pAo1F1CATIoy THROUGH PROSPERITY.

Craftsmanship is taking up the work
begun by soldiers and sailors. That is the pur-
port Of the Senate'S action, which will begin
tomorrow, concerning the Philippine tariff
The islands have been, save for few minor
exceptions, pacifed by the strong action OF our
army and navy But it would be madness TO
attempt TO hold them permanently in such
way. Involuntary must be changed for volun-
tary acquiescence in American government and
that is to be done by making that government
practically and directly benefcent TO the people
Prosperity is, after ALL one OF the greatest of
permanent pacifying agents. long step tow
ard bringing the benefcence of civilized govern
ment home to the Filiplnos taken in the
establishment of civil government in the islands.
Another and supplementary step is TO be taken.
in accord with the advice and request of the
civil government, in providing the islands with
an adequate revenue and in establishing fiscal
system which shall open the way to industrial
and commercial prosperity.
The plan which will be brought into consider
alton tomorrow by Senator Lodge is simple
and logical one which should prove effectual.
1t establishes tariff system between the United
States and the Philippines, instead of the free
trade which now prevails. and thus provides for
a much needed increase in insular revenues.
But in order to give a good market to Philip
pine commerce it provides for q % per cent
reduction OF tariff rates in favor thereof
That will doubtless give n healthful stimulus to
Philippine industry and commerce, especially
commerce with the United States. While thus
granting the Philippines a concession in our
own markets, however the United States will
require no special privileges there. The Philip
pine tariff will remain intact and will be main
tanned against the United States as we'll as
toward the rest Of the world. In that way the
expressed or implied promise Of an open door
to the worlds commerce in those islands will
be most scrupuously fulfilled, in letter and in
spirit
1t is agreeable to be assured, through our
ened scheme Is practically certain to be adopted.
The alternative to it proposed by the oppo-
stiOn is absolute free trade system which
neither this country its insular possession
wants, and which would be benefcent to
neither. Indeed, the very evils which some of
the opposition affect to apprehend as a result
of the system proposed by Senator Lodge would
obviously result, in most marked and aggra-
waited degree, from the establishment of free
trade relations. So far as the United States is
concerned, there is no ground for apprehension
merce can do us no harm. 1t Is really the well
fare of the islands that must be considered
They must have a revenue sufficient for their
needs, and they must have a market which
will assure them profits and prosperity Both
of these essentials, it may we'll be believed. will
be assured TO them by the proposed enactment

A THIRD SHAMROCK.

Few men have ever wanted anything more
than Sir Thomas Upton wants the Americas
Cup. But it is a worthy ambition, and the
report that the irrepressible owner Of two de-
feated Shamrocks has ordered a third to be
made ready for the summer of 1903 will in
crease American admiration Of his pluck. The
announcement was not a surprise, for Sir
Thomas had let it be known that he expected
to have the pleasure Of making another bid for
the famous trophy; but he has appeared to be
quite willing that some else should make
the next attempt, and has probably meant TO
withhold challenge for next year until he had
been convinced that he not interfering
with other plans. Certainly there is nobody
who better deserves a clear field or would be
more cordially welcomed TO the scene of many
gallant but unsuccessful endeayOrs.
1t will specially interest yachtsmen every
where to learn that Sir Thomas has decided to
place the order for his third Shamrock with
Fife, who built the first, but that Fife will
have the valuable advice of Watson, who de-
signed the second. That is undoubtedly a strong
combination, which will command the profound
respect of all yachting experts in this country.
Indeed we are rather amused to observe an
immediate revival Of the propensity to forecast
defeat which has been manifested as often as
challenge for the Cup has been accepted. Or
course. there is ample warrant for expecting
Fife to turn out a formidable racer; but, to
say the least present dependency over the
prospects OF defence is n trif1e premature. 1t
may be worth while, on the other hand. to
remark that If 1t is safe to judge the future by
the past profound and universal gloom would
not descend upon the United States IL Sir
Thomas Upton should carry home the reward
of his long toll next year. 1t is q fact, whether
it imports a lack of patriotism or not, that
good many of our people did not hesitate to say
that they hoped he would win the Cup last fall
and there is reason to believe that a great many
more would have easily reconciled themselves
to its loss as soon as the agony was over; for.
in addition TO natural sympathy with man
who had commended himself in an extraordi-
nary degree to the goodwill of Americans. it
was thought that sport and science would both
be promoted by transfer of the International
contest to foreign waters.
1t will be generally assumed at once that
Herreshoff will be called on to produce a new
defender; and in spite of his failure last year
TO improve upon his latest masterpiece, faith in
his ability to accomplish that difficult feat next
year will not be lacking. He is not the man 10

