Bernstein Detachable Beds.


Conceded by all manufac-
turers to be the best bed made
the best feature is, it's
easily detached and taken
apart; no hammer or other
tools required, and when up it
is firm and rigid you've seen
iron beds that were shaky,
and apparently the least
touch would send them on the
floor in a pile. They we're
not Bernstein beds. Taking
into consideration the $500
spring bottom that forms part
of the bed they are no higher
priced than other beds.
Iron, 5000 to $22.so.
All brass, $1,000 to SIS 90.

A little early, but why not
buy now and get your choice?

FOR THE PARIS SHOW.
An Interesting Exhibit From the
the Pennsylvania University.

The University of Pennsylvania has sent
an interesting exhibit to the Paris Expo
sitiCn. Photographs Of the results of the
exploring expeditions sent out By the uni
versity TO various parts OF the world will
be the principal features OF the exhibit.
Five units of space have been granted to
the representatives Of the red and blue,

which will be hung frames containing tniC-
ty-two Photographic engagements. each

archaeological photographs show the eX-
cayations that have been made BY Baoy-
lonian Egyptian. Mediterranean. and
American sections of the Research De-
partment. The views OF the work in an

ing, showing as they do the present condI-
lion OF tire city that hourished at least

three of these views and they will serve
to illustrate perhaps better than anything
else could the recent wonderful growth OF

SUFFRAGE FOR FILIPJNOS.
\ scheme of Municipal Government
Approved by General Otis.

MANILA. April A scheme of munich
pal government prepared by mixed board
of which Senior Arellano is president has
received the approval OF General Otis.
The report of this board provides for the
establishment of municipalities in the first
place, and, secondly, defines how these
governments shall be administered in
liberal ard autonomous spirit This Will
be the first time that the Filipinos have
enjoyed the right of suffrage in the cleo
ton OF officers and the establishment OF
decentralized town government outside the
control or the provincial assembly. Ac-
cording to the scheme the officials OF mu-
inequalities are the proper officials to hold
and spend all public moneys. The scheme
provides ample powers for the alcaldes in
financial matters. and there Is also ample
provision for the hearing of persons who
may object to the arrangements and who
may desire to submit evidence in rebuttal.
Such thing this was never known be-
fore in the Philippines
The plan, which evidently shows the
good intentions of the Americans. retains
the original town limits. The walled city
of Manila. however. is not included in the
scheme. The local government is vested
in the alcalde and council chosen by
qualified voters and municipal lieutenant
the members of the council are to be elect
ed annually. The qualifications of voters
ara that they must be twenty three years
Old that they must have resided at least
six months in the district. or that they
must be persons who pay at least 30 pesos
annually in taxes, or can read, write. and
speak English or Spanish. Candidates
for alcaide. lieutenant, or members of the
council must be at least twenty-six years
old and must have resided at least one
year in the district. In addition they must
be able to speak and write English and
the local dialects.
The local officials, including the lieu
tenant and the councillors, are to serve
without salary. The salaries of the al
caldes and treasurers are to be fixed &C
cording to the resources of the various
towns. but they must not exceed 81 200
per annum,
The provincial governor is eX-oficio
president of the council and has general
supervision over town affairs. He can re-
move officials and appoint new ones. The
commanding officers CT each military dis
trict are required to make regular reports
recommending towns that are capable OF
self government. When this is approved
in any particular town the military officers
must call and canvass the district and
designate three residents who shall ad-
minister the elective oath to all voters.
This order goes into effect Immediately.
It will be welcomed by certain of the Fill
ipinos who have been asking for municipal
privileges

There is room for fear that the 10y
atty of Governor Roosevelt to his amiable
party head chief is not altogether what
the latter might wish. In some alleged
public remarks DR.. David Starr Jordan,
President OF the Stanford University, is
represented to have quoted the Rough
Rider as saying: Mckinley has about as
much backbone as a toy chocolate man
that you see on the confectioner's stand.
He is a dreadful disappointment" In view
of possibility that this story may get
both the college man and the Governor into
trouble with the machine. it is perhaps
well to suggest that Jordan misunderstood
Roosevelt. What the latter probably said
was what he has been credited with say
ing on several occasions of late-some-
thing to the effect that Mckinley has as
much backbone as a chocolate eclair in a
candy shop window"

