MR., PERKINS AND THE CHRONICLE

The Chronicle of Monday last instructed the
Legislature to instruct Senator Perkins not only
to vote for the treaty of Paris without amend
ment, but to swallow his own convictions publicly
expressed and shared by the ablest statesmen in the
country and vote also for the annexation of the
Philippines as territory of the United States, and
for the admission OF the Filipinos to full citizenship
which the Chronicle has frequently declared is the
legal result OF territorial acquisition in Asia under our
form of government.
The ground for the demand for this new instruc-
ton is the assumption that Senator Perkins has
ceded that State sends to Congress as agents.
and not as principals" The expression is Inaccurate
because ordinary agent is usually invested by his
principal with discretion. This, however not
the Chronicles Interpretation of the views of Senator
Perkins in reference to instructions. The kind Of
agency it means is the mere authority, automatically
exercised, and national we'll State questions,
record legislative DEGREES whenever they are pro-
mulgated. Senator Perkins has a brain OF his own.
He is we'll read in the history of his country He has
had wide Legislative and executive experience. He
has associated at Washington with the greatest Amer
can statesmen. How will he like the Chronicles ac-
ceptance of his letter to the Legislature COM
pete surrender of his own individuality and of his
relations, all national issues, to the entire popula
ton of the Union?
We cannot and do not believe that the humility and
self-abnegaton of Senator Perkins extreme as
this extraordinary demand of the Chronicle would
seem to indicate, and we think that the views ex-
pressed by The Call on the day this demand was
made accurate exposition of the true situation
That Howard E. Wright and his boon companions
in the Legislature should have the power in con-
junction with better in the same body, to die
tate to Senator Perkins how he shall vote ques-
ton involving the terms of the Federal constitution
practice and precedents in acquiring terri
tory this continent and the rights and interests of
severty-hve millions of people, is too absurd for
serious consideration. Senator Perkins is a OF
intelligence, of knowledge and of character, and his
own manhood would not permit him to look his
fellow Senators in the face and acknowledge that
national affairs he was governed by teephonic or
telegraphic communication with Sacramento.
Whether the treaty of Paris il is not ratified
without amendment, we look for such contest the
world has rarely before of the ancestry and
position of Senator Perkins break their constitutional
obligations and, against their intelects udg-
and patriotism, vote to convert this nation into
an America -Asatic republic, or into coonizng
empire modelled after the type of Great Britain.
