ft Is the testimony of all who were
present upon this occasion in the cap
acity of reporters that the president
epol:o with unusual and almost over
mastering emotion: that till the lnt
nianlty and stood, will in Ills nature rose
to his aid lb Klvintt the stamp of sin
cerity and emphasis to bis feelintt ref
erences, to the Confederate dead, mill
that the welcome accorded to the sen
timents, thus expressed was epochal In
Us sittnllleancc.
And why not? Is It not true that the
Anieiiean people have by the last war
been baptized into a new birth which
opens ui new relations, new oppor
tunities, new responsibilities, new is
sues? If theie was before that time
any reason or any imagined reason for
a Southerner to feel a less direct and
personal interest in the affairs of the
federal government than a Northerner
would feel; it the temptation there
fore had been In certain localities to
abstain from public activity outside the
field of local anil state polities nnd to
affect u. disinterested and a. critical
point of view concerning affairs of na
tional administration, surely such con
ditions nro now gone, forever. Ther''1
is absolutely no visible or tnnplhlo line
of separation and there can be no ten
able supposition of one between North
nnd South when veteran soldiers and
their sons from both sections are serv
ing alongside, In the same uniform, for
the same Hag, eiiual In patriotism, In
lierolsni, and In the common affections
of the people.
The president has repeatedly claimed
as the greatest glory of the war with
Spain that for the first time in Ameri
can history It made our country truly
one nnd indivisible. Ills Atlanta speech
nnd reception are pimply a corrobora
tion. It Is said a combination is formin?
In the senate to defeat the expected
nomination of Hear Admiral Sampson
to be vice admiral. Tlioro who are
fanning It will gain wisdom with ex
perience. That North Scrantou Pave.
In the nrmory, North Scrantou, n
meotlmr will bo held tonight which has
as one of Its objects the quickening of
public sentiment concerning the neees
nity of paving North Mnln avenue and
Providence road. There Is no (infer
ence of opinion about the necessity .if
this Improvement. Everybody Is agiecd
that a puve ought to be laid and the
obstacles In the past have nil been with
reference to the steps lending up to
the laying of the pave.
If tonight's meeting shall result in
the adoption of a plan that will secure
the early laying of n durable pave on
the thoroughfares in question the pro
meters of It will hnve done a. great
public service. The pioposod Improve
ment Is of Interest to the people of the"
city generally. It is more than a local
measure from the fact that North Main
avenue and Providence road constitute
one of the main arteries of the city.
The Democratic meeting in Harris
burg Wednesday was a large sized fiz
zle and the Independent Heiiubllcaus
who pin their giievuncew nnd general
mugwumpcry to that disorganized ele
ment In state politics will find them
selves In nu extensive hole. There Is
no coheslveness to the body of Dem
ocrats that met and resolved various
weird resolutions on this occasion. It
won a house decidedly divided against
Itself. To Illustrate the truth of this
statement It may be remarked that
while the meeting, was In progress
twenty or more of those usually dubbed
"the faithful" were nt the Bolton House
placidly enjoying their noontide meal
and were evidently unconsidered In
the dellbcratlems, being therefore In
no way obligated by the lesohilloiia
passed by their political brethren. Tin
uttompt to give significance to the pub
lished ultimatum of such a ridiculous
meeting as that of Wednesday should
cause true Jleptiblteuns little concern.
The oillclul hospitality extended M
the American peace coinmlsslonois nt
l'arls was nil right, but the tinolllrl.il
hospitality was not of stilllclent effu
siveness to attract much attention. 11
will probably be useless for this coun
try to spend much time in the endeav
or to gain the good will of either France
or Cermnny until vvhlte-wlngcil pence
shall have hovered over us for suvcr.it
seasons. But It doesn't niattci a great
deal.
The Asphnlt Hepnlr Question.
