Trove or Be Still.
If. Dr. Swallow has evidence of of
ficial malfeasance which Is proper for
the inspection of the attorney general
of Pennsylvania, let him put It In legal
form, make duplicate copies of the
sworn testimony and present his In
formation to lion. Henry O. Mci.'or
mick. If the latter shall then fall to
act upon It ns required by law. Dr.
Swallow with his duplicate copies will
have a prima facie case to put Uefoie
tho people and he can go to them with
confidence that they will" give him an
attentive hearing.
As it Is now, Dr. Swallow simply
asserts things and asks the people of
Pennsylvania to give to his uncorrob
orated assertions tho credence duo to
established truth. In this attitude he
npparcntly forgets that his recent con
viction In open court for the utterance
of libel throws strong suspicion upon
the value of his unsupported word.
In spite of tho fuss which Is being
made In his behalf by an organization
of vindictive Republicans carrying out
a programme of factional revenge the
people have not overlooked the fact
that the reverend doctor, himself a
peddler of nauseating scandal and an
Intemperate mallgner of public men,
fctnnds before them bearing the stigma
of a legal conviction for one of the
meanest of crimes the crime of trying
to rob an innocent man of his reputa
tion. There may be some persons In Penn
sylvania of naturally suspicious temp
erament who are willing to believe
this wholesale accuser without desir
ing due and orderly proof that what
he charges Is true; but they are not In
the majority by any manner of means.
To secure a following which will be of
substantial consequence he must do
more than fire off rapid-lire volleys of
vituperation; he must substantiate
those attacks In court.
As the days roll by it becomes more
and more apparent that conducting a
war Is like publishing a newspaper
easy for the fellows who are looking on.
Theodore Roosevelt.
The honor which hns come to Theo
dore Roosevelt from the Republicans
of his native state an honor likely to
be ratified by the people at the polls
by a majority phenomenal In Its Im
presKlveness Is peculiarly agreeable to
the best chic sentiment of the coun
try because it offers timely proof that
the new responsibilities Into which the
republic Is Just entering are going to
uplift Into public olllce a purer ami
more courageous class of men. Of these
men Roosevelt Is a type.
Since the moment of his entry, at the
age of 23 years, Into public life lie has
stood unwaveringly In support or high
principles of conduct. He has been
honest, he has been brave, he has been
true to his convictions, whether In
being bo he won, at the time, applause
or censure. It would bo too much to
affirm that he has made no mistakes;
a nature so earnest, so positive, bo ag
gressive aa his Is pretty sure to make
these. Rut the notable thing about him
from tho very tlrst has heen his up and
down and nil-round manliness. No man
can point to an act by him which hint
ed at corruption or scandal; no man
can sustain a charge that he has ever
truckled to special interests or to the
mob. His time, his talents, his private
fortune and his splendid moral and
physical courage have ever been at the
disposal of the public welfare nhso.
lutelyas brave old Ucneral Wlmeler,
himself a Democrat, aid of Roosevelt,
"he Is without exception the most un
compromisingly sincere man I ever
met."
The mistakes of such a man are for
Klvablc; with years and experience
tlu-y will decrease. The Bfttn In his
elevntlnn to high olllce Is In the assur
nnce which It rIvck that, tifter nil, tho

Information From Manila.
Says Mil rat Halstead. who has Just
returned from Manila: "The country
highly nnd In a sense handsomely nnd
with excessive zeal as It appreciates
Admiral Dewey, does not apprehend
the full extent of Its Indebtedness to
him tin not heard the whole story
of the slender threads his will made
stiong as Iron chains does not know
fully of the ceaseless vigilance with
which tor months he has done his
duty, the Incessant cale with which
he personally has watched every night
nnd all night, that no barm might come
to his beloved ships, until he Is no
longer able' to get more than short
naps of sleep, save In the daylight,
when he turns In for slumber after
dinner, and thus be gets his rest of
lcstoration from day to day."
