NO SPECIAL COINAGE
American Curr .ncy for the Philip.
 pines

Washlngton-The house leaders went
 down to signal defeat when the
 house by a vote of 146 to l2S, rejected
 the Philippine coinage bill reported
 by the insular affairs committee and
 adopted the substitute offered by the
 minority, for the introduction of
 American currency and the American
 coinage system in the islands. The
 insular committee includes in it's
 membership the chairmen of the most
 powerful committees of the house, MT.
 Cannon, chairman of appropriations
 MT. Hit, chairman of foreign affairs;
 Mir. Payne, chairman of ways and
 means; MT. Heppburn, chairman of
 interstate commerce, and Mir. Tawney, chairman of the committee on exposi-
 tions. They reported a bill to estab-
 fish the gold standard in the islands and to authorize the coinage of silver pesos of 4l6 grains, to be made legal tender at the rate of two pesos for one gold dollar. The majority members made gallant fight for the bill, but considerable number of Republi- cans, twenty-eight on the final vote, under the lead of MT. Hill of Con- necticut Mir. Fowler of New Jersey and MT. Mccall of Massachusetts joined with the Democrats and carried through the substitute.
 The fact that Secretary Shaw and other high treasury officials were quoted on the floor as favoring the substitute aided in the overthrow of the committee bill.
 Their opinions were advanced as against those of Governor Taft and other members of the Philippine com 
 The substitute passed provides that the lawful money of the United States shall be legal tender in the Philip pines and declares the coinage laws of the United States 10 be in full force there. It provides for the redemption of the Mexican and Spanish silver, not including any Mexican pesos inn ported into the islands after March 15, 1902, at their bullion value as declared from time to time by the Philippine the silver coin authorized by the Philippine government act to be redeemed at the rate of two pesos for $1, of the United States currency. After six months no. coin except that of the United States shall be legal ten der, with the following proviso:
 "That all debts, except those other- wise provided for in the contract, ow- ing on the date when this act shall take effect or contracted within six monhs thereafter, shall be payable in he silver coin now in circulation in he Philippine islands or in the law ,ul money of the United States at th' ate of exchange prescribed at the .ime of the Philippine commission.
 The bill provides that the pesos coined under the Philippine govern nen act and the Mexican and Spanish ,oin, when redeemed or received for public duties on the above basis shall oe coined in United States coin at the mint authorized to be established in Manila.

 taking into account the use, location

 If he shall disapprove such applica- tion, he shall certify his reasons therefor to the public officer or officers making the application.
 "Sec. 7. That if the Director of said Bureau shall approve such ap- plication, he shall cause the highway or section thereof therein described to be mapped, both in outline and pro-
 file. He shall indicate how much of such highway or section thereof may be improved by deviation from the existing lines whenever it shall be deemed of advantage to obtain short- CT or more direct road without lessen- ing it's usefulness, or wherever such deviation is of advantage by reason of lessened gradients. He shall also cause plans and specifications of such high way or section thereof to be made for telford, macadam, or gravel roadway, or some other suitable construction, taking into consideration climate. soil |, and material to be had in the vicinity thereof and the extent and nature of the traffic likely to be upon the high way, specifying in his judgment the kind of road wise economy demands. The improved or permanent roadway of all highways so improved shall not be less than eight nor more than twentyfour feet in width. unless for special reasons it is required that it shall be of greater width. '
 The Constitution of the United States puts no such limitation upon the Government as to prevent the co operation provided for in this bill, and so far as public policy is concern ed that remains to be settled by the of opinion by the people of the United States. It was not consider ed good public policy, until very re- gently, to undertake to deliver the United States mail to the people living in the rural districts, but it has been found upon trial to be very useful, very economical, and very beneficial to those living in the rural districts: and yet for forty or fifty years the people in cities have been avored by having their mail delivered tt iheir doors, while people living in he rural districts have been disc rimi- hated against because we had not dis covered, until lately, that it is good policy to deliver mail alike to people n the country and in the city. One is llmost as easily obtainable as the ,ther. There is no reason why the nail could not have been delivered to he people living in the rural dis ricts forty years ago as well as at the present time as a matter of fact the oads were as good then, for the most part, as they are now and the 'popula- ion in very many of the older States ,,o, loc, ,,,,co tho r,,,o1 J ;ct,.; oto |

Smash the machine" IS the cry that is going up all over the country. The common people could not do a better thing than to smash every political machine in .existance, in every political party. So long as machine pol itics are permitted to rule, the public will receive scant courtesy. and as for their rights-well, the people will never have any Smash the machines and let the voice of the people rule in this free republic.
 In following out his policy of posing as philanthropist John D. Rockefeller offered the Uni versity of Nebraska the sum of $67,OOO, but the people of that state are opposed to accepting any gift from Mir. Rockefeller. And when we consider their req sons eff their real ones were made public) we cannot but admire their pluck. The money which Mir. Rockefeller offered the Ne braskans was undoubtedly ob- tained by highwayman methods. for no sooner was the donation of the $67,OOO, announced than the price of oil in that state was advanced a cent gallon.

Trouble is certainly brewing in Chicago. The labor unions are making preparations secretly for a general strike, and at the same time the railroads of the city are hiring large numbers of guards for the property and are keeping them at hand for instant use in case of emergency. Officers of the National Guard have been sounded as to the condition of their commands for active service, and there is a general feeling that conflict cannot be long postponed.

DOINGS AT BROWN.

Sound Notes From the University.

The football practice on Andrews feld
yesterday afternoon was very slight, as
the men were rather bruised as a result
of the Harvard game. What men of the
first team did come out were given prac-
tice in the sprints and dashes, but no
scrlmmages.
With one exception, Brown now has the
best material that she will have this sea-
son Keen is on the hospital list. but the
other men on the squad are ready for
the hardest kind OF practice. This week
will therefore be devoted to coaching
the men i'm team work. The team was
at a disadvantage Saturday because three
OF the men had not played In Brown
game this season, but now that Higgins,
Walsh, and Capt. Webb are all eligible,
the coaches can give them the same at
teution at practice that the other MEM
bers Of the squad have been getting the
first weeks ~ practice.
The quarter back discussion Is still
being talked about on the hill, and 1t
seems to be the general opinion that
Schwartz puts more Into the speed and
dash OF the team than ANY other quarter
that has been out i'm years. lie Ia also
a sure tackler in the back field, and
some OF the men are OF the opinion that
the score would have been smaller Sat
urday II Schwartz had played the whole
game
Williams IL no easy team. and the
coaches and men will have to work their
hardest to run up very big score
against them. Williams has beaten
Syracuse i7-O. SO n Brown finds Williams
easy. she ought 10 have no trouble with
Syracuse two weeks later.
There will he a meeting Of the junior
class tomorrow for the annual election
OF officers.

entrance examinations To the bar, and
