cess appointment some one else will be
appointed in his place when the Senate
again meets.
No Military Combinations.
The military nominations were dis
posed of without much discussion by sim
ply permitting them to remain upon the
executive calendar unacted upon There
are upward of a thousand of these nomi-
nations, consisting principally OF promo
tions On account CT valor etc. in battle
and all the promotions are breyet ap-
pcntments, under the recommends tions of
board appointed by the Secretary of
War. The Senate was impatient over the
subject, and would not even listen to the
reading of the names when General How
ley sought to call them up. The fact that
the names of General Shafter and Theo-
dcre Roosevelt appeared at the head of the
list made no difference.
When General Hawley sought to call the
cases up Mr. Pettus took the floor and
made brief speech. full of sarcasm and
satire, but which effectually punctured the
hopes of these army officers for the pro-
motions that had been made.
Mr.. Pettus said that looking ever the
list he found that upward of nine hundred
( of these promotions had been due to gal
] lantry in the battle of Santiago. He ex-
4 pressed his great surprise at the unusually
/ large NUMBER oil onIcerS VINO had ulstln-
| guished themselves in this battle and he
/ was still more surprised when he took
| into consideration the total number of
| troops engaged in that battle 1t seemed
/ to Mr.. Pettus that almost every officer in
| that battle had been advanced on account
! of bravery and it was inconceivable that
( every officer in the engagement had dis
| played such heroism as to entitle him to
I this reward, and especially in view of the
. fprt hat pf hai M in tba
/ thick Of it at all.
To grant this wholesale reward would
| be to cheaper the whole business. The re-
| ward to those who were really deserving
of such would be of such trivial character
! that it would not be worth the having. IL
there were officers who were entitled to
! it-and Mr.. Pettus had no doubt there
were-those officers would lose nothing by
| waiting until the next session OF the
| Senate.
The Senate evidently agreed with the
venerable statesman from Alabama for
! his suggestion was accepted without the
| formality of vote and the whole bunch
! were laid aside without action.

PRFMoTERs AND MORALITY.

The following remarks cannot, OF
ourse,appy to any Honolulu under.
taking, since they were made by the
the Lord Chief Justice OF England,
but they may be none the less inter-
esting and valuable to company
promoters and stockholders all over
the world. His Lordship was ad-
dressing the Lord Mayor on COM
pany promotion and said, in part:
/ wish only to say word or two
upon that subject. | mean the need.
as conceive, the urgent need, for
further protective legislation in rela-
ton to the promotion and the carry
ing on of public companies. The
Legislature has recognized the need
for measures aimed in this direction,
in several sessions of Parliament,
Committees of the House of Lords
have been endeavoring to solve in
this relation the problem OF how to
prevent, or, at least, to narrow the
area OF fraud, while, at the same
time, not interfering with the useful
efficiency and operation OF the Acts
dealing with limited liability COM
panies, The aim of any such legis-
lation is clear and is simple. 1t is
to enforce one srule of common
honesty in the promotion of COM
panies. When appeals are made to
the public to subscribe to the capital
of undertakings it ought to be obli-
gstory to disclose every fact known
to the promoters, and unknown to
the public, which might affect the
mind OF reasonable person in de-
termining whether he will or will
not subscribe to the purposes of the
undertaking. Everything ought to
be above board; no concealment; no
secret profits-the parties, public,
and promoters alike ought to deal
with equal information as regards
the carrying on OF such companies.
The directors ought to be men of
independence, not the creatures OF
promoters, paid by promoters, quail
fed by promoters, but men bringing
reasonable skill and knowledge to
the matters they undertake, and,
even more important, independence
Of mind and perfect honesty to their
task. Ny Lord Mayor, in saying
this / am not uttering any counsels
of perfection, l am saying what the
commonest dictates OF honesty
commen honesty-suggest.

The Issues of 1900.

II was after the Democrats in Congress
had with some exceptions, put themselves
on record as opposed to the retention of the
Philippines; il was after Mr.. Bryan had
made some speeches in the State in favor
of the independence of the half savage Fill
pinos that the Democratic party in Michi-
gan held a State convention. They adopted
a very stiff expansion resolution, COM
mending the establishment of American
government in the islands.
There is no reason to doubt that this ex-
presses the sentiment of the great body OF
Democrats throughout the country and
that the anti-eXpansion Democrats in Con-
gress are virtually alone and unsupported.
Their policy could be understood and ii
might even appear TO be yirtuous if it were
clear that they were moved by spirit OF
loyalty to the traditions of the party. But
il has been shown that they trample on the
best principles of Jeffersonian Democracy
and without any hope of profit. To go down
10 defeat with flags flying is an inspiriting
determination and glorious doom. if the
flags are the tattered emblems of a noble
cause; but it is simply ludicrous folly to
invite disaster on platform that repudi-
ates the time honored principles of the par
~ and affronts the patriotic impulses of
the whole country. If they have been un-
able TO convince even their own party in
Michigan of the .criminality of extending
the benents of our institutions to the Phil
ippines, how can they hope to induce a
winning number of the people of all the
States to discard opinions which they hold
with enthusiasm?
OF all possible issues. the Republican
managers would prefer that of expansion
by which is meant the retention of the
Philippines. For one thing, they could be
sure of the ardent support of an over
whelming majority of the people For an
other, il would save them from the need
of defending themselves against the charge
of promoting trusts, the recent extraordi-
nary development OF which is the gravest
menace TO our liberties and the integrity
The evening times., 1899-03-13

of republicanism that we have ever en-
countered.
II is instructive to recall that among the
first of public men to urge on the American
psCple the recognition of their duty TO civil
ization and abandonment of selfish policy
OF provincialism was Mr.. Olney, who was
the strongest man in the Cleveland Cab
met. 1t was before the war with Spain,
and therefore before fate placed in our
that he expressed his sense of shame that
we should not only be satisfied with. but
should boast of, our isolation. No observ-
ing person can doubt that the life of the
Englishman has been raised to higher
plane and that he has a nobler ideal, from
the knowledge that in the progress of the
world toward enlightenment his country
has been an active and powerful agent.
Kipling struck the most resonant string of
the American heart when be called on us
to take up the white mans burden. Our
one defect has been the lack of high
ideal. and in assuming the responsibilities
and seizing the advantages that belong to
the largest body of English speaking peo-
pie, we shall find the absent virtue.
II would be strange indeed if the party
that was so long the peoples party, inner
iting the expansion ideas Of jefferson and
his Democratic co-workers, should alone
stand for selfish isolation while the de-
scendants of the ancient Federalists are the
advocates of the higher duty. The action
OF the Michigan Democrats refutes the as
