BRITISH VIEW OF CONDITIONS AT MANILA. The effect of American occupation of the Philippines upon Industrial and trade conditions in the islands has been .the .subject of so much conflicting fUtement that the official reports of the representatives 3f other govern ments will have more than ordinary Interest and value to Americana. People who are reluctant to accept the statements of newspaper corres pondents will Gnd particularly Interest ing and instructive reading In the re ports of the British consul at Manila, who confirms much that has been said regarding the improved conditions and trade prospects 'n the islands. The British consular reports, which have a high reputation for reliability, speak In very complimentary terms of the beneficent results of American control. Extracts from we report of the Brit ish consul at Manila have just been forwarded by United States Consul Halstead of Birmingham to the state department. In this report the Brit ish consul says that law and order are being rapidly restored, although the immense size of the country renders it a difficult task. He expresses the belief that the natives would willingly return to there agricultural pursuits, but the influence of their leaders and of Oie "anti-imperialists" In Jhe Unit ed States keeps them from surrend ering. "improvements are visible In every direction," says the British consul, "and already the town has quite a dif ferent appearance from last year." The work of draining the filthy town -ditches and stagnant pools is about to be undertaken by the Americans. This may entail an epidemic, but It Is de manded by the Interests of posterity. The consul does not believe that Ma nila will ever become a fashionable watering place, but he believes "it will become a great commercial power be fore the first quarter of the century Is passed." The consul declares there are many golden opportunities for the employ ment of capital and talent in factories, hotels and various enterprises. Hotels, livery stables and ice manufactories are very much wanted. He does not Lazy Livers are many time the cause of various daeasua.

Mr. Bryan's home organ, "The Oma ha World-HeMld," with that superior Insight natural to those who recognise Mr. Bryan as the reincarnation of Thomas Jefferson, comes forward enlighten Senator De-pew as to the views of Jefferson on the present situ ation. nnd assures him that if he will go to Kansas City and "listen Thomas Jefferson, he will letirn more about just governments than he eve has seemed to know." It is led thus to announce that Thomas Jefferson will be heard at Kansas City by a remark of Mr. Depew at Philadelphia wonder Ing what Jefferson would say to antl expansion declarations In view of his own start at Imperialism. The oracle answers that he woluld say to Mr, Depew: "What Is, to become of your expan slon? Mine was carved Into fifteen great states. Tours is to be ruled as a depend ;ncy of a crown. Mine Is self' governing. Tours is ruled in keeping with the argument of kings. Mine was carved into states. Yours is held in vassalage. I promised mine self-gov ernment and equal participation In the affairs of the Republic. Yon withhold such a promise from yours and treat iu people as subjects." . It is true that few men could turn a corner quicker than Jefferson or talk more glibly about liberty while acting the dictator, but we seriously doubt if the despot of Louisiana would so far forget his record as to indulge in any such comparison. There were men in 1503 whose mighty shales mtgnt wun sen-respect talk to us about the "consent of the governed" and about "dependencies of a crown." Thomas Jefferson, however, was not one of them, and anybody who studies history and Is not merely sending forth a voice from the depth of his own ignorance knows perfectly well that Jefferson ruled Lousiana as a de pendency without self-government and without regard not merely to the po litical but even the personal guaran tees of the constitution. Against the will of its Inhabitants he bought sov ereignty from a foreign nation. Iu people were not strong enough to re sist his power, but when the American flag was raised over New Orleans, his tory says, the residents wept, and their tears were told of in congress and made much of by the opposition, just as the resistance of Aguinaldo Is being made much of by the Democrats toiay. Having established his rule over Louisiana 'without the consent of the governed" by an exefclse of power which he himself frankly declared he believed was a usurpation of execu tive authority and unconstitutional. Jefferson proceeded to obtain from congress authorization to govern It as a dependency outside the constitution. A territorial government was estab lished, which was denounced by many of even the president's own partisans in congress as being "royal" In IU character. Its supporters were frankly told that it did "not evince a single trait of liberty." but was a violation of the whole spirit of Democracy and the establishment of an empire. And no wonder! The law gave to the pres ident the appointment of a governor and legislative council without confir mation by the senate, regardless of the rule of the constitution on that sub ject. It put all powers of government in the hands of creatures of the pres ident, thus making him an absolute despot. It set up courts which had no warrant In the constitution, and even deprived the people of the trial by Jury so sacredly guarded in the constitution. Yet Thomas Jefferson signed that law and under It proceeded to exsrclse his royal powers. In time this dependency became self governing. Ho, too, after suitable tute lage, may the Philippines. So is Porto Rioo now on the way to become self governing under laws more liberal to the Inhabitants than Jefferson gave to the Loulsianlans. True, he promised the territory equal participation In the affairs of the Republic, and was told by congressmen that he had no au thority to make any binding promise on the subject, and that such partlci ratlon would com? only when congress taw fit to gra.it It, and the people of one part of that territory, namely, Oklaho ma, are still asking that Jefferson's promise of nearly a hundred years ago TtoaToikbhaidYDrKffluW,GrMBttsf Care of Lamps Maay tooMlHptra think rStrt la aetatai at War abaai ttit car ot lampa, rut II th tint dt alli ar meatloate art adtitr4 to itwra will b atnal alttmnc la in Hint, rirat. a Urna mutt ha cimatd tad tillta trtr asorslat; th .araar aheuld b cld oac a tal th beat ear la M boll ttia Is vattr to which Gold Dust Visaing Povdef hat bat added.

So much for Jefferson's empty promise of equality, which was followed In practice by his treatment of the annexed people as subjects. Per haps that was more honest and Dem ocratic than Mr. McKinley's plan of not promising an equality which he cunnot confer, but giving the new territories as free a government as circumstances will permit, and freer than Jefferson gave his vassals. But, with all due i respect to the Inspired mediums of Jefferson's communications with this world, we doubt if Jefferson himself would say so. Depot" Fifth and Leave I StreeU.
