In Behalf of the National Conscience. Senator Proctor appealed to the Senate yesterday not only for justice to Porto Rico, but for the maintenance of national honor in the eyes of the republic itse!f. He spoke both for the good of the islanders and the conscience of the mainlanders. He urged that all the fair words which have been previously uttered be not changed into syl- lables of scorn by a turning in the path of “plain duty.”” His speech is one of the notable features of a memorable debate. It sounds to the Senate and the country with the greater forte because it fs founded upon a decision. frankly announced, to ‘vote against the bil! in its present form, to give practical force to the uttered sentiments. In this Senator Proctor stands before the country In a Much better Hight than does Senator Bev- eridge, whose eloquent phrases were sound- ed but the day before. On the face of their speeches the two men are on the same plane of protest against an iniquitous mistake. In effect, however, the young Indiantan's words were as water poured upon the sands, while there is substance and force in those of the Vermonter. Mr. Beveridge lost all he might have gained by his emphatic dec- lamation by announcing that he was wil- ling to support the bill. Mr. Proctor gives earnest of his convictions by declaring that, party pressure notwithstanding, he will carry his words into acts and vote as his conscience dictates, not as the steering committee commands. Mr. Proctor has never aspired to the rep- utation of an erator. His words are sim- ple, his syntax clear, his manner dramatic only in the force of an intense earnestness and honesty. Yet there is something inspir- ing in the spectacle of a man whose life has been devoted to the support of republican principles standing forth in defiance of par- tisan dictation and pleading for good faith, for national honor, for righteousness. And it is the more urgent in its plea because it addresses itself to the fear that this breach in the government's good faith will weaken the public conselence. Nothing can be more suecinet or more convincing than this state- nt of Senator Proctor’s doctrine, with ch he closed yesterday's powerful ap- plea of harmony in the party ap- » me strongly. But this ts a question higher than party or polley; it is a question of principle, and it is better that even a small minority of the party should be right It is of an that we should all be wrong. tal consequence, Mr. President, as to > judgment and con- of the American people.” oe American people and the States army specific: may con- gtatulate themselves on the verdict ren- dered by press of the United States in the case of Personal Prejudice vs. the Ad- jutant General of the Army. It would have been a very serious thing for our entire litary organization If those persons who disinterred an ancient, malicious and dis- proved charge of cowardice against G Corbin had succeeded in giving to the re- mains any semblance of life; serious, be- cause the executive officer of the Secretary War—no matter what his personality— uld be above and beyond reproach. A stigma whieh could fairly be fastened upon so important an officer would necessarily affect the standing and morale of the en- tire army. The charges which were pre- ferred have been carefully investigated for the second time; not, as they were in the first instance, when the atmosphere was overcharged with the spirit of war, but in time of comparative peace, when judicial minds could carefully consider every phase of the accusations without the presence of distracting influences. The verdict is unanimous. Not even the most ardent supporters of those who re- vived the history of the court-martial, con- cluded more than a third of a century ago, have been able to overthrow the conclu- sions of that court. More than that, they have not even succeeded in interesting the public for more than an hour or two. As the result of their activity the adjutant himself caused to be prepared a statement of the charges, the causes which led to them, the findings of the court and an extremely interesting ag- gregation of testimony which wholly creditable to him and to the organization ef which he Is so conspicuous a part.

