Fllplnos and self-oovernment.


In the course of the debate on tho
Philippines Tariff bill in the United |
States Senate, Monday, Mr.. Turner of
Washington maintained that as the
Filipinos had established an indie
pendent government in the islands
prior to the fall of Manila, the United
States, under the principle of inter
national law, had no right in the
islands. Tho Filipinos, he commended,
had established a republic on January
2lst, 1859, and that under that COVER
ment peace and order were maintained.
And in the face of this statement,
which is borne out by facts, the advo-
Gates Of Imperialism and foes Of free
government will insist, as justitica-
ton OF the indefensible course Of this
country, that the Filipinos are not
fitted for self government But what
force does such an argument possess in
view of tho fact that the Filipinos
have not had the opportunity to show
whether or not they are 50 fitted2 Ger
tain it is that they possessed the in
telligence to formulate and establish u
system of republican government, but,
right at the threshold OF its operations
it was met with the armed opposition
of this government--the government of
the United States Of all others-and the
experiment was annihilated by the
rude force of war.
1t is doubtful If these imperialists
whose stock argument is that the Fill
pinos are not fit fer self government
really believe it themselves, but hang
to it as good enough until something
better is in sight. Perhaps the real,
underlying reason for their insane in.
sistence upon course at once so unjust
and unAmerican is that they cannot
bear to lose the s20 600, 600 which wa:
so foolishly raid to Spain for the priv
lege of taking an Improbable anc
troublesome revolution off her hands
and relieving her, also, Of the iGnomin!
that attached to her Part in that revo
luton. But if their parsimonious soul
are vexed and worried over a fear 0
losing this money, may they not con
sole themselves with the REASONABLE
+ probability that Philippines Republic
$ would willingly assume the repayment
/ of the $50, coo, COO, with interest fror
, the time the expenditure was made?
If this is the real reason for the will
8 and Impractical opposition to Filipin
a independence, let those who endors
q the mistaken policy of our government
q come out and say so. They will hav
to dc something, as their senseless pie
4 that the Filipinos are not fitted fo
i self-government is not only wor
q threadbare, but has been so thorough
A riddled by the real facts of the situa
v tion that it has not a leg left to stan
: upon.

\ few days ago pigeon owned by
William Cole of l7l7 Tatnall street
unconsciously Matched a chicken and
since then has regarded her nest with
a great deal Of suspicion. A hen had
laid an egg in the pigeons nest and
the pigeon thinking it was her own
egg Matched il. When the chicken
came forth the pigeon was frightened
and sprang from her nest, at the same
time knocking the chicken out on to

young chick on the floor shortly after

A physician Of Brooklyn, DR., James
Edwin Russell, has publicly offered
to submit his body to his fellow
physicians for the purpose of vivi-
section, in the interests of science. He
agrees to continue the service for a
year, unless death sooner intervenes,
with the stipulation that provision be
made for his family. Administration
lists will doubtless consider DR.. Rus.
sells extraordinary proposition more
humane than a continued imposition
of the cruelties of vivisection upon
helpless animals.

The New Carriers in This County to be
Under Civil Service Regulations.
Special Agent Plummer of the United
States Postal Service will be in this
county in a few days and lay out the
new routes for the rural delivery mail
service. A route was laid out at Kia-
mensi last week and civil service
examination taken by five applicants
for carriers. The result will be made
known this week.
The routes for the county will he
laid out us fast as possible and under
the recent law will be under the direc-
ton OF the civil service rules. The
carriers in Kent county will not be
examined, as they we're taken in under
1.-THE blanket" system, having been
appointed previous to the changing of
the law. The members of the House
of Representatives at Washington are
working hard to place the value of the
services of each rural carrier at 5000
per annum. The routes are to be at
least % miles in length.

Monday Mr.. Andrew Carnegie sent
a check for $4,000 to the Stevens In
stitute of Technology in Hoboken, N.
j., as an endowment for the Carnegie
laboratory Of engineering, which was
dedicated few nights ago. Three
years ago Mr.. Carnegie gave S65, 600 to
build this laboratory, and now his
further beneficence insures its success

alludes to his gift to Stevens as a
"trifiing'' affair, but the managers Of
the institute will view it in different
light. ......-...-

there are disadvantages about the

the desire TO twit that exists in the

COON COUNTY THE BATTLE GROUND
ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE SURELY REPUB-
CAN-EXPECT To GAIN CON
GRESSNIEN.

Chicago. Nov. 1T is admitted by the leaders
of both parties that the chief fight in Illinois is
in this city and Cook County. Both parties are
claiming the county by pluralities ranging from
10000 to 10000 The Republican managers,
who say that they have made careful canvasses
of the city and county. declare that they are
absolutely certain OF victory, while the Demo-
cratic leaders assert that the strong union labor
representation on the county ticket coupled
with the fact that the Democratic county plat
form pledges the party to public ownership Of
public utilities, will bring them a stronger labor
vote than they have ever had before, and assure
them of victory.
The most important fight of the election is on
the Congressman. Both parties claim victory in
the With District. where ex-Congressnan Lori
mer is making hard fight to regain the seat
he lost at the last Congress election but in all
the other Congress districts of Cook County the
parties practically agree in their predictions To
the Republicans are conceded the Ist, lid. lid
and IXth districts while Democratic victory is
conceded in the WITH With and With districts.
The State delegation in Congress consists OF
eleven Republicans and eleven Democrats. The
Republicans say that they will gain at least
eight Congressman throughout the State giving
tnem nineteen representatives in the next
Congress The Democrats do not claim that
they Will have a majority of the next State dele
cation. but say that there is no possible chance
OK the Republicans gaining more than two or
three Congressman.
IN the fight for the State legislature which
Will elect United States Senator it's next
session. the Republican claims in advance
Of those made by the Democrats. The Republi-
cans say that, including doubtful candidates.
they will have joint ballot 121 members Of
the legislature. while the Democrats assert that
they will have 1OI Democratic votes for the next
Senator. The Republican estimate NAV he ex-
aeEerated but there is every probability that
they Will control the next legislature and with
OUT doubt will elect the next United States Sen
