THOSE SOUTH AFRICAN CONTRACTS.

Further information comes to hand about
those South African railroad contracts which
have been are TO be placed in the United
States, and over which some futile efforts have
been made 10 raise a political pother against
the British Government. 1t seems that the
British Government is not concerned in the case
at ALL 1t owns or controls for the present the
railroads. But it has enough cars. etc, for its
own purposes and can afford TO wait for new
supplies until they can be provided in Great
Britain. The mine owners, however, are not
SO patient. They want to get to work again
at once and get some returns from the millions
of capital that have been lying in enforced
idleness for more than year In order for
them TO do 80, however, many more freight cars
will be necessary on the railroads. The British
War Department told them 1t could not provide
the cars now. and probably not within a year,
and it suggested that if they could themselves
get them any they would best do and
sell them 10 the Government afterward.
The mine owners acted upon this sugges-
ton. There was no question of political infiu-
favOritism any such thing. These
shrewd. energetic business men simply set out
to get what they wanted in the quickest time
possible, without regard to where they got 1t.
They invited bids from both British and Amer
lean firms The Americans offered to provide
everything needed i'll three months time. The
British offered nothing better than TO provide
a part Of the in seven months at a price
30 per cent higher than that asked by the
Americans. Naturally. the contracts, or most
of them, were placed in the United States. It
purely and simply a matter OF business.

This authoritative explanation of the
will, of course, spike the guns of those who

Americans-than that 1t demonstrates again
the same fact that set forth in the cases
Of the Atbara bridge and of the Khartoum rail
road, and that has similarly been shown in the
annals Of American foreign commerce all

SOUTHERN APATHY.
York @

The electoral votes of all the Southern States
except those upon the border are, of course,
going to be cast for Mr.. Bryan 1t is perfectly
evident however, that the people there are
supporting Mr. Bryan without any enthusiasm
simply as a matter Of political tradition under
pressure Of the race question, and that their
ballots will be cast for him in the hope and
expectation that somebody else will do what
they really want done and defeat him. The
South generally takes its politics seriously. But
this wear the accustomed heat and earnestness
are absent and many Southern newspapers
while continuing to tell their readers to vote
for Mr. Bryan. make no concealment of their
enjoyment of Republican Government and the
utter apathy of their people over the proposition
TO change IL
1.-The Nashville American a few days ago
published an article entitled What Is the
MatterT saving: THE apathy prevailing among
~fhe voters OF this county. and especially among
THE Democrats, does not indicate that sort of
party spirit which might be expected 10 be
conspicuous trait in the ranks" 1t proceeded
10 tell how the Mayor Of Nashville went by
invitation to make political speech in popu-
Ious neighborhOod and found less than a dozen
persons present. Another popular local speaker
had similar experience in the public square.
A week or so before one Of the most prominent
orators Of the State, a candidate for electoral

attendance WAS almost failure. The Demo

AN UNANSWERED QUESTION,

The Washington Post" which does not be
Iieve in the Republican view of the relation of
the newly acquired territories to the Constitu-
ton, is nevertheless able to face frankly the
dilemma involved in the discussion and ac-
knowledges the practical advantages which
would accrue from a decision by the Supreme
Court uphoding the Porto Rican legislation. 1t
says:
IT, in opposition to what we expect. the court
should sustain the Republican contention, 1t
would be easy matter to get rid of the Philip
pines in case their retention became undesira BILE.
AS property they could be sold, given away
otherwise disposed Of" But if they are
under the Constitution, if they an integral
part OF the United States. where is the con-
stitutional authority for permitting them to
pass out Of the sovereignty Of this Republic?
The POST has propounded that question sew
eTal times, but ii has not been answered.
The Tribune has likewise propounded the
question several times and it has not been an
swered and we fear it Will be propounded many
more times before it is answered. The ques-
ton was inevitably suggested by the contradic-
tons in the Kansas City platform, but moth
ing can induce Mr. Bryan even 10 touch upon
the task of harmoniZing these Inconsistent
articles of his declaration Of principles. The
platform ut one point declares that the Consti-
tuition eX prOpriO vigore extends over the new
territories and makes their inhabitants citizens
of the United States. At another it declares
that the Filipinos. over whom, be it remembered,
according TO its previously announced theory
the Constitution extends, are not and must not
be made citizens. but must be east off from
this country, deprived of the constitutional
rights which it is said belong to all peoples of
annexed territory. and be forced to maintain
a stable government of their own. Thus did
the Democratic platform reduce Democratic
doctrine 10 an absurdity. If Porto Ricans are
under the Constitution are the Filipinos. If
the Porto Ricans must be citizens, so must the
Filipinos. If II was an outrage to establish a
stable government in Porto Rico outside the
Constitution, it would be outrage to estab-
fish or help the FilipinOs TO establish a stable
government outside the Constitution at Manila
in obedience 10 the policy of the Democratic
party. But that is a dilemma Mr.. Bryan does
not like TO face. 1t is easier to fan hatred of
man for man with incendiary prophecies about
the Army which Republicans plan to establish
near the great cities to kill workingmen.

BRYAH's PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN.

The following quotations are from letter re-
Gently sent to a friend in this country by an
American residing in the Philippines;
Conditions were improving here very rapidly
up to the time Bryan was nominated and began
to talk in public The result OF the announce
ment Of his policy in regard to the Philippines
was 10 put stop TO the important surrenders.
which were steadily being made under the terms
Of the amnesty, and to bring about renewed
hostilities through the worst districts here in
LuZon.
We know absolutely from captured correspond
ence that this desperate effort to keep up a
show of resistance is being made only in the
hope of influencing the election at home, and
important insurgent leaders like Sandco say
that unless Bryan is elected the in China
draws troops from these islands they will give
up their useless efforts in November.
l therefore do not look for any general i'm
provement in the situation until after the Presi-
dental election; but, with that out Of the way,
/ expect to a sudden change for the better.
At present the insurgents are resorting to that
last resort of failing cause-wholesale assassi-
nation
They are putting prices on the heads of men
known TO be friendly to the Americans, and are
resorting to the most hendish tortures and
mutilations in order TO influence the common
people by fear.
The letter from which these extracts are
taken was not written by an ignorant and
Eighty person, incompetent to understand or
report the things he writes about 1t was not
written by Il reckless person anxious only to
create a sensation and make talk at home 1t
was not written by an obscure person for whose
character and sense Of responsibility nobody
here can yOuch. 1t was written by Dean G.
Worcester, a member of the present Philippine
Commission, as he of the former one who
took with him his first official trip to the
archipelago an unusual amount of information
concerning the islands and their inhabitants
and who has had by reason of his extended
residence there remarkable opportunities to en-
large, confirm and correct his knowledge of their
condition and prospects.
Professor Worcester will doubtless be accused
both by those to whom the facts that he relates
are agreeable reading and by those who would
prefer 20 have had them concealed of having
produced a campaign document at convenient
moment. II is an accusation of which he has no
cause TO be ashamed, whether he intended his LET
ter for publication or not. There is no conceiv-
able reason why such facts should hot ne set
forth on the highest authority. He and his col
leagues of the Commission engaged in an
effort to pacify the islands and establish among
their people as rapidly as a prudent regard for
their welfare and the obligations of the United
States will permit civil government locally
administered 10y themselves. They find that
honest and generous endeavOr impeded by
the effects which the Bryan candidacy and
propaganda are producing upon the shallow
minds and violent passions of the leaders of
the Filipino nsurrection Competent evidence