In the house of commons in London yes- terday the debate turned upon the recent disorders in China, and fears were ex- Pressed lest grave troubles ensue through the native restlessness. Some complimen- tary references to the American “open door” achievement were sounded, and the liberals displayed a disposition to. criticise the British policy in Chir weak. There can be no que reasonableness of the fez of China in certain provin are fanatical in their hatred and are so loosely as being too jon as to the # for the peace The natives of foreigners governed that protests to Pekin produce no results whatever. Herein Hes one of the gravest dangers to the integrity of the Ch: empire. It is reasonably certain that, whztever the con- dition of the trade door, whether open or shut, none of the powers now holding terri- torial interests on the mainland will toler- massacres or disorde their trade rights. So that the American a collection of European p! covers only one pha that China may erfering with cuted, bility e of the eventually be ab- sorbed by the pow It removes the kreatest temptation for them to enlarge their territorial holdings by sweeping away the commercial premium upon aggressions, But of course It cannot extend to hold the powers in leash whenever they find Chinese governmental incompetence menacing life and Uberty. Thus the completion of these negotiations, with their most satisfactory results, should serve as a warning that, this much having been done for her, China must henesforth guard well her own in- tegrity through an improved domestic ad- ministration. With the open door assured the powers will have perhaps a greater poss! ‘well as Mr. Bryan himself. "patience with the inability of Pekin to eon- trol the provinces than before.’ But they cannot be expected to stand Yor utter an- archy in the Interiof, thé suppression’ of trade and thé ignoring of all treaty rights. China must sooner or later reach the con- clusion that she is not in condition to fol- low her prejudices and doctrines of many centuries in these days of western civiliza- tion. She Is surrounded by Caucasian in- fluences and even deeply penetrated by them. Trade is creeping through her prov- inces and teaching her people new needs and new ways of life. The process of regeneration is slow but sure. Opposed to it is the tenacity with which the reaction- ary party, now in power, holds to the old thought and fosters the prejudices of the people. In this the empress dowager, who leads the reaction, is supported and perhaps prompted by Russia, who finds it to her interests to foster Chinese distrust of the other powers and to foment provincial trouble. The question-now paramount in the consideration of the Chinese problem is whether this party will maintain its grasp long enough to tempt the powers to divide her in the interests of good govern- ment. Secretary Hay has pointed the way to a new order by checking the commer- cial advance. China herself must supply the force to erisure the complement to this achievement, the statesman who ifs wise and strong enough to reorganize the do- mestic government on lines of efficiency and honesty, and to shake loose from Russian intrigue. If no such man appears China is indeed threatened through her own pre- judice, for the world will not long tolerate the effects of her incompetence, savage bigotry and opposition to reasonable en- lightenment. —___« + = ____ The Taft Commission. ‘The government has taken a long step ahead toward the settlement of affairs in the Philippines by dispatching the Taft commission on its way with liberal instruc- tions to adjust affairs in the islands accord- ing to the best judgment of the five mem- bers. This body has been chosen with ex- ceptional care, and from the chairman to the attaches {t represents virtually the best American thought and capacity for con- struction. It is certain to meet With oppo- sition and to encounter difficulties in its task. But that those difficulties and that opposition are susceptible of being over- come through patience, tact and decision ts not to be doubted. The purpose of the United States to hold the Philippines is well established and, probably, by this time well understood in the archipelago save in the few quarters still beclouded by insurgent misrepresentations. This is the first and great achievement. When once the na- tives are brought to understand that the flag is planted at Manila to remain and that good government and prosperity flow to them in proportion to their acceptance of the fact in good faith the problem of paci- fication and administration is well for- warded toward solution. In-personnel the commission commends itself to all interests, parties and sections. It Is truly representative. It has acted wisely in selecting as its executive officer Mr. Charles M. Pepper, who is widely recognized as one of the foremost authori- ties on affairs concerning the relations of the United States toward the late depend- encies of Spain. Mr. Pepper, as The Star's correspondent in Cuba and elsewhere, par- ticipated in an important degree in the re- organization of the western hemisphere. He has acquired a wide acquaintance with the character of the Pacific islanders, and will unquestionably prove of’ exceptional e@ to the commission as aid and ad- trator. of course not to be expected that this Ss high qual in supplanting the militar: operations with civ in all parts of the archipelago few weeks after arrival. But it is confidently to be believed that if will smooth away many rough places -?mmediately, by offering guarantees of civil government. while preparing upon a broad scale for the institution of civil au- thority In all the provinces which have ac- cepted the Amerfean rule. It is now ex- pected that the Insurrection will drag along throughout the rainy season, which is soon to open, perhaps resuming a semblance of organization. But the efforts of the com- mission toward pacific establishment will go far toward off-setting any activity the rebels may sho and put the government in admirable position for a combined as- sault next autumn by the military and the civil forces upon the last vestiges of armed ‘opposition. ——__+e2—__ The District Demecracy. Those democrats of the District who held @ mass meeting last night and discussed the duty of the party here with respect to the Kansas City convention are altogether I cal and courageous in the position they take. They are Bryan men, but not in the sense merely of personal devotion. They are thoroughly loyal to him, but as thor- oughly loyal