The administration ran up against
another mortifying humiliation last
week. After officially denying for
months that the Filipinos had been
treated cruelly and inhumanly by
our army officers, it was confront¬
ed by evidence, including the tes¬
timony of two eye-witnesses before
the Senate committee on the Phil,
ippines, so plain that it could not
be dodged, and Secretary Root
was compelled to practically ac¬
knowledge that he had known of
cruel treatment of Filipinos and
had directed Gen. Chaffee to gath¬
er evidence witn a view to court-
martailing Gen. Jacob H. Smith,
who ordered Maj. Waller to kill
“everything over ten;” Maj. Ed¬
win F. Glenn, Lieut. Arthur L.
Gonger and other officers implica¬
ted in testimony that has been
given by American soldiers. Secre¬
tary Root sought to lessen this hu¬
miliation by making public orders
tent to Gen. Chaffee to prosecute
before court-martials these brutes
who hava disgraced the American
uniform, but he has only convicted
the administration of misrepresen¬
tation by showing that after such
orders had bean sent it persisted in
denying that there had been any
cruel treatment by responsible of¬
ficers. It seems that there is no
phase of thej Philippine question
that can be dug into without un¬
covering official lies and misrepre¬
sentation.
The Philadelphia Ledger, dis¬
cussing the Boer war and the pros¬
pective terms of peace, says:
4 4 There was nothing which did so
much to bring the North and the
South together after the surrender
of Lee to Grant as the generous
terms, the virtually universal am-
nesty, granted the Confederates.
During the war all means to crush
were used by the North, and,when
the war was ended, all mean* to
conciliate. Is it possible that our
esteemed contemporary means
what it says, “all means to concil¬
iate?” Was there any conciliation
in the North’s enfranchising the
blacks and forcing them into a
dominating position in the South?
Was there conciliation in the
North’s permitting the South to be
overrun by blacklegs, scalawags,
carpet baggers and other political
robbers, whom,with the negroes, it
upheld with bayonets at Southern
ballot boxes? It is freely admitted
that Grant’s terms to Lee were
generous and conciliatory in nature
but the attitude of the North dur¬
ing the eleven years of the recon¬
struction period could not by any
courtesy or stretch of imagination
be said to have invited the friend¬
ship and confidence of the South.

State Treasury Again Low.
The indications are now that the
governor will have to borrow mon¬
ey in order to make the next pay¬
ment to the school teachers of the
state. The funds in the treasury
are at a pretty low ebb, and there
will not be a sufficient amount on
hand when all the specific taxes
have been collected to make the
full payment to the teachers.
Treasurer Park says that nearly
all the reports have been received
from tax collectors and that within
the next ten days he will have in
the treasury all the money that is
coming from special taxes and
other sources at this time. It will
require a little more than $300,000
to pay the teachers for their second
month’s work this year, and when
everything is collected there will
not be enough on hand to make
tlie payment.
It will probably be necessary to
borrow to make the payment. Per¬
haps it will require $100,000, and
perhaps a little less. The governor,
as is well known, has authority to
borrow to the extent of $200,000 to
meet temporary deficiencies, and
there will be no trouble in getting
the money when the time comes.
The next payment to the teachers
will probably uot be made before
the middle of May.
