no demonstration , m fnct. tile success o !
I'libinml as a colonial power dates from thi
time when its colonial administration of It *
colonies was divorced from party struggles
n Parliament. It is no less evident thai
the governor general ought to be advised bj
a council drawn from the wisest members
or the colonial service. There Is , however
another principle which is less obvious. II
s that of avoiding excesslvo Interference
from homo.
The employment of capable , Inlluenllal ua-
v < is by tllc Bovermuout Is a matter of no
little consequence. This leads naturally to
the suggestion , inndo often of late , of gov
erning through the native chiefs , as Great
Jrltiiln has done In India and the Malay pen
insula. That such system Is advantageous
wherever practicable , English experience
amply proves ; and indeed it Is now a maxim
n India that every native state ought to be
ireservcd with scrupulous care.
It is , perhaps , needless to emphasize the
niportanco of absolute religious toleration.
We believe in It and practice it BO fully at
lomo that we are not likely to violate It in
our dependencies.
The development of local self-government
a a matter of the highest importance , for it
s the foundation of true political liberty.
Capacity for popular government cannot be
created by edict. It must bo acquired by
slow experience , and efforts to produce It
suddenly have usually been disastrous.
A permanent civil service Is essential to
'orto ttlco as well as in the Philippines , al-
. hough it would have a somewhat different
character. In the Philippines we must de-
icnd In the main on American oniclals , while
n Porto Ilico the service ought , after the
first few years , to be recruited almost ex
clusively from the residents.
The Judicial system Is , perhaps , the most
mportant point of all. If the people of
'orto Rico are to acquire political Ideas and
radltlons It must be chiefly by means of. the
courts of law , for the .relations of the courts'
o the administrative ofllcials and to the
citizens Is the fundamental point of differ
ence between the Anglo-Saxon system of
; overnment nnd that of the Latin races. It
s 'the force that prevents the government
rom being autocratic , that makes it a gov
ernment of lawa and not of men.

Theodore S. Woolsey , professor of inter-
latloual law , Yale university , dullvcrcd an
iddress on "The Government of Depen
dencies. " Ho said in part :
"Our flrst step very properly in Cuba ,
vhicli Is under our protection , consists in
ullltary occupation , using soldiers as a con-
tabulary. This means order and bettoi
anltatlon nnd protection to local industries

To accomplish the desired end , this must

oto of the United States representatives.
All franchises should be in the hands of

] f the laws bbould be entrusted to native
ilected officers ; the courts to Judge causes
inder the local law should ho Cuban also.

Whether the issue of the protectorate Is In-
lepcndence , or , as many believe , annexn-
: lon , tlc process of education , of paclflca-
lim is tlio same. It consists In n word
n granting as much control ever internal
iffiilrn us 'tho ' inhabitants are able to bear.
\nd we must so regulate their duties and
ovonuo laws and commercial rights , ns to
; lvo them a prosperous life , even at our
iwn cost ; that Is. if wo wish the experl-
nent to turn out well. Thus we should
ipen the door to foreign trade on BH favor-
iblo terms an to our own. Instead of ro
unding the trafllc between Cuba nnd the
itntos n coasting trade , wo should open it
o foreign ships. And between Spaniards
ind Cubans , wo should not discriminate.

The raee of the Philippines stands on u
llfforent footing. They are certain to bo a
lieavy burden. Hut the treaty is now rall
ied and wo must make the best of it. ( iov-
? rn we must. Civil government would mean
. linoa , if the personal guarantees go with it.
Mo government can succeed there which Islet
lot based on force. Wo need to place a bo-
levolent despot In every dlttrlct in the urch-
pclago. Therefore , the military government
Is the only ono possible. And this U do-
iiendent upon the Inaction of congress , lu
institutional basis lies In the fact that the
United States is sovereign , is responsible
'or ' the maintenance of justice and order , for
the defense of its territory , for the protec
tion of Its subjects' rights. I'ondlng action
iy congress , this duty devolves upon iho
resident , the executive head of the nation

ready existing , nnd executed by the presi-
lent's representatives , tha olllcers of the
United States army. This .despotic . form of
idmlnlstratlon Is not an ideal method ; Ua
luatlncation Is that no other Is practicable.
There Is always the chance that congress , in
irdcr to embarraes a president of a different
lolitlcal complexion , may decide to embark
aytm civil government , aud take tub trc-
niendmiK , perhaps dangerous , despotic powc
out of the executive's hands. So wo ca
hardly expect plain sailing. Our duty is t

and then to "wish for the day. "

