roes; they are the most ordinary
tramps or slum-dw ellers, and what he
writes are not novels in the proper
sense of the word, merely sketches of
life. And yet, in the literature of all
nations, including the short stories of
Guy de Maupassant and Bret Harte,
there are few thing; in which such a
fine analysis Of complicated and strug.

struck by the quite unexpected variety

Ryeshetnikoff and his school had
tried to write novels of an ultrarealistic

PHILIPPINE COMMERCE.

In his annual report Secretary Taft
recommends that the present law apply
ing the coastwise trade laws of the
United States to the trade between the
Philippines and this country be sus-
pended in it's operation until 1909. This
is deemed to be necessary in order to
prevent great damage being done to the
commerce of the islands. The present
law provides for the application of the
cOastwise laws to trade between the
Philippines and this country after July
l. 1906. When this legislation was
adopted it was supposed that at the
date fixed for it to go into effect there
would be American shipping ready to
take up the trade. So far there are no
signs that this will be the case and it
is an entirely safe prediction that il
the law to which Secretary Taft refers
goes into effect at the time designated
there will not be a sufficient number of
American vessels to carry on the trade
with the islands, even if it should not
increase any in the meantime. In that
event there can be no doubt that the
trade would seriously suffer.
1t is probable. however, that congress
will see the wisdom and expediency OF
extending the law as suggested by the
secretary of war, or at any rate for q
couple of years. II this shall be done
and the proposition to reduce duties on
Philippine products, as urged by Presi
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft shall
be adopted, the growth in trade with the
Philippines will possibly warrant the
building OF American vessels for the
commerce between the islands and the
United States. There seems to be q
quite general disposition in congress
favorable TO action that will promote
the Industrial and commercial welfare
of the Philippines

THE NEW BRITISH CABINET.

The cabinet formed by Sir Henry
Campbell Zimmerman appears TO have
the cordial approval of the newspaper
organs Of the liberal party, while the
conservative press comedies that the
new premier has constituted a stronger
ministry than had been deemed possible
PROFESSIONALLY there are in the cabinet
men of high order of ability, who have
a strong claim to public confidence. Such
men as Asquith and Grey and Morley
and Bryce have a distinction that is
recognized beyond Great Britain and
are representative of the most enlight-
ened and liberal sentiment of their
countrymen politically. The counsel Of
such men may safely be counted upon
to be in the interest of peace, progress
and the extension of liberal institutions.
The majority of the members of the
ministry are little known outside of
Great Britain, but undoubtedly they are
all well qualified for the positions to
which they are assigned.
1t is a cabinet which will give no en-
enlargement to the advocates of fiscal
reform. The prime minister himself is
one Of the strongest supporters of the
existing system and the men he has
called into the,ministry are undoubtedly
in hearty sympathy with him. Conse.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.

Few important changes have been
made by Speaker Cannon in the chair
manships Of the house committees.
Representative Payne Of New York re-
mains chairman Of the committee on
ways and means and by virtue Of that
position the floor leader. The ways and
means committee will have little to do
in the present congress, or at any rate
in the first session, so that Mr.. Payne
will have ample time for whatever
duties may fall TO him as the floor man
ager. Representative Tawney of Min
nesota heads the committee on appro-
priations and has the most important
and difficult task OF any chairman, as
the question of keeping down appro-
priations is the one of first concern. No
better selection for this position could
have been made and it can be conf
IDENTIFY predicted that the appropriations
committee will take determined stand
against whatever appears like extrava-
gance in public expenditures. Repre-
sentative Burton of Ohio continues at
the head of the committee on rivers and
harbors, in which position he has made
a most excellent record.
All the men appointed to committee
chairmanships are thoroughly familiar
with the duties and have records for
industry and fidelity. The house of rep
resentatives can now proceed to active
work and a strictly business session is
promised.

QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED.
Proposed Quiz Concerning National
Bank Methods.

Wall Street Journal.
The senate has passed resolution call
ing on the Treasury department for In
formation as tor whether the reports Of eX-
aminers show--tAat- national banks made
contributions tOhShe political committees,
the same as the insurance companies have
done.
Banks are as necessary as the railroads
for the development of the country. Both
are engaged in the business of transporta-
ton. That is to say. the business OF both
is to facilitate the exchange of commodi-
ties In fact. banks existed before the
railroad and are even more important as
an essential part of the economic system.
The national bank system in particular has
stood the test Of a generation, and as a
system is not open to legitimate attack.
1t is performing a splendid work.
Nevertheless, the senate might well ex-
tend the scope of its inquiry so as to as
certain other facts besides the special in
formation which It asks from the Treasury
department. 1t is all very we'll to ascer-
tain whether national banks have made
political contributions. But why not ask
also to wnat extent national banks are
violating the national bank law; to what
extent the comptroller of the currency fails
to enforce the law; TO what extent ma
tional banks are able to obtain exclusive
information of treasury policy, and to what
extent the national banks are using trust
companies-the language the secretary OF
the treasury is now quoted-"as a means
to encroach upon the reserve contemplated
by statute" The senate might also in
quire to what extent political and family
influences are responsible for the appoint
ment of incompetent bank examiners
