MORE THOUGHTS.

With due Difference to adverse opin-
ion, the principal of decentralization
is essentially Republican. In point of
fact it is the essence of Republican
ism. Decentralization is the protest
and practice of people against one
man power, which is monarchy, and
monarchy is the antipodes of Repub-
licanism.
If one looks at the territorial law
as it appears in the United States
Statutes, one finds that it assumes an
organization by counties and each
county elects its county officers. Also
all justices of the peace must be and
all militia officers may be elected.
In State, the Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Secretary of State, Treasur-
er, Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, the Judges of the Supreme Court
are elective officers. In many States,
though not in all, the Regents of the
State Universities are elective and the
same may be said of the Controller or
Auditor.
1t can, therefore, be very clearly
shown that the essence of American
Government is the elective theory.
Where power is handed on, as in the
case of the Federal Secretary of State,
Secretary of the Treasury, Attorney
General, and so forth, the appointing
power has been elected and holds its
power from the people, by the will of
the people. But this is going perhaps
too deeply into the very essence of
government.
When discussing the future govern
ment of the Territory of Hawaii there
is no question whatever of State Sow
ereignty. What one has to consider is
the mere management of the internal
affairs. With us it is a question of
getting out of swaddling clothes, and
putting on the "toga virilis," the garb
of the citizen and the man. 1t is edu-
cation in. local self government that
is needed.
The main idea before us is whether
or not we are to have a direct in
fuence upon our own local affairs.
Each particular part of the Islands
ought to have such direct influence.
One of the grievances of hilo is that
it has not had such influence in the

The campaign in the Philippines is
going on merrily enough. The Ameri-
can cavalry are keeping Aguinaldo on
the dead run, the infantry occupy the
towns as they are evacuated by the
insurgents, many of whom are devel-
oping into amigos" and the navy is
waiting patiently on the coast, watch
ing it as a cat does a mouse, to pounce
upon the fleeing Aguinaldo should he
try to escape. The game which Agui-
naldo is playing is very nearly up and
he must begin to realize that it is one
thing to have the anti-eXpansionist
send pamphlets which are mostly used
for pipe lights, and quite another
thing to meet the eXpansionist with a
rifle and persuasive bayOnet. There
is going to be peace in the Philippines
and the bulk of the people are most
eager for it. The United States is the
country that can give and keep peace
though at the cost of considerable ma
tional sacrifice.

The Beers have made strong at
tack on Ladysmith and have been re-
pulsed with heavy loss. As far as
Ladysmith is concerned there is now
no need of any anxiety. The town is
in a condition to hold out for months.
The crucial point in the war, how
ever, will be the fight between the
relieving column and the force of To-
600 Beers under General Joub art,
which has gone down south to meet
it. 1t looks very much as if the tide
was turning in South Africa.

did not seem anxious regarding the subject.
Mr.. H. Vignaud, secretary of the American

the same time, said the latter's argument
was very much appreciated by the court.
To this Mr.. Harrison replied: I'VE did our
best in what 1 know is a right cause, but
in an arbitral tribunal such as this it Is
all a toss up. 1t does not resemble an ordi-
nary tribunal, to the judges of which 1t Is

Eight Men Wounded.

MANILA, Oct. 3, 8 a. m.-The Fourth In
fantry Regiment, Major Price commanding.
has had a series of encounters with the in
surgents about linus since Saturday. The
natives were led, 1t is supposed, by a for
mer mayor of linus, and made a general at
tack upon the American lines from linus
to Bacoor. A captain and a corporal Of the
American forces were killed and eight men
were wounded. A Filipino colonel is known
to have been killed.
Major Price requested Rear Admiral Wat
son to send two gunboats to his support.
The fighting began on Saturday, when
Captain Brown took the same battalion
that distinguished itself at Perez das
Marinas, and Lieutenant Kabenshu's scouts
against a large force of insurgents on the
Perez das Marinas road, and a general en-
gagement followed. The Americans. lying in
the mud in the rice fields, kept up a fire for
an hour and a half. when endorsements
were sent to them, until seven companies
were engaged. The insurgents retreated.
During the engagement three Americans
were wounded.
The fighting yesterday began with an at
tack by the insurgents on a party repairing
the telegraph lines. one member of which
was wounded. General Alejandrino and the
two other Filipino ENJOYS who accompanied
him, returned to Angeles by special train.
MANILA, Oct. 2, 5:45 p. m.-The Filipino
ENJOYS called on Major General Otis to-day
and discussed matters with no result. Gen.
eral Abejandrino said to a reporter that he
had no Instructions, except to deliver a let
ter. which was rejected. He will return to

BERLIN, Oct. 2.-Dr. Nansen, the Arctic

the three progressive nations would work
for the common good of mankind and sci

due to such joint action"

motion for the International Geographical
Congress- adoption, saying that hereafter
each colonial power pledges itself 10 submit
such new methods or questions relative to
the treatment Of natives as may come up
from time to time to a permanent inter-

on them. This proposition comedies with

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA dispatch from
General Otis was received at the War De-
partment this morning giving an account of
his meeting with the insurgent ENJOYS. Gen.
Otis said the interview with Aguinaldo's
representatives indicated the leaders were

recognition Of the insurgs mt government.
All such overtures were rejected and the
ENJOYS were informed that the only thing
the United States would recognize was a
white flag and the grounding Of arms. He
also Informed the ENJOYS that such capit-
ulation on the part of the insurgents should
come quickly in order to avoid the conse-
quences of active war. as the United States
did not intend TO permit any delay in the
matter. The course of General Otis is ap-
proved at the War Department Secretary

estimated that 1,5o persons persisted in the
earthquakes in Asia Minor around Adm.
The first shock occurred at 4 o'clock on the
morning Of Sept. 20 and lasted forty Sec
onds. The effects were appalling. Whole
villages were completely destroyed. The
earthquake was felt as far as Sire, Nifty
lene and Smyrna.
The latest advices from the stricken area
show that men, women and children were
buried in the ruins of their dwelling places
before they realized their danger. Num-
bers of bodies still lie beneath the debris.
About five hundred persons were killed at
Sarakeni and some five hundred at Denizli.
where three-fourths Of the buildings fell.
There was proportionate loss of life In
many smaller villages.
The disturbance has not yet subsided, al
though it's strength appears to be spent.
The shocks continue almost daily, but with
no great violence. The population is en-
camped in the open.
One consequence of the earthquake is the
subsistence of the level of the Adm district
by two yards. Sulphurous springs burst
out in the valley of Noander, and the coun-
of crevasses. out of which rushed black,
muddy water with sufficient volume to
wash away a flock of 1000 sheep.
The villagers Of the valley of Noander
report that for several days previous to the
catastrophe domestic animals were greatly
disturbed. believing, bleating and barking.

the event of Great Britain becoming en-
