Bismarck daily tribune., 1902-12-29

The misconception that The Hague
court is a body of international jurists
that assemble at The Hague whenever
called on is so rife. says the Pioneer
Press, that it may be timely to repeat
how the court is not a tribunal but con-
sists of a large number of men 'of ac-
know1edged skill on questions OF inter
national law, possessing the highest
moral reputation and willing to accept
the office of arbitrators" when called
on. Each of the signatory powers has
appointed four members of this court.
The tribunal in any particular case, in
the absence of any special agreement
to the contrary, consists Of five arbi-
traitors, chosen from among the mem
bers of the coulF two being named by
each party to the dispute and the four
so named choosing the fifth. If they
fail to agree on the fifth member he is
to be chosen by a power agreed upon
Or if no such agreement can be reached,
by two powers agreed on. just how
the tribunal to consider the Venezll-
elan case will be selected will not be
known until the terms of the protocol
are made public The Hague treaty
Intentionally gives a very wide lathtudt
so far as the constitution of the tri
bunal is concerned. Its trainers wee
seeking ito make arbitration agreement;
easy. and therefore did not impose an.
more restrictions than were necessary

AN ANSWER AT LAST.
Should BE Done with the Phil
ippine Islands.

At last, after years of begging the
anti-expansionists to tell us what they
would do with the Philippines, we have
Money, of Mississippi, who, when
asked in congress what he would do
with the islands, replied: "Let them
go to the devil"
1t will be observed that there is no
hypocrisy about that reply. There is
no pretense that the Filipinos are fit
for self-government, that they are a
nation of enlightened love of liberty
and independence is leading them to
martyrdom by scores and hundreds at
the hands of the brutal and despotic
American government.
On the contrary, Senator Money APP
pears to understand the tendency and
destination of that people if left to
themselves. The only explanation of
his remark is that he regards. them as
what they really are, semi-barbar-
Gus, semi-childish race, with a veneer
of civilization over small percentage
of the number, beneath which exist
all the passions and dispositions of an
inferior people but a short distance
removed from primitive savagery,
while the great body of the people are
still in the crudest and simplest stages
of development from that condition.
Left to themselves, such race
would certainly fulfill Senator Moneys
prophesy; but retained under the re-
straint of American control it will
slowly be lifted upward towards bet
ter conditions and nobler principles,
though the while acquiring some of
/. the weaknesses and vices of the
| stronger race.
| 1t would be interesting, if it were
not for the inevitable shock to human
| ity it would occasion, could the Fill
pinos be left to themselves for about
| one year. At the end of that time it
would be found that large proper
ton of the people would have gone or
been sent to the parsonage named by
Senator Money. Why, Aguinaldo
would not dare go about among his
own fellow countrymen for fear of as
sassination if he We're set at liberty to-
morrow. When he was in the saddle
he gave the world specimen of what
Filipino self-government would be. A
bloody-minded and bloody-handed
tyrant, he was guilty of having his sec
ond officer in command among the in
surgents assassinated on his own door
step. A reign of terror prevailed
among all natives who. through de-
sire for peace or fear for their own
security, accepted the authority of the
American government. Hundreds if
not thousands of natives have been
boloed or buried alive or otherwise
tortured and killed for refusing to
take part with the insurgent factor.
To grant independence to such a
people, with their hundreds of thou
sands of innocent women and children,
would be like turning herds of lions
and wolves and tigers in with flocks of
sheep and deer and expect them to live
together in harmony and peace.

WRONG IN APPLICATION.
Democratic Resolutions Which
Should Be Applied to Southern
Conditions.

In resolutions adopted by the dem
ocratic congressional caucus appears
the following: I'VE shall insist upon
the sacred force of the fundamental
rule of Democratic self-government'
Southern members voted for this as
freely as northern. 1t was meant to
apply to the Philippines and not
to the south. The most powerful APP
plication, however, is to the south,
where large proportion of voters
are diSenfranchised. Such declara-
ton means nothing unless it is gen
eral in its use. The republican adj
ministration is giving the Philippines
local self government as rapidly as
possible. A reading of the resolu-
lions convinces one that the demo-
cratic congressman have accepted the
supreme court decision that the is
lands are territory of the United
States. This being the case, the
thing for the democrats to do is not
to pass meaningless resolutions, but
to assist in preparing the Filipinos
for self-government. President Roose-
velt covers this subject fully and
shows that self-government is being
rapidly given the various parts of the
islands. 1T must be remembered that
some of the districts are still trav-
ersed by marauding bands and that
peaceful inhabitants stand in need
of military protection.
1t is, however, worth something to
note that the ohop6cpp,a, ~ Tho
Philippines has been given up by the
democrats and that they have reached
point where they, too, can regard
the Philippines as part of the
United States.

PARTISAN INSINCERITY.
How Senator Hanna Exposed the
Poltroon Methods of ID Democratic
Opponents.

