the same thing if we We're in Britain's
place. We should not like to see any
solemn treaty contemptuously disre-
sarded by the other party to the conf
pact.
We ought to do toward Great Britain
exactly as we would have her do to-,
ward us. 1t will require only few
weeks or a few months at the furthest
to secure the formal and unqualified
assent of the London foreign office.
For the sake of peace and friendship,
and the maintenance of a correct atti-
Jude before the nations. we can afford
to postpone for a few weeks or months
the actual beginning of canal construc-
ton. The action which the republican
majority of the foreign relations COM
mlttee has taken is sensible, sound and
patriotic.
The republican leaders need not be
disturbed at any democratic accusation
of ''subservience" to British interests.
Such charge against republicans is so
ludicrous that the very men who make
it can hardly keep their countenances
straight The political party which
maintains the protective tariff is not
subsevient to British interests nor is
the political party which is determined
to protect and strengthen the American
merchant marine. Great Britain now
controls twO-thirds to three -fourths of
our ocean carrying. She draws from us
an immense national revenue. A large
proportion of her vast sea power is de-
pendent on her monopoly of our At
lantlc carrying trade. All this will be
lost il an American merchant marine
is created. Great Britain knows it, She
knows that the party which upholds
the American merchant shin is not sub
servient to her interests. but is the very
reverse. and she knows. too, that the
political party, many of whose senators
ana representatives are Obstructing the
republican effort to rehahlitate our
merchant marine. is subservient to her
interests, and is doing its utmost to
support her in her proud position of
mistress of the seas.
1t IS an odd fact. but undeniahle,
that democratic hostility to Great Brit
ain is invariably confined to fiery
speeches and eNasperating resolutions,
ana that when it comes to actual work
the democratic majority in congress,
ne the matter an issue in tariff OF the
fisheries, or shipping, acts regularly
just as It would if it We're Deliberately
determined to keep America weak and
brtaln strong.-Boston Journal

to continue the Australian method of
voting, AL infractions of that system
should be done away with To permit
marked ballots to be taken into polling
booths is in violation of THE principles
of the system and should no more have
a place in the law than the present mod
ification by which a circle is placed at
the top. When the various tickets were
permitted to be placed in separate col
umns, each with a circle on top. voting

back to its original form. 1t would then

1t would be manifestly unjust to Il
litigant to compel him to have an action
tried by judge who is so prejudiced as
to prevent fair trial. There is nothing;
There must be prejudice to the extent
stated. and this must be atfirmatively
shown by aftidavits. What judge who
has respect for that great science. the
law. would object to that?
The other disqualitications are such
that no argument apparent to as can
tie made against them. 1t would be man
itestly unfair to permit a judge who
might be related to one of the parties
to try the case. as it would be when the
judge had been the attorney for one OF
the parties in the ease at issue.
We repeat that if there is anything
wrong with the bill it is time to stop

THE PROTECTION OF LITIGANTS

The most remarkable thing connected
with senate bill 81, is the acrimonious
discussion engaged in by those oppos-
ing the measure and the very evident
attempt made to delay action with re-
gard to it. We do not observe any
strenuous opposition to it in the press.
he opponents of the bill in the iegisla
ture, although apparently in the minori-
ty, are quite determined and have al
ready succeeded in causing some delay.
1t is to be hoped that before final action
is taken these gentlemen will point out
just what it is in the bill that is in
famous and what makes it "a disgrace
on the senate.
On the face of it. senate bin s. seems

CONDITIONS IN TIE PHILIPPINES

Dr. George r. Becker, who has recent

to whom reference was made by the IN

dress last weak before the American
Geoeraphical society at New York. His
conclusions. the result of many months
Of traNal ana study in the Philippines

are not less interesting than important.
For instance, he said that upwards Of
siNty distinct languages ate spoken in
the islands. taking no account Of the "a
rious dialects. Almost every stage Of
civilization Is found there. and some ri
tile PAGAN tribes Still practice canni-
lalisn. Til Christian communities con-
tain all that can be called civilized. Hos
till feelings between many tribes are ma
tural and apparent. The inter-tribal r.
latiDns existing in some Of the islands
are similar to those formerly existing
between the tribes Of North American
Indians. Practically the only native Ii
terature consists Of religious tracts and
catechsms. Education in Spanish out

courag ed. Even r. Agunaldo speaks

! selves, Dr. Becker said, war among the
tribes would be inevitable and would he
carried on indefinitely. The instruction
in the Philippines was begun by the ma
tves without justification. 1t has la -
ed longer than many people thought
possible, partly because of the influence
of the anti-imperiaists in the United
! States, DR.. Becker said. Natives frank
ly told Dr. Becker eighteen months ago
that they intended to hold out until aft
/, err the presidential election in the Unit
ed States. No war, the speaker declared,
has ever beeen waged SO humanely as
the war in the Philippines has been car
red on by the American army. The
fact will be acknowledged by many Fill
| pinos when the insurrection is ended
and there will be fewer wounds to be
healed in consequence. Officers in the
service of the United States have &C.
quilted themselves with bravery. tac
and sound judgment. They have showr
the value of their training, and have
kept the flag clean.
Yesterdays dispatches from Bulucal
province show what splendid progress
is now being, and the feeling of the ma
tives there toward the representatives o
this government shows that Dr. Becker
compliment to our soldiers is merited.