also to the policies for which he stands. They do not desire his succ: as he himself does not—at the expense of all for which he most conspicuously stands. Mr. Bryan's adjuration is, “Love me, love my principles.” These men are heeding that. They want him renominated for President by acclamation, and at the same time the Chicago platform readopted with equal heartiness and sincerity. The fight at Kansas City will be over the platform. Nothing could be plainer than this now is. The shout within the party for Mr. Bryan is very general. But it is not every one who is yelling “Bryan! Bryan!” that enters into the spirit of the Bryanized democracy. There are many who would eliminate Bryanism completely, and then nominate the Nebraska leader on @ platform of their own. Nor may it justly be said that the purpose of such men is to betray Mr. Bryan. They do not believe he will have any chance of election at all on the Chicago platform, and so they urge a change in the party's deliverance which, in their view of matters, will bring the flesh pots within the party's reach. Nevertheless, the Bryanites—the men who want the old leader on the old platform— are right. They are the real democrats. They carry the party’s shield and sword. They want to carry the party’s principles as well as the party's leader to victory. And so, as they properly insist, Instructions to the delegates who are to represent the District at Kansas City should be voted, and should include the Bryan platform as At the conven- tion the p’atform will come first. If that is constructed after the Bryanite wish and pattern the nomination to follow will be made with all the greater enthusiasm. It is a very pretty fight as it stands, and it is good to see the District democrats entering Into it with so much zeal and spirit. The delegates to Kansas City should be—and doubtless they will be—men in ev- ory qualified to participate in proceed- ings which are certain to call for both courage and experience. Lay on, good peo- ple; and may the best man win! +o om Paul is getting a large number of compilmentary notices, and the British talk as if they proposed to leave him plenty of time to read his scrap book in the future. ————__ + > ___ Mr. Bryan of Nebraska. It is reported. and denied, that, if de- feated In his second race for the presi- dency, Mr. Bryan will move to Texas and make that state his home. It ts assumed that a second defeat will finish him po- itically, and as he seems fond of Texas some people have jumped to the conclu- sion that he will seek repose there in his retirement. The denial of the story fs persuasive A second defeat seems likely for Mr. Bryan, but why should that finish him politically? He is only forty years of age. His vigor an@ physique suggest a life of eighty. He TRE:BVENING STAR, Ses MARCH 31, 1900-26. PAGES, - ossesses: wonderful energy. And while he ltves he’ will remain a politician. He is yet only intimately fond of the game of Politics, but he plays it well and pictu- resquely. He has had a most unusual ca- reer. Of course if defeated, again for Presi- dent he will, as a matter of necessity, drop out for a while. But not for long. Why should he not hope in the course of eight or ten years to come’ again? He will then be-sti#t a young man. And he will always be an interesting one. r And as he ts likely, in case of defeat, to take this view of the future, he will see the advisability of sticking to the west. A home in any one of the gulf states would put him at a disadvantage. They have none*but local politics down there. Every- thing political goes by force of popular prejudice and intolerance. Discussion is all but barred, and the ballot performs but a very limited function. The south has cre- ated a political condition all her own, and in doing so has robbed her sons of their natural national political importance. Some very attractive men, of the first order of capacity, have thus been cut off and local- ized, So why should a man like Bryan move in and associate himself with such depressing and unfavorable political sur- rouniings? The west is still young, and is growing. The day of a great hoom for her Is close at hand. The establishing of a closer rela- tionship to Asiatic trade means an addi- tion of millions to her population and bil- Nons to her wealth. The people are alive and pushing. They have no “nigger” ques- tion to confuse their view. They enjoy the blessings of a free ballot and a fair count, and their leaders are factors in the na- onal equation. Mr. Bryan, it is very cer- tain, sees all this, and will be governed by it. He will keep Texas to go to when he gets tired and wants a rest. But he will centinue to reside in Nebraska. The Boers may feel themselves called upon to adopt Filipino tactics and make a minimum of fighting and a maximum of de- lay the chlef object of their operations. In the meantime Europe's perpetual war cloud may develop something. ————_+ + +_____ The figures quoted in connection with Montana politics may have a wholesome effect In deterring people who think that anybody with one or two hundred thou- sand dollars can get into the United States Senate. ——_—_~+-2___ It is hoped that Cuba in considering its relationship to this country will not try to reach any decision by talking the matter over with Porto Rico. ————_+ e+ —___ Kentucky is justified in feeling that it takes some chances in importing Cincinnati talent to straighten out its political and judicial mix-ups. ———_-.____ It is interesting to theorize on how much more trouble Gen.

From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. ‘The announcement that Senator Morgan will press the Nicaragua canal bill has aroused the enemies of that measure, and the various lines of transcontinental rail- reads have ordered their smart lawyers and glib talkers to Washington for the purpose -of strengthening the lobby that is working to defeat the bill. The fight will be a bat- tle of Titans. On the one side is ranged the citizenry of the country of every political faith. Republicans, democrats and popu- Usts all favor the construction of the Nica- ragua canal as a national and commercial necessity. The people are represented in Congress by their senators and congress- mien, and they leok to these to carry out their wishes. On the other side is ranged wealth. All the power of aggregated millions, all the influence of monopolistic combination, all the cunning, the cupidity, the rapacity of Mammon, have marshaled their forces to defeat this necessary measure. ——_+> ee _____ The Open Boor Triumph.
