TO BANKERS.

New York, Dec. 20.-Secretary of
the Treasury, Lyman J. Gage, was
the guest of honor and the principal
New York State Bankers Association
held last night at the Waldorf Astoria.
Nearly 800 members of the Association
and their guests were present. George
f. Baker, president of the First Ma
tional Bank, acted as toastmaster. The
list of speakers included besides Sec
rotary Gage, ex-Speaker Thomas B.
Reed, the Rev DR.. Donald Sage Nc
Kay, ex-Judge Henry E. Rowland
and Amos Parker Wilder.
ssAmong other things, Secretary Gage
said: "The weakness of our banking
system is in the isolation and entire
separateness of the individual banks
over the country. When period of
distrust or doubt comes over the land
there is seeking of personal safety
through that general instinct of self
preservation which drives men in a
confused mass over each other at the
cry of fire in the theatre. | venture
to suggest system of coalition be-
tween individual members of the
banking community throughout the
country into one central institution
with convenient branches in the larg
er cities, in which all banks should
be related or interested according to
their individual relative Importance,
and which in certain sense should
represent the banking interests of the
country what the federal government
represents in our political system.

OF INTEREST.

Washington, Dec 10. -Provision for
permanent civil government and for
much important legislation regarding
the industrial development of the
Philippine commission is embodied in
the annual report of the Philippine
commission. 1t is declared by the
commission that outside of five prov
inces, Batangas, Cebu, Bohol, Samar,
and Mindoro there is peace i'll the
archipelago.
Taking up the question of the politi-
cal future of the Filipinos, it is de-
clared that the theory upon which the
commission is proceeding is that the
only possible method of instructing
the Filipino people in the methods
of free institutions and self govern
ment is to make a government partly
of Americans and partly of Fill
pinos, with ultimate control in Amer
lean hands for some time to come.
Less than ten per cent of the people
speak Spanish and the educated people
under the influence of Spanish teach
ing have but a faint conception of
real civil liberty and the mutual self
restraint required for its maintenance.
| The commission have already, how
ever, established municipal suffrage
in the pacitied parts Of the islands and
have limited the suffrage to those
who can read and write English or
Spanish, or own property of the val
ne of $3.50, pay an annual tax of $l5
or have been municipal officers.
The commission outlines project
which in brief contemplates the con-
tinuance for two years of the existing
powers of the commission. Then
representative government is to be
formed composed of civil governor,
legislative council and popular as
sembly, the powers of the latter being
closely limited so as to prevent it
from choking the government i'll the
budget III fits of passion or through
inexperience The President of the
United States would of course re-
serve the absolute veto power. The

THE PROTEST.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 49,. -Attor-
ney General Isador Rayner, counsel for
Admiral Schley, has finished the draft
of the formal document to be deliver
ed Friday to Secretary of the Navy
Long protesting against the finding of
the court Of inquiry. This morning
Mr.. Rayner carried the draft of the
protest to Washington and after he
and Admiral Schley conferred over it
copy was prepared for transmission
to Secretary Long.
First the protesters claim that the
findings of the court should be set
aside on the broad ground that they
are not in accordance with the evil
dence and following this, each point
in the report, such as the charges of
dilatoriness, disobedience of orders,
the sending Of misleading dispatches,
the controversy with Lieut.. Hodg-
son, the famous loop, ETC., are touch
ed upon in turn and the salient fea-
lures Of the evidence disproving these
charges pointed out.
Practically the protest is review
Of the evidence in the case sub
mitted in such way that Secretary
Ling will have the opportunity to
pass upon the whole controversy.

GEN. CHAFFEE.

