Oriental REORGANIZATION.

There is one peculiar view of the
Philippine question and the presi-
dents policy which should be deeply
considered. Aside from the question
of federal colonial system of gov
eminent. which is nothing but an
abrogation of the contract between
the sovereign states and the federal
government by the latter-a secession
from the union, so to speak-there is
the question of oriental non-assimila-
ton. All of the arguments concern
ing the impossibility of so changing
the laws of nature as to make the
Caucasian affiliate with the oriental
have been exhausted in the arguments
against the Chinese.
In this one particular the Philip
pine question becomes exceedingly
grave, and it is MINISTERIAL. in the
face of it. what the policy of the pres
ident really is, or whether congress
will or will not approve that policy.
We know as matter of absolute
truth that the racial status of the
Filipino, like that of the Chinese, is
an absolute impasse to their ever be-
coming American citizens. Both
President Mckinley and his repu Bill
can congress must accept one horn
or the other of the dilemma: Either
the Filipinos must eventually be adj
mitted to full citizenship and the
islands made an integral part of the
United States in the sense of '.E plur-
ibus unum, with a present status of
territorial government, or they must
remain colonies of the federal govern
ment, independent of the sovereign
