every state In South America was Origi-
nally cOlonysof Spain and revolted from
her on account of cruel and oppres-
sive rule. Some of them, notably Ven
ezuela, we had protected against superior
powers yet nearly every one of them
sympathized with Spain in her recent
war with the United States, largely be-
cause of race af1iniUies. Moreover,
Porto Rico was fairly contented with
her lot under Spain. There had been no
revolution In the island for great many
years ssand the people enjoyed a certain
degree Of self government. They had be-
come accustomed to certain ways and
methods. The advent of the Americans
brought new ways and methods to which
the natives cannot readily adapt them
selves, and naturally enough they sigh
for the good old times In time, as they be-
come accustomed to our ways a good deal
of the present dissatisfaction viii wear
Off. but it is hardly to be expected that
people alien in race and language, with
ties of blood binding them to another
nation, will ever fesl that devotion and
loyalty to the United States, no matter
how we'll they are treated, that would
characterize a colony made up of people
of our own race and lang uage. The
French in Canada have never learned to
love the English, though they have been
treated with the greatest consideration,
and enjoyed the fullest freedom. 1t is al
together probable, also, that some of the
complaints that come from Porto Rico
are instigated by the hope that they may
bring further assistance from the United
States, and 1t is question if our large
donations to the people of the island have
not cultivated among them spirit of
querulousness Tor the sake of getting more
donations.

When Mr. Bryan cOunselled the ratifica-
ton of the Paris treaty he gave assent to
the doctrine that we may buy and take
possession Of territory thickly peopled
without the consent of it's inhabitants,
or even against their consent. The
treaty of Paris was made by the commits
sioners of the United States and the COM
missioners of Spain. The wishes of the
FilipinOs were not consulted al all The
Philippine islands were transferred by
Spain to the United States regardless of
the wishes of the inhabitants. Mr.. Hoar
and Mr.. Hale and many other senators
attacked this treaty on the ground that
this transfer violated the fundamental
principle OF the consent of the governed.
They urged its modification so that it
would provide, not for a transfer, but
merely for relinquishment of title by
Spain But Mr.. Bryan FASTENED to
Washington, and by persuasion and argu-
ment, induced enough Democratic sena-
tors who had intended to support the
position of Senator Hoar and Senator
Hale to vote for the treaty to secure its
ratification. Thus while the consent Eof
the governed theory was in the balance
the Democratic candidate for President
who IS now so disturbed because we are
attempting to govern a people against
their viii, advised his friends in the
Senate to SO vote as to repudiate that
theory. 1t would seem that he was
esstopped by his conduct In that matter
from saying much about the consent of
the governed hereafter. Judged by the
standard which Bryan is now setting up
the taking of the Philippines through the
treaty was stealing them. Yet he admits
he advised the taking. He c0unseIled
what, according to his present code OF
ethics, is stealing, To be sure he says
that he thought the United States would
make restitution by returning them, but
even if they had there would have re-
manned q solemn violation of the consent
of the governed theory, as Mr.. Bryan
now preachessit.

VIII BE OccIdentalized.

Mr.. Wang Chung Huei, the Chinese
consul general at Callao, Peru, arrived
here Friday aboard the Panama Rail-
road steamship Hudson, from Colon. he
was met by the Chinese consul at this
port and spent the night at the local con
sulate. He Will go to Washington today
and report to the Chinese minister, Mr..
WI Ting-fang Mr.. Wang Chung HueI
speaks English fiuently and did not OBJ
ject to being interviewed He said that
ne regretted exceedingly that his country
had become involved in trouble with the
powers. What appeared to be a grave and
perilous thing for China was in reality a
blessing in disguise, however. The effect
OF it would be to put the Conservatives,
who had long retarded the progress of
the Chinese, in the background. The
Reformers would obtain control of the
country and the best ideas of Western
civilization would be adopted.
All the young men who had been out
side of China realized how backward the
Chinese had been, and that their only
hope was to abandon the tools aud the
methods of their ancestors and make an
effort to keep up with the Western process
sion, as the Japanese had done since 1878
Japan had been transformed by the
no reason why China should not follow
the example Of the Japs Mr.. Wang said
that he had travelled extensively and
realized how much in the rear of the West
the Chinese were, and how earnestly they
should strive to bring themselves into
closer contact with Western methods.
Mr.. Wang said that he believed that &
new and moro glorious China WOuIC
emerge from the ordeal of riot and rebel
hon caused by the Boxers. He said thai
the Chinese looked to the United States
to help them out of their trouble and *
set them in the right path, and that he

