CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.)
says: "Oukhtomsky. leader of the
Russian war party, has come to the
United States to look into the rumor
that our sympathies are with Japan.
And who knows what will happen IL
Oukhtomsky discovers any truth in that
rumor?"

A yellow butterfly chased a man in
Fulton street at noon on one of the
hot days of the week. says the New
York Sun. The thoroughfare at that
hour is doubly congested by the long
lines of pushcarts containing all kinds
of 'trinkets. books and new-fangled
notions and cheap articles of wear.
1t is the hour when the battalions of
clerks-men, women, and children
are on the rush for luncheon. The
only thing in sight that looks like an
isle Of safety is the churchyard of
old St. Paurs.
Maybe this butterfly had escaped
from the green patches and shrubbery
of the churchyard. Anyway, it got
mixed up in the crowd and crush of
Fulton street. The man was dapper.
He wore a boutonniere, a rose, whose
red petals lay open in the hot air of
the street.
The yellow butterfly saw it. Sew
eral times it made a dash at the flow
err but somebody came in the way
and scared it off. At last it succeed
ed. 1t seemed to fall upon the rose,
SO direct was its attack.
Another man in the crowd who had
been watching the maneuyers of the
winged insect touched the wearer of
the llOWGI Oil the arm. ne WedTGI
scowled. This thing of touching a
man in a crowded street of New
York is not uncommon. Frequent as
it is, nobody likes it. The wearer of
the rose hesitated, then growled:
We'll sir?"
"A butterfly" replied the man who
had made the touch.
The wearer of the flower scowled
again, but said nothing. The man
who had touched the pedestrian ex-
planned:
There is a butterfly on your bou-
tOnniere. 1t has been chasing you
for several minutes. 1t is now ex-
tracing the fragrance"--
The wearer glanced at the lapel of
his coat. The little beauty with out
stretched wings was pirouetting on
the heart of the red rose.
The scowl on the mans face chang
ed to smile. He looked at the man
who had spoken and thanked him.
Both stood still. The jostling crowd
at that point also came to a halt for
a second-quite long enough to cause
a blockade.
The butterfly either satisfied with
what it had extracted or frightened,
winged its flight upward. A Greek
at a pushcart who had been watch
ing the incident tossed his hat in the
air after the yellow beauty and miss
ed it. The crowd laughed.
The butterfly had had it's luncheon.
The diversion in Fulton street was
over,

An After-Thought.

She is just 6 years old. but she is
beginning to look at the universe from
point of view of her own, says the
Philadelphia Press: Thus, she evinced
a tendency to rebel during the recent
continued wet weather. long series
of cloudy days interfered with her play
and she wanted the rain stopped.
Therefore, on going to bed one night
last week, she said to her mother:
Il think I'll ask Him something new
tonight"
ASK whom?" wondered the mother.
"Oh. you know-God. 1 think I'll
ask Him to make it clear"
But what will you say?"
ooh, I'll just say: Please, God, stop
the rain
She did so, and next morning APP

Our esteemed fellow subject, tpe
Sultan of Sulu. had just made for the
government of his people new code
of laws, which he hopes and expects
to have ratified by the American au-
thorities at Manila. Under this new
code his majesty calculates to in
crease the revenues of both his gov
eminent and himself. Fines are to
be imposed for all crimes. For muir
der the fine is 100 pesos; for larceny,
from % to 75 pesos, according to
the value of the property stolen; for
adultery, 100 pesos; for abduction of
a woman so pesos; for abuse or in
suit. 10 pesos, and so on. In each
case it is provided that a part of the
fine shall go to the sultans treasury.
The suggestion of Col. Daniel S.
Lamont as the Democratic candidate
for Governor of New York will doubt
less be received with pleasure by the
voters of the state. Col. Lamont is
an exceptionally able man, as was
shown during his services in Wash
ington as President Cleveland's secre-
tary, and later as Secretary of War.
He is, in all probability, one of the
strongest men that could be named
to make the race for the governor
ship against ex-Secretary Root. The
nominations of Lamont and Root
would make the campaign in New
York an active and interesting one.

WHY ROOT HEsITATES.

