4 REFLECTITE INQUIRY.

It Is the manner in which Governor Hughes of New York does things which accounts for the gossip which attaches to his name in connection with the Republican nomination for President. When he wants to know things he goes about acquiring the knowledge quietly.
 It has been borne in upon him that possibly the recent and prevailing dis turbances in the banking business of that state might upon dispassionate investigation disclose their own rem edfes for like consequences at another time. With that end fin view he has asked a half dozen of the more con- servative bankers of New York city to look into conditions and report if in any way the banking laws of the State require amendment, with the view of anticipating weaknesses. in either organization or conduct
 A commission of this character ought to make recommendation of the highest importance, which may be of service to other States of the Un- ion The most reassuring phase of the movemnt consists in the fact that the movement is launched not as a politi- cal enterprise but as an undertaking designed to safeguard the interests of all concerned.

DIDN'T WE BUY ALLq

While several of the people of this benevolent and beneflcent country wish that they and their fellow citizens hadn't bought the Philippines, they do think that trade is trade, and they will not look with favor on the pro- eeedings which have been instituted by certain residents within the boun- daries of the naval reservation at Ol- ongapo, to determine whether or not the United States government is in lawful possession. The purpose of the suit is to establish the contention that the United States government did not acquire valid title from the span- iards to the lands embraced within that reservation. This contention rests upon the assumption that while the Governor General during the Spanish regime established royal naval station at Olongapo he did so without author ity from Madrid. The Attorney Gen. eral of the Philippines has requested the Secretary of State to obtain from the Spanish government certified copies of all documents found in the archives of the Spanish Navy depart ment pertaining to the establishment of the naval station. The American charge d'affaires ad interim at Madrid has been instructed to ask the Span- ish government to expedite the mat ter of furnishing such copies, and the Navy department has obtained author ity from the Controller of the Treas ury to offer to pay the expenses of copying and certification of the desir- ed papers.
 Of course we want all there is in the Philippines that we were supposed to have bought Very likely we shall get it after the usual red tape has been unrolled and rolled up.

HOOSIER.

People in Connecticut do not partic- ularly object to being called Wooden Nutmeggers, though that name is based on a tradition that people in Connecticut were once smart and sharp enough to sell wooden nutmegs for the real things. Neither do people in Indiana resent being called "Hoos- iers," though originally Hoosier wasn't complimentary name. The Indian apolis News has been studying the word little, and it finds that it orig mated in the South. It was, and per- haps still is, applied to condition and social standing or the lack of it and not to natives of any place, much like the word jay" Persons were hoosiers in the South who were mo account" shiftless, having little and coveting nothing more; people who moved from place to place, the ne'er-do-wells that found moving easier than application to steady industry; the rolling stones that gather no moss. In the early im- migration to Indiana from the South there were many of this class or rather kind. Whether they stayed in Indiana or moved on to Illinois-as Lincoln's father did-they came from the South to Indiana and so the identification of the State with the name and by easy degrees the application of the quali- ties that the name implied to Indian ians; the large New England migration

SOME FASHIONABLE FORKS.

In the elegant catalogues issued by the silvrsmiths there are no pictures of the forks which MT. B. Funnnll Doey is carrying to Point Barrow. Alaska. There are six hundred and for ty' of these forks, silver-plated and each a foot long. Each of the forks weighs a pound and a half, and the whole accordingly weigh nearly half a ton. The forks are in packages of ten each, sixty-four packages in all, and the whole divided into two bales of thirty-two packages each. MT. Doev takes them to Point Barrow, the most northerly point in American Alaska. as presents to the chiefs of Eskimo tribes there and their members, in pursuance of promise made two years ago. Then the forks of visiting American party enormously impressed the natives who watched their use with deep interest. Some criticism having been offered to the small size of the fork, which, per- haps, suffered by comparison with walrus harpoon, MT. Doey had these made to order.
 It is not likely that the Eskimo fashion in forks will spread, except among the Eskimo, but the Eskimo know what they want and what will be useful to them in the polite eating of blubber Which illustrates the fact that fashion is fashion

ANOTHER SHORTAGE.

