DUCKS IN THE PHILIPPINES
Added a Good Thing tO Their Ratfohs.

Wednesday morning. March 16, was the time set for Gen. Wheaton's flying brigade to sweep the country from iuadeloupe to Laguna de Bay. It was . rainy morning. but the ducks at Pateros liked it all the better for that, and our boys didn't seem to mind it in he least. They swept across the coun- try with irresistible force, and every thing cleared out of the country but the ducks of Pateros, and the boys were we'll pleased at that. Canned beef and vegetable soup, coffee, and rice are wholesome, but when it came to weigh ng such rations in the balance with ,anvas-backs or "any other old duck, !" here was not a dissenting voice in the ,hoice. Pateros is the duck farm of Luzon. The ducks simply breed and grow there by the thousand. In fact, 20 thick were they that one soldier, in speaking to me about it. said:
 Did you see us? Why, we marched across the Pasig on their backs. Hon. est!"
 What, and left them7' I asked.
 "Oh. no: We marched back again after we had killed of the bareToots and eat our supper on the spot. But, really, when halt was called for supper l went put with a foraging party for ducks, and We took a casco and caught 800, and you couldn't see the water then. believe there were 5000 in that one swamp"
 The night after the capture of Pate ros. which. by the way. is Spanish for duck. l dined at one of the regimental headquarters. and we had duck in every known method of the culinary lrt. and l think there was hardly a amp along the line the next day that was not reveling in the luxury of Pate ros duck, and for that matter many lays afterward: and don't believe there is ''hole in the water" at Pateros yet.-Manila Cor.

Collector ceeno~esh's Removal.

N--~tSt NtsNffAHSs s HNfHOFa4-
 A telegram from Washington says that the president hss appointed William Fl. Hoey of Muncie, Ind, collector of customs al Nogales, Ariz., to succeed H. K. Chenoweth, removed. The appointment was made upon the recommendation of Perry .. Heath and Congressman Cromer of Indiana. Mr. Chenoweth was removed upon charges preferred by the civil service commission. MT. ChenoWeth was the first official ap- pointed iR Arizona. One of the most damaging charges preferred against him was the carrying upon the pay roll of persons who per formed no labor at the custom house and who did not receive the salar1 with which they were charged. It was not accused that # was the col iector's purpose to draw money which did not belong to him, but that be entered into this arrange ment to recover from the govern ment 8 sun out of which he had ltf-A AaAtlAE as 8N sL4 EIE0A 8A A4- sufficient collection hsd been made on heavy importation. The treas- uTy department charged the differ ence to the collector and be was left without recourse against the i'm porter. ft was also charged that his wife appeared as one of the clerks of the custom house. but that she did no work. It was further charged that the civil service regulations were disregarded and that the ofscs vas made political instrument for the benefit Of the local faction tO which the collector belonged.
 While none of the charges were proven, 1t was thought best by the president, upon recommendation of the evil service commission. to make a sehange for benefit of the pub iIe service.

Our contemporary never misses an opportunity to question the honesty of purpose of those who are not m harmony with it. 1t iss very sad state of affairs, indeed, that when the editor of the Courier was brought into existence all she avail able honesty" ou hand was ap, propriated for him by the Almighty and the latter has been running short evef since. The human race is destined to a shortness on honesty until the Courier editors death, when the monopolistic supply in his possession will probably be worked over and dealt out as a second hand article to future generations. It is very, very sad.
