fdent is the correct one 1t is quite within
bounds to say, as does 1.-The Evening Post" that
the coming election will invest the Philippine
problem with a new aspect and that III 1t the
people of those islands are face to face with Il
supreme crisis in their history. 1t is well TO eX-
hort the Filipinos, too, as does that paper, TO
improve their great opportunity in the highest
possible degree. We cannot however, commend
as wise the exhortaton that they should make
1T apparent that the Filipino nation is not an
accidental conglomeration of different tribes
"actuated by no common purpose and speaking
mo common language, but a thoroughly mar
"monious people, capable Of governing thelh-
SELVES and united in their desire for indepeh-
"ence" because that is an exhortation to make
apparent something which is not existent. II -
not a fact that the Filipinos are "thoroughN
harmonious people" 1t IS q fact that they are "A
.'Conglomeration Of different tribes speaking no
common language" and. we may add often AM
mated by bitter hostility toward one another
That Is a fact. ethnOogically, philologicaLy' So
ciaIIv. religiousy and politically, and to that
very fact n large part of our troubles In govern
ing the islands has been directly due, The pre-
tence that the black. brown, yellow and Whlt"
races. all of which are represented in the Phii-
iDpines, are identical and that Tagals, Nisayahs'
Moros and Negritos are "a thoroughly harmohI-
Gus people" is fallacious and would prove ms
chievous If accepted as a basis OF action In
the coming election and in the reorganlzed gov
ornamental system which follows 1t the part oil
wisdom and of profit will be TO recognize facts
and not TO indulge in fancies.

THE TRAGEDY Ar SEA.

The frghtful disaster which overlook ths joy
Line steamboat Larchmont appears TO be rid
die IN the minds Of the survivors Captain
Haley of the schooner Harry Knowton the yes
sci with which the Larchmont was I'm collision
is reported as saying that he should never quite
understand how the accident occurred. The
night was clear and starry, and the sea was not
dangerously rough. Long before the crash or-
CURED the coal schooner had sighted the pas
senger boat. and, according to the same captains
testimony, there does not seem 10 have been any
confusion Of signals.
It will probably occur 10 many summer resi-
dents of the Rhode Island shore to suggest as a
plausible explanation OF the accident the mirage
between Watch Hill and Point Judith during the
hot months. Whether or not similar mirage ef
fects prevail during the winter season IS IL fact
Yet to be determined before this suggestion can
be accepted Perhaps the ueteorologlsts ana
geographers, or, better still, the local fishermen
and lifeSaylng crew, can settle that point. At
all events, Il sudden increase or decrease in the
apparent size OF vessels tTaversug that rhom-
bold OF sea whose corners are Point Judith
Block Island AIontauk Point and W .tch iii IS
a phenomenon familiar to many persons. Ere
quently vessel such as the Harry Kuowltun
Will at one moment seem 10 be two miles away
and half "a minute later loom up within u
stones throw; again, fl will seem near Mt hand
and then suddenly appear far away. 1t Is by no
means impossible that some such triciery Of the
air was instrumental IN causing the tragedy OF
Monday night.

CITY BEAUTIFYTNG.

American cities are taking thought about
Identifying themselves. They may not do so
very persistently, and their aesthetic yearnings
may not be leading 10 any immediate practical
result, 50 that for instance any one visiting
Chicago say five years from now wiz be able
to see marked Improvement in its appearance
and be able to trace II to the discussion of
beauty plans in 1906; but at any rate there Is
Il growing public realization that the cities are
not a delight to the eye ana that haphazard
trusting to luck in municipal development re
suits inharmOniously. Everywhere committees
are pointing out In the newspapers how much
better some city would have looked IF it could
only have been forescen"; If this or that river
front, lake front, seacoast had been trea ed
with some regard to the dignity Of the grown
metropolis. We hear Of "civlc centres" sug-
costing growing conception OF the effective
ness Of noble public buildings in a group, not
scattered about the town rs If they were a
mere matter Of speculative construction There
is n questioning Of that contamination Of human
wisdom, the Chcckcr-bOard arrangement of
streets. OF course these aesthetic warnings do
not generally become translated into action
and they perhaps only reflect great credit upon
their 'yearners" as n superior sort OF persons
who are able to see what might have been"
\ pamphlet on what Boston might have been
and in part may still be, has been published
there by 4 cOnnltIce representing certain
mercial bodies Of the city, like the Chamber Of
Commerce and the Stock Exchange The sue-
gestions in It are the personal ideas Of members
of the committee, and their aesthetic warnings
receive no Endorsement from the bodies Duh-
fishing the pamphlet. The criticisms of the
committee local. OF course, but in a sense
they have general application. We read Of the
Boston City Hall, Court House and State House
If Beacon Hill had been crowned by these
three important public buildings the city would

proach to them. and should nave had q
dignifed municipal centre.
or course not every community Is blessed
with a hill to leave to the sure abuse Of chance
but the reader does not have to be acquainted
with Boston in order to deplore misplaced nnb
lie buildings and lost opportunities. We might
almost say that the commonest Of municinoI
aesthetic warnings to-day is for a civic centre
with parklike approach" Now. that NAV ba

than the struggling disorder of haphazard
Let us read a few more criticisms Of tho IIub.
We surround Copley Square with costly briId

tenements Our harbor islands, once
wooded are now bare the waters or our
harbor are defled with sewage. Our streets
resound with a deafening noise, and over the
whole town hangs the unnecessary cloud or sort
coal smoke.
Most of these things are true of other Ameri-
can cities
We shall not concern ourselves with the rem
edies suggested for most Of them would obvi-
Ousy apply only to Boston. Some of them are
novel, such as building an island in the Charles
River basin, the river is TOO wide for archl-
tecturaI purposes. European cities have done
much to improve their appearance, and the
time IS evidently coming when American cities
will think less of the census reports on popula-
ton and more of the arts and beauties OF CIVIL
cation than they do now. When it comes some
of to-day's plans for city identifying may be
realized
