Humor credits Oeiierftl Urook" with Intending to i-ohIkii hlx eommund in Cubu and minor has ulno picked ou' ns Hrooke's miecppHor Major Oenerul AVude, now presldenl of the Reef court of Inquiry A'li"tlu't tumor In tlilH case Iiiim any smbsinnee behind It we do not pt!iftR to know, but if necessity should raiiK- till- aplioiiitmeni of a new Gov ernor (jcnnrnl of Cuba the American people and tw Cuban lieople would both be pleased to see an exemplifica tion nf the merit system by the pro motion to this otllci- of Urlgadlu Oeneral l.'innvil Wood. it Ih true Unit Wood, two years aao, was only an army surseon with a cap tain's nmk aril that his subsequent elevatloii lias excited jealousies 1n the army which would not be nhsuaced If this vntiux man should Ki't u promo tion that would i arty him over the head of n host if military seniors Into the most ennsi'lcuous billet at nresent in tlie American army service. It Is true that lietieral Wade is In point of seniority next in line after Hrooke and lhat It senioiity were the principal qualification required in a Roveinor peneral of Cuba lie would have the call over Wood. Hut It is also true, if we may credit th" unvarying testimony from SanlhiKo. that Wood lias shown a lltiv's for the varied requirements of the Kinernor-Keneralslilp unexcelled by iiny weaier of the Ameilcan uni form and that his promotion from Snn tlaKo province to Havana .would Inins about wood results mote readily and at less expense than could be accomplished through any other appointment. He has the eonlidelice of the native ele ments mnir completely than any other American: he knows the local condi tions better: be has a superior per sonal eneiRy and executive capacity: In short, be Is pre-eminently the man for the place; and such a man should have the place, contrary precedents notwithstanding. There Is a reason for this entirely apart from Cuban matters. Heretofore army administration, from the burcnus at headouarters all the way down On line, has been conducted upon rules of seniority and precedent under condi tions as to led tape which showed tip in sorry results when put to the test of sudden emergency. The swift pro motion of a man like Wood, not through pull but as a direct consequence of conspicuous merit, would be a timely harbinger of a better milltury regime. "Wood's fame is made, whether he gets further honors or not; but the Ameri can people owe It to themselves to put servants like Wood in their proper positions, as a demonstration before the world of their own high capability of self-government. JolmWnnaniaker's ui.happlne:-s these days at the frightful corruption of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania Is powerfully affecting, especially In view of the commonwealth's strange per versity in declining to purchase John's good opinion by submitting Itself to his dictation. Municipal Light Plants. Cnder tills heading the periodical, ity Government, recently printed an article by SI. .1. Francisco, president of the National Electric Light associa tion, which contains- some figures wor thy of public stud. The state of Mas sachusetts has a gas and electric light eoiiimlsMun whose duty It is to examine at least once each yeat the plant and accounts of everv electric lighting es tablishment In the state. Under the law all electric companies in SInssa chusetts must report In detail to this commission. In the last report of the hoard (Slanh, lk'J on p-ige ,"m appear nn itemized statement of the expenses of nil the municipal plants in the state, the total amount of such expenses being Jll'J.ifil.SS for the year. Deduct ing from these expenses the total re ceipts, as given in tills report, for com mercial arc, Incandescent and domes tie lights, elertile power, meters anil nil other souiccs, amounting to $32 lOfi.lU, it leaves a balance of expense over receipts of $70,l."i5."S for the year us operating expenses. To this the commissioners add the interest on bonds and notes outstanding, as found by the books of the various plants, amounting to $25,935.88, and for depre ciation, $39,777.15; also losses on Job bing, $273,64, running tho nut cost to those municipalities ?13t!,lfi2.43 per year. They operate !S5 are lights of J.'jno candle power and 2,173 incandescent averaging 27 candle power per lamp; converting these Incandtscents Into arcs we have IS arcs of 1,200 caudle power, making total number of street lamps used 1,'JLi'J. Therefore, the yearly cost of 1,033 aic lights belnjr SU'.G,162.45. it shows the average cost per lamp to be Jllil.Sl per year, burning on un av erage only C.;i hours per night, 2 nights per month and costing .0(17 per hour; furnishing l"fi candle power per hour for one cent. This Is the nverage anil includes every municipal plant in Mas sachusetts. "(n this report," write? Sir. Krancis co, "depreciation was made 5 per cent, because that Is the rate mentioned In the Municipal Ownership act. The commissioners do not endorse tlds per cent, as their opinion of what it should bo, but simply use the per cent, named in the bill which became a law. If the depreciation was calculated oven at fi per cent, on tho whole property It 'would tidd JC.6J to tho cost of each lamp. On page 06 of the Massachusetts report is shown tho total Investment of tlieso plunts, amounting to $033,781. Therefore, It will bo seen that the In terest was not calculated upon the In vestment, but only upon the balance of bonds umt notes outstanding. .If In terest was bused upon tho total Invest ment, It would add $11.03 to the cost of each lamp. In order to give ti fair comparison between the cost us fur nished by a private corporation und a municipal plant, we must add these Items u enumerated above nnd tho loss