The best assurance that the Aguln

unconditional surrender is supplied by
the fact that General Otis has gone
right on with his war arrangements
and is as ready to light further as he
Is to offer clemency when the opposi
tion throws Itself on his mercy. Amer
icans have learned by sad oxperleneo
that Tagal professions are not to bo
accepted at face value: and It has b:.n
wise to offer no armistice or permit no
periods of truce.

Aguinaldo must take his choice. If

It is believed that tho police made a

face over on New street, who, accord
ing to accounts, acknowledged that he
had made an attempt ti, assault a

ly received considerable punishment.

The sclzuro of a lot of mischievous
pamphlets that had been shipped to
Manila for the purpose of creating IU
content among tho American troops
gaged In fighting tho Filipinos was
a stop In tho proper direction. The
unensy Hostonlan who Is responsible
for the treasonable tracts should be
allowed to meditate for a season In
apartments protected tyy wrought lion

d all right In its place, but In times
of wnr It Is well to call n halt upon
tho ravings ot tho "nntl" trnltor
whether uttered on tho lloor of tho
United Stntes ponato or scribbled In
gome literary uttlo nt the alleged hcad
qunrtcrfl of American culture. Tho
government hns boon altogether too
lenient with this class of mischief
makers. After nil it seems undoubtedly truo
that tho hand of fate rules tho destl
aleii of man. Hut for Theodore llooso

Instrumental In having hint nsslgncd
to tho mission that has made hint tho

history. Objections wen; made to tho
commission of Dewey on various
grounds by naval ofllclals, but Colonel
Roosevelt was determined, and Dewey
was thus given an opportunity to
make himself and tho American navy
famous In a day. There nro doubtless
many George Deweys not only In the

Here In four years Is a gain of near
ly ninety per cent. Hut, as our lum
inous New York contemporary rc
marks, "the great American export
period Is only beginning. Tho United
States produces so much that it must
export. The extension of Its com
merce In the Pacific and access to the
Oriental markets are Indispensable.
The fortune of war has put Into Ameri
can hands opportunities and facilities
for increasing their export trade and
finding' maikets for their surplus pro
duets. They have got nt small cost
and in good season what they might
have had to light for under great dis
advantages later. The export of
American manufactures has already
reached respectable figures, and in a
few years It will be enormous. A re
markable expansion, not merely of ter
ritory, but of Ameilcan Industrial and
commercial energy, has begun."
Nature and destiny have put It with
in the power of the United States to
become literally the wotkshop ot the
wi'ihl. Toward the Kast, West and
South are growing markets which our
manufnoturois arc just beginning to go
for. In special goods, such as sewing
machines, bicycles, all electrical ap
paratus and mechanical novelties, our
manufacturers already have made
great inroads into the European mar
kets. Toward South America, only the
faintest beginning has been made, but
our experience In Cuba and I'orto Hlco
will teach us the needs of tho Latin
American peoples and also teach us
how to do business with those peoples.
As the result of recent American ex
pansion in this direction It Is easy to
foresee that tho United States is dur
ing the next few decades to Increase
Immensely its commercial as well as
its political dealings with Central nnd
South America. Possession of Hawaii
and tho Philippines Insures at possibly
a somewhat later period supremacy In
the coming competition for tho trade
or China. Japan and the other great
put chasing countries of the Orient.
Fortunately our far-seeing statesmen
are alive to these possibilities and no
advantage now held by us will be
thrown away.
Delia Fox. the prima donna, Is said

Tho career of Delia Fox furnishes food

this young woman became known to

promising future as an entertainer
have in that time been blighted by
reckless dissipation nnd strong drink.
Unable to withstand tho allurements of

more force of chnrnetor to keep ono's

than to rise to eminence.

that tho affairs at the reformatory are
conducted on tho llnep ot thu arrange
ments for a Sunday school picnic. The
pupils Intrusted to tho care of .Mr.
Hroekway, as a rule, have been drafted
from tho toughest clement In New

