Judge Archibald's Candidacy. In view of the public Intel est which has been excited by the political de velopments of the past few das, It seems timely to levlew the reasons why Lackn wanna county solicits fiom the delegates of other counties to the Republican state convention, which Is to meet In Harrlsburg on Thursday, support for the candidacy of Hoti.R.W. Archbald for the nomination for Justice of the Supreme court. (1). Judge Archbald Is worthy of the place. His tecord as a Jurist cov ering yeais of dllllcult service; his wide acquaintance among the mem bers of tho legal piofesslon In Pennsyl nnlan and his familial Ity with Judicial conditions throughout the common wealth: his Judicial temperament, le gal pchfilatship and supeilor reputa tion all recommend him strongly and explain why of all the gentlemen who have aspired to this high position he Is tho one whose candidacy represents the most genuine manifestations of popularity extending over a wide uiea. Although hla candidacy. Is especially urged on account of his familiarity with the technical terms and condi tions of litigation peculiar to the an thracite coal Industry an Industiy which contributes to the Supreme court a largei percentage of cases for review than any other two Industries In the atat It Is In no sense a class or sectional enterprise, but is waunly approved by representative citizens In every part of the state. We call espe cial attention to this statement and challenge denial of its truthfulness. (2). From such a premise it follows that Judge Archbald's candidacy nat urally typifies In present circumstan ces the widespread demand for politi cal fair play. Those active In Its pro motion resent tho suggestion that a nomination for the position of Justice of the Supreme court should be deter mined upon In any other place than In open party convention, by the free will ot a majority of the elected dele gates. As Republicans they favor honorable loyalty to honorable parly organization and ate actuated by no motives of personal greed or vlndlctlve ness; they simply submit to public at tention the necessity for an open field und a fair and manly contest. They believe that In such conditions their candidate tepresents the elements of success, and thej assert without quali fication their belief that such condi tions are a necessary feature of wise party management Was Mayor .Molr's Inaugural pro mise of a non-polltlcal police force merely an Iridescent dream' The Gospel of Common Honesty.

Walter Wellman expedition achieved glorious results In the way of thrilling experiences that will read well Jujnnfrazlnc literature, but science will probably be obliged to continue euesalng for some time yet In recard to the situation nt tho north pole.

The street commissioner should noti fy the men who clean out sewer holes not to dump tho sower Julco on smok ing hot pavomnnts, to pollute the air for yards about. On Saturday utter noon for more, than an hour the much traveled Intctscctlon of Washington avenue with Skuco street wasiby this careless process made to smell like a Blue factory nnd to distribute disease germs enough to overcrowd Moses Taylor hospital. Thcie Is no excuse for such criminal stupidity. The Philippine Situation. When tho round robin of the Manila war correspondents was published It was announced In the name ot tho nd mlnlsttatton at Washington that It would bo Ignored. In a sense this has proved true. Specific action was not taken either to punish those who signed It or to put to trial the man whom It accused General Otis was not dis turbed, but It Is worthy of notice that some of the essential features ot tho round robin have since been accepted by the administration as true and steps taken In correction. For example. Gen eral Otis no longer favors the country with exuberant dispatches predlctlns the Immediate collapse of the Insur rection. He no longer claims to be able to close the war with an effective force of 30,000 men. The war department Is pteparlng with extraordinary energy to put Into Luzon a picked force of 65,000 men, more than double the number asked for by Otis; and while Otis has not been deposed It Is easy to see that Secretary Root proposes to let no man's position stand between the government and an early victory. Otla will be af forded every resource and opportunity to win In fact the victories he has so often nnnounced on paper; and the first evidence of failure on his part under these favorable circumstances will un doubtedly be the signal for a change In commanders. The era of buncombe In the war department has been closed. These thoughts suggest themselves In connection with tho very careful re view of PhlllDpIne conditions appear ing in the last Issue of Harper's Weekly from tho pen of Its Manila correspond ent, John F, Bass. This