?w UNCLE SAM LENIENT.
According' to advices from both Paris
and Washington it seems Unit the
United States government will assume
control of the Philippine Islands on a
basis which should be very satisfac?
tory to Spain. According to these re?
ports the Spanish government will he
reimbursed for all money expended in
developing the islands, except in those
places now occupied by American troops
or controlled by the American navy.
This is an eminently fair and liberal
proposition and if the Spaniards have
an iota of common sense they will ac
cept it without undue parleying. No j
matter what the Spaniards may say
regarding the matter, it is plainly evi- !
dent that the great American republic
will not take advantage of its magnifi?
cent victory to impose onerous and un?
reasonable terms upon the vanquished j
With this matter disposed of the work
of the Peace Commission should be
greatly simplified. The question of Hie
disposition of the Philippines was re?
cognised from the very beginning as be?
ing the most dangerous ami knotty pro.
blem to be discussed. Undoubtedly the
fact that Spain would be forced to re?
capture the greater portion of the ar?
chipelago even If the United States
government should agree to renounce all
claim to the islands, will probably have
some weighl with the Spanish commis?
sioners when it comes to finally decid?
ing the matter. They will probably ar?
gue that it is belter to accept a given
sum from Uncle Sam than to take the
chances of gaining the whole territory
again by either diplomacy or further
righting.
It is quite eveldent thai the adminis?
tration tit Washington is disposed to
ti-at the dons with till Hie leniency
they deserve, and the Spanish com?
missioners will he exceedingly foolish if
they fail to take advantage of this fact
while they may. It has been shown
that neither bluffs nor the much vaunt
. ed Castilian diplomacy can accomplish
anything which the common sense of
the American Commissioners does nut
sanction. Spain has the worst end of
the situation and should diligently avail
itself of an opportunity to make the
best of it.
A GOOD-BYE AND A WELCOME.
Mr. Waldo Porter Johnson left this
city yesterday to take a position with
the Newport News Press. Mr. Johnson
has been for .a long time connected with
this paper and is well and favorably
known to the citizens of charleston.
He is a courteous gentleman, a grace?
ful writer, an industrious gatherer of
the news, and thoroughly devoted to
his chosen profession. We reflect the
sentiments of the whole Gazette force,
as well as of his many Charleston
friends, in cordially wishing him good
luck and long years ..!' prosperity.?
Charleston (W. Va.) Gazette.
Mr. Johnson has accepted the position
'of city editor of the Daily Press, sue
feeding ?lr. John B. Locke, who was
recently appointed referee in bankrupt?
cy for this district. 11.- was for some
time city editor of the Norfolk Virgin?
ian and is a'newspaner man of reong.
nlzed ability. The Daily Press is grat.
ified at it* good fortune in securing the
services of so valuable man. Mr.
Johnson's welcome as a member of its
fluff 1? as cordial and sincere us the
farewell felicitations of our esteemed
West Virginia contemporary are grace?
ful and eommandutory.
Mr. John I!. Locke, who has been city
editor of the Daily Press for the past
two years, retires from the service of
the paper with the best wishes of the!
management and Iiis assoi lutes m 'he
business, editorial and mechanical de?
partments.
Both of the Republican nominees for
Congress in the Second District are
"confident" of winning in the fight
which will close next Tuesday night.
We also not., with interest that the
friends of Hon. National Issue Roose?
velt are "i on!:.lent" that his side show
will go j,,,,, Albany at a rattling gallop
to the tune of a hundred thousand mn
jority. Confidence is a very good assert
unless it is -at a sixteen to one basis?
the one representing the propnrti.I'
votes upon which He- "contldelice" it"
based. In which event it is sometimes
disappointing.
If an ordinance looking to the regu?
lation of building matters ill Newport
News is introdu.I at tonight's session
of the Council, it is to be hoped thai
the City Fathers will consider the mat?
ter th.uglily and lake wise action in
reference to the question. There can be
no doubt thai Iber.- is great laxity in
Newport News so far as authoritative
regulall.f building matters is con?
cerned. It is only necessary to refer
to the recent accident in Itoeketts in
Order to show thai the subjec t Is an
important one and on,- which should lie