of taxes, Jir,62 per lamp, to the cost ns shown by the commissioners' report, which makes tho cost of tho lights under municipal control $165,15 per lamp, per year, using only n 1.200 candle-power lamp. Hyde Park, Chel sea, Uoston, Sprlngfleld.Wcstflcld, Hav erhill nnd Worcester, nil Massachusetts cities, are furnished on an average 1.7U candle-power arc lights, under contract, burning on nn nverago eight hours per night, twenty-nine nights per month, at an nverage cost or $102.95 per lamp, per year, costing .031 per hour and furnishing fl3 candln-power per hoin for one cent." Here is a difference of more than f0 per cent. In the cost, the 'balance resting In favor of private enterprise. Mut this is not all. The total Invest ment of all Hie municipal plants in Slassachusetts amounts to $013,771; and their usfets now, by tho inventories furnished to the commissioners, amount to only $3(10,816.79, while their liabilities ar $fle7,1S1.71, showinp a deficiency or $S'i,:67.92. which bus not been Included In the cost of lights, but is n part of the loss to th" taxpayers of Massachu setts, caused by the plan of municipal ownership. If the comparatively well-governed municipalities of Slassachusetts can not make it success of municipal light plants, are we Justified In supposing that the city councils of Scrnnton would succeed In p similar undertak ing? Kor a man long ago pronounced by the Philadelphia Press & Co. political ly dead and burled, SI. S. Quay con tinues to keen the Insurgent mourners singularly furtive and uneasy. A Challenge. The disagreement of the jury In the trial at Charleston, S. C, of persons accused of lynching tho negro post master of Lake City presents .a mis carriage of justlco which, although not unexpected, Is nevertheless to bo deep ly deplored. In tho community where this atrocious crime was committed there was confident boast, prior to the trial of the suspected assassins, that the jury would acquit without leaving Its seat. As a matter of fact, nfter twenty-one hours of deliberation, It voted 5 to 7 for conviction, a sign of at least partial respect for law and order which deserves to bo noted ns an offset to tho original crime. The five men voting for conviction were men of education and ownera of prop erty. They are deserving of the high est credit In view of the fact that the guilt of the accused was clearly estab lished. In his address to the Jury Judge Brawiey called attention to the fact that this Lake City murder had heen the subject of comment from Aguln aldo, who had alluded to it derisively as an evidence of America's boasted civilization. The sneer of the Malay rebel was superilclal, but It will hnvo more force now that a regularly chosen jury after ample testimony showing conclusive guilt has returned a. verdict of disagreement. Judge ISrawiey also said: "Sometimes I feel that the moral fibre of the people is growing weaker Instead of growing stronger that there Is a growing deterioration in our race. Forty years ago who heard of negroes committing arson, assault, murder und burglary? Who heard of a lynching or mob violence forty years ngo? Who ever heard of the humble home of a man being burned and his children butchered? These things Indicate that the law Is no longer respected by our people the law has lost its sanction. What does that mean? It means an archy; it means the disintegration of society; It means barbarism. The whole people have the government in their bunds, and If they cannot enforce the law they confess their Impotence. If they cannot govern the state with all the machinery In their handsi without resorting to violent means, It is a con fession of Incapacity, and the sooner this is realized the better It will be for all concerned. The restoration of our pristine virtue is the real white man's burden. Tho judge, of course, is pessimistic, In spite of occasional gross crimes society upon tho whole Is growing bet as steadily. Hut the growth In virtue needs every encouragement that civil ization can give and the fallute of justice In this Poutli Carolina, case should be considered, not as a signal for good citizenship to lay down and repine, but as a challenge. Sir. Crcker seems to foiget that even if lu should be able; to make Tom Plutt out a bold, bad man It would still take iinno of tho Interrogation marks off the character of Hlchnrd Croker. Smnller School Boards. Hath President Eliot of Harvard and Superintendent Andrews of tho pub lic schools of Chicago have recently de clared with emphasis In favor of small school boards and a long term of ser vice. Says tho latter: "One of the greatest evils of a large school board is what may be termed the sectional or geographical spirit. Tho member of such a body comes to think of him self as the representative of a certain section, ward, class, nationality or ele ment of the city, and feels that he la charged with this Interest to the ex clusion, perhaps, of all others. This beRets n narrow and trauicklng spirit, Hnd he Is willing to make concessions asjalnst his best Judgment In otder to gain support and votes for tho one element to which ho Is devoted. Tho member of a smaller educational board has llttln temptation to lose sight of a pniamount interest simply because it is not of greater benefit to liU own particular locality than to the whole territory concerned. Tho more nearly a board of education can approximate the non-sectional spirit of tho national cabinet the better for the community." The truth of these observations Is up- parent to every student of the problem. Smaller boards and better men on them are what we need In school administra tion, und In no place Is this need more keenly felt than In Scrnnton nt the present time.

