In The Footsteps of Rome.

Justice David ]. Brewer Ire
publican) of the United States
supreme court writes as follows
in the New York World:
The Caesars saw the spears
of their victorious legions flash
ing in the sunlight of every
known land, and in their tri-
umphant return they brought
with them the accumulated
wealth of all the nations they
had subdued. The splendor of
imperial Rome outshone the
world, but the wealth thus OBJ
tanned without value given un-
dermined the empire, and glory
of Rome is simply a memory.
Napoleon beheld the shining
star of destiny; and then? Does
human nature change through
the centuries? We stand to.
day facing the temptation which
comes from the possibility of
rapidly accumulated wealth.
What right have we to antici-
pate that the same result will
not follow.if we pursue the same
course of taking what we have
not fully earned?

JUDGE TAFT CHOSEN.
A New Chairman for the Philippine
Commission.


Among the first arrivals at the White
House yesterday was Judge William r.
Day, of Canton. Ohio, formerly Secretary
of State Judge Day went over TO the
Executive Mansion from the Shoreham,
where he arrived the night before. He
was warmly greeted by the President and
was invited to attend the Cabinet meet
ing.
The occasion of Judge Days appearance
in this city was announced to be attend
ance at the Supreme Court dinner at the
White House tonight. In company with
Judge Day was Judge William II. Taft, of
Cincinnati, and after the Cabinet meeting
yesterday II was stated that Judge Taft
would be named by the President as Chair
man of the Special Philippine Commission
TO go to Manila and establish civil govern
ment in the islands. Both Judge Day and
Judge Taft we're present at the Cabinet
meeting.
II was learned later that Judge Taft
had rendered his resignation as judge of
the Sixth circuit, in which position he is
an associate of Judge Day. The resigna-
ton takes effect on March Is, and it is ex-
pected that the President by that time
will have selected the other members OF
the commission.
II is expected that the new commission
will consist of five members, of which
Col. Charles DENLY and Prof Worces-
ter may be two. 1t is generally under
stood that Judge Taft will be the first
civil governor of the Philippines, and that
upon him personally will fall large share
OF the responsibility of bringing order out
of the conditions which now exist in the
islands. The new commission viii be
thoroughly equipped with everything need
full to execute its mission. II will take
TO the Philippines quite a following of
clerks and employees. The government to
be established, it is expected. will be the
type of that which is TO follow.

today:
Il have not been idle. l knew something
and have done something OF which the
prime movers Of the Association do not
dream. Keller will not be won over to
the new baseball people by empty talk.
He knows his value and he also knows
where he is most likely to receive pay
for it. Keller and / have a good under
standing between us. and I don't fear talk
of sensations which include him in Asso-
citation ranks. As for Kelley has he said
he is going to captain a new club in Phiia-
delphia? We ali know he is ambitious.
but Kelley wants, like all the other intell
gent ball players. a better assurance that
the proposed Association viii not collapse
before it gets fairly started than has yet
been given
Kelley, when seen. said he had had no
talk with MeGraw or any of the Philadel
