Dereliction In public duty is not to lip ndressed by calumny." A Timely Decision. The lecent decision of Judge Wood uaid that thp Salvation army has no more right than any ordinary collec tion of persons to violate tho city oid inance against the making of annojinir noises upon the public sttoet accoids with common sense. The Judge polite ly lematked, in effect, that while the court had no part in doctrines, faiths of fornib of teliglous worship it could nit grant to one class nnd withhold fiom other classes of citizens exemp ts n from tho penalty for clear viola tion of municipal law. Tho decision ought to be studied in every city in America. It roatlss a necessary step toward tho relegation to the tear of foolish abuses in Chris tian evangelization. Tho b.T-s tliuin method of drawing attention to telig lous activities Is not an essential. It can bo spared without weakening tho real good that is done by sif-h oigan izations ns tho Salvation aimy. And It will bo a. distinct gain to public peace and to public older when the ltffon is leauud In our leading cities th:t tho livery of lellgion entries with it no special license to make public illstutbances and dliegatd public nchts. Wliatovei political Hlcrnillcanco at taches lo tho dinniatlo jeslgnatlon of Judce Gordon, ot Philadelphia, and Its prompt nceeptnnio by fiovctnor Ilnst Iiikh, It will be gonornlly admitted that his retliemitit from the bench is a i.'ood thing tot tho betv h. Jiiltre Gor don is a man of lullllant ability and t-'ond scholatshlp but he has not iho ill. st m intlllii of the Judicial tempera ment. He is obHtin.ite, opinionated and Ineui.'bly vlndlotivo: the placo lor him Is In tho ranks among the fiqhtois. The Cuban At my. According to General Joso Guinea, one of the Cuban eommlssloneis In this tountiy, he and his colleagues aio desirous of securing such iccog nltlon Irom Pieshlent JIcKlnley as will give them authoiity to borrow money as repiesentutlves of the Cuban peo ple. Ono of tho gieatest difficulties In the vay of disbanding tho Cuban aimy Is that .the soldleis have never been paid, itVvvas promised them on enlist ment that thoy should have UO a month, und now that the war is over a gieat sum I owing to them. If they nto sent to their homes, vvheie their families aie htaivlng, without any money, tho leadeis of the army feil that much bitterness is tsure to OllkllO. "Wo can never pnsuude thorn," said General Gomez, In the ionise of an Interview In tho Now York Sun, "that the oillccrs have not stolen the money. They havo seen tho Spaniards do this and they will suspect us We will certainly lose loso our authority ovor them and tnuny of them aro likely to take to the hills and bceomo brigands. It is really essential for tho good older of the countty that tho soldiers should bo paid. If President MeKlnlcy vlll recognize us as the repiesentatlves of the Cuban people we will be able to borrow money enough to pay off tho soldiers. There is a syndicate of cap italists here In New York with whom negotiations have been opened, and they are willing to loun tho money as soon as this commission shall havo been recognized by the American gov ernment. AVe hope to uhow the presi dent the necessity for this action on his wart." Re our theories on this point what they may, it will soon bo understood hy the authorities at "Washington that it is a condition which demands their uttentlon In Cuba. Theoretically it may bo argued with sonto plausibility tliut no debts should be? contt acted iu tio nam of the Cuban icpublio which Js to be until that Kovernment shall have been created after u fair canvass ot the sentiment ot nil tho population to bo Koverned. Rut prac tically wo havo to effect llrst of nil tho. pncltlcntlon if tho island; nnd any expenso made necessary In execu tion ot this purpose la a fair chat go upon till tho people ot Cubu. The In surgent aimy did not freo Cuba, but It did enough to earn tho respect of tho United Statei and tho cratlttido of nil Cubans. Those mombeiu of It who tiro not directly employed under American supervision lit polite work or other public employment should bo given at leapt enough pay to enable them to turn from aims to paclllo pur suits. This will bo both justice nnd economy. In epcaklng of our duty to the Philip pines one is reminded that there has been u neglect of duty fn not looking after the inhabitants of shotgun le gions of the Cnroltnus. Colonel Roosevelt told the war in vcstlgatois that he hoped they would call for nnd read the letters which ho bent from tho fiont to tho secretary of war. Those letttis ought to bo pub lished In full. Meaning of the "Open Door." The announcement of the American peace commissioners nt Pails that the Philippine Islands, under American tontiol, will observe the "open door" naturally Justifies a definition of thW phrase. Secretary of .State Hay an nounces us his understanding of tho teim that a tat Iff system will be put In force In tho Philippines which will opeiato equally ngnlnst tho pioducts of all nations. No