Stirvey. Harrlsburg Letter In Philadelphia Ledger. II UN the legislature adjourned It lctt on the governor's hands 303 bills for his consideration. The constitution gives him thirty days to dispose of these meas ures. About one-half of them are au- proprlatlou bills, and, as the legisla ture passed only ono measure which will provide additional revenue, the Daldwin mercantile tux bill, the can dliion of the state's finances will no doubt bo carefully gone over before the appropriations to charitable institu tions are considered. If, in the esti mation of the governor, there is r.ot enough revenue In sight to warrant him in signing these bills, a number of ve toes may be expected. The most Important bill In his hands Is probably the general appropriation bill. This Is a sort of an omnibus measure, carrying with It every item of expense that has the remotest con nection with the executive, judicial and legislative departments. It Is quite a voluminous bill, and is the last one passed before adjournment. Its final construction Is always left to a com mittee of conference, consisting of three representatives from each house, and, as members are unable to give It a careful inspection when it is submit ted in the early morning of the last day, many a snake escapes the eye of the most vigilant legislator. The gen eral appropriation bill this year seems to have given satisfaction. Tha com mittee of conference consisted of Sena tots Mitchell, of Jefferson; Crown, of Westmoreland, both Quay ltepubllcans, nnd Cochran, of Lycoming, a Demo crat, and Representatives Marshall, of Allegheny; Harris, of Clearfield, two Quayltes, and Hoy, of Clarion. o The amount appropriated to the pay ment of salaries of the several stale officers and their clerks and employes by the general appropriation bill Is $l,0S7,623.2li, which is $133,879.67 less than was appropriated to this Item In 1897. The legislature this year knocked out tho appropriations of $1,200 to the audi tor general and state treasurer for serving on the board of puhllc ac counts, and the same amounts to each of these otlicials for serving as mem bers of the board of public ground:! and buildings. The $1,200 formerly given to the attorney general and secretary of Internal affairs each for serving on the board of property were aim diop ped. Although the legislature created an nddltloual Judge for Erlo cmnty, the Item for the payment of salaries and mileage Is $8,682.38 less than it was two years ngo. Even the appro priation to pay the expenses of the legislature is much less than It was In 1897. Two years ago $641,617.92 was appropriated in the senate und house, and this year tho appropriation is $360, 734.90, a saving of $S3,4S3.02. o Following are the more Important measures awaiting tho governor's ac tion: Providing for an additional law Judge for Erie county.

One of the most notleeablo things in this city Is tho vigorous way in which work Is being pushed In the construction of sewers. Several hundred men uro cm ployed in that way and the business center will soon bo provided for the first tlmo with sowers. They are not of tho durublo kind that would be constructed If money were plenty, but they will nn swer. This work Is being done by Gen eral Wood In co-operation with tho city authorities. Hero is a marked feature of General Wood's management: When he deems it necessary to make such im provements ho calls In the chamber of commerce for consultation. The Supremo court members uro also frequently con sulted about public affairs. When an of fice is to be tilled the local authorities nro Invited to recommend a competent person for the place. In this way tho people feel that they are taking a largo part of the government and tho greatest satisfaction is expressed on all sides with General Wood's work. H would appar ently have been better IT a similar course had been followed In Havana. No matter how well people may bo governed they nro never satisfied unless they luivo something to do with that government. The experience of the town of Pullman, in Cook county, III., illustrates that fact. Tho peoplo of Cuba nro not Anglo-Saxons, It is true, but they have been con tending so long for a measure of self government that they are much better satisfied when consulted in the way Gen eral Wood has done. o While In Havana there Is much criticism In the newspapers because the old Span ish law allowing persons to bo arrested without knowledge of tho charge against them or of their accuser's name, and to be placed Incommunicado, is still in force, there Is no complaint of that kind in Santiago. There Is no habeas corpus In Havana, but theto la In Santiago. Ono of General Wood's early nets was to is sue an order that every person arrested should have the right to communicato with counsel and with friends and to know what tho charge Is against him. Just why such nn order has never been Issued in Havana Is not easy to discover. Tho Spanish law which permitted of tho arrest of a person and Ids Incarceration without knowledge of the charge against him and without tho privilege of com municating with nny ono wns as bitterly denounced ns anything else connected with Spanish rule In Cuba. Dut outside of Santiago provlneo that law Is In force today and arrests have heen mado under it In Havana within three weeks. 