They have been very sure, however, that we would not the pains to achieve good results, failures have been brought forward and made much of.

But at leant there is an much force of argument on the aide of those who believe to our capacity as on the side of those who disbelieve in it. It does not follow because of our shortcomings in some things, which the aati-expaa-sionlnto have dwelt on. that we are to hare the same shortcomings under new conditions. Because we have municipal corruption In places, because we have had a rascally Indian bureau, and rotten car-pet-bag governments. It does not follow that such corruption, rascality and rottenness are to be the stuff of which the governments of our new acquisitlone are to be made. We begin a new era. We confront new responsibilities, and the force of argument is fully as great with those who argue that, beginning a new era, we can begin It rightly and can call oh the nobility and purity that are In the American character, aa with those that think we shall begin it wrongly and call on the dishonesty and Incapacity that are developed in the workings of any and all institutions:

We are perfectly sure that Great Britain does not grow the man that can do work of this kind, or any other, for that matter, better than &n American can do It. By all accounts. General Ludlow seems to be one of the Americans. We trust that nothing will be required of him but results. He faces his work under circumstances calculated to get the best.

A FULL HOLIDAY.

A communication in The News Wednesday discussed the pertinent subject of holidays for employes. Many merchants require their employes to work part, if not all the day, that is supposed to be given as a holiday. On Christmas, New Year's, the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving Day, very many stores are open In the morning, thus giving the clerks only half of the day. If merchants would agree to close

on holidays, people would agree to make ^ells has rapidly deteriorated. The Pitts-

President will keep on giving us General Wood and General may hope for the winning of dvtl administration, which

Amarica and Americans are Just now more la need of than of any amount of

military glory.

Qm reason why the anti-expansionists have bad so little influence on the course of events is that they have ahown such a lack of faith to their country. In•taad of davoting themselves to the task that the acquisition of foreign would be bad for tha country, they have insisted that we were bound, to the nature of things, to make a mess of governing the new territory. They have been unable or unwilling to see that We have made any progress since the earpet-heg daya, and they have baaed their arguments on the theory that nothing whatever has been accomplished by the MvU service reformer*. The people resented the Imputation that the ■tatea oould not govern colonies waa something In the Amorand institutions which for this Government that seemed necessary for it American people have, aa they have always had. great faith to themselves and la their Government. When, therefore, the pessimists professed to see nothing but ruin ahead, their arguments tost much of their weight. We have failed to some things, aa every one knows, but we have succeeded brilliantly in other things On Che whole, our democratic experiment has justified itself. And to the new work to whteh we have been called we have almade an encouraging start. It to

their purchases beforehand. If is because shoppers have been taught that the stores are open hoUday mornings that they do not concern themselves to provide for their wants beforehand. It is a thoughtless selfishness but one that has been inculcated by the attitude of store-keepers. Let it be understood that the stores will be closed on the holiday, and paople will govern themselves accordingly. There Is particular reason why this effort should be made this year, for Christmas comes on Sunday. With the tendency for Sunday work this Sunday, at least the first half of it. Is likely to bt given up to work, because it is Christmas There to something particularly revolting in the Idea of profaning the celebration of the birthday of Christ with the greed of traffic. Shall It be done in this community, whete the moral standard is so high and lifib Is so dean? We suggest that the stores remain open until midnight, if need be, on Christmas eve. That, then, as Monday Is to be kept for holiday, they should remain closed until Tuesday morning. There should be rigid opposition, both by employee and people against open stores on Sunday morning, December 25. The opposition is due from the people, as well as from the employes — more, perhaps. Mrs. Henrotin, president of the Illinois Consumers’ League, has addressed to tha clergymen of Chicago a letter on what she calls tha "Scandal of Christmas Shopping,” to ha read to tha churches. She sets forth five simple rules, which she asks women shop* pers and shoppers generally to observe.

