that the whole structure of civil govern
ment was honeyccmbed with treachery
and deceit and served both the Americans
and the insurgents, the former worthless
The same insurgents testify that paciflca-
tion did not become real until the mill
tary, refusing longer to be- imposed upon
by native duplicity, proceeded to take
those severe measures which in a short
space OF time stamped out secret opposi-
physical resistance.
=, Major General Lloyd Wheaton, who ar
rived in San Francisco the other day
after more than three years service in
the islands, In making an official report
Of the conditions Of Tayabas province at
the very time when Gardener was COM
planning, says that the conditions in
Tayabas were as bad as in any province
In Luzon, and that the civil governor,
Gardener, had either been deceived or had
not informed himself of the conditions
throughout his province. 1t Is more
charitable to assume that he was de-
ceived, and he is not the only civil officer
who has been deceived in the Philippines
General Wheaton says that the principal
and most important duty of the civil
police was to give the insurgents correct
information of the movements Of the
American troops and the latter incorrect
information concerning the movements OF
the former. ~ = s:se.-.-.S. >

GOVERNMENT FOR FIL1PINOs

:; The house yesterday passed the Philip
pine government bill reported by the COM
mittee with little change. AS has been
shown in these columns, this measure
differs in some serious respects from the
senate bill and Ut may not be so easy for
the conferees to get together and adopt a
form of government adapted to the situa :
tion. a.. -. .s. .....,.... .s
The house bill proposes to give the FIJI
ipinos qualified suffrage and grad
ual growth in popular govern
h1ent, based on :. education In
the English language and American IN
stttutions, with local legislature Of. two
houses, one appointive and the other
elective It proposes to put. this govern
ment in operation at the earliest moment
after the islands are completely pacihed,
and 1t deals more directly and favorably
than the senate bill in the mat ter of Fill
pino citizenship. Both house and senate
bills contain ample provisions under care
full restrictions for the granting Of fran
chises,> sale of public lands, etc, and
special provision is made for the issue of
bonds by the insuAar BovexnxnentSt buy
Eup the lands and other property OF the
friars Of the religious orders and sell
them to the present occupiers and those
who wish to occupy such lands. Governor
Taft has just satisfact orily arranged with
the vatican for this transfer of realty,
which embodies more than half a million
acres The bonds to he issued will be
gold bonds drawing 5 per cent, according
to the house bill, and Az per cent accord
ing to the senate bill.
. A very important difference in the pro-
Visions Of the two bills is that the senate
bill proposes to set up the single silver
standard in the archipelago and start the
Manila and San Francisco mints coming
a special Filipino silver dollar which is
to circulate at its bullion value, although
stamped dollar and worth about 43
to rs cents The house bill proposes to
issue silver pesos for currency, with sub
divisions, the pesos to be based upon the
United States monetary standard Of 25.8
grains Of gold to the dollar, or its equiva-
lent The senate bill proposes unlimited
free silver coinage Under 1t. contracts

OTHEHs PEOPLES NOTIONS
A%.yoiee From Nebraska.

-
To the Editor of The Journal. =.
Il notice your comments on the reciprocity
resolutions of the republican state convention
of Nebraska. Asa member of that convention,
wish to- states that those resolutions were
run through the convention at very late
hour in the night after large part of the
representative delegates had retired to rest
by set Of lingo pie counter" politicians,
who no more: repre- sent the intelligence and
sentiments Of Nebraska republicans than the
riff-raF and suffers that hang around an
army represent the army. II :.
1t has ever been the claim of the republ-
can party that a tariff should be maintained
to protect Our. Industries.
About the only industry the west has tried
to build up which would be of general bene-
fit to all it's people, is the sugar beet indus.
try. Everyone knows that so far it has had
hard, struggle, TO- exist. and if there is an
industry in the country that needs protection
THAT one is the sugar beet industry. =
Last fall when our beet sugar was coming
on. the market, the New York sugar trust
delivered sugar at Missouri river points one
and one-half 11s) cents cheaper than they
sold it in New York city, for the purpose OF
destroying the beet industry: but that did
not deter the westsfrom going ahead and pro-
;jecting new factories, so the trust must re-
sort to other means or the west would soon
be raising all its own sugar and the. trust
would lose control of its best paying vic
tim. ss
B Now you propose to give the trust a club
in free raw sugar to pound the life out 'of
the beet industrYas That is all there is. to 1T.
and no honest man Of intelligence will claim
anything. else. The frantic appeals; for free
raw sugar from Cuba, by some so-called re
publican papers seems to show that Genera,
Woods agent knew where to place that cor.
ruption fund where it would do the most
good Why is it, that the same papers do not
say word about taking off the duty Of sugar
from the Philippine islands and give our own
possessions chance to advance its industries
Surely they are entitled to our assistance as
much as Cuba; but. then free sugar from the
Philippines would not benefit the New York
trust NJ ~
Personally, am not, and never have been,
interested dollar in the beet sugar in
dustry but have watched with pride this
new budding industry in our. state, and
ahink voice the sentiments Of every progress
i've intelligent republican in Nebraska that
we will not support or tolerate any party or
;n3en that will put in the hands Of that New
York sugar trust the power to crush our in
FAINT industry. 7-s~. a:.1,---

