magical healing properties credited to "Our

notice in 1926. when it attracted the attention of
Don Juan Nino de TavOra, the Governor General of
the Philippines, who observed it when passing
through Acapulco, Mexico and was so struck with
its aspect and beautiful ewes full of love
and triumph that he determined to take it with
him to the capital. The preliminary arrange
ments were made easily and SO the image with much
ceremony transferred to the princelv gal1eon
and after a voyage of four months was landed at
Cavlte. a solemn and splendid procession of church
d1gmtares and state officials met the vessel and
escorted the Virgin" to the cathedral Shortly
atterward she took up her abode at Antipolo where
she remained for nine years
The Chinese finally arose in revolt aganst tba
Spaniards, committing depredations and outraqes
throughout the Provinces about Manila DESTROYING

resistance and given to the flames the church re-

But what was the wonder of the inhabitants when
from the ashes and cinders were uncovered a wooden
cross and the image of the Blessed Virgin per

General and the Archbishop removed the cross and
Virgin, so miracuousy saved: the crucifix to the
royal chapel, the Virgin" to Cavite where she

patron of voyages between the Philippines and

New-York tribune., 1905-06-18

IN the little backwoods
village of Antipolo,
1 situated some fifteen
miles east from Manila,
lies a venerated religious
relic that is looked up to
with superstitious awe by
the Filipinos. 1t is a
small wooden image known
as the Virgin of Anti
polo" which for three CEN
turies has held sway over
the imaginative and rev.
erential minds of the in
habitants. The image has
been enshrined there con-
tinuously for a hundred
and fifty years, except
when it was moved tenn
porarily to Manila last
December to be the cen
trail figure in a religious
celebration.
This Virgin" has had
more vicissitudes than are
the lot of church emblems

stiff with embroidered gold.
She is supposed to help
the sick. watch over the
seafaring, procure happi-
ness for the bride. and
perhaps affords the most
spiritual concept that the
average Filipino ever forms
of the Mary who was the
mother Of Jesus. They
all firmly believe that she
performs great miracles.
The shrine of Antipolo has
no special reputation for
healing disease. The Fill
pinos, in common with
other Eastern races. look
upon injuries, disease and
suffering with a calIous
Indifference difficult to

schooled to the belief that
disease Is a thing TO be

THE SCHETTLER CASE.

THE ARREST of Banker Schettler is
i the elimination of a wrong as old
as the days when the Hebrews spoiled
the Egyptians and marched off to the
promised land with the goods they had
acquired. SchettIer began business
with the confidence of his friends and
very little else in the way of capital
His own statement as prepared from
his books, showed that he had violated
the banking laws of the state for
long time. He received deposits when
he was utterly insolvent, whether he
realized the insolvency or not: and he
received deposits, not of people who
could afford to lose money without suf-
fering, but from those who had saved
in privatiOn and hard toll against the
days of their old age.
Whether guilty or not, Schettler has
inflicted a loss to the community not to
be measured in dollars and cents; and,
if guilty, no punishment provided by
the law can commensurate with the in
jury he has inflicted. Not only has he
caused want and poverty where a
measure Of comfort existed, but he has
created feeling of general distrust
which must inevitably be felt for years
in the community which had believed
In his integrity and good faith.
The county attorney has made a start
in the right direction. and he should
spare no pains to sift the whole miser-
able business. Punishment of Schet-
tier cannot retrieve the losses of his
failure, unless it shall appear that he
has concealed assets legitimately be
longing to his creditors, but punish
ment in case he is proved guilty Will
reassure those doubters who have too
often had cause to complain of the
laws delays and inadequacy.

A WISE PROVISION.

- ENATOR TELLER introduced a few
days ago bill providing for the
appointment of commissioners to look
after the transportation of mails and to
assist in regulating interstate com
meree. In the flood of bills, introduced
and in preparation on this and kindred
subjects, the Teller measure might
nave been forgotten had it not con-
tanned an entirely unique provision.
Section of the bill reads:
mo person shall be appointed to the
said board OF managers who is. or
within five years previous to his an
polntment has been, addicted to the ex-
cessive use of intoxicating liquors or
narcotics, or to any game Of chance or
skill
The section has created considera BILE
comment and it has been said that if
the bill is passed the appointees will
have to come from outside the rat,lSs- of
the professional politicians and place
hunters But there is no good reason
why the law should not prohibit the
appointment Of Incorporate men to
any public office. Large employers of
labor do not hesitate to bar out men
VINO drink and gamble. Why should
not the government be equally partic-
ular?

