Those who are opposing the post ex-
seem tc assume that 1t Is a new form of
infamy-a fresh device of Satan n public
men to ruin mankind. AS a matter of fact,
the post canteen was an experiment as
long ago as 1887, and when the army regu-
lations were revised in 1888 for publication
in 1889, Article 80 was devoted to the au-
thorization and management of army can
teens, now officially known as post ex-
changes. Feb. 10, 1889. the secretary
of war during Mr.. Cleveland's first admin
istration issued the order authorizing the
establishment of post exchanges. in which
beer and light wines can be sold under pos
Tive restrictions. So the sale of beer is not
a new crime on the part Of the United
State, as certain zealots affirm. AS a mat
ter of fact. during the war for the Union,
whisky was quite frequently issued to
troops. not only When certain diseases were
prevalent, but when the service was spe-
cially ~fatiguing. Commissary whisky was
always sold to officers by the quart or
gallon. In all the years since the establish
ment of the post exchange the testimony
Of officers. with few exceptions. has been
in favor of the canteen. General o. o.
Howard is the only officer of high rank
who disapproved Of 1t, and he said that it
was preferable to the post trader.

THE FILIpINos AND THE FRIaRs.

There is danger that the friar question
may prove a serious stumbling block in the
pacifcation of the Philippines. The Jour-
nal has more than once commented on the
Importance of the question and the ne
cessity of vigorous treatment of it, and this
Is more apparent now han ever. In their
recent proposals for peace the Filipinos
made expulsion Of the friars a distinct
point. A dispatch from Manila a few days
ago stated that while General Macarthur
had no hesitation in promising acceptance
Of most Of the points in the proposal he
rejected that regarding the friars on the
ground that it belonged to the Taft COM
mission to decide. In that he was right,
for 1t is purely a civil question and in
wolves a construction of the treaty which
the military authorities would have no right
to make. To appreciate its Importance it
must be remembered that hatred of the
friars was one Of the chief causes of the
rebellion Of the Filipinos against Spanish
rule. Knowing that Spanish rule meant
friar rule they determined TO get rid Of

Is. intense. and from all impartial accounts
rightly so. ,as the friars have abused their
ecclesiastical powers and their civil rights
and franchises in the most outrageous man
bauchment of the people. The Filipinos
are right in hating them. and it is not sur
prising TO find that a conference of the
most intelligent Filipino leaders made the
expulsion OF the friars one Of the condi-
tons Of peace. The question is can it be
done. or If not. what can be done? It may
as we'll be admitted at once that expulsion
of the friars is out of the question. AL
though not yet American citizens they are
entitled prospectively TO the protection of
the Constitution, and that instrument would
not tolerate the prescription or Punishment
of any class. II the Filipinos had sue
ceeded in throwing of Spanish rule or win
ming their independence from the Ameri-
cans they would have made short and
bloody work OF the friars. Now the latter
have a double protection in the Constitu-
ton and the treaty with Spain. Aside from
the fact that under the Constitution they
cannot be expelled or banished the treaty
contains a provision which comes near
guaranteeing all the ecclesiastical and
property rights they enjoyed under Spanish
rule. Article s OF the treaty provides:
That the REIMBURSEMENT or cession. as the
case may be (of the public domain In the
Philippines). cannot In any respect impair
the property or rights which By law belong
to the peaceful possession or property OF all
kinds, OF provinces. municipalities. public

BRIST0W SAVED MONEY
HE REDUCED POSTAL EXPENSES IN
CUBA OVER 100000.
Return to Washington of the Fourth
Assistant Postmaster Genera1-
Nicely Living Well In Prison.

WASHINGTON. June 2s.-Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow, who for
the past five weeks has been in Havana
investigating the Cuban postal frauds and
initiating reforms I'm administration of the
Cuban postal service, returned to Wash
ington tonight. Tomorrow he will report
to Postmaster General Smith the result
of his Investigations, together with recon-
mendations for the betterment of existing
conditions. ending such report to his SUI
perior officer Mr.. Bristow expressed a dis
inclination to talk concerning his work.
He said, however, that while in Havana
he had given to the press quite freely the
results of his inquiry from time to time.
Concerning the reductions he had effected
in the administrator of postal affairs he
said:
1.-The amount of money saved by the re-
duction in the salaries of employees and the
abolition of unnecessary offices aggregates
over 100000. or about IS per cent of the
total. There also will be considerable saw
ing In the administrative branches of the
service, just how much 1 am not able to

