An Eloquent Justification.
' The icspont.0 of the. administration
lo the hlet of the Iio-ston nntl-lm-jietlallutH
may l3 rend In and between
tho lines of the speech of the post
master gonciRl delivered at Chicago
last nlpht nnd minted In another col
umn. The piosldent does not assume
to tell the people what they sdiull do
v.itii the i'hlllntjlnes. That Is for
litem tf. decide. His duty tmdb with

The administration holds that It has
thus far acted logically and In the
only manner left open to It by duty
nnd honoi The necesbltlea of war
foiced Dewev to destroy tho Spanish
ileet which was the last prop to Span
ish ntlthoilty In the Philippines. The
necessities ot' our International obliga
tions forced the occupation ot Manila
by Atmtkdu troops pendlnjr tho con
clusion of a tiedty of peace; other
wise fotelRit govQinmcnts could havo
held the United Ktutes responsible In
damages for the destruction by native
looters of foielgn propeity at Manila.
The' necessities of peace forced the
taking oer of the islands as an alter
native to their return to helpless Spain,
to their foiclble partitioning among
the htiongor powers or to their httr
lender to internal anaichy and chaos.
No one has successfully disputed these
propositions. No one has shown how
without cow ai dice or li.nl faith wc
could hae done othciwlso than we
did.
The attack of the insuigent natives
upon our military police force, how
ever deplorable, had to be met and the
only way to meet It was to put the In
surrection down. Aguinaldo, by that
attack, placed himself on a par with
Gcronlmo or Sitting Hull. Tho ie
hponslblllty being our'rt by the laws of
nations and the necessity of self de
fense being supieme and Incontest
able, the war now In progiess needs
no turther Justification and those who
claim that It could have been averted
Hlmply express an opinion for which
there is neither piocrf nor plausible In
ference. TJut the postmaster geneial goes t ur
her than to set forth the admlnlstra
lon's Justification for steps alieady
taken. Ho uftlrms boldly his belief
that what has been done has been
ilghtcously done and that the woik
thus begun should be carried through
ii Its logical conclusion, until Ameil
an energy, icsource and Intelligence
shall have converted those tioplcal isl
ands Into fair and shining centers of
civilization, creditable alike to tiustees
and to wards. On this Issue he ih
willing to go before the people, to
htand or fall by their meditated ote.
Admiral Dewey is fortunate In this
cia of president-makers to have many
miles of deep sea between him nnd um
bitlous political promoters. When an
eifllse seeks the man at such a long
i.ange It is not liable to cause the un
willing subject any mote annoyance.
Wanted A Man.
The attention of tho people of Peun
sjlvanla Is called to the condition of
affairs Indicated In tho following ex
tract fiom a news letter sent out from
Harrlsburg under date of April 'J;
"With the date of final adjournment
only eleven days off, tho legislature
has not sent a single revenue bill to
tho governor. The numerous lev
cnuo measures passed by the house
are still In the senate llnance commit
tee. The private chailtles will suffer
if some of the revenue bills are not
unacted Into laws Governor Stone
nas repeatedly said that he will not
sign away a. single cent In advance of
the state revenues. Tho bills for state
and semi-state institutions and the
general appropriation bill aggregate
the estimated revenues for tho nest
two yeais. Unless more revenue is
raised theio will be nothing left for
the private charities and to complete
the capltol."
Failure to complete tha capltol
would not necessarily geneiato poig
nant sorrow outside of Ilarrlsbui
and tho narrow circle of expectant
contractors, but the cuitulluvnt nt
state aid to hospitals and asylums 1 a
piospcct not to be contemplated with
complaceny. Wo do not agree with
those who argue that the way out of
the present peiplexlng revenue ho.o
Is to enter upon a widespread scheme
of Increased taxation. The etate of
Pennsylvania is taxing Its cltUens at
the present tlmo quiet enougn. 'I ho
state needs first of all to cut down lis
unnecessary expenses and then it
needs to gtt down to common sense
principles In Us allotment of the school
fund.
The state of Pennsylvania givci to
education more money than It can af
ford to give In view of the Just claims
of other proper objects of state aid.
It gives nearly $2,000,000 more a ysnr
to Its public schools than the state
next to It In the list. Now York, nnd
It Is not getting from this lavish and
extravagant placing of Its funds the
worth of Its mistaken generosity. We
ate Informed that thcto ure scnool dis
tricts In the state which receive from
the state for educational purposes
moie money than they expend; the
difference It put out at lntere.it and
the dlstilcts pocket the Interest. ThU
condition of things, nt a time when
hospitals, asylums and other tisnessary
humane Institutions cannot got enough
money fto:r. the state or from tho coin-
lntinltles to keep up current expenses,
much less to keep pneo with tho
growth In the number of unfoituntuoa
deceiving of accommodation and eari,
Is an outiago and It needs to bo culled
no by public sentiment.
Time piobably Isn't a. legislator In
Ilnrilsbutg who doesn't know that the
t-rhuol fund Ih too large, under thcae
undeniable circumstances. 'Where w

