THE TALK OF THE DAY.

| The current number of die Woche'' (Berlin)
| contains an article on 1.-THE Laughing Yankee
in which the inhabitants OF the United States are
described as 'Jolly. laughing people. full OF
optimism" The writer says: '"The hurnor with
| which the American tells Of q happening Ia
unique-it is simply American. Quiet dry and ac-
conpaned by sly smile which sometimes becomes
q grim he tells his story. His huInor Is seldom OF
the boisterous kind. Sometimes the relator OF q

born hunorists they also speakers" The
fondness of Americans for practical Jokes is dwet

his long Journey from the furthest north 70 Wash

from the Roosevelt last Saturday.
Commander Peary said that he should stay q few
OF the Arctic Club, and would leave there for
Washington in the afternoon. He Will report at the
Navy Department later in the week
He said that he could not say whether he would
make another attempt TO find the Pole. He re-
iterated his statements that his failure this time
was due principally TO tho six days storm and the
unusually open weather OF last spring.
He was asked II he could not have made better
progress by using canoes did Nansen- Com
nander Peary replied that Il not feasible to use
canvas canoes with so large party, and that he
was satisfied that his method OF establishing series
of relay stations was the best He pointed out that
Nansen IN his dash had only a single companion.
and the two able TO cross the open foes IN
the canvas canoe. The Peary expedition this year

THE SPANISH CHURCH PBORIFu


The Spanish Cabinet certainly has the cour-
age of its convictions. 1t has SET out to abro-
gate the Concordat and disestabish the Roman
catholic Church, and to that end it will devote
one-half Of the time Of the present session of
the Cortes, and it will stay In Office until It is
voted out. How long that will be is an inter
esting question. It's determination to give half
the time to the religious laws was an.
proved by the Chamber of Deputies by the over
Whelm1ng majority of 161 to 4. But that does
not indicate that 1t has the support Of a ma
1ority, for 266 Deputies did not vote What the
result would be in full house of 431 Deputies
must be left TO conjecture
The government is undertaking the abroga-
non OF the Concordat negotiated recently with
the Vatican by Sefor Maura, when last the
conservatives were in power, and also that
earlier and original COncordat of 1851 which is
recognized by the present constitution of the
Kingdom. Under the constitution the govern
meht Is bound to support the clergy and main
TAIN the buildings of the Church, and It has
been doing so at a cost in recent years of about
SSoOoeO0 year. The present proposition
then, is practically 10 amend the constitution
Nhether the government will insist upon with
drawing the entire subsidy from the Church is
10 ne seen 1t has committed itself absolutely
10 the principle Of the legality Of civil mar
fages, which the Church continues to denounce
as mere concubinage. and also to the burial In
church cemeteries of the bodies of those who
have died outside the pale of the Church
1he government also proposes to strengthen

One of President Eliots reasons-ano ne lays
much stress upon it-for approving of rowing
and tennis and disapproving of football and
several other intercollegiate sports is that the
latter offer many opportunities for cheatins'
But if the fact be admitted, the conclusion does
not necessarily follow 1t may be said IN passing
that there are many inducements ana opportuiii-
ties for cheating in college classrooms ana at
examinations. But, strictly within the neid OIL
sports which are, of course to be regarded as
of secondary Importance, it must appear 10
most persons we think, that more Is to be gained
by cultivatng a high sense Of honor among
students and promoting sturdy resistance u
temptation than by excluding games intrlnsicahy
excellent merely because they are capaoie Oh
being dishonesty played.
