VIEWS
A SILENT STATESMAN.
Hartford T1mesN


 As statesman he may be glitter ing success, but as an autobiographer Jeremiah Donovan, who represents the Fourth Connecticut district in Con- gress of the United States, trifIes with precedent, houts custom, ignores the dire needs of the press agent Read in the Congressional directory of the Sixty-third Congress, first session, his self-written record of his career:
 Jeremiah Donovan, Democrat. of South Norwalk, was born in Ridge field, Conn; is 59 years of age; elect ed to the Sixty third Congress.
 That is all. There is no record of early struggles, no moving tale of ed- ucation acquired, obtained, absorbed; no chronicle of triumphant political battles, no recital of honors thrust up- on and thrust at him in the Connecti- cut legislature; no odious comparison of votes received by candidates in the last election. And this from one who sits in the same chamber which but a brief season ago sheltered the appre- ctative MT. Idttlepage, he who recit- ed his labors 'tearly and late' for the welfare of the republic and called at- tention to the pIaudits received for patriotic and conservative'' course in the halls of legislation.
 The daunt1ess Jeremiah adds I new laurel to his crown. He is a silent statesman. Congratulations to him as the talented author of the shortest autobiography in the entire volume.

 Former Representative E. J. Hill of Connecticut has a light and sportive hunor which has been too obscured of a protective tarfH Now that he is free he has gone back to Washing ton to look on at the impending de- struction, and has refreshed himself by several caustic witticisms which are thus chronicled in a special dis patch from Washington. He told Representative Reilly that he had come down to attend g. funeral.
 Whose funeral?'' asked MT. Reilly.
 '1The Democratic party's,'' replied MT. HiIl.
 But this was only the beginning or the flow of wit, although one more specimen must suffice. Tn this Mir. Hi1I explained that he was in Wash tngton to attend a wedding.
 Whose wedding?'' asked the man who was ready to be the goat.
 '.The wedding of Miss Democracy and Free Trade" replied MT. Hill.
 Now all this iS aetonish1ng1y good must leave the rest untold. Speaking more seriously MT. Hill co1nmunicat- ed the awful intelligence that Ameri- can textile manufacturers cannot pro- d1Tce cloth that is valued at over 50 cents a pound unless there Is a duty of about 45 per cent It is an awful thought, but if that is true it might in the long run be better for American consumers to buy foreign goods out right and abolish the duty. An in dustry which after all these years needs that protection in order to be able to live may not sound economy.

Un- der the old regime the native priest hood had held only subordinate posi- tions, while the regular clergy was composed almost entirely of Spaniards. Tn fact, not a Filipino held an impor- tant ecclesiastical position during the half century preceding the American occupation. The schisna with the priests, was more political than spir-3 itual.

One of the strongest religious com
 pounds of this age of new creeds and
 tsn1s is La Iglesia F'fIipina Indepen-
 ddenteA or the Independent Philippine
 Church, which, in a decade has gain
 ed membership of some five millions,
 in a field formerly occupied by the Ro- man Catholic Church to the exclusion
 of all others. To-day is the fifty
 third birthday of the first chief bishop and founder of the new sect, Gregoric him in the organization of the church was Don Isabelo de los Neyes. a news- paper man, scholar and savant, and also a socialist. The Independent Phil ippine Church owes it's rapid growth to the popularity of the founders, its ap- doctrinaI dbera1ity.
 The Philipine Church has assuredIy put new wine into old bottles for while retaining the ritual and church government of Catholicism it's theol- ogy is a mixture of the beliefs of Karl Marx, Matthew Arnold, Robert G. In gerso1 and Herbert Spencer. It's priests preach, among other things, the common holding of property, universal brotherhood, love that recognizes no boundaries,A freedom of scientific re- search and a broad lfbera1ity and toll erance that admits no dogmas. Above all, members are absolutely forbid den to attack other churches for any reason whatever And yet this church as liberal in it's tenets as theosophy or unitarianisn, adheres to most of the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic church, and has a celibate priesthood. The priests and deaconesses are not forbidden to marry, but the church authorities recommend that they re- main free from the cares of family life.
 Monsenor Gregorio Aglipay y LAbay- en, who launched this remarkable re- 1igious craft, was born dfty-three years ago to-day, May 2. 1860, in the prov ince of Olocos Norte, L11zon, and was the son of a poverty-stricken farmer and tobacco planter. Ag1ipay inner tied his fathers scant acres at the age of sixteen, and, refusing to sub init to the exactions of the Spanish of hcials was imprisoned. After his re- lease he abandoned his farm and went to Manila, where he entered a. Domin- lean school, working as a servant to pay for his education. He was twen- ty-nine when he was ordained a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, and he continued in the duties of a parish priest until the American occupation. He was a friend and admtrer of Az uinaIdo, and cast in his lot with that dictator becoming one of the ablest of Aguina1do's guerilla leaders. Ag1f- pay was ex-communicated by the Archbishop, whereupon Dictator Az uinaIdo gave him the title of Vicar surrender of his chief, Aglipay grace fully gave in to the inevitable, and even aided MT.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The first charter of the city of Lon oon was granted by William on this date in the year 1079. This docu- ment, written dn Saxon on parch- ment' IS still preserved, and reads as follows: William the king greeteth William the bishop, and Godfrey the portreeve, and all the urgesses within London. friendly. And U acquaint you that I will that ye be all there 1aw-worthy as ye were in King Ed wards days. And will that every child be his fathers heir, after his fathers days. And I will not suffer that any man do you any wrong. God preserve you.'' The ''portreeveY re- ferred to was the chief officer of Lon don, the man signifying chief gover- nor of a harbor. Afterward the chief officer was called provost, and in the reign of Henry IT, the Norman title of maire, soon afterward changed to mayor, was brought into use. The first London official to hold the title of mayor was Henry Fitz-A1wyn, who assumed the office in 11S9 and contin- ued to hold it twenty-four years. The prefix of Lord was granted by Ed ward III in 1854.

SUGGESTS MURDER @oNtss1 y
ATLANTIC LINER.

BOSTON, Mass. July 25s--What
bears every indication OF being d muir
der at sea on one Of the trans.Atiantic
liners was brought to light today by
the finding OF the headless body OF ii
young woman floating between the
southeastern part OF Georges Bank
and Browns Bank. The grewsome dis
covery was made by the crew of tho
fishing schooner Jennie Gilbert, .un.
der command Of Capt. Charles White. i
The head had been severed from.the
trunk by means Of sharp instru.
ment, welded evidently by some one
familiar with surgery. The body was
that of well.cared for girl OF from 16,
to 20 years of age. 1t was clothed In
a black silk shirtwaist, black silk un.
derclothing, corsets OF an expensive
make. fine quality OF black silk stock.
ings. There was also remnant OF a
dark green skirt. Ssst
Attention OF Captain White was at
once attracted by the girls hands,
which were small and white. with the
nails tapering and manicured. They
were hands that had very evidently
never done any labor. The general
appearance of the body was that Of q
girl OF wealth.
The spot where the body was fonnd.
Captain White stated, Is directly In
the path Of transatlantic liners. It Is
the theory of the fishermen that the
young woman was passenger aboard
some ocean liner and was murdered,
her head cut off and the body thrown
into the sea. Hhe believes that the
girls head may have been thrown
overheard miles from the spot where
the body was found. &.
