Treaty Resp>on8lbiliti?Ba
Some of tbe extreme advocates of
expansion are foolish enough to
charge those whooppoee the fasten?
ing of such a policy upon our gov?
ernment with the blood that was
spilled in the recent battle with tbe
Filipinos ft Manila. The ranting
imitators of the colonial policy of
foreign governments had Letter "go
slow" in matters of this sort, aa it ia
generally umlerstood that that battle
assured tbe ratification of the treaty,
and that being the case the advocates
of the treaty felt a deeper interest in
bringing ou a collision tbe dsy be?
fore the vote was taken than the op?
ponents of the treaty. We do not
mean to assert that tbe treaty advo?
cate? were base enough to engineer
thia collision to further their plans,
but we mean to say that the Virginia
senators anil those who approve their
?tosition with resjiect to this treaty
were goverue?! by motives as patriot?
ic as those that animated the breasts
of any Americans.
The President an<l his advisors are
responsible for our peace commis
siouers entering into a contract to
pay $"i.0() per head for the Filipinos,
coupled with the privilege of ?hooting
them into subjection to our control.
Our frequent lud?an ware lilted us for
tins kind of military exercise, but as
the Indians have become decimated
through our mode of treatment and
the remainder have yielded to mer?
cenary measures, those in charge of
our government feel obliged to look
for otber game upon which our mili?
tary class can employ their ability to
shoot. Tis a pity our new hunting
grounds are so distant, the climate
so perilous, and the journey thither
so costly. But then, all at once we
have become so progressive that we
cannot find room at borne for the ex?
ercise of this talent, aud hence we
must enter Asian waters and watch
for our share of tbe spoils to follow
the eventual dismemberment of Chi?
na, which Senator Davis, one of tbe
commissioners, foresees, and we must
not count tbe costs of such big
stakes.
Looking at the treaty question from
the standpoint that it is desirable to
terminate the incident of war with
Spain we may conclude it was best
for our government ?o ratify the
treaty, aud afterwards organize in
oppositiou to tbe schemes for making
the Philippine Islands a permanent
portion of our national domain. Ap?
propriations by Congress of money
for their government and to fortify
tbem will be needed, and when these
matters are brought up the wisdom
of whether the end will justify the
means can be fully enquired into and
decided.
There is not much about tbe pop?
ulist that we admire, and we have
no use whatever for bis principal
teaching?that is. goverument fiat
can impart to and maintain a certain
value to any commodity without
any limit to the supply?but when we
see a good thing from a populist we
are willing to give him credit for it,
aud we will do the same with a re?
publican. The other day in tbe Sen?
ate, when the appropriations bill was
being cousidered and it had been an?
nounced th-t there would probably
be a shortage of $159,000,000 in the
treasury at the end of the fiscal year,
?Senator Allen, populist, inquired
why there was no mustering out of
major generala, brigadier-generals,
adjutants, paymasters, etc., who were
now sitting around Washington
toasting their feet and being merry
at the expense of the government,
with nothing to do. Tbe question
was a very pertinent one, and we
hope democratic senators will aid
?Senator Allen in pressing this sub?
ject upon tbe attention of tbe War
Department. If generals and their
staff bave no troops to command
?ince the latter have been mustered
out of service, we think the useless
officers ought also to be discharged
so that their support will cease to be
a charge upon the govern meut.
The appointment of a court by the
President to investigate the charges
touching tbe character of tbe beef
furnished our soldiers in Cuba and
Porto Kico will result, it is hoped, in
getting at the truth of these allega?
tions. While some of the people are
anxious to have the commissary de
partment vindicated, and others
again desire to see the charges of
(?en. Miles sustained, the mage of
tbem want to hear the facts eo that
those hereafter who may be chosen
to procure subsistence for the men
fighting the battles of their country
?will be in possession of larger infor?
mation on the food subject.
The investigation into the conduct
of the war, performed by a commis?
sion that aeemed to baya no members
opon it willing to bring in a verdict
that would give tbe Preaident dis?
pleasure, was a cosily affair since it
wholly failed to satisfy public opin
i ion. The nine commissioners were
paid $20 a day each for 138 days:
: their allowances for ex'?enees were
I $10 per day each, besides $8000 for
railroad fares. Pullmans, etc., and
$3000 for incidentals?making the
three items last mentioned almost
equal to another $V0 per day each;
rental af hslls, $3000; preparing re?
port, printing it, ??ta, $35,000; ex
pensee of witnesses, ?tc, $10,000;
other expenses, $3,400?making a to?
tal of $.-.?.660. The commission
must have doue a good deal of trav
1 el ling to spend $8000 in railroad
fare, and the wonder is that they
had time to use halls at all, although
they managed to run up a rental bill
of $3000. But we ought not to look
at any of these bills?we should es?
teem it a luxury to pay taxes for a
government that has taken its first
steps towards freeing people who are
''haukering''after our great and glori?
ous humanity, chemically prepared
beef, and Winchester-rifle persuaiive
ness to "benevolent assimilation."
Admiral Dewey his written a let?
ter, it is aaid, to a gentleman in ?South
! Carolina in which he declares that
he will not surrender the pleasure it
gives him to serve in the uavy for
any political office tbe people can
; confer upon him. Admiral Dewey
has won more fame than the presi
' dential office can bring to him. His
j decision is no doubt a great disap
i pointment to the Editor of the Cou

