sylvania in the proceedings
of the Philadelphia national conven-
ton, The Tribune has completed ar
rangements which it is believed will
give it's readers as accurate <and COM
prehensive information as will be
printed in any interior journal in the
country.
We shall have, of course, the regular
news service of the Associated Press,
which on this occasion will be care
fully prepared by large corps of the
most experienced newspaper workers
in American journalism. But as an in
troductory feature to this conscientious
narrative of the routine news of the
convention, we have entered into an
agreement with the New York Tribune
whereby we shall receive, beginning
on Sunday next and continuing until
after the conventions adjournment,
duplicate copy each night of the spe-
cial summary of the days develop
ments prepared by the chief political
reporter of that superior journal This
will constitute a vivid word picture in
outline of the entire field at Philadel-
plfia and coming from a veteran chron-
icler of convention phases whose ac-
quaintance with the interior workings
of politics probably is not surpassed
by that of any other writer for the
American press, it WILL we trust, be
welcome to our readers.
In addition, The Tribune has been
allotted desk privileges at the conven-
tiOn and will have present throughout
the convention staff representative
to give special heed to Pennsylvania
interests. These preparations should
insure a series of convention reports
which will be well worth reading.

The day is past when a college education is
apt TO make coxcumb of young man; uni
versity degrees are too common for that. And
there are advantages the loss Of which is not
entirely made up by getting boy launched early
in business. 1t may be Of some help in the
mere matter Of money-making to take boy
from school and put him to work, but, in view
of the modern changes in educational work, this
Is doubtful. The rapid growth of technical
schools has made it possible for boy to learn
in school practically everything that he could
learn by experience in actual work. and learn
1t in better fashion, while he also has oppor
tunty to learn much that he would never learn
by experience. Every mans experience is mar

4 CCORDING to Walter Well
~ man, the Philippine plank
4 n of the platform to be sub
mitted by the administra-
ton leaders to the Philadelphia con-
vention was the only one in the draft
ing of which noteworthy differences
Of opinion developed. Some favored
the Withholding of any announcement
of political policy beyond the execu-
ton of the work Immediately in hand,
others advocated an explicit declara-
ton in favor of a permanent colonial
establishment, resembling that of
Great Britain.
Neither prevailed. A middle ground
was decided upon. Says Mr.. Wellman:
after citing the clear title OF SOW
ereignty obtained by the United States
in the most honorable of ways, in dis
charge of a great national duty, the
plank declares that the Philippines
should be held, that local self-govern-
ment should be accorded the people
as rapidly as they can assimilate IT.,
and that by this method of building
UP free institutions from the bottom,
from the township or municipal units,
autonomous government for the var
ious provinces and ultimately the
archipelago as a whole shall be in
stituted, the United States to be the
judge of when the people are ready
to assume this responsibilities This
frank declaration of the purpose of the
Republican party will enable the peo-
pie of the United States to know pre-
cisely what they are voting for when
they cast their ballots for Mckinley
and a Republican congress. More
over, it will serve as notice to the
people of the Philippines as to just
what they may expect if the Republic
can party remains in power-contin-
ued American sovereignty looking
toward the education and uplifting of
rude people as rapidly as possible
to the estate of self government under
complete local autonomy"
In view of the impression fostered
in the Philippines that not until after
the presidential election will the Fill
pinos know their fate, it is manifestly
advisable to have the issue fully and
frankly met by both the big parties
A Republican decla ration as suggested

SOME B0ER OPINIONS.

The events of the past week have cor
tained three distinctive episodes that
should cast a little light on the Boer
question, or the so-called prof. oer
sympathy that is said to exist in the
United States. In the first place King
Oscar of Norway and Sweden, man
noted all over Europe for his judicial
qualities, ruler Who more than any
other in Europe has been chosen to arr
bitrate international disputes, comes out
In a London Interview with an unquali-
dea statement disappearing the Boer
cause. You may make 1t quite clear
said King Oscar, that have no sym
patty whatever with the Beers. = This
well-informed and fair-minded ruler
thinks that the Beers are at fault in
their religion and their laws; that they
invaded English territory and opposed
righteous reforms. In the second place,

'Represen tatives 81 That country An
for Recognitaon.

Representatives. OF That C0O0try ASK
for Recognition.
New York, May DIR. A. y. Restrepa.
who arrived here few daye ago from
Colombia as the envoy OF the provisional
government to Washington. has been
sent here to ask for the tnsurgent army
the. recognition OF sbelligerency from the
United States.
TWAS the object of the revolutionary
government, DIR. Restrepa said, to an.
ticipate the qualification by Colombia OF
the deal just effected by the government
whereby II is to receive from the French
Canal company 100000 francs for the
extension of the contract of the build
ing of the Panama canal. The only way
that the insurgents can now prevent
this action is by securing the rights OF
belligerent army, which II 10 expected
will have theieffect of delaying the mat :
ter until the revolution Is ultimately
decided.
Further than this, the provisional gov
eminent declares that 1T wishes to
terminate the relations with the French
company and give to the United States
the concession to build the Panama
canal. The Colombian government has
accepted the terms Of the company and
the revolutionists say they will not rec
ognize the new contract and. to avoid
trouble with France at later day.
when they come into power, the provis-
ional government appeals to this coun-
try for Official recognition.
The extending Of the time to build the
canal for which negotiations the govern
;ment ut Bogota sent Senior Esquerra to
Paris. has been granted. 1t Is alleged,
an illegal manner, In an endeavor to
secure funds for the prosecution of the
revolution. According to the law OF the
country, II now becomes necessary for
the congress to approve OF the transac-
ton. but it Is said the government
refuses to submit the matter to that
body.
\ This attempt Of the Colombian revolu-
tionists to enlist the protection OF the
I United States is said to be the first in
stance of even a de facto South African
government asking this country to take
an interest In Its affairs. One OF the
documents which Restrepa will pre-
sent to Secretary Hay contains express
sions OF good Will toward the United
/ States, which he saysis the sentiment of
the entire liberal party.
/ DR.. Restrepa claims that the revolu-
tionists occupy great part of the coun-
where the laws Of the provisional gov
eminent are in effect.
He said there is no longer any doubt
of the eventual success OF the revolu-
tionary cause. DR.. Restrepa is hopeful
of success in his mission TO secure bell
ligerent rights for the revolutonists.
