PRECEDENT.

"Tho easy chatter about relinquishing our
ownership of the Philippine islands," says the
New York Tribune, appears to ignore the essen
tia and fundamental fact that such an act would
be unique in history inasmuch as it would
be the first time that this nation has parted
with any portion Of It's domain"
SO speak those who wish to do nothing that
has not been done before, ignoring the essential
and fundamental fact" that If such policy were
universally followed the world would be at a
standstil and that If 1t had always been followed
in their tracks There is nothing essential" or
fundamental" In the fact stated by the Tribune.
There is nothing in 1t at all. II it had always
been the custom of this government to relinquish
Its possessions the matter OF retiring from the
Philippines now would not be a question for dis
cussion. It would be accepted as inevitable, If,
indeed, II had not been accomplished years be
fore
1t had not been the policy of this country to
purchase domain, but that did not prevent Presi-
dent Jefferson from purchasing Louisiana. 1t
had not been the policy OF this country to ac-
quire non-contiguous territory, but that did not
prevent the purchase OF Alaska. II had not been
the policy of this country to acquire territory in
the far East. but that did not prevent this coun-
try from taking the Philippines from Spain, 1t
has not been the policy OF the world to adopt the
form of government under which we now live.
but that did notpreyent the revolutionary fathers
from adopting just such government,
The independence of the Philippines may not
be granted just now 1t may be that such &C.
ton would be bad public policy and bad for the
Philippines, but TO declare that 1t should not be
done, but because IL never has been done, is an
argument puerile as 1t is old and as old as
1t is ineffective.

THE WAITING Is hong.

"Wi the time never come when the men OF
Petersburg will manifest as much interest in
questions Of real Importance to the city they
manifest In oleeting a friend 10 Office" asks the
Petersburg IndtT-AppeaF In reference to the cam
paign. or rather lack of campaign, for compui-
sorry education law in that city.
That question might be asked IN every city
and hamlet in this nation, win the time ever
come when men anywhere will manifest AS much
interest in a cause or in good laws or In the en-
forcement OF good laws as they manifest in the
election of friends to Office? In other words
win the time ever come when people will take
much interest In the good Of city, State ma
ton as they take In their own personal advance
ment or that of their friends? TIE Fhgintan Is
optimistic enough to believe that 1t win but the
waiting win be long.
In the meantime The TUginian hopes that the
Tnder-Appeat will be able TO stir up In Peters

tion that was lately manifested in turning some
officers out and putting others in. 1t would be
a great thing for Petersburg to be one OF the

Babies Just as Fat

Congressman John z. Raker. of California,
in an interview in the Washington Times of
August 9Th, emphatically denies the stories told
by some Eastern anti-suffragists against the
working of equal suffrage in California. He
says:
THE women In my State among the
earliest to vote. One of the things noticeable
in the elections In which women have taken part
the order that was maintained about the
polling places
THE boards had provided In advance for the
women voters and had procured better booths
and polling places than had been the rule In the
past.
THE women go to the polls and vote; then
they go home and attend to their household
duties. 1t is like going shopping after break
tre.s+tit DIS
sensions, either at the polls or elsewhere. It Is
no uncommon sight to husband and Wife
go TO the polls together. Sometimes the husband
votes first and then holds the baby while his
wife registers her vote. After the woman has
cast her vote she goes home and gets just
good dinner she would have cooked
before she given ethe franchise, and might
add that the father eats it with just as good a
relish and the baby is fat and healthy as
the babies before California gave women
the right to vote.
Il believe suffrage has come 70 stay" contln-
ned MIR. Kaker. Not only has It come to stay.
but il Is coming right along. Those who haven't
had II will have it within a very short time.
cannot see any reason why one-half the in
tcligence and ability in our country should be
wasted by depriving women of the ballot The
girls and young women in our schools and coll
eges have been educated in political economy,
civil efvernment and kindred lines, and since
they taught these things and since they
undoubtedly have intelligence enough to help
run the government should the occasion arise,
why should they he deprived of she baIot?"

John r. Lightfoot. one OF the re-
ceivers Of the Commonwealth bank.
SAID last night that nothing can be

time, an. ugh many of the depositors
slabor under the impression that they
would receive their money from. the
receivers as soon as appointed.
Dividends will be declared under
orders OF the court as soon az the
amount IN our hands justifies dis
tribution," said Mr.. Lightfoot. 1T is
impossible for us to say when this
will be. hut we shall use every EFFORT
to realize on the assets as soon as the
nature of the case will permit. We
cannot express any opinion as to what
will ultimately be paid to the deposit
tors"
The receivers are now seeking to
draw In outstanding notes and obliga-
tons to the banks. and in short
while will try to dispose of the real
estate and other assets of the bank so
that sufficient funds may be secured
with which to pay depositors and
other creditors.

them with the receivers to be written

In getting these pass books Is re-
tarding the work of the receivers and

All collection notes and other prop
erty. upon which the bank has no
claim will be delivered as soon as the
auditors complete their work.

