By a re-arranecmcnt o forces, The

under the Immediate control or Mr.
Albert de Foltott, a Job printer of prac
tical and varied experience, whoso rec
ord for producing good worltmanahlp
tind fulfilling encasements promptly Is
of the best. Mr. do Follett at various
times has had managerial charne of a
number of the leading Job printing es
tablishments In the country and his
equipment covers every branch of plain
and artistic printing, color work, half
tono work, otc. Suitable enlargements
of type supply and other materials will
be made t" enahlo him to establish this
plant In lino with the foremost. Mr. W.
"W. Davis, formerly In charge, will re.

agent.

It put li'.M circulation tho story
that tho governor had biught a
new I'O.ii'h and had had emblazoned
upon It rnnstilcnously the tate coat of
nrms. ThN sttity was printed In the
"Inaurirent" irvr with all the promi
nence "f un Important piece of Mate In
formation, thf Idea blng to creato the
Impression aniong the people that the
governor had become an aristocrat
since his election.
As with mo.t "Insurgent" literature
the j,tory was absolutely falsi; and
even If true It would have had very
little Intrinsic significance. But tha
mendacity ihown In such a fabrication;
the Hmallness of Ideas and of spirit,
make it valuable as affording a test of
Insurgent character and capacity.
Small wonder that the sensible Repub
lican masses everywhere throughout
the commonwealth are smiting these
contemptible back biters hip and thigh 1
Says General Wood: "The whole
problem today In Cuba Is work. I'ut
the Idle people, who are now reading
the Incendiary press, to work, relegate
to a back seat tho politicians, whose
present Importanco rests solely on the
attentions they are receiving from our
people, and they will not have follow
ers enough left to give them the slight
est Importance or weight In the com
munity. .The people who are creating
the dlstui bailees today In Cuba do not
represent 2 per cent, of the popula
tion." Human nature Is much the
same the wot Id over.
Trying an Old Trick.
The resources of municipal vil
lainy are being maishalcd Just now In
a desperate attempt to discredit tho
men who are conducting the current
lnsTstlgatlon into the methods of gov
ernment in vogue In Is'ew York city.
Finnic Moss, the counsel for the Mazet
committee, is accused of handling his
witnesses too roughly and the men
assoclateii with him in this probing
cnti'ipiise are accused of being In the
woik for political purposes only.
Kveiy other possible accusation or In
nuendo is kept busy in tho endeavor
to stir up a cloud of du.at wherewith
to divert tho attention of the public
from the main subject In hand.
Of -ourc Mo.'s handles his witnesses
rnuqhly; tt Is the only way to handle
them, lit does not handle them halt
so mughly, howevci, as they handle
thimehes or as, In confessional
moods, they hanOlri each other. Of
cour.-e the puity majority which creat
ed the Mnvt committee Is in search
of campaign material. That Is what
political parties are for. If one party
did not act as a cheek on the other; If
the outs clid not watch tho Ins and seize
uulekly ftvery sign of Ineflleleney or
corruption as the occasion for public
cxpusiuip, where would popular gov
ernment finally land? If Tammany la
h"foullng tho administration of New
York city It Is the business of Tam
many's opponents to show Tammany
up. Don't think for a. minute that
Croker's gang would nhow a dllferent
spirit If the tables were turned.
A point which decent people should
keep In mind In this and similar con
nections Is that It takes real grit and
a fine kind of militant patriotism for
honest men, such as we believe Moss
nnd his associates to be, to &o In
against such strongly entrenched con
spiracies of plunder as Tammany unci
put up a fight In behalf of u public
which the greater part of the time does
not ecem to care much whether It Is
robbed or not. As Moss hlnwlf has
said, talking to young men: "A man
who Is struck In battle' with a bullet
has the consolation of wearing the
ecar with pride In public, but In such
n fight as this a man may he struck
down almost without knowing It and
all his virtue and heroism bo conceal
ed." The man who serves a boss 13 reason
ably sure that his reward will bo In
proportion to the value of his service;
otherwise tho personal dynasties In our
American politics would disintegrate.