So much has been said In one i; tile
evening papers about the recent award
to the Barber eompany for repairing
the nsphnll and this has been si:jib
inente'd by so many threats nnd
charges thai u cold resort to figures
may go a good way to puncture these
misrepresentations and show how far
from correct er Just they are. There
wen several bids. The Barber com
pany bid was n bulk annual amount as
called for In the ordinance; the olliei'.i
by the yard, as called for In the spec
ifications. The former's bid wus MT.r.'O
annually; the lowest bid by the y.itd
was by the Aleutian company nt "lev Ml
and one half cents. Following Is the
result of figuring on the nsphnll otit
of bond, taken from the tecords in the
city engineer's olllee:

Thus It would appear that If conn
ells had awarded tin contract to the
Aleatraz company on the ple.i that
they bid by the yard according to the
specifications, they would In four short
years have laid the city under a liabil
ity of tlSI.Olin in excess of the bid of
the Barber e-ompnny. That the con
tract runs for ten years gives one an
lelen of the huge amount It would be
then. .
Buncombe Is one thing, facts are :ii:
other. As to the wisdom of giving (he
contract to tiny company, people may
differ, but it is clear the Barber com
pany were by far the lowest billert-.
Vnless some magazine asks Colonel
Bryan to write an article) on his war
experience', it will haves to be consider
ed a failure.
Roosevelt's Rough Riding.
Colonel Boosevelt is finding out that
his way is still somewhat rough but he
does not illneh. The "organization"
wants to name his choice for commis
sioner of public workp. under whose
supei vision the probing of the canal
frauds will come. It has picked out ex
Collector Francis Hendricks, of Syra
cuse, an eild-time politician, whoso In
tegrity is everywhere conceded, but
who has occupied such friendly rela
tions in the past with some of the men
likely to come under suspicion during
the canal investigation that, however
just and Inflexible he might be as u
prosecutor, there could hardly fall to ho
a wagging of tongues. In behalf of Mr.
Hendricks It is urged that his county
gave Boosevelt a tremendous plurality,
but this representation does not seem
to meet all of the governor-elect's re
quirement. He Is reported to have
said; "I want a e'ommlssloner of pub
lic works who will put the knife into
dishonest canal contractors, and if th"
man I select docs not put the knife Into
dishonest contractors, Republicans and
Democrats. I will put the knife into
him."
For the reasons we have mentioned
Colonel Boosevelt does not appear to
enthue over the suggestion of Mr.
Hendricks, and Is casting ubout for an
engineer of high professional standing
and unlmpiMchable character who has
not been conspicuously active in politi
cal intrigue: and manipulation. He has
offered the pluce successively to a num
ber of men of this kind and they have
one by one declined, very likely fop the
lensoii that it will be a thankless task
entailing bitter enmities, abuse, mis
representation and suspicion as well an
the hardest kind of hard work. Tims it
may happen that Colonel Boosevelt
will, after all, have to fall back on
Hendricks in default of a man less
prominently Identified with factional
party politics: hut he will not do so be.
cause of any weakening In his profes
slons of Intended thoroughness, of In
vestigation and reform but simply be
cause better fitted men will not accept
his cull to an exacting public duty. If
this should lie tils experience It would
not be the first of Its kind in American
public affairs. Very often those so
called "better citizens" who are the
loudest In criticism und complaint ut
the way things arc run are the last to
niitko uuv serious sacrifice In the at
tempt to bring about genuine Improve
ment. Charles T. Yerkes, tho Chicago street
railway magnate, openly charges the
leading newspapers of that city with
trying to blackmail him and dares their
proprietors to sue him for slander. U
Is only fnlr to say on the other side
that ho didn't bring these charges un
til tho editors In question had con
victed him, beforo .public opinion at
least, of having boodled n state legis
lature und a pun of the Chicago coun-
ell nnd of having tried, under cover of
law, to consummate n mint nudnclou
grab of public privileges, Whatever
their motives, It will hnvu to bo con
ceded that the Chicago editors nre
broiling Yeikes to a crisp, which Is
doubtless the secret of bis finical.
