The Philippines Election.

To appreciate the outcome of the cleo
ton which took place in the Philippines
on July 30 one should keep in view the
qualifications for voting and the extent
TO which they had been turned 10 ac-
count by reglstrs ION, If these facts be
considered it will be obvious that the
ostensible victory of the so-called Ma
tionalists, who demand immediate indie
~pendence. is of very little significance
as a reflector Of public opinion.
The qualifications for voting were
three. Any native or resident of the
Philippines who could show that he pos
sessed taxable property valued at $500
OF that he could read and write any Ian
guage. whether English, Spanish, Tagal,
Visayan or other, or that he had held
an Office of any kind under Spanish rule,

on a given date thereafter To exercise
the franchise. The meagre results of
the registration which took place lately

The Frantic Palace OF Peace.

What is the crime Of Universal Peace
that Mr.. CARNEGIE and his architectural
jury should have condemned her to life
Imprisonment in a structure suggesting
the uneasy m~sgnifcence and aggressive
unrestfulness of a first class railway ter
minal station?
To a certain extent it is within the
power Of Architecture to translate ideas
and sentiments into the language Of stone
and other building materials. This de-
sign spells every antonym of Peace.
The spirit it embodies is rather that of
desperate strife-prolonged if intermit-
ent guerrilla warfare.
Has there been anything like it since
the unfortunate misconception of the
Palace Of Justice in Brussels or Of the
city hall in Jersey City?

Plain Words to- an Old Friend.

It pains us TO hear the Hon. WILLIAM
EATON CHANDLER, who has had time
enough to ripen, hurting the lie like an
unseasoned boy or the Grand CatApan
of things. Having himself been deco
rated with the title of liar, now so com-
mon and without its original distinction,
he may find a happiness or pastime in
passing the word along. He cannot be
defended successfully on this or any other
ground. Not merely because:
" We bold 1t is not decent for a learned legal gent
To pll . fellow gent You lie,' or words TO that
intent"
Not merely because professional ETH
quette and courtesy shudder at such a
savage deviation from good n
Not merely because the old traditions
Of the English bar still prevail in much

r~ooseveltgate are not practised by the
bar that remembers DANIEL WEBSTER.

Yet the lamp still holds out TO burn

will not regard him as utterly incorrigi-

Washington, which would scarcely be
propitiated by indications that the
islanders desired 10 sunder their political
relations with the American republic.
They would not therefore vote for Ma
tionalist nominees, while at the same
time it seemed hardly worth while to
put forward candidates OF their own.
What is here said about the qualiica-
tions of individuals for voting should be
supplemented with reference TO the pro-
!oion that tho suffrage could be exer-
cised only in those provinces a majority
Of whose inhabitants profess Christianity.
The effect Of this rule was 10 d~isqualify
sixteen out Of the fifty provinces. includ-
ing conspicuously those largely peopled
by Moros or Mohammedans. Only thirty
four provinces, therefore, took part in
the election. So far as returns from
these are forthcoming, the Progressists,
who are willing to wait until our Gov
eminent is disposed to grant the islands
independence and who were supposed
to be better organized than their oppo-
nents-they certainly had the sympathy
Of the insular Government and of resi-
dent Americans-were beaten over
whelmingly at the ballot box and claim
only about a quarter of the elected men,
bers of the popular assembly. The pre-
ponderant element in that body will be
the Nationalists, who demand immediate
independence, and meanwhile insist on
the reduction of the salaries OF American
officials.
Under the circumstances the legisla-
tive experiment undertaken in the Philip
pines is unlikely to work. There will be
presented at Manila a counterpart of the
hibited at st. Petersburg had the first
and second Duma been controlled by the
Social Democrats, who make no secret
of their wish to overthrow monarchical
institutions and substitute a socialistic
republic. In Porto Rico, on the other
hand, the party which is ascendent in
the popular chamber has taken no such
irreconcilable position with regard TO the
United States, and consequently is able
10 cooperate with the Council, or upper
house, and with the insular executive.
Perhaps il our Congress could be pre-
vailed upon to grant the Filipinos the
same privileges as have been conceded
{ o the Porto Ricans, so that the sugar,
tobacco and other products Of the islands
could enter u ports duty free, the
activity and prosperity which undoubt-
eddy would follow might cause the best
part of the Filipino electorate to well
come more cordially the offer of partial
autonomy. As it is they know that the
export and import trade of the little
island of Porto Rico with the United
States is between two and three times as
large as il that of the extensive and
~populous Philippine archipelago.

The New Church Music Rule In Italy.

There is little encouragement in the
reports of the congress oil church music
recently held in Padua for those who
hope to see put into practice the recon-
mendations of the Pope. This council
was held in the former charge of Plus ",
but no practical results were reached.
In Italy there has been little more ad-
vance toward a realization of the recon-
mendations than there has been here.
Only in St. Peters and in the great
basilicas of Rome is heard music of the
kind imposed on the Church three wears
ago. In New York not all of the regular
priests have attempted to introduce the
reforms in their parishes, while the secu-
lar clergy have done nothing in the mat
ter. When Rome can be as Indifferent
as New York to the enforcement of the
new rule, there must be the feeling that
it's provisions involve toe great a hard
ship for the clergy and the Congrega-
tons concerned.
The most earnest American advocate
Of the new rule is Father YOUNG, who
believes that all difficulties in the way
Of carrying out the Pope's ideas may
be overcome by training the children
of the parochial schools in the simpler
principles Of the Gregorian chant. This
method will, in his opinion, soon produce
singers in the choir and in the congrega-
tons, thus fulfilling the Pope's wishes
and fastening the return of the day
when the congregations will again do
their share of the singing. The success
of Father YoUNG's experiments seems to
verify his confidence in the results that
will follow if music il taught in the paro-
chial schools.
II is an interesting circumstance that
Italy hopes to accomplish most through
the parochial schools, although by a
different means As the choirs do not
find it possible TO sing music of the kind
required by the Pope's orders, congrega-
tional singing has been suggested as a
substitute and has in some places been
tried. Many in the congregations have
learned the plain chants in the schools
be given to the congregations that they
may take part in the music of the service.
Probably Plus Y. never hoped that his
recommendations would not only restore
the old religious music to the churches
but put il in the mouths of the congre-
cations. Such a result may not be
achieved Immediately, but il is possible
through the enforcement Of the Pope's
commands.