The Philippines
fls an Investment.
From the New York Sun,
r LTHOUOH tho Filipino Insur
&
gents have not yet laid down
their arms, thero Is now reason
to believe that hostilities will
cease before operations are rendered
dtilleult by the rainy season, which,
nominally, begins on June 1. The sub
mission of Agulnaldo's adherents will
be followed by the establishment of a
provisional government, In the framing
of which, no doubt, due deference will
bo paid to tho suggestions of the com
missioners who have been sent to Ma
nila. It will be fortunate If such a.
government shall have been by Dec. 1
In working order for some months, so
thnt the next congress may proceed
to permanent legislation for the Philip
pines with full knowledge of the facts.
o
The arguments on which the antl-ex-pausionlsts
mainly rely are these:
First, have we a moral right to im-po-o
our rule upon the Filipinos, and,
secondly, will It pay to do so? There
Is ground for the suspicion that ns
time goes on a good deal more stress
will be laid upon tho second argument
than on the llrst. It is evident that,
outside of u part of Luzon, we are
governing tho Philippine Islands with
tho consent of the governed. This Ij
true, also, of the Intelligent and far-
sighted class In the city of Manila. It
Is equally certain, that the aboriginal
inhabitants, who occupy the northern
and eastern paits of Luzon Itself, nnd
who detest the Tagals, and also the
Chinese residents, win, constitute a
considerable fraction of the population,
would greatly prefer to be ruled by
Americans than by Aguinaldo. It Is
further probable that Aguinaldo him
self and thi other leaders o tho In
surrection, which Is now near collapse,
will shortly acknowledge that their
armed resistance to our authority was
ill advised, and that their country will
bo better olf, internally and externally.
under our protection, than it would
have been as a so-called Tagal repub
lic. The moment, obviously, that tho
Tagals return to their peaceful voca
tions and acquiesce in tho orderly and
kindly regime Instituted by the United
Slates, there will be no longer any pro
text for the chnrgo that wo are op
pressing a people struggling to be free.
The truth will then be seen by every
ono, namely, that we arc resolved to
give the Filipinos not only a far bet
ter government than they ever enjoyed
under the Spaniards, but tho largest
measure of self-government whereof
they are capable.
o
Cut, while the moral and sentimen
tal protest against our retention of the
Philippines Is not likely to be urged
much longer, there are signs that tho
economical objection may continue to
be pressed. Already the more wily op
ponents of expansion are falling back
on the assertion that, whereas all the
former acquisitions of territory by tho
United .States were, obviously, profit
able, this is not tho case with tho
Philippines, because the cost of main
taining there an adequate military and
naval force wilL greatly exceed any
federal revenue derivable ft on: the Isl
ands. If this assertion bo well founded.
the voters In 1900. so we are told, will
shake their heads and decline to sanc
tion the retention ot the Philippines.
The assertion however, happens to b;
without foundation.
o
The purchase of Florida received the
hearty approval of tho American poo
ple.notwlthstandingtho fact that sever
al decades elapsed before tho Fedornl
revenue nccrulng from that territory
reimbursed us for the purchase money
paid to Spain and for the subsequent
cost of tho wnr against tho Seminolos.
There were croakers, indeed, nt tho
time, who complained that wo had
bought it pig In a poke, and who said
that the brave Seminoles, fighting for
their liberty, were perfectly right in
refusing to recognize tho transfer to
us of a sovereignty which Spain had
been unable to force. Nevertheless,
the great mass of our people were thor
oughly convinced that Florida wns ours
by a title as good In morals ns In law.
und that It would eventually pay.
o
So, too, In regard to Alaska. At th
lime of the purchase of that territory
from llussla there were skeptical per
sons in New Kngland who alleged that
Secretary Seward had paid millions for
an leeburg. The great majority of the
voters, however, hnd faith that Mr.
Howard's investment would provo lu
crative In tho end, nnd their confidence
has been justified by the profits of the
fur-seal business and by the gold de
posits In tho Yukon region. On tho fnco
of things, tho Philippines promise to
J be a far better investment than wna
Florida or Alaska. So soon as the In
surgents under Aguinaldo have been
iiubdued, tho military and nnval forco
now serving In tho Philippines can be
materially reduced, and It wutild not
bo surprising If, within ten years, the
Fudernl revonuo accruing from the Is
lands should meet the expenditures. It
must bo remembered that, under Span
ish swav, In Manila as In Hnvann, nt
least one-half tho revenue Justly duo
tho government on Imports wns em
bezzled by tho Custom House ofllcluls
ncttng In collusion with the Importers.
Similar corruption prevailed In the col
lection of the Internnl revenues. In ad
dition to tho gains that will result from
honest nnd elllclcnt administration, we
must take Into account the great ex
pansion of the revenue Inseparable
from a great development of Industry
nnd trndo. Thero Is no conceivable
reason why American citizens should
not do iib well with Luzon as tho Dutch
have done with Java, where, In the
course of a century, tho population hn3
Increased tenfold and tho revenue more
than twcntyfold,
We Bhould note, finally, that In es
timating tho worth of annexed tenl
tory, the intelligent American people
have always kept In view Its Indirect as
well ns Its direct value a given trnct
of land may bo desirable for strategic
as well as revenue purposes Wc should
deem Florida, for example, cheaply
bought, If until this day the Income de
rived from It had failed to offset the
sum paid for It or afterward expended
in puttln down tho Seminoles. For mili
tary and naval reasons the possession
of the Florldlnn peninsula and of Key
West wns Indispensable to the protec
tion of our Gulf States On similar
grounds Americans nttnehed great Im
portance to the possession of the
Alaskan peninsula and of the Aleutian
Islands, as helping to give us tho com
mnnd of the North Pacific. It was. like
wise, on the Bcore of strategic, rather
than commercial usefulness, that tho
annexation of Hawaii was vehemently
pressed on congress by the popular
sentiment .Now- 1 is Impossible to
overestimate the value of the Philip
pines, lying, as they do, midway be
tween Singapore nnd Shanghai, to a
nation which Is determined to compete
In the twentieth century for Its full
share of trade In the Far Kast. With
tho Philippines, a full shnro will bo
ours. Without them.ou'- nvinufiicturcrs
nnd merchants would be but too evi
dently doomed to ultimate ejection
from the Chinese markets.
i
There Is no doubt that tho Philippines
will pay. Considered merely ns an in
vestment, they deserve to be ranked
with the purchase of California.