Washington, Dec 30. - "History
affords no parallel of whole people
thus practically turning war traitors,
and in the genius of no other people
was ever found such masterful powers
of secrecy and discrimination but it is
needless to say that no powerful
state was ever erected or ever can be
erected ON such immoral and unen-
lightened foundations.
This statement is made by Gen.
Chaffee, military governor Of the
Philippines, in review of one of a
number of court martial cases in the
islands, the records of which have
been received at the war department..
The case which brought forth this
comment was one wherein seven ma
tives were tried jointly on charge
of murder. The accused were soldiers
in the insurgent army and after de-
feat by the American army in the field
abandoned even the show Of open OPP
position and took up their residence at
lay lay, near Manila, a place pro-
tected by an American garrison.
There, following the proclaimed pol
icy of the insurgent chiefs, they pro-
ceeded secretly to organize bolo
band. When authorization had been
given to establish civil government
the band came forward under the
leadership Of resident padre and
were elected municipal officers Of Tay
Tay. Then ensued a remarkable at
tempt to serve two masters. In all
lawful matters they served with due
appearance of loyalty to the Ameri-
can government, while at the same time
they labored secretely and diligently
for the insurgents. This dual form Of
government, says Gen. Chaffee, exist
ed everywhere, in strongly garrisoned
cities like Manila, as well as the
smallest barrio. The municipal Off
GERS Of Tay Tay next entered upon
series of murders and continued their
dirty work until the growing work
TO mysterious disappearance led to the
discovery of the perpetrators by the
American authorities.
Zone undeniable TRUTH" says Gen.
Chaffee, islands out in this case, as
in hundreds of others of murder, that
the average native of these islands
has not more than the merest rudi-
mentary conception of his individual
rights and duties as man; and no
one knows this so well as the willy
chiefs who sue him for their nefarious
purposes.

the ideal than others, and the shock
ing thing about it all is, that once
in while man will face about and
walk back into the past. 1t might be,
you know, that he who, eating off
the mahogany, cries Its abnormal to
love the man who finds his plate on
the bare pine!" may in five years
hear the same exclamation about his
own wrecked son from the lips of the
man who no longer eats off the pine.
The Journal foresees keen joy for
the one who expresses, these Christ
mas days, an Astounding love for the
man who needs who breaks old
forms and let's, in it's true meaning,
the Christmas love prevail.
An empty race-heart thirsted years
ago,
And God, sufficient, held his love
cup brimmed.
Twas tipped at Christs birth, and the
lavish flow,
Quenched human thirst, while myr-
lad angels hymned
Glory to God in the highest, and on
earth peace. "

ESAW AND THE BUCK SAW.
A Fantasy on the English Language
Which Will Twist the Reader.

An old farmer of Arkansaw, whose
sons had all grown up and left him,
hired a young man by the name OF
Esaw Buck to help him on his farm.
On the evening Of the first day they
hauled up small load of poles for
wood and unloaded them between the
garden and the barnyard.
The next morning the old man said
to the hired man: 'Esaw, l am 60
ing to town today and while | am
gone you may saw up that wood and
keep the old ram out of the garden"
When the old man had gone Esaw
went out to saw the wood, but when
he saw the saw he wouldn't saw it.
When Esaw saw the saw he saw
, that he couldn't saw it with that saw.
Esaw looked around for another saw
but that saw was the only saw he
saw, so he didn't saw it. When the
old man came home he says to Esaw:
"Esaw, did you saw that wood?'
Esaw said; 81 saw the wood, but 1
wouldn't saw it for when 1 saw the
saw | saw that l couldn't saw with
that saw, so l didn't saw it,. -
The old man went out to see the
saw, and when he saw the saw he saw
that Esaw couldn't saw with that
SttN. WITH IsdW saw llltt tllt Ola
man saw that he couldn't saw with
and chopped up the wood and made
a see saw. The next day the old man
went to town and bought new
bucksaw for Esaw BucF, and when
he came home he hang the bucksaw
for Esaw luck on olie sawbuck by
the see-saw.
Just at this time Esa W Buck saw
the old buck i'll the garden eating
cabbage, and when driving him from
the garden to barnyard, Esaw Buck
saw tho buck saw on the saw buck
by the see saw, and Esaw stopped to
examine the new sawbuck. Now
when the old buck saw Esaw Buck
looking at the new bucksaw on the
sawbuck by the see-saw, he made
dive at Esaw, missed Esaw, hit the
see-saw, knocked the see-saw against
Esaw Buck, who fell on the bucksaw
on the sawbuck by the see saw. Now
when the old man saw the old buck
dive at Esaw Buck and miss Esaw
Buck and hit the see saw, and knock
ed the see-saw against Esaw and Esaw
Buck fall on the bucksaw on the saw
buck by the see-saw, he picked up the
axe to kill the old buck, but the buck
saw him coming and lodged the blow
and, countering on the old mans
stomach, knocked the old man over
the see saw onto Esaw Buck, who was
getting up with the bucksaw off the
sawbuck by the see-saw, crippled
Esaw Buck, broke the bucksaw and
the sawbuck and the seesaw.
Now when the old buck saw the
completeness of his victory over the
old man. and Esaw Buck and the
bucksaw and the sawbuck and the
seesaw, he quietly turned around,
went back and jumped into the gar
den again and ate up what was left
of the old mans cabbages. Exchange.

