PHILIPPINE PROSPERITY.

Students Of colonial government have often
spoken Of the difficulty of reconciIng Anglo
Saxon ideas Of administration and necessary
public works with a low native standard of
industrial efficiency. English colonial govern
ment is expensive government. This is seen
clearly IN islands like Jamaica and Trinidad,
where roads, sanitation. justice and police are
excellent. but where adverse economic condi-
1ions make these goods something of a burden
owing to the dsproportion between the wealth OF
the community and the cost Of government. 1t
would be natural 10 expect that the Americans.

THE PRESIDENTS POLICY.

Much speculation has been INDUCED IN by
political observers as TO the character of Pres1-
dent Roosevelt's policies in q new administra-
ton when unconstrained by any sense of obli-
cation to carry out the plans of his predecessor
Many predictions have been made, especially In
the campaign, that with new lease Of power
he is likely 10 depart widely from the courses
which he has followed for the last three years.
In Part " of The Tribune this morning we
publish a forecast of the Presidents future pol
fey made by our Washington correspondent
who. by reason of his familiarity with affairs
at the capital and personal acquaintance with
leading statesmen, IS admirably qualified 70
learn the truth about the Presidents aims so
far as he has formulated or discussed them.
This forecast clearly shows that the President
has absolutely no thought Of departing from the
safe and conservative lines which he has so
far followed. He recognizes the need of new
legislation in various directions. and will strive
to 1t the government TO deal with every emer-
gency which may arise in his term of Office. but
whatever he does will be the natural evolution
of Republican policies and principles TO meet
new conditions. The President realizes, as do
the great majority Of Republicans, that the
tariff schedules have been outgrown in some
particulars and will need reimbursement. He is
considering how that REIMBURSEMENT may best be
secured but has as yet committed himself to
no particular plan. 1t IS clear that whatever IS
done will be done carefully, conservatively and
with no sacrifice OF the protective principle.
In dealing with trusts the indications are that
the President VIII continue his already well IN
derstood policy. He has secured legislation
which. it is believed. will enable the govern
ment to put an end to determinations and re-
bates. and he has secured court rulings which
will prevent the ingenuity of lawyers from put
ting corporations beyond the reach Of the law.
He has no intention of using these weapons in
such way as TO injure legitimate business, but
it may be expected that diligence will be mani
tested in compelling corporations as well as in
dividuals to obey the law.
In general, the prospects in the next admins
tration, outlined by our correspondent are
for thoroughly sane, conservative, but at the
same time thoroughly progressive, use of the
authority of government for the promotion of
the interests of the whole people regardless Of
section or condition.

SUCCESS OF THE HORSE SHOW.

Although the number OF automobiles is In
creasing rapidly in New-York, the interest In tho
annual display of handsome horses has shown
no falling off. The Horse Show was well sus-
tanned by people who find their homes within a
short distance from our City Hall, and it was as
popular as ever with enthusiasts from the other
big towns of the country. The display of thor
oughbred stars of the racetrack has never been
and the number of such horses which have been
on exhibition is neither large nor brilliant In
quality. But in every other class, whether for
ornament or for use there has been a fine dis
play. 1t is true that many of the possessors Of
splendid creatures well worthy of the competi-
ton for prizes at Madison Square have passed
away since the first show was held but as the
years grow older new men come seeking hon
and distinctions to which they have not
been accustomed.
1t is true also that the deaths of relatives of
certain earlier exhibitors have lessened the dis
play Of notable horses that was formerly so
large Much regret is still felt and expressed
for the passing away of William G. Whitney,
one Of the most liberal and enterprising Of
owners on the American turf and a man who
always did what he could for the promotion of
the best interests Of the affair. J. G. X. Law
renee and Colonel Kip We're also good friends of
the gigantic display in some Of it's most glorious
years. But many as have been the years since
the Horse Show has been held at Madison
Square Garden it has not yet lost its power
of fascination. 1t still holds its own as one of
the most successful among the attractions Of
the late autumn. and is not likely soon to lose
its charm

INVESTIGATING PgEUnOyTA

The movement for the study Of pneumonia
which has been started under the auspices Of
the NewYOrk Department of Health must be
regarded with profound satisfaction. The NAL
ady in question has increased in prevalence
during the last few years and is now a close
rival of tuberculosis in the mortality it causes
Its victims are almost invariably men and
women who have previously been blessed with
robust health and whose business and social
activities are numerous. SO rapid is the prog
ress Of the disease when 1t proves fatal that
a career Of usefulness is thus ended with lam
entable and peculiar suddenness. Finally Ge-
spite the frequency with which pneumonia oc-

understood as are several less common disor-
ders.
Medical men entertain little doubt that this
disease has a bacterial origin, but they have
been much puzzled to decide TO which particu-
lar species of organism it should be attributed.
A confusing variety of microbes has been found
in the mouths Of patients One recognized and
described by Fraenkel, occasionally appears in
diphtheria and on that account its precise re-
lation to pneumonia has not been altogether
clear. Again, the pneumococcus which Fried
lander discovered, and which is usually held
responsible, is, nevertheless, missing in at least
q rev unmlstakable cases. The situation Is still
further complicated by finding the germs Of
plague, or typhoid fever or of certain suppura-
tive arrangements Of the system In the saliva
or blood OF those who are suffering from pneu-
monia. 1t has been suspected that there are
distinct differences in the cause, as well as
in the degree, OF Inflammation of the lungs
Should that suppositIon be verified it would

Philippine goods are greatly lowered the ISL
