There are organs which are blindly insisting on the most extreme course with reference to the new "acquisition" hi the orient, scrcly Imause they think it is the policy of the . d minist rat ion. and they do not feel at liberty to have thoughts of their own. President Mi-Kiidey may surprise them some tlay. In several important instances in his public lite he has not been so wedded to a si-nti-inent or a principle that he has not been able to make a radical and tuddt a tw Itch. It is very well understood that the administration oecupii s a radically different position from the one it assumed when the peace commissioner went to I'ari. Senator Hoar knows personally that which he lias failed to gala official knowledge of. 1 he resolution which he offered some time since, and which was adopted by fh 81 at,

asking for certain information about the peaae negotiations, was couched in tlie usual terms. It rejCOgalBCd the right commonly accorded to the executive dapartnaattt to decline to communicate anything w hich it might look upon as incompatible with th public interest. What Hoar evidently desired to bring out was the fact that the peace commissioners on behalf of the united BtatCV were originally authorized to demand only a coaling station on the island of I.uon. This and nothing more. Tlie eSCOtvc department has taken doubtful advantage o' its prerogative to n fat this information.

That may be the purpose now. but it raj not at Ifta Ilm the treaty wns framed. The article relating to the

Secretary of War Alger, in histesti mony before the war investigation commission, stated that the nason why there was noaetite preparation before the doclaratinn of war was because the war department still hoped that war might be averted.

A report to the war department containing the result of a careful Investigation by ore of the officers of the deirtn Bt into affairs in Porto Hico say s that if the island is to become a credit to the Caitd Statcsar.d not a coLtir.ua! th irn la her side "it is as certain as the riait r of the sun that the work of reconstruction must be done by men of disinterested niotivet." In concluding his report the officer says that "if the beat men are rot put to this undertaking, but the Hand i allowed to become a political plaything, the i'orto Riean will h.eomc wor.e off than hewas under Spain." What is true of Porto llico is equally true of any other outly ing territory that may BOUM under the control of the government of ti e I'nited States, temporarily or uetNa&rfBtly.