TfcMb

?. Shop early in the day. 1 Shop with a carefully classified list 1 Do no unnecessary shopping berm’s Christmas. * - .t ’ 4. Do not ask to have goods delivered the same day. 6. Refuse to receive goods delivered after 7 o’clock at night y The rules are so plain and simple that no explanation to needed, unices possibly concerning the last one. The force of this rule to to prevent storekeepers from working their delivery men far into the night Aside from this, U Is a good thing, ft is a great nuisance to have delivery wagons coming to a house at night So a little self-eatisfactlon may co-operate with the Impulse to do good, and it ought not to be too much to ask the public to oheerve these rules. ‘ • It Is not difficult In these days to get co-operation of any kind. There Is little difficulty In getting people generally to Unite for any rpeclflc purpose. There ought not to be difficulty In this enlightened community to get the women, the appeal is particularly to them, to observe these’rules. The observance would lighten to an almost Indescribable degree the labors of both employers and employes, of merchants and clerks of transfer and delivery wagone. It would simplify the whole system of shopping and make It more intelligent and satisfactory to all concerned. There seems to be a peculiar appropriateness that consideration of the kind asked for In these rules should come at Chrisunasttde — the holiday in commemoration of Him who went about doing good, who gave us the Golden Rule — the highest reach of humanity —to love our neighbor as ourselves, to do to others (as we would have them do to us! Let us add grace and beauty to this Christmas time by just a little effort to apply this

rule.

known, and the death list has been greater, and there has not been a meeting of me prison board without applications being made for the transfer of some unfortunate to the insane asylum. "In order to prevent suicides by the wholesale it was necessary to keep a large number of the men who were not allowed to work under the closest surveillance constantly.” As a partial remedy the warden Is using one of the abandoned workshops as a recreation room, and there the idle convicts are, for two or three hours each day, allowed to walk or read. The experience of Pennsylvania Is not unique. Other States which have, In response to a demand from organized labor,, passed laws forbidding contract labor in the prisons have had a similar experience. In a slight 3egree we have had It in Indiana. The problem of employment for several hundred convlcta is a serious one, and the best thought of the country is engaged In trying to find a satisfactory solution. The best plan so far developed is that ;n force in New York.

If the President is understood aright, he will veto all force bills to the future. Tbe Spaniards will take our moQMQO; they have served notice that they do not want our prayers.

Mr. Bryan seems to have established headquarters near the national Capitol. The appointment of General Ludlow to be military governor of Havana la excellent. Moreover, it ta aa appointment not tor reward of services la the war. which, indeed, were not particularly brilliant, but because of particular fitness tor the work to be done. General Ludlow is a West Point man and a lieutenantcolonel In the regular army. At one time he waa one of the commiasloners of the District of Columbia; and so he knows practically about sanitary and engineering -problems. Hto'todmlntetrauon In Wanking ton was a great success. He ako has a fine reputation as an engineer. His able report on the Nicaragua canal routes was one of the greatest contributions to that controversy. He has before him a tremendous opportunity. More power to his arm, if need be, although aa mili tary governor of Havana it would seem that all power that were necessary had been given him. But his position Is conspicuous. He will be the observed of all observers. Spaniards and Cubans, the foreign colonies of all nations and foreign newspaper oorrespondents will be "on the spot" to serutlntns his admtnietration at every turn. Moreover, he has for hie field a erty that needs almost everything. It to vtetually a city of the sixteenth century, and the problem to how to make It one of the nineteenth and of the end of the nineteenth aentury.

The last faint trace of Mason and Dixon's line was erased in Atlanta yester-

day.

