They may all hail from one State, and
the American people are perfectly con-
tent
Which is true. Politics have not in
truded into the navy. Unhappily they
have to some extent got their grip
upon the army. When the President
comes to the appointment of Generals
he generally feels it incumbent upon
him to select with some consideration
for political geography. When we
make the army as free as is the navy,
we will have reached a happy condi-
ton.
This carries our thought a step
further. Why should not the policy
that is a source of pride and strength
so far as the navy is concerned, be ex-
tended to the Consular and Ministerial
service? In short, why not take these
| branches of Government out of poll
scs? Let US begin now-it will take
many years to complete the task-to
| establish a diplomatic school by TAX

Consular and Ministerial offices out OF
| politics. Begin the work Of training
up men for these positions; make the
filing of these offices depend wholly
upon fitness based upon experience
through preparatory training.
1t may be done. The nations of Eu-
rope have accomplished it, and the
wisdom of their system is so boldly be-
fore US that it is simply undeniable. In
| fact no nation has been so much the
awful example of mismanagement and
unwisdom regarding foreign service, as
has ours. Let us lift the service to
| the naval level, and get it up out OF
the rut and mire of politics. Let US
resolve once for all, that Consular and
Ministerial appointments shall no long
/ er be political footballs.

Why, she fell off four points in as

The stockbroker was interrupted by
the voice of a dusky waiter, who sidled
up and inquired:
ANY youse gemmen hab so-o-p?"
No, no, no! Let US alone; we're talk

The waiter glided away and in mo-

Chicago wheat was being thoroughly

waiter who had disturbed them before
ambled uD and with a spacious smile
observed:
Did any youse gemmen want
s-o-o-o-p?"
Hang it all, no! We don't want any
of your soup! Let US alone
With a growl the three men began
their conversation again, and were soon
mixed up with Congress, the Kansas
Pacific, and a wild conglomeration of
quotations, when. as if by magic, the
selfsame waiter loomed up at their
side. This time he adopted patroniz-
ing air. and. bending down low to
catch the answer, asked:
(which one of youse gemmen was it
dat wanted s-o-o-o-p?"
The conversation Immediately stopped
and the eyes of the three men were
directed at the waiter One of the men
pushed his hat back on his head and
looked steadily at the grinning coon.

Gods sake, is this soup compulsory"
The walters smile broadened, and as

formation. he replied:

not more than Is years of age, walked

ALLURING, BUT NOT ENOUGH

If one fourth is truth that is told
about the Philippines by those who
have lived in those islands, We should
not be surprised that Spain should
dread to lose them. and should resolve
to send 10000 soldiers there to wrest
them from US. Nor should we be sur
prised that a strong sentiment is grow
ing up in this country in favor OF the
United States keeping what it has won
Nor should we be at all surprised that
the European and Oriental Powers are
so jealous of US in our recent triumph
at Manila
We are assured by old residents that
the climate is not unhealthful as has
been represented, that it is not deadly
in its tropfc character, that it is not
unfit for occupation by white, fair
skinned races. We are assured that the
chief drawbacks are the earthquakes
and hurricanes. In mineral wealth, we
are told, the islands are rich beyond
the widest immaginings, especially in
copper. iron. and most metals of man
ufacture. That vegetation is limitless
in variety and luxuriance; that the
scenery is picturesque and charming be-
yond compare that Manila is a city
strangely attractive in its half Oriental,
half Spanish style that it's drives are
unequaled in the world, and its gardens
are bowers of beauty such as We can
form no conception of.
The commercial wealth of the Philip
pines. we are assured, far exceeds any
thing that has been represented to US,
and it needs only the enterprise and
business skill of the Yankee or the
English nation to quadruple it in five
years time So the tales of the old
timers run.
Some allowance for yarn spinning
must be made, but this is certainly true,
it is a region of wonderful wealth and
enormous possibilities. Business is now
mainly in Chinese hands. The Chinese
are the real controllers and the Spanish

output of energy.
Nevertheless we fail to find in all
these things reasons why the United
States should annex the territory
rather than use it as a lash to whip
Spain into justice-and violate the ira
ditions of our policy by such distant
acquisition, in which departure there
lies danger to American institutions.

Grand Jury Begins to Probe the Newest of the School
 Scandals.
Practiced in the Supplying of Lumber

The committee of the Grand Jury con- ducting the investigation into the repair ing of school buildings during the first half of the present fiscal year has made its report and the entire body has taken the matter up with the intention of run ming to earth every man who has had a hand in the gigantic steal.
 A special session of the Grand Jury was held last nign. for the purpose, and after returning an indictment against Stanton, who Is alleged 70 have attempted to ex- tort money from School Director Ragan (whoSe brOther-in-law John O'Brien, ought to know a whole lot about the latest scandaD, proceeded with the busi- ness on hand.
 Expert Richards was first summoned to the secret chamber. MT. Richards Is the regular Grand Jury expert, and as- sisted the lumber experts, MeSSrS. Holt and Campbell, furnished by the Lumber Dealers Association, in all their investi- gationS.
 Each man figured up the amount of lumber used separately, and the result was entered in a book, the accuracy of the figures being vouched for by all three. MT. Richards presented this book to the Grand Jury and exrlained the methods of procedure and the discrepancies be- tween the quantities charged for and what was actually found.
 MT. Holt followed and gave the jury some valuable points on measuring lum- Der, besides describing his investigations at the various schools and their results. After Mir. Campbell had given similar tes- timony the Grand Jury continued yhe hearing until next Monday night.
 Grand Jurymen Emil Bauer, Il. A. He'd ger, Dr. Bryan and A. B. Truman, with Experts Holt, Campbell and Rickard, continued their inspection of school build ings yesterday and the result disclosed as bad state of affairs as at any of those previously inspected. Short meas Der to be obtained were the rule without an exception, while the city had been in- variably charged the highest contract price.
 If the city had on hand all the plank ing 1t has paid for during the first half of the present fiscal year, but no trace of which can be found-and it Is reasonable there would be enough to replank every school yard in the city.
 The Western Addition was the scene of operations yesterday, two schools, in ad- 0luon to the measurement of some addi- tional lumber found in the bill against the Hamilton Grammar School, being gone over. In order that no question the investigation several hours were spent at each place and every nook and crevice ransacked for the missing lumber.
 The Crocker Grammar School on Page street, near Baker, was the first on the list. Here the yard had been replanked and some of the stairs repaired, the lum Der bill for the job calling for the follow every lot only the poorest quality being

TAKEN FROM THE STAGE.

Little Norman Phillips, a bright, flax en-haired boy, aged six years, was re- moved from the Orpheum Theater yester- day afternoon by Colonel Parnel1 of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
 The little theatrical wonder has been on the stage for a year or so, alternating between Morosco's and other local houses until he eventually secured an engagement at the Orpheum for g a week to sing and otherwise amuse the audience.
 Information having been conveyed to the secretary of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children steps were taken to have the child removed. Yester- day afternoon Colonel Parnell sent for Mrs. Phillips and read the law to her covering the case. She pleaded ignorance of the law and when its conditions were explained to her she cheerfully consented to keep her little boy home.
 The father of young Norman is at pres ent In Vallejo. He is a professor of lan- guages and was not aware of his son be- ing engaged in the theater Mrs. Nor man was connected with the theatrical profession in the East years ago. She stated to Colonel Parnell that she was saving the little fellows earnings for the purpose of giving him musical educa- ton by and by as she believes he pos sesses rare musical talent. The parents of little Norman are respectable and mean to do what Is right by their son, as also to comply with the law.
