A cHANaE.

The whirligig of time brings its
changes, and a great change is wit
messed in the Philippines, where we
now behold Aguinaldo, once the head
and front of the Filipino uprising
against American authority, gravely
complimenting Secretary Taft and. TX
pressing the belief that the opening of
the Assembly has "'gone a long way to
cement the friendship of my people
with the people of the United States"
Aguinaldo has learned a great deal
since the American occupation, and he
has acquired some idea of statesman
ship and government. The kind of rule
that he and his cabal would have es-
tablished in 1899, if he had had a free
hand, would have been an oligarchy
which would have lasted only until
Germany or Japan should have landed
and ended it in summary fashion.
Gradually the realization Of the great
boon of American government and
tutelage is fltering through the Filipino
mind. and the present attitude of the
Filipino leaders is evidence of it.

LEGALITY OF THE MACHINE.

1t is understood that the executive
committee of the Republican County
Committee in Passaic County will es-
tablish grounds for a test case as to the
legality of the voting machine. Re-
corder James f. Carroll, of Paterson,
recently discharged a man who had
been accused of voting illegally on a
voting machine. The recorder held that
as machine voting was unconstitutional
no crime had been committed and that,
therefore, he could not hold the accused
man. The executive committee will
take the matter before the Grand Jury
to try to get an indictment in a case
of the kind and so have the question
brought before the court for a decision.
As has been said before, it is now time
for The State to decide one way or the
other what shall be lone with the
voting machine. 1t Is necessary first, If
the Legislature next winter does not
abolish the machine. to ascertain
whether it is legal. The courts are
open and there need be no delay in get
ting a decision.

PROTECTION FOR FISH AND GAME.

Both President Roosevelt and former
President Cleveland are disciples of
the rod and CUR, and both testify in
letters to the convention in New York
of the North American Association Of
Honest Anglers their love of fair play
and true sport in the field of fish and
game. Both stand for laws and regula-
tons to protect fish and game from
wholesale destruction.
THE STAR has pleaded the same
cause in this State. Recognizing the
worthlessness as well as viciousness of
the kind of protection administered
by the Fish and Game Commission of
New Jersey, THE STAR began an at
tack upon the commission, showed up
the crying abuses hat characterized it
and demonstrated that the State was
paying more than thirty thousand dol
lars a year, not only without any BEN
eft, but. as has been proven, to the
detriment of State interests. THE
STAR demanded a legislative investi-
the response, the result of which was
the adjustment of the commission,
which, consistently with its record, goes
of existence with a lying report that
has been read with contempt by all
gunners and line fishermen in the State.
The proceedings of the anglers con-
and Cleveland are of a character to
appeal to the interest of legislators at
Trenton and induce them to enact the
legislation necessary to afford real pro-
lection to fish and game in New
Jersey.

with cupid rs Chauffeur.

The road lies white beneath the light
OF a rising honeymoon,
And the rushing sound as the wheels spin
round
Swings into an old love-tune.
And every rut on the road of life
Is seen through q rosy blur;
But there's never a fear that the ways
not clear
With Cupid as chauffeur.
And little they care If the n%elghbors stare
As they speed through the land OF dreams
While the old love-light as a signal bright
Ahead on the highway CLEANS.
And there's never a hill of care so steep
But suecnmhs to the gentle stir
That is bound to start in a lovers heart
With Cupid as chauffeur.
So speed they may on their primrose way
To Arcadlan lands afar.
May they travel fast till they step at last
In their wedding touring-car.
And grant them this, oh, lad who feels
A love that is strong for her.
May the ride extend to the journeys end,
With Cupid rs chauffeur.

Gold output Of Alaska.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Does Alaska's output of gold continue
of importance to the nations? Can you give
me the figures? r. H. ID.
This. from u two or three months old
issue Of the Tacoma Ledger, will answer
your question: THE gold mines on the
American side of the line in the Far
Northwesz are this year for the first time
producing much larger quantities of the
precious metal than are being found in
British territory. The yield for 1905 at
Nome and in the surrounding district Is
estimated by experts at approximately
$40. 100000, and the Tanana Valley has
cleaned up 100000. Last year the total
gold production for all Alaska was $685.
600. or nearly $1,000, 600 less than this years
cleanup at Nome alone. where the prin-
cipal increase took place during the last
summer. 1t is safe to assume that the
entire Alaskan gold output will not be far
short of $40, 900. 900. On the other hand,
the Klondike output for 1904, which was
SO, 500, 900, will not be much exceeded by
ita total for 1905 Ed

THE INDEPENDENT IN LEGISLATION.

THE INDEPENDENT IN LEGISLAI4ON.
-Four of the Assembly delegation from
Essex are former representatives of the
New Idea. 1t will take ten Republican
votes, combined with the Democrats,
to tie the House of Assembly on any
bill. If the two Republicans from Ber-
sen shall join with the four Essex men
four additional Republicans will be
needed to tie, and five to have a ma
jority of the House. The query is. Has
the spirit of independence that was
developed in the session of 1905 lie
out? VIII 1t assert itself in the next
Legislature? The Republican majority
in both houses is so large that it APP
pears to be safe from disruption on
any particular question, but is it?
That will depend. A r~eactionary
policy, If attempted, will be sure to
meet Republican resistance, whether it
has the party label or not. The nucleus
of opposition will be the four AS
semblymen from Essex, and such op-
position will be the truest expression
of the Republican sentiment in the
State. But experience has it's lessons.
The Republican leaders were taught by
experience, and needed the signs of
the times when they introduced and
passed the railroad tax bills. the fran
chise limitation act and other popular
measures. The policy Of the party is
forward, not backward; progress, not
reaction. and a due regard for the in
terests and welfare of the State.

