Mandpoint The second volume of the report -

of the climate and natural resources of the [
island The chief Interest in the report
nai irally centers In the plan of govern
ment prrposed by the commission.
Th roir.nilsslon announces itself unquali
fiedly In favor of a government of the Phil
ippines analogous to that of a territory of
ho United States , with a governor ap-
rointcd by the president. The commlsMcn-
ers say it Is desirable that the Inhabitants
of the archipelago should enjoy substan-
* tallv the rights and privileges of towns In
a territory
Hi-alnnlnir Mn } lip Mndi * nt Once.
The provinces should be vested with sub-
a'an'Ially the functions of a county In a tcr-
" torr this system might be applied to >
Luzon and the Vlscayan Islands at once
ati'l v beginning might be made on the coast
of Mindanao. The Sulu archipelago , call
ing ' < n special arrangements with the sultan
'be ommisslon sajs , need not be considered
in 'bis connection.
Th Filipinos could manage their own
'o n and county affairs through their own
offl' era whom they could elect with no help
from American officials , except such as '
would be involved In control from the cen-
ral go\crnment at Manila. The suffrage
should be restricted by educational or prop
erty qualifications , or both. This system
would necessitate a small body \merlcan
oQVials of great ability and Integrity and of
patience and tact In dealing with other
races and on this account the commission
recommends that they should be paid high
salaries
The . ommisaion sa > s they could be called
advisers or commissioners and that one for
eiprv JjO.OOO natives should suffice It
would be the duly of such commissioners
to report on their work to the central gov
ernment at Manila. Their mam function
would be to ad\ise town and county coun
cils in the discharge of their duties and
to nat h the collection of revenue and Its
expenditures Our goxernment of the Phil
ippines the commission Ineists , must be
'
adapted to the Filipinos.
The commission discusses the svstem of
goxcminentby" a protectorate and board
over the Majajan peninsula by Great Brit
ain. deeming such -H protectorate iaad\isa-
hle it having been Instituted for the reason
that England had no sovereignty there. The
United States , hich possess.es sovereignty
o\er the Philippines , need not concern It
self wrh such a scheme The mass of .the
people except In the Sulu group and some
portions of Mindanao and Pala van. which
are without chieftains or rulers are with
out distinction of birth or rank , in other
words are a pure democracy. The kind
of a protectorate which the insurgent lead
ers desired , the ( .omrnitsion sajs , is one in
whi h the United States would assume all
rcsprnnblllty for protecting the Philippine
goxernment against foreign aggression , while
its oun olllciala would collect revenues.

I n ler the chimerical scheme of protec-
ion i nerlbbed by Aguinaldo. if a foreigner
lost his life or property through a miscar
riage of Justice In a Philippine- court , or in
ronseqtience of a governor's failure to bup-
press a riot , then the United States would
be reeponnlble for Indemnity to the for-
cisncr government , without possessing the
power of punishing the offenders or of pre
venting such maladministration , or of pro-
te < ting itself against blmllar occurrences In
the future Nor could the liability to for
eign nations bu reduced without permitting
them indirectly to seek redress , and such a
course would , It Is to be feared ( speedily

ment. the commission points out. after
lengthy argument , should be applied to the

A territorial government , it concludes. Is
a desideratum. The commission takes as a
baste for the government proposed the ter-
rltorlal organization of Louisiana. The act
Is set forth In full It provides for a gov
ernor and secretary of the treasury and
vexts the legislative power In a council
appointed annually by the president. Courts

"This schema of government ' soys the
commission , "possesses , besides Its Intrinsic
merits , the historical interest attaching to
origination with the author of the Declara
tion of Independence Jefferson had outlined -
. lined a first sketch as early as November.
I | 1808 He seems to have felt no Incon-
} grulty between the principles of the Dccla-
i ] ration of Independence of the thirteen sell-
j governing colonies nnd this scheme of ? ov-
! eminent for the politically Inexperienced In-
I habitants of Louisiana. Indeed , he com
plains with some bitterness. In Decem
ber , 1S03. when differences of opinion de
veloped as to the manner of disposing of
Louisiana , that 'although It Is acknowledged
that our new fellow-citizens are as yet as
incapable of self-government as children ,
yet some cannot bring themselves to suspend -
pend Its principles for a single moment' "
In connection with the subject of govern
ment the commission reaches the following
conclusions
I The United Slates cannot withdraw
from the Philippines. We are there and
duty bids us remain There Is no escape
i from our responsibility to the Filipinos and
to mankind for the government of the arch-
! ipelago anil th amelioration of the condi-
| tlon of its Inhabitants
II The Fillplnob are wholly unprepared
for independence , and If independence were
given to them they could not maintain it
Under the third head is Included a copv
of Admiral Deweys letter to Senator Lodge ,
which was read in the senate the other day.
denying Agulnaldo's claim that he was prom
ised Independence
IV There being no Philippine nation.
but only a collection of different peoples.
there is no general public oolnlon In the
archipelago , but the men of property and ed
ucation , who alone Interest themselves in
public affairs. In general recognize as in
dispensable American authority , guidance
and protection.
V Congress should , at the earliest prac
ticable time , provide for-tbe. Philippines the
form of government herein recommended , or
another equally beneficial.
VI Pending any action on the part of
congress , the commission recommends that
the president put in operation this scheme
of civil government in such parts of the
archipelago as are at peace
VII So far as the finances of the Phil
ippines permit , public education should be
promptly established , and when established
made free to all.
VIII The greatest care should be taken
In the selection of officials for administraj
tion. They should be men of the highest
character and fitness- and partisan politics-
should be entirely separated from the gov
ernment of the Philippines.