W. Alleyn Ireland of London , Kn&lan
delivered an address on "Tho Oovcrnme

I do not believe that the Inhabitants c
the tropics will ever bo capable of sclf-gov

tached to that expression. Is there at th
present day to bo found anywhere In th
tropics n country which Is showing Itsel
capable of self-government ? I might R
farther and ask has there ever be n nn
country In the tropics which has show
Itself capable of self-government ?
The reason why the negro has made n
progress Is that n tropical climate docs nr
plaro n man under any necessities to exct
himself , nnd there 13 no reason to mippos
1 that the climatic Influence of the tropics wll
bo less powerful In the next thousand year
than It has been in the last thousand yean
I nm Inclined to think that so long as thec
i Ists will maintain that political and ethlca
, principles have nn universal applicability
RO long will all attempts nt civilizing th
I tropics end in grievous disappointment.
will not go so far ns to say that the fncult ;
of governing the tropics lies wholly with th
Anglo-Saxon race , but I am llrmly of tin
opinion that without the strong hand of tin
man of the north to hold things together th.
tropics will never advance beyond the poln
which has been reached by the Centra
American republic.

The German consul , however , Issued i
counter proclamation in the Satnoar
language , which was distributed among thi
Mntaafans. The proclamation reads as fol'

APIA , March 13. Notlco to All Samoans :
By the proclamation of the admiral of the
United States , dated Mnrcn 11 , it was made
rtnown that three consuls of the signatory
powers of the Uerlln- treaty , as well as the
Jirco commanders of men-of-war , had been
unanimous to no more recognize the provis
ional government composed of Mataafa and
the thirteen chiefs.
1 , therefore , make known to you that this
proclamation Is quite false. I , the German
consul general , continue to recognize the
provisional government of Samoa until I
iiave received contrary Instructions from my
government. ROSE ,

Hostilities commenced on Tuesday ? ftcr-

Horning notice was spread that If no answer

Mataafa sent no answer. He nnd his chiefs
vere buoyed up by the German consul's
proclamation and vague talk that Germany
vould support them and was the greatest
latlon on earth , invincible In war , nnd that
3rcat Britain and America would never dare
o engage Germany In conflict.
Signal guns were fired and the foreign
lopulatlon of British and Americans were

ihla opened fire by throwing a shell into the
niteklrts of Apia. The Royalist followed
vlth alx-lnch shells and the Porpolso went
lown the coast a couple of miles and bom-
jarded the village 'of Valusu , where largo
lartlcfl of rebels were suppled to bo , The

The next day n body of 300 Malietoans had

Speaking of receipts of the Nebraska post-

"Tho receipts for the past quarter , indicate
to my mind that the state is enjoying a
season of prosperity never before experi

business , which must be attributed to the
fact that many people are coming to the

Referee Holtrann declared the bout between
Tommy White of Chicago nnd "Kid" Goulel
of Rochester a draw. The bout took place
under the auspices of the Memphis Athletic
club at the Auditorium theater and was wit
nessed by about 1,500 people.
The fighting throughout was give and
take , White having considerable advantage
in height and generalship , whllo Goulct
seemed much the stronger , yet unable to get
Insldo White's guard hard enough to hurt
him. The Rochester "boy " rushed repeatedly
and wildly , but was stopped neatly 'by '
White. Goulet fell three times during the
fight from the force of his own rushes. In
the tenth White landed heavily on Goulofa
car , 'bringing ' first 'blood. ' Honors were
pretty evenly divided In the succeeding
rounds and the decision gave general satis
faction.
