The announcement today that Judge Taft
has been appointed civil governor of the
Philippine Islands follows the line Of gen.
eral expectation. Likewise in accordance
with the popular understanding is the fact
that this appointment is classified under
the War Department head, indicating that
1t is to be the policy of the government
for the present 10 consider the Philippines
as remaining under military rule. This is
a device to prevent difficulties arising under
a possible decision by the Supreme Court
similar to that rendered in the case of
Porto Rico. To remove the archipelago
wholly from military control and to estab-
lsh it upon a civil basis, as at first
planned, would be to invite heavy rebates
OF customs dues In case the court should
hold to these islands as 1t did of the
other. or else to compel an extra session of
Congress to enact laws suitable for the
prospective emergency.
The decision to continue the outward
form of military administration was doubt
less the wisest to be reached under the
circumstances. The islands are nearly all
paclfied and the natives have in a crafty
ing degree been brought not only under the
avowed sovereignty of the United States
but TO a practical appreciation of the
beneflcent purposes of this government.
They are not likely in the mass to see in
the continuance of the military forms of
administration any ground for suspicion
of the ultimate purposes of the dominant
power They are everywhere feeling the
beneficial effects of American rule. Their
taxes are being adjusted to the needs Of
government and not fixed solely by the
avarice and opportunity of governors and
collectors. Their children are being edu-
Gated. Their grievances are being gradual
ly remedied. The government is seeking
an equitable solution of the problems of
the friars and their lands. Men of their
own race are being admitted in large and
increasing measure to responsible places
The judicial system is being purified of its
corruption and Incompetence. Government
is becoming to them something helpful and
kindly, instead of remaining, as under
Spanish control, a grinding, impoverishing
debasing influence.
For these reasons and for the further
reason that Judge Taft has already be-
come known throughout the archipelago
as man of ability, justice and judgment,
this announcement will probably be re-
ceived with gratitude by the intelligent
islanders. To all intents and purposes
great change is wrought by the appoint
ment of a civil governor whether under
the direct supervision OF the War Depart
ment or of the President. The Philippines
enjoy the benefits of a governor who has
come to understand the people and their
requirements and limitations, who has in
a large degree earned their confidence and
who, furthermore. has the respect and con-
fdence of his own people

Fourth of July Warning.

From the Philadelphia Times.
AS the Fourth of July approaches the
small boy is laying his plans to celebrate
the day. To quell the pent-up enthusiasm
of Young America on Independence day Is
hopeless task either by law or moral
suasion 1t is there and it has got to come
out once a year. That there will be many
accidents to person and some to property
is foregone conclusion, but it is proper
that all possible safeguards should be en-
ployed.- A necessary precaution along this
line is that concerning fireworks which are
made of dangerous and particularly expIo-
sive mixtures. There is state law against
the manufacture and sale of these crack
ers and torpedoes, and the traffic ought to
be stopped.

has held the commission of that party In
Congress, and sat as a democrat at the
cabinet table during Mr.. Cleveland's Sec
ond administration AS a southern man,
therefore, democrat, conspicuous and re-
spected In our public life, and familiar by
reading and experience with the country 8
history, aims and opportunities, he is enti-
tied to hearing.
We in Mr.. Herberts case the results
of travel and observation upon a man who
keeps his eyes open and cultivates the
spirit of national pride. His official duties
have taken him much from home. and this
has enlarged his horizon. No less an Ala
bsmian in his interest in the state than
when he spent his whole time there, he Is
much more of an American after his ser
vice in national office. He sees matters
more clearly in their larger relation, and
he wants his section to rise with other
sections to it's full duty toward itself and
the country in general. No less a believer
in government by parties than at an earlier
day, his years have taught him that one
own party may not always be right, OF the
opposition party always wrong. and that
the yellow dog partisan-whose boast 1t Is
that he would support a yellow dog II
nominated for office by his party-fs either
a man of extravagant speech, or one little
to be relied upon 10 serve his state we'll
Mr.. Herbert accepts the fruits Of the
Spanish war and the decisions Of the Su-
preme Court with respect to our insular
possessions. He believes in the ability Of
the country to meet all of its new obliga-
tions. and he deprecates any movement
tending longer to array the south against
a national duty simply because the repub
lican party is advocating that duty.

A Desperate EndeavOr.

Some men there be who seem to find
Much favor in the public mind,
Because they noisiiy deny
All that we learned in years gone by.
And even they who disbelieve
With interest his words receive,
And fashion murmurs that he shall
Be known as an original.
SO here I say, the sun do move
And that the earth is fiat. by Jove!
In hopes that some may bleat my name
And let my folly pass for fame.

his presence in every way. No member of
a very capable Senate Is more capable than
he. And for the leading chairmanships
there are men Of an excellent order. Some
Of them have grown gray in the chamber,
and all of them by their performances there
have achieved national distinction. If they
are not qualified for the tasks to be set be-
fore them, where may such men be found!
With all of these men the President has
discussed public measures. He has given
them his confidence and invited theirs. The
welfare of both the country and the party
has been thoroughly considered by them.
Could more care be taken to insure har-
mony and good results? Ought they not In
a large measure to follow? Need the coun-
try. for the present at least, sit up o'nights
waiting for that scrap and catastrophe
which the croakers are predicting?
1t would be idle to deny that there are
divisions In the republican party on the
tariff question. and that they are likely to
show themselves before the session Is very
far advanced. But on all other questions
there Is substantial agreement Within the
ranks. and even on that the differences
are not such as preclude the likelihood of
adjustment. AS the full responsibility is
with the republicans. and so much depends
on what they do, it is good for the country
to remember that they are well led and in
fighting form.
