Our Pledge to the Filip mos.

The text of the proclamation issued to
the Filipinos, by the American commits
sion, on the authority OF the govern
ment, Is published this morning. AS
stated some time since. this document
is to be translated into all the dialects
OF the Philippine islanders and brought
to their attention everywhere. In con-
nection with the present tendency Of
the natives to leave the support of
Aguinaldo and to appeal to the Amerl-
cans for protection. this clear explana-
ton to them of the position which the
United States occupies toward them,
and Its intention to give them peace.
civil rights and protection, will doubt
less be very effective.
4 The proclamation goes into details rs
to the reforms that are to be inaugur-
ated and the. names signed thereto are
sufficient guarantee that every pledge
will be sacredly kept. for among them.
in addition to those Of the civil commits
sioners, are those of Admiral Dewey
and General Otis. The policy outlined
embodies civil and religious liberty, es-
tabllshment Of institutions of civiliza-
ton, and the general improvement and
development Of the islands and its peo-
pie, industrially and intellectually. 1t
Is in accord with the promises Of the
administration at the beginning.

in the discussion Of the right of a pre-

Is a parliamentary one which has been

Mormon Roberts Case.

The proposition. said to be regarded
by Senator Edmunds as the only one
that could be effective in the case Of
Roberts, the Utah congressman-elect
with several wives. that the polygamist
be expelled from the house. is undoubt-
eddy the most legitimate course, since
1t Is probable the house would not re-
fuse his certificate, which Is q pgima
facie title to the seat. This seems to be
the new plan adopted by those who are
petitioning TO Congress in the matter.
The case Is one which will call for dis
Greet action, for II a precedent is to be
established it must be on tenable
grounds. The statement that this
course has been adopted after consulta-
ton with Senator Edmunds. and others,
comes from Dr.. Iliff, the president of
the Methodist mission In Utah. Mr..
Edmunds. 1t will be recalled, bore n
prominent part in the preparation Of
the conditions upon which Utah was ad-
mitted into the Union. and is said to be
the author of the provision forbidding
the continuance of polygamous prac-
tees.
