Nou and Stylish Necklets.

A new and very fashionable style OF
bracelet and necklet is composed OF
pearls and enamel "bugles"-to use
the old-fashioned word for those long,
uarrow-tube beads, which are again
in evidence. The bugles are plack'
white or colored. Black studded Win
white pearls, and with a black ana
white enamel shamrock pendant, are
charming for mourning. White Deads'
with the faintest pink pearls, and little
rose pendant, OF green bugles punctu-
ated, as it were, with smoked pearls
and with ivy-leaf pendants, are one
and all extremely pretty. TurQuoises
are well used with white or gray en-
amel beads and forget-me-not pend
ants, and any artistic jeweler could
evolve dozen different and equally
attractive modes OF blending the slen'
der tubes and round pearls.

different from those of the FiIipinos but all
alike. owing like allegiance to the government
at Washington, have the great fundamentai
civil rights of American freemen and the con-
stitutional guarantees which Jefferson thought
sufficient for the preservation Of liberty against
possible aggression of government
The two exceptions made in extending the bill
of rights are obviously necessary. The Ameri-
cans who were guaranteed the right to bear
arms were an orderly civilized people. The
barbarians who dwelt near them were as far as
possible kept from bearing arms. In legislating
for the Filpinos as a whole it would be folly
TO give those of them who are barbarians the
constitutional right to arm themselves. 1t is
also obvious that jury trial among people even
the most advanced of whom have not the slight
est conception of Anglo-Saxon Jurisprudence
would be a complete failure. Instead of being
a guarantee of justice. it would amount to
denial of justice. 1t is therefore a matter of
practical necessity that these two features Of
the bill of rights be withheld We guarantee
the substance of Anglo-Saxon liberty, freed
from forms unsuited TO Philippine conditions.
For this discrimination there is ample prece-
dent from the earliest times In 1904 the Terri
tory of Orleans and the District of Louisiana
were organized by Congress. and bin of rights
was given to them but without extending the
1922 Florida Territory was created. the sub
stance of the bill of rights was enacted into
law for the Territory as a guarantee to its in
habitants against tyranny from the Territorial
government set over them without their con-
sent. but a proposition to declare the principles
and prohibitions of the constitution applicable
''as paramount acts was voted down. This, ac-
cording TO Benton, twas tantamount to the ex
''press declaration: You shall have these prin-
'ciples which are in the constitution, but not
AS constitutional right: nor even as a grant

ing from our discretion"
So now in the Philippines. as justice flowing
from our discretion. we offer them practically
the same civil rights which we ourselves enjoy.
We offer them self-government in the full meas
that it may he found practicable. That is all
we have ever done for our own kindred moving
into new territory. 1t is more than we did for
Alaska. IL is in essence all we are doing now
in Arizona or Oklahoma. We could go no fur
Their in Cancellation except TO announce that in
hahitants of United States territory may be
absolved from their allegiance either immed-
ately or in future, as the price of peace and
order: and that doctrine has never yet been
adopted with respect to any State or Territory
or any foot of land over which the United

THE HARNESS HORSE IN NEW-YoRK.

Amateur sport without alloy of professional
ism is steadily gaining ground upon many fields
of outdoor competition and amusement. Among
the trotters of every type New-Iork this year
is setting example TO other communities
more impressively than ever before in the pro-
motion of friendly contests without plans OF
money gains. Not only on the Speedway, but
also on the Empire City course, near Yonkers,
the men who proud of the ownership ana
the driving of the swiftest horses are increasing
in numbers and in enthusiasm.
When the yacht America sped away from
whole fleet in the ifties of the last century and
carried the famous Cup to Yankeeland, which
holds it still. there was no second TO the VIC
torious champion. All rivals were practically
distanced-out of sight. in fact. So it is OF
amateur and professional sport regarding har-
ness horses in Newly FORK. Right here are the
enterprising and openhanded citizens who are
determined to own and drive the best trotters to
be found anywhere; and they have decided that
the Empire City track shall be an amphitheatre
for harness contests, managed in the right
fashion which no other city can surpass. Ihey
have the means and the brains to do what they
intend to do. And they will surely get there
because they are true New Workers.

MR. EDIsON's NEW BATTERY.

The tests of the Edison storage battery which
have just begun have not gone far enough 10
show much more than was known year ago.
1t does not appear for instance, that horse
mower hour can be had with less than a weight
of from fifty-three to fifty-five pounds, which
is only trife lower than that OF two well
known lead batteries The distance which an
electrically propelled vehicle can traverse with
a battery of a given weight depends ON the state
of the roads, the speed developed and the load
TO be moved. Unless the conditions are eXacuy
the same. therefore. it is not easy to make
comparison that signifies much. 1t is gratifying
to be able to record a run of eighty-nVe miles
ON single charge. but In actual service it is not
customary to push an automobile to the limit OF
its power It is usually deemed good policy to
keep little current in reserve AS yet MI
Edison has made no trials of factory made cells
to ascertain their endurance. These are yet to
come. and will no doubt prove instructive. Five
vehicles will not tell as much as seventy-fve,
but the average result will mean more than If
only n single carriage were tested. Since five
thousand miles can scarcely be covered In less
than two or three months, though, the public
must cultivate the virtue of patience. Before the
summer is over it ought to be possible to tell
whether the iron and nickel battery is really
superior to the lead battery or not.
Whatever may be the final outcome of Mr..
Fdison's work this much is certain. Every In
crease in the range of the electric automobile
makes it a more formidable competitor of car
rages driven by steam or gasolene. The latter
at present make a better mileage, but they are
noisier emit more offensive odors and have
more complicated mechanism. Strengthen the
electric vehicle at its one weak point, then, and
its supremacy is assured. Within the last two
years conspicuous improvements have been
made in the lead battery in this respect, and
also in ability to stand hard usage. Whether
the limit has been reached or not it would be
audacious to surmise. Meantime, if Mr.. Edison
really has anything which is appreciably better,
both he and the world are to be congratulated.

