Hn waiians as Legislators.

There are some funny things doing over
in Honolulu in the legislative way. The
native party, having gained control over
the first territorial legislature Is having A
great time with the rules of procedure, the
processes Of enactment and, most of all
the policy of legislation. One of the first
moves of this party was to object to the
Fesence in the Legislative halls of the sec

the federal government to make a contin-
ucus report upon the proceedings of the

AguinaldO md the states.

| The report from Manila that Aguinaldo
! had been or was at once about to be in
| vited by the President to come to this
country is clearly premature. 1t does not
| require the denials of the administration
| to set it at rest, so far as the immediate
present is concerned The drift today
seems to be steadily toward the utilization
| of Aguinaldo's capture to effect complete
quelling Of the disorganized revolt. His
acceptance of the American sovereignty is
the first step Now comes the report that
he is preparing manifesto to his former
followers urging them to do the same, and
setting forth the advantages of American
rule, which have been shown to him by
Chief Justice Areflano. Should he Issue
such a proclamation, thus giving a meas
ure of proof of his sincerity in taking the
oath, and that proclamation should prove
effective with the other insurgent leaders,
two courses would be open to the United
States government in his disposition. He
might be treated as others of the insured
tionary leaders have been and allowed to
go free under a certain amount of espion-
age: or he might be brought to this coun-
try for purposes of further enlightenment.
There is a certain amount of danger in
permitting Aguinaldo to go free among his
own people Immediately after his capture
even when he has given such tokens of
sincerity as the taking of an oath and the
issue of a manifesto. With an elastic con-
science and ample opportunity, with the
temptations of scheming friends assailing
him. he might easily fall from grace, how
ever good his present intentions His con-
version to Americanism was so precpitate
that it leaves much to be desired in the
way of thorough instruction under care
rive benefit from a visit to the United
States. But all would depend upon his
guides and friends. AS The Star suggested
the other day, visit to these states under
the auspices of the Atkinsonians would
prove disastrous to him and embarrassing
to the United States. A visit a ward of
the nation, not especially as guest but
as pupil. with certain precautions to pre-
vent heroizing and the imitation of his
ideas of his own Importance. would doubt
less clinch the impressions he has already
received from Judge Areilano. Incidentally
1t would keep him out of harms way at
home long enough to allow the time for a
possible reaction toward revolt to pass
safely.
But the question does not need to be an
swered now Aguinaldo is personally COM
Portable and happy and is making daily
progress toward Americanism the insur-
rection is collapsing in every section, and
the end of the military phase of the Amer
lean occupation is rapidly approaching.
There will be ample opportunity to deter
mine whether it is better that the former
insurgent leader be permitted to take I'D
his life among his old associates under the
new sovereignty and TO work out his own
salvation, sent to Guam to reflect upon his
mistakes, or brought here for temporary

Head Us. Somebody,

Secretary wiusIow of the Anti-Tmperial-
let League puts the case in this way:

tiOn would still remain unsettled: How are
the people and government of the United
States to be affected? 1t Is possible that the
influence Of AguinaIdo may be consldera

number of the Filipinos as having be-

make no difference to our work.

League has hopes of saving the old man.

carry it through.
Are we to have the fight all over again?

During severe storm in Pittsburg many
miles of electric wires of all sorts were

of inaugurating the system of proyinciaI

The system of government which the
commissioners will establish has been for

the needs of the people. The Temporary
form of provincial government which was
hastily inaugurated some two years ago
and which necessarily retained some Of the
old code, has been tilely remodelled and
In its work the commission has welcomed
and solicited the advice and suggestions OF
the leading men OF the country in order

country.

churian treaty as she herself Is. As they
understand it's terms. it is a violation OF
a distinct understanding. Itsg gives Russia
advantages which at the outset of the Chi
nese difficulties she did not so much as in
dictate. And so they have advised China
not to sign. They have not forbidden her
doing so, because they are neither seeking a
quarrel with Russia, nor assuming guar
dianship over China. But as they see the
matter, the treaty is both unwise and I'M
fair, and while benefitfng Russia will injure
everybody else in interest. Should China
sign therefore she would offend those to
whom she must look in future for recogni-
ton and cooperation.
Even without the treaty, Russia's will
still be the whip hand If she is disposed
to use it. She is on the ground in force.
and, holding that her interests require it.,
may remain. In such circumstances only
force could expel her. China could not at
tempt this. She is PROSTATE. Her strong
est weapon is a protest. Would Japan at
tempt it? Next to China, she has the most
to fear from Russian aggression in China
The news from Japan is trife warlike
but such news al a time of excitement is
always to be received with caution. No
other power has gone, or seems disposed to
go, beyond the bounds of polite protest
and that protest has been filed with China
and not with Russia. .
But, as in China's case, can Russia afford
to go counter in this business to the known
wishes of the other powers? She is to deal
with them In future. and surely it will not
advance her interests or her standing with
them to emerge from this concert of &C
ton in China with the smutch of trick on
her reputation. That would be a big price
to pay even for Manchuria.
