But while the assumption that we

Sgrossly Inconsistent with the view ta-
ken OF them by Mr.. Bryan and the So
called impcrinllats. The authority OF
governments resting solely on the com
sent OF the governed and the inalienable
right. to life. liberty. and the pursuit OF
happiness cannot be reconciled with the

VIEW BRITISH PROTECTORATE.
The Flag Of England Raised Over the Tong q
Group in the SOuth Pacific.

The Tonga Archipelago Ia considerably south
OF Samoa and Fiji lies about midway between
them. II is ONE distance from any Of the
chief ocean highways between the New World
and Australia and therefore has not attracted
SO much attention from European Powers
that have long been picking up unappropriatcd
islands. This Is doubtless the reason why
the young King OF Tonga has been able to enjoy
the distinction. for a while. OF being the last
independent ruler. among the island groups
of the Pacific. He received a letter from ex-
Queen Liliuokslani of Hawaii congratulating
him upon this proud fact and he was greatly
elated by this attention.
But the King OF the Tonga group Is no longer
independent for gentle but persistent suasion
was brought TO bear upon him and he at last
consented to place his Islands under British
protection. 1t came about in this way:
Though the group Is not on any Of the big
trade routes, II Is very fertile. has vast groves
of cocoanut palms and produces a great deal
of copra. which Is very useful for soap-making
and some other purposes, The Germans.

sells, have practically monopoiized this trade.

Germany had to make various concessions
TO England as compensation for her claims
In Samoa and among these sops thrown TO
the British lion was the Tonga group. The
Germans said: ITO be sure We have no DO
litical claims upon the Tonsans. but, CONNER
cially, their islands have really been ours.
You may sot up a protectorats IL you wish 10
and we will keep hands of. now and ever
more"
Thus everything was arranged on paper
before the Tongans knew anything about IL;
and then the delicate task devolved upon Mr..
BnsIl Thomson. the British special commits
sioner, to break the news to the Tongans He
had visited the Islands before and the people
liked him, for he IL a jolly good fellow. But
1t is doubtful II he would have made much
Roadway II II had not been tina, the King had
recently contracted n marriage that was not
at all popular with many OF the most influential
men In the Islands; and by securing their in
terest and cajoling tho King. who at first thought
he preferred independence to all the protec-
torates In the world, Mr.. Thomson finally se-
cured the signing Of the treaty no had pre-
pared.
This treaty will prevent any other Power
from entering into relations viii Tonga, II
brings all foreigners under the jurisdiction
OF the British court and gives England coaling
and repairing stations in the two best harbors
IN the group. But tho sovereignty Of the King
is not disturbed and not an acre. OF land 1t to
he held by whites except upon lease, SO tho
Tongans will remain In control of most OF their
affairs, though their country has been formally
declared to be a British protectorate.

TOPEKA. Kan. Aug. i2.-Gov. Stanley. as the
Chief Executive Of Kansas, has refused to grant
a pardon which he. as a private citizen. rec
commended. ne has been wrestling with tho
embarrassing question several days and to-
day he announced his final decision.
Eight years ago Art" Rates. a negro tough
AZ Wichita, Gov. Stanley's home town, became
involved in a street quarrel with another negro
named William Horton. A fight followed In
which Hates stabbed and killed Horton. STAN
ley defended Hates. but seeing the evidence
against his client was too strong advised him
to plead guilty Of murder In the second de-
gree rather than stand trial for murder In the
first degree. This Rates did and instead OF
receiving a minimum sentence, as Stanley had
expected. Judge Reed gave him a sentence OF
twenty years ~ the penitentiary.
After he had been in the penitentlary a couple
Of years Hates made an application for a pardon.
His best Endorsement came from Stanley, who
wrote a personal letter to the Governor strongly
urging the pardon. The application was denied
by Gov Morril ut that time and a few days
ago Rates made another. When the case
came up for n hearing Gov. Stanley was con-
fronted by his own vigorous letter in kates's
behalf.
In refusing to grant the pardon Gov. Stanley
said to-day that n man AZ Governor looks upon
such matters In an entirely different light from
what he does as a private citizen.
