Two Different Cases.

oh It's lace there Is something persuasive
n the proposition that the United States
accord 10 the Philippine Islands the same
treatment that has been promised C,uha
independent government at as early a day
as the people show themselves capable of
maintaining such government The peoDIe
II i insisted, are eager for the control of
lhelr own affairs, are organized for the
"Ork, and have men Of demonstrated abil-
lty ut their head. But, upon examination
the case Of Cuba proves to be very different
from that Of the Philippines
in the first place this government is
formally committed 10 Cuban independence.
Il was agreed by the American people he
fora blow was struck that the Cubans
were worthy of and should have a govern
ment of their own. II was plain enough
mat they could not, unassisted, free them
selves but as they had held out so long
against Spain and at such terrible cost to
themselves 1t was decided that they were
worthy OF realizing their aspirations. They
had refused all the brides that Spain had
offered, and had continued to fight her with
all the means at their command.
The sole question with regard to Cuba
therefore relates to the time when the
American promise to the Cubans may with
safety and wisdom be redeemed A prema-
ture redemption would work injury. but in
jury only to Cuba None of the great for
eign powers would be affected Cuba being
entirely out OF their range. The United
States would simply have to step in and

The Board of Trade at its meeting on Fri
day night voiced the unanimous sentiment
Of this community in the matter of local
appointments in the following resolutions:
whereas the official affairs of munich
raIitv are necessarily conducted by resi-
dents thereof acquainted with local puDtlc
sentiment which finds voice in the praise
or blame of their neighbors, while the I'M
portation of nOn-residentS to NIL such Of
TiceS exposes municipality to the tender
mercieS of officials often ignorant OF local
affairs and unrestrained by respect for
wholesome local sentiment; and whereas
the nation has wisely recognized the ap-
plcabiity of the above stated principles TO
local appointments in the District OF CO.
lumbia. and has, through Congress, en-
acted that three years residence Is es-
Sentidl to eligibility to appointment as
civilian District Commissioner. and has in
the platform of both the great political
parties extended this condition of eligibility
to the other local federal offices by de-
Ciaring. either specifically concerning the
District or generally concerning the District
under the classification of territories, that
all the federal officers appointed for it
should b. selected from bona fde residents
thereof: therefore. the Washington Board
Of Trade. mindful of the welfare of this
municipality. heartily indorses this action
of the political parties and of Congress.
and expresses the firm conviction that these
assurances against the use of the local
offices rewards to nOn-reSidents for ma
tional and partisan political services rem
ter or in spirit
The District recordership of deeds has
been degraded into a political sop to be
thrown political reward to some striker

istrations which would not appoint or hav-
ing appointed. would not protect the negro
federal office holder in the southern state
of his residence. have imported such ne
grues and saddIed them upon the property
owners and taxpayers of the District of
Columbia
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Enei-
neers propose similar treatment for the
benefit OF their order of the postmas tership
of Washington. They ask that it be turned
over 10 them as a reward for political ser
vices in the past. and an encouragement to
political services in the future. with the
threat implied that if the office is not forth
c, ming. that political support will hence
forth be lacking. They subject the Presi-
dent of the United States to ''hold-up.'
Compliance with their impudent demand
would III ,an a prostitution of the postmas-
tership. violation of the pledge upon
which the President was elected, and a
slur upon the capacity and intelligence of
the people Of the District of Columbia.

rum tne Los Angeles Times.
There Is no doubt that large majority
of the people of California are in favor OF
our governments retaining, or at least con-
trolling, the territory wrested from Spain
by force of arms. This means that they
are in favor of the ratification of the peace
treaty, for the treaty expressly provides
for the cession of the Philippines, Porto
RICO and some other territory. If it be
proper to call the control of the territory
imperialism" then the people of Califor-
mia are emphatically in favor of an imperi-
alistlc policy. This fact was clearly shown
in the recent election, when California re.
turned the largest republican majority In
its history.
No portion of the country will be ben.
Gifted SO directly or so extensively as the
people of the Pacific coast by reason of oul
acquisition of the Philippine Islands. 1t is
natural that they should favor this policy
as they do most enthusiastically. The leg
sature should, therefore, lose no time in
lnstructing our senators to vote first, last
and all the time for the ratification of the
treaty of Paris.

1t was odd enough in 1896 to hear Jeffer-
son and jackson quoted in support of free
silver and free trade, but it is very much
odder to hear them quoted now in support
of anti-eXpansion and ali that that policy
implies. They were men of very definite
views and performances, and it is not an
easy matter to twist the record to suit
particular emergencies.
Mr.. Jefferson was nothing if not an ex-
pansionist. None of the fathers saw more
clearly, if so clearly, the necessity of
growth for the young country The begin
ming was good, but he refused to consider
the work finished as originally outlined.
1t was only beginning, and he proceeded
at the first opportunity to enlarge the
sphere of the governments usefulness. His
purchase of the Louisiana territory was
far-seeing and a truly great performance.
One has only to consult the map to appre-
ciate its almost inestimable value. Indeed,
if he had not prepared his own epitaph, but
left it to the country, the inscription on
his monument, it has been declared, would
recite that splendid service
But as we know, he encountered fierce
opposition. The adding of territory larger
than the Union itself was regarded by
many as folly and by some as a crime
How it ever could be assimilated and be
made a workable part of the government
was beyond the power of some of the most
eminent men of that day to understand
The difficulty today is to try to understand
how We could have made progress without
the Louisiana purchase.
Associated with the question of expansion
is natural pride in the achievements of
the army and the navy. The flag is up as
the result of American valor, and RESPONSE
bility has been fixed by that fact Under
what circumstances shall it be lowered?
Under the confession that the United States
is unequal TO the task of giving good gov
eminent to distant colony? Can anybody
imagine General Jackson unstirred by the
records of Dewey and Sampson and Schley
and of Miles and Merritt and Shafter? Or
advocating a scuttling out on the score of
a doubt to the ability or authority of the
government to deal with the new problem?
What chapter in General Jacksons life
suggests such a thing?
Although so unlike in many particulars
the one man of thorough intellectual
training and wide research in matters of
government, and the other of limited edu-
cation and acquirements-both Mr. Jeffer-
son and General Jackson were eminently
practical men. They met the emergencies
of their day with a courage born of a be-
lief in progress and the mission of their
country. The one stood for national ex-
pansion and the other most distinctly for
assertion of the national authority, and if
alive today both would be found support
ing the foreign policy of William Mckinley

A Prophecy for France,
From the Chicago Tribune.

''It is absolutely impossible for republic
long to endure If 1t becomes either corrupt
or cowardly," said Governor Roosevelt in
his Inauguration address. The utterance
sounds like prophecy for France, whose
government in the last two years has ex-
hibited an Incredible combination of cor
ruption and cowardice in dealing with the
Dreyfus question. No wonder the Bona

sumes monthly $4,000 pounds Of
mutton and 100000 pounds of beef