correspondent is an observer of varied experience and a man whose probity stands unchal lenged. The picture which he gives ac counts for the lecently enlatged scale ot the war department's preparations to make the approaching campaign a decisive one In Luzon. Mr. Bass shows by means of a map how small a por tion of the Island Is now actually held by tho Ameilcan forces as a compen sation for the good lives und treasure expended In the spring campaign, and he makes note of three icasons for this paucity of accomplished icsults. First, says he, the whole population of the Island sympathizes with the In surgents; only those natives whose Im mediate self-lnteiest requires It are friendly to us. There have been only half a dozen natives who have been In confidential telatlons with the Ameri can authoiltles at Manila nnd most of these Mr. Bass suspects to be spies of tho enemy. "The most Important moves of the Insurgents," he continues, "have not reached the secret service department until after they have oc curred. TSV-attack on Tondo the best conceived and executed movement made by the Insurgents fell on us like a thunder-bolt; the attack on the railroad an organized movement, re quiting some time for preparation was equally unexpected. The utter failure of peace negotiations, and the fact that none of tho Insurgent emissaries had any power to treat for peace or submit proposals, all point to an unwilling ness on the part of the Jnsui gents to give In. Add to this the persistence with which the Insui gents cany on a retreating fight, and come back as soon as our troops retlie, und the generally hostile attitude of nil natives. The fact that natives take lefuge within our lines Is no refutation of this statement, for these people come from the zone ot conflict, and they naturally want to get out of the way of the fighting. In every part of the islands where our ships have gone they have found only hostile natives, who acknow lodged no allegiance save to the Insurgent gov ernment. We find It of the utmost diffi culty to get guides to show us the way. Experienced native pilots on our gun boats suddenly become Ignorant of the character of the lake, the liver, and the bay, unexpectedly forgetting the position of the sand bais. The half-past-elgbt-o'clock rule is still on In Ma nila, and everybody must be Indoors, because tho authorities nre still afraid of an uprising In the town." The foregoing piesents the difficul ties of our task considered with refer ence to the opposition. The bocond reason cited by Mr. Bass Is that our army is lll-equlpped and unwieldy In Its management. Wuter-buffalo carts used as wagon trains in the pursuit of barefooted Insurgents Impress him as ridiculous, but to load the volunteers down, with 200 rounds of ammunition and Jno day's rations, and to put on their heads felt hats, In order to trot them under a boiling sun over a coun try without roads, he regards ns cilml nal. As to unwlcldlncss Mr. Bass says. "General Otis, whatever criticisms may be made against him, la tho Imperson ation of Industry, He directs every department, down to tho minutest de tails; every small bill or petition comes before him for approval; ho forms every plan for every military move ment, and directs Its execution, not day by day, but literally hour by hour. Generals and other officers have re peatedly told mo that, as things are munused now, no commanding ofllceis ure necessary except General Otis. Colonels of tho different regiments could do all tho work now required of generals. Bitter are tho complaints of nil the commanding offlceis on this point. They say that they cannot movo hand or foot without orders from the governor, who sits In his office from early morning till late at night. He has never been out on the lines, and I venturo to say that ho 1b tho only American otllcer of the original army In the Philippines who hat not seen a fight or a skirmish. lit known the country only from such Imperfect maps (any ofllcer In the army can testify how Imperfect these maps arc) as he him been nble to pick up from Spanish sources. The criticism la freeiy made here that, under those conditions, rely ing on hearsay evidence merely, It Is Impossible for a general to make Intel ligent plans, and that the fact that wo have been floundering about In tho wilderness for months without ttciiom pllshing uuythlnir Is the result of the efforts of one man to manage the wholesale as well ns the retail depart ment, without allowing any freedom of action to those officers who, from their positions on tho line, must have ft bet ter knowledge of tho details or the campaign." The third teason given by the cor respondent of Harper's Weekly for tho failure of the American army of occu pation to accomplish more In Luzon than has been accompllchcd thus far