New-York tribune., 1901-05-30

prime object of the committees activities-to
show by absolute proof the connection between
the police and the various forms of vice in this
city-has not yet been accomplished: but con-
vctons are not everything. and, moreover,
some of the committees achievements have
been highly practical. The committee, for one
thing. has cut deeply into the source of Tam
many's Illicit revenues. The difference between
the amounts which can he collected from gam
bling dens and other places of low resort when
they are in regular and undsturbed operation
and when they are in constant danger of raids
and punshments is easy enough to see There
is reason to hope that the cutting off of this
revenue will seriously cripple Tammany in the
coming campaign. Tie closing of many of the
gambling places, moreover and the danger at
tending those persons who continue to frequent
places not wholly closed have also resulted in
a considerable diminuton of public gambling,
and this is cause for gratitude to the commit
tee. The demonstration that almost all of the
gambling games are crooked" has also had its
important effect.
Nor is this all. Whether conclusive for pur-
poses of prosecution not, the exposures
which the committee has succeeded in making
have opened the eyes of many persons who
until recently believed that much that was said
about official corruption and the prevalence of
gambling and other forms of vice was mere
denuncation and assertion without substantial
foundation. 1t is to he hoped that the commit
tee will be able to bring about the conviction
and punishment of some of the principal of
tenders: that it will be able to fasten upon its
John Doe" the crimes which one doubts
that he has committed, But if these aims were
to fail, the work would still he of much value.
1t is possible that after all the great achieve

term of four years; six Senators from each Of
the six departments, for six years terms, and
one Representative for each twenty-five thou
sand inhabitants or fraction of more than
twelve thousand for a four years term. The
election of these officers might occur. therefore,
if all went well in the latter part of August or
the first part Of September next. When that
government would be installed is a matter to be
determined by the electoral law. But the con-
stitutiOn provides that the congress shall meet
on the first Monday in November. so that the
insular government would probably not be fully
organized and established before that date.
There would then remain the making of a per-
manent treaty with the United States embOdy-
ing the provisions of the Platt amendment after
which. and after the United States President
was satisfied that the Cuban Government was
competent properly to fulfil its duties, the trans
fer of governmental functions from the Ameri-
can Governor to the Cuban Government might
he completed. 1t rests with the Cubans them
selves 10 say when that transfer shall he

action of their convention on Tuesday as more
than n hopeful step in that direction

COuRTNJNG AGAINST TAUU4NY

The meeting on Tuesday evening of the con-
ference committee representing various anti
Tammany organizations still further improved
the prospect of a sincere. solid and successful
union for good government in the coming cam
paign. There was no attempt or disposition to
exploit particular theories policies of munich
pal administration, and the resolutions which
were adopted are a simple expression of the
indispensable and undisputed requirement that
the candidates for municipal offices shall he

tee that they will govern the city for the advan-
tage of all its inhabitants, and neither use their
offices nor permit others to them for the
benefit of any political organization. To that
end it is declared essential Ito oppose every
candidate who shall accept nomination from

mental principles which the resolutions set

lean falls into the error of saying:
The commercial privileges granted TO Spain
uhutr the Parls treaty are clearly Illegal ac-
cording 10 this decision and IL viii be the duty
OF congress as soon as IL meets 10 abolish them
This will give rise to some nice points of diplo-
macy. ana suggests. perhaps. a quid pro quo
In reality this appears 10 be the only thing OF
practical Importance decided by the court.
This is a misapprehension. to which we all
attention not at all in critical spirit well realz
ing that with the many intricate questions in
volved II is not easy TO determine the exact
bearing OF the decision on all points of the gov
eminent policy, hut merely because the status
OF the treaty is an important point about which
the truth should he known. The treaty privi-
leges are not at all interfered with by the do
cision for the court declares that the uniform
impOst requirement of the constitution becomes
operative only by affirmative action of Con
gress There is therefore no restraint upon the
treaty making power in the matter of CONNER
cial concessions 10 foreign countries in these
territories Indeed. Justice Brown i'm his onin
ion discussed this very treaty question. point
ing out how similar concessions had been mode
in the case of Louisiana and Florida and from
that argued that the ports so opencd in the
early days must have been considered as be-
the constitution, and that therefore all ports
outside of States must be beyond It, Those
who hold that the constitution does extend 10
territories Immediately, that the Foraker law
is unconstitutional and who disagree with JUS
tice Browns reasoning on this point would
probably uphold the validity of the treaty con

TIE TRIBUNE AND THE DECISION.

Now that the victory is won and the SuDrema
Court has sustained the power of Congress 70
hold the new possessions as separate estates
The Tribune has reason TO contemplate with
sausfacuon IFS part i'm the establishment of
lhat doctrine, so necessary at once 10 the ex-
panslon OF the nations external power and to
the preservation Of its domestic institutions
III undertook at the outset an earnest conflict 10
secure for this government reasona bile freedom
10 meet its responsibilities in distant quarters
OF the globe, has been made the target of the
bitterest criticism and has not shr1lnk from the
responsibility thrust upon il by its opponents
as perhaps the earliest advocate of what they
were pleased 10 call imperialism" But II
has steadily, from the beginning. insisted Oh
treating the new possessions as dependencies
and resisted the tendency of sentimentalists 70
rush headlong with outstretched arms TO bring
strange peoples into fellowship as partners in
the American government: and il feels entitled
when one stage Of lts labors has been accom-
phshed, TO take pride in the result which many
are now found TO rejoice over.
The conclusion of hostilites with Spain left
this country 10 decide the fate of the Philip
pines. No other course seemed open but to
take possession of them. unless we would leave
them derelict or remand them back TO Spain
The Tribune was and is convinced that the
United States was bound in self-respect. for
the sake Of the Filipinos and for the sake of the
civilized world, 10 assume that trust forced
upon il by circumstances. Ii did all I'm its
power TO secure that action. but il never con-
templated the incorporation of these Asiatic
peoples within the American continental re-
public. The original anti-eynansionists first
objected 10 the acquisition for fear that ID would
Introduce barbarian elements into our citizen-
ship, and advocated a protectorate Then.
after the treaty was ratified, by a sudden turn
they became the opponents Of anything like a
protectorate or other exercise OF authority at
arms length, and. taking the name of .'anti-
imperialists," insisted that these Asiatics
whose fellowship they had dreaded must at
once be brought under constitution and
their islands made Territories. like New-Mexico
and Arizona. with ultimate expectations of
Statehood
Unfortunately. many people. led away by
catchwords and thoughtess enthusiasm for
''extending American institutions" did not stor

OF those institutions among American settlers
in the West and the semi-barbarians of other
races In distant islands. Some do not even vet
