respect, or at least to tolerate, their
prejudices and customs, to guarantee
them the just fruits CT their labor and
to punish with severity officials who
abuse their trust among them, are the
keynotes of the successful policy. 1t
is the policy we must initiate and stead
lily pursue, not because it is British,
but because it is right. A policy OF
public morality, supported by sense and
judgment, is not the exclusive property
of any nation.
Among the errors to which we shall
be liable. but which we must avoid
most carefully, is interference with or
disregard Of the manners and customs,
habits or prejudices Of the natives. The
English, in all their distant possessions.
and in particular in India, where their
difficulties have sprung chiefly from err
rors on this point, have learned les
son which ought to be of greatest use
to ourselves. It is the lesson specially
dWelt upon. by Lord Roberts in his
book, s'Forty One Years in India" Every
page of the history Of England's trou-
bles there-troubles which she has hap
PLY learned to avoids full of in
struction on this subject. Herein lies
the main secret of her success in In
dia in recent times. The keynote of
Burke's Impeachment of the Govern
ment of India under Warren Hastings
was protest against violation of the
customs and prejudices of the people.
even more than "a ainst the expedients
and schemes to plumber them. Going
among people new to us and wholly
different from ourselves, we must not
try to set up Government on abstract
grounds. There will be sad work if
we attempt it.
THE VOTING MACHINE.
San Diego Union: The voting ma
chine is one of the notable inventions
of the century, and if it has reached
the stage of perfection that enables it
to do it's work swiftly and accurately
as appears to be the case with the ap-
pliances that have been tried in the
East-the quicker California adopts it
the better.
THE TREATY.
San Jose Mercury: 1t is hardly prob
able that Republican Senators will COM
bine with obstructionists like White,
Jones and Butler to defeat the ratifica-
ton of the treaty ceding the Philip
pine Islands to the United States. A
failure to ratify the terms imposed on
Spain by the Administration would
place the country in a peculiar position
before the world. 1t is known that
Hale and Hoar oppose the acquisition
of the islands, but they may yet be
amenable to reason.