The Injustice of the old principles
which gives the commonwealth In
criminal trials nn oveiw helming ad

challenges was clearly shown yester

adapted to that purpose.
Practical Christianity.
At a time when too many religious
time-initiations nro dissipating their en
ergies in disputing over the subtleties
of the so-called higher atticism or ara
going about with theological or sec
tarian chips on their shoulders, seek
ing whom they mav devour, It Is duo
to tho Protestant Episcopal church In
America to say that It has devoted
verv little time to this kind of contto-
veisy and eiy much tlmo to tho Insti
tution and development of practical
charities and works of bioad benevo
lence. In our own community It has carried
practical religion Into tho every day
lives of a multitude of people repre
senting all classes and stations: and
Its organization of parish work come3
very near to being ideal. The dedi
cation yesterday of the new parish
house of St. Luke's congregation, thu
splendid memorial erected by the wise
beneficence of Mary Throop Phelps,
supplies a fitting opportunity for pub
lic recognition of these ptogresslve and
admirable minlsttatlons. Though theie
may be room for differences of judg
ment and opinion with respect to doc
trine thero Is none In lofetenee to tho
usefulness of the purposes to which this
palish building will hereafter be de
voted. It will be In very tiuth a homo
for the helpless, tho poor and the un
fortunate; a home to Inculcate tile
spirit of thrift, to encourage the de
spondent and to make the community
feel and know that Christianity Is more
than forms and ceiemonles and lino
woids uttered from the lips outward.
The congratulations of the people nie
due to all who have In any way con
tributed to the generous sentiment that
called this parish home Into being, hut
more especially aro thanks due to St.
Luke's Indefatigable and devoted lec
tor, rtov. Rogers Israel, and to his
efllclent assistants, who give to tho
beautiful building the directing eplrit
which, under Piovldence. makes It a

