THE FARMERS AND REFORM.

me Ierre Haute Express favors the move
ment for reform in township and county
government, but fears that the farmer MEM
bers of the Legislature will oppose any radi-
cal change in the present system. 1t bases
this view on the fact that throughout the
State generally farmers are elected to the
offices of township trustee and county COM
missioner, and that as they always consti-
tute considerable proportion if not a ma
Jority of the Legislature they will oppose
and prevent any legislation which proposes
to abolish or consolidate offices which they
usually fill. The Journal does not concur in
this view. 1t seems to assume that the farm
ers in the Legislature will for selfish rea-
sons oppose reform in a system or methods
of government Of which they are, at pres
ent, largely the administrators and benefi-
Charles. This implies that they would place
personal interests above those of the public
The Journal sees no reason for believing
this. On the contrary, farmers as a class are
strongly in favor of honest and economical
government and of holding public officials of
all grades to a rigid accountability. There
may be small number of farmer-p politicians
who would like to profit by the loose,
crooked or wasteful methods of local gov
eminent which prevail under the present
system, but the number of these must be
very small indeed compared with the mass
who are in favor of retrenchment and re-
form and of honest and economical govern
ment. The Journal predicts that the strong
est support of an intelligent and practical
scheme of reform in municipal government
will come from the farmer members of the
practical scheme, because it must be such
a one as will commend itself to the judg-
ment of the farmer members, many of
whom have had practical experience in local
offices and have made something of a study
of the subject. The average farmer is ma
ally conservative, but open to conviction ana
friendly to progress and reform if he can
be convinced that they are genuine. But he
must be fairly convinced of this before he
will vote to exchange an established system,
even with it's defects. for a new and untried
one that does not hold out pretty strong
assurance of Improvement For this reason
the more simple and less complicated the
proposed plan of reform is and the palmer
guarantees it contains of increased respon-
sibility and efficiency, and economy in local
government the more likely it will be to
receive the support of the farmer members
of the Legislature.

The annual report of Commissary General
Eagan makes 1t very clear that it was not
his fault if troops were not supplied with
proper food, wherever they were He shows
that ample food was in the transports for
Santiago, but it was not landed. He pre-
sents copies of his kilograms informing
medical officers that he would forward them
money upon requistion at the rate of 60
cents day for every sick man in their
charge. He shows by orders issued that he
caused inquiries to be made why money was
not called for by the chief surgeon at Mon
tauk to purchase deHcacies. and was in
formed that it was not wanted. OF the vol

No INCONSISTENCY.

A free-trade paper makes haste to de-
clare that the "open-door" policy which the
administration has announced is at war
with the protective policy of which the
| President is a leading exponent. This dec
laration is made upon the assumption that
whatever is good for one people and part of
the Y orld will be good for every other 1t is
the same as declaring that because over
coats are necessary in Indiana this season
of the year they are necessary for the in
habitants of the Philippines. For many
years while Great Britain was a century
ahead of all competitors in manufacturing
by reason of it's protected machinery and
ready capital, the open door was the best
policy to pursue to secure the worlds trade.
Now that other nations have as good ma
chinery and as cheap capital as has Great
Britain many English people doubt if it is
the best policy now With the open door
the United States would have been supply
ing Great Britain and other nations with
raw materials. AS long as we had a half
open door we could not compete. 1t was
only after we had closed the door so far as
to encourage home industry that we became
a great manufacturing nation 1t is for our
advantage to keep the door just as it is.
With the Philippines it is different. Loca-
ton, character and paucity of population
and limited consumption render a protec-
tive policy to build up varied industries I'M
necessary and unwise. The islands are rich
in many natural products for which the
world is a market. Heretofore production
for export and the market for imports have
been cramped because Spain has discrimi-
mated in her own favor. The customs duties
have been exorbitant because Spain has at
tempted to derive a revenue therefrom for
herself, and at the same time to restrict the
trade to Spanish merchants and ships. What
the United States desires, or should desire
if it comes into possession of the Philip
pines, is to increase their trade with the
world. There can be no better method to
raise a people to better conditions than to
extend to them the advantages of COM
merce, which will stimulate production,
and, selling more, they will purchase more
of the articles the use of which is one of the
great civilizers, if not the greatest The

will desire above all things that the islands
shall become self-sustaining TO that end
it will require an arrangement of tariff
duties which will bring the most revenue for
the support of government.
The United States is not in duty bound
to make the same tariff for the Philippines
that it makes for this country. Our rela-
ton to these islands will be rather that of
protector than that of equality between
the States. We shall hold the people of
these islands as Great Britain holds India
and other distant countries. Such a colonial
policy is the only one which can be success
full. Governed as a distant country, the
open door is no departure from our policy

committee of Cubans, embracing Gen.
Garcia, General Gomez and others of equal
prominence, will arrive in Washington to-
day for the purpose of comforting with the
President relative to loan of $1O,OOO,OOO for
three or five years for the purpose of pay
ing off the Cuban army. 1t is claimed that
this arrangement would be much better
than any other form of relief that could be
extended to the Cubans, and would con-
tribute greatly to the prosperity of the
island. The Cuban leaders propose to Sc
cure the loan by a pledge of Cdban GUS
toms. The security would be good and the
plan may have meritorious features, but it
is not likely the President will take any
action in the matter. Indeed, he could not

1t appears from table which the Gov
ernor of Missouri has used in a letter that
the expenditures of the States for the men
they sent to the army has differed with the
States. In sending $3.50 men to the field
Indiana expended S175.OOO or S25.54 per
capit; Michigan expended 100000 on 1000
men. or more than 81 to a man; for $500
men Iowa expended $125.OOO. or $24 per
capita; Colorado expended 81 .466 to get / ,594
men into the service; Kansas expended 50. rs
per man. The Governor of Missouri is
boastlng because that State advanced but
5000 TO have 500 men forwarded, and seems
proud to compare his expenditure of "a cents
a man with the State which expended S25
per capita. Missouri ought not to be proud
of Governor who sent her sons to war
with no preparation. Fortunately. the fed
eral government repays the expenditure of
the States.

now exist, but, unless there shall be some
proposition in that line, it is unwise to as
sumo that because it is not assertive there
is not a large number of men who would

have grave doubts regarding the popular
theory of expansion. Any person who de-

While the indications are strong that the
Spanish peace commissioners will accept our
ultimatum now under consideration, there
is a possibility that they may not. In that
case the negotiation would end with the
Philippine question still Open The protocol
1t must be remembered, is an executed in

Spain has bound herself to svacuate Cuba

do So If the negotiations were broken off
the Philippines would continue under fhe

their legal status and possession would be
