The sd afniction Of Congressman
Boutelle appeals to the sympathy Of the
general public who know him only by
reputation. as well a. to the long list
OF personal friends gained during many
years Of public servioe. II y the old
story. the story 80 common in America:
overwork and lack OF proper attention
to physical needs that will take their
revenge soon or late. Mr.. Boutelle
commands respect and admiration not
only from the length but from the quail
ity Of his public NE and work, and
from political friend ana foe there is
expression Of sincere hope that his
recovery may be speedy and complete.

No man Of either party has ventured.
even In the heat Of political contro-
versy, to assail the integrity Of Prof.
Schurman, president Of Cornell univer-
sity and chairman of the Philippine
.commission. His high character, his
aversion to the war and doubts Of the
wisdom Of expansion when his appoint
ment was made, and the unexampled
opportunities offered to him for study
ing the situation at short range give
weight to his words and standing to
his conclusions.
What Prof. Schurman thinks Of the
course pursued by the sUnited States in
those islands, the country knows al
ready, through the report Of the COM
mission itself. What he thinks OF the
people. the archipelago and the future
duty that awaits us there is stated In
his recent article in the Independent.
His views will be read with the great
est interest, and will go far toward
modifying or creating public opinion.
The very Introduction Of his article
skaters the nonsensical pretensions of
Democratic leaders who gable about
RECOGNITION and talk of the Filipinos
as people or nation" Prof.
Schurman reminds his readers that
there are from forty to fifty different
tribes in the Philippines, ana that seven
or eight of them have 100000 members
apiece. One tribe in Luzon numbering
100000 speaks a language totally Diff
ferent from all the others: whites an
other of 100000 people us as distinct
from all the rest as they are from Span
iards" Can any sane man, in the face
OF such facts, consider talk about the
Filipino nation" or propositions that
the people there organize government
forthwith for the archipelago as any
thing other than meaningless words
spoken with intent to deceive?
Geography, history and ethnology de-
clare unequivocally the necessity Of pro-
viding one strong and stable authority
for the people of these islands. What
should we do and what avoid? Edu-
nate that there is nucleus of educat-
ed natives there now. The people are

coming as closely as possible in contact
with the people, is most desirable. The
natives are virtually children. They
have no conception of political ''insti-
tutions'' or of abstract theories of gov
eminent. They need able, sympathetic,
firm and just men, who win stand in a
close relation to them until they have
developed a capacity for self-govern-
ment.
1t is for this reason that Prof. Schur-
man emphasizes the Importance of an
honest civil service. No one, we think.
need concern himself about the new
governor general. The appointment of
Gen. Wood. against all opposition, to

A Master Stroke.

T II the disclosures by the Lokal
Anzeiger Of Berlin are true. and Great
Britain. Germany and Portugal have
entered into secret treaty by which
the last named country Is Invested Of
her colonies. 1t has been a master stroke
in diplomatic negotiation and signifies
as much for the future prestige of the
fret two powers as 1t does for the per-
manent decay Of the kingdom Of Por-
tugal.
In the fifteenth century the Portu-
guese were the most enlightened and
enterprising people Of Europe. From the
time Of vasco da Cana they persevered
in the work OF exploration. rounded the
Cape Of Good Hope and extended their
territory and influence until they be-
came the dominant power on the coast
OF Africa and masters. of the Indian
ocean and the south coast Of Asia. The
last Of these great possessions are gone.
Stronger nations have encroached upon

versies over boundary lines in East

to endeavor to induce the grain shov

Bishop Quigley requested time for con-
sideration and consultation with the
priests in whose parishes the trouble
is centered. Inc fact that Mr.. Goulder
intends TO remain over in Buffalo until

that Bishop Qugley will make known
his answer. some time tomorrow.
Nearly all of the grain shovcllers are
Irishmen and attend the Catholic

would carry with it great weight
