Superintendent Howell's Repot t.
The annual report of Superintendent
Howell upon the condition of the city
schools, which appears elsewhere, mer
its perusal in both substance and man
ner. Without dilation, It puts the situ
ation In due perspective and touches
with special emphasis upon special
needs.
The teferences to what have been
done In culture of the sensibilities by
the use of music, pictures and llowers
In the school room and in the enlisting
of motheis' Inteiest aie not the least
Impoitant feattues of the tepott. We
dare suy that weie Supeiintendent
Howell called upon to elaborate his
Ideas In this diiectlon a valuable chap
ter could be contributed to public In
formation. It Is In the ethical and aes
thetic Influences with which the schools
sui round the pupils ciulte as much as
In the evict knowledge Imparted or
the set fonrts of Instruction observed;
that they have political value as nur
series of good citizenship; nnd we note
with pleasute the start which has been
made along these lines In the schools
of Huntiton.
Of kindled Inteiest Is the resume of
progress achieved In the pupils' saving
fund. With the hlstoiy of its Inception
our readeis ate familiar, but it Is gratl
f)ing to know that eight of our schools
now hae the savings system In oper
ation with a total deposit of $950. Here
is the germ of a lai,j;t development In
the Inculcation of habits of tin If t and
ft ugallt) habits quite as valuable to
the community as is a knowledge of
the laws of giammat oi the Intilcacies
of i-ube toot
Altogether the icpuit pt educes an cu
tout aging Impression and shows that
the management of school affalis on
their ciliicttiou.il side Is not going for
ward without a well-defined put pose In
view.

Koosevelt's Valuable Object Lesson.
A valuable lesson It derivable from
the position which Hon. Theodor"
Roosevelt has taken in the canvass for
the Republican guhernatoilnl nomina
tion In New Yolk state. No citizen o'f
the United States stands higher than
he foi personal Integrity and moral as
well as ph)slcal coutage. He Is, In
these tespects, an ideal t)pp and moie
ovei he Is a livin of large and varied
expel lence both as n law -maker and a
l.tvv-enforcei. He nevei "woie a col
lat" or "cringed to a boss',' or did tiny
of the things th.it the piofesslonnl
tefoimeis aie fond of holding up to
leptobatlon. jot when a gio'ip of citi
zens repiesentlng chlellv a, dissatisfied
element In the Republican patty sim
ilar In many wa)s to the element In
this state Identltletl polllitull) with
John Wanamnker met without his so
licitation and nominated him at the
head of an independent ticket he
pioinptly cilled on the leadeis ot the
regular Republican pait) otganlatlnn
and lnfoimecl them that he would ac
cept no nomination which did not come
fiom Republicans as Republicans and
cany with It cut dial ii.doisoment of his
associates on the Republican ticket.
This assutanee was oluntaty on the
part of Colonel Roosevelt and, ns he
has since explained, was dictated by
two consldeintions of high Importance
In th" tltst place, inasmuch as the leg
islatuio to be elected In New Yotk
stat j In Novembet is to choose a rep
resentative in the United Stftes senate
In place of Senator Muiphy he could
not as a Republican on national Is
sues encourage a multiplication of leg
islative tickets that would put in
jeopauly the opportunity to win the
senatoishlp for the Republican party,
unci, secondly, If elected governor he
would want at his back .it Albany a
Republican legislative majority which
would lend Its suppoit and the suppoit
of the Republican oiganlratlon to his
executive policy. This position takes
cognizance of the fact that one of tho
two gieal political oiganizatlons will
lnltnbly gain control of public nffalit;
and that the diversion of Republican
votes to an Independent or a Puelon
ticket Is Jut so much aid extended to
the Democracy.
Colonel Roosevelt's example bears di
rectly upon the political situation In
Pennsylvania since It wains the Re
publicans of this state that they, too,
must fatand firmly by their patty. The
Republican vote thrown to Dr. Swal
low oi to a Wanamnker fusion candi
date for the legislature is a oto
thrown eontiaty to the best Interests
of the Itepubllcan party and wasted so
far ns ptactlcal tesults aie concerned.
Tho time for those who wish to Insti
tute changes In the Republican party
management to make their put pose ef
fective Is at the party primaries and
in tho pail) conventions, righting
outside of pmty lines Is helpful onl)
to the Democracy, and it would be far
mote manly for those who Indulge lr.
It to go all the way over Into the Dem
ociatlc camp and take their place
boldly under the Democratic banner
than to engage in guerrilla watfaie be
tween the Hues while still professing
to be Republicans
who fought bravely At Manila bay as
long as ho hud a ship loft, has made
Augustlit a little uncertain as to what
his wtlcomo will be when ho reaches
the locality where scapegoats are In
demand. It Is ptobablc that before
many weeks Augustln will be convinced
that the "Inst ditch" at Manila was
n safer place, for him than Madrid,
It Is Interesting to note Hint Dr.
Swallow's paper so far hedges In Us
defense of scandal In politics as to ad
mit that rlvul candidates ought not per
sonally to blackguard nnd defame each
other. That paper, however, still holds
that the peddling of scandal in a.
candidate's behalf Is proper provided
he doesn't do It hlmsplf. In other
wot ds, while a doctor of divinity ought
not, vv hen seeking public office, to use
sewer sweepings against an adversary
the use of them Is nil right on the part
of his undci strappers. The rctteat Is
not veiy ninstetly, nevtttheless It Is a
tetreut. Our contempniar) has our
sympathy.
The nomination of Hon M. F. Sando
for cotiBtcss by Hip Lackawanna Demo
crntlc committee Insuics a contest In
this district which will duubtloRs grow
In Interest as the campaign advances.
On the eve of it The Tribune desires to
expiess Its Biatlflealloti that the nomi
nee whom It will oppose Is to be a
gentleman pel sunnily so amiable and
accomplished AVe assume that Mr.
Sando's nomination assuies a clean and
mi honorable campaign testing not up
on personalities but on political nigu
inent. On this footing we are toady to
give or take.
With Its best pationnge )et to come,
the Omaha exposition Is now $15,000
uhcad of all expenses and Is giving the
Bi ?atcst show of its kind that the peo
ple west of the .Mississippi river have
ever sen. This speaks well for the
piospcilty of n people Just enieiglng
trom a fotelgn wai.
The new nichblshop of Santiago, Rt.
Rev. Louis Musteliei, Is a native Cu
ban whom Spain for many )eais forced
Into exile. His designation for this
Important ecclesiastical post is an In
teresting indication of the Vatican's
quickness to meet changing condi
tions'. Colonel Roosevelt sas he does not
believe much In the lasting qualities of
Independent political movements. He
Is not alone in this opinion.
The Due d' Oilcans does not seem
to tealUe the danger liuuried In at
tempting to handle the live wires in
the Dieyfus case.

Tlio original purpose of tho administra

but In spile of It, American ulnr, In-

war In four mouths to complete victory,
and with a telntivc lofs small almost be

Tor the twelve months which came to
an end with thu close of last month our
exports amjunted to H.LMCCQO.IMU about
four millions of dollais for every work
ing day In tho year. Part of this unpar
ulleled Increase was due to the enor
mous volume of bicadstulfs sent abioad
to teed tho millions ot Eutopc, but not
all. Practically one-quarter of tho whole
was in manufactured goods pioduced in
American fuctorlcs by skilled American
workmen
Ten yeais ngo the man who pirdictcil
that beforo tho closn of tho eeiitui) the
I'nltcd States would be exporting Us
manufactured pioducts at tho lute or

Yet this Is precisely whut mis happened
Better still, thero Is ovciy reason to be
