A Merry War is On.

A merry war is on between mem
bers of the house of representatives
over the concentration of power in the
committees on appropriations and
ways and means. The inactivity of
twenty years of committees on eXpen-
Gitures in the different executive de-
lartments naturally gave the latter
committees autocratic power in shap-
ing the business of the government.
Now these rejuvenated committees
one for each of the nine executive de-
Jartments-have been rehabiltated.
1t is their duty to act as auditors for
congress on the expenditures in the
departments. and they should also gov
ern the question of clerk hire. clerk
pay and the general conduct of BUSH
ness.
The members of the appropriations
and ways and means committee do
not intend to let go Of their monopoly
without a fight, and this the members
OF the expenditures committee prom
Use to give them. Bills affecting clerk
pay and hire are still being referred
10 the ways and means committee if
they refer to customs employees, and
the appropriation committee is dealing
right along with the question of clerk
salaries and clerical increases.
There is urgent need for the rehab-
ilitation Of these committees as it will
be their duty to see that the execu-
tive departments adhere to the law
and do not misappropriate funds to
some fad Of the departments head.
aud thereby let other branches of the

FISHING TIME IN THE PASIG
Swimming In MyrIads Near Surface
They Are Shared and speared
by Filipinos.

Friday morning Fflipinos sharing
cells and other fish in the Pasig near
the old captain of the port building by
the aid of fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. It was fully ten feet in length.
Both banks of the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored In the
stream were thronged with hundreds
Of Filipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that In myri-
ads were swimming near the surface
of tho stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
modsly In their statement to the eff
feet that at this time of the year the
bottom Of the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths of
the stream and fash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
a great many adherents was to the ef-
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character
Of the water, this change acting on
the fish as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome-
non for many PENNSYLVANIA Times.

IRISH TONGUE CRUSHED OUT
Curious story Of How "Tally-Stick"
Was Used Decades Ago to XIII
Gaelic Language.

The curious story of how the tally
stick" crushed out the remains OF the
ancient Irish language among Irish
children some decades ago was told
the other day by T. P. O'Connor. the
Irish political leader.
when the English we're determined
to make all Ireland over into a sort
of England" said Mr.. O'Connor, they
used some most unusual means.
Among these was the 'tally-stick.' This
vas a small stick Of wood which each
child was forced to wear on cord
about his neck Every time his par
ents heard him say a word OF Irish
they we're supposed to cut a notch in
the stick lust as the American trap
pers of the old days are said to have
notched the stocks of their guns every
time they killed an Indian. Then
when the child got to school the next
day the master counted the notches
And for each notch the child was CIV
on one blow with a switch-one notch,
one blow; two notches, two blows; SIX
notcbes. six blows. Thus the Irish
language was beaten out OF the
mouths of the Irish children.
"Tn school the little ones were
taught to look on, themselves not as
Irish children, bhtta English. They
were not taught any Irish history. and
the fires of patriotism In them were
damped in every way.
"But of late years there has come
up a great national movement in Ire
land which has restored the ancient
Irish or Gaelic tongue, and has made
the people proud of their ancient liter
allure. 1t has reawakened the pride Of
the Irish nation. A university has
lust been founded in which the Irish
language is now being taught BY six
or eight professors"
