THE BOGY OF EXPANSION.

I'm Reid's "Problems of Expansion"
is this forcible passage:
ain the light of such expositions OF
our constitutional power and our uni
form national practice it is difficult to
deal patiently with the remaining OBJ
jections to the acquisition of territory
purporting to be based on constitution
al grounds. One is that to govern the
Philippines without their consent or
against the opposition of AguiDaldo is
to violate the principle-only formu.
lated, to be sure, in the Declaration of
Independence, but, as they say, under
lying the whole Constitution-that
government derives it's just powers
from the consent of the governed. In
the Sulu group piracy prevailed for
centuries. How could a government
that put it down rest on the consent of
Sulu? Would it be without just powers
because the pirates did not vote in its
favor? In other parts of the archipela-
go what has been stigmatized as a
species of slavery prevails. Would a
government which stopped that be
without just powers till the slave-hold.
ers had conferred them at popular
election? In another part head-hunt-
ing is, at certain seasons of the year, a
recognized tribal custom. Would a
government which interfered with that
practice be open to denunciation as a
usurpation, without just powers, and
flagrantly violating the Constitution of
the United States, unless it waited at
the polls for the consent of the head
hunters? The truth is, all intelligent
men know-and few even in America,
except obvious demagogues, hesitate to
admit-that there are cases where a
good government does not and ought
not to rest OH the consent of the gov
erned. If men will not govern them
selves with respect for civilization and
its agencies, then when they get in the
way they must be governed-always
have been, whenever the world was
not retrograding, and always will be.
The notion that such government is a
revival of slavery, and that the United
States by doing its share of such work
i'm behalf of civilization would there
fore become infamous, though put for
ward with apparent gravity in some
eminently respectable quarters, is too
fantastic for serious consideration"

The Jews appear to be making rapid
strides to the front in all countries, not
only in commerce, but in scholarship,
science and the arts. In no country,
perhaps, is this more evident than In
America. The New York Sun recent
ly contained this item: "Of the 64U
girls who passed successfully the ex-
animation for admission to the Normal
college this nonth June, the great
majority are Jews. More than five.
sixths of the whole number came from
the public schools, Of which for many
years past the best scholars have been OF
that race chiefly. \ OF about 800
graduates from the public schools ad-
mitted to the free city college for boys,
the vast majority also are of the Jewish
race, the prOportionate number Of other
races being even smaller than among
the girls admitted to the Normal col.
lege."

One of the most curious political sit
uations observable anywhere in the
country ls In the state of North Caro-
lima. This strongly Democratic state
which the Republicans have not car.
ried In a national election since 1872
has two United States senators, one O
Republican and one Populist; a Re-
publican state administration, with q
Republican governor at his head, and
u state supreme court, a majority of the
members Of which are Republican.
These abnormal conditions are due to
the fact that the Populist party is still
strong i'm North Carolina; that its
strength has been drawn almost ex-
clusively from the white voters of the
state, aud that in combination with
the Republicans it has put the Demo-
Gratis in the minority.

The civilization of Africa goes on
apace. A British steamer sailed from
Hamburg few days ago with 1000
tons of spirits on board for Lagos and
Southern Nigeria. Another steamer,
sailing from the same port, carried
double that quantity. The spirits con.
sisted of bad gin and worse rum and
the trade is principally In the hands Of
a few big English and German firms.
