to try to do our share or the worla's

has been imposed upon us by the re.
suits Of the war with Spain. We are
endeavorlng 10 develop the natives
themselves so that they shall take an
ever increasing share in their own gov
ernment' and, as far as is prudent, we
are already admitting their representa-.
tlYes to a governmental equality with
our own. There are commissioners
judges and governors in the islands
who are Filipinos and who have exact
" the same share IN the government
Of the Islands as have their colleagues
who are Americans, while in the lower
ranks, Of course, the great majority OF
the public servants are Filipinos.
Within two years we shall be trying
the experiment Of an elective lower
house in the Philippine legislature. If
the Filipinos act with wisdom and self
restraint, If they show that they are
capable Of electing a legislature which
m its turn Is capable Of taking a sane
and efficient part in the actual work OF
government, they can rest assured that
a full and increasing measure Of rec.
ognltlon will he given them.
Every measure taken concerning the
islands should be taken primarily with
view to their advantage. We should
certainly give them lower tariff rates
on their exports 70 the United States.
If this is not done IL will be n wrong
to extend our shipping laws to them
I earnestly hope for the immediate
enactment into law Of the legislation
now pending to encourage American
capital to seek investment in the Is.
lands in railroads, in factories. in plan.
tations and in numbering and mining.

TROLLEY TRAVEL WAS DELAYED
Special to The Evening Journal


New Castle, Dec. 6.-New Castle was
visited by the first genuine snow storm
Of the season yesterday and for sew
eral hours flakes fell in an old-time
way.
The storm, which had been brewing
for several days past. was preceded
by sleet which covered sidewalks and
made walking difficult and dangerous.
AS the storm progressed trolley traffic
between Delaware City. this city and
Wilmington became more difficult ow-
ing to slippery rails and cars ran from
one-half hour to an hour late
on the river the snow was so thick
that navigation was out of the ques-
ton and vessels were compelled to
come to anchor. The government
dredge General Gillespie was compelled
to knock off work and put into port, not
being able to navigate her course. In
the evening after the snow had ceased
falling young folks We're out in full
force with sleds and pedestrians were
compelled to step lively to avoid being
run down.

GOLD MEDAL AWARDED

We have been given the Gold Medal
blythe Superior Jury at the great Univerv
sal Exposition held at ST. Louis. We
were in competition with Diamond
houses from many different countries as
well as with the more prominent houses
Of the United States. Our goods, terms,
prices, methods and system had as much
to do with capturing the coveted Gold
Medal as did our Two Million Dollar
display of Diamonds, Pearls and precious
stones, and our completely equipped
Diamond-cutting plant, which demon
strated to millions of Worlds Fair
visitors the interesting process of cutting
and polishing rough Diamonds.

TO CASH BUYERS.

LOT cash, we have unique proposition
to make, as follows: Pay cash for anv
Diamond that you wish, and we will give
you written agreement to the effect
that you can send the Diamond back to
us at any time during the ensuing wear.
and we will, upon its receipt, refund to
you IN spot cash all you paid for it less
ten per cent. For instance, you might
pay 500 Tor Diamond and wear it for a
year, then return it to us. and get s45,
making the expense to you for wearing
a fine Diamond whole year only s5, or
less than ten cents per week. No other
house can afford to make such an offer
as this, for the simple reason that small
concerns doing a small volume of busi-
ness cannot operate on so small a margin
of nrnf1t as tan r,ar cent
Evening journal., 1904-12-06
YOUR CREDIT is GOOD

We trust any honest person for Dia.
monds, no matter how far away thew
may live. Diamonds increase in value
constantly, and people will pay for them
Just the same as they would paw for a
house, lot. or anything that accumulates
value for them. We treat ouI Customers
right; make the terms easy and give
them good value for their money. Under
these circumstances it is perfectly safe
to trust honest people. Payments made
on a Diamond is the same as putting
money in bank and pays a great deal
better in the annual increased value.
