The great fact, disowned by the commission, is that all men have capacity for self-government. It i born with them into the world. The forms by which it is accomplished differ with racial characteristics. There is seli-government everywhere in the Philip- pines outside the American lines, and where it is there is no anarchy. Last January an official report to our | te Department said that, in addition to his mili- | tary expulsion of Spanish sovereignty from the four | islands of Luzon, Panay, Negros and Cebu, Aguin- aldo’s government “‘was administering government with dignity and justice.” The commission concludes its rhapsody with that which is the real reason for the position in which this Government has become involved. This is a statement of the wealth of the islands in agriculture, minerals, timber and trade, of which “the United | States will obtain a large share.” This part of the report reads like the Englishman’s reason for the Boer war: “If you had a chance to seize a billion of gold in the Transvaal mines wouldn’t you do it?” his re vised. Certainly a striking illustration has been given of the naval power of the empire. Within a2 month Great Britain has arranged to transport an army of 60,000 men across 6000 miles of ocean. She has ac- complished the feat without seriously disturbing her great commercial steamship lines, and she has pro- | vided the money to defray the cost without levying any increased tax upon her people. Now to add to the effect of the lesson she mobilizes fleets sufficient to patrol the coast of a continent without materially weakening her squadrons in any other part of the world. It is not likely the immense cost of the vast dem- onstration of power on the seas has been undertaken without good cause. There is at present no evidence of any intention on the part of the powers of Europa to interfere to prevent the conquest of the Trans- vaal, but there is no telling what might happen should a serious reverse be suffered by the empire in that part of the world and the war be prolonged.

O which experts differ so much it is difficult for outsiders to form a definite opinion concern- ing it. Time and again efforts have been made to re- form the service, and elaborate statements have becn made of its defects, but in each instance the efforts | have been defeated by the presentation of facts tend- ing to show that the service is about as good as can 1 be made. The consular reports issued by our Government have repeatedly won the commendation of British and other European authorities on commercial sub- jects, and they certainly give evidence of a good deal | of care on the part of the consuls in seeking out in- formation likely to be of value to American exporters. On the other hand, there have been made many kinds of complaints of a lack of training on the part of the men engaged in the service; a lack which it is said puts us at a disadvantage with European merchants, who are aided by their skilled and well-trained rep- resentatives abroad. The subject was recently discussed at the com- mercial congress, and the weight of opinion appeared to be that there is needed in the consular service a better educated class of men .than we now have. Robert Adams Jr.,, who as Minister to Brazil had occasion and opportunity to study the subject, said our service is not satisfactory and not up to the standard of that of other countries. Consuls, he de- | clared, should speak the language of the country to which they are sent, or at least French; they should pass a special examination for their positions and have tenure for life, or at least during good behavior, | and there should be a chance for promotion held out | to them as an incentive to do good work. | Mr. Adams attributed the defects of the system to | the manner in which the consuls are selected. “Our | foreign representatives,” he said, “are now appointed through political influence, and it would be impos- isible for any President to stand up against the pres- sure brought on him to make such appointments. It is the system that must be changed, and it is strange | that our up-to-date business men do not give the | matter their attention, for whatever the business inter- | ests demand for the benefit of American trade they | ultimately get.” Owing to the rapid expansion of our foreign com- merce the subject has become one of more import- | ance than ever. Granted that the service is in many | respects excellent, that many able men represent us ' as consuls, there remains the fact that improvements may be made in it, and it is worth while to set about the reforms at once. As we have to compete with the nations of Europe for commerce we must have in the field representatives just as well trained as those pos- sessed by a European country. | e — Providence was kind yesterday and gave the voters | pleasant weather for the elections in all parts of the | country.

Lungs When your throat and lungs are perfectly healthy you needn’t worry about the germs of consumption. They don’t attack healthy people. It’s the weak, debilitated, in- flamed membranes that are first affected. Hard coughs and colds weaken your throat and lungs and make con- sumption more easy. If your lungs are weak Scoi’s Emuision is the best remedy you can take. It soothes and heals and gives tone and strength to these delicate mem- branes. In this way you can prevent consumption. And you can cure it also if you haven’t had it too long. Keep taking it until your lungs are strong and your weight restored. scorit RlgeRse: e and Sroo. ists, New Yorke: listment, unless for good cause the |
