Of the law has been upheld.
Crime has been punished, and society
has been protected. 1t is well.
The officers Of a corporation, bent
on making money as fast as possible,
permit women and children to sail
on a steamboat inadequately equipped
with devices for saving life in case
of accident, inadequately manned,
and utterly condemned by law, had
the law been enforced as II should
have been. In consequence, one thou
sand persons were murdered. The
men universally recognized as moral
ly responsible for those deaths seem
likely to escape with only nominal
inconvenience and a little unpleas-
ant notoriety.
What sort of justice is that? From
whom does the public need to be pro-
tected the mOre-from an ignorant,
drunken italian, killing one of his
countrymen, or from a coterie of cor
Doration-hedged, solid citizens, who
wantonly risk human lives, and ac-
tually destroy the lives Of one thou
sand women and children, by their
ignoble methods of increasing the
size of their dividends?