1t may not be fair to attribute the de-
cisiOn Of the War Departmental send no
more troops to China to the fact that
copies of Mr.. George Fred Williams re-
cent speeches have reached Washington,
but it Is to be hoped that Mr.. Williams
Will be apprised Of the order, and that
1t may have a soothing effect upon his
fevered imagination. In his speech in
this city, Thursday evening, Mr.. Will
Iiams, after graciOusly admitting that
the administration was right in sending
troops to rescue Minister Conger asked in
wild alarm, ''but when will that army
ever come back? Will it ever come
back?'' He answers his own question by
making the remarkable assertion that
Down in your hearts you know If the
administration has its way it VIII never
come back And he talks about our
getting "a province of China with 80. 900, =
O0O coolies Now what may be down in
Mr.. Williams heart, or in his imagina-
ton, it would be difficult to say-things
strange and weird and fantastic would
be there-but such sheer nonsense will
not be found in the hearts of many Yer
mOnters, be they Democrats or Republi-
cans. II Mr.. Williams is really in earn
est in such talk his friends should look
after him carefully. He ought not to be
at large.

Mr.. James A. Sample, chief of the is
sue division of the treasury department,
has been making a tour OF Porto Rico,
and he brings back the report that the
majority of the natives are opposed to
American rule. Probably this is the
case, but 1t is not to be inferred from
1t that our rule is not better than
Spanish rule or that the natives are not,
or will not be, better off under it. The
ties of blood are very strong, and those
ties bind Porto Rico to Spain. NsarIy

There was practically no news from

Of the morning that the allies had been
attacked by the Chinese and defeated,
was neither confirmed nor denied. No
credit is given to it in Washington or
anywhere else. The explanation of its
origin suggested in Washington de-
spatches is plausible, but it is just as
likely that the story was made out Of

There has been much controversy as to
what Sheriff Despeaux promised the
voters that he would do if elected sheriff
OF this county. Certain declarations
he is reported to have made to news
paper in this city have been denied by
him, theoretically at least On the
ninth day of March. 1899, Mr.. Despeaux
appeared before a committee Of the legis-
lature in opposition to bill then pend
ing to cut down the fees OF the sheriff
Office. In his testimony on that oecas-
ion he thus declared the policy which
he had promised to pursue:
In my canvass I approached men for
their friendship. This was the theme
uDpermOst in their minds, and [ told
them that / was no crank, but I would
promise to give to The people Of Cumber
land cOuntysa decent enforcement of the
law, and the fines should go to the county.
make this statement now.
These words were taken down at the
time and are exactly as he spoke them.
Ex-senator Edmunds has all along
bean an opponent of the expansion policy,
but he can't support Bryan. Here is
another illustration OF the difficulty
of making imperialism or expansion the
paramount issue with Bryan as the can
didate. We're the question of expansion
pure and simple presented to the voters
Mr.. Edmunds would undoubtedly vote7in
the negative, but he recognizes, as do
large part of the undergraduates, that
by voting for Bryan they will be voting
for free silver. for curtailing the power
of the courts, and for the elevation to
the high offices of the government of such
men as Altgeld, Lentz, Tillman and
George Fred civilians. They will be sure,
too, that they are voting for those things,
while they will not be sure that they a-e
voting for any change Of foreign policy
along with them, since the South upon
which Mr.. Bryan must depend to carry
out his declared policy In regard to the
Philippines is full of advocates of expan-
sion, who do not hesitate even now to
avow that he can get no support from
them for any policy that looks to any
thing but the permanent holding of the
Philippines
