OLD new YEAR CUSTOMS

In age most of the holidays we
keep are young as compared with
the new year. From the time of
the Julian reformation of the cal
ender, the old Romans kept the first
Of January as a holiday, dedicating
it and and the whole of the follow
ing month t. Janus who opened
and closed the gates of the year.
Sacrifices were offered to him on
twelve affairs corresponding to the
months OF the year, and people were
careful to be on their best behavior
that day that it might prove a pro-
pitious augury for the whole year.
1t was a day Of visiting, of family
gatherings, and of exchanging of
gifts, and also of the reconciling' of
differences between friends and rel
atiyes. These observances in our
day are associated with Christmas
rather than with New Year, but the
more fully they are observed wheth-
er at the one season or the other,
the more blessed the result.
Among other ancient customs of
the new year were the cutting and
exchanging of branches of mistletoe
by the Druids, and the presentation
of eggs by the Persians.

The new REPUBLICAN POLICY

We are not surprised that there
are those whose rock-ribbed stand
patism is offended by Secretary
Mac Veagh's speech, in which he
told his Boston hearers that the re-
auctions of the Payne tariff law
have not reached the final limit,
and that while we now rest awhile
we have not gone to sleep. He
thus puts the case:
The is one great fact that
makes a new tariff epoch. That
fact is that the Republican party
has changed its front. Whereas it
has been marching toward higher
and higher tariff, it has now faced
about and is marching, no matter
how slow any one may think its
present pace is, toward lower tariffs.
1t has recognized changed conditions
This is wonderful, radical and
fundamental change, the Importance
Of which has not been sufficiently
recognized.
It is true that the Payne bill
does not contain as much down.
ward revision as the great majority
of members of the Republican party
had wished. 1t is perfectly we'll
known that it did not contain as
much Of that revision as the Presi-
dent wished. But the Payne bill
AS it, passed the House was an in
territorial and avowed revision
downward, and, tholit was notified
before it was finally enacted, it
would be impossible to deny success
fully that as it stands it is practi-
cal confirmation of the new policy
Of the Republican party"
1t may be said that Mr.. Mac
Veagh has been Democrat, and
that his statement is personal, but
there is this change in the Republi-
can drift, and many will be glad to
see the party, which was compelled
after the Civil War to turn to pro-
lection, ready to consider the con-
sumers as we'll as the manufacturers.

Washington. June 4.-Imrortant
changes in the scope and character of

The Philippines are now under the SUI
pervision Of the bureau Of insular affairs

moan possessions and the island OF
Guam, neither Of which has a c,vil ter

t"Cl Of the secretary OF the navy. Alaska,
Porto Rico and Hawaii, each with a full
OF limited territorial government. are

~ cretary of the interior. There 10 war
rant for the understanding that Mr., Taft
b' leves that all the outlying territories
should be placed under the supervision
OF one branch of the executive govern

favor the bureau OF insular affairs or n
new bureau modelled somewhat along
the lines OF the colonial Offices of for
