/ the market critics even express the belief

| crease in deposits is immense. From the
point of view of the bankers the statement
! is an excellent one in every way The re-
serve surplus is cut somewhat, but this is
owing entirely to very heavy increase

esting one, though somewhat mystifying.
/ II is not unlikely that in the near future
developments in the market may explain
! the increase of 81, eco 600 in loans in such
/ q duh market. One theory is that the
pools have been BORROWING money heavily

| begin work in earnest next week. As a
matter of fact no other theory seems TO
fit. all the facts so well. The figures of
the statement are as follows: Reserves de-
crease Se,975, 200. loans increase S21, l5o, 400,
deposits increase SIS coo, legals de-
crease 1925 500. specie increase, 50 .264 500,

The gross earnings of sixty five railways
for the fourth week of January were Sl2,-
5S6.sS2. OF this number sixty lines in
creased their earnings s., le9 730 and five
lines showed a decrease of Sl6.S32 only.
The gross increase on all the lines, there
fore. is 81, l52,S9i, or 20.62 per cent The
showing is one of the best ever made by
so large a number of railways from all
parts of the country. II has very little

The st. Paul statement for the first week
of February is also a most satisfactory

Our Task In the Philippines.

Late news from the Philippines is not re-
assuring. Though the sovereign American
people voted on November for an imme-
date stoppage Of the war through the sur
render Of the insurgents to Mr.. Mckinley,
the war seems to be going on Press ad-
vices are to the effect that so far as the
Filipinos are concerned no noticeable
change in the situation has occurred in the
archipelago since the result of the election
became known there. News Of the out

way through the country to the armed in
surgents, where the assurances that Mr..
Bryan would certainly be elected must first

ton has been Overwhelmingly endorsed at
home We hope they VIII come into the res
eTyaticn and lay down their arms. Il they

shake the confidence Of something like
eight million American voters in the word
Of Mr.. Hanna and other statesmen CT his
stripe who have for year made the world
cape in amazement at the spectacle of a
elean-heaTted citizen Of the Republic "aa-
eouraging7 and keeping alive for political
purposes" a war that has already cost the
country millions OF treasure and hundreds
OF lives.

that is the opinion CT the eight millions

standing that after the election he was

Why Mr.. Mckinley preferred to wait
until after the election to do this it is
not now our province to say nor our wish

President is going 10 urge Congress to

It remains to be seen whether the Rus
so-Franco or the Anglo-German view viii
prevail. a new development in the diplo-
matte situation is reported in our des-
patches today. Serious friction in the
peace negotiations at Pekin has been
caused by demands from Belgium, Den

given locus standi as to important de-
cisions. No doubt their contention win
be backed by Russia and France. and op-

Our condolences to the Hon. William Ea-
ton Chandler Every other Republican in
Christendom except Chandler seems at
present in transport Of Joy Hope an
tieipation, expectancy--all OF these, without
their necessary acco,Lp animent Of opti-
mism-appear to be holding Chandler in
loving embrace But these he viii despise
and reviIe if the New Hampshire LegisIa-
ture does not return him 10 the Senate.
A tremendous fight the Senator still has
ahead. There is tradition in the Granite
State against third terms for Senators. The
railroads and certain Other corporation in
terests are determined that this tradition
shall not be violated in favor Of Chandler
Wherefore there has been sent US little
brochure with the captivating title: De

Criticisms OF Mr. Henry NJ. Putney. with
Additional Pertinent Letters Mr. Henry
II. Putney is Chairman of the State Rail-
road Commission, of New Hampshire, and
also the editor OF small newspaper at
Manchester.
In his Defence Senator Chandler
pictures an Industrial and economic con
dition in the country which will cause him
to be denounced an an anarchist" unless
he retracts For example, he says he
thinks that consolidation, with large cor
porations and immense e4r;taI controlling
production and the waS;.s of the produe-
srs, has come 10 stay, md that compe-
tition among railroads is ended. Under
these new conditions he contends that all
must recognize the necessity Of sons
governmental interference to prevent a
misuse Of power and TO. rerress extoTtion
on the part OF the great transportation
corporations. "It Is true" cautiously and
curieusIy declares seaatof Chandler,

they may not always so remain, and Ger

| Chambers Indictment IS in strange con-

Senator is a candidate fer Office, and these
little Inconsistencies are permissible.

THE ORIGIN OF KISSING.
Scientist LOHabrosO says 1t Is 4 Mod
eEH Practice
CFrom the New York Herald,

(FTOn the New York Herald
According to Prof. Cesare Lombroso,
the distinguished Italian erfmiaoIogist.
kissing is quite a modern practice and
originated in very curious manner The
kiss. as token OF affection, was
unknown to the old Greeks, and neither
in Homer nor in HeTod do We find any
mention of it Hector did not Kiss his
Aniromache when he be de her farewell
neither did Paris press his lips to those
of the beautiful Helen, and Ulysses, who
was more cosmopolitan than any man of
mis- day, never dreamed of kissing the en-
. chanting Gree, and when. after Ing
wanderings he returned home to his
spouse. Penelope, he satisfied himself by
putting one of his staIwart arms around
her waist and drawing her to him
The people Of TERRA del Fuego, says Lom-
broso, have taught civilized nations the
origin Of the delightful art of kissing
country, and the people, when they are
thirsty. simply lie down beside brooks and
drink the water as It flows by them. It
is evident however. that infants could not
satisfy their thirst in this primitive fash
ion and, therefore. their mothers have for
ages supplied them with water by filling
their own mouths first and then letting it
pass through their lips into the expectant
mouths of their little ones In some places

high that water cannot be obtained in the
usual manner and the mothers in such
places draw 1t up through long reeds.
Birds feed their young ones in a similar
manner. They first i'll their own mouths
with water and then transfer it TO the
wide-epen mouths OF the little ones. This
very ancient maternal practice is, accord
ing 70 Lombroso. the only source to which
the modern practice OF kissing can be
traced. The custom of pressing one mouth
to another originated with the women in
Terra dei FuegO, who could only supply
/ their infants with drink in this manner,
and il is presumable that they learned the
lesson from the birds. Finally, we are told
| that kissing IS an evidence of atavism and
a memorial OF that early stage in our de-
yeiopnent during which the wife had not
/ yet triumphed over the mother nor love
