Lots of people have wondered why
the people of the Philippines are not
called the Philippines, or why the
islands where the Filipino people live
pondent got up courage to ask the
Boston Transcript about this matter,
and this is the answer given: There
is no reason, except that the English
language is great donkey. generally
pigheaded and non-conforming, but
sometimes strangely initiative. We
have always called those islands the
Philippine islands, and shall go on call
ing them that to the end of the chap
their photography and call the islands
the Islas Filipinas. The people they
naturally call Filipinos. Now we
never called the people there anything
until we went there and heard the
Spaniards calling them Filipinos, and
saw the word printed thus in their
books and papers. Therefore, in one of
our initiative streaks. we adopted the
word Filipino just as it is. But we did
not think of dsplacing our regular
word for the islands themselves with
the Spanish form of it, and so it hap
pens that we stupidity use the words
Philippine and Filipino in the same
sentence"

The head of the Mormon church has
just been fined 800 for living in
polygamy The birth of a child to his
fourth wife, who, by the way, is the
only woman senator in the Utah Leg
islature, was the occasion of the
prosecution. SO light punishment is
a travesty on justice and explains why
polygamy thrives in Utah. The excuse
given for such nominal punishment is
the mans age, which is almost 20
years, but this explanation must be
regarded in the light of joke.

The W00d-Thrush at Eve.

At the wood-edge, what time the sun
sank low,
We fingered speechless, being loath TO
leave
The cool, the calm. the quiet touch of
eve,
And all the glamor Of the aftcrglow
We watched the purple shadows length
en- slow.
Saw the swift swallows through the
clear. air cleave,
And the bats begin their waywarl
flight. to weave,
The rose reluctantly, and turned to co
But, ere we won beyond the warder trees,
From out the dim deep copse that hid
the swale
Welled of a sudden fute-Ike harmonies
Flooding the twilight, scale on slvery
AS though we heard, far DER the sunler.
The pain and passion of the nightingale.

The hayfields are pretty we'll cleaned

The New Secretary Of War.

Elihu Root. an eminent New York
lawyer, is to succeed Secretary Russell
A. Alger of Michigan, as head of the
war department. This announcement
gives general satisfaction and it is be-
leved that President Mckinley has
made a most happy selection. A large
number of men had been mentioned for
the place in the newspapers, and it was
not thought the selection would be
made so soon. Most of those whose
names had been brought forward in
this connection We're men of military
experience an General Porter, Colonel
Roosevelt, General Henry. General
Wood, General III. G. Otis and others.
The selection of a civilian. therefore, Is
significant. 1t means that the active
conduct of the war in the Philippines
will be entrusted to the military COM
manders in the field. Whether General
Otis remains in the field or whether
General Miles succeeds him, whoever
commands the army will command the
situation. This is as it should be. AS
matters are now in the Philippines the
general on the spot is the best judge
of what ought to be done and what
can be done. He knows best the
quickest and most effectual way of
crushing the insurrection and of estab
fishing peace ana order in the archi-
pelago.
The addition of Mr.. Root TO the cab
met will be n reinforcement to its legal
strength much needed at this time.
There are many new and complicated
legal questions facing the war depart
ment as the result of our expansion
policy. and trained legal mind is re-
quired to meet them. The cabinet is
not. as so many cabinets have been.
organized of lawyers. Mr.. Hay and
Mr.. Smith are journalists and men of
all-round accomplishments and read
ing. Mr.. Gage and Mr.. Hitchcock are
business men, schooled in large affairs
in the line OF business; Mr. Wilson has
given much of his attention to agri-
culture, and is an eminent authority
among the farmers in all matters re-
lating to crops ana their cultivation;
only Governor Long and Governor
Griggs have devoted themselves to the
law and count among lawyers OF ma
tional reputation. Another lawyer in
the cabinet, therefore, and especially
in the department where legal ques
tions are multiplying 50 rapidly, Will
greatly strengthen the administrati ton.
Mr.. Root has been but little in pub
lie life though he has been conspicuous
in the councils of the Republican party
of New York for many years He was
one of these most prominently men
toned for the English ambassadorship
when it was given to Mr.. Choate. He
is 50 years of age. and was born in
Clinton, n. ". where his father was a
professor in Hamilton College. Mr..
Root is himself a graduate of this in
stitution. and for over 80 years has
practiced law in New York city where
he stands in the front rank of his
profession He is spoken of as tire
less worker, man of strong person
atty, and possessing wide popularity.
He has hard task before him and de-
serves the best wishes and cordial sup
port of the country as he enters
upon it.

\ gentleman who IS summer resi-
dent in York had a novel though rather
dsquieting experience with A monkey
the other day. Seeing an Italian organ
grinder with monkey on the streets
in Portsmouth. he conceived the idea
Of buying the monkey as a present for
his children. He finally made the pur-
chase at the rather dear price Of $500.
Now the difficulty Was To get the it'll"
animal to York. He didn't take 50
kindly to his new owner as to his for
mer master, but bcguiled with peanuts
he consented to being carried across
the ferry and aboard the electric car.
After the peanuts gave out the trouble
began. Half way over To York the
little fellow began to chatter mourn
fully as if just beginning to realize the
fact that he had lost his former
guardian. Suddenly as the car was
going slowly around an uphill curry"
through the woods the monkey jumped
away from its new owner and spring
ing upwards caught hold of the
branches of n tree and in n trice swung
himself aloft and out of reach. Before
the car could be stopped the animal
was lost 10 view and only the echo Of
lis gleeful chattering could be heard
among the distant tree tops. Here the
story naturally ends with the disap-
pearance of the $500 monkey. but an
observant passenger claims he saw