A Bloody Fight
A dispatch from Manila, dated
Feb. loth, says: Tbe American forces,
at 3 o'clock this afternoon, made a
; combined attack upou Caloocau aud
captured it. Caloocan is a town
about six miles northeast of Manila.
The Filipinos were mowed down
like grass. The American loss was
sligtit
At a signal from the tower of the
De Lome church the double-tur
reted monitor Monaduock opened tire
from tbe bay with tbe ten-inch guns
of her forward turret on tbe Filipiuo
earthworks at Caloocau. This had
great effect.
Soon afterward tbe Utah battery
bombarded the place from tbe land
aide.
The Filipinos reserved their fire
uu'il the bombardment ceased, when
they fired volleys of musketry at the
Montana regiment advanced on the
jungle near Caloocau. In this jungle
many Filipinos were concealed. They
were driveu out.
The Kansas regiment, on the ex?
treme left, with tbe Third Artillery
deploying to the right, charged across
tbe open and carried the earthworks,
cheering under a heavy fire. ?*Mip
ported by artillery at the church, the
troops advanced further, driving the
Filipinos, fighting every inch, right
iuto the town. Tbe Americans pen?
etrated to the heart of the town and
lowered the Filipino flag after the
fight had been in progress two hours.
The native sharpshooters in the
jungle fired at long range on the
Pennsylvania regiment, but were
soon -ileuced by shrapnel shells, and
the I enuaylvanisns remained iu the
trenches.
As tbe Americans advanced they
burned tbe native buta.

by tbe recent court-martial agaiust
Commissary-General Charles P. Fag?
an for the tatter's foul tirade against
General Miles, to six years' suspen?
sion from tbe service will not com
mend itself to conservative people.
While it waa generally believed
that the President would avail him?
self of the recommendation of lenien?
cy accompanying the finding of the
: court, nevertheless a reversal of that
sentence, which enables the vitriolic
Kagau to lounge through six years'
idleness at public expense?for the
officer is suspended on full pay?ra?
ther oversteps the popular idea of
tempering justice with mercy. It is
not unlikely that in some quarters
tbe amiable ex-Commissary General
will be regarded as subject to con?
gratulation upon the turn of fortune
which relieves him of responsibility
and continues his salaiy, and it is
conceivable that even that sorely tried
officer may himself be enabled?sus?
tained by the President's action?to
live his recent experience down.?

A Little Mixed.?Gen. James A.
Walker, republican, is contesting the
electiou of Judge W. F. Khea, dem?
ocrat, from the Ninth Cougressioual
district of Virginia, aud haa for sev?
eral weeks been takiug testimony. At
Had ford a few daya ago one of the
witnesses for Geutral Walker waa au
old colored mau, who swore he was
one hundred aud twenty-three years
old. He further said be was from
Kasteru Virginia, where he had "in
old times played many games of mar
bles with George Washington." He
meutioued, also, what perhaps the
history of that great mau baa failed
to record, that "Washington could
knock the middle man every time."
If this venerable colored mau ia as
old as be swears, he was born about
1776. About that time George Wash
ington was thinking more about how
to whip the British than how to
"knock the middle man." General
Walker's witness is unlike tbe "father
of his country," who couldn't tell a
story in that cherry tree incident. If
be is a specimen of the General's
witnesses. Judge Rhea need not be

Re-tady for the Inquiry
The at W. Herald publishes the
following from Washington:
Though a court of luquiry has
b-eeu ?jrvlertrd to investigate "certaiu
allegations of the Major General com
I mauding the army," it was not until
Friday that (.?eueral Miles received an
official copy of theorde.-. The friends
of General Miies assert that be has
nevrr made any direct allegations
that the supplies furuisbe?! to the
troops were unlit for issue, uor could
he have made them before he had
aeen for himself the character of the
meat furnished the troop?.
What General .Mile?? did wa? t?? in?
form the war commission that he bad
received reports from officers and
men unanimously condemning the
beef and canned meat. But he will
make uo objection to thin charge, and
will eudeavor to convince the court
by the facts in hia possession that the
meat supplied to the army we? bad.
General Miles had nothing to say
i today concerning the criticism-' made
upon him bv the war investigating
commission, but it is understood that
be is folly pr?paie?! to defend bun
self when the proper tune come?) for
him to do so. He bas a complete
