If man is so in tense that his devotionB to his work makes him cross with his children and curt to his friends. his efficiency in the work itself is blunted. says the Sunday School Times.

The refusal of the national house of

The refusal of the national house of representatives to strike out an Item in the sundry civil appropriation bill de- voting $130.000 for the annual rental of the old custom house in New York city recalls a transaction which shows how subservient the government at Washington has become to corporate wealth, says an exchange. Let the facts which we are about narrate speak for themselves. About four years ago the United States government sold the custom house and site in Wall street for S3,20O0O0 to Roekefellers 'bank--the National City Bank of New York. The government agreed to pay an annual rental of $130,000 to the bank for the use of the property until the new custom house had been built. Tn this way the government became a tenant instead of landlord for an in- definite period. There is no telling when the new custom house, will be finished, but if it takes ten years or twenty years to complete it, Rocke- feller's bank will continue to collect the neat little sum of $13C;000 every year from Uncle Sam. Already about a half million has in this way been added to the capital of the National City bank of New York.

 The Pacific side of the continent is familiar with worse specimens of the Chinese than is the Atlantic side.
 On the other hand the Atlantic side is more familiar with the lowest type of European immigrants that has pre- ponderated among the importations for a decade or more. The civil China man of the east is preferred by many to the uncivil European capable of nothing but common labor, degraded in his ideas of proper living and un- satisfactory in his personal habits. Under these circumstances it may be difficult to enact a law for the evcIll- sion of the Chinese without preD sion to evclude the hardly more desirale European-Pittsburg Gazette.

Speaker cannon by sending in her card on which she had described her self as his cousin, and when he saw her she still further astonished him by proceeding glibly to recite facts in the family history of the Cannons of which the speaker supposed no body was aware except few of his most intimate family connections. It seems that the Cannons and the Riveses intermarried away back in the early part of the century in North Carolina and that the young Virginia writer is actually what she assumes to be-the speakers second cousin.
 Speaker Cannon's southern ances- Cry is thing about which he rarely speaks and about which comparatively few people know But he is really a genuine southerner, having gone from North Carolina to Illinois as a boy, and he has never lost some of his southern traits. Uncle Joe was of Quaker descent and he retains to- day many of the simple, direct charac. teristics of the society of the Friends.
 It has been noticed more than once during his political career that he has 8 warm spot in his heart for the peo pie south of Mason and Dixon's line. He was one of the last men in the house to fall i'll to support the Lodge election bill away back in the Fifty first congress, and he has never shown any sympathy for the proposi. tion to reduce the representation Of the south on account of disfranchise. ment of the negro.

Nrder of things since the acquisition of the Philippines and the reorganiza, tion of the army, to say nothing of the beginning of work on the Panama canal, nas become the most important member of the cabinet. More weighty questions from now on will come un before him for settlement than before any other of the presidents counsel lors. All problems growing out of the new acquisitions of territory as well as out of the construction of the canal must be considered first by the secre. tary of war, and in the last few weeks 1t has been rare day that the secre. tary has not been summoned before some committee or other in order to clear up a knotty question. The com mittee on the Philippines has had him to discuss the question of the exten- sion of the Philippines law in its pro. visions concerning the application of the coastwise trade regulations to the Philippine Islands. The committee on interoceanic canals has had him discuss ing the bill for the government of the canal strip. The committee on military affairs has talked over with him all sorts of questions relating to the ad- ministration of the army.
 But after all it is not in the discus aion of these executive matters that

It is in the consid- eration of party policies, in which the president and members of the senate and house are mutually interested, that calls into play his most valuable qualities of usefulness and political sense.

Army General Staff.

'
 The general staff of the army Is rapidly making itself obnoxious at the capitol. The military affairs commit. tees of the senate and house resent what seems to be a growing disposition on the part of Gen. Chaffee and his subordinates to control absolutely all questions relating to military admins tration. Congress feels that the dis position of the army is a matter which can be properly supervised by congress with the assistance of civilian sec the little group of army officers com prising the general staff should be the Ultimate court of decision.
 Under Secretary Root. to whose abil- ity and urgency the creation Of the general staff is due, there was less dis position to control the whole business, and Gen. Young, in the beginning. at any rate, was inclined to recognize the superior authority of the civilian sec retary. When MT. Root went abroad to serve on the Alaskan boundary conn mission, however, the general staff be- gan gradually to absorb the functions of the secretary of war and to encroach upon the duties of the civilian admin istrator of the department, so that when Root returned he found the staff in the saddle. He had so little time to serve that he did not undertake 10 curb the staff but left that unWelcome task for his successor. who, of course. lacked the prestige of having brought the staff into existence Secretary Taft will have a merry time on his hands when he fairly gets to work to bring the staff to realization of the true ad. justment of its relations to the uni verse.

SSlA. <AAAi7 !" VI tiA- GXLTaCTQinaTy Q1S- tinction for man who has won his way to the confidence of successive seere- taries of war and members of congress of both parties by an exhibition of ex- traor mary executive ability.
 When Gen. Ainsworth came to the war department about a dozen years ago the records of the department were in a state of chaos. It took days and sometimes weeks for the pension office, which was dependent upon the depart ment of records in the adjudication of the claims to find out just what was the record during the war of any given soldier. Gen. Ainsworth, by the adop- tion of 3 system of his own and by wedding out the superannuated and lazy clerks in the department, has made it possible to find any given record within half an hour, and the extraordinary thing about it is that he has vastly increased the efficiency of the division while actually decreas- ing the expense.

It is altogether too early to form any opinions about the wheat crop, which now is probably in better con dition than at the time of the govern ment statement says Banker Clews. Yet that had 8 decidedly discouraging effect upon speculation, and from now on the crops will be factor of ip- creasing importance in the market. As to railroad earnings some disappoint- ment must be confessed, for after the losses from severe weather in January and February it was hoped that March would show a general improvement, which was not the case, majority of the roads reporting decreases last month. Of course, traffic was inter- rupted by bad roads over large sec tions of the country, so that April may make a better exhibit, and if not rhe returns will have to be accepted as a part of the business reaction that Wall street has been anticipating. March cleanings in the United States, it may be mentioned, showed reduce tion of 12 per cent compared with last year, the whole of which practi- cally occurred in the Middle and New England states, the Western, Southern and Pacific coast states continuing to report satisfactory gains. The losses in the East, however, are more at tributable to the shrinkage of specula- ton than to the decline of legitimate business. It is not likely that business ill general has fallen off more than 5 per cent in tie East, an insignificant decline considering the immense vol ume of last years trade. The larger share of this could be traced to labor agitation and iron trade reaction; while the effect of the war in Asia and the Presidential election here some what checks enterprise.