Regarding the attitude of the Ger
man naval ollkials at Manila he says:
"The conduct of the Germans Jias been
In strong contrast with that of the
KliRlish, who have been friendly and
are In the most nmlabie relations with
our people. The Germans have never
given the ordinary courtesies of salu
tation, while the Ungllsh recognize Ma
nila bay as an American port. Thev
put up the Stars and Stripes on the
foremast as they come in. The Ger
mans had four ships of war and a gun
boat or two. nnd were very obtrusive
and ostentatious did not respect the
blockade, allowed a swarm of their of
flceis ashore, who were sympathetic
with Spaniards, and proposed to land
marines to protect foreign property
thai Is to say, several German brew
eries nnd other business houses. There
the American admiral drew the line
and said to the ling lieutenant of the
German admiral the most olllclal way
of saying If. 'Docs your country pro
pose to start a war here with my coun
try? If so we can go at It In live min
utes.' The words In quotation marks
ate precisely those used. The reply
was a prompt denial In strong terms
of warlike purposes."
With respect to the opinions o
Dewey, Merritt and the other Ameri
can olllcials at Manila concerning the
future of the Philippines, Mr. Halstead
reflects them In these words: "There
has been a revolution in fhlna a re
actionary revolution and It Is an Inci
dent of the tendency of China, to be ut
terly submissive to Russia. It Is un
questionably a challenge to the com
mercial and political interests of lCng
land on the Pacific ocean side of Amer
ica. It ought to signalize to us the
importance of our Philippine posses
sions and to emphasize our excellent
understanding with Kngland. If Rus
sia becomes supreme in China and she
Is moving with gigantic strides she
can organize an army of T,000,000 men
out of the 100,000,000 of the Chinese
population, nnd the czar can bestride
the globe. The Philippines nre simply
the greatest 'find' of the age, and our
republican empire Is one of peace and
good will to men."
Asked if there Is danger of war be
tween the T'nlted States and the PhlU
Ipplne Insurgents, Mr. Halstead re
plies: "Not If we proceed firmly and
peacefully. If the meiicans stay
and It Is known absolutely that they
will that wipes out at a stroke all the
grievances of the Filipinos, all that
was asked for by Agulnaldo nnd Ills
followers, except giving them all the
power. It Is tho ease of Cuba over
again. As against Americans, the Fil
ipinos could organize only personal
factions. The hold of Agulnaldo Is, as
he told me, so precarious that he must
refer constantly to his counselors The
people of the Islands would fall by the
attraction of political gravitation into
the hands of the United States under
American administration In the Is
lands. Give the assurance of American
government, secularize the otllces of
tho priests, exclude them from politics,
send home the Spanish soldiers und
Spanish priests, and there will be spon
taneously order, peace nnd good times,
and the Islanders will come to us, Per
manent merlcun occupation will keep
the peace. It Is the abandonment of
the Philippines that would make war
In tho Islands and perhaps Involve
great nations."
The foregoing expressions which we
extract from a long interview with Mr.
Halstead published In the Chicago
Itecord are valuable as coming from an
observant American who has made a
personul study of the Phllipplno situa
tion. They undoubtedly presage reten
tion liy this country of tho whole Phil
ippine archipelago.
Thero seems to have been no more
doubt at Saratoga than at Santiago as
to Colonel Roosevelt's citizenship.
A Study of Ciime.
Some months ago attention was di
rected on this pugd to u series of ar
ticles appearing In Town Topics from
the pen of Hon. Jospeh Deuel, a police
magistrate of New York city, tho pur
port of which went to prove from sta
tistics (fathered from tho police records
In that city, that crime, in proportion
to the population, la not on tho Increase
hut, on the contrary. Is decreasing
steadily and with appreciable rapidity.
Tho last Issue of Town Topics contains
the concluding paper of the aeries,
which liiibodica a. statistical table
showing the fluctuation In recorded
crimes for the entire century.
This table groups all offenses under
six headings: those mala In se, 1, c, In
volving moral turpitude (as for Ill
stance, murder, rape, mayhem, lar
ceny, burglary, arson, forgery, embez
zlement, perjury, public Indecency,
conspiracy, etc.,) known In the table
ns Group A; assault nnd battery cases,
which may or may not Include moral
turpitude, known ns Group II: disorder
ly conduct, known us Group i'; Intox
ication, known ns Group D, vagrancy,
known as Group 13; and "nil other
charges" (Including cases of disobe
dience of statutes not Included In the
foregoing divisions) known as Group
F. The figures given are the number
of arrests per 1,000 of population. With
this explanation we leproduee the
table:

Study of this table, with remem
brance of the fact that every year
witnesses greater etlltiency In the de
tection of criminals and that muny
things are nowadays considered
grounds for arrest which years ago
were passed by unnoticed, leaves no
other conclusion than thnt civilization
Is gradually acquiring the mastery
over the tendency toward serious
crimes. In only three of the six
groups hns there been a gradual
increase: disorderly conduct, Intoxica
tion und miscellaneous; nnd this Is
more apparent than real, being due
to the fact that arrests for these of
fenses Is more frequent today, In pro
portion to tho total number of such
offenses, than formerly. The decrease
In arrests for offenses male in se has
occurred not because more of these
offenses In late years has gone un
punished that formerly but because In
proportion to population the offenses
themselves have been fewer.
