It is encouraging to find In "The Evening Post" a recognition of the fact that a very'im portant opp unity. is before the people of tho Philippines In the coming election of a territor ial assembly, and we are embolden •d to nope that in time even Mr. Krvlng Wlnslow will adopt the name reasonable point of view. The opinion lias hitherto been expressed with much frequency and vehemence that the election would ho little more than vanity of vanities, and that whatever the Filipinos might do or might de monstrate concerning their capacity for self. government they would be kept Inexorably be neath the tyranny of that '^criminal aggression* which anti-imperialists never weary of predicat ing <>f American control of that archipelago. The truth is that the election is to be held In •ntire good faith so far as our government is concerned, that the Filipinos will have a full and free opportunity to show their (itness for the conduct of their own affairs, and that they will, as a sequence of the election^ be Intrusted with such responsibility ju*t as far as they have shown their fitness for it. We may unhesitatingly ir<> further than that, and say that ail responsible member* of the American government, both at Washington and st Manila, and we believe a large majority of thoughtful and prudent American citizens, cher ish a sincere hope that the niipinos win im prove their opportunity the full and will show a higher capacity for self-government than even their most ardent champions here have expected. The notion that American. In official or In pri vate life, generally desire our "white man's bur den" In those islands to remain Indefinitely as heavy, as galling and as irksome as possible is unworthy to be held outside of Bedlam. Every taxpayer's dollar spent, eve;/ soldier's life lost, in the work of redeeming those islands^rom th. chaos In which we found them is a concrete and convincing argument for desiring that work of redemption to he "njedlly and permanently mc cessful and for the islands, through the patri otic anil enlightened action of their own people, to reach a condition in which they will be no wore a cau?e of cost or anxiety to us than Is Hawaii or Porto Rico. Ia thbj view of the case, which we ar« con- fldent is the correct one. It Is quite within bounds to say, as -does ••The Evening Post," that the coining election will invest the Philippine problem with a now aspect and that in it the people of those islands are face to face with a supreme crisis In their history. Ii 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 wis.» the exhortation that they should "make •it Apparent that the Filipino nation is not an "accidental conglomeration of different tribes "actuated by no common purpose and speaking "no common language, but a thoroughly bar "monious people, capable of governing them "selves and united In their desire for indepen dence,*/ because that is an exhortation to make apparent something which is not existent. It iB not it fact that the Filipinos are a "thoroughly harmonious people." It is a fact that they are "a "conglomeration of different tribes. speaking no common language," and; we may add. often nni mated by bitter hostility toward one another. Thai Is ii fact, etbnologically, phllologlcally, bo cially, religiously and politically, and to that very fact a large part of our troubles in govern ing the islands has been directly due. The pre fence that the black, brown, yellow and white, races, all of which are represented in the Phil ippines, are Identical, anrtMhat Tagals, Visayans. .Moros and Negritos are "a thoroughly harmoni ous people,',! i* fallacious and would prove mis chievous if accepted as a basts of action. In the coming election and in the reorganized gov ernmental system which follows It the part of wisdom and or profit will be to recognize facts and not to Indulge in fancies. ffX-GOl ERNOR HIOGIXB. The death of ex-Governor Hlggins bo booh after bis retirement from office imparts a pa thetic, almost tragic, aspect to his service In the executive chair It had long been known that he performed his trying l!lsk under rden of ill health, bat few realized to what an extent he was nerving himself to the work with unselfish devotion to duty and how be was consciously shortening bis own days by rsistency, in spite of family and friend-, in keeping up and performing to the last detail every obligation which be felt attached to the tru^-t with which he had been honored. There were not lacking those, knowing this full well, whose petty malevolence was equal to Bnee»lng a as deficient In courtesy to bis successor and trying t«> picture him as a Bulking and dia gruntled politician because he stayed at a hotel instead of becoming a guest at the Executive Mansion in Inauguration week. These ma sly cruel attacks were directed against :i