GOVERNMENT OF THE PHILIP
PINES.

President Schurman, of the Philippine
commission, puts a qlietus on the Demo-
cratic plant about the proposed govern
lnent OF the islands. He says the work
OF tile commission was to find ont what
kind Of government the intelligent and
civilized Filipinos wanted, and, having
found that, they reported it to President
AIckiney and he appr wed il. That i
the proposed government ior the Philip
pines. Nh. schurman says:
1t ns suppose that il great Filipino
Fublicist, the NEST eminent that has ever
been among them, hal written such Z
scheme oil government. l.et us suppose
lie had oallined 1t at time when Spain
was absolutely at the mercy OF the Fill
pinos, Dewey having destroyed the
power OF their fleet, Let us suppose that
that man was the prime minister Of
Aguinald0, for instance. You would say
tliat the demands of such all individual,
in the ma ter Of government, would rep
resent the most extravagant requests
which the Fllipinos could make from
any sovereign power in the matter OF
elf-goyernment.
What | have supposed is fact. Petro
A. Palermo, Aguinaldo's prime minister
since May last, did outline such scheme
OF Government. And have, in the Sec
tions on government in the first volume
of our report, made Paterno's scheme the
basis Of the scheme Of government which
we recommended to the President. The
President approved of it, and he is send
ing commission to the Philippines to
put it in force.
What rot, the Democratic ranting ovel
the alleged tyranous American govern.
ment of the Philippines, lie, in the face
OF such testimony as this! 1t makes the
W! o'e Democratic scheme appear to bt
one OF systematic lying.

his attention lie at once became inter-
ested in it, and suggested that he would
like to meet and talk with the members
OF the Board OF Education who are in
charge OF the matter. An effort was made
to have that meeting occur on Saturday.
President Shortlidge and Chairman
Turner, OF the building committee, were
ready to go to Philadelphia, but Mr..
Aldcks' previous engagements inter-
fered. 1t is expected that the consulta-
tion with Mr.. Addicks will be held dur
ing this week, and, as the members OF
the board have no doubt about their
ability to meet the legal requirements OF
the case, it now appears that the long,
costly and disappointing delay in the
completion of the new building may sbe
avoided.
This will be good news to the teachers
and pupils OF the crowded primary and
grammar schools, and particularly good
news to the pupils who are anticipating
seats in the new school building at the
beginning of the autumn term.
We sincerely hope all these glad anti
cipations will be realized.

DEATH OF MRS. WILSON.

The saddest news of the day in Della
ware, is that brought from Matanzas,
Cuba, telling of the tragic death OF Mrs.
Ella Andrews Wilson, the wife OF Cen
eral James H. Wilson, governor OF Ma
tauzas and Santa Clara provinces. Mrs.
Wilson was the daughter OF Colonel John
Andrews, the first commander OF the
First Regiment Delaware Volunteer In
fantry, of the civil war. She was born at
Stockford, Colonel Andrews country
seat near this city, about 30 years ago,
and has lived in this State all her life
until her husband was appointed to the
governorsEip OF Matanzls, She was a
most estmab,e womaa widely known
and highly esteemed. The news Of her

THE HIGH SCHOOL MATTER

The statement, published elsewhere in
THE SuS this morning, that Mr.. j. Ell
ward Addioks offers to furnish the
money to complete the new High School
building in this city, is authorized by
Mr.. Addicks. The probable suspension
OF work on the new building was brought
to his attention several weeks ago, and
he then said to the writer that he would
willingly aid the Board Of Education in
the completion of the building if there
were no legal obstacles in the way of do
ing it. Inquiry about the matter elected
the information that in all probability
the local banks would furnish the money,
and the matter was dropped.
The action of the banks, however, in
declining to furnish the needed money
renewed the opportunity for an offer Of
help which he had formerly suggested,
and the mater being again brought to

prophet on the street the other day. He
said: Look here, you are a prophet. !
remember that you have told me several
things that Lave come true long while
after you told them to me, and | am In
cined to believe that you get news that
other people don't get; now tell me, do
you think these Union Republicans can
poll any more votes this fall than they
did at the city eection?"
"Do |? Well they will and don't you
forget it. They will poll ten to one
more votes than they did in June
"You don't mean ill'

are just going to wipe the earth up with

prophet. If the Sunday letter writers
want crisp, current political news to dis
place their stale oft repeated guesses
they had better hunt up this prophet
He is in the current and knows the drift

A REMARKABLE RECORD.
Fergus Ham ahan Works Three Days
in Twenty Years.

A remarkable record is that which has
been made by Fergus Hanrahan Of No.
2l59 Walnut street. 1t is said that
Fergus has worked but two or three days
in twenty years and the .offense was only
committed recently.
Several days last week Fergus with
several other men turned the draw on
Third street bridge while the machinery
was out of order and being repaired. 1t
is also said that Fergus told his wife that
he was working in New Jersey and
would take enough lunch with him of
mornings to Last until the New Jersey
boat came in Of evenings. The day that
the bridge was put in operation again
Fergus quit work. He was so completely
tired out and exhausted that he fell in
the B. & o. dock on the south side of the
bridge and it was with much difficulty
that he was rescued by several COM
panions. He has, however, become
recoucied to work and has accepted a
position as watchman on the monitor
Ajax at Pennsgrove. Fergus will start
on his new duties in few days.
