Bryanism and the Philippines.

The attitude of the minority of the Senate
committee on the Philippines as respects
those islands is substantially that taken by
Mr. Bryan in the campaign of 1900, and
upon which the country passed adversely
at the polls. We are asked to reIiuurish
ali claim to sovereignty over the archipeI
ago, and TO announce that as soon as GER
tain conditions have been complied with
by the Filipinos We will withdraw from
the scene. But We are to remain until the
Filipinos have formed for themselves a.
stable government, and until sufficient
guarantees have been obtained FOR the per-
formance Of our treaty obligations with
Spain. and for the safety of those inhabit-
ants who have adhered to the United
States
This proposition, as already stated, was
contested on the hustings in the last presi-
Dental race. The objection then advanced
still lies. The representatives of this gov
eminent. civil and military, who have in
vestigated the situation at first hand shake
their heads when asked about stable
government by the Filipinos for the Fill
pinos. They Will not say that the thing is
forever impossible, but. casting their eyes
far forward. they see many things that
seem more likely. They fatty deny that
the Fhiphos are caPaoie OF forming or
conducting stable government now They
are confident that trial of that kind would
end I'm disaster for everybody in interest
Their advice is that the United States re-
main on the ground, and, without other
promise than that held out from the be-
ginning-thar of giving the Filipinos a full
measure Of good and progressive govern
ment-establish and maintain institutions
as liberal as the territory and the -timas
will allow.
This seems to be the proper course 1t
does not commit us to remain In the Phil.
ippines forever. We may safely leave a
great deal to the future One is never

called upon to cross a bridge until one
comes to 1t. We are In the Philippines
by right of conquest; our duties are press
ing and difficult; our purposes are neither
tyrannic nor diabolical-a few Americans
to the contrary observation-disclosures the
thing to do is to assert the authority, by
force wherever necessary, of this govern
ment. Who shall say that in a few years
the whole of the Filipino people capable OF
a judgment and worthy to be heard will
not be as eager for US to remain as a few
revolutionists now are for US to leave?
And who shall say how Invaluable those
islands may be to the United States in the
days that are coming?
This is no day for proclamations Of any
kind except that the authority of theJnited
States must be respected in the Philippine
Islands as 1t is here at home Men who
are temporizing with the subject should
read very carefully that letter of the gal
liant and unfortunate Lawton, who fixes, as
1t were, from the grave the responsibility
for his lamented death. There are other
brave soldiers serving the country in the
Philippines, and Filipino guns may be
loaded in the United States for them as one
was for Lawton

On the other hand, logic or no logic, there
stands the fact that the Kansas City plat

Such is the question-strong on it's senti-
mental no less than on its practical side
with which the House democrats in caucus
will have to deal. Can they eat their cake
and have it? Can they hold on to the

Can they serve both Organism and Cleve-

Washington the Great.

From the New York Tribune.
The exhibition in Washington last week
of the plans drawn by Messrs. Burnbam
McKim and Olmsted for the Identification
of the national capital seems to have great
ly stimulated interest, both In and out OF
Congress, in the creation of an enlarged
and embellished federal city. In the new
scheme, rEnfant's original and imposing
ground plan has been worked out in an It's
beauty and simplicity, and, through the
construction of q new water front, the
projection of bridge across the Potomac
to Arlington Heights, and the extension of
the Mall to connect with the Rock Creek
Park system, an harmonious landscape and
architectural development is secured, which
covers the entire federal district. Vast as
the new plans are, they will be undoubted-
ly carried to completion within the next
twenty years, bringing Washington to the
front rank for beauty and dignity Of plan

Although the park commission devoted
itself in its work mainly to the consdera-
tion of the treatment Of the public lands in

TO establish, as far as possible, certain
principles relating to the emplacement of
the government buildings. as closely affect
ing the future landscape appearance of the

at this time, when the calls for new public

appropriateness Of preserving the dignity
OF the approaches to the government s
workshops cannot be questioned. Yet the
conditions which years of neglect have per-
mitted to develop in the immediate vicinity

public buildings OF Washington loudly en-
phasize the fact that Congress has not
sufficiently realized the truth The inne-
date outlook from the Capitol windows or
terraces is depressing, save in the direction
OF the new Library. That building serves
well at this iuncture to afford an instructive
idea of what could be done toward making
the Capitois surroundings beautiful There
is an urgent demand for q new Supreme
Court building to rest Immediately north of
the Library. When this has been provided

Mr.. Go-man-1s92 and 1904.

