The Board of Directors of the Illinois Contra,
Railroad Company. at a meeting held July Is
1900, adopted the following preamble and reso
luton:
Upon the recommendation of the President
the resoluti~n adopted July 81, 1897, authorizing
the free transportation of stockholders over
the company's lines, to Chicago and return, at
the time of the annual meeting of STOCKHOLDERS,
was reconsidered and amended SO as to read as
follows:
RESOLVED That, until the further order of
this board there may be issued, to each holder
of one or more shares of the capital stock of the
Illinois Central Railroad Company, as regis
tered tel on the books OF the company, a ticket
enabling him. or her, to travel free over the
coinpany's lines from the station on the Illinois
Central Railroad nearest to his or her register
ed address, to Chicago and return, for the pur-
pose of attending, in person, the meetings of
of stockholders. Such ticket to be good for
the journey to Chicago only during the four
days Immediately preceding. ami the day of the
meeting, and for the return journey from CHI
cago only on the day of the meeting and the
four days immediately following, when prop
erly countersigned and stamped during bust

made. Important amendments were
promulgated by executive order under
date of May %, 1892 having for their
principal purpose the exception from
competitive examination of certain
places involving fiduciary responsible
ties or duties Of a strictly confidential,
scientific or executive character, which
it was thought might better be filled
either by non-competitive examination
or by other tests of fitness in the dis
erection of the appointing officer. 1t is
gratifying that the experience Of more
than year has indicated these
changes. in the marked Improvement
of the public service. The merit sys-
TEN, as far as practicable, is made the
basis for appointments to Office in our
new TERRITORY.

store public order, establish law. dus-
tice and stable conditions as ours.
Neither congress nor the executive can
establish stable government in these
islands under our right or sovereignty,
our authority, and our flag. And this
we are doing.
1--WE could not do it as protector
ate power so completely or so success
fully as we are doing it now. AS the
sovereign power we can Initiate action
and shape means to ends, AND guide
the Filipinos to self-development and
Self-goyernment. AS protectOrate
power we could not initiate action, but
would be compelled to follow and up
hold people with no capacity yet to
go alone. In the one case we can
protect both ourselves and the Fill
pinos from being involved in danger
GUS complications; in the other we
could not protect even the Filipinos
until after their trouble had come. Be
sides, if we cannot establish any gov
eminent of our own without the con-
sent of the governed, as our opponents
contend, then we could not establish
stable government for them or
make ours a protectorate without the
like consent, and neither the majority
of the people nor q minority of the
! people have invited us to assume it.
| We could not maintain protectorate
even with the consent Of the governed
| without giving provocation for con-
| tiicts and possibly costly wars. Our
rights in the Philippines are now free
| from outside interference and will con-
tinue so in our present relation. They
| would not be thus free in any other
relation. We will not give up our own
to guarantee another sovereignty.
"Our title is good. Our peace COM
missioners believe they were receiv-
ing a good title when they concluded
the treaty. The executive believed it
was a good title when he submitted
it to the senate of the United States
for it's ratification. The senate be-
lieved it was good title when they
gave it their constitutional assent, and
| the congress seems not to have
doubted its completeness when they
appropriated $2O,000,00O provided by
| the treaty. II any who favored its
ratification believed 1t gave us bad
title, they were not sincere. Our title
is practically identical with that I'M
der which we hold our territory ac-
| quired since the beginning Of the gov
eminent, and under which we have
exercised full sovereignty and estab-
lished government for the inhabitants.

rected it to sail? Where could it have
gone? What port in the Orient was
open to it? Do our adversaries con-
demn the expedition under the COM
mand of General Merritt to strengthen
Dewey in the distant ocean and as
siSt in our triumph over Spain, with
which nation we We're at war? Was
it not our highest duty to strike Spain
at every vulnerable point, that the war
might be successfully concluded at
the earliest practicable momentf And
was it not our duty to protect the lives
and property of those who came with
in our control by the fortunes of war?
Could we have come away at any
time between May l, 1898, and the con-
clusion of peace without stain
upon our good name? Could we have
come away without dishonor at any
time after the ratification of the peace
treaty by the senate Of the United
States?
"There has been no time since the
destruction of the enemy's fleet when
we could or should have left the Philip
pine archipelago.
"It has been asserted that there
would have been no fighting in the
Philippines if congress had declared
its purpose to give independence to
the Tagal insurgents. The insurgents
did not wait for the action of congress.
They assumed the offensive; they OPP
ened fire on our army. Those who
assert our responsibility for the be-
ginning of the conflict have forgotten
that before the treaty was ratified in
the senate and while it was being
debated in that body, and while the
Bacon resolution was under discus
sion, on Feb. 4, 1899, the insurgents
attacked the American army, after
being previously advised that the
American forces were under orders
not fire upon them except in defense.