The Cubnn Army of Occupation,
The recommendation of the Cuban
evacuation commission that K0.000 sol
diers be held In readiness for occupa
tion service In Cuba Is explained by
Adjutant Central Cm bin In this man
ner: "it must be borne In mind tbat
tin army In time of peace Is like Insur
ance. It Is a preparation for un emer
gency. You ennnot view conditions in
Culm ns you can in Ohio or I'ennsyt
vnlu. For 100 years the peoplu th)j
have been uncustomed to be ruled by
force. The officers there fear that with
these conditions nnd linblts If troips
aii not there trouble may occur."
As u matter of coiumon sense (It Is
always better to have a surplus of re
sources than a deficit. H Is argue by
Ceneral Wade, the chairman of tnr.
evacuation commission, that for th'-en
years In the neighborhood of a quar
ter of a million Spaniards and Cubans
have been ciurylng arms in Cuba,
100,000 of whom will be left on the isl
and after the Spanish soldiers nnd
olllclals depart. The problem of con
verting these 100,000 non-produotlve
menaces to public order into peaceful
citizens, habituated to Industry and
thrift, not to speak of the compli
cating circumstances of race hatred, in
herited fueds und the Inevitable fric
tions growing out of reconstruction
impresses the military mind ns being
vo serious nnd so full ef ominous pos
sibilities that a great army to be kept
continually at linnd as a reserve force
for use In a sudden emergency, is
viewed as a necessity, und probably
it Is. At all events, It will be true econ
omy to have strength enough from tlio
beginning to leave no doubt unioiig
the evilly-disposed of out Ime'itlon to
cr.fcree law, order and uniform r?pcot
oT civic rights.
Yet it Is possible that the bad blood
engendered by Spain's last days in
CitPit has caused in American ollkicl
clitics an exaggerated view of the dil'.l
cultles confronting us in that Islan 1.
We cannot believe that the mass of
the Cuban people, ufter the misery and
privations they have undergone dur
ing the last few years, will be quar
relsome or elangerous after the Hag or
Spain, which Is the emblem of their
suffering, hns been limited down, nor
that the Spaniards remaining on the
Island will lie so undiplomatic and ncci
slghted as to undertake to keep up
the old antagonisms, under whien Cu
ban retaliation would be Incviiable.
Possibly the picture Is being overdrawn
for a purpose.
(Jldeon Jlarsh, the wrecker of the
Keystone bank now under a twelve
year sentence, exonerates John Wan
nmaker from guilty complicity in that
crime. AVe gladly give Mr. Wana
maker the boneilt of -Marsh's certificate
of character. He has enough to an
swer for without being accued un
fphiv. It begins to look as though the hone:?
of Columbus would prove an elephant
on the hands of General Blanco.
NEWS AND COMMENT
The civilization of the Klondike icglon
lias not yet reached the stage of regular
churches, bul Satan is busy there, day
and night. Says a writi r In the Spokauo
Chronicle: "At present lluio are three
variety theaters in Dawson City. One
of these Is tho better class. The other
two are low dives of the foulest debet Ip
tion. The best theater Is a high two
slory frame stiucture, although the en
trance to it is through a one-story log
house. This entrance building Is used as
a barroom, bars extending along both
sides of it. The drinks as these bars are
sold at tho rat" of ! cents each, or tnree
for $1. At this iirlco they nro not only
sold nt the bar. but also by the walteis
on the first lloor of the theater. The pay
ment for drinks Is almost entirely in gold
dust, scales being kept upon the liar to
weigh out the dust. At tho bar ailmlssion
tickets to thu theater are sold at the rate
of $1 each. These entitle the holder to
either enter the lower lloor or the cheater
or to pass upstairs. The entrance to the
lower floor is through a door opposite the
entrance to the barroom, while access to
the upper lloor is gained by climbing a
stairway leading from one side of tho
barroom. Thu second floor is iirrnng d
with o balcony projecting out from the
sides of tho building over tho lower lloor.
The outer edge of this balcony Is lined
with boxes. Along Hie sides nnd next to
the walls of tho theater Hie two long
bars. It is an expensive proposition for a
man to go upstairs in this theater. To se
1'iiro a seat in ouo of Hie boxes it is nec
essary to buy a drink for one of tho wo
men of the house. This first drink nlvvays
costs t tho price of tho box thus being
collected by means of tho Initial drink.