man so intent i»:i showing every possible cour tesy and doing all that be could to make the start of Governor Hughes auspicious that, though be sat In bis room on the hist day of the year scarcely able to bold a pen, be rep] those who urged him to avoid the strain of the ceremonies that he would go to the Capitol the day and make the speech welcoming Gov ernor Hughes if it killed him. He made the 1 with obvious difficulty, nnd the effort of those daya probably hastened the progress of iiis disease. Governor ll levins was nt the head <>f th< government in a time of unrest and tran Conventional political and business standards had to be recast In harmony with a newly awakened popular aspiration. With that aspl rati"ii be thoroughly sympathized, and he did much to prom. ite its realization. Bi not load a popular movement, at hast in a showy and striking manner. Moreover, the dis ease from which it is now clear be Buffered from the beginning of hla term \\a* probably in a large 1 responsible for the dellbei in crises which was sometimes the regr< I of h h friends and the joy of bis enemies. Neverthe- In his own way, subject to these limita tions of temperameut and of streugth, lie was unswervingly loyal ti> his Ideals of public service, and he. left office with an unbleuiislw record, having done many g i deeds for the itate, not all of which were popularly <■; t<> him. So man ever sought to determine ■ political proposition before bim by tin whether It was absolutely ri^ht or wrong more faithfully than Governor lllgglns, and I - tukes were Invariably mistakes of judgment, not of intention. And with all bis Inabil advertise, In his unostentatious way be was uu effective force fur reform. As a Senator be hud been active In opp to Improper legislation and In Improving the public service. On becoming Governor he made it dear that be would Independently di bis duties, and be early earned the enmity "f machine, politicians. H<- secured .-i real insur ance investigation n t the cost "f misconception and abuse by those who In their baste vv.nild have secured a Bhaiu Investigation.

Though apparently lacking in talent as a politician, be did much to secure the reform of the Republican organiza tion in this city, defeated a reactionary move ment t'» control the party In the suite and paved the way for the nominatiou and election of Mr. Hughes. He lived :i dean, bighminded, unself ish life, and the people of New York have re son to honor his memory. The state lms had more commanding | n< ver 0 more. faithful one. .1 DOCTRTXE MISREPRERKSmi). Dr. De Marions has suggested, of course with out accepting;, the hypothesis' that tho Drago Doctrine "is to form a guarantee to any power not to pay its debts." Beyond doubt, if that were its purport it would not "evoke very much sympathy" and would not "be approved even in the United States." Hut that is certainly not Its purport, as Dr. De Martens knows, and it is not easy to see what good purpose is to be served by even referring seriously to no gross a misapprehension or misrepresentation of it. unless to expose and condemn its falsity. The other hypothesis suggested by Dr. De Mar tens Is unquestionably correct so far as tli» purport of the doctrine is concerned, mid Is probably as correct a forecast of Its effect as could 1)0 made, namely, that it ■will promote the peaceful rather than the forcible settlement of disputed matters bet\v6eri nations. There is no more ground for the assumption or the sus picion that the Drago Doctrine is meant to aid and shield repudiation of debts than there is or was for the notion, which was occasionally put forth a few years ago, that the Monroe Doc trine was used as a shield behind which Ameri can nations were free to commit all ports of International wrongs. We must assume that Dr. De Martens has what seems to him authority for his statement tliat the late Secretary Hay accepted the Drago Doctrine "with considerable reserve," but we expect It will bo received with surprise verging upon Incredulity in this country among those who ,are familiar with the substantially un broken policy and attitude of this government upon the subject. Nobody ever more Btrohglv maintained thaa did Mr. Hay that claims should be presented in the ordinary tribunals of Jus tice, and pressed to the full capacity of those tribunals, before the giving of so much as a hint at the exercise of diplomacy, oof to men tion force, for their satisfaction, and we mug Incline to the J*'lief that Mr. Hay was hi entire accord with the long established policy of his predecessors, which was recently expressed with unmistakable clearness, by his successor, to the effect that "the United States has never "deemed It to be suitable that she should use "her army and navy for the collection of or NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 