is thnt a definite and consistent policy has been lacking. By way of npcclfl eatlon ho cites the fact that Puslfr, tlvj second largest town In Luzon, was looted and burned; the villages for miles along the southern shore of La guna de Hay were laid waste. "Then," says he, "enmo n period when some times a town was burned and some times It was not, no plan being appar ently followed About halt tho tovn3 that weie destroyed along the railroad to Malolos were burned by us, tho oth er half by tho Insurgents. The height of .the ridiculous was reached when Malolos was captured. Here the ut most care was taken by our officers to protect property; u brigndler-general rode Into town nnd declaimed dramati cally that the honor of the United States required that our conduct should contrast with that of the Insurgents. The latter burned and pillaged, while we ptoteoted property and the rights of the people. The Spaniards wpro es pecially hated by the natives because they burned and pillaged In their war with the Insurgents, We have waged a harsh and a philanthropic war nt the same time. This policy, or, rather, lack of policy, would bewilder a clvll i?td people; it Is not likely to give the natives that confidence which It Is our endeavor to create." Another and perhaps even a more serious error, now everywhere recog nized as such, was tho failure to hold captured territory. "When General An derson first took Paslg in December," says Mr. Bass, "the preildcnte for mally surrendered the town. General Anderson was ordered to withdraw be cause his line was too long for the number ot men under his commnnd. The Insurgents came back to Paslg, and their first act was to hang the presldcnte for treason In surrendering to tho Americans. Presidentes do not surrender towns to us any more. When we retutned to Paslg we found tho place well fortified, and we suffered some loss In retaking it. This process might go on Indefinitely. The Maca bebes nre our best, and. I believe, our only, friends on Luzon Island, nnd yet, after wo had entered tho town of Macabebe, where we were received with enthusiasm, out forces, withdraw ing, allowed tho Insurgents to burn the town. This latter episode was not only a violation of one of the most com mon rules of conduct 'stand bv your friends'; it was the grossest mistake In policy. In every town we now take, those Inhabitants (and they are very few) who remain behind beg us to leavo a garrison when wo dppart, be cause. If we do not, the Insurgents on returning will treat them as enemies of their country. If there happen to be any natives inclined to be non-combative and to remain In their homes, they become very shy about making friends with the Americans." Excuses for these mistakes abound. The problem was a now one; the ter ritory and the people were unfamiliar; our government's ultimate Intentions were undefined; every difficulty of war making In general existed here In et. traordlnary emphasis und mnny unique difficulties were met that bad to tie solved through experience. It is not necessary nor prudent now to stop long to quarrel over tho question of respon sibility. The future Is the point. Pre parations making to meet It satisfy the counti y In respect to men and guns; but where there Is so much specific criticism of the commanding otllcer It would be well, one would think, to mako sure that the new forcea about to be landed at Manila shall be wisely handled. The need ex ists for a general at Manila In whom both nrmy and people would have deep confidence In time this Is quite likely, wo think, to result In the assignment to active command of the major general nominally commanding, Nelson A. Miles, or some other officer consid ered to be his equal In executive mili tary ability. The Pails paper which resents out side Interest in tho Dreyfus case forgets that all civilization Is Interested In tho maintenance of Justice. . Moral sentiment should not be a creature of geography.

Sir: In your editorial ot last Saturday "Tho Dreyfus cue un object lesxon In legal methods" 1 find this: "Even In an Anglo-Saxon court-martial, tho Jury is absolutely Impartial, etc." Allow me to obscrvo that there Is no Jury In a court mnitlal. In America, ns well as In France, they aro composed of appointed Judges only. Aa to the criminal procedure of French courts In general, It Is not so much against the accused ns you think. Two points specially glvo him moro fighting chances than In an American court. First The Judge Is not allowed to chat go tho Jury. Now, an;, lawyer will tell you that too often tho Judgo Is not entirely Impartial, that being accustomed to deal with crlmlnnls, ho sees too often a guilty man In an accused one, and that his Influence being very great to a Jury, ho Injures tho licet efforts ot the attorney for tho de. fense.
