the Phlllrlplne census was published, ami
ronseiuently two years from that date,
March 27. 1907, under tha terms of the art
f congress, the president will direct the
Philippine commission to chII a general
election for the choice of delegates to what
will be known as the Philippine assembly.
This body Is to take over all legislative
powers heretofore exercise by the Phtlllp-

A this date draws near the Philippine
people tire showing signs of agitation, and
to the officials here It lit evident thrt they
axe expecting some benefits that cunnot
at once be realized. For Instance, the as
sembly -of provisional governors, recently
In amnion In Manila, with the view to ar
ranging the preliminaries for the meetlni?
nf the Philippine assembly. 4a reported to
have recommended that the suffrage be
widely extended.
Hnsla of Hufrrane.
Tt In pointed out here that this Is nut pos
sible,, for the reason that the act or con
Hies, under which the assembly will bo
convened, exp-essly states the uutillftcu
tlons of voters. These, In brief, are that
the voter must be ut least Ti years old
fwhlch was the Spanish requirement); must
be able to rend and write cither Spanish
nr English, or must own a certain snuill
amount of properly, or must have been in
office holder under the Span- I
enl. These qualifications were !
thv past an
Ish governnienl. These qu
framed upon the old Spanish practice and
no Philippine assembly can change them.
The new assembly or legislature will con.
slst of two houses to be known as the
Philippine commission .or assembly.- the
latter to consist of not lees than fifty nor
Jimre Jltati W members. It is probable that

.NEW YORK, Oct. 3H. Timothy L. Wood-
iuff chairman of the state republican com-
mittee, said tmuy that ho would advise
President Roosevelt to repudiate a rem
palgn document Issued by tlie independ
rnee league in -uppoit of W. R. Hearst's
candidacy for governor. Mr. Woodruff ob
jects to the publlrjitlun In parallel columns
of extr.trts from tha speed. of the presi
dent and Mr. Harst as to the proper use
of wealth. Mr. Woodruff said, concerning-
the publication:
It is earnestly hoped that President
Roosevelt, who has to a degree long main
tained a position thst he cannot Interfere
in local politics, will take up this matter
and denounee the author of the Illusion. It
wax expected that sueh sn effort as this
would be made by Hearst to influence
voter s.

garding the publication of tlie parallel
views of the president and Hearst. I find
it to be a serious matter and will ure
upon the president the advisability of
breaking hia rul of silence in local politi
cal matters and replv to this insinuation.
I am aware that the president is not in
clined to Interfere In atate politics, but In
view of this publication 1 would strongly
utaB that the president btrnk his silence
and repudiate the author or the man who
would benefit by that statement.
Tue statement reierr"a to yuoies i rrsc
Roosevelt's fpeecli at Oyster Bay
ember 8, when he is reported as
that the multimillionaire Is not a
ut a good to the community If he
apj. ,lates that he Is only a trustee Mr
that ' wealth and uses it for causes of
goodness. From a speech by the president
at Washington on July fi last, he la
quoted as saying that very wealthy men
may sometimes play a useful part in life,
but they rarely ure an useful as lives
which are expended In different fields from
those of money getting. To henp riches on
richoa. the president 1 quoted as saying,
is merely au evil.
Against thla Mr. learst Is quoted In a
parallel column as saying there should uc
as far aa possible, an equal distribution
of wealth; thut ho believed In organlsa-!
tlona that tend to distribute wealth; that
Its distribution Is as Importan as Its crea
tion, and that "one law-defying millionaire
In Jail will do more than any other single
thing to regulate trust Inequality."
Both William R. Hearst and Charles K.
Hughes experienced bad weather on their
campaigning tours today. Snow fell last
night and turned to a sleety rain In tlie up
state counties today. Hoth candidates had
busy duys mapped out for them, Mr.
Hearst being scheduled to speak ut I
Seneoa Falls, Waterloo. Geneva and
Canandaigua during the duy and to inuk"
four addresses tonight in Rochester. Mr.
Hughes' first address of the day was ut
Batavla, where he told a large audience

Balance on the HI a: tit Side.
Charles H. Treat, treasurer of the United
States, submitted his annual report to the
jfiretnry of tho treasury today, and in
reference to the more noticeable transac
tions said In part:
The ret result of the nrdlnury revenues
and expenditures for the fiscal year 1!HW
was a surplus of IJi.W(.J,.,2. as compared
with a deficit of K'3.U;4.&S for tlie preceding
year. A continuation of those favorable
conditions is reflected In the transaction
for the first quarter ot the rurrent fiscal
year, in which the revenues were I5.871,
314 In excess of the expenditures.
The available cash balance on June SO,
!n, was I1NO,t9.364. an increase of :!5.211,

months earlier- . . ..

The treasury holdings of gold continues
to attract the attention of financiers, hoth

the continued accumulation that a large
share of the prodm-t of the gold mines of
the world is brought to the I'nlu-d States.

Special Dispatch to the World-Herald.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. Feb. 3, 19c3.--At
tho rnecilng of- the Democratic Kdltnrlul
association this evening resolutions were
unanimously adopted endorsing House Roll
171 and also 'the revenue, measure, now be
fore the Nebraska legislature. A special
committee, of which C. J. Bowlby, editor
of the Crete Democrat,- was chairman and
CP. Caspar, editor of the David City
Press, secretary, reported the following'-
We denonaoe ths attempt of the railway
lobby to deceive the pnblio with respect
to House Boll 171, now pending before ths
ITsbraska legislature, ths sajns being a
bill assigned to require railroad oompaalsa
to bear their Just proportion of taxation
la cities of ths metropolitan class.
Ths attempt on ths part of ths railroad
lobby to make it appear through editorial!,
admittedly written by the lobby sad paid
for by ths railroads, that this measure,
'If snacted into law, would affect taxes to
be paid by ths railroads for stats, county
and school purposes ls Indefeasible and
deserves prompt and vigorous rebuke at
the heads of all who bslisvs thst ths
truth should be known with respect to
every public measars and who object to
ths escape of taxation by ths railroads for
stats, county, city or school purposes.
Ws believe it to be ths duty of svsry
dsmoexatlo member of ths Isglslatnrs to
vote for House Soil 171 and register his
protest in an effective way against ths at
tempt of ths railroads to deceive ths peo
. pis, and through such deception escape
their proportion of taxation.
This resolution was thoroughly discussed
snd wss adopted by a unanimous vota of
the association.
Action of Uesaorratle Edltore.
The World-Herald congratulates ths Dem
ocratic Editorial Association of Nebraska
upon the adoption of a resolution endorsing
House Roll 171 (providing for municipal
taxation of railway terminals). Although
the railroad lobby Is exerting its best ef
forts to hoodwink the people with respect
to thla bill. It has failed to pull the wool
over the optics of ths democratic editors
of this state.
The democratic editors have taken the
correct position. It is to be hoped that Iho
-uKtei'tioii they inak to the members of
the Irgibiuturu a ill be adopted b at least
every democratic and populist member.

not be taken back to Utah to starve. Wo
would lather die first," is the substance
of the answer of Chief Appah to tho sol
diers. The Indians are getting bolder an. I
paying no uttentlon tu the soldiers. A
flght was almost t&Larud last night whc4,
an Indian encountered a scntirrl (if the
Tenth cavlry. The Indian refused to turn
out of thgath and rudily bumped against
the soldier. Only the Intervention of some

cowboys are hired by the soldiers ui tenuis
to keep track of the ludians. Tbe lateit
