OPINION OF LONDON EDITORS.

London. April 1.-THE Times COM
nenting editorially on the latest phase
OF the situation, says: I'VE cannot
doubt that had the Sagasta government
taken this truly statesmanllke and pa
triotic action a little earlier. 1t would
have led to a solution honorable to Spain
and satisfactory to the United States.
Even now. despite the ominous tone Of
our New York correspondent, we find
II hard to believe that so signal an ad-
vance on the part of Spain will not meet
with some response from Washington.
1t is TO be earnestly hoped that nothing
In President McKinleys message will
CRATE needlessly upon the feelings OF
Spain or enhance Mr.. Sagastas diff
ficulties."
The Daily Mail says: "The armistice
implies a recognition Of the insurgents
as belligerents; and 1t is, therefore, q
very notable step. IL not too late"
The Daily Graphic thinks that unless
the powers are convinced that the Gu
ban insurgents will accept an armistice
and the United States is ready to give
autonomy a fair trial. their proceedings
are more creditable to their hearts
than to their heads@

Washington. April 1.-THE diplomatic
representative OF the Cuban insurgents
In this city. when asked what he thought

attitude OF being unreasonable; but we

THE TERRITORIAL Law.

The most definite Information we
have on the subject OF the proposed
government OF this territory, is con-
tanned in a dispatch from Washington
10 the New York Tribune 1t is evil
dent that the Commissioners have re-
yealed what their proceedings are, or
that an active correspondent has OBJ
ton.
The most interesting point developed
in the dispatch is the resolution of the
commission to maintain in the organic
law, the property qualification for suf-
n1go: AS majority of the Congress
sional commission are Republicans, it
indicates that the party is willing to
establish property qualification in the
territorial form of government. The
principle boldly maintained in the re-
that the negro, however ignorant,
should vote ON equal terms with the
white man, Is now abandoned. Thirty
years of experience with the negro, as
an equal Citizen" has converted even
his strongest political friends to the
belief that he cannot discharge the du-
ties OF good citizenship. Even though
it is given to him by the Federal Con-
stitution, the Republican party shows
no disposition to aid him. The gov
ernment sees the negro driven out Of
power In North Carolina with shot
gums, without attempting to interfere.
The Republican party will not, in ex-
ecuting it's policy of expansion, cling
TO the obsolete doctrine of self-govern-
ment, because it is not doctrine of
universal application. After the Civil
war. no men shouted so loudly about
the rights Of manhood suffrage, and the
wickedness of depriving the negro of
his vote, as the leaders of the Repub-
dican party. Within few years they
nearly succeeded in passing the Force
bill In the interests of the negro. The
new light has changed public opinion.
Placing property qualification on
the vote OF the people OF this territory
is merely a sign of the expanding
thought of the Republican party.

DUTCH COLONIES.

The DItchmen, after. accommodating
experience during several generations,
are now colonial experts. The follow
ing is an excellent account of their
methods, given by Dutchman:
1--WE Dutchmen in Java" he says,
move like a drop of Oil-very, very
slowly, but all the time moving-and
by and by, when something is ac-
comp liShed, it has come about so grad
ua1ly that nobody knows how it hap
pened. We pay the native priests, we
support large native police force, and
we rule by the hands and mouths OF
the natives; but all the time we have
our own people on guard, and no i'm
portant move is made without our con-
sent Thus the people and their chiefs
are contented and happy, and we keep
them so by maintaining a condition
more favorable than they could hope
to maintain themselves. We encour-
age a healthy morale by permitting
native and European Soldfery to marry
and live together in families, and we
never send a Dutch official to the Col
onies unless he is endowed with quail
titles likely to improve the condition OF
things. All our officials must work,
and work hard. The improved condi-
ton Of our natives over their fellows
elsewhere shows, the writer thinks,
what can be dome. Eventually the en-
tire colony will be ripe for similar
government. The profitable side Of
the account is traceable to the opera
tions of the Netherlands Trading Gem
pany, which is only another name for
the Dutch Government. This COM
pany actually plants crops, manufac-
lures, and sells on lands held by the
Government. The Government at
home operates as a planter and mer-
chant, and it's immense net income is
the product of legitimate toll and en-
terprise. and not of burdensome taxa
ton. We succeed among strange peo-
ple," he concludes, because we do
more for them than they can do for
themselves, and any other scheme OF
colonization is bound to end in fail
ure."
The United States will, if 1t retains
the Philippines, learn the art Of gov
erning colonies, through it's civil SER
vice agents. There will be no lack of in
telligent men, who in few years, may
excel the Dutchmen in the art. What
the conservative men fear is that the
methods employed in appointing In
dian agents will be followed. If there
were any assurances that the Philip
pines would be properly governed by
our agents, very much of the opposi-
ton to expansion would end.