1007. "dlnary contract debts -of foreign governments •'io her citizens." Tte continuation of Mr. Hoofs statement may also profitably be re called: F.»r mote than a century the State Depart d to take such action, and that has become the settled policy of our country. We deem U to be inconsistent with that re l'or the sovereignty of weaker "po wers which is essential to their protection against the aggression of the strong. We deem the for the collection of ordinary coi an Invitation to abuses in their necessary results far worse, far more baleful to humanity, than that the debts contracted by any nation should co unpaid. We consider that the use of the army b C a great power to compel a weaker power to answer to a rontraci with a private individual la both an invitation to spec ulation upon tin 1 necessities of weak and strug gling countries ana an Infringement upo sovereignty of tl tries, and we are now, as we have always been, opposed to it. and we believe that, perhaps not to-day nor to-morrow, bur through the slow and certain process of the . the world will come to the same opinion. That is n statement consistent with th« American record and with the known facts of history plsmvhere, it Is unhappily notorloils that there lias been "speculation upon the ne cessltles of weak and struggling countries," with resultant claims of an exaggerated amount. It is Indisputable, too, that there have been reck less extravagance on the part of some <>f those weak and struggling countries and profligacy In the use of money borrowed and in the treat tnent of contract obligations. But the Drago Doctrine, or the policy of the United States, or the principle enunciated by Lord Palmerston and repeated bj Lord Salisbury they arc all substantially the same- would, as it seems t.> us, operate to discourage and prevent both those evils. If money lenders and proniotera generally understood that they could not have their claims collected by force nor by diplo matic intervention, bnt would be left to the jurisdiction of the common courts of the •••>im tries with which they dealt, they would bo far more circumspect and cautious In making their investments and contracts, and that clrcnra stance in turn would move countries needing the aid of foreign capital to make and show themselves worthy of confidence. The question is also raised by Dr. De Mar tens whether if Is well to discuss at The Hague matters upon which It Is Improbable that any definite action will be taken. The general Judgment of the world will, wo think, be that it is. Of course, v would be unfortunate to take up all or most of the time or" the congress with mere talk, when there are some important topics of which definite disposition could and should be made. We can safely leave II judgment of the congress not to fall Into that error. Bui not every Important BUbject can be finally acted upon the first time it is consld ered. There are some subjects which need much discussion, perhaps continued thi I conferences during a term of years. Tt leed, as a result of such deliberations that some of the most Important and ational conventions have been made, if will, therefore, be worth while to have the Drago Doctrine presented at The Hague and dl? to an Rppropriato extent even though it may not actually be enacted by that congress. Till: TRAGEDY AT SEA. The frightful disaster which overtook -.'ho 3>>y Line steamboat Larchmont appears to bo a rid dle in the minds of the survivors. Captain ; Haley of the schooner Harry Knowlton, tho yes- i ; Bel with which the Larchmont was In collision. ' ; is reported as saying that lit* should never quite ! ! understand how the accident ..Ted. The i night was clear and starry, and the sea was not : | dangerously rough. Long before the crash <><•- '■ j curred the coal schooner had sighted the p.-i*- ' ! eenger boat, aud, according to the sanie captain's I | testimony, there does not seeui to have been any ' | confusion uf signals. l! will probably occur to many Bummer res!- : | dents of the Rhode Island shore to suggest as a i ! plausible explanation of the accident the hilfrago ' i effects which are a common source of Interest between Watch 11111 and Point Judith during tlw : I hoi months. Whether or not similar mirage »>f- ; fe<-ts prevail during the winter season is v fact j ' yet to be determined before tills suggestion can J Ibe accepted. Perhaps the meteorologists and ! ! ipuers, or, better still, the local fishermen ■ j anil llfesavlng crew, can st-ttle that point. At I all events, a sudden increase or decrease In the I | apparent size of vessels traversing that rhoui j bold of sea whose comers are Point Judith*, ■ Block Island, Montauk Point and \V .teh 11111 Is I a phenomenon familiar to many persons.

It will m cm near at band, j : and then sudden appear far away.

