The native Filipino has the reputa-

Asiatic races. Like the Parsee, he is
knCwn as the Yankee of the orient,
says the Philadelphia Press. He lost
no opportunity to trim up his occi-
dental Yankee brother whenever the
opportunity presented itself, but the
American Yankee, and particularly he
of the Pennsylvania breed, usually
gave him a Roland for his Oliver.

Shortly after their arrival in Manila
the officers OF some Of the companies
found these Identification badges in
the hands of Filipino merchants, upon
whom the PennSylvanians had i'm

DISCRDERED FRENCH FINANCES

Fear is expressed b. French political
economists that France will find itself
en- the verge Of bankruptcy before Ions.
The budget presented by NJ. Cai!laux.
minister OF finance, gives warrant for
such fears. The nation proposes to
snend over soc. 600, 900 in 1909, which
is $4,000, Gee in excess Of the preceding
wear. The new minister IS . thor
oughly trained fnanc!er, being pro-
fessor at the School OF Political FL
nance and the author Of q history Of
taxation in France. He has set HIM
self to work to bring about reforms.

but finds the way blocked by tradi-
tons. The remedies he proposes are
the prohibition of the appointment of
additional government employees or the
raising Of salaries without the express
consent CT the chamber of deputies.
VI. Caiilaux estimates the public debt
Of France at 30.0c0, 900, coo francs (sG,-
00O, geo. 0CU), which is the heaviest debt
ever incurred by any nation in the
world. If he continues in Office and is
allowed to cary out his plans he hopes
to reduce this and perhaps lessen tax
alton, which at present is greater THAI
in any other country in Europe.

All of the glory that has come to
Admiral Dewey might have been be-
slowed upon Frederick V. McNair.
The latter officer was the commodore
in command of the Asiatic squadron
before Dewey was given the assign

OF sea duty and did not expect a war
with Spain. Hence, when the navy de-

HABEAS CORPUS SUSPENDED.
Ruling OF u Country Judge Which Made
Lawyers Gasp.

Church congregations are always
nightly well pleased to see their pas
tors in their pu!pits after the summer
season is ended, but not as thoroughly
Gratiied as are members of the bar
when the judges return from their va
cations remarked a prominent Brook
Ign lawyer. why do you make the
distinction between the emotions Of
church congregations and ~lawycrs?" l
asked. To which my friend replied:
We'll, a congregation is not forced to
accept the views OF a poorly informed
country parsOn who comes to the city
as a substitute for a brighter mar who
has gone to the mountains or seashore.
But 1t is different in the courts. You've
got to knock under, at least until an
appeal can be heard; have got to sub
nit to the rulings Of this and that
second-class country judge who comes
to the city to make q show of his I'M
familiarity with law, until the regular
Judges return to their seats. During
last summer a case came under my oh
s%ervation which will illustrate the in
No"peISAey VI soLile VI luese county

In a surrcgate's case in order had been
issued for the arrest of two executors
on the ground that they had failed to
turn over certain moneys as directed
by the court. One of these executors.
did comply with the order of the court,
but, nevertheless, was arrested and
locked up. His counsel appeared be-
fore one of the country judges sent
down to this section temporarily, and.
applied for a writ of habeas corpus.
Whereupon the judge made the re-
markabie decision that a Supreme
court judge could not grant the writ
called fer; that the Supreme court
could not interfere with case under

was then given the appointment. Had
McNair been anxious to continue in
Asiatic waters 1t is believed that he
could have done so. Naval officers also
believe that he would have been sue

under Farragut and he won meritor-
ious mention for bravery in the attack
on Fort Fisher.