Senator Hanna cleverly exposed the
insincerity of the partisan opposition
to the ship subsidy bill when, just be-
fore the vote was taken on the passage
of the measure, he offered amend
ments to it whose effect was to remove
those possibilities which democratic
members had declared to be pernicious
and against which they had directed
the main force of their antagonism,
says the Albany Journal.
Democrat sena tors who had spoken
against the bill had never tired of as
sorting that foreign-built ships would
be likely to receive goodly share of
the money which it was proposed to
appropriate to give material aid to the
work of reconstructing the United
States merchant marine. So Senator
Hanna offered amendments providing
that no foreign-built ship shall receive
part of the subsidy unless it is ex-
pressly stipulated in the bill that it
shall, and, further, that hereafter no
foreign-built ship shall be admitted to
American registry.
Then the democrats voted against
the amendments which removed the
ground of the objections of which they
had made SO much.
The bulk of the opposition to the bill
comes from those who would oppose
any proposition coming from the re-
publican side, regardless of its nature.
Included in this general opposition is
the specific opposition of those demo-
Gratis who are opposed to any and all
measures for the protection and pro-
motion of American industries, whose
antagonism to the proposition to give
material aid to American shipowners
is of piece with their antagonism to
tariff protection for American indus
| tries.
| The urgent reasons for the enact
ment of the ship subsidy bill into law
have been so often stated in these
columns that it would be superfuous
| to recount them. The action of the
| United States senate shows that the
| soundnesS of those reasons is recog-
nized by men who have given the sub
| ject thorough study. Hundreds of mil
lions have been spent and other hum
dreds of millions will be spent for the
construction of warships, in order that
this country may be well equipped to
defend itself against hostile agrees
sion and to protect it's interests in all
parts of the world, and no strong OPP
position to such expenditure has been
| encountered. 1t is manifestly grossly
inconsistent to oppose the expenditure
of few millions annually for the pur-
pose of encouraging. the construction
| of ships of peace, in order that the
United States may become at last we'll
equipped to protect itself against for
eign trade aggression and to promote
| its commerce in all parts of the
world.
1t is now the duty of the house of
| Representatives to complete the carry
| ing out of this part of the declared
policy of the republican party by
passing the shipping bill which has
| just received the Endorsement of the
senate and has long had the indorse-
ment of. all Americans who want to
see their country become as great in
peace in every respect as il has proved
| itself to be in war.

Our Work In the Philippines

We have already done a good deal
for the Philippines. We have estab-
lished supreme and lower courts and &
police and constabulary force of 5000;
we have increased the receipts and de-
creased the expenditures; we have en-
rolled 100000 children in the public
schools; we have set to work 1000
American and nearly 1000 native
school-teachers; we have established
agricultural and Industrial schools;
we have night school in Manila whose
enrolment has reached $4,000; we are
building roads there, one of them to
cost $l,0OO,OO0; we are improving Ma
mia harbor at an expense of $1,000
700; we are buying the 4O3 900 acres of
land owned by the friars and reselling
it to the people on easy terms; we have
nearly 100000 in the island treas
ury to help meet the OUTLAWS for i'm
provements. We have 100000 acres
OF most valuable timber land in the
world. Some day we shall think we
made as good a bargain when we paid
$2o,ooo,o0o for the Philippines as when
we bought Alaska for $1,000, 600.

PRESERVED IT'S HONOR.
Pledges Made to Cuba Have Been
Faithfully Kept by the United
states,

The United States will formally re-
linquish control in Cuba and turn over
the affairs of the island to the new re-
public which will be installed May 20,
at which time President Palma is to be
inaugurated. This will close the chap
ter in history which records what our
country has done for its neighbor. The
chapter is one which reflects the high
est honor upon the United States.
President-elect Palma himself has said
it in statement made lately in WASH
ington:
THE government of the United States
has shown most beautiful example of
good faith in dealing with weak govern
ment which 1t undertook to rescue from
its oppressors. 1t has demonstrated It's
generosity and patriotism, and by the she'd
ding of its own blood has helped Cuba TO
break the chain which united it with Spain.
Some countries would have sought some
preteXt for selfish gain in undertaking a
work of this character, and taken advan-
tage of some technicaity for their own
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but the contrary spirit
has been manifested by the United States,
and 1t has given to the world an evidence
of good will seldom found. The people of
the United States have remembered their
oMli oeSiai dtioi VI independence, ana nave
fulfilled DUTY to mankind"
President-elect Palma's grateful and
graceful tribute is one to be put on
record and remembered, says the Troy
Times. 1t might be we'll to read it oc-
casionally to those unpatriotic fault
finders who seem determined, in de-
tiance of all the facts, to prove the
United States untrue to its pledges to
Cuba. Those pledges have been kept
thus far with Il faithfulness unsur-
passed in the experience of nations.
The United States can start the new
Cuban republic proudly conscious that
it has shown magnanimity without a
parallel and that its honor is without
a stain.

EThe democrats in congress-at
least if the democratic members of
the senate Philippines committee cor
rectly represent them-are going to
indorse ''the policy of scuttle" in the
far east. These members of the COM
mittee have prepared substitute for
the Philippine government bill which
proposes to relinquish United States
sovereignty over the islands. But it
is good deal of bunco sche1te. IT
sets no time for such REIMBURSEMENT.
and it does specify conditions which
it is probably impossible for the ma
