termeddllnG Of large body OF people
who have never studied the questions at
issue, and whose only interest Is per-
sonal one. It is true that there are many
women who do not study public ques-
tons from pure and dlsinterested mo-
tives. and who try their best to bring
about purer form Of government, but
these are inevitably few and far be-
tween, and presumably will so continue,
for none but the very highest and larg-
est natures will be content to work at a
matter In which their toll can be only
vicarIOusly effective. as Is the case
where women are concerned in political
work.

County.

a Plea Ter VOIeo IN the ARairs Of tile
County.
It Is frequently maintained that wo-
men are represented in government by
the men, who are akin TO them. This
statement has been openly made by
many, and, among others, by women
who do not desire the suffrage. But in
what possible way can woman be rep
resented by her husband. son or broth
er IL she has no voice in the matter. and
can neither choose nor refrain from
choosing. She may sympathIze keenly
with the political opinions OF her near
male relatives, but she is In no sense
represented by them even then Repre-
sentation implies freedom Of choice.
And how many women are there in
America who do not sympathize with
their relatives, or who have none near
enough to be said, by any stretch OF i'm
aglnatlon. 10 even VIRTUALLY" represent
them? Take one family as q type OF
many more. The mother and unmar-
ried daughter live together and pay
taxes ON their property. The only son
Is married, and lives in distant city.
BY whom are these women represented?
Their only near relative lives far away,
not even In the same state, and he has
a wife OF his own whom he must repre-
sent II he represents any woman. The
only available representatives for the
mother and daughter are their coach
man and gardener, and those women, IL
questioned would reply that they do not
consider themselves represented In any
way, either virtually or directly, by
those excellent men, who. though most
satisfactory in performance Of their re-
spective duties. cannot be said to share
the political views OF their employers In
any way whatever.
The injustice OF this state OF things
would seem apparent to all fair minded
persons. But there is stili another side
OF the question. 1t is not only that the
disfranchlsed women are unfairly treat
ed, but the public good inevitably SUI
fers from the political non-exlstence OF
half the citizens Of the republic. There
are but two things possible, either wo-
men are interested in politics or they
are not. II the former, the country Is

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The Washing
ton correspondent Of the Journal OF
Commerce telegraphs as follows: Presl-
dent Mckinley proposes 10 pursue the
same cautious policy in the extension
Of American authority over our new de-
Tendencies which he pursued In prepar-
ing for the war with Spain, He always
prefers that policies shall be thorough
~ digested and understood BY the peo-
pie before they are put in force. in or
der that no backward step may be re-
CURED. He is anxious for this reason
to avoid an extra session OF Congress
for the discussion of our foreign rela-
lions and our obligations in the new
dependencies He does not feel pre-
pared 10 recommend q complete scheme
OF civil government in any of the de-
tendencies and believes that infOrma-
ton should be accumulated and public
opinion should rlpen before hastH ac-
ton Is taken by Congress, This is es-
necIally the case in regard TO the Philip
pines. The problem presented in Porto
Rico Is one Of the form of government
simply. There is no question there Of
the complete and permanent sovereign
ty OF the United States. The situation
is more complicated IN both the Philip
pines and Cuba. Many shrewd observ-
ers believe that all these islands will
finally be under the complete sovereign
" OF this country, but this Will not be
assumed as settled at present. The
President has given sincere assurance
TO the promoters of the anti-imperiat-
lists movement that he is ready 20 con-
slider reasonable plans for the future
disposition OF the Philippines which do
not involve Spanish sovereignty and do
not involve the destruction OF American
influence In the islands, Whether COM
pIete American sovereignty is not pre-
ferable to the maintenance OF a phan-
tom local government OF any Compllca-
ted form OF protection mag not be an
easy question to answer in the near fu-
ture, but the President feels that Moth
ing Will be lost by leaving It open for
argument until his information is more
nearly complete and the attitude Of the
people Is more clear.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1898-12-02

With this programme OF conservatism
the President will recommend the con-
tinuance OF military government, in the
dependencies for the present II It is
pointed out to him that certain pro-
visions can be made for the protection
OF civil rights and the creation of sta
BILE commercial conditions In Porto RI
co. without destroying his freedom of
acton in regard to the form Of govern
mant ultimately recommended for the
Island, the President will not object 10
such legislation by Congress. One of the
reasons for his hesitation in seeking
legislation at too early date is the de-
sire that the sentiment OF the people
shall grow In favor Of an efficient and
hon-poHtIcal civil service in the new
dependencies. The success OF Great
Britain 10 Egypt and British India, as
well as her liberal policy towards the
colonies where AngIo-Saxon self-gov-
eminent Is possible. are examples which
he is studying with much interest. 1t Is
not unlikely that he will recommend
rigid system Of civil service eXamina
lions for the minor places under the
government of the dependencies and the
selection OF the best men In the exist
ting civil service by transfer aud pro-
motion. The real test OF the character
Of the new governments will depend up
on the character and executive ability
OF the governor general. 1t Is practical
" certain that, even II civil government
So established, the United States can
not aifOrd to surrender the right OF abb
Goi1te veto upon the action OF local as
eemblies. This right OF veto will be
vested IN the civil head Of the commu-
nifty, subject to the approval OF the au-
thorities at Washington. The exercise OF
this power by foreigner, with deli
cacy which will dlsaTm local prejudice
ana an efficiency which will develop the
full economic capacity OF the dependen-
cieS, will require a character and Rbil-
~ for which the President intends to
mike very earnest search.