That Armor Plate Muddle.
Specifications have been piepaied by
the navy department for the 21,000 tons
of armor plato needed In the consti uc
tlon of the six new -battleships author
ised by the Plfty-ilfth congiess, but
Inasmuch as the authoiized mice for
the armor for three of tho ships is only
$300 per ton It is said that no bids will
be sent In as the aunor plate manu
facturers contend that they cannot pro
duce the commodity for so low a pi Ice.
The senators responsible for the cut
In the authoiized pilco claim that $100
a ton Is too much to pay for minor
plate and that If the United States Is
going to use much plato It had better
build a factory of Its own. With ref
erence to this proposition the oidnancc
officers of the navy, who have Investi
gated the subject thoroughly, aio
unanimously hostile. They assert that
In addition to the largo Initial cost of
a government armor plate plant It
would be several yeais bcfoie the
machinery could bo made and placed
In working order, and by thut time
somebody might invent some improve
ment that would make It practically
worthless. The development of the
science of shipbuilding and gunneiy
has been so radical and rapid within
the last ten yenis that ships In our
navy which weio in advance of any
thing that tho world had previously
thought of at the tlmo thev were
launched are now practically old-fashioned.
The ofilclals think that by the
time tho armor plant was completed
we would want a new one built on dif
ferent designs, and that the $3,000,000 or
$4,000,000 It would cost would be prac
tically wasted. Futthermoie, they be
lieve It would be an Injustice of tho
grossest kind for the government to go
Into competition with the private com
panies. "Some years ago," writes W. IJ. Cur
tis In the Chicago Record, "at the urg
ent solicitation of tho naval ofilclals,
tho Carnegie and Bethlehem companies
erected splendid plants at a cost of
several million dollars each, In order
to supply armor for our battleships. It
was an act ot patriotism, because tho
demand for armor Is limited, and con
fined exclusively to the United States
and othei governments, and tho ilsk
was very great because of tho rapid
chango In methods. In order to pay a
teasonable profit upon the Investment
and provide a sinking fund to lelm
burse themselves for tho cost of tho
plant before It became obsolete, these
companies fixed a price which, accord
ing to the experts, was Just and fair
to the government as well as to them
selves, and It Is less than other govern
ments are paying them and Ktiropenn
manufacturei s for tho same material,
William K. Chandler, who used to be
secretary of tho navy, entertains a bit
ter grudge against these manufactur
ers for some reason, and Senator Till
man, of South Carolina, and Senator
Hutler, of North Carolina, who do not
know any more about the manufacturo
of armor than a sparrow knows of
finance, took it Into their heads that
the Carnegles nnd tho Bethlehem peo
ple were making too much money
Thev therefore secured nn amendment
j xu the navy bill lltiiltliijj the mice.
Theio are no threo men In congiogs
more unlit to Judge of such matteis.
No manufacturer of Iron or steel or
anything else would give two cents for
the opinion of cither of them on anv
matter of business, and yet they have
such conlldenco In their own wisdom
and nblllty that they would ho willing
to undertake the management of tho
celestial system with the same assur
ance thnt they discussed the cost of
armor plato. The rules of the sennto
pctmltted them to have their way, not
withstanding tho appeals and remon
strances of tho oineers of the navy, and
as n consequence the building of battle
ships will have to he suspended."
It Is to be hoped that during the tlmo
thus wasted we shall not have sudden
need of additional battleships, for If wo
should, tho matter of $30 or $100 a ton
In the price of a few thousand tons of
armor plate would bo a small Item In
the scale. What wo should save at the
spigot would then bo wasted In short
order at the bungholc and tho nation
would bo lucky to get out of a naval
scrape, at ten times the cost of minor
piste at 100 a ton. It Is this small and
niggardly spirit on the part of certain
congressmen which forced the govern
ment o year ago to buy up old mei
chant ships nt fancy pi Ices In the fran
tic nttompt to linpiovlse a navy capahlo
of combating the navy of Spain. Our
good ships foitunatcly weie sufficient
to take care of Spain's poor ones, but
If our antagonist had been Kussln or
(let many or Krunce wc might have had
to sing a different tune It Is all right
to hold out against manifest over
charges, but w hen a fair price Is quoted
tho policy of truo economy in matters
of this chat actor Is to accept It and
push the woik of naval constiuction so
as to he piepared as soon as possibles
l'oi evciy untoward contingency.

and fai teaching In Its conclusion",
we havo lived so fast and so much,
we have entered upon such new nnd
mighty questions, that we can haidly
tenllze It Is not yet a twelve month