But tho man who seta out to do a
work very largely In tha Interest of the
General welfare never knows how roon
tho fickle publlo will reward hlser
vlco with jecra and always knows that
the men on whose corns he trods will
trcasuro their Injury until tlmo brings
opportunities for revenge. In point
of heroism, therefore, the eoldler who
fights In the open, with equal chances
PJC death or distinction, lias no advan
tage over the genuine! reformer and his
circumstances uro easy la comparison,
because win or lose, that is tho end of
It, whereas tho reformcir's battlo is
never ended nor Is his enemy alwayo
amenable to the honorable rules of war.
When men whom wo consider to bo
honest ore willing to serve the stato
In civil life with tho uplrlt which ani
mates the soldier on the firing lino let
us see that they do not lack encour
agement. Leading Democrats do not expect
that free silver will cut any figure In
the next national Democratic platform.
The majority of thorn have no scruple
against free silver or anything else cal
culated to catch the votes of tho dis
contented, hut they are convinced that
It will again hoodoo the arty If placed
at the front. Mr. Uryan, therefore,
will bo obliged to ease tip on his fav
orite theme or ho may find himself cit
a box Inviting people to view tho freaks
of tho side show while others arc gain
ing applause in Democracy's three
ringed tent.
A Charge Which Ought to Bo In
vestigated Fully.
Several days have elapsed during
which Admiral Schley has been too
busy with popular ovations to pay any
attention to tho churge of cowardice
and selfishness preferred against him
on the authority of Lieutenant Ilodg
ron, the navigator of the Brooklyn.
The point In controversy Is as follows,
to tiso the words of W. E. Curtis, an
Impartial historian:
"As the Spanish fleet came out of tho
harbor tho Vlscaya pointed directly
toward tho Brooklyn, which, however,
was four or flvo miles distant. When
Admiral Schley .aw her coming ho ran
the Brooklyn away from her nnd de
scribed what has since been called
'the loop. lie says It was 'a tactical
maneuver.' All tho officers of the fleet
say It was an act of cowardice, nnd
that It was the only Instance In the
war where an American vessel ran
away from an enemy. Admiral Schley
says If ho had not made this maneuver
the Vlscaya would have rammed the
Brooklyn and sunk Iter. The other of
tlcers who witnessed the Incident ask
why the Brooklyn did not ram tho
Vlscaya and sink her instead. The
Texas was In u similar position, but
Instead of running away like tho
Brooklyn Commodore Philip, her com
mander, started straight for the Vls
caya to engage her at close quarters.
That Is, he sought tho danger that
Admiral Schley tried to avoid and
came very near colliding with tho
Brooklyn. It was at this tlmo that tho
alleged colloquy took place between
Admiral Schley and Lieutenant Hodg
son, who was tho officer In charge of
navigation:
"Admiral Schley 'Hard aport!'
"Lieutenant Hodgson 'You mean
starboard.'
"Schley 'No, I don't. We are near
enough to them (tho Spaniards) al
ready.' "Hodgson 'But wo will cut down tho
Texas.'
"Schley 'Damn the Texas. Let her
look out for herself.' "
Unlike some of tho disputed points In
naval strategy, this episode, coupled
with the censure officially passed by
the navy department on Schley for dis
obedience of orders and reprehensible
conduct prior to tho naval battle at
Santiago, Involves the honor of the
entire naval service nnd therefore de
mands an official Inquiry. A subordi
nate officer In good standing In tho ser
vice calls Schley a coward and Is sus
tained In that accusation by the un
spoken belief of many fellow-officers
who served alongside Schley on tho
North Atlantic fleet. Opportunity has
been afforded Schley to challenge his
accuser to make good his accusation
and It has apparently been Ignored.
Yet the man thus accused occupies the
position of rear admiral and ranks
others against whose fame as lighters
and as commanding officers no syllable
of reproach has ever been breathed.
Is It not time to force an adiudica
tlon of this matter out of respect to
the service?