disappointing performances of the Constitution
nor were her deficiencies so well established as
to necessitate the conclusion that he reached

OPEN STREETS.

Builders with a pull have been obstructing
the streets in manner altogether inexcusable
The Tribune has repeatedly denounced this
grievous abuse. SO has ''The Herald" This
imposition will speedily be swept away. Build
ing operations of the most extensive kind can
be carried on and completed on Manhattan ISL
and without serious embarrassment to traffic.
That fact has been proved beyond dispute again
ana again in this crowded borough in the con-
struction of gigantic buildings.
Contractors Of the highest class have taken up
and finished huge skyscrapers in Manhattan
without interfering with the general use of the
streets. Builders of petty minds, who have
been bold in defying municipal ordinances have
choked the roadways with heaps of building
materials Of all kinds and have not been called
to account because they had strong political. in

In respect to the Dominion OF Canada and the
Commonwealth IF AustraIiap

IN respect 10 the DoInlHlOn OIL Cdnddd anu
Commonwealth of Australia?
We are not sure that critics of recent British
policy have always taken this matter sufficiently
into account. They have dwelt upon the oppo-
sftion 10 the Chamberlain-M -Milner policy which
has been manifested by the Beers and by some
of the Afrikanders OF Cape Colony. But what
of the at least equally numerous British and
Dutch cOlonists in South Africa who cordially
approve and support that policy? Certainly
their opinions and feelings and desires are not
10 be ignored. 1t is easy TO point 10 the disap-
prOval Of British policy expressed by conu-
mental peoples who have been pretty consist
emily disappearing of British policy for many
years. But what of the spontaneous and en-
thusiastic approval Of it manifested by the
great British colonies? Between the two, tow
ard which should a British minister the more
incline? The changes have been rung upon the
way in which continental monarchies sympa-
thize with Boer democracies. and the regret
with which they view Great Britain's attempt
to extinguish the struggling republics. Granted
that kings and emperors have suddenly become
champions of democracy, what are we to say OF
the attitude of the great democracies of Canada
and Australia? And to which set of counsellors
should the British statesman pay the more
heed?
To these questions Mr.. Chamberlain gives no
uncertain answer He proposes that the Brit
ish Empire shall find itself" If Great Britain
is to suffer isolation it is not TO be isolation
from her colonies. II ever the United Kingdom
has to fight for life, he means to make sure that
it shall be, he says. supported by the SONS
of Britain in every quarter of the globe" OF
course TO recognize this policy. and 10 regard 1t
as logical. is not to apotheosize Mr.. Chamber
lain. 1t is quite possible for a statesman TO
rally an empire TO the support of course Of
action which at the beginning marked with
grievous errors 1t is possible for one in regard
ing the sentiments of his own country to be too
little regardful Of the susceptibilities of others
A statesman may strike heroic note in de-
claring that he will not accept any lessons at
the hand of a foreign minister, and yet it might
be better for him to avoid more scrupulously
any possible occasion for the administering of
such lessons. That. however. is apart from the
present point. The feature of the case is that
Mr.. Chamberlain makes his appeal first of all
TO his own land and kinsfolk. and seeks to shape
his course according 10 their desires, leaving
all other lands and peoples to secondary consid-
GRAFTON. That is logical and consistent policy
and it appears TO be meeting with encourag-
ing degree of success.

other daily journals have denounced the wrongs
and abuses which have been so conspicuous LII
the last four years in the city's streets as prac

But all that sort of thing must stop now.
New buildings and repairs and changes on olu

OPEN PRIMARY ESSENTIAL.

