Bishop Hamilton, of the Methodist church. gave the
country something of shock in making the statement
that the question may be settled by nermarrlage OF
whites and backs-but hardly be said for him that
he has contributed much the settlement of the prob

HELP FOR THE FILIP1Nos.

1t appears from the communication from Gov latt,
at Manila which transmitted to congress by Presi-
dent Roosevelt Friday that the appointed time for
the government Of the United States to to the rescue
of the principal industries of the Philippines and readus
the tariff laws affecting sugar and tobacco.
The fact that it would be necessary for the
federal exercise those paerna functions
which dear the heart of the Republican has ben
self-evident for time But it has been matter Of
difficulty for the Republicans body to forego
those ideas which they hold to lie at the very foundation
of government-proecon for the few at the OF
the many
These difficulties have been very largely overcome by
the timely discovery through the government agents in
the Philippines of conditions which may only be rem
and tobacco coming into the United States from our ISL
and possessions. Famine stalks abroad in the islands
of the East and unless remedial legislation is at once
passed the tobacco and sugar and
starve.
1t has frequently occurred that Providence has res
cued the Republican party from dilemma There was
fortuitous filling of the dinner pail at critical juno
ture Now the tariff must be broken down thousands
will starve
But if the tariff wall is thrown down for the behoof
of the Filipino may not hope that breaches may be
made to the uplifting of the white in this country?
Let not be captious then Let US accept without
question the report of Gov Taft in the hope that other
wonders may be performed and further breach made
in Republican traditions and tariffs.

The Empire Theater Stock company
will have a new leading man next sea-
son-probably young Irving. who has
made a big hit at the Duke Of York's

resignation has been accepted and he

another management next fall. His
last appearances at the Empire will
be made in The Unforeseen" now run
ming along to record receipts at that
establishment
AS a rule, when what is known as a
big show comes to New York and
scores triumphantly, the management
begins cutting down its expenses by
letting out supposedly superfuouS
members of the chorus. Frederick
Hamlin, owner of "The Wizard of o."
which is having such a brilliant career
at the new Majestic theater, has other
views, and. instead of cheapening his
entertainment. has been adding to It's
expenses by enlarging the chorus and
putting in some special features. Stage
Director Julian Mitchell is now aTrang-
ing new dance feature which will still
more enhance the liveliness and at
tractiveness of this vivid show piece.

DON'T RUSH THE SEASON.

The experience of the past week has taught the peo-
pie resident in this climate that there are things
which must not be gone at precipately by the

donts which should be observed this season of the
