The Philippines.

Secretary Taft is expecting the insular
legislature in the Philippines to open with
bombardment of resolutions in favor of
immediate independence fer the archi-
pelago. The agitators and the politicians
will improve the opportunity to go on
record" and formally declare what in pri-
waite conversation and correspondence they
have for some years been favoring.
Well of course. Men of that stamp must
liberate their enthusiasm in public, and the
council house will afford a fine field for
operations. Doubtless they have held forth
deliberately in clubs, in hotel Hobbies. in
CurbstOne debates, and in cards to news
papers. But there will be dignity about
a deliverance in the halls of legislation
which will inspire them to their best efforts
in the line of patriotic proclamation.
Stiil. as the Secretary suggests, it will
DC but the blowing off of steam. The Iegis-
laturc Will see the wisdom of addressing
Itself To practical matters; and immediate
Independence is not practical When the
members get into their stride, and real
business takes shape. the perfervid orators
with their stump speeches will have to
give way To something sober. material and
worth while.
Immediate independence is out of the
question. Even the talk Of fixing time for
the withdrawal of the Stars and Stripes
from the islands is at present so much
breath wasted All We know today is that
We are on the scene, and have a difficult
problem To solve. That We are making
progress Is the opinion of all intelligent
visitors Americans return home proud of
what has been done, while Europeans
speak IN praise OF IL. We have but begun.
THIS insular legislature has been called as
much TO familiarize the FiIipinos with
their own affairs TO get further sugges-
lions for our own use
Our experience in Cuba has taught us
nuch' and among other things the neces-
SHY OF looking well to our path as trustee
while We are advancing. We withdrew
from there too. soon. although il seemed at
the time safe and wise to do SO. As q re-

not able to develop worthy republican sue
cessor.
Let us give Mr.. Bryan credit for sincerity
in this matter. But has he never heard of
what befell Mr.. Cleveland? The Sage of
Princeton held at first that one term in the
White House was enough for any man. But
that was before he had entered the portals
of that wonderful castle. Once inside there,
a man is liable to many temptations. MI.
Cleveland encountered them, and surren-
dered to them. He gladly accepted a sec
ond nomination, and schemed for third.
1t is not risky to say that had he not
wrecked his party he would have tried for
fourth nomination and third term In 1896.
But by that time. thanks to Mr.. Cleveland.
the party was in state OF chaos. and.
finding 1t laboring under brainstorm. MI
Bryan took possession
Now this same thing might happen to
Mr.. Bryan. Once in office. he would be
surrounded, as Mr.. Cleveland was, by
ardent supporters and admirers. who
would scheme for his denomination. They
would first persuade themselves that he
should hold on to the helm. and then they
would set about to persuade him. 1t
would not be difficult work. All men like
to be praised by their friends, and praise,
shrewdly bestowed, sometimes accom-
plishes wonders. 1t is a hundred to one
that Mr.. Bryan would surrender, as MI.
Cleveland did, and put himself unreserved-
ly into the hands Of his friends.
But take the case as 1t now stands. Is
it not a reflection on Mr.. Bryan that he
has reduced the democratic party that
after twelve years Of his leadership it is
as badly divided now as when he first took
hold? He is the only pebble on the beach.
He is the democratic party. The So
called party of the people has become the
political asset of one person.
Mr.. Bryan is playing politics with this
question. He is anxious to draw support
with the assurance that one term will
satisfy him. But it would not. Put him
in the White House by the vote of next
year, and within thirty days after his
inauguration a Bryan league, with his re-
nomination for it's object, will be in ex-
istence, and busy in his behalf. He is
very human on the side of power and
praise. He has had a good deal of the
latter, and the more he might get of the
former the better he would like it.

Good News.
Says the weather man:

Monday will be decidedly warmer
maybe too warm for comfort. Tomorrow
and Sunday will be nice days. The changed
conditions are coming from the west
whence we get all our weather. Down in
Texas the temperature is above 90 and
a similar condition prevails in Kansas and
Nebraska"
The weather man need not worry about
the public comfort. The public has shiv-
cred too long during the spring and summer
to be frightened by the prospect Of q little
heat All 1t asks is a sdrcease Of rain and
chill and the advent of some genuine sum-
mer weather. Thus far this season its only
dose of real heat came in-March, and it
was succeeded promptly by a cold snap
that turned all noses blue and gave the
hard times croakers a full swing in their
pessimism.
Too warm for comfort? Never fear
The straw hat and the flannel suit will
skip forth gaily and the excursion pro-
moters and resort proprietors will rejoice
and be exceeding glad. The soda foun-
tain owners will forget their woes and the
swimmers will count the. moth holes in

Trannps.
From the New York Tribune.


While reformers assailing the free
pass system with frenzied oratory, 1t might
be we'll to note that the worst part of this
evil has been left untouched by legislators.
Free passes issued to influential citizens by
designing railroads have doubtless fostered
abuses. but whatever benefits the railroads
have derived from these passes have been
more than counterbalanced by the hundreds
of thousands of involuntarily issued passes
upon which an uncounted host of 'hoboes'
are constantly travelling. At recent ses-
sion of the national conference of charities
and correction in Minneapolis Mr.. Orlando
F. Lewis of this city gave some interesting
facts about the volume of tramp transpor-
tation in the United States. One gets a
dim idea of the size of the army of un-
invited deadheads from the 5000 and odd
tramps who are killed or injured annually
by getting in the path of moving trains.
A wild guess at the number of Migrants
ursmitten by carwheels and cowcatchers
might run high quarter of a million.
But nobody knows how far wrong this esti-
mate is.