nation Is to have any advantage, not excepting the I'nlted States itself. The products fiom this countiy ate to pay the same lates of duty us similar pioducts from Spain, Englnnd, Germany or nny other eountiy in tho world, It will be perceived that this Implies, not fiee tiade, but a uniform taiiff. It gives the United States simply the advantage which grows out of the ad ministration of Philippine affairs If with our law ptevalllnsr theie and our officers administering them our mn chants nro not nble to hold their own in competition with European tomrelltorp, it will be- the fitst time that American enterpilse has failed. The advantage of relinquishing the chance to enforce tariff dlseulminatlons in the Philippines Is that It gives us a powerful argument to use uealust the interposition of discriminating dut ies at any of tho Ruiopcan-owned ports or Inlets Into China. Wo can say that as wo have dealt with Cei many, France and Russia at Manila so shall we expect they will deal with us iu their Chinese "zones of lnllu ence." Possessing as we shall the co operation of England and possibly Japan, a hint fiom us on this subject will hardly requiiu to be reinforced by a kick. There will opposition In this countiy to tho "open door" policy In the Phll ipp'nes. Theie will bo tiado inteiests which will be shoitslghtcd enough to want to cut otf their nose to spite tholr face. Near-sighted politicians, to 5. limy play this Issue In the hope of making' capital against the Republi can i arty. Rut the thoughtful people of tho countty, when they have stud ied the subject as the president has stuukd it and are made familiar with ths causes which have impelled hint toward this broad-minded conclusion, will sustain him, and, as heretofore, his ciltics will be confounded. Such proceedings ns chaiacteiized the Cotbett-Sharkov pile light will do more to break up pugilism than a round of l evolutions fiom law nnd older leagues. When 10,000 Americnns pay $43,000 In admissions to see a fake there is likely to be a reaction. Roosevelt on the War Management. The stenographic icport of Colonel Roosevelt's testimony on Tuesday be fore the War Investigation commis si jn published In Wednesday's New Yoik papeis tills In some lnteiestlng detnilr which were necessarily omitted fiom the cursoiy summary distributed yesterday by the Associated Press. Hero Is an especially vivid exempt: Through no fault of tho doctois, tho condition of the wounded In tho rear, din ing and Imim dlately after tho light (at San Juan hill), was appalling'. I went clown thero thiee days attci tho fight was over to look for scmo of niv men. I saw tetrlblo sights. I didn't bl.uno tho doctors In tho least, x saw them woiklng at op erating tables when they had to jerk tlulr heads to keep themselv awake. Thero were not enough doctors thero and not enough supplies. I saw some of my own men right after they wero operated upon, having logs or aims amputated, or some thing of that sort, taken right out iu tho jungle and left In tho grass. Sometimes, X know, they stajed thero twentj-four or thlrtj-six hours, with a leg or arm off, and vvitli nobody even to come to them to glvn them n ilrlnk of water. Hut they had to bo taken theie. T'lero was po tt hero else to tako them and nobody to take earo of them. The doctors wcio all doing their best and working as luavcly as tho soldiers In the trenches, but tho treatment nt the hospitals was so luml upon the men th.it as soon as posiblo tho wounded sunt back to tho hospital ic turned to tho tront. I could not tret n y wounded and sick men to go to the icar unless tin y had to bo taken theie. Gen eral Wood told mo not to send an si 1c or wounded men to tho lenr it they co'il I posslblv bo attended to at tho iremt. be cause theio wtic no facilities for taking caio of them at tho rear Theio weic no cots for tha wounded. Alter belni? opei ated upon, If they had blankets, they lay In tho mud on their blankets. If they didn't havo blankets they lay iu tho mud without blankots. Colonel Roosevelt told of mauv sim ilar sights and shortcomings some enough to make the blood boll; but he accused nobody, on the contiary, ho explicitly decluied that ho thought these faults were the faults of a faulty system, that needed radical Impiove ment, and not the result of wanton neglect by any one In a position f au thority. On this subject ho ufleicd tho suggestions which follow: Prom what 1 saw I bcllcvo that If our army wero exercised In peace, as I think tho foreign armies are, vciy much of this troublo would have been avoided, I do not see how wo can expect to avoid se tlous tioublo In tho future If wo are not accustomed to handle over three hundred men at a time. I bcllcvo that If in tlmo of peace you could got together once a ear ten or llftecn thousand men, march tliein from Sun Antonio to Galveston, say and thin embark them for Tampa, all of the defects In the nuartei mauler's de partment, medical department and coin mlsjaiy depaitment will bo made ovldcnt and will work their own cure, It