PHILIPPINE WHITE ELEPHANT.
Manila Paper Tells What Is Needed in
 the Islands.

There is a story that once upon a time an Eastern prince presented an elephant to a poor, but honest man as a mark of his favor. Fear of giving .offense prevented this poor man from refusing the gift or from disposing of this expensive burden; therefore, be- sides making a miserable existence for himself and his suffering family, he had to feed the voracious elephant, and this has passed into the proverb; He has an elephant on his hands"
 The Philippine people will patiently feed and care for a few of these man. ifestations of love and good will" be- cause, as Taft said, 'they are child ish"; but when those who against our will and without our consent. are not only wasting all our revenue but inn porting highly paid experts to study new absurdities on which to spend new taxes or increase existing taxes, We feebly beg to be excused from hay ing further gifts forced upon us.
 Just now we are threatened with the unsought and useless gift of deep sea fishing steamer called the Alba tross, for a country like the Philip pines, composed of more than 1,200 isl- ands where, so to speak. the coast line is crowded with shallow sea fishing. We have a fleet of coast guard steamers built at an enormous cost of unwilling taxpayers money, apparent l ly for no earthly use. It sems that when the commission was at Benguet and decided that no more money could possibly be spent on that road that season they decided that it would be d capital plan to build lot of steam CTS something like private yachts; so 1 by figuring out the number of miles to and from delightful places, suitable to visit on inspection tours CD and then calculating the number of miles approximately that could be travelled day, contracts were given to Shang- hai and elsewhere to build coast guard steamers and a bureau of navigation was established.
 The coast guard steamers would not do for deep sea fishing" chiefly be- cause, if they were thus employed, it
 would prevent this new deep sea bureau being formed, and, further more, these coast guard steamers cost about $15O per day to run, so most of the time they are tied up at Engineers Island, Only now and again, when a commissioner wants to come from Japan two or three days earlier than i could be done by regular liner, do these coast guard steamers seem to carry out the subtle idea for which apparently they were built. No one has ever suggested any other use for 1 them.
 It is not a new deep sea bureau" that the Filpinos need as much as a 1 balloon to raise taxes to supply the 1 present bureau chiefs with enough money to cary out their extrayagant 1 ideals
 l Yes, we have had whole drove of elephants forced upon us that we feed tout of our poverty.-El Renacimiento, Manila.

THE WEATHER.
As PhiIosophically Viewed From the
 Financial Center.

Frost and sunshine and cold rains have driven Wall street to find some comforting philosophy in the tradi- tions which many of the men here brought with them from the farm which they left ten, twenty, or thirty years ago. In times when the crop outlook is not particularly promising an old tradition is better than nothing at all to tie to.
 One of these traditions Is that wet May makes plenty of hay And this is based upon the fact that if May is favored with abundant rains so that the soil of the fields, the springs of the hillsides, and the forests of the n1oun- tain tops are laden with moisture like sponges, it guarantees a full supply of water for the thirsty plants in the days when nature does not have time to rain, but is preoecupied with mak- ing things grow.
 l LiANAN iS IAONlitl5 AAllC 0O SOOu lO conserve the recouyses of the soil as rich, heavy turf or covering of grass es. It insures that the cattle shall be sleek and fat against the butcherng time of the autumn and winter. It | protects the soil aginst the wastes of exposure during the winter, and it makes the barn lofts bulge with redo lent hay, crop that is worth as much as wheat.
 l Wall street just now seems to think that nature does not quite understand i her business. that she is wasting time in raining and showing and covering the sky with clouds when she ought to be drying up the streams and giving farmers a chance to blow their fur rows and plant crops in their own way But 1t would not do to let Wall street run the workings of nature, | even though nature were willing to swap jobs. What nature would do if put in charge of Wall street affairs is 1 just about as certain as the other thing would be. It might be like the classic chauffeur who undertook to drive the sun across the heavens and soon found his car running amuck amidst the stars.
 What though the winter wheat crop has had to be marked down several pegs on the scale of ratings! What though three weeks late in getting into the ground! What though the oats crop should be cut even shorter than that of last year by late seeding! What though one-third of the corn should fail to sprout and give the cut worms 1 the best chance to show what they can do in wet soil The farmer Is not going to get much less for his summers work than he did last year. If his grain crop falls short his grass crops and live stock are likely to make up for much of it. Even If the United States crop should be 20 per cent. less | than last years, the gross income will be very much the same. Meanwhile, let us wait till the clouds roll by" The sun is still somewhere in the heavens, doing business along the same old route. The farmer is at work and there are from two to seven months more before the fields are ready for the sickle,-Wall Street Journal,

CHASUPIONED WATER.
Yet Editor Showed It Not the High
 Emblem Claimed.