GENEROUS TREATMENT.

Given tho opportunity to lecture it's fellow-his-
tory sharp. 1t refrains and assures the Danville
Register that It will suspend sentence. but that
another such historical error as It recently per

Although the records Of expenditures of the
Virginia colony are incomplete, and the real fs-
cal importance OF the export tax on tobacco can
not be exactly known. still the decrease nj the
Importance OF the poll tax may be compared
with the increase in the amount Of this tax
and it's significance is clear.
The policy of indirect taxation was further
carried into effect by the imposition upon the
recon m endaton of Governor Efhngharn of an
import duty of three pence per gallon on all
spirits In 1879, which continued for twenty
years, and yielded about 500 pounds sterling
per annum. Previous to this al important auty
of six pence per gallon rum and A pennv per
pound sugar had been levied as, early as e61.
but IL repealed in the year after it was
passed. In 1881 four pence per gallon on ali
spirits imported In foreign vessels was Imposed
together with rate Of two pence on that inn

My Wife's Husband.


 A safe distance in the lead of all the other bills yet produced by the Bowker Musical Comedy company, is one which opened last evening for the first part of the week, at the Empress. It is rip roaring comedy of the highest order, and there is not a dull moment during the entire action. Those who were fortunate enough to see the Girl at Rectors' more than likely formed the opinion that Claud Kelly had reached his limit in producing first-class com edies in tabloid form, but in the present bill. he neatly put one over" and IS offering something entirely out of the ordinary It is little play with plot two acts in fact, but arranged in the form of a continuous performance, and every line contains a laugh. MT. Kelly in the lead male role scores heavily. He has ample opportunity for leading up to humorous situations. and is ably assisted in bringing out the laughs. MT. Lawson is again cast for a Hebrew character role, but it is one entirely diff ferent from anything he has yet es- saved However, he handles it just right and gets away big. MT Marshall is also responsible for many "giggles' through his clever interpretation of IzZY Cute the detective. Mss val seems right at home in her role, and takes advantage of her every oppor- tunity. Miss Rowe scores a double success. One in her lines through the bill and one in her clever singing, T Love You California during which she was assisted by the chorus probably scored the biggest hit of the musical program. although her rendition of "All Night Long" runs it a very close sec ond. This song is handled as a solo, first and then, at the invitation of Miss Rowe, the audience all join in the chOrus-sOme singing, others Whistling It makes a very enjoyable number. Mr. Marshall, singing T Love Her-Oh Oh Oh" has a song which seems to just suit him and he is delivering it in great style. Miss Vail is singing I'm Going To Take The First Train during which the chorus is seen to excellent adVan- tage MT. Lawson with his T Wont Come Back" is the recipient of much applause. In all the musical numbers lately the chorus is steadily advancing and under the clever direction of Miss Spies has greatly improved, so that now it takes it's place among the best of the tabloid companies.

SECRETARY soYcE RETURNS

Jesse L. Boyce. secretary of the state tax commission returned from his va cation in the mountains near Williams Sunday and reported at the office yes terdav morning to find that the chair in which his portly person was used to esconce itself had shrunk and was no longer comfortable. MT Boyse, whose deer hunting proclivities are well known, went on a hunt it is said in search of his favOrite game. but the search was hard and apparently fruit less and Boyce becoming tired lay down in the shade of a comfortable mesquite bush to snOoZe. During the forty winks several deer attracted by the snores came up and negHgently walked on BOyse. much to his chagrin Anyhow. his vacation has increased his weight and good nature and the hair on his erstWhile bald pate has grown somewhat.

Oh! Ny Back!

A stub born backache that hangs on, week after week, is cause to suspect kidney trouble, for when the kidneys are inflamed and swollen, bending the back brings a sharp twinge that almost takes the breath away.
 It's hard to work and just as hard to rest or sleep.
 Doan's Kidney Pills re- vive sluggish kidneys-re- Heve congested, aching kid neys. The proof is an amaz- ing collection of backache testimonials.

 In she thrilling comedy, Ready Money" which William Brady, Ltd, z.iu present at the EIks Tnealer Fri day. oct l3, there is this World-old question of marrying fir love. but
 tIeated in d novel manner. There is Grace Tyler who is very much in love
 with stephen Baird, and there is
 Grace's mother, who objects to Ste rhen; furthermore, who decides. that
 her daughter shall never marry Ste rnen. There seems nothing the mat ter with the young man except that he finds himself where many young men ind themselves in these days of the high cost of living. It doesn't give stephen much satisfaction to
 reflect that the mother of his beloved i is unreasonable He casts about for something that will allow him to i overcome parental difficulties.
