Mountain Sickness.

In a recent lecture by Dr. Arthur
Neve, in which he describes his travels
in Kashmir and little Tibet, some val
liable information was given as to diff
ficulty of breathing experienced by
mountaineers at high attitudes. DR..
Neve states that he found that If more
than 5000 feet or 10000 feet is ira
versed in a day, the traveller is almost
sure to suffer from mountain sickness !;
but if the ascent is made with greater
deliberation no inconvenience is ex-
perienced. His party therefore made it
a rule to encamp on their way toward a
mountain top in order that they might
get accimatized, and they found that.
although the mercurial pressure was
getting comparatively low, their
breathing maintained its usual rate. So
thoroughly did DR.. Neve get accus-
toned to the rarefed air that at a
hight considerably over 10000 feet he
was able to take eighty PAGES to. the

In 1896 Spain, on behalf of her East
Indian possessions, the Philippines, in
CURED a debt Of $40,0O0,000 for the
purpose Of suppressing the insurrection.
The interest was placed at per cent.
and a lien was given upon the Philip
pine customs revenues. and behind that
Spain placed her national guaranty. 1t
cannot be said, therefore, that the debt
Is Philippine debt, for it is Spanish
obligation pure and simple. 1t was for
Spanish national purposes, and it is
safe to say that not one-third of the
money was used for suppression Of the
insurrection, but that the two-thirds of
it went into the Madrid treasury. We
have now agreed to pay Spain $50. Co.,
0OO as a salve for this debt sore, a So
latium. clear generosity. The very fact
that we have refused to admit the OBJ
legation of the Philippines for the $40,-
100000 debt settles beyond question the
matter of liability. 1t amounts to de-
nial that the island revenues are bur-
dened with the obligation. The money
was borrowed for an express purpose,
and upon the security in part to be
made good by the accomplishment of
that purpose. Spain has wholly failed
to achieve that end. Her creditors
gambled upon her ability to win, and
having lost they must look toi their
second security the national TREASURY
Of Spain. That is all there is in the
Philippine debt question. The Peace
Commissioners have treated it in the
proper spirit, and the people of the
United States approve the firm stand
taken by them in the matter.

AN UNFOUNDED FEAR.

The fear is entertained by a good
many Of our statesmen that in attempt
ing to administer the affairs of the
Philippine Islands the United States is
going to drift into a policy so paternal
that it will seriously involve the ques-
ton of the liberties and present form
of government of our own people. We
do not believe that there is reason for
this fear. That there has been a
strong demand for paternalistic sys-
TENS at home of late, Is undeniable. The
growth of socialism into our political
and social life has tendencies in that
direction. The socialists would have
the State wholly paternal, and vest in
and commit to tt all matters and affairs
concerning the control of property, the
distribution of the products of labor,
and the dispensation of the rewards of
genius and enterprise.
But the United States is very far, as
yet, from being paternal government.
In it's charge of the new possessions 1t
will so far from treating them as mere
wards for all time, seek the earliest pos
sible opportunity to put them upon
their own feet, and extend to them all
possible aid to enable them to stand
alone Until they are so equipped with
strength, and with knowledge of free
institutions, they must be treated as
the children of a great family and
wholly subject to paternal control.
This is of necessity, It Is simply inn
possible to convert by Act Of Congress
some millions of foreigners into Amer
leans as we understand Americans to
be- The naval and military arms must
be extended over them for time, in
deed for a long time. But unquestion-
ably the eye Of the Government will be
steadfastly fixed upon that point In
time when these possessions may stand
forth free and independent, but insep-
arabic colonies of the Unitd States.
In the meantime we ayprehend that
every effort by the Executive arm Of
the Federal Government, and all legis-
lation by Congress. will be directed to
the training and education of the peo-
pie of the islands, so as to fit them for
the State into which, it is the wish of
the American people they shall finally
enter. But will this exercise of power
over the new possessions tend to culti-
vate the paternal spirit at home? We
think not. Paternally we have. en-
larged the garment of Federal power
already to what we think will remain
it's limit.
The government of the islands will
have no relation whatever to home
government. The conditions there and
here are and win remain so dissimilar
that it is not probable results In the
new possessions will have any effect
whatever upon our policy in home gov
ernment We can see no reason why
it should, and therefore there is MOTH
ing to respond to in considering the
matter. Those who entertain the fears
referred to have advanced no argument.
suggested no line of reasoning Justify
ing their fears. 1T is simply pessimis-
tic and tinid expression.

