1 CRITICAL DAY At THE CAPE.

To-day is a most important day in South Al
rica. 1t sees the reassembling of the cape ai ,

dgv if is of great Importance to the Whoie bri'
ish Empire. and of no little interest 10 all Ino
world For it is TO give an answer 10 the que'-
tion how the Dutch of Cape Colony, ana eSpe-
.ia11x- tho AfriI,andPr Bond. will regard ana
71 with tho now, status of affairs. 1t is known
+ba+ +ba Prime Minister cannot command the
s,1nnort OF more than a small minority OF lis

that nolicy will be is an interesting SUBJECT VI
sroc,,,otion T is well known that influential
leaders of the Afrikander Bond have htherto
nIotted secession from the British Empire, and
that during the late war they gave all poSslple
symnathv and encouragement to the Beers. IN
+ba later stages of the conflict they were the
hardest obstacles the British Government hdu
10 overcome
The fear that they would maintain this hos
flo a++itude. and make more difficult the restora-
+ion of peace and the settlement Of the issues
of the war. recently led many prominent men
Of the Cane to advocate a suspension of the con-
stitution. so that the Afrikander Bond might
not obstruct or misuse the proceedings OF far-
lament. After much deliberation MIR. Cham-
berIaiu decided not to adopt that extreme
course. but TO trust the loyalty and good sense
Of the Cape Parliament and its Dutch members
In that he must be regarded as having done
wisely and well. But the vindlcatlon OF MS
course lies in the hands of the Dutch members
of The Care Parliament to-day. 1t rests with
them to prove that confidence in their loyalty
and good sense was not misplaced. It is to be
anticipated that they will give such proof. In
doing so they viii follow the advice Of General
Botha, who exhorted his countryInen TO drop
nolitics and ioin hands with the British in work
ing for the common good of South Africa, ana
tbev will emulate the spirit Of the gallant De
Wet, who said that If any Boer proves false
sto his oath of allegiance TO the British Crown,
"I. Christian De Wet. will be the first to arrest
him with my OWE hands ard bring him to
Judgment"

the one wisely followed in last sessions pIo"u

the Democratic leaders know in their hedl'S

tween the two parties Studies like Mr. Lodge
win continue to enforce this conclusion in spite
of the protestations Of Senator Edward w car

HIGH PRICES FOR FISH.

Tho veakfsh and the bluefsh have been
running in such myrads off the Atlantic coast
that fishermen have been catching them py inc
ton. These spoils OF the sea furnish dehclcus anu
wholesome food with the simplest OF coohine:
II would be of much advantage to the poor
they could get plentiful supply OF fresh nSh
et this time for n few cents a pound out the
r,e+bods Of distribution are faulty. The cost OF
ca+cbiDc them is small when they run In Dig
schools. The cost of bringing them by water
to Manhattan is small. The fishermen VINO
catch them receive small prices 1or thelr
fakincs The expense of sending the nsh from
the wholesale markets to any part OF thls Town
is slight Nevertheless when the hSh reAcn Ihe
consumer the figures q pound are out OF Ill
proportion to the various items or actual OK
renditure which come between the net ana Tue
table
The fisheries of the ocean are not wheat
farms or peach orchards bought and sold or
rented at large sums for every acre Ihey are
not parceiled out to a host of competing bidders
with big bank accounts The plains of the At
Iantic are not fenced or staked out They are
NOT surveyed allotted or rented. They are free
TO all comers.
Why is If then when edible fishes are most
abundant off our coasts, when they are run
ming in schools 50 numerous they cannot be
counted, that all over this town, in the tene-
ment quarters as well as in the districts occu-
pied by people in comfortable circumstances
the retail prices for salt water fish are so ex-
travaGantly in excess OF the amounts which the
fishermen themselves get? The discrepancies
are so wide as almost TO stagger belief New
York has such a location that fish ought to ne
as cheap here in every part of the town at any
time of the year as in any other metropolis on
the globe. What good reason is there that prices
should be kept so high at the retail markets
and fish stands? Ice is cheap this year.

4 TIMELY c1HPAFGy sTUDF.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge has made use
.ul and timely contribution 10 current political
discussion 10y summarizing in a recent maga-
zine article the political and civil rights con-
ferred by Congress at its last session on the in
habitants OF the Philippine archipelago. The
Philippine Civil Government act largely re-
written IN conference committee and passed in
1he rush and hurry of an impending adjourn
Ynent failed perhaps, TO attract the careful
study it deserved as the first positive step tow
ard the creation of a settled civil order in the
most vexing of our insular dependencies. Elab-
crate and highly technical in many OF It's chap
fers its true scope has never been fully appreci-
ated by public mystifed and doubtless wearied
by the senseless and irrelevant opposition it
encountered in both branches of Congress. 1t is
doubtful, indeed, whether some of the iercest
critics of the civil government act ever realized
exactly what it aimed at or promised to accom-
plisb; for since its passage Democratic leaders
who opposed it have differed absolutely, not
only as to its meaning, but as to its value as an
issue in party politics
Mr.. Lodge in his review outlines the liberal
scheme Of rights and guarantees which the act
of July carries. The recognition and exten-
sion OF the temporary civil government the Gre
alton Of an insular legislature, with an Assem-
bly, elected by popular vote, representation by
commissioners at Washington. the establish
ment OF a revenue and customs system, ma
tionalzation Of the friar lands, the enactment
of mining and land entry laws, revision Of the
coinage, investiture with all the personal lib
erty guarantees Of the constitution except the
right tc bear arms. and the right OF trial by
1ury-these are the measure OF this country's
generosity in meeting the Filipino appeal for
q larger share in the responsibilities and oppOr-
tunities OF self government. II the substitute
bill prepared by the Democratic members of the
Senate Philippines Committee and the House
Committee on Insular Affairs offered anything
more Indispensable to Filipino progress, no one
who talked on the opposition side succeeded IN
developing IT, even the most strenuous OF the
ansiimperialistic orators laying no serious stress
on the Democratic party's shadowy and fan
tastfc promise OF future native independence.
As the chairman Of the Senate Philippines
Committee Justly says, it was an extraordinary
thing that the civil government act should
have met with such violent resistance from
persons in and out Of Congress who say they
''are opposed to military rule. and are crying
'out so loudly about the injustice we have dealt
'out TO the Fiipinos": and he pertinently adds:
No Asiatic people has ever had so large de-
Tree OF popular representative government either
tfveE or promised to them. II is a great expert
party, at least, believes that with time and pa
uence, both In large measure. can solve the
crooiern OF the government Of Eastern tropical
possessions In accordance with American prtn-
cfples-
AS matter of fact, no other way lies open
