Are Still Fighters.

The vicious attack of the Pula-
james, of the Island of Leyte, on
the United States constabulary, with
the loss of n dozen privates and
two American officers, shows clearly
enough that our troubles with the
Filipino irreconcilables are by no
means over. The assaulting force
was a formidable one, consisting Of
nearly 1000 men. apparently well
armed. and led with some degree
of skill. They are strong enough
to make trouble for the two bat
talions of infantry General Wood Is
sending against them.
The Island of Leyte has been a
favorite hot-bed of revolt since 1900,
when General Kobbe took the Forty
third Infantry there to fight the re-
doubtable General Lucban. The task
was too big. All the disaffected
FiHpinos gathered there, consider
ing Leyte our weakest point, and
two companies of the Twenty-third
and two of the Forty-fourth were
needed. It was then thought that
the place was 'pacifed" for good,
but sporadic outbursts have oc-
Cured ever since.
Even the anti-imperialists cannot
be expected TO make much ado over
this particular fight, for they seem
TO have abandoned their public
propaganda, once so powerful"
noisy. As for the rest of the coun-
try, it viii recognize the affair as
one of the unpleasant concomitants
of foreign dominion, with the we'll
founded confidence that some day
that dominion viii be given up in
the interests of pure freedom.

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-Although
he barked for hours with the apparent
purpose OF calling for help for his mis-
tress. Bob. a brown spaniel owned by
Miss Sophie Eltz, put Up hard nght

Miss Eltz lives al Marshall and Rich
field streets Some time during the
night she was stricken with paralysis
or apopiexy, and when she recovered
Bob. the only other being in the house,
was licking her face and stopping oc-
casionaily to bark
His baTks were heard BY neighbors,
who told Policeman Engel, Of the Thir-
teenth district, about it, Engel got
ladder and climbed Up 10 the second
story window. Fob evidently thought
help should not come that way. and he
few at the policeman with teeth barred.
Engel fought him OF with his night
stick, and Miss EltZ. although she wss
only. semi-cc ascious and could hardly
articuIate, patted the spaniel with her
left hand, which had not been affected
by the stroke, muttering:
Names Bob. Nice old dos. Won't
bite
After a while Bob became reassured
and allowed the policeman TO carry him
to a neighbor's house. Miss Eltz was
taken 10 the Episcopal Hospital.

NEW YORK. July 25.-That 81. 1000. O00

or another in the last fifteen or twenty
years Is the statement BY a person
who for that length of time has been
closely in touch with the working of the
courts OF criminal Jurisdiction in this

I can hardly think OF an item OF ex-
penditure which. Judging from the re-
suits achieved. seems less justified Es-
pecIally Is that the ease in regard TO
the money spent for ailenists. Jurors
as has been shown in some recent cases,
are prone 10 disregard entirely the testi-
mony OF alienists. and where they DO
not their testimony leaves the minds OF
even intelligent Jurors blurred TO the
extent that il tends to defeat the ends

Patrick Experts Asked 100000.
The bills for the Patrick case have
not been settled, but, according TO an
authoritative estimate. the expenses for
medical and handwriting experts in
that case up TO date will not fall below
5000
In the MOlineux case. which resulted
In an acquittal, the prosecution spent
approximately $66 600 for expert testi-
mony. One of the experts in the case,
Professor r. A. Witthaus, the noted
chemist, alone sent in a bill for SIS $50.
District Attorney Jerome was fairly
staggered, but Professor Witthaus went
10 court and recovered practically the
whole amount, with per cent interest.
Professor Wftthaus has been under a
retainer from the prosecution in prac-
tically all cases in recent years in which
an expert chemist has been needed. and

Evolution in Russia.

Out of the chaos which prevails
in Russia today two truths. Doth
strikingly voiced, speak clearly he
one is that not even the Car any
longer believes his power TO be IN
restricted. The other is that the
douma, having been once organized.
cannot die
Americans should consider the
openness of the douma's defiance
10 autocracy TO measure the signifi-
cance of the governmental modera-
tion which now prevails. Acting in
the capacity Of a lawful and au-
thoritative legislature, its members
have been guilty of the most de-
hberate and extreme insubordiUa-
tion short of armed attack:
They have denounced the govern
ment of the Car as without sane
tion of law. They have warned the
world that loans made 10 that gov
ernment viii be illegal and cannot
be paid. They have summoned the
people TO withhold their taxes and
refuse military service. They have
circulated these declarations by
proclamation, by the distribution
of handbills, and by word of mouth.
Yet the Czar does not dare enter
upon the program of Imprisonment,
Punishment, death, which such acts
seem 10 warrant. He dare not and
he cannot.
Ia douma est mortel Niye Ia
douma!" That was the exclamation
of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman,
British premier, to the Russian dele
gates as they emerged from the
Interparliamentary Conference. By
il. the representative of a free peo-
pie intended TO epitomize the broad
truth that a parliament once con
vened takes on the character of
kingship and cannot die.
The King is dead. Long live the
King" expresses TO a loyal subject
something more than a cynical OBJ
' servance of human fckleness. It
speaks the indestructibility and un-
broken continuance of kingly rule.
That a legislature chosen by the
people takes on this same immor-
tality is an impressive thought when
expressed to Russians by the head
of the parliament of Great Britain.
How long the struggle toward free
government must continue in Rus
sia no one can tell England un-
deFwent the disaster of interneeine
war from the time of King John
TO the Bill of Rights of 1859 before
her people had made their legis.
lative assembly secure. The strug-
gle in the United States, on the
other hand, began where that in
the mother country ended. We have
new problems in America; we have
not yet learned the way to choose
only our best men as our law
makers; but it is beyond doubt that
we obtained the right to a Iegis-
lature as the prize of a war which
lasted only seven years.
Can Russia profit similarly by the
experience of other peoples? Can
her peasants, undeveloped, degraded,
earth-trodden, emulate the enter
prise and self-reliance of the Ameri-
can colonists? It is hardly TO be
expected. Yet in the example which
the New World has set TO the Old,
Russia may well find encouragement
10 hope that a generation rather
than a century may compass her
evolution out of autocracy.