We have no doubt that what is true
with respect to New York city (to
which alone the foregoing figures re
fer) Is broadly true of the country
at large. Mankind Is not going down
ward In the moral scale, but upward.
Pessimism rests on a basis of morbid
fancy not upon one of fact.
It Is evident from Governor Hast
ings' letter to State Chairman Klkln
consenting to make a number of
speeches for the Republican state
ticket that the governor does not ap
prove the party disruption programme
of Mr. Wanainaker and nllles. The
governor hns had his disappointments,
too, and piobably felt them Just as
keenly as Mr. Wanainaker has felt his;
but the governor Is too true a Republi
can and too fair-minded a man lo vent
personal grievances at the expense of
party welfare. He Is content to do
his lighting within party lines.

Uncle Sam's Diify
Regarding Ltizon.
From the PhlU'ielphla Pre&s.
THE renresuitatlves of Agulnaldo
and the Tagals who are now in
Washington before they return
will undoubtedly be convinced tint
neither the sovernment nor the
the people of the Faltcd States has any
purpose or policy In Manila or Luzon ex
cept to secure tho largest conmicrcl.il
prosperity for the Island and the largest
practicable measure uf selt-governm "lit
possible for Its Inhabitants. If Spain had
thus governed Its colonial empire war
would nev-r have come, nnd Manila is to
day In the hands of tho I tilted States,
first and chiefly because Spain l'eluseu
to follow these two sound principles In Its
colonial admlnlsttatlon.
o
The Fnltcd States Is bound, In passlig
on the claim presented by Aguinaluo ami
his armed forces, to usk not whether this
special body and oiganlzatlon. holding
part of Luzon ami by race representing a
still smaller part of Its population, dcsiies
"Independence." but what Is best for Ma
nila nnd Its Inhabitants and for Luzon
and Its score of contesting and conflict
ing tribes. It would doubtless suit the
Tagals to have the Island turned over to
them on the ground that they and they
alone, are "Filipinos"; but. in fact, they
are not. A large Chinese, Malay and mer
cantile population has to bo considered In
Manila all ot which Is opposed to Tuk.ii
rule and dreads Its appearance. Outside
of the relatively narrojy limits or the
Tagal district, there are coast and Inte
rior Malay tribes negtltos on the noith
east coast, and In the Interior muny sip
urate tribes, each with Its own Independ
ent claim to manage Its own affairs.
o
For all these opposed and hostile inter,
csts the Vnlted States Is, for a season,
and, when tho treaty of peace Is signed,
will, In all probability, permunentlj be
come, guardian and trustee. It 1ms no
light to subject the interests of a largo
Industrious and orderly Chinese colony
In Manila to the oppression which sucn
colonies have uniformly received in Sing,
apore. In Penaug and Malaysia, In Jahoro
and Sarawak, from Mnlny and scml-Ma
lay rule, such as the Tucals would un
doubtedly establish, because men ot
closely similar race and development
havu always dono so elsewhere. The re
moval of a superior civilized forco would
undoubtedly turn the upper tlilul ot
Luzon Into a hotbed ot tribal wars. Tnko
away the protection afforded hy gun
boats nnd Malav pirates trom Palawan
and tfto Sulil Islands, would begin again
the raids which In the past drove I ho In.
dustrluus farming coast population of
Mindoro Into tho Interior und destroyed
tho trade and production or tho Inland,
o
Tho plain duty of tho t'nltcd States ts
to keei) tho peace between these races and
promoto tho prosperity of all and tho le.
volopment of each, Under these condi
tions, with a population a huge share or
which Is below tho level of the Mexican
peon, part below tho Digger Indian nu.l
none with any Ideu of oelf-governmeiit
abovo Agulnaldo's gold-nhlMln and gold
collar sovereignty, It Is Impossible to
think of Luzon as either In training tor
a stato or ready for Independence.
