The Philippine Junta.

The Star which adverted to it yesterday,
may be pardoned another word today on
the mission of Aguinaldo's agents to this
capital. They are here to forward his pur-
poses respecting government for the Phli-
ippines, and they are already IN commum-
cation with those who are inimical 10 the
peace treaty. AS The Star said yesterday
this is very delicate business. 1t trenches
very closely on the improper and forbidden.
This government is not inviting outside
suggestions as to the treaty 1t would not
tolerate them from any recognised power.
Should it suffer them from private indi-
vidual who, now that Spain's flag is down
in the Philippines. has no status of any
kind? Aguinaldo is no longer a subject of
Spain. He is not an American citizen. and
>he government of which he proclaims him
self the head exists only on paper What
right has he therefore to be heard respect
ing the treaty?
As to his right to be heard after the
treaty has been ratified all will depend on
his attitude at that time. If he lays down
his arms and gives in his submission
D. omptly to American authority, his views
as to the future of the Philippines will be
in order and will doubtless be received
and considered with respect. The govern
r.ent will be seeking information on that
subject and from all sides. But if ne keeps
his followers in line with guns in their
hands. and offers armed resistance to the
United States, then he Will not only forfeit
his right to be heard as to the American
policy of control, but will become an enemy
of the country. And his representatives
here will be placed in d most extraordinary
position Imagine a Philippine junta estab-
lished here in Washington, with Aguinaido
in the field defying this governments au-
tkority,
These Filpinos have set off the
wrong foot. They cannot hope to achieve
their ends by antagonizing the United
States. Nothing as yet unaccomplished is
more absolutely certain than that the fu-
tUre OF the Philippines will rest entirely
with this government. Spain has relin-
quished her authority, and when this gov
ernment formally assumes its authority the
immediate submission of the Fflipinos will
be the only wise course for them to pursue.
At later day will come the question of
permanent government for the archipelago.

suntiago's school Board Row.

They have been enjoying an object lesson
in cool-headed American government at
Santiago. Gen. Wood, the military gov
ernor has been trying to teach the Cubans
under his charge how to govern them
selves and he has placed some of the best
of them in responsible positions. Lately
the school board has been getting into
snarIs with the mayor over routine affairs
and the difficulties have just eliminated in
an open rupture and the resignation of the
members of the board. Gen. Wood, how
ever. will not let the board resign. He has
told them that they are good men and are
doing excellent work for the community
that they must remain in office while he
adjusts the differences between them and
the mayor. The differences are not insur-
mountable. More than likely the trouble
arises from a sense of pride over the re-
spective jurisdictions. The newness of the
peoples participation in the government is
revealing itself in this friction. The
American governor steps in and straightens
things out by suggesting that the mayor
and the school commissioners can all take
part in the administration of affairs. There
Ia room for them without difficulties aris-

carnesies, the Parkhursts and the anti

Carnegies, the Parkhursts and the anti
imperial League of Boston?
If this is Mr.. Bryan's program one OF the
difficulties in the way will be the bald self
seeking disclosed. The attempt to force the
issue in time 10 help Mr.. Bryan to an
other presidential nomination will stand
out too conspicuously. This question OF
imperialism or expansion, is far too i'm
portant to be converted into stepping
stone for an ambitious politician. 1t is of
greater moment that it should be decided
with deliberation and only after full ad-
visement than that Mr., Bryan or anybody
else should be furnished with a campaign
cry for 1850. The eountrys interests are
greater than Mr. Bryans interests.
Mr.. Bryan would have the people of the
Philippines and of Porto Rico vote at once
upon the question of government Does ne
really think that they are prepared to wise
ly decide that question now? VIII any
harm be likely to come to them or to the
United States from a reasonable delay? Is
there any threat of injury TO them in an
nexation? Does Mr.. Bryan doubt the abil-
ity of this country to give to those Islands
better government than they have hitherto
ever known?

lhE this government TO keen the pbiIiD

W n1 Tuba, until a stable government is
Established. the expansion issue would be

NOT settled In some such way as this he
said' II would continue to be a matter of
discussion until IL was disposed Of and
NCulu' therefore, remain one of the issues
before the people.
With Porto Rico. Mr. BRYAN said the
situation could be simplified easily, He he
tleVed the people Of the island should first
ne permitted 10 vote whether they desired
annexation 10 this country or the forma-
lion OF an independent republic
Mr.. Bryan is represented here as baIanc-
ing TWO issues with reference to 1900 For
the first time he is quoted as not being
oocksure as to the paramountcy OF silver
Is he wObbling? Are the conferences with
Mr.. Carnegie and DR.. Parkhurst beginning

justing himself 10 Imperialism" as he
turned from the tariff TO silver? His repu-
tation rests as much upon a quick detec-
ton of changing public sentiment as upon
popular eloquence in stating his case. Is
he preparing to abandon the west and seek

of sixty miles an hour was shot from the

American Influence I'm Porto Rico
From tho phflahcInbj, pa,ord

Under Spanish rule in Porto Rico the an
nual budget of expenses was about 1000 =
900 pesos. whereas the outlay for next
year, as determined by Military Governor
Henry, will be only 100000 pesos. At 9o
cents per peso this would represent per
capita reduction of taxation on the island
from $40 annually to $1.7O-a practical
stroke of administration, which every
worker and property owner in Porto Rico
will readily comprehend and appreciate A
similar boom awaits Cuba when American N
authority shall have been fully established
there, and thus the task of governing the
islands will have been vastly lightened in
advance. For the new administrations in
these long devastated and tax-ridden is
lands there could be no more auspicious
beginning than in a material reduction of
the current oppressive rates of taxation.