biought the nation to a point whcie,
In ite own pi ogress and In the pio-
giess of tho world, It must enter upon
a widen spheie; and the Inescapable
duty of lust year became the un
sought but unavoidable means, under
an ovenullng Piovldence, of renlizlng
that national necessity.
-a
The obligations and the mandate ot
that national duty cannot be disputed.
Two weeks ago I stood under the
sunny sky of Cuba. I saw some of tho
villages of pnlm-thatched huts wheie
under the cruel older of concent! atlon,
thousands of helpless Cubans wero
heided, like sheep for tho slaughter,
to die of disease and stmvatlon. It
was a deliberate holocaust of exter
mination Two bundled thousand hu
man beings were literally starved to
death. If our government had not In
terfened when It did, half a million
nun. women and children would havo
perished and their blood would havo
been on our skirts. When the presi
dent summoned Spain to withdraw,
h left open the pathway of peace
with JiiFtlcc. Uut when Spain blindly
n fused, a command gi eater than
nuttunal ease, a duty higher than any
material Interests, a voice from Ood
and from man left no course but to
enfoice the withdrawal and rescue)
a doomed people. Tho atrocities of
ISulgaila loimcd the eloquent voice of
Gladstone, stltred the stout heart of
England and recast the map of tho
Lalkans. The later horrors of Ar
menia found Kuropo divided and bal
anced with Jealousies, and she stood
dumb and palsied In the presence of
that aw fur massacre. Hut the great
Republic could not remain silent or
Impotent with the hideous wrongs of
Cuba at our own doors. We should
have been fulso to humanity and ro
rresnt to civilization had wo failed to
stretch forth our saving arm. Tho
cool, dispassionate verdict of history
will pronounce It the most obligatory
and the most righteous of wars, as
It was the most faultless In Its direc
tion and the most astonishing and
overwhelming In Its success.

wo have gone ihi conclusions
como, doubts have dlsuppeiied, re
sults have vindicated, and discussion
has advanced now questions. A year
ago we were dlscusclng war, and
events brought nn undivided front.
Nino months ago, so sw If t and unerr
ing wore the blows, wo wore discuss
ing the cessation of hostilities, and
the protocol as It enmo fiom tho hands
of tho piosldent was lecognlzcd ns
skillfully settling tho provisional teims
and prcseivlng tho Fafoguard and
possibilities. F'-lx months ugo wo weio
discussing the final conditions of
peace, and the negotiations of Paris,
strrnuoui). resolute and masterful,
ended In the only agreement which
meant leal peace. Thiee months ago
wo wore discussing tho treaty, and
not only did Its ratification lemovc It
fiom the nrena of contention, but It is
now accepted ns wise, statcsmanllko
nnd altogether Haw less. Then we weto
debating whether we should take tho
Philippines, and It came to be clear
that theie was no other course no
Joint or divided sovereignly, no turn
ing back to Spain, no leaving as a
derelict on the ocean currents, no In
dupendenco which means anarchy, no
hunding over to any other power. If
theie weie doubts, they hove vanished,
and today the question Is not whether
wo should have taken the Philippines,
for no man now ventutes to dispute
It, but v.hat shall wc do with them?
o
That question tho American people
will answer, and It may well be that
as the discussion goes on and events
move forwnrd tho doubts and uncer
tainties will clear up, as they have
cleared up In every preceding chapter
cf the advancing story. The people
will make answer, nnd thev will an
swer with full retard for tho lights
and welfare of the Filipinos They
v 111 I'lisvver nlso with a full sense of
their own duty and obligations. And
they will answer without biandlngi
themselves as Incapable of playing
theli nppiopilate part In tho world's
broad arena nnd as unequal to the
demands of pi ogress and civilization.
Thev do not share the unworthy senti
ment that an Individual or a nation
Ivis the light to tun away fiom a
perplelng or a burdensome duty by
ptoclalmlng that It hasn't character
or ability enouch to perfoim It.
Nor are they deceived by any hollow
fiction or anv Irrelevant maxim. They
arc not foolish enough to suppose that
a single day has either lifted the vic
tims of four hundred yeais of oppres
sion and barbarism Into Washingtons
end Pollvnrs or degraded the descend
ants of the real Washington and his
compeers Into reproductions of George
the Third and Lord North. They un
derstand that the principles of the
Declaration of Independence are ab
stract truths, and that they aro also
I raetlcal fruits to be reached by prac
tical means. They did not ask the
consent of tho Cubans to save them
ftoni starvation, but they will put
the Cubans In the way of having a
government based on their consent.
They do not ask tho consent of the
Filtpl.uiH to save them fiom chaos
but they will tench and guide and
raise the Filipinos to a point where
they will consent to their own best in
terests, nnd whcie they will have tho
laigcst nien-ure of self government
for which thev; shnll show themselves
p.unllfkd.