A street-lighting trust Is on foot which Is to take in all cities east of the Mississippi. Luckily, with our Einck anti-trust law, it can't get us. The county commissioners and their attorney are perplexed about tha coal contract If we have competition, they say, the present price wtli be greatly increased; If we do not have competition the present contract may be extended a year longer at the same price; ergo, we must extend the present contract If the company having the present contract can afford to extend It to cover next year, at the same price, why may ft not bid thus at a competitive letting? It Is, Indeed, a mighty strain to give a reason for avoiding competition. Senator Morgan, evidently, has constituted himself the special champion of the Nicaragua canal bill. Now, If Senator Foraker will give public indorsement to President McKinley's Atlanta speech, no shadow of doubt will remain that the fraternal union of the North and South has been established. Why is not Mr. Bryan prompting Democratic members about free silver? ‘■■ i e ■ '■ City Comptroller Johnson refunded SUO.000 of bonds yesterday and made 17,800 for the city. This to about the time the county commissioners ought to be refunding the county temporary Indebtedness, but they will not. Why? Not because there is none for there Is still 1905,000 unpaid, but "because the wise and economical commissioners last June made an “emergency" loan for a year. A year-think of It! And the loan was let without competition and at 8 per cent. Interest! The county is wasted while the city is building up economical method*. The excess of exports over Imports for the five months of the fiscal year is over L™,000.000. Pessimists have been crowded under the stage. The Hon. Tom Platt should not take for a senatorial colleague anybody who will monopolize the calcium light. Russian greed Is visible In the threatened disruption of the compact which binds Sweden and Norway under one king. The crisis of 1896 and the recent decision of Norway to wipe out the emblem of the union from her flag are straws showing which way the wind Wows. Norway could not hope to secede from the union without outside aid. Although in recent years she has added greatly to her military strength, she Is still far Inferior to Sweden. With her regular army of 25,000 men and her home guard she has an effective fighting force of 43,000 men; against this Sweden can put a force of 105,000 men. In the navie* of the two countries there is the same disparity Norway has a total of fifty vessels, two battleships: Sweden has a total of sixty-nine vessels, six of which are battleships. On sea and land, therefore. Sweden outclasses her dissatisfied partner, and she to in a position to enforce her will unless Norway gets help. It to an open secret that Russia has been soaking advances to Norway, hoping to* secure an Ice-free port south of Archangel and Kola on Norwegian territory.Such a port would furnish Russia with a western terminus for her great railroad which would thus extend without break from tha west of Europe to the east of Asia. It Is thought that the present aggressiveness of Norway to due to the fact that Russia has promised to aid her to the event of a rupture with Sweden. It to certain that the present status of Norway and Sweden can not long continue. and it to equally certain that Russia’s interference to anything but a guarantee of peace. Norway should *emember the fate of Finland before seeking aid from “Adam-Zad." At least the American Federation of Labor will hold expansion guilty until it can be proved innocent, .

Unspoken. While the river flows to the ocean. It has many a word to say; It linsere by deep and shallow. It loiters and laa*ha the way. Now sighing above the pebbles. Now staging by blocaoms gay; Thro’ shining and showers, and the Mowing of flowers. The river will have its say. But near to the deep sea drawing. With Its great pulse beating slow. The voice of the river falters. The tones of the tide sink low. The prattle of laughter changes To murmurs of breathless rest, _ And with white arms wide to the wondrous tide. It sinks In the ocean’s breast! And Jove 1ms the life of the river. Many-voiced when the stream is young. While over the shallowest spaces. The loudest of songs are sung. And love’s silent, too, as the river. Finding never a word to say. When the infinite deep tays forever asleep The babble of yesterday! So it Is that I sing no greeting To thee I have loved so long; Did I love you less it were easy To tell ai! my heart in eeng. Forgive that it fails and falters This voice, by the great love-sea;— I reach thee a hand, dear one, as I stand AH dumb on the shore with thee! —From poems by Jennings Carmichael. At Last. What will you give me, O World! O, World! If I run in the race and win? Will you give me a fame that can never fade. Will you give me a crown that will never rust. Can you save my soul from the pall of sin. Can you keep my heart from the dust? What will you give me. O, Earth! O, Earth! If I fight in the fra/ and win? More than you gave those kings, who lay Age* paat in forgotten clay? Can you give me more than the grave shuts tn. Or the years can bear away? Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Fame will fade and crowns will rust. Give me, O, Earth, but your true embrace. When the battle is lost or won. Hide me away from the day’s white face. From the eye of the dazzling sun. So I may lay my head on your breast. Forget the struggle and be at rest: Forget the laurels that fade away. The love that lasts but a wild, brief day; Forget It all, on your bosom pressed, Forever at rest—at rest! —Albion Fellows Bacon.