The recent race war in North Caro-

trouble was the utterances of the off,

The record-union., 1898-11-30

This trouble is said to be the first
race war of serious proportions ever
occurring in North Carolina In this
case 1t is said the trouble was not so
much of a political nature as the re-
suit of an editorial published in the
negro paper rejecting on the white
women. Some of the Republicans say
that the editor deserved his treatment,
but they all regret the occurrence.
Mayor Waddell of Raleigh says the de-
struction of Manly's office had been
planned some time ago, but action had
been delayed because of the fear 1t
would influence the election.

ing matter of our relations with and
treatment Of the Philippine insurgents.
We entertain the belief, however.
that wise policy will disarm Aguin-
aldo and his followers. Immediate re-
lief from the onerous taxation which
relief from the rule of intolerance,
which has made them the puppets of
ecclesiastics; as large measure of free
dom politically as they are capable of
exercising being granted to them; as
full home rule policy as the public
safety will permit-these and similar
measures, coupled with a firm. strong
control by the hand of power in the
meantime, will bring over to US the
greater body of the insurgents who
have material interests at stake, and at
an early date eliminate the insurrection
completely from the Philippine problem.
It Is related that in the treaty about
to be covenanted there is to be agree
ment concerning revival OF several old
commercial and other treaties between
the United States and Spain, that
trade relations may be restored at the
earliest possible moment; a proviso
that all political prisoners held by
Spain on account of the Cuban re-
bellion shall be restored to liberty and
their homes; that the agreement en-
tered into eleven years ago giving to
the Caroline Islands religious freedom
shall be now carried into effect. and
several other minor matters at issue
between the two nations. all which
will be cleaned UP and set right. But
concerning all these we have as yet
no official information, and speculation
over them is profitless.

An Unwarranted Hardship
on the Greeks.


States vs.. Marchie Chisolm ant
Thomas Atkins: opinion by Judg'
John R. Thomas.
In reviewing this opinion th'
writer proceeds with becoming
candor, and disclaims any intern
ational disrespect for the high
authority by which it was rem,
dered.
The defendants were Creek In.
dians and citizens of the Greek ma.
tion. They were indicted for a
criminal offense and brought to
trial before the district court Of the
United States at Muskogee, |. T.
They objected to the jurisdiction
OF the court on the ground that the
act of congress defining the juris-
diction of said court was unconsti-
tutional, being in conflict with
the terms of the Creek treaty of
1866. This conflict was conceded
by the court; it was held, however,
that the act in question was never
theless constitutional, and had the
effect, pro tanto, to annul the
treaty. The defendants were held
for trial.
The court says, 'In its exercise
of sovereign power, the govern
ment of the United States may
abrogate treaties either by its in
vading armies and roaring can
non, or by the more peaceful, SUBJ
jugating power of the small arms
of congressional legislation"
The court here, at the outset,
seems to misconceive the true ma
tiire of the question; it is not one
of power, but of right. No indi-
vidual, state, or sovereignty ever
has the right to abrogate a fair
agreement which he has made
with another individual, state, or
sovereignty. To hold otherwise
would upset all government, end
embark mankind in general war
OF aggression and uprisal. 1t is
true, nations, from one cause or
another, are sometimes induced to
do this; but never without first
putting themselves on war foot
ing in order that they may be able
to sustain themselves in The wrong
ful act. 1t is a contradiction in
terms to talk about abrogaling a
treaty by the peaceful methods of |
legislation-by the peaceful meth
DDS OF a war measure. Whether
the end is attained by means of |
roaring cannon" in the open
held, or by the 'small arms" of
legislation, the effect is the same;
The peace is broken. There NAV
not be single gun fred, nor a
single drop of blood shed; but the
party that, in such cases, is made
% stand the wrong resulting from
'uch an arbitrary act of injustice,
generally receives a wound upon
he lnnerman full as destructive to
lis peace of mind as could be a
'aber stroke upon the outer man.
As the result of this decision the
'eace OF the whole Creek people
las been most seriously disturbed:
nen, women and children through
'ut the nation have been made
but peaceful under the
'nrden ofthis great wrong. The /
brogation of this treaty fell upon