MICHIGAN AS A MODEL

Persons who are speculating as to Just
how the Minnesota republican state con-
vention will manage to indorse every act
of the president and also every act OF the
delegation in congress, should read the
platform adopted by the Michigan repub
licans at Detroit yesterday. 1t resembles
the Hennepin county platform, except
that 1t carries water on both shoulders
trihe more gracefully, and little more
on one shoulder than on the other. The
Michiganders "sympathize' with Presi-
dent Roosevelt, "realize' the great prob
lens with which he has to deal and ad-
mire his ability, integrity and desire for
Justice. =, ST.. .z'
On the other hand the convention tscor-
daily approves" of the record of Mich
igan's delegation in congress on matters
pertaining to the advancement Of the
countrys welfare" and the fulfillment Of
party pledges, and appreciation" Is
noted Of the delegations Jealous and able
work in behalf OF Michigan's important
industries" ~.-s.'.. T.. -..-
On the whole the Michigan declaration
Is more favorable to the delegation than
the president for important industries
Is eumphenism for beet sugar indus
try. Moreover matters pertaining to the
advancement of the country's welfare
means opposition to reciprocity with
Cuba. Nevertheless the platform Is far
from being fat-footed and frank. 1t is
distinctly hedging platform, an attempt
to take position without sharp definf-
tion thereof. 1t is what platform should
not be-. A platform should speak without
ambiguity on all questions that it deals
with A question that, If treated Of: at
I'll, must be so handled is better omitted
Conditions in Minnesota and Michigan
with respect to reciprocity with Cuba are
similar in several ways. The delegations
in congress of both states are units
against reciprocity. Moreover as the
chairman Of the Michigan convention was
a member of the delegation, so the chair
man of the Minnesota convention will be
a member of congress. The most impor-
tant difference is that in Michigan the
beet sugar industry Is much larger than
in Minnesota, and that there is much
stronger opposition to reciprocity with
Cuba than there is in Minnesota. For all
we know to the contrary a majority ofsthe
republican party of Michigan may oppose
the president on this matter. In Mime
sofa we know that whatever the conven-
tion may do a majority supports him and
opposes the delegation.
This fact may lead to some vari-
ton he on
of the plank the delegation purposes tc
have incorporated in the Minnesota plat
form. It will, therefore, probably be a
little more 'fiapdoodley'' than the Mich
igan plank, which though it tries tc
Jolly both sides of the controversy
plainly leans towards the insurgents. The
amiable purpose of the Minnesota plank
will be to Jolly both sides and lean both
ways.

Figures for Thought.

To- the Editor Of The Journal
Attention is called by T h eFJ o u r l to
the census reports of the industrial growth
here, showing the disparity between our
major industries, -four and lumber, and other
important industries, as. being far too great,
but when it gets to that of the; manufacture
of agricultural implements, @ as * the editor
justly remarks, this industry is conspicuous
only by its absence, not being entirely absent,
but cuts a sorry figure in comparison to the
large volume of business done here in this
line According to q statement in Farm
Implements May 81, the Minneapolis i'm
plement dealers have shipped to the farmers
of the northwest in the last three months
IS, 1885, ,0S0 pounds of farm machinery. being
an increase of 11.09S562 potnds over 1901, and
1901 was an exceptionally heavy year in ship
ments. See how the trade grows does it
not strike our citizens that q larger proper
tion OF this should be made here?

There is no more doubt that Poe wrotesthe

that Poe stole the Raven from an Italian
writer refutes itself, unless we assume that
the Italian wrote his poem In English. What
purports to be an English translation of the
alleged Italian poem is obviously no transla-
tion at all. There is not the slightest trace
of Italian In It. A writer's nationality Is in
delibly stamped upon his work, and no trans-
lation can wholly obliterate it. The. matter
would not be worth noticing were it not that