“SCRAPS.” Prussia has 541 high schools for boys. The German army contains 10,000 musicians. * Only one man in 203 is over six feet in hight. There are three newsy little American papers in Manila. There are forty-seven Chinese temples In the United States. Visitor to artist’s studio—“1 do think sculpture is so much more interesting than art!"—Truth. A large tom-cat for thirteen years made voyages on a mall steamer between Sydney and San Francisco. The animal has died, and was buried at sea, having almost completed 1,000,000 miles of travel. This story Is told of Commissioner Peck, during his recent visit in Paris; “Like all Americans, he was not to be put out by trifles. One night an excited bellboy woke him by crying that the ho-el was on fire. ‘How near is it?’ be w.is asked. Tn this corridor, monsieur, at No. 15.’ ’Well, this room’s No. 40; call me again when the fire gets to 38.’ ” The number of acres of sugar beets under cultivation in the European countries during the year 1898-’99 was 3,568,322, as compared with 3,749,151 the preceding year. The estimated production for the year is 4,385,000 tons, a falling off, as compared with the preceding year of 375,000 tons. Germany leads. With an acreage of 1,054,229 and an output of 1,847,000 tons. Water-logged nail-brushes may now be a thing of the past. The simple expedient has been resorted to by some manufacturer of perforating the back with rather large-sized holes, through which the water runs as the brush is used. It Is a wonder that so simple a remedy for soaked and quickly spoiled bristles has not been thought of before.—New Yerk

Samuel Untermyer, of New' York, is greatly elated over the fact that his $2,000 trotting horse, which ran away In the New York streets, and tore up and down, in and out among the crowded traffic and high snow-banks on Fifth avenue, chased for a good deal of the distance by a cab, never brokfe out of a trot, and went sometimes at a 2:20 clip without driver or guiding rein.

Marian, four years old, Is a cunning little ML Vernon girl, who attends the Methodist Sunday-school. Not long since the golden text of the week chanced to be the verse from Matthew, commencing "Let your light so shine." When Sunday came the little maid trotted off to Sun-day-school with her older brothers and sisters, and when the teacher asked her for the "golden text," she promptly slid from her seat and convulsed the class by repeating gravely: “Keep your gas burnJames Beatty, an old Crimean veteran, who died in England the other day, was known in the service by the sobriquet of "Whip and Spurs.” It was an incident at Inkerroan that gave him his name; for it was he who was responsible for saving the only gun saved by his battery at that fight. "Whip and spurs, boys; whip and spurs; and we 11 save the gun!" be cried out when he and his comrades were surrounded. He was twice wounded In the tussle, but they saved the gun: and Beatty was “Whip and Spurs” from that

day.

If there be any at this late day who still doubt that Dewey is a name to conjure with, here is the latest fact they must explain away: In the rooms of the Hardware Club, on the top floor of the Postal Telegraph Building, hangs a picture of the redoubtable Vermont admiral. It is the only article in the room that was not destroyed or damaged by the fire on Sunday night. The window frames, the furniture, the hangings and the other pictures all suffered severely, but Admiral Dewey’s icture is still as clean and fresh as on the y It was hung.—New York Tribuna Brown lived between Gray and Green. Green was as Qijiet a neighbor as you could wish to have; and so was Gray, for that matter, but he had a barking dog that was the torment of Brown’s life. One day in his desperation he told Gray that If he would get rid of the dog he would give nim $5. "All right.” said Gray; “I’ll do It.” Meeting Gray down town that Afternoon, Brown asked: "Have you done what you agreed to do and got rid of that dog?” Gray—Yes, I’ve got rid of him. Brown—Thank goodness! Now I shall sleep nights. By the way, what did you do with him? Gray—I sold him to Green. He gave me $3 for him. Not so bad, eh?—Bos-

The discovery of methods of producing very low temperatures has stimulated research into the properties of substances when in such a condition. In the case of metals, then* resistivity has been found to decrease considerably with a lowered temperature, and, more recently experiments have been tried to determine the value of their specific heat under a like cir- j cumstanoe. The method of mixtures has been used and the metal cooled by immersion In liquid air. The results show that : the specific heat diminishes with the temperature, and some experimenters believe that near the absolute aero the value oi the specific heat of all material* would be the same, a very small quantity, and probably zero.—New York Poet.