A bill has been introduced in the legislature
by Assembyman Weekes granting TO the Citi-
zens Union. and perhaps to other Independent
organizations, the right TO nominate by conven-
ton. 1t is a curious fact that the bill does not
provide in any way for safeguarding the choice
of delegates TO such conventions. Coming from
a reform organization, this is surprising, for no
greater advance in election machinery has been
devised than the open enrolment and the open
primary under the authority and protection Of
the law. To abandon this system, or to permit
any political organization nominating through
conventions to abandon it. would be step back
ward, which no good citizen should be willing
to tolerate
The abuses under the old system were
so great that there were few who did not well
come the reform brought about by the law of
1898 with the amendments of 1899. In the old
days packed conventions, padded primary rolls
and improper exclusion of citizens desiring to he
heard in party councils were common political
Incidents. They were not confined to any party
or any particular district They appeared wher-
ever factional party feeling ran high, and they
were used to promote what appeared to be good
causes as well those which were base. It is
no answer, therefore TO the charge that It would
be a backward step TO permit nominations by
Citizens Union convention, made up of delegates
chosen in any way the organization pleased, TO
say that this is reform organization and would
not stoop TO unworthy practices. Human nature
is human nature If the Citizens Union desires
to nominate by convention it should at least
come under the laws which have been found
necessary and beneficial in regulating the con-
duct of other parties.

PLAYING TO THE COLONIES.

Mr. Chamberlain's rejoinder TO Count Won
Biilow is most effective. from the British point
of view. The ablest parliamentary controver-
rialist in the empire is always at his best in the
thick OF fight At the present time, with both
domestic and foreign storms raging about him,
he almost oufdoes himself in the dexterity with
(which he transforms indiscretion into a pa
kriotfc service, and makes what was meant for
n rebuke seem praise and yindication. That is
precisely what he did in his Birmingham speech
IN reply to the German Chancellor. With few
sncisive pIlrases-and not mere phrases, either
he rallied to himself the support of his country
men rs never before in the present crisis and
sounded keynote that may well serve a
standard of British public utterance. He did
bot. be said depreciate the Importance of the
GOODWILL OF foreign nations. But there is he
added, ''something more important 1t is the
rsffection and the confidence of our kinsfolk
Sacross the sea-
In those words spoke the truly imperial min
bster. Mr.. Chamberlain has been nkened by
some 10 Lord North. The utterance we have
quoted shows the one to be at the very
antipodes of the other. 1t was Norths policy
TO disregard the sentiments of the colonies 1t is
NJ Chamberlain's to defer thereto and TO let
the colonies largely shape the policy of the
United Kingdom and OF the empire The re-
suit of North's faulty was the irreparable
alienation OF the greatest British colony ever
founded. II is Mr.. Chamberlain's reasonable
expectation that the result OF his policy will be
q great strengthening OF the ties which bind
Kingdom and colonies into one harmonious and
3ndissoluble empire There is current phrase
descriptive OF certain type of public man
touched with charlatanry, that he is playing
10 the galleries" There will he no reproach and
no imputation Of chariatanry in saying that
Mr. Chamberlain is playing TO the colonies. For
the colonies OF Great Britain are legitimate
object Of statesmanlike attention. Upon them,
upon their continued loyalty and increasing
prosperity, the welfare of the United Kingdom
itself largely depends. Froude recognized and

The chances are that compulsory arbitration
would be rejected by the majority of the
congress- If so. Argentina would doubtless
acquiesce in that result. Or, If she saw ht TO
make a compulsory arbitration treaty with one
or two or half dozen States, she might do so
without offence to any. So Chill would do well
to withdraw her objections to considering the
subject If it were brought before the congress
and defeated. Chill would thus win a decided
victory. If it were adopted, she could without
offence decline to be bound by it. But for
obstreperous objection 10 its consideration there
can be no valid excuse. Gag rule is out of place
in a free assembly.
