Report on Revision of the Greed as
to Secret Orders.

submitted to the convention tomorrow. Ii
follows:
After carefully considering the matter
submitted To US by the last General Assem-
bly,, your committee would respectfully re-
port: 1t does not appear that there exists
in the church such demand for a change
in. our testimony against secret societies as
would Justify the sending down in overture
the article under consideration. Ii does.
however, appear that the rule is variously
construed and that there are differences or
administration. Uniformity In this particu-
lar has been rendered more difficult by the
multiplication of various secret orders with
a great diversity OF objects in view Some
sessions have construed the law as manda-
tory, and consequently requiring the ex-
cluson OF members OF secret orders or
every kind from membership OF the church.

may seek TO promote or the spirit or attl-
tude of the applicant for membership in
the church. Others have regarded the law
as advisory I'm character. and not necessar-
.ly excluding membership from some soci-
cites In some cases sessions have recog-
nized the principle that there may be ex-
Ceptions TO all rules, and have used discre-
ton in individual cases; while others have
not felt free TO exercise any discretion.
1--WE recommend the following for your
adoption:
Resolved. That while the fifteenth ar
ticle of our testimony defines In a manner
sufficiently explicit The general law Of our
church on the subject OF secretlsm, sessions
possess and are expected 10 exercise a wise
discretion in the administration Of the law,
dealing with such cases a. may arise upon
their merits and in such way as may best
promote Gods glory and the peace and
prosperity of the church.

mitted to candidates for admission TO the

CIVIL GOVERNMENT IN PORTO RICO.

The report of Governor Allen. Of Porto
Rico, which has been sent TO the President,
is interesting for various reasons. Porto
Rico was the first of our new island pos
sessions to come under American civil gov
eminent, and Governor Aliens report is the
first one of the kind that has been sub
mitted. The law providing a civil govern
ment for Porto Rico was passed by Con-
gress April II, 1900, and signed by the Presi-
dent the next day. 1t provides for the APP
pointment, by the President, of a Governor,
with the powers usually given TO "a terri
torial Governor, and also of secretary,
attorney general, treasurer. auditor, COM
missioner of the interior and commissioner
of education. These, with five other per
sons, native inhabitants of Porto hico,
constitute an executive council having
legislative powers. forming one of the two
houses that constitute the Legislative AS
sembly. The other branch, called the House
of Delegates, is composed of thirty-five
members elected biennially by the people.
This form of government has been in oper-
alton about a year. but is subject TO change
by Congress. Governor Allen was appointed
for four years. He is man of decided
ability, of large experience in public af-
fairs. and his statements can be relied on.
1t is gratifying to learn that the present
government is working successfully and
beneficially. but Governor Allen evidently
does not think the Porto Ricans are ready
yet for territorial government, as the term
is understood in this country He says:
L feel. as the result of a years close study
on the spot of all the conditions surround
ing the problem, that Congress went quite
as far as il sa fely could venture in the form
of government already existing ON the
island. AS the result of such experience and
observation, fully believe. with good men
devoted to the work, the island will devel-
op faster under such form. Its people,
through experience and education, will adj
vance more rapidly in their knowledge of
civic virtues under the guidance of present
methods than they could in any other
way.
Unless the present form of government is
to be continued the Governor thinks a
scheme of colonial government, such as pre-
walls in the Danish and British West Indies
should be adopted. with such improvements
as American experience would suggest. 1t
would seem. however, that the present form
of government had better be continued until
the Porto Ricans better schooled and
trained in the methods of self-government
There is nothing in his report to indicate
that the Porto Ricans are dissatisfied with
it. His suggestion that the island needs an
introduction of fresh blood and Anglo
Saxon push and energy TO lift it out of its
lethargy and start 1t on the way to high
prosperity is doubtless correct, and prob
immigration.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

The death of General Fitz John Porter
recalls one of the greatest personal in
justices of the war of the rebellion. At the
time of his court-martial General Porter
was, probably, by all odds the ablest gen.
eral in the Army of the Potomac. 1t is
claimed that he furnished General McClel-
Ian the brains and fighting vigor during
the change of base OF the Peninsula cam
paign, In June, 1862 Yet he was one of Nc
Clellans partisans, and to this fact he owed
his misfortune. The arrogant attitude of
Mcclellan toward MIR. Lincoln is a part of
the history of that period. General McClel
Ian had as good as snubbed the President
on more occasions than one, and had sent
him a message from Harrisons landing
upon which he might have been cashiered,
and would have been at later period in
the war General McClellans mind seemed
to be filled with the delusion that he had
bene ordained to bring the North and South
together by some means which would leave
Mr. Lincoln a nonentity. General Pope rep
resented the element hostile to Mcclellan.
Some of his remarks were needlessly Of
was due to the fact that he did not compre-
bend the situation. General Porter or
dered TO join Pope 1t was charged that he
did not act promptly. General Grant, in an
article in the North American Review, for
December. 1852. entitled. An Undeserved
Stigma" shows that Porter acted with dis
cretion because the order given him was
one that could not have been executed.
Another charge was that Porter did not
attack Johnson's flank when ordered 20 do
so. The maps used at the court-martial
showed that he could have done so, but
later maps show that If Porter had made
such an attack his army would have
marched along the front of Longstreets
much larger army and been annihilated.
Porter knew of the position of Longstreet.

treaty 1t may be assumed that II Is entirely
right for the United States TO do so. Gen.
Foster says that changed conditions are
always sufficient cause to abrogate a
treaty. Since 1850 all of the conditions in
this country have changed. In the address
in which he made this statement he also
declared that maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine demands that this treaty be abro~
gated He further declared that Great
Britain cannot complain if we abrogate the
treaty. These emphatic declarations Of so
learned a diplomat will tend TO change the
opinions of those who have been led TO
believe that treaties cannot be abrogated
BY one party by simply giving notice.

Ex-Secretary John G.. Carlisle was un-
able TO preside over mass meeting in
New York for the organization of the
Reform Democracy, but he sent a letter
expressing strong sympathy with the
movement and giving some good advice
regarding it, Following is an extract from
his letter:
There are three and half million people
here, with their homes. business, schools
charitable institutions, social interests, all
dependent mainly upon the municipal au-
thOrities for protection. and ii is no exag-
geration TO say that. taking all things into
consideration, the administration OF the
national government is of less Importance
to the citizens OF New York than the ad-
ministration of the local government
The significance of this is the Importance
IL attaches to local government 1t has
taken the American people a long time 10
discover that political reform and good
government begin at home, and that in a
very practical sense good administration
is even more important in local govern
ment than in national. There is only one
Greater New York in the country with its
three and half millions of people. but the
local government Of every city in the land
Is as important to its people as that of the
metropolis. There are some indications
that reform in municipal government is
going to become a prominent feature of
politics in the near future.
