CONSTABULARY OF
THE PHILIPPINES
Continued from Page 81
rHE PHILIPPINE JUDICIARY.

THE PHILIPPINE JUDICIARY.
The personnel of the Philippine judi
ciary comprises both Fflipinos and
Americans. The policy has been tC
appoint Filipinos as fast as competent
ones could be found. Although schol-
/ arIy development was very much re-
stricted under Spanish rule, lawyers
form a large part of the cultured class
| in the Philippines. The present chief
| justice of the supreme coure, Judge
| Cayetano Arellano, and the solicitor
general, Hon. Gregorio Araneta, are
both brilliant men who would be con-
spicuous in the courts of any land. In
selecting Americans for the judiciary,
/ no attention has been paid to party
utilization, the records showing that
| there are more democrats serving than
republicans.
The judiciary proper consists Of the
supreme court, the courts of first in
stance, the bureau of justice, and the
justices of the peace. There are TWEEN
ty-three first instance justices, about
one-third of these being native. The
justices of the peace number 1888,
and these are all natives. The last
named are disappointment. The
most of them are ignorant to begin
with, and are either cowed by, or in
league with, the petty bosses, so that
they are failures in defending the
minor rights of the classes. The
provincial fiscals, or prosecuting at
torneys, have also failed to promote
the work of the Constabulary in ap-
pretending and prosecuting violators
of the law. Although the work of the
supreme court has been highly salts
factory, the volume of business has
been in excess of its capacity At the
the docket, which will require at least
two and half years to dispose of.
GOLD STANDARD IS ESTAB-
LISHED.
The bureau of currency has been
remarkably successful in the difficult
task of placing the Philippines upon a
gold basis. About 100000 900 Pesos of
cheap money has been Withdrawn from
circulation and its equivalent in stable
currency issued The old local cur
rency" consisted of Mexican dollars,
Spanish Filipino dollars, Chinese mon
ey, and copper coins from almost every
country in the Orient, the value of
which shifted SO constantly that no
man ever knew just what he was
worth
In order to have the value of the new
money generally understood, announce
ments were prepared and translated
into twenty-one different languages
and dialects. These notices were post
ed throughout the islands and their
contents shouted by town criers. On
account of all salaries of the insular,
provincial and municipal governments
being paid in the new currency, as
well as all duties and taxes, the ma
tives soon came to be familiar with
it. The day of the cheap and change
able Mex is forever past, and the
establishment of the gold standard,
with it's blessing of stability, is an ac-
complished fact.

At a recent dinner of the Geodetic
Club, Professor Shaler. of Harvard,
told the following story on himself:
Il still remember a mental slip
made nearly thirty years ago when
in Washington attending a large edu-
cationa1 conference. I was alone in the
hotel parlor waiting for two of my
friends. when rather short, bearded
man entered, and, seeing me, advanced
to shake hands With a cordial, Glad to
see you. Professor Shaler.'
.tAt the moment I was unable to
place him, and had to confess my lapse
of memory. I explained that I was
meeting SO many people that I could
not remember the name of each, though
the face might be very familiar.
He smiled and said he quite under
stood and drew out his card. On it was
engraved General Ulysses S. Grant
and then I understood why his face was
so very familiar"

Device TO
CUT LONG
TOW LINES

The use Of 1.2O0-foot hawsers in tow
ing scows and" barges in and out OF

menace to navigation that Secretary

merce and labor has ordered Cant NJ
R. s. Mackenzie. T. s. n. Inspector OF
the Third Lighthouse district. 20 take
drastic measures.
The most dangerous OF the results Of
this practice has been the frequent
dragging away OF channel buoys A de-
vice has been perfected which win pro-
vide each buoy with weapon OF de-
fense.
One buoy has been equipped. and will
be placed in the upper end Of sSwash

IL this buoy is fouled the consequence
will be a cut hawser, separating tow

moved In It's marked position. II this
proves TO be a success. every buoy re-
curing protection will be armed The
lighthouse officers hold that the tows
should be shortened while passing
through the ship channels and In the
upper bay. There would be little or no
danger to the buoys.
The towing companies. however. say
the use OF long hawsers Is necessary,
and they have not needed direct re-
quests 10 shorten them