history of State, both fascinating and in
structive might be constructed upon the basis
of it's observance of holidays. The number.
origin and purport of such days would, at the
outset. be peculiarly significant Of the origin
and character of the State and of the genius
and temperament of its people. Thus pleasure
loving people would naturally have more Holt
days than a practical Woodworking one. A
State with an established church would prOba-
bly, have more religious holidays than one with
out it. One. with a history Of romance and
heroism, with strongly developed patriotism,
would have certain days of patriotic remem-
brance and rejoicing. Then, too, the changes
effected in the mode of celebration, in the lapse
of time would be Indicative of corresponding
changes of popular sentiment, and perhaps still
more of the Quality of mind which permits or
resists such changes.
The United States has fewer holidays than
some other countries, though there is an agree
able tendency toward their multiplication. 1t
has, however, a somewhat noteworthy variety
of such days, judged by their origin and pur-
port. Two at least are of religious significance,
one is appointed by the laws of nature one is
of purely artificial origin, one commentaries
the birth of the nation and others the births of
some of its greatest men, and one-to-day-is in
memory of the sacrifice of life by which the
integrity of the nation was preserved in a
gigantic war Moreover, there have been marked
changes in the popular attitude toward these
various days, until now it is a commonplace to
say that nobody observes them for what they
originally were. That is not true, of course.
Such generalities seldom are. But it does con-
tain a good deal of truth Some of our holidays
have been so perverted in spirit as to be quite
unacceptable, save as they are identified upon
the calendar
1t may be that of them all this one. which is
one Of the youngest of them, has thus been
most changed. At first it was the most solemn
of all: but now it is, with the majority of the
people, one of the merrest. Once all the flags
were at halfmast, and dirges We're played, but
now most flags fiutter mast high, and the bands
discourse two steps and "ragtime." Then the
people wendell their way to the cemeteries;
now they flock to the backgrounds and race
tracks. 1t was founded as Loly day; it is per-
petuated as jolly day. These changes are not
universal. To a certain extent the day is this
year what it was a score or more of years ago.
But in the decided majority Of cases such
changes have occurred, and that majority is
steadily growing year by year The visitor from
Mars-who has taken the place of Macaulay's
New -Zealander-wou assnredly not perceive
in to-day's crowded scenes of merrymaking on
land and sea any trace of national mourning for
the dead or of any high resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain"
Against such a change. however, we would
not altogether protest. 1t would be well IL there
could be more general recognition of the true

THE "BILL OF RIGHTS" FOR FiLTPINOS.

THE "BTLL OF RIGHTS" FOR FTLTPINOS.
The cherished notion that the United States
Is trying 10 enslave the Fllipinos received
rude shock yesterday. Senator Lodge offered
an amendment TO the Philippine Government
bill extending to the inhabitants OF the Islands
the "biii OF rights" of the United States con-
stitution, excepting the clauses guaranteeing
Jury trial and the right TO bear arms. The
amendment was accepted without opposition
and incorporated into Vie pending measure.
In the face OF this action there will doubtless
still be persons in this country who will COM
plain that our government offers the Filipinos
no promise of goodwill and Cancellation, no
rights worthy of free men, nothing but such
benevolent despOtism as may suit after they
surrender themselves unreservedly into our
hands. A certain number Of malcontents would
not be satisfied with any possible measure in
dealing with the Philippine problem. No candid
seeker for truth, however. can fail TO see that
this amendment gives to the Filipinos so far as
IT is possible, the very guarantees against gov
ernmental tyranny which our own people have
had against abuse Of power by the federal gov
eminent What more can the Fillpinos ask and
what more can anybody ask for them?
The bitterest critics of the Philippine policy
say that they no longer question the title of the
United States to the islands They are ours
and our government is entitled 10 the allie
glance or the inhabitants Nevertheless they say
that instead of trying TO force them into I'M
conditional surrender. should conciliate
them. and by treating them as really free men
give them reason to lay down their arms As
Q matter Of fact every word ever said by our
government to the Filipinos has been one of
Cancellation, promising them protection in their
rights OF person and property. and self govern
ment IN such measure they are able TO exer-

Uses, the critics complain. and it is urged that
we should be true TO American principles and
recognize that the Filipinos have the same
