The killing of a band Of Moro out
laws near Jolo has been heralded by
the anti-imperialistic press as further
evidence Of American tyranny in the
Philippines. This representation Of the
unfortunate incident does not conform
to the facts in the case. Here are the
facts:
These Moro outlaws were plain, or
binary everyday brigands. They had
harried. robbed and plundered not
merely Americans, but their fellow
countrymen. They had defied and re-
sisted the authority of the Sultan Of
Jolo as well as all lawful authority.
whether Sulu or American. They had
established themselves in almost impen-
etrable fortress (the crater of an ex-
tinct volcano). and there defied both
native and American forces. Their at
titude made it not Il question OF sub
mission to American rule, but a ques-
ton Of regard for any rule at all, and
for the peace and safety Of the Moro
people The band was exterminated
because it could not be captured, and
-
killed. no because its members were
patriots resisting invasion of their
country. but because they were outlaws
pure and simple.
The suppression OF crime Is often at-
tended with unpleasant circumstances,
especially when crime is of a violent
and defiant nature. This has been the
case in our osn country In which the
MOdocs were almost entirely extermi-
mated and the Apaches and Sioux were
seriously depleted in numbers 1t has
been the case In Africa where the Der
wishes Of the Soudan have beer slaugh-
tered, and in the Malays where head
hunters have been slain by hundreds.
1t will always be the case where such
criminals have to be handled, and there
is afforded no occasion whatever by
this incident in Jolo, for our antrim
perialistic friends to raise the cry of
American tyranny.
1t is just such incidents as this
slaughter of Moro outlaws that are
seized upon by the opponents of An.eri
a occupancy of the Philippines TO sup
port their arguments against govern
ment policies there. And such unfor-
tunate selection appears not to injure
the Government sc much at home as it
does in the Philippines themselves.
where a lower order Of intelligence is
unable to discriminate much less to dis
sect It was said Of the late Edward
Atkinson, and with more or less truth,
that his criticism of American policy
In the Philippines cost more lives there
than the policies themselves. The same
may be true of his successors IL they
continue their present attitude.

We find the following incident of
genuine humanity In the correspond
ence Of the Detroit Free Press, and
commend 1t as touchingly significant
of the good feeling existing between
the military people Of the North and
South, occurring recently at Mobile,
Ala. A general of the United States
army was on his way from Arizona to
New York, where he purposed entering
a surgical college to Lave a difficult
operation performed. As the train
bearing him approached Mobile, his
aide saw that he was becoming very
i'll, and telegraphed ahead for assist
ance to convey him to a hospital. DIR.
Hutton. the medical superintendent Of
the Marine Hospital, was at the depot
with attendants and a carriage. The
invalid was comfortably placed in 1t
with the g~entlest and most assiduous
attention, but he died within sight Of
the building, a stranger in a strange
land.
The next day DR.. Hutton, who will
be remembered as a former Detroiter,
telegraphed to the family Of the dead
officer In Arizona for instructions as
to the disposal of the remains, and re-
ceived in reply:
Bury him where he died"
As soon as the Mobile Rifles had
heard that
"A soldier Of the legion
Lay dying in .Algiers,"
they hastened to his help. But he was
already dead, and 1t only remained for
them to do honor to his memory. This
they did by taking upon themselves
the performance Of the last sad rites;
as though the dead stranger had been
one of their own comrades. They car
ried him, draped him with flags, to the
National Cemetery, and gave him all
the honors OF a military burial. In
the afternoon Of one of the hottest days
Of the Southern summer they marched
In procession over two miles of dusty
road. and rs the sun went down fred
a farewell shot over the generals
grave. Then covering him with 6ow-
ers, they left him in the peaceful biv-
ouac Of the dead.
The deceased soldier was a Philadel-
phian, and when the mayor Of Philadel-
phia heard of the "brotherly love" Of
the Mobile Rifles, he sent them an auto
graph letter of thanks, accompanied by
a beautiful floral tribute.
Surely this little incident is an ear
nest of united interests. and a proof
that ever and always,
"The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring"

STEEL RAILWAY CARS.

structibility of the steel railway car. a col
lision was arranged and the cars survived
YSoN6o0kH the force of an impact delivered at a speed
uH@J<&SI of forty miles an hour. OF conrse, an actual
- collision under ordinary conditions might
have produced different results, but the experiment
proved two things at least: First, that the steel car will
bear a tremendous shock without breaking up, and Sec
ond, that 1t presents far less inhammable surface 20
feed the fire that so frequently follows in the wake of a
wreck. The Erie Railway Company has built a steel
car for the accommodation of mail clerks. whose usual
position In the first section of an express train is almost
as perilous as that of the fireman and the engineer In
the cab. Other railway companies are quite likely TO
follow the Fries example at once, and in the course OF
time we will see the steel car employed as universally on
trunk lines as it Is to-day in the New York subway. Tie
change will greatly reduce the loss of life annually cred
tied to collisions. and while the Initial expense to the
transportation companies will be heavy they will derive
a profit from the longer life and the greater structural
stability Of the steel car and also from the reduction In
the number of damage suits due to accidents. The steel
car cannot be made strong enough to resist perfectly the
strain Of all collisions. but 1t will not telescope as read
lily as the wooden car. and while it may crumple some
what under terrific pressure. 1t cannot splinter. These
two advantages make its ultimate adoption everywhere a
ertainty.-Brookly Eagle.