will cost money, but It Is tho thins to do Now, I would like lo'tay this as the rtBult of roy experience In tho navy department: I feel that tho ordlnnnco nnd quartermas ter's bureaus Bhould not bo separated from tho tine. Admiral 8ampon used IIvj nuns which ho built when ho was head of tho ordnance bureiu of tho navy. I bcllnvo It would bo of tho Greatest ad vantage If we could havo our ordnance men nnd our quartormistcrs In the army detallid for some jears and sent back to tho lino, nnd then sent back again if necessary. I bcllcvo it would bo for tho ndvantago of tho lino and for tho ad vantage ot tho nrmy nnd tho navy. As for the other matter, the need of exercis ing tho nrmy In pence, I am sure It 13 tho only tirnotlcril way of wniklmt out nit the reforms you need You cannot sit down and plan out on piper. Practice In tho field Is necessary. I could see that In tho Improvements that camo with ex perience In the Hi Id. Koch vear nn army should be actually put through In peaco what It would havo to go through In war. The testimony of Colonol Roosevelt is by far the most practical and lumin ous of any which hns been elicited since tho war commission began Its Investi gations. It makes clear that the coun try was not ready to bo to war; that it rushed In without system or plan and fought its way to victory in epito of gross delinquencies and Inconceiv able obstacles; and that If this is not to bo repeated In future public opinion must bruco Itself to demand a complete overhauling and modernization of American military plans and methods, so ns to give us a regular force of ade quate size constantly kept up to tho highest efficiency und a volunteer re serve for whom good weapons, good clothing, good camps of mobilization and good oillccrs, lino and staff, are provided, not after wur is deelaied, but all tho time. According to the rccotds of the sur geon general'H department, wo lost in tin' five months of the war with Spain 10 21 men out of every 1,000 reported present! by medical officers serving with them, and In the flist five months of tho rebellion 17.-1 out of every thousand. Cnny the news to the yel low Journals. . In the letter of Rev. J. I.. Williams, of Forest City, in yestei day's Tribune, an error of the tvpes made him say the average salary of ministers of tho gospel In $100 a year; the figures should havo been $100. Admit als Dewey, Schley, Sampson nnd others will be obliged to remain In seclusion a few dajs until the efll clency of tho foot ball coach has been fully demonstrated in the dally papers. General Miles is ananglng to glvo a dinner In honor of General Garcia. This wlll.be a good occasion for Gen et al Shafter to have another sudden indisposition. Theie in no reason why Spain should not be thankful today. An offer of $20 000,000 for something it does not own ought to make any nation happy. Unless something is done to council late the antl-impetlallsts of the "Hub" It may yet be necessaiy to send a war ship to annex Roston. Theie is a suspicion that some of the noted puglllbts ot the day are cul tivating hlstronlc rather than fighting abilities. Spain would Use to wave aside that protteied $20,000,000 but the temptation is Ii resistible. It looks as though a Mugwump par ty is already in existence at Manila. NEWS AND COMMENT Tho subjoined account ot some ot tho actual conditions in Cuba Is taken by tho New ork Sun from u prlvuto letter vw It ten by tho wile of an officer of our navy in Havana.

From tho Philadelphia. Times. Governor IJloxhnm, ot Florida, has Is sued a ciiculur letter as exocutlve ot tho state proposing a national convention to assemble at Tampa, Floueli, on the 6th of February next, to discuss methods for placing stato troops on tho most eftectlvo footing. All questions relating to arms equipment, tactics, clothing, food and transposition are to be discussed by ex perts, ns will the subject of camp sites, sanitation and all precautionary meas ures that modern sclonco can buggest to Insure tho coinfoit nnd health of troops. Thero should bo a very general and htarty response to this call from Governor Illox ham. Our recent war with Spain devel oped the fact that much us wo have im proved our mllltla system In most of the states, our national guard wus utterly unfitted for tho tield. Neither oillccrs nor men woro equal to such an emergency, and tho result was great Buffering and tho saerlflco of many lives simply for want of a thoroughly organized mllitnry system It Is Idlo to say that We shall not havo war soon again. Wo may or may not, most likoly not, but henceforth nearly or quite all the states of the Union will maintain a mllltla oiganlatlon and it will cost no more to make It as peifect us possible than it would to keep it In a state of loose discipline and unfitness for military duty. In view of tho fearful Eacrlllces recently suffoicd by tho Imper fections of our militia sjstem, the call of Governor Uloxham Is one that should enlist tho Interest and attention of nil connected with our mllltla organizations.