The president's friend, Mr. Kohlsaat,
Is now In a condition of belligerency
against Senator Foraker, whom he calls
a traitor, dastard, lobbyist, etc., and
whose political extermlnaton he de
mand?! In the Interest of the general
welfare. The president's friend should
not be too severe on a man who ts
down.
A Now Cure for Idiocy.
How far will science go?
This Inquiry is suggested by sight in
the New York papers of a news item
announcing In the language of the
Sun that "Professor Woolsey, assisted
by Drs. Christian, Wilson and Nutt,
reshaped the fckull of an Idiot child at
Bellevue yesterday In the hope that It
will develop Intelligence. Half a hun
dred medical men who witnessed tho
operation bollevo tho result sought for
will be obtained. The subject was Leo
Freedman, 3 years old, whose parents
live at 416 West Fifty-third street.
On April 2S the child was brought to
Bellevue by Its mother, who told tho
hospital doctors that it had never
shown any signs of Intelligence. Tha
doctors have been dieting tho Child,
preparing It for the operation. They
concluded that the brain of tho child
was too largo for the nkull and that
parts of the skull should be removed
to case tho brain. Yesterday Profes
sor Woolsey made an incision In tho
scalp at tho basa of the skull and
peeled the scalp as far back as tho
forehead. Two pieces of the skull wcro
then cut out, one on tho right Bide
behind the ear being triangular In
shape, each sldo of the triangle meas
uring thrc Inches. A smaller piece of
tho skull on tho left side was removed.
This measured 1 Inches along each
side of tho triangle. From each open
ing the doctors removed substances
which necmed to have pressed against
the brain, and then thy proceeded to
build up the openings of the skull,
using ctrlps of celluloid 'and making of
It a lattice work resembling the caning
used In chair seats. When this work
was dono the scalp was sewed back in
place, and tho child was removed from
the operating table to a cot. The doc
tors talrl last night that tt wac getting
along nicely."
In a recent novel, that daring Inven
tor of plots scientific, H. a. Weill,
pictured tho conditions on an Island
peopled by orang-outangs who, undor
tho operations of a skilled vivisection
1st, had been transformed, physically
to very close rcsemblanco, and men
tally to some resemblance, unto human
belug3. The orang-outangs had been
taught by their surgical god-father to
talk and to act like himself nnd their
progress toward Immunization was"
proceeding finely when the sudden
death of their mentor cut off tho cur
rent of Inspiration and released Into
a saturnalia the long repressed forces
of animalism. Mr. Wells' story was a
vivid study In purely Imaginary hor
rorsa kind of scientific nightmare, so
to speak. But If this New York ex
periment succeeds, It will be hardly
less surprising and much mora sub
stantial, becauso based on fact.
In tho presence of the modern sur
geon It behooves the layman to prue.
tlso becoming humility. Yet If the
knlfo can establish lta power of euro
over idiocy tho surgeon of tho futuro
will be a bigger and busier man than
p.ver.
The Times octopus editor should not
got inad when told that ho has earned
a rest. Getting mad only shows how
badly he needs one.
Spelling Reform.
The newspapers, having had their
laugh at Dr. Andrews, the superinten
dent of tho Chicago schools, for pro
posing to introduce in tho primary
grades the reformed spelling of twelve
common words recommended by the
National Educatlonul association, now
owe It to tho doctor to explain the pur
pose and scope of the Innovation. At
first only these changes In spelling are
contemplated: In place of "programme,"
program; "though," tho; "although,"
altho; "thorough," thoro; "thorough
fare,' thorofare: "through," thru;
"throughout," thruout; "catalogue,"
catalog; "prologue," prolog; "deca
logue," decalog; "demagogue," dema
gog; "pedagogue," pedagog. If tho
economy In letters as well as the sim
plification hero suggested shall appeal
to the public as representing sufficient
advantages, a Hystem of spelling re
form will follow based upon the follow
ing rules:
c Drop silent o when fonetlcally
useless, writing -er for -re, as
in live, single, eaten, rained,
theatre, etc.
ca. Drop a from ea havlns the
sound of c, as In feather,
leather, etc.
o. For o having the sound of u in
but wrlto u In abov (abuv),
tongue (tunc), and tho like,
ou. Drop o from ou having tho
sound of u in but, in trouble,
rough (rut) nnd tho like; for
-our unaccented write -or, as
In honour,
u, uo. Drop silent u after g before a,
and In natlv English words,
and drop final uo; guard,
guess, catalogue, league, etc.