MR.. ELKIRS' PLAN.

ID PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S decIar-
alton that he considers the enact
ment Of legislation for the strengthen
ing of the interstate commerce com
mission as of more Importance than the
revision of the tariff, is calculated to
make some of the railroad magnates
sit up and take notice Mr.. Roosevelt
is very much in earnest in this matter
1t has long been known that one of the
important reasons for the SUPREMACY
OF the large corporations is the grant
ing to them of rebates and other
freight concessions by the railroad
companies
In her splendid history OF the Stand
ard Oil monopoly Miss TarbeH throws
a strong light on the rebate question.
pointing out how, through rebates Mr.
Rockefeller and his associates have. al
ways been able to smother any sort of
competition. The president has doubt
less read Miss TarbeIIs story. and -
may have had something to do with his
present attitude. He wants the inter
state commerce commission given the
power to prevent rebates. to put an
end to determinations and to equalize
rates.
The railroads are strongly onDnged
to this proposition and they win usA
all the influence they can command IN
prevent the desired legislation. Sem
ator Elkins has already come to the
'front.' with a scheme to give court
power to declare when railroad rates
are excessive. without. however giving
the court the power to fix "A rate that
Is not excessive. In support of his
measure. Senator EIkins says:

Senator Elkins apparently does not
remember the words of one of our first
great railroad men who said. e-rbe
public be damned" That is the sort
or principle many OF the great railway
systems are being operated under to-
Gay If the roads paid the slightest
attention to the public sentiment there
would be no occasion for streugthe
the hands of the interstate commerce
commission. Rates are reduced when
II Is TO the interest OF the roads to re-
duee them, they are raised as often as
the traffic viii bear it.
The people viii De pardoned if they
look with suspicion upon any railroad
legislation offered by the senator from
west Virginia. Il was Mr.. EIkins who
had stricken out the imprisonment fea-
ture Of the law prohibiting the grant
ing OF rebates. and he has in every
way IN his power safeguarded the in
terests of the railroad corporations.

MR.. PosTs LARGE CONTRACT

r w. POST. who is pushing the Post
S' Check currency bill, has a large
contract on his hands if he hopes to
unseat every United states senator
whose corporate interests are such that
they sometimes conflict with their du-
ties to their constituents. Mr. Post is
starting with Senator Plat Of New
York He says Senator Plat is not
supporting the bill because its opera
ton, if passed. Will seriously interfere
with the money order business done by
the United States Express company.
Of which Senator Plat is president.
The Post-check man has prepared
papers which are to be filed in the
United States supreme court asking for
an injunction 10 prevent Senator Plat
from occupying his seat any longer
This on the grounds that ne does not
fulfill his duties according 10 his oath
of Office that he subverts the interests

he does not know it already. that a
considerable number of our senator's

they were elected. Some Of them, I'M
doubtedly, are stin on such payroIIs.
As lawyers. though, Of course. of
course. Not as senators. not by any
manner of means as senators.
VIII these gentlemen be eligible to
vote on the question as to whether or
not Senator Plat should be thrown
out? We hardly think so. for they are
pre1udiced in favor of the New Yorker.
And if all the senators with corpora-
ton connections are barred from par
ticipation in the proceedings. does any
body suppose there would be a quorum
left for the transaction Of business?
Why. the Democrats would be about

A y INTERESTING development of
Il the Russo-Japanese war last week
was the formal notification from Rus
STA to the powers that there is danger
of general Chinese uprising as a re-
suit of the Japanese opaganda, which
will endanger the interests of all the
powers 1t is said that the warning is
intended to induce Secretary Hay to
take steps TO compel China to main
tain an attitude of strict neutrality as
well as to prevent an extension of the
zone of hostilities-
The notification will impress most
impartial observers as a request to the
powers TO help Russia in letting go.