The election of Mr.. German to the Senate
throws the Boston Herald into reminiscent
tial mood. 1t recalls the campaign of 1892.
and upbraids hin-probably for the twen-
tieth time-for the part he played in the
bringing of the democratic campaign prom
ises of that year to naught.
Mr.. German is guilty as charged. but the
Herald withhoids the explanation which ex-
cuses him to politicians of his school of
thought and practice. He made none of
those promises himself. He accepted his
partys free trade platform of that year, as
he did its free silver platforms of 1896 and
last year, simply as matter of party regu-
larity. His faith was of the other kind.
He was a protectionist. The free traders
won at the polls, and then came the neces-
sity for Mr.. German to deal with the ques-
ton as a legislator. He dealt with it on
the lines of protection. He made a diff
ference between campaign promises and
congressional action, and worked and voted
In the Senate for what he called his prin-
ciples. IT was of no moment to him that
eight-tenths of the democratic party were
for free trade, He was for protection. and
finding himself in position to control the
situation in the Senate he did so in pro
tections interests.
And there Is precious little dinerence
between the way Mr.. German treated the
tariff question and the way Mr.. Cleveland
treated the money question. In the cam
paign of 1892 the leading advocates of silver
in soliciting votes for the democratic ma
tfonal ticket all assured their hearers that
Mr.. Cleveland If elected would do the fair
thing by silver. Mr.. Vest, Mr.. Voorhees,,
and Others, were very effective on the
stump with that assurance for the people;
and they were sincere in making it. Mr.
Cleveland at no time rebuked them for
making it. But what did he do? He made
a difference between campaign promises
and congressional action, and when the
time came for that action he forced with
the aid of the republicans the repeal Of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman act,
and left silver with not leg to stand on.
1t was of no moment to him that eight
tenths of those who had elected him Presi-
dent were in favor of free silver. He was
ter of the situation with the aid Of the re-
publicars, he acted in sound moneys inter
ests and split his party wide open.
1t may be said that the democratic party
knew that Mr. Cleveland was a sound
money man when it nominated him for
President that year. So also did it know
that Mr.. German was a protectionist at
the time it forced him to stand on a free
trade platform. And yet there are men
simple enough or waggish enough to be
talking, with that history still in mind,
about making Mr.. German, a sound money
man and protectionist, the democratic
candidate for President in 1904.

SENATOR KEARNs' MINING BILL.
Text Of the Substitute Measure Intro.
duced by Him.

A Washington press dispatch says
Senator Kearns, from the committee on
mines and mining, has reported to the
senate substitute bill for the measure
formerly introduced by him to amend
the revised statutes Of the United States
in the matter Of locating mineral claims.
The bill, as reported, is as follows.
THAT section 2322 oi the revised stat
utes is hereby amended 80 as to read rs
follows:
"SectiOn 2322 LocatOrs Of mining 10.
cations hereafter made on any mineral
vein, lode, ledge or mineral deposit, sit.
uated on the public domain containing
gold, silver, cinnabar, lead, tin, copper
or other valuable deposits. their heirs or
assigns, where no adverse claim exists
ut the passage Of this act, so long Us
they comply with the laws Of the United
States and the state and territorial regu.
lations not in conflict with the laws Of
the United States governing their pos.
sessory title, shall have the exclusive
right OF possession and enjoyment Of all
the surface included within'the lines Of
their location and Of all veins, lodes,
ledges and mineral deposits throughout
their entire depth, which lie within
such surface lines extended downward
vertically. Such location shall be in
rectangular form, and shall not exceed
1900 feet in length on either the end or
side lines thereof. Provided, that irreg.
ularly shaped claims may he located
where previous locations render rec.
tangular locations impracticable, but
such claim shall not exceed in area a
claim of 1900 feet square. Every loca.
ton hereafter made shall be distinctly
marked on the ground, 50 that the same
can be readily traced. Within ninety
days from the date OF location the loca-
tor shall cause the same to be surveyed

of the county recorder Of the county in
which the claim IL situated. No person
shall locate more than one claim in the
same mining district. Provided, that
he shall have the privilege Of filing with
the recorder of mining records in the
district notice Of abandonment Of u
claim located by him, and thereafter he
shall have the right to locate another
claim rs fully as il no location had been
made by him in said district. And the
claim 80 abandoned shall be- opened to
relocation.

vised statutes relating to tunnels b,, and
the same is, hereby repealed.

cation, il the measure becomes law, will