MORAL SENTIMENT rs WAITING.

Secretary of State Samuel D. Dickin-
son. who withdrew his libel suit
against Mayor Pagan, of Jersey City.
for the reason. as he stated, hat he
did not desire that his enemies should
use one-sided evidence to the prejudice
of his party, and who promised to re-
new the suit right after the election
in November, has given no sign as yet
of fulfilling his promise. Is the Secre-
tary of State waiting to be goaded
into a renewal of the suit? There will
be no lack of goads.
Charges have been made against the
Secretary of State that, If true, should
exclude him from any association with
decent men and must forbid him to
enter a respectable household. Years
ago a New Jersey State treasurer fell
into evil moral associations in Phila-
delphia and was ruined. He did not
attempt'to brazen it out, and he quick
~ lapsed into obscurity and was char
itably forgotten. Does the Secretary of
State intend to brazen it out? If not,
If he has any idea of attempted vindi-
cation. the quicker he begins his suit
for libel the better. The moral senti-
ment of the State is waiting pon Sec
rotary of State Dickinson.

Irvington is to have a pretty public
park as part of the Essex park system,
the Park Commission having just ac-
quired title to sixteen acres well sltu-
ated and we'll adapted for park pur-
poses. This improvement will enhance
the value of residential property in
Irvington and it win have a great
future value after the town shall

The Park Commission has pursued
an intelligent plan of extension and de-
velopment since the original tracts were
acquired. The mountain reservations
are left for future development because
they are not specially needed at the
present time, while the appropriations
of the commission have been devoted to
the improvement and establishment of
the smaller parks centrally situated

A PROHIBITION WAVED

The claim. based on the adoption Of
prohibition in Southern States, that
a prohibitionist wave Is sweeping
over the country, does moi bear exami-
nation. The reason for the favor with
which prohibition is now regarded in
the South is we'll understood. The
South has a very serious race problem,
and it believes that one of the ways
to solve 1t is by preventing the negro
from getting intoxicating drink. :
The Southern white Will not be at a
loss for means of getting what he
wants, and he is resigned to a little
inconvenience for the sake of keep
ing the Southern black in check.
There is little evidence of an increasing
prohibition sentiment in the North.
In the election in New Jersey last
week the prohibitionist vote averaged
about the same as in previous years.
1t was hardly perceptible in the re-
turns.

Chairman Dalrymple, of the Repub-
lican County Committee, deservedly
commands the appreciation of his
party organization by the ability and
tact with which he conducted the cam
paign in Essex County. The chairman
began well by his efforts to harmonic
the conflicting party elements. which
eliminated in party unity in the con-
vention and in the subsequent am
paign, and insured the election of a
Republican Assembly delegation and a
county clerk, while practically splitting
the county on Governor. When Mr..
Dalrymple was elected chairman of the
county committee there was strenuous
opposition. 1t was claimed that he was
a type of the system that the New
Idea had revolted against. He has
c%onciliated that opposition by fairness
and by good management, and made
good all that was promised for his
leadership.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Please print a history of the importation
of negroes from Africa to this country.
READER.
Negroes were first brought to the Span
ish colonies in America in 1901, from the
Portuguese possessions in Africa. In 1916
Emperor Charles v. legalized the slave
trade and granted a privilege, which was
transferred to the Genoese merchants, for
introducing 1900 Africans to the Spanish
colonies in this country, and some fifty
years later Queen Elizabeth OF England,
through her agent. Sir job Hawkins, en-
gagged in a lucrative African slave trade
with the colonies. AS early as 1913 n
Dutch vessel sold part of her cargo of
Africans to the English colonists on
James River, Virginia. In 1911 the first
negroes brought to South Carolina were
imported by Sir, John Yeamans from the
Barbados. The following year white
slaves from England were sold in Virginia
at $50 (present currency a head, while
negro slaves were bought there at the
same date for from 800 to $t25 a head. In
1927 South Carolinians complained of the
Importation of Africans, both because they
were Africans and because they could be
nothing more than slaves. The mother
country, however, persisted in forcing them
upon the colony, insisting as late as 1T45

great pillar and support Of the British

1t doesn't pay to jump at conclusions.
Once we had a dog that had a bao habit
of jumping at conclusions. When he had
no other animals conclusion to jump at
he would go round and round in a circle
reach his own conclusion.
That puppy would wait until a cow had
gone past n then jump wildly at her
conclusion. AS is the custom of people
similarly afflicted, once he reached a con-
clusion he hung to 1t till he was kicked
loose. AS is usual also with people OF
proclivities, he was a dash-gum-
med nuisance.
But one day hat hasty pup jumped at
a big, thoughtful bay mules conclusion,
and the next day we had TO get a brand
new dog. The old one wasn't even worth
repairing.
No; it doesn't pay to jump at conclu-
sions. -Judge.
