Philippine commission is
rapidly being demonstrated by their
work as details of it are reported.
The establishment of a native civil
service, the beginning of public road
building and railway extension and
the establishment of effective control
over the saloon business In Manila are
among the points in evidence and the
spirit of intelligent determination
which they represent Is bound to make
its impression upon the Filipinos in
course of time.

completely pacified they are far and
away the best possessions in the Orient

ment Their climate is better than
the climate OF any tropical country
know, and the capacity for agricul-
tural, mineral and commercial devel

Even with the unsettled condition of
the country, the tonnage of the ves
sells coming into the harbor of Manila,
exclusive OF the government trans
ports, is double what it ever was in
Spanish times, and the same thing is
true OF the inter-island tonnage. With
the construction of roads and railroads
through these islands, the opportuni-
ties for development cannot be eXag-
gerated. These people are people
who take to the luXuries of life, en-
joy good clothes and comforts and
markets among them for cotton goods,
for canned goods. for -four, for petro-

in wonderfully short time. One of the
things that is needed here is the in

into business the same methods that
prevail at home, would do wonders
for the business standards of these is

These things will come. Common
wealth building is slow work. In it
years count as days. The one thing
which Americans have to guard
against in connection with their ex-
pectations of Philippine development
Is impatience.

DlSDOSing of Cuba,

7 is THE news that as a rule
doesn't get into print that is in
Il variably the most interesting, the
real inside of things, which, from
motives of policy or through lack of
information or other cause, is withheld
from the mass of newspaper readers.
Announcement is made in Golfers
Weekly of a department which, so far
as affairs at Washington are concerned,
is to be filled with this kind of news,
collected and colated by a recognized
expert, Mr.. Walter Wellman. The issue
for Dec. ] contains Il specimen install
ment, and a good bit of it certainly
Is news.
For example, apropos of Secretary
at the time to he "for the benefit of his
health" Mr.. Wellman tells us: HE

programme was coming along, for
the administration has Cuban

that it Is doing what it wants to do;
and the scheme is working very Well
What the administration wants and
intends to have is this.

sovereign over it's domestic affairs,

Canada is autonomous, but depend-

THE queer thing about this Cuban
programme Is that Secretary Root and
mis- skillful agent, Governor Wood, have
for long time been shaping and
moulding to this end, driving slowly
and cautiously, but unerringiy. to their
mark; and even at this late day neither

SCRANTON. NOVEMBER 80. 1900.

The necessity for amending the eS-
listing bankruptcy law so as to place
creditors more nearly on footing OF
equality with debtors is revealed by a
glance at the statistics of the laws
operation in the fiscal year just ended.
There We're, in all. 1850 cases of vol
untary bankruptcy, with liabilities of
s264979,152 and assets of s33,09S,77l. In
other words the creditors whose claims
were adjusted under the provisions OF
this law realized altogether less than
IA cents on the dollar. the other 50
cents standing for the greater part as
II monument to legalized fraud. This
condition of affairs Is too one-sided to
be lasting.

According to Mr.. Wellman. sccretar"
Root has reported to the President,
as Governor Wood had done before
him. that the constitutional convention
is likely to adopt this policy az its
own. and also agree to the American
requirements that limitations shall be
placed upon the debt-inclirring power

a time at least the United States shall
by stipulation retain possession of the
principal port Notifications of the
island. In this way, and this way only,
the leading men of Cuba ere coming

thing which the United States inter-
vened to give them. to wit, stable
and enduring government.
In case. however, the convention be-

The present status VIII have to con-
tinue, and this convention or another
convention will have to try again.
President Mckinley will not take his
hand off Cuba till he is assured peace
and order and stability are to follow.
A constitution unacceptable to him can
neither become operative in Cuba nor
get before the American congress for
ratification. The president is master
of the situation. and the Cubans, under
the gentle tutelage of Governor Wood,
are beginning to see It,"
We hope that Mr.. Wellman's pro-
phecy shall turn out To be accurate.

terminable difficulty and embarrass-
ment.

Il country is not paying It's
fair proportion of the tax
burdens has given birth to numerous
propositions toward equalizing mat
ters and the latest of these arises
for attention in Missouri
At the last election in that state an
amendment to the constitution was
voted upon and adopted by an over
whelming majority, which provides in
substance that when the assessment
is made for taxation the owner of
real estate shall be assessed only on
his equity in the property, while the
amount represented by the mortgage
shall be assessed against the mort
cagee and shall be Il lien upon his
mortgage. The amendment provides
that the taxes so levied shall he
a lien upon the property and may be
paid by either party 20 such security.
If paid by the owner of the security,
the tax so levied upon tie property
affected thereby shall become part of
the debt so secured. If the owner of
the property shall pay the tax so
levied on such security, it shall con-
stitute a payment thereon and to the
extent of such payment a full dis
charge thereof"
This amendment received very little
attention at the hands of the voters:
it was rushed through and carried with
a hurrah by the debtor class. The
consequences are as might have been
expected. Formerly loans on first class
security We're made in Missouri, plenti-
fully at Az per cent. interest and in
cases at as low as per cent. To-day
there isn't borrower in the state who
can get n loan in regular business
channels at less than s per cent, and
while this probably represents a tenn
porary condition which will wear off,
no man of intelligence can foresee any
other permanent result than that to
the rate of interest prevalent in other
states. say s per cent, the Missouri
borrower. in order to command loans
at all. will hereafter have to agree
to add a per centage equal to the
average taxes or more, bringing the
final total rate of interest up to from
61a to Z per cent.
With such rise in interest rates
Will come naturally a depression I'm
farm values. Thus the owner of nm
incumbered real estate. who gets not
even any apparent benefit, will suffer:
and the owner of mortgaged real estate
will simply have to scratch more
gravel and scratch it faster to remain
in the position where he was before.
What the consequences will be in liti-
cation and confusion have yet to be
revealed but in all probability they
will be both numerous and expensive.
The aspiration of those who want a
fair deal in life is entitled to sympathy
and respect but it will materially en-
pedite its realization to have hetter
general understanding of the funda-
mental truth that no man can lift
himself from poverty to afiluence by
tugging at his own bootstraps.

x keconcilins Americans and Filipinos.
\. MANILA, May, 12.-Senor Buenoa-
smino, at one time q member Of the %.
called Filipino republican cabinet, who
was recently liberated by General Otis,
announces that he has become recon.
ciled to American sovereignty and that
he will devote his influence to bringing
about peace. He has sent proposed
peace platform for the national Filipino
party to the insurgent leaders in Ma
Mia and to the insurgent generals, In
Guiding Aguinaldo, in the field. L.
I This platform declares that it IL i'm.
possible for the Filipinos to exist as q
nation without the protection OF the
United States and consequently they
must recognize American sovereignty
and strive to attain under constitution
the utmost liberty possible. T.
Continuing, Senior Buenoamino urges
that the Filipinos are incapable of self
government. He says:
I'm our independent government tho
most predominant notes were abuse and
immoraities, the offsprings of ignorance
and the inherited vices of Spain, by
which the Filipino regime was rem.
dered odious to our own people,"
Therefore, he contends, American
control is necessary, to prevent civil
strife.