Dubl consonants may be sim
plified when fonetlcally uso
lcss; bailiff (not hall, etc),
battlo (batl), written (wrltn),
traveller, etc.
d. Change d and ed final to t when
bo pronounced, as in looked
Oookt), etc., unless the o af
fects tho preceding sound, aa
In chafed, etc.
Eh, ph. Change gh and ph to f when ?o
sounded; enough (enuf),
laughter (latter), etc.; pho
netic (fonctic), etc.
s. Change s to z when so sounded,
especially In distinctive words
and in lsc; abuse, verb
(abuzc), advcrtlso (advertize,
etc.
t. Drop t In tch; catch, pitch, etc.
The following examples will render
these rules moro Intelligible:
Tha natlv laft at tho'fotograf and &tuk
his tung at it, altho ho thot tho
fllosofer waz as bltr a demagog as tho
fotografer who wlsht tho fotograf pub
llsht. lie smokt a clgaret thruout the dialog.
He waz nbuzed.
They had wrltn enuf abot the batl.
Abuv the thorofare waz a pedagog.
Sho cannot each the car.
There ar trubles enuf.
She had a slngl fethcr In her hat.
It waz a rufly writn story.
They ar wlzo dccalogs.
Certain exceptions to the rules are
necessitated, ns follows:
Many amendabl words cannot bo
changed for reasons such as these: (1)
Tho changed word would not be easily
recognized, as nee for knee; or (2), let
ters aro left in strange positions, as In
edg for edge, casq for casque. (3) The
wrong sound Is suggested, as In vag for
vague, ncer for acre. (4 ) A valuable
distinction Is lost; casquo to cask, dost
to dtipt. (5) The derivation Is obscured;
nun for none, dun for done, munth for
month.
Of course neither Dr. Andrews nor
any other spelling reformer proposes
to force spelling reform on reluctant
school children; but they argue with
a good deal of force that Inasmuch as
the clumsiness, wastefulness and ir
regularity of the existing rules of spell
ing are generally conceded to stand In
need of amendment, the sooner a prac
tical start is made the better. We saw
a computation once which purported
to estimate tho amount of money
wasted since the discovery of the art
of printing by reason of the silent and
useless letters In the English language
tho cost of unnecessary type, composi
tion, paper, Ink, etc., with Interest com
pounded annually. We do not remem
ber the exact total, but It reached Into
the billions of dollars. In these days
of superabundant printing the elision
of superfluous letter a would constitute
a very noticeable economy.
It will probably bo useless for Ester
hazy ever again to attempt to speak
the truth.
A Man.
The quiet and amiable citizen now
serving his country and civilization
well as president of France 3ays he did
not court that office but that, having
accepted It in tho line of duty he will
stick to It and do his duty therein at
any and every hazard. When M. Lou
bet was elevated to tha position vacat
ed by the sudden death of it. Fauro
the records did not show In his be
half any extraordinary qualifications;
but you can never tell. An emergency
came and this quiet nnd amiable gen
tleman, whose wish had formerly been
mainly to keep out of trouble, met
It with a backbone of steel and today
nil that there is to republicanism in
Franco depends upon M, Loubet's cool
head and steady nerve.
Wo have been Hccustomcd to ridicule
tho freaks in Franco; let us now pay
homage to a man. '
Now that Dewey has escaped the
perils of Hong Kong cookery his

safety.
fin Explanation of
American Greatness
From tho TImcs-lIcrald.