less hallucinations OF inexperienced
| diplomacy, and scented the foul air OF
Spanish dungeons for our respectable
citizens. 1t was not until Annexation
day, however, that we discovered,
| through the Minister'S remarks, how
great our peril mad been.
IL now appears that he organized
and personally conducted this exhibit
ton of devotion, and must be reward
ed for it, even if the platforms of the
great political parties of the country
must be knocked into splinters in Or
der TO do it.
So far as we can discover the reason
for urging the appointment of this
Only Candidate, it is that he must be
rewarded for his heroic treatment of
our affairs in that awful hour, when
we were dancing over mine of Span
ish torpedoes and did not know it.
From this standpoint, it looks to us
like the case of the tramp who pulls
the doorbell at o'clock in the morn
appears, says: Say mister, l just
scared off a burglar what was gettin'
into yer house. Can't yer give me
quarter? I done my duty like man."
Accepting the declaration of the Re-
publican party that the territory
should furnish its own officers, the re-
volt of the Special Agent and his
friends against the party declaration
can only be justified ON the ground
that it is simply impossible to make
that declaration effective on these ISL

Hannis Taylor, ex-Minister to Spain

strong enough to contribute to the
North American Review. This fact
alone warrants at least study and
thought on his views of the work of
the American commissioners at Paris
A good many Of the public addresses
on Expansion and Imperialism now be-
ing heard in the United States have to
a distinct degree the impressive quail
ity of the language required in en-
deavor to force a glittering generality
as genuine statement or declaration.
According to the President of the
Cuban Assembly, the Islanders who
have been engaged in the revolution
business for so many years and who
were the cause of the war between
Spain and the United States, have no
appreciation whatever Of the theory of
rule by majority.

HEROIsM MUST BE REWARDED.

AS the campaign Of the Only Candi-
date develops, it appears that his claim
IN the governorship Of this territory
rests upon his indomitable courage,
uauntless bravery, and heroic 'hold the
fprt" spirit manifested at the time the
abandonment of neutrality was under
discussion.
The true inwardness Of the situation
was not, however, publicly known, un-
TIA Mr. Sewall, as American Minister,
On Annexation day, in an official utter
ance, celebrated the transfer of the flag
by Ringing an insult at the men who
had inaugurated and maintained the
revolution. 1t was done in these words
referring to neutrality: 1.-THE nation
has tried you (the citizens of HawaiD
and found you true-when you refused
to listen to the suggestions of the sell
fish and timid, and at your peril, Of
Gered up all that these Islands had to
offer up as sacrifice on the altar Of
devotion, etc"
The Minister on this occasion had
corralled all the opportunities for fer
Vid remarks, and, of course. had it all
his own way in denouncing men who
were responsible for the act, as selfish
and timid" Having unnecessarily
charged men with cowardice, he must
expect that his own motives and con-
duct will be measured by the same
standard
While these selfish and timid' men,
were hesitating, he, it seems, was
frantically rushing about, pulling these
panic-stricken wretches from under the
beds, was pouring cordials down their
Threats, SO that they could stand on
their trembling feet, and totter up to
the "altar of devotion"
At the time these startling events
were taking place, and Mr.. Sewall was
by sheer moral, intellectual and posi-
bly, physical force, holding these panic
stricken wretches up to their work, the
Intelligent citizens of the place were
stolidly indifferent to the frightful
perils at hand.

and move to the Coast, and he replied
promptly "it cannot leave the Philip

whatever. The "altars of DEVOTION