Though the report of the shortage in the New York cheese crop will not cause sadness in the famine-stricken district of China, where they were new CT hungry enough to eat the fine cheese that was sent for their relief by beneficent but blundering people in this country, it will cause sadness among those in this country who like cheese and like it reasonably cheap A large amount of cheese is usually manufactured in central New York, but the quantity manufactured this season was much beIow the normal, and in spite of record prices there is large decrease in value of the pro- duct from last years figures. The dairy boards of Utica and Little Falls report combined product valued at S1,534, 900. The decrease at Utica was particularly heavy, the official figures showing a falling off of $S36,913 in the seasons cheese, as compared to last year. This is attributed partly to an increased demand for milk to re- lieve the scarcity in New York city. and partly to 8 scarcity of feed.
 Of course If people can't get money to buy cheese with 1t wont make any difference to them whether the price is low or high. But even in these be- wildering times there is ground for belief that there will be some money floating around by and by

ONE OF THE HCPES.

The hopeful people of this hopeful country consistently look for bright spots in the prevalent gloom, and they find some. One of them is the notion that the servant problem" will be less difficult and pressing for awhile. The idea seems to be that owing to the economizing which is going to be done there will be more "help" for those to ehoose from who can afford to hire help, and that the help wont occupy such a thoroughly and impregnabIy dominant position as it has occupied.
 Of course this view of the servant problem" takes no account of the way it may appear to the help. If it did perhaps it might be pointed out that the help has had long run of pros- perity and independence, and that there must be downs as well as ups, even in the lives of the most favored. And if what has long been said about the scarcity of help has been true it will be some time beforeSthe situation presses very heavily on it.

MT. MelIen's Outbreak.
(Hartford Courant.l


 Everybody will read President Mel lens speech of last evening. The soft ness with which it ends is more agree able, and we might add more becom- ing, than the singularly bitter style of it's opening. We would never have had this panic except for reckless speculators, criminal bank manage ment discriminating railroad prices and favors, fortunes accumulated by means that cannot stand daylight, and a whole line of immoral causes. Tho demagogue has played his part, but he had to have something to work upon. Warnings failed to check mis- management. No one who has spoken hereabouts has uttered more emphatic condemnation of corrupt railroad managers or sounded more serious warnings than MT Melllen, who now finds the corporations have been sin ned against, not sinners. In the large sense this is true; but the managers of these concerns have been the chief causes of the outbreak of not always ludicious indignation. The way out is by the method he suggests in clos ing, not by that which he imperson- ates in opening,

Boston an Irish City.

(Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston, in Col
 lier's.)
 Boston is proportionately the most Irish city in America. It has also more folk of Irish descent in 1t than Dub lin, the chief city of Ireland An Irishman can be counted on to vote. Of the vote of Boston, politicians claim that sixty per cent. is Irish. There is no approach to such proportion among the greater cities of the United States, nor any other city of Irish populated New England Boston, be- sides, Is one of the most foreign cities of the country--somewhat less so than Chicago, but just about the equal of New York Of about 561, 900 people In 1900, only 158,000 were of native par entage, and at least one-half of these were third or fourth generation de- scendants of the Irish. With the Ital- ians and other Catholics, the Catholic vote of the city reaches well toward seventy-five per cent. of the total.

What WouIdst Thou Mores

The sun and all the stars shine on thy
 head The grass and blossoms all are at thy
 feet Natures glad pageantries for thee are
 spread, Her winds loosed for thee, seminal
 and sweet; For thee young morn binds his bright
 sandals on. Pale evening leads thee to the moth
 er-fold; The patient seasons serve thee; none
 are gone Of all the glories thronging from of
 old. Hoar silence sings thee her primeval
 lay; Apt dream wraps round thee her en-
 chanting light; August companions walk with thee by
 day They share thy bed in darkness of
 the night; The full years pour upon thee of their
 store, They gather for thy lap. What
 wouldst thou more? John Vance Cheney, in the Century Magazine.

