FiIipinos and Self. Government.

Admiral Dewey has been giving the
New York Evening Post some expert
testimony on the situation in the
Philippines and the fitness of the
Filipinos for self-eovernment. 1t is
not testimony directly in accord with
the position the Post has taken
hitherto, but it comes straight from
a man who knows what he is talk
ing about when he talks on that
particular subject; and it will be de-
cidedly interesting to the public at
this time. Here it is:
"The fight in the Philippines should
be easily ended. The people have been
so badly treated for such length OF
time by the Spaniards that they are
distrustful. This is the great diff.
Guilty in dealing with them. Where
we have met them and they have
been in such contact with us so as to
learn that we mean to treat them
we'll; where they have seen that we
mean what we say, there is nc
trouble. They stand by us all the
time. All of them will learn this in
time. They will get from under the
influence of Aguinaldo, or rather
those people who are behind Aguin
aldo, who, as l said before, is mere
tool.
DO | think the Filipinos are fiji
for seltgovernment Well, no; moi
just now. They probably will be il
little time. They are very quee,
people-a very queer mixture. Many
of them are quite civilized and eooc
people, but l do not think they ar,
fit for self-government just yet. But
when l say that, | must add that il
is my candid opinion that they ar,
better people than the Cubans
in every way. | do wish, how
ever, that the whole business wa'
settled, and | think that after LITTLE
the Filipinos will take kindly to us.

The Waterman was taking at the
time an active interest in the matter
of bounty on maple sugar, believ-
ing it would be not only to the
pecuniary advantage of the farmers
Of Vermont but that, the bounty he.
ing paid on only sugar OF a specified
degree of purity, it would have a
tendency materially to improve the
general quality, and hence the value,
of the product. Judge Powers course
was something of a disappointment
to Vermont farmers in general and
was at the time the subject OF some
criticism in the newspapers and on
the part of maple sugar producers.
In his statements in the letter to the
Burlington News he SCENE to have
forgotten what he said or is re-
ported to have said by the Con-
gressional Record of the fifty-fifth
congress, March Is, 1892. The
official report Of Mr.. Powers words
is thus:
In this connection l will say that 81
have myself" in order to do what re-
gard benefit to our own producers,
introduced bill to restore the old duty
and to repeal this bounty" because the
difficulty of obtaining the bounty, the
red tape necessary to be resorted to in
order to get it. compels the producer to
lose the early market on maple sugar; he
must lose more than two cents pound
if he undertakes to secure this bounty.
The words in quotation marks
would seem to indicate that the
Judge was rash in pronouncing "un-
true" the statements as to his ection
in the matter of the bounty. Either
he is mistaken or the Congressional
Record is in error. 81 have myself
introduced bill y y to repeal this
bounty" This seems to be conclu-
sive OF the whole matter, unless the
official record of proceedings in con-
gress can be impeached. AS this was
matter of state interest, reference
thereto may possibly be made with,
out indictment for interfering in the
first district ght.-[Montpelier

Politics and Maple Sugar,

Judge Powers had been charged
with recreancy to the interests of his
farmer constituents in certain ways
in respect to the maple sugar indus
try. Judge Powers considered the
matter of sufficient importance to
write the Burlington News a letter
upon the subject Of his course in con-
gress on the maple sugar legislation
in the early part of this decade. In
the course of his letter the Judge
writes:
The Rutland News is the author of the
suggestion that misrepresented my con-
stituents on this question. In its first
reference to the matter it intimated that
| opposed the passage of bill giving the
bounty. Later it said l worked, voted
and perhaps spoke in favor OF its repeal
Both statements are untrue"
