A newly welded pair in New York

The capture of Aguinaldo, seems to
conclusively prove that some Fili1inos

that little handful Of white officers in
the hands of the native band, far from
white friends and succor. They would
have been helpless in case OF a revolt.
But there was no revolt, no treachery.
The natives tramped steadily forward

THE LIBRARY.

]
! EDITOR JOURNAL:
! Allow me to say a word about our
Library. This last year there seems to
have been great delay in the purchase
of books, which have been called for by
the readers. The Board OF Directors
has 1859 every year, which must be eX-
pended for books. 1t can hardly be eX-
pected that business man could give
attention to the selection and purchase
OF 50 many books, as that amount OF
money would buy every year. For this
reason, the business OF selection, should
toasome extent, be given to the Librar-
ian, whose business would naturally
make her somewhat of an expert. The
catalogues of all publishing houses are
! regularly sent to her, and reliable book
sellers are willing to send all books for
examination or purchase, and to take
the rejected books. back at their own
expense, so as to make it easier To de-
eide on the merits.
The work of filing the Library falls
naturally upon the one who has the
record OF the Library, and the time and
skill to get the books which are brought
10 her notice.
For these reasons 1t would seem ex-
pedient, in order to facilitate the pur-
chase OF such books as are called for,
and such Others as seem to be needed
in the Library, to give the Librarian
little more power in this direction,
to select and commend for purchase
such books as should be bought from
month to month.
Another thing seems to be called for,
to make our Library what it was in
tended to be, help TO our students, as
we'll AS to the general readers, viz. the
purchase OF duplicates of books that are
Cabin, and OF books which are calling
universal attention TO themselves and
which IL read at all, should be read
while public attentionis called to them,
of which there should be at least half
dozen copies put in whenever pur-
chase is made. AS it now is, new books
are privately purchased because they
are not to be found in the Library or
are loaned out, and the last conner has
to wait for a chance till he is tired out,
and buys or borrows of some private
party.
The revenue is sufficient to keep our
Library up TO date in all new books,
and to buy several copies OF each on
the first purchase.
There is now new book just out, for
which from its nature there must be
great call, that is The Autobiography
OF Booker T. Washing ton, entitled, Up
from Slavery.

AtABKMA's MANAGER ARRIVES
 TO ARRANGE DETAILS.

Manager J. D. Mcqueen, of the Univer- sity of Alabama football team, arrived in Montgomery yesterday to arrange the details of the game to be played with the Saturday.
 Manager Mcqueen is of the opinion that the game between the sister States VIII be the fastest and most exciting played in Montgomery in years. He claims me bost team for the Alabama University that the institution has owned since 1894 when the team defeated everything In the South
 While he feels confident of interesting the Georgians, of course, he does not un- derestimate the strength of the men from Athens On the point of comparing the two teams he has this to say:
 'sThe two teams are about equally matched as to weight, the average weight on both being about 155 pounds Our team has been showing remarkable speed and ability as demonstrated in the game with Mississippi which we won by 4l to D. We have the strongest team all around that the University has had since 1884.
 "Georgia's s men have been making won derful improvement recently and our chances for taking the game Saturday are not nearly so bright as they were. l ex- pect the hottest kind of a contest, as do all the members of the team. Reports from the Georgia team bear out team has been making brilliant improve ment over their form at the opening or the season, and it is now considered ona of the strongest in the South. There is spirit of intense rivalry. be- tween the colleges of the sister states and this will be a spur to extraordinary effort bv both sides for the victory Sat urday. It will undoubtedly be battle royal on the gridiron, for the pride of two States is hung up Tn the result of the game.
 There are many Georgians in this sec ton who will be out to witness the play of their representatives and to cheer then on by shouts and applause. As matter of course all loyal Alabamians will be on hand to aid the Tuscaloosa men in like ma nner

India and Reports.

Fortnightly Review.
 India is the land of reports. There is 1 a monthly quarterly. half-yearly. an- l nuaI plague of them. There is no coun- try, probably, in which so many useless | reports are written and so few read. In one province I have heard it said the chief business of the local government consists in dunning its officers for statis- tics and reports. and in compiling from them volumes for the delusion of the supreme government. An American cynic once said: There are three classes of liars-the liar, the damned liar, and the expert" The expert is the ruling class. It may be accepted as fact that more than one-half of the time and energy of every civil officer is taken up In writ ing In the journal from which I have already quoted I find the following re- marks: Meanwhile, the evil grows apace. Each year finds the hard-work- ing and highly paid district officer, whose place should be in the saddle and out among the villages, more and more tied to his desk at headquarters, spinning his red-tape cocoon in official circles. A very shrewd Frenchman, travelling in the East with the avowed object of scientifically studying the art of governing Oriental peoples, lately confessed to me his sat- isfaction at the discovery of another gov ernment which surpassed his own in folly. You take he said. the best men you can find in England, you train them care fully and pay them liberally, and then. having done all this, you set them down to do the work of clerks. leaving them no time in which to make use of their abil- ities and education. C'est joliment stupide " This is no exaggeration. The canker of report writing and not writ ing and of figure manipulating is deep rooted in India. The evil is threefold In the first place 1t exhausts energies which should be devoted to higher work; it makes clerks instead of statesmen Next it encourages the vice of using figures to conceal facts-the vice of what the American cynic would call the ''ex- pert" But last, and worst of all. 1t saps the virtues of personal responsibility and resolute action. It is a sort of moral and mental influenza.

Canadian and American Slang.

Nineteenth Century
 Canadian slang is American slang. Pop ular nomenclature and phraseology are American. The college ground Is cam pus," the drill-hall Is "the armories, vans are expresses" one never makes haste" one hurries up, "; trains are never "punctual," they are lon time;" people ride in rigs" not "drive in carriages. In the open spaces festivities are seen go- ing on in summer games of "balr'-base- ball. namely-a game which draws its thousands while cricket barely draws its scores. Newsboys offer you papers priced a nickel" Tobacco and gum chewing are rife-the latter, am glad to say, does not require the vile expectorative accom- paniment of the former-"glad," because 1t is indulged in by girls as well as boys All this is, perhaps, natural. It IS to be inferred that great country, separated only by cartographical line, will have more influence upon little country than will a great country separated from it by 5000 miles of sea. Between the two form CT international excursion trips are things of every summers occurrence; they have trades unions and associations innumera- ble in common; younger sons from the smaller land flock for employment to the larger: newspapers, books and magazines from the one cover the booksellers coun- ters in the other: the daily telegraphic dispatches of both are fed by the self same Associated Press.