They tua.v not do bo very persistently, and their aesthetic yearnings may not be leading t > any immeillate prai tlcal result, so that, for Instance, any one visiting Chicago, Bay, Qve years from now wIH be able to Bee a marked Improvement in its appearance and be able to trace it to the discussion of beautj plans In 1906; but at any rate there la a growing public realization thai the clti< not a delight to the eye and thai haphazard trusting to luck in municipal development re sults Inhnrmonlously. Everywhere commltteeH are pointing out In the newspapers how much bettor Borne «lty would havo looked "if it could only have been foreseen" ; If this or thai river front, lake front, seacoast had been ti v with some regard to the dignity <>r the grown metropolis. We hear of "civic centres," sug genting n growing conception of the effective of noble public buildings in a group, nol scattered nbout the town us if thoy were n mere matter of sperulatlvi nstmctlon. There is a questioning of thai consummation of human wisdom, the checker-board arrangcmeul of streets. Of course these ipstlietlc yearnings do nol generally become translated Into action, and they perhaps only refloci prreal credit upon their "yearners" as a superior sorl of persons who Jin- able to s.^c ''what mighl have been." A pamphlet on what Huston might have been, and in part may still be, has been pul there by a committee representing certain rum mercial bodies of the city, like the Chamber of Commerce and the Stock Exchange. To* gestsons In II are the personal Ideas <>f members of the committee, and their (esthetic yearnings receive no indorsement from the bodies pub lishing the pamphlet. The criticisms of the committee are local, of course, but In o sense they have a general application. We read of the Boston City Halt, court House and State House: [f Beacon Hill had been crowned by these Important public buildings, the city would been dominated by a worthy Acropolis ommon would have forced a parkllke aj> to them, and we . had a dignified municipal < ■ ntre. iff course not every community Is blessed with a bill to leave to the sure abuse of chance, but the reader doe* noi have ;.. be acquainted with Boston in order to deplore misplaced pub He buildings and k>sl opportunities. We might rtlmos* say thai the comi tones! of municipal (esthetic yearnings to-day ;<; < ror a "civic centre with a parkllke approach." Sow, thai may be a very ( ventiouai Idea of city beauty, bul It represents something better arid more dignified than the straggling disorder of haphazard. Let as read ■ few more criticisms of the Hub: We surround Coplej Square with costly build -!<•'■ how to treat the square itself we leave it unarrangfed and half finished. •J'lio costly frame is Iwight, but the picture la unpointed for v>nnt of skill. Our parks are defaced with a frtuge of cheap tenements . . . Our harbor Islands, once wooded, are row bare . . . the waters of our harbor are denied with sewage. Our streets resound with a deafening noise, and over the whole town hangs the unnecessary cloud of soft 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 ously apply only t«> Boston. .Some of them are novel, such as building an Island in tbe Charles Elver basin, as the river Is too wide for archi tectural 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 tion and more of the arts and beauties of civili zation than they do now. When it comes some of today's plans for city beautifying may be realized. MR. VALLOCK ON BOCIALIBM. If we may judge by past achievements and the Introductory lecture of yesterday, Mr. Mai lock's five addresses <'v socialism and allied questions at Columbia University, under the auspices of the National Civic Federation, are likely to throw much lighi on the problems in volved, and perhaps even v. shift the focus of controversy. Tho easy charma of Mr. Mallock's s!yi<« and that species of persuasiveness which springs from versatility will doubtless inako his technical handling <>f complicated themes both entertaining and Illuminating. Mr. Mallock'a starting poini indicated a keen appreciation of the bearings of more recent eco nomic si tidies upon the theory of socialism. The doctrine of the oldei onomists, that the value <>t' commodities is regulated and deter- I by the amount of labor normally em bodied in them, is the Inspiration and life of virtually all socialistic theorizing since the daya of .Marx. Only in r» al years havo the falla cies Of iliis hypothesis been located by students and some first attempts made to revise the theory of values. Mr. Mallock promises to jive 11 new analysis Of the types of Industrial el'- I'urt which havo heretofore been crudely lumped together under the vague, misleading title of labor; he further promises that the results of thia nnalysia will affect the validity of social istic tj'ieory. it is to h<> hoped that thesa lectures may bo the means of bringing together the intelligent advocates and opponents of socialism in frlend r debate. If Mr. Ma Hock has something new and raggestlve t<» offer, it behooves both parties i«> weigh his remarks carefully.

Secretary Shaw calls the Treasury bureau In which the government's promises to pay and other forms of legal tender are printed a "sweat shop."