Governor Hoch of Kansas, has gone and done it, we fear. It is a courage ous or a foolhardy thing to say a good word for water in these excited times, but whichever it is Governor Hoch has said it. He said it in such a way, too, that dodging logical conclusions or ob- vious applications is difficult, while he must dodge or take the consequences.
 It all came about this way: A week ago to-day the Kansas City Journal, reputable and intelligent newspaper, took occasion to comment rather mor- dantly on current story to the ef- feet that there had been much trouble in getting a crew for the battleship Kansas until the ceremony of naming her. originally performed with the aid of water, was repeated with the as- sistance of a bottle of wine. Under the head of 'Sundry Superstitions' the comment ran: Tt is hard to tell which foolishness was the greater, the refusal to christen her with wine or the refusal to sail in her until the wine christening had been made. Both refusals were concessions to superst- tion and prejudice, This discharge promptly brought Governor Hoch into
 action with all his turrets and bat teries ablaze. In letter which he I,Wrote to the offending publication he proclaimed that the idea that "any christening at all is of any practical importance in the career of a ship much less a wine christening" was
 ancient idiocy." For his part he was proud of the fact that the battleship Kansas is the only ship in the history Iof the American navy exclusively christened at its launching with Wa ter and so forth and so on, with all This heaviest oratorical artillery the attack eliminating in the following broadside:
 lis an intoxicating drink an emblem of patriotism? What has it ever con- tributed to the glory of the republic or It's navy? On the other hand, water l is the symbol of all that is pure and strong in American life"
 Did Governor Hoch never hear of "watered stock" "watered securities land "watered capitalization, or of propositions to "let the water in' and land to squeeze the water out" of cor
 porations? If water is the high and
 holy emblem tha Governor Hoch
 says it is, how comes 1t to be the sign
 and symbol of the exploits "of those lmembers of the predatory classes
 whose anti-social power is immeasure- ably increased because of the very fact i that they possess wealth." Stock wa
 tering' may be as much of a misno-
 mer as it is a process little understood, but there are those who regard dilu- 1 tion as synonym for the very devil,
 and as some of them live in Kansas
 we think we see trouble coming for
 Governor Hoch, unless he can explain
 that in his efforts to stand up and be
 counted with the rum-haters he did
 not mean to align himself with the i friends of monopoly and exploitation
 of the people.-New York Sun

There are at present four nurses fully occupied; shall even a part Of their work be. given up at the end of a few months for lack of money to carry it on, leaving greater misery and darkness where the light has once sHined2 Shall the safety and education sof many school children be jecpardized, and the hard work of the teachers made harder because the nurses aid to the school inspection must be withheld? The visiting nurse work will be done as long as there are funds or the promise of funds, We feel sure that New Haven. which has so generously Helped this work so far, will not be the only city which has de- creased instead of increasing it's visit ing nurse work, Contributions of mon

You Never See Them Among the Wine
 Opcners-Wbat Becomes of Thems
 What becomes of the men who lose in Wall street? They are seldom heard of The visitor to New York gets the notion that the gay crowd of the Street" comprises them all. But this crowd is altogether misrepresenta- tive and has no true sign value, says a writer on Wall street in the New Broadway Magazine. You can retain your equilibrium easily in watching them, by remembering that Walker, of New Britain, is hiding somewhere, a fugitive from justice; that Bigelow, of Milwaukee, is in prison; that there are many other men who went down hard with big crashes; and that, for every one of the big men, there are ten thou sand little men, whose losses are small- CT but not a whit less fatal. You would find some of them tonight in New York, if you knew in what win dow to look figuring anxiously and endlessly, looking over insurance pa pers to see if further loans are ad- missable. Their wives are sewing; tuelf uduSuterS are Sluuy lHS Sleu- ography. You will find others hang ing about hotel Hobbies, and the mo- ment you catch their eye, or grip their hands, you know that they are nervous, distraught, broke, restless-typical Wall street victims.
 The others, professionals, parasites, satellites. winners, you will find in the cafes and hotel restaurants, making up a large part of the crowds at Sherry's and Delmonico's, Martins and Rec tors, the Waldorf, Manhattan, Astor. St, Regis, and Holland house, Wall street, by day, demands the Great White Way at night. From the mo- ment the market opens till it's close the game is a fast and furious one of sharp trickery, clever lodging, raillery, bluffing, hypocrisy, lying Nerves are constantly tense; the brain must be clear and quick at every move. Sue cessful lying uses up gray matter; and the flash and festivity of the Tender loin at night is just unnatural enough to fit in and offer the kind of recrea- tion desired.