THIinU was a good deal moro than
tho felicitous compliment of a
sailor to the nonmllltant sex In
tho words In which Admiral
Schley spoke of tho women of
America, last Saturday. In one plac.
speaking of how this broad land had been
converted from a wilderness Into a para
dise, ho said that "in its beautiful women
und strong men ho could see why this
country is great." But it was when
ho spoke of the hlch regard nnd honor
tho people of this country have for wo
men that the admiral really touched
upon one of tho most potent secrots of
American progress. "In proportion,"
said he, "as a nation holds its women In
high regard and dovelopB thoso virtues
to tho highest plane, In Just that propor
tion Is a nation great. It Is becauso wo
place our women upon that high elovn
tlon of vlrtuo that we havo become great
Poison tho sourco of a nation's origin
and it dies."
There Is far more in these words than
lies on tho surface. They touch tho truo
source of America's chief claim on tho
world'B admiration, envy and Imitation.
In this country, whero every citizen is a
sovereign, all our women aro queens.
Hero only In the great world does tho
woman walk abroad in the freo majesty
of man's honor and regard. No class or
station in llfo monopolizes the distinc
tion between tho relation of tho sexes
here and in European countries. Even In
England the, law nnd tho customs of cen
turies forco women into a subordinate
place.
:o:
Ono of the evident results of the greater
respect paid to women In America than
elsewhero Is tho gradual Improvement of
American women in personal nppeariuico
a3 well as mental attainment. Tho young
women of this generation are as a rule
taller and better developed physically
thnn, their mothers. The statistics of fe
male colleges prove this. Moro attention
Is paid to their bodies as well as to their
minds. They are being fitted to be tho
mothers of Americans. When ono In
seeking for the springs of American
push and progress thero Is no need to
look beyond tho women of America.
WHO IS THE LIAR P
From a Harrlsburg Dispatch In the Phil
adelphia Times.
Governor Stone, today denied tho truth
of the story published In some papers
that ho had the coat-cf-arms of tho
state painted on his private carriage. Ho
said: "This statement Is ubsolutely
without foundation in fact, and I cannit
imagine how It originated. There Is but
one carriage In the coach houso at
tached to the executive mansion which
bears on Its panels the state's arms. Th'a
Is a btato coach designed for special oc
casions, which was, I believe, built for
General Beaver. I havo a privato car
riage, which has no ccm.ectlon with tho
stato and Is not maintained at tho com
monwealth's expense. This carriage has
my initials, 'W. A. S.,' on tho panels. 1,
of course, have, never used the coat-of.
arms In a personal way at nil, and tho
stories which assert the contrary aro
not true."
CANADA'S OPPORTUNITY.
From tho New York Sun.
Tho dispute over the boundary between
Canadian territory and the territory of
tho United States shows tho monstrous
absurdity of its existence. There should
not be any boundary, or any other such
questions for the two countries to wran
gle about. The people of this republic
and of the Dominion aro at heart tha
same, and in their origin akin. They
speak the samo language, and their social
order Is founded on tho same principles.
Tho day aftor Canada discards a tor-elgn-mado
governor-general, and chooses
her own governors, as do the states of
tho American Union, her bewilderment,
her languor and her subordination will
change Into life, prosperity and power,
and In raising her own flag tho Stars
and Stripes sho will feel tho first thril
of patriotism.
A REVELATION.
From tho New York Sun.
It Is proper to say that tho Henderson
campaign for speaker up to the present
time is unprecedented In respect to bold
ness of conception and vigorous prompti
tude of execution. As a surprise and a
revelation of new, swift methods, it al
most deserves to rank with Mr. Hanna's
memorablo preliminary cam ass in the
McKlnley year.
AN INTERESTING DATE.
From an Unidentified Exchange.
Not every ono Is aware that tho open
ing years of the next century will wit
ness tho completion of the first milliard
of minutes slnco tho beginning of our
chronology. From approximate calcula
tions tt would sctm that tho one billionth
mlnuto will bo reached at 10.10 a. m., on
April 30. 1902.