The presidency with which the
President and the managers of his
campaign insist that former Secretary
of War Root shall accept the Repub-
hcan nomination for Governor of New
York indicates that they are very
much in doubt about the ability Of
their party to carry that state. Mr..
Root is more popular man than Mr..
Roosevelt in New York, notwithstand-
ing the fact that New York is the
latter's home state.
All along II has been said that Mr..
Root refused to permit his name to be
used in connection with the nominal
tion for Governor for the reason that
he wanted to accumulate a competency
before going into politics again. 1t
seems he hasn't a large fortune. The
reason he gave for leaving the War
Department was that he found It nec-
essary to return to his profession.
Now it is being said that the main
reason why he hesitates to yield to
the Presidents opportunities to ac-
cept the gubernatorial nomination is
the fact that he is James ]. Hills
leading counsel in the celebrated
Northern Securities case, the case
| brought by the government to dis
solve the merger of the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern Railways. He
would have to give up his position as
Mr.. HIS counsel, and, consequently,
a very big fee to accommodate the
President. And even IL he did give up
| his connection with the great merger
case 1t might be said, IL he were to
become a candidate for Governor, that
he was not very consistent, since II
was while he was in the cabinet that
the merger suit was brought, and
that he resigned from the cabinet to
become the counsel of the chief pro.
moter of the merger.
A few days ago Mr.. Root. in a for
NAL letter. declined to become a can
| didate for Governor. He saw the diff
| hcultles in the way of accepting the
! position. hut the President seems to
/ be so afraid he cannot get along
| without him that Il wouldn't be sur
! prising N he should withdraw his let
ter Of refusal and accept the nominal
ton. If he should doubtless the cele-
! brated merger case would be heard Of
! frequently in the campaign.

When Gov. Gen. Wood Of Cuba was
severely criticised for licensing the
game of ''jai alai' in Havana, it was
claimed by his friends that the game
was not immoral nor did its success
depend upon the gambling feature that

ital. They asserted that it's popular
ity was due to the merits of the game
as a spectacle, the same as baseball.

tacular athletic sport should flourish,

uanoe of the fair. For several months
company tried to popularize "jai
alai" at the fair, with the gambling
feature eliminated. Some $225.O0O was
expended in the fitting up of "a court,
and players were imported from Spain
and Csba. But nobody paid any at
tention to it, and the other day the
concern closed its doors and went out

FRANCE AND THE VATICAN.

The relations between the Vatican
and France have been broken off, and
there doesn't seem to be any prob
ability that they viii be resumed. They
had been strained for a long time,
and therefore the recall of the Papal
Nuncio at Paris caused no surprise.
The cause Of the latest development
of the trouble was the course pur-
sued by the Bishop of Dion and the
Bishop of Laval. There were charges
against both of them, and they were
summoned to Rome to answer them.
The French government ordered them
TO pay no attention to the summons,
but they chose to obey the Pope,
rather than the government. In fact,
they were alarmed by the attitude of
their superiors at Rome. who told
them that if they continued to dis
obey the church the severest ecclesiasti-
cal penalties would be imposed upon
them. At the same time the French
government was told it had no right
to interfere with the discipline of the
Church
The French government contends of
course that it has sole jurisdiction of
the bishops. This contention is based
upon the Concordat, a treaty that was
made between the Pope and Napoleon
in 1901. Under that treaty the gov
ernment has the right to nominate the
archbishops and bishops, the church
confirming them. For the privilege of
naming the archbishops and bishops,
the government pays the salaries of
the bishops and priests. 1t makes an
year for that purpose. Having the
naming of the archbshOps and bishops.
the government naturally considers
that it practically controls the church
in France. The Pope declines to ac-
cept this view of the matter.
The severance of friendly relations
viii be followed, in all probability, by
the adjustment of the Concordat. That
will have to be done by legislative
enactment but from present indica-
tons that will be obtained without
much trouble, as the majority of the
Chamber of Deputies seem to approve
the course that is being pursued by
the Ministry.
If the Concordat should De abolish-
ed the Church would cease to be much
of factor in Frances affairs. The
priests would, of course, continue to
discharge their duties, but they would
have to look to their congregations, the
same as do ministers of Protestant
churches in this country for their
living expenses. Doubtless the gov
eminent will have some interesting
experiences before it gets it's troubles
with the Pope satisfactorily settled.