THE HONEST ANGLERS.

A National Association of Honest Anglers has been organized, and it will doubtless soon have a large member ship. For there are many Honest An- glers, and Honest Anglers are com- panionable and especially fond of the society of each other. This association will do much to increase human pleas- ure. It can, and probably will, also do much to increase human faith. Now the term fish story" isn't exactly re- spectful Fish stories have either been too true or not true enough. Now there can be way of knowing what a fish story Is. Stories that are just true enough can be endorsed by the Nation al Association of Honest Anglers and can thereafter go their rounds in peace and safety There are so many good and true fish stories that it is a pity that they cannot be called fish stories without also calling them fishy stories Welcome, then, to the National Asso- ciation of Honest Anglers and to the fish stories that may have it's honest indorsement.

Writing of the methods of fighting adopted by the Moorish around Casa blanca, a correspondent says: "The French troops performed no child's play in defending Casablanca against the repeated attacks made on their position outside the city. One of the Moorish horsemen's devices was to charge for a short distance at full gallop, dragging large bundle of sticks along the ground. The sticks raised a dense cloud of dust, under cover of which it was easy for the men on foot to advance and fire on the French. The fire, in fact, was so hot that General Drude's tent was rid died with bullets, and he ordered the flag flying over it to be hauled down" "

The highest church spire in St Louis is being built in novel way It's pinnacle will soar 246 feet above the ground. It is the first grille work spire in America, the entire steeple being constructed of stone lattice, giv- ing free play to heavy winds. Engi- neering applications in the construc- ton of this spire are novel, as every piece of stone used in the steeple has been cut at the base of the tower by tools run by compressed air, and the same agency has hoisted the stones to the several stagings of the work Pneumatic tubing is carried up the derrick to the successive stages. Stones weighing fifty pounds have been shot through these tubes to the workmen above and held In place by the air until removed from the tubes The whole spire will be crowned by a steel cap, seventeen feet high, and several steeplejacks will be required to fasten 1t in place.

NEEDS COMMISSIONS ATTENTION.


Some months ago we had occa-
sion to complain of the Rock
Island falling to wait FIVE minutes
at Ruston for v. S. & P. connec-
tion. but things have changed now.
On two trips recently the writer
has been delayed Rock Island
train. but not FIVE minutes. The
engineer on the Rock Island
reached up to blow his whistle for
the crossing when the engineer on
the v. S. & P. beat him to it, got
the crossing and left some fifteen
or twenty passengers who wanted
to board that train going east.
Some who only wanted to go to
Monroe or other points on the v.
S. & p. were compelled to reman
in Ruston from $500 a. m. to 1887
p. m. Those who wanted to &c
farther east bought their tickets
on the Rock Island via Memphis,
1t does seem poor business for
railroads to treat their patrons in
this manner.

Attorney General Bonparte has
announced in an interview that
the government is about tired of
imposing fines onbig corporations
that recklessly disregard the law.
He says that while an accumula-
tion of fines reaching a large
amount may act as a deterrant,
such penalties only too frequently
are paid out OF the treasury of the
corporation whether they are as
sessed against individual officers
or not. aad result only in de-
creasing the company's dividends
and thus stricking many innocent
stockholders without affecting the
high officials who are really at
fault. He intimates that a jail
sentence. which will have to be
served by the officials against
whom it is directed. seems a much
SIMPLER and more effective meas
ure. This will be bad intelligence
for the managers of many big
corporations who supposed they
were "law-proof." 1t will be in
teresting Ito see whether the At
terney General will have the
hardihood to put his threat into
execution.
