Though trainsd under Spanish in

That of the Supreme court on the

cleirly stated than this:

It is to bo said to tbe credit of
Postmaster General Smith that h
lias aloys been an opponent of Quay

reason Washington probably at
taehea too much importance to bis
message of sympathy to tbe monster

npobe right out :
It is time for a now Declaration of
Independence. Philadelphia ought
to ris in her might against the job
bers iu her public rights and the
sacred safeguard
of
ravisbers of her
law.
But it does not follow that be
spoke for tho McKinley adajinistra
tion or that his message has any more
significance than a reiteration of his
own long timo views. The President
is not by nature a sympathizer with
thieves but be does rot go out of his
way to fight them. Io all his pur lie

ment can hardly repress its indigna
tin t the idea of such an extension
to the otbor peoples of color that hav
en-a under our rule. Tie experience

If this is tree of Hawaii and the
Philippines, it was even more true of
nur rerroBS who at the cloae of the
war were far inferior in point of od
ucation and every other requirement
for self rule to the feople of these is
lands that will rank very well as re-
ards education with the average
white peoples of the world. Tbe
Trihur.n thirtv odd years ago was
thundering the contrary doctrine fram
the standpoint of the philosophy of
democracy. The negro, it declared
must have the ballot to protect him
selfthere was no other way to save
bim from being forced back to vir
tual slavery and from being subject
to all sorts of abuses and robberies at
the bands of men having unlimited
and unchecked power over him. This
was true, and it was alsj trte, as the
Tribune well argued then, that the
only way to train and and tit any peo
ple for self rule was to set them at it,
that the great virtue of Democracy
was that it contained within itself
the chance for remedy for its own
evil3 and short comings, not that Bny
people ever could b3 entirely fit for
it, cot that it would produce ideal
government, or ever bad done so even
among ourselves, but that taking into
account its poteooies of development
Bnd uplifting, it was on the whole the
best government any people could
have, wherever situated or however
circumstanced. To deny all this row
is simply to declare that the country
was all wrong on the negro question
after tbe war to "camp on southern
ground" as er-Secretary Herbert well
declares in tho article quoted else
where.
The Tribune's presei.t argument is
unanswerable es an indictment of the
policy of annexation of distant terri
tories and peoples that we are cot will
ing and cannot afford to receive upon
an equality with ourselves. The mean
ing of it all is simply that we ought
to let them alono and leave them to
work out their own destiny, on the
democratic or any other basis they
chose, which they can do without in
jury to ua and without any responsi
bility on our part for either tbeir
successes or failures. And the prac
tical fact, attested by all human his
tory, is that they can do it better in
dependence on themselves than rnder
any foreign and alien guardianship.
An article by Henry R Marshall in
the July International Journal nf
Htnics well presents toe reason on
moral Bnd physical grounds why this
is so, and as a matter of strict science
combats the idea that mankind lives
under an iron law of nature which
mmands the individual to crowd
and crush and extinguish bis weaker
fellows. The law of struggle and sur
vival of fittest, as even Darwin icti-
mated, ends where reason begins. Mr
Marshall likens individuals and differ
ent peoples in tbe interracaial ori;aniz
ation to the elementary parts of the
pdividual animal, each expressing
its own instinctive tecdency and yet
all together producing the activites of
tbe whole organism, where it Nil:
to do so death or naralvsis results.

fetched, as it teems to the lay mind
at least, in advocacy of prohibition of
marriage with a deceased wife's sis
ter. He says :
Tbe argument in favor of allowing
marriaire with a deceased wife'a sis
ter, bated on the supposed practical
advantages of such an arrangement,
seems to me entirely fallacious What
so natural, it is asked, as for an aunt
to cate for a-.d play a mother's part
to her sister's children, in whom she
will have a peculiar interest? The ar
gument, fails to consider that this ar
rangement, in itself most antirral and
desirable, will in many cases be ren-
Oerea impracticable, if tne wife a
sister is regarded as ber possible suc
cessor. Sbo can more rcaoily he tbe
guardian of her sister's children
when she stand in no other relation to
them or to their father. To permit a
man to marry bis wife's sister is to
abolish ber privileged position as bis
sister-iii law. Tre recognition of re
lationships of affinity witDin wbich
marriage is forbidden is seen by this
instance to lie co mere arbitrary nr

mabeshift, tu: nccmplished its pur
pose iu carrying the republic through
the Dreytin trouble with some sort of
honor, and bis now held the reigns
longer than any of its predecessors un
der tha Tuird Republic. The bill, which
has been fought with all the vehem
ence and power of Home, aims for tbe
purpoe of controlling fducation.to keep
the religious orders within reach of the
government arm. Those orders, a ma
jority of whose members are French,
or tbat are governed and managed in
France, are not interfered with, but!
those tbat consist in the main of for
eigners, or "have foreigners to admin

tered the congregation or, what ha3 ac-
rued to them, either by acquisition or

originally bequeathed it. It ts certain-
a drastic measure and likely to be
effective in keeping clerical enmity to
tbe republic within bounds. It applies
Jesuits, the Carthusians, the Do
minicans and the Assmnntionists. M
Valdeck-R( usseau declared in bis speech
or tbe bill tha tthe association keeps in
mortninln property to the value of
00,000,000, and that this wealth had
been employed for political as
well as for religious purposes, and
gbt continue to be so employed to the
constant danger of the republic. So
rapidly has the education of well-to-do
people passed into religious bands that,
according to M Waldeck-Rausfeau. there
are now two classes of youths in France,
tbe one faithful to the traditions of lib
erty and free inquiry, the other reac
tionary an.1 clerical. It is certainly
within the fair province ot government
to so regulate education at not to be
suDversive of the government itself,
and the idea of the property provisions,
he said, was to make the existence of
the orders entirely dependent on the
will of the government.
