THERE is a good deal of perfunctorv
work IN an Executives Message.

the mass of matter that has to be writ
ten about, there are often good sug-

the ballot stamp. He wants the nen

booth. He says they are the cause of

Worse than that they are the innocent
cause OF great deal of rascality bv

were thrown ont by inspectors for the
purpose of defeating opposing eapdi.

The deadlock in the Legislature
caused by the inability of the House
TO choose a speaker because the two
wings of the Republican party could
not agree, was broken on Friday. On
the LIST ballot of Friday, 91s!, the Dem
ocrats went to what is called the Reg
niars, so called because they bolted
from the State Convention the 18th of
May, '96, with about one-third of the
convention and going to another room

Republican Convention, said delegates
claiming to be Regular and were TINS

The inability of the two wings of the
party to get together, which could have
been done on the Dupont principle of
the majority always giving way to the
minority, very naturally prompted the
Democrats to unite with the Dupont or
Administrative faction and elect

INF daily papers give conflicting g
accounts of the conditions of things in
the Philippine Islands. That the
Fhlllplnos are dull and slow in com
pretending our ways, or even in having
faith In our promises after so many
years of oppression by Spain, was to
be expected. President Mckinley has
issued a proclamation to them that is
particularly distinguished for its broad
Americanism. 1t is issued in the form
OF letter to General Otis, and has at
once the force of logic and the weight
OF final command. The brief recapi-
tulation of facts of record with which
1t is prefaced, and the conclusions de-
rived therefrom, should serve to per-
suade all who can understand plain
language of the properiety of such con-
troll as the United States Government
proposes to exert over the archipelago,
and the source from which the docu-
ment proceeds should be ample as
surance of the validity of its instruc
tions and the good faith of its prom
ises.
To help, not to harm, is the pro-
gramme. General Otis is to make il
known to the inhabitants that he and
his comrades come not as invaders nor
as conquerOrs in the usual sense of
those terms, but as friends, to rid the
people OF misgOvernment to protect
hem IN the enjoyment of their rights
Ind to promote their general welfare.
such assurance is especially called for
n the Philippines, because the people
II those islands have been accustomed
o think of white men as nothing but
onquerors and OpRressors. Such has
'een their experience with the Spanish
nd they have had hitherto no knowl-
dge OF any other treatment. 1t will
e a revelation to them that there are
owerful, civilized white nations that
re not tyrannical, but that can and
Ill treat a weaker people with Justice
nd kindness.
More than that. The President
iakes it plain that the existing Gus
'ms and laws of the Filipinos are to be
alntalned as far as is compatible with ,
vilized sovereignty, and that the ,
rgest possible degree of self-govern
ent is to be accorded to them in re-
'ect to the personality of the Office 8
1lders. The administrative work of
e islands is to be done by natives. as !
r as practicable.