vote for Mr. Bryan TO the end, and not to
allow the thought of another candidate to
enter their minds The Republican Ad-
ministration and Congress have presented
the American Democracy with the issue
of the century. 1t is The Trusts against
the Constitution Not long ago the Dem
ocratic party was at sea. without defined
policy or a hope, apparently. of settling
its internal dissensions and differences.
But, since the Republicans placed them
selves publicly on record as slaves Of the
trusts and, as such, ready and Wiling to
make war on the public honor. the nation S
plighted faith, and the Constitution itself.
all that is changed. The Democratic
masses are more confident OF victory this
year than they have been before, since
the civil war. Only in the highly inn
probable event that the Hon. William J.
Bryan should not share this absolute faith
in Democratic success at the polls under
his leadership. and voluntarily retire,
would Admiral Dewey or any other aspi-
rant stand the smallest chance at Kansas
City. Even at that, it is doubtful II the
leaders and rank and file Of the organiza-
ton would allow their chosen champion
to withdraw from the fight.
We are driven, then. to the conclusion
that Admiral Dewey. if he is to be can
didate at all. will be an independsn can
didate. and try conclusions with both Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan. In such an
event a most interesting and instructive
three-cornered struggle would follow. 1t
would be one which, in prospectu, Demo-
Gratis could well contemplate with ease of
mind and satisfaction. Certainly Admiral
Dewey is too wise a man not to see, in
the history of the campaign of 1896, that
the Democracy always supports its candi-
dates. The boilers who followed Cleveland
and Carlisle out of the party were too
few and unimportant to count against this
truth. He may. therefore, make up his
mind that his independent candidacy would
be without practical impression upon the
Bryan vote What its effects might be
upon the vote for Mckinley is quite an
other matter We think they would be
very serious. There are thousands, and
perhaps hundreds OF thousands who, for
traditional or sentimental reasons, would
dislike 10 vote the Democratic ticket in
November. but who will never east their
ballots for a man guilty of the two-faced
attitude of Mr.. Mckinley toward Porto
Rico, ard who might be glad to vote for
the victor OF Manila. An independent
ticket with Admiral Dewey at its head
would be vastly popular with that class of
Republicans, and thus. in its political re-
suits aud consequences. it might prove
godsend to trust ridden country.

SEEN AND HEARD AT THE CAPITOL

When the Senate convened yesterday the
desk of Senator Foraker was rendered con-
spicuous by a large bouquet Of beautiful
flowers with which it was adorned. They
were sent by some of his friends here who
took that method of showing their approval
OF the way in which he engineered the
Porto Rican bill to its passage by the Ser
ate. Mr.. Foraker has been the recipient
of numerous congratulations both oral and
by letter, on this same subject, but he said
yesterday that glad as all of the friends of
the measure were when it finally passed
none could have felt as much relieved as
he did when the strain of handling it was
taken from him.
Governor Steunenberg. of Idaho who has
been in attendance on the Occur d Alene
investigation left last night for his home
in Boise. His examination on the witness
stand lasted for nearly two weeks. and In
that time the whole situation in the min
ing camps. as seen from the official point
of view, was thoroughly threshed out At
times the colloquies between him and Rep
resentatives Lentz and SulZer have been
most acrid, and the amour propre was con-
siderabiy strained.
Il have just one question more to ask
you. Governor" announced Representative
Brownlow OF Tennessee. as Mr.. Steunen-
berg was making his adieux to the commit
teemen, its just this: II General Mer-
riam army IS retained in Idaho Will you
use the soldiers in forcing the Democratic
convention to endorse Suffers candidacy
for Vice PRESIDENT"
In the laugh that followed Governor
Steunenberg's answer was inaudible.
After Mr.. Wolcott had made a general
apology in the Senate yesterday for any
thing disagreeable that he might have
said the evening before when the question
of taking up the Quay case was being dis
cussed. Mr.. Gallinger arose and in an
aggrieved tone referred to remarks rela-
tive to him that had been made by the
Senator from Colorado. A general laugh
was caused when Mr. Wolcott good ma
tuFedly interposed, We'll. I've been apol-
ogizing TO everybody who would listen to
me, and l hope the Senator from New
Hampshire will accept what I have said
as applying to him." This reply COM
pietely disarmed Mr.. Gallinger, who smil-
ingly bowed.
When it became known at the Capitol
yesterday that the auditorium in Kansas
City In which the Democratic National
Convention was to have been held had been
destroyed by fire the expressions of re-
greet were general. Republicans spoke of
the destruction of the building as a lamen-
table loss to Kansas City and to the West
in general. because so large and SO con-
venient hall in that part of the country
was calculated to attract many meetings

houses were especially sorry because in

A thoughtful analysis of the organiza-
tiOn of the Republican party. its current
conditions and environment, to our mind
will show that however great may appear
the chance Of beating Mr.. Mckinley at the
polls in November. there is but poor one
for defeating his nomination at Pailadel-
phia in June. This proposition. naturally.
IS subject TO the qualification that, be-
tween nov and the meeting Of the conven-
iion might appear to party leaders so
changed IS to make them anxious TO drop
their present candidate and take up a
new one. But such a resolution would
only come with the belief that the nomi-
nation of William Mckinley would mean
certain defeat. That such a radical
change in the machine programme is pos
s.ble "a OF course suggested b. the uni
vcrsal revolt of Republicans throughout
the United States against the Porto Ricaa
policy and action CT the Administration
and the majority in Congress When the
Presidents personal organ declares that
tine American people will not suffer the
oblcquy this bill casts on their honor and
good fsith to be perDetrated with inpu-
Riy," and thai. ii the Republican ma
jority permits it there will be a reckoning
with The Republican party b. Republicans
IN November" it is evident that conditions
OF Reorganization exist and that they may
TesUit even in oyerthrowing the elaborate
trust and machine edIace which Mark
Hanna has been spending years of his life
in bringing to perfection. So there might
be cataclysm and a landslide TO Admiral
Dewey, or to Dewey and Roosevelt. at
Philadelphia. Such thing is possible
rather than probable.