SIMPSONS ATTORNEYS.

attorneys this morning presented a
protest to the Secretary of the Navy
against Admiral Dewey's minority re-
port. Upon receipt thereof Secretary
Long immediately went to the Presi-
dent with the document. The protest
is brief, not more than 1000 words
The main contention made is that
the question of commandership in the
Santiago battle was not raised in the
precept converting the court and could
not be made a finding by either ma
jority or minority of the court. The
SECRETARY is asked to therefore rule
out minority report.

CHRISTMAS SUGGESTIONS.

| The Journal was interested recently
in finding in the log Of the Mayfower
a reference to an early New England
Christmas. It was simply no Christ
mas, as our stern faced forefathers be-
lieved not in hallowing any such
saints day. New England has still
bit Of GOODNESS in it's Christmas blood.
We miss much of that jolly hustle and
gallant spendthrift style that makes
New York gay these days, and per-
haps are at the more safe extreme.
Christmas ought, however, to be as
wildly happy season here in this
Green Mountain fastness as where the
Hudson divides and seeks the sea. 1t
seems to the Journal that there can be
no Christmas joy of a true sort with
out knowing and practicing the Christ
mas principle. And that Christmas
principle is making a sacrifice in order
to give gift and for loves sake. 1t
is one thing for a gloved hand to pass
into another gloved hand Christ
mas token costing no sacrifice-it's
quite another to send a gift that real
ly cost little life to one whose bur-
den will be lighter for the gift.
Now Montpelier is wellto There
are very few really poor people in the
city-but there are great needs never
theless The Journal rejoices at this
Christmas time with every well to do
citizen or family. Go on i'll thrift
Earn and save Get leisure for leis-
ure means opportunity, and opportu-
nifty well improved, means civiliza-
ton. Some of us will eat our Christ
mas dinner from polished mahogany
tables adorned with rare silver and
cut glass-and after dinner our feet
will tread thick carpets, or on the pol
| ished board step out the measures of
a dear old dance. Our eyes will feed
on true art adjoining our walls, and
when the voices of the family are
heard they will be voices of gentleness
and culture. Good all good, but
there is reverse side to that cameo.
Some will eat from pine table
or a greasy oil cloth, and after dinner
look forward to an afternoon of wild,
then dull rum. Some will lift their
eyes to nothing better than an adver-
tisement for art, and hear in the fam
lily voices the harsh coarseness of cul-
lures absence.
There, folks, is your chance. Just
think-among the uncultured there is
hungry, ear hungry. One in ten who
wants but love token from cultur-
ed life to make the whole soul leap
and bound toward better things. And
on that one in ten depends the future
growth from the lower to the higher
in our city. Can't you send that love
token this Christmas time? Oh, no,
not with condescension, please. That
puts the recipient at bay and makes
him sheer. That too, makes the giveI
a hypocrite. Make it a love token
and send it from your full heart tC
the empty one, from your abundance
of culture to the chanceless life which
is very probably not to blame. Why
Christmas time should be an oper

would rush into emptiness and and fiji

how much more the Judgment Of Ad-
miral Dewey counts than that of the
other two me,lbers of the court of
inquiry, and how much satisfaction
these friends take in the decision of
the court as whole, he would decide
that on their account, at least, it
was not necessary to go any farther.
If, on the other hand, he reads the
New York Sun, and through it can
look into the minds of his enemies,
and see how bitter pill Dewey's
manly words are to them, and how
they gnaw the file of disappointment
he will also see that on their account
it may not be necessary to pursue the
matter further.

Reciprocity with Cuba would open
one way for building up the American
merchant marine without the expense
of subsidy. Cuba, of course, could
not object to the condition that the
traffic between the two countries be
carried on in Cuban and American
vessels; and as there are no Cuban
vessels it would all have to be carried
on in American ships. The Cuban
sugar and the return trade from this
country would provide at least a thou
sand cargoes each way every year,
and that would give business for
twenty or more large steamers, MAX
ing trips twice a week.