France islvcs such Islands rcprcacntuttuu
at Paris In the chamber of deputies, wttn
the result that French colonics are fail
ures. They have become pat I of French
polities' and nre run as u political ma
chine. u
Tho Fnltcd States bus a better example
In Great tlrltaln, If Kimhtnd held Luxou
a soldier of much tho type nnd charac
ter' of General Merritt or General Utts
would bo Kent theio to become governor.
For Manila a local council would bo or
ganized, on which would, be represented
European and Chinese merchants, Mo
hammedan Malays and Christian Tagals.
The Tasal district and Its jnovllfcs
would be given n larger measure of srlt
government than less developed races,
mid each decade would see this grow.
The various lesa civilized tribes w-iuld
each be left to iiihiiiiko their own altnli.
but required to keep the peace. A small
English narrlsou of e.OOO to (i.aiM men
would bold Manila and be supported by
Its customs r venue. A native force of
Tagals and Malays, smart, well armed,
well paid ami well disciplined, with
English utile eiii, would be organized :u
once, and the local government would
support 11. Parliament would not be
nMcd to appropriate a penny for
the Island unless war came, and It would
pass no statutes for lt people, but leave
their laws to be developed by the neeis
of each.
u -
This f the model for the t'nltcd States
to follow: Luzon should be treated not
us a "territory" but as a "colonv." it
Fhould be prepaied not for ti.lmlslon as a
Mate but for the solution of Hie moie Im
mediate problem of local sell. ko em
inent. The government at Washington
has now till the authority It needs to or
ganize a local military force with Amer
ican olllccrs and pay for It out ot local
iievenucs, to begin local administration
and to stint both Luron nnd Manila on
the road toward peace, prosperity and lo
cal self-government.
RELIEF DEMANDED.
From the Philadelphia Pies.".
The grand Jury, In Us llnal return he.
fote the Lackawanna county court on
Monday, repotted that thetc wen tlj true
and "Sj Ignored bills comprised In their
work, and exprtssed regtet that the law
did not permit them, In many cases, to
place the costs upon aldermen hv ho per
sist In sending unimportant cases to court
for consideration.
Reform legislation with regard to th
bringing ot cases before aldermen or .1us.
tlccs of the jicace Is badly needed in
Pennsylvania The enormity of the com.
men wealth's costs In the appropriations
made by the commlssloneis in the re
spective counties of the state is arousing
the collect u of ofllcials and citizens gener
ally. Couit alter coiltt there is censure
of local magistrates for sending petty
cases to court, and yet nothing Is done,
and the costs are generally Imposed on
the taxpayers. Suggestion has been made
to place the costs on the offending Jus
tices, but the law points out no way In
which this can he done.
It Is patent that there are but one of
two reasons why sonic of the Justices of
tho peace transuress in this parttculut
either to secure trom the county the costs
that accrue us a result of such prosecu
tions, or because of a lick of legal know,
ledge of what constitutes an Indictable
offense. It would seem, therefore, ns
though the state law bearing on local
magistrates should be so revised us to
direct that In towns of J."00 population
and upward only those learned In the
law should be qtmlltled for the responsi
bilities of a magistrate one thing Is cer
tain, the placing of costs upon the tax
payers for so many ignored bills Is un
just, and calls for such lefonns as are
needed to afford necessary rilef.

1'tom the Churchman.
An Interesting point has recently been
decided by Judge 11. M. Edwards, ot
Scrantcn, Pcnii., In regard to tho reading
of the Ulhle In the public schools. Legal
proceedings had been tuken to prevent
the principal ot the school at Wavcrly
from reading the lilble to tho students.
Judge Edwards decides that "The read
ing of the Bible In the public schools mav
be allowed, and even commended, trom a
standpoint which does not Involve the
question of sectarian Instruction nor the
rights of conscience. It Is conceded ly
men of all creeds that the Hlble teachos
the highest morality, upart from religious
instruction. It must be admitted that
sound morality Is one of the foundations
of good character. An education which
does not Involve the Inculcation of moral
principles Is Incomplete. And why can
not the common precepts of morality be
taught by the reading of the Uible bet'er
than in any other way?')
The prayer that Christian rulers and
magistrates may have grace "to exeiuto
Justice and to maintain truth" appears
to have not heen offered in vain at Scran