After the beginuli g drinks nre sold at the
rate, of r,0 rents each. No bottled liquors
of any kind nre sold In the theater, every
thing being by the glass. Champagne is
practically unknown, fleer Is also scar:.
The most common drink is a villainous
mixture of clarei, which soon onuses in
toxication of tho mot lurid character.
Tho women mostly drink this nnd soda
water, but whisky and other common
drinks nro also sold. Tho women receive
Si) per cent, commission on nil drinks sold
by them. This rulo Includes the .') paid
lor the hex. In addition to their com
mission they receive IS a week salary
from the house. Tho salaries paid tho
performers are also good, ranging from
JM to $100 a week, and even exceeding
Hie latter figure."
Tho intellectual pastime In Havana,
writes a Chicago correspondent, s chess.
Chess Is played ut all the chins exten
sively and nearly all business and profes
sional men nro devoted to tho game.
There are several chess dubs, nnd some
of them have players with world-wide
reputations. Some of the international
chess champions havo played heio and al.
most all of tho great professionals nro
known and their play understood. It s
easy to get large subscriptions to secure
tho preseneo of a famous chess player
from abroad. The last of the bull-lighting
piobably has been done in Havana.
During the war tho bulls were ull eaten.
After the raising of tho blockndo the pro.
Ject of importing bulls from Mexico was
discussed, but was finally abandoned.
Now It seems llkelv that before any bulls
can bo provided the pastlmo will bo for
bidden. The natives expect to see their
bull-fighting abolished as a matter of
course, and there probably will bo no pro.
test. Tho Intelligent Spaniards under
stand that the I'nlted States will not tol
erate tho pastime.
The annual rcucrt of General Duinont,

their lives from nil causes, which Is an
average of about 1 In 7,733,000. The num.

makes a total of sax, or exuetly 100 more

This little war toinanec Is culled trom
tin Washington correspondence of the
Sun: "An order was sent by cable today
to Major General Otis at Manila for Hie
dlschargo of Kvercsto de Montnlos, of
llattery B, First Utah artillery. UC Mon
lidos is a young Cuban millionaire, n
member of one of Hie richest families in
the Island, and ho Is wanted at home.
Through tho representations of Ills father
and those who have his Interests nt heart
his discharge was secured. Ills father
owns extensive sugar plantations nmr
Clenfuegos, which havo been idle since the
war began. The young artilleryman wus
hlsfather's man of affairs down there, and
now that the plantations me about to
resume operations, lie Is wanted to take
hold of things. But another and more
important reason why the wur depart
ment directed his discharge was that, ac
cording to representations to thu depart
ment, relatives of the young man nro
attempting to euchre him out of his share
of the estate, and he is nceeled at home to
look after his own Interests. Do Montnlos
happened to bo in a western city in this
country when the president culled for vol
unteers. A place In the I'tah nrtllleiy
was tho first thing that presented itself,
so he enlisted. Then he was heat to the
Philippines instead of to Cuba. He- 1ms
been tho interpreter at the headquailers
of General Otis."
NOTES FROM SANTIAGO.

A CITY OF DESTINY.
From tho New York Sun.
Bxpnusinn is a necessity for the Ameri
can laborer and farmer as for the Amer
ican merchant nnd manufacturer. The
soil andtho factories produce more than
can be consumed ut home. The foreign
markets must bo reached. Manila is des
tined to become Hi' great disti Uniting
center of a great American commerce.
HOW THE POPE EEELS.
Rome Better in the Sim.
Tho Vatican has been worried by the
hostile feeling of some members 'of the
Cuban government, but it lias faith that
tho sentiments of equity nnd thu great
political sense of the Americans will cause
thu common law, liberty and toleration to
prevail over designs of hostility and ideas
of sequestrating ecclesiastical properly.
THE OPEN BIBLE.
From the Philadelphia Press.
In connection with the "open door" In
the Philippines, there will also come an
open Bible, something that will bo quite
as much of n noelty to the unlives as
free commercial opportunity will bo to the
nations.