1 In quired of General Ludlow, tho military governor of that city, why that Iniquitous law hail not been suspended, and In re ply he said that ho had made such a rec. ommendatton to Governor General Hrooke, but no action had been taken. As General Hrooke resides In Havana, the blamo for tho delay appears to rest on mm. TEN RULES FOR THE TREAT MENT OF ANIMALS. Compiled by tho S. P. C. A. 1. No onu has a right to keep animals, either for uso or for pleasure, unless ho is able nnd willing to provide them with whatever Is necessary for their health and happiness. No animal can bo healthy or happy un less It Is kindly treated, comfortably lodged, regularly fed, supplied with water, und aftoided opportunities of recreation. 2. Gcntlo treatment is due to all ani mals, und need not Interfere with firm ness in governing them. Animals uro often thouifht to bo ill-tempered or ob stlnato when they are really suffering from some pain or Irrltutlon of which wo do not perceive the cause, but which may bo soothed by patience and qukt ness. If you try to find out what Is the matter with un animal before you punish him, you will probably find out that there is no reason to punish him. Bo careful to rcmovo anything that causes ftar. Animals are often terrified by things that men hardly observe. If they are punished, their terror Is only increased. Nothing will quiet them so eoon as gentle talk nnd caressing. Kindness will win the confidence of any animal, and an unlmal which confides in its keeper is easily managed. If you want your horso to work well, take good cure that his harness docs not chafe him. 3. All animals require the sunshine, and their dwellings should have a southerly or westerly aspect, If posslblo; but they should alwuys have access to shade when they deslro It Stables, heds, coops and cages should bo well drained, well lighted, and well ventilated, but never draughty. Different uninials require different tem peratures. A humane owner ought to learn tho degree of heat und cold which tho unlmal is enabled by nature to en dure. Every stable, yard, cage, kennel ond bed should bo kept thoroughly clean. 1. Every unlnutl should have as much solid food dally as It will eut up clean, but no more than it will consume. Stalo food Is unwholesome. It should bu re moved early in tho morning, und re placed by a fresh supply. Nocturnal uulmuls should be fed ut sunset. Ho careful to give ull anlmuls as much variety of food its possible, and let It bo ns nearly us posrlble the food which tho animal would use In a state of nature. Animals which !o,to regularly fed on grain might to hnvo frequent supplies of green food. 5, H-'ory animal should have an abund ant supply of puro water for drinking. Vessels used for food or water should be washed dally, and wiped dry beforo re lining. Iron troughs or plates lined with porcelain urn tho best, being clean, cheap and durable. C. Duthlug Is necessary to the health and comfort of ninny imlnml.s. Cage birds ought to bo allowed to bathe dully, unit a separate vessel, adapted to their size, should be supplied for that purpose Some birds delight In dust baths. A working horse should be allowed every duy to roll on tho grass, or, bctler, per haps, on sawdust. 7. Animals, us well as men, nrn happier and better for reasonable recreation. Whenever It Is possible, they should h.ivo It. The horse should be allowed an op portunity to run nt laige. Dogs, espe cially In cities, should bo taken out to run freely. Kven cage-birds are Im mensely pleased If they arc allowed to leave the rage for an hour or so every day. 8. When nn iinlmnt Is sick, see that It Is kept quiet nnd unmolested nnd that Its treatment Is unusually gentle. 9. When It Is cortnln that an nnlmnl will die, nlwnys sectiro the services of a hu nnme and experienced person to destroy It In the quickest nnd least painful way; and when It dies, rcver fall to bury it nt once. 10. Try to make tho world ns happy n world ns possible for nny of God's crea tures that may happen to be in your charge. THE QUAY TRIAL. From tho Philadelphia Ledger. Tho trial was a notable one In ninny particulars, and most so in respect of tho continuous manifestations of the ability nnd fairness with which It wns conduct ed. The dlcnlly. learning mid upright nes of our courts hnvo seldom been so V)n.inqlngly demonstrated. The, icaso was ono of almost utilvetsul Interest, nnd It was nlso ono regarding tho merits of which thero existed a broad und pro. found divergence of public sentiment. Ite causo of this general Interest and feel ing, the attention of the peoplo was day by dny fixed upon tho conduct of the trial, but the most rigorous or prejudiced ob server of tho proceedings was unable to criticise them adversely. Consequent ly tho verdict of the Jury ought to be re ceived with entlro respect by nil those who would safeguard the orderly oper ations of tho law. REXFORD'S, April 24.