of travelling, etc. How much the saving
will be in that connection will depend en-
tirely on circumstances. The reductions
contemplated will in nowise impair the
efficiency of the postal service of the
island"
Mr.. Bristow's work practically completes
the scope of inquiry of the postmaster gen.
eral when he was sem to the island. He
explained, however, that there were yet
some details being looked into by inspectors
in various parts of the island, and these
will be submitted to him later. If the
necessities of the case demand Mr.. Bris-
tow may visit the island again to round up
and formally finish the work begun by him
and put in force such additional regulations
as may seem to be desirable. He declined
TO discuss the question of whether or not
former Director of Posts Rathbone would
be arrested.
In this connection, however, he expressed
the same opinion as that held by Postmas-
ter General Smith, namely, that Rathbone
would not leave the island. as he would
be wanted as a witness in the criminal
prosecutions which are to follow. He
would make no statement as to the amounts
of the postal frauds which had been dis
closed as a result of his inquiries nor
whether any other persons In addition to
those whose names had been made public
would be called to account because of them.
Regarding Mr.. Fosnes, who succeeds
Rathbone as the director general, Mr.. Bris-
tow said he was a capable man for the
place and would give a good administra-
ton. He did not know how long his service
was to continue nor who would be selected
to fill the place ermanently

PRESIDENT OF HAWAII becomes AN
AMERICAN GOVERNOR.
P~resentment of an Annoying Issue in
h Inaugural Address-Person-
mel of the New Government.
orrespondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, June 1.-the last Of the
three great e~poch-making events in the
history of the annexation of the Hawaiian
islands TO the United States of America
took place this morning when Governor s.
b. Dole, first executive of the American
Territory. was ~inaugurated. The oath Of
office was taken and the inaugural address
delivered on the spot that was the scene
of the other two events-the reading of the
all important proclamation of 1893 and the
flag raising Of 1895.
Governor Dole was sworn and spoke to
the people of Hawaii from the steps OF
the building where seven years ago he first
appeared as the leader. and where for the
first time an actual beginning was made
in negotiations with the American govern
ment for annexation. Promptly at II
o'clock the Governor. with his old Cabinet
officers and the chief justice. entered the
central grand stand, and there was no de-
lay in beginning the ceremonies. Prayer by
the Rev. Mr.. Timoteo. a native preacher,
was first on the programme.
Minister Mott Smith read the commission
sent by President Mckinley to Governor
Dole and landed 1t to the new secretary Of
the Territory. Then the oath of Office was
administered by Chief Justice Frear.
Immediately after signing the oath Gov
ernor Dole gave his inaugural address. He
traced the history of Hawaii, and in con-
Guiding said: 1.-The pressing demands Of
agricultural corporations for cheap labor.
together with their great influence, will
continue TO be, as in the past, an obstacle
to the development of such a citizen popu-
lation as shall guard the political future
of Hawaii. The two enterprises are mutual
~ hostile. The one is interested In men as
machines. the other as factors in the de-
~velopment of the state"
The military review ended the formal
ceremonies of the day. The Governor and
his Cabinet left the grand stand and en-
tered the building 10 hold a reception in
the old throne room.
Governor Dole has made the following
appointments: E. H. Dole, attorney gen.
eral; j. A. McCandless. superintendent OF
public works; A. T. Atkinson, superintend-
ent OF public instruction; ]. F. Brown. COM
missioner of public lands: H. c.. Austin.
auditor; H. c. Myers. deputy auditor; A.
NJ. Brown, high sheriff: w. d. Alexander.
surveyor; A. T. Halves. jr.. private secre-
tary. The Office of treasurer OF the Terri
tory is yet TO be filed. Henry Il. Cooper
is serving temporarily.

The Brooklyn Eagle explains that the
reason that the grand jury in New York
did not indict the officers OF the American
Ice Company for violation of the antitrust
laws is that the stockholders are Tam
many's mayor. corporation counsel. dock
commissioner and other Tammany officials
as well as the family OF Boss Croker. Such
being the case. IT was not TO be expected
that a grand jury drawn by Tammany off,
cials would indict Tammany's ice company.
The failure TO indict the company to save
q few Tammany ~oflceholders and Mr..
Croker means the indictment of the entire
Tammany organization by public opinion.
The Republican attorney general is looking
after the ice trust.
