It Is hlfili time to turn tho hose on this nauseating public stench. JThe Phillips Case. Tho state of mind in which the ro tent Investigation of the management of tho High school was begun and conducted, and the conclusion reached, constitute, in our opinion, an Imprcs Blvc Illustration of how the educa tional affairs of u large city ought not to he run. From the evidence, public and pri vate, it does not In our Judgment ap pear that the primary charges against Dr. Phillips have been sustained; nor do we llnd In the transcript of testi mony sufficient warrant for the cen sure put upon this efficient and con scientious Instructor In the teport of the High and Training committee which recommended a cut in II r. Phil lips Biliary and which the Hoard of Control on Friday night approved. ThI?. however, Is our opinion only and opinions are llitWo to differ. There can, though, be no difference of opinion among fair-minded men upon the point that in turning an episode of thin kind into a factional political game and exhibiting in ltd treatment the passion and the wire pulling of an old-fashioned ward cau cus an abominable example is set bo fore the eyes of tho young men and women in our High school. We hope that when they come Into men's and women's estate they will order school government better. m Considering how near tho asphalt snake Is to hla place of business, tho octopus editor of the Times ought to fill his pocket with snake bite cure. Looking Backward. The American Land and Title Regis ter has tabulated returns from 12 American cities comparing the build ing record for the month of .Tune with tho record for Juno a year ago. Of these 42 cities 25 show an Increase, ranging from 5 per cent, in Buffalo to 12fi per cent, in New Orleans, iS per cent in Salt Lake City and nri per cent. In Duluth. New York's increase Is SO per cent, and Drooklyn's is 84. l'he average for all the cities reporting Increases Is considerably abovo 10 per cent. Only 12 cities report decreases, the worst being in New Haven, where building operations fell off 50 per cent. Scranton is not included in the table. Here, on account of the strike, tho fall ing off has been very marked. The conclusion to be derived fnom lhls table is that, speaking generally, the present spring and summer season baa been an uncommonly good one In the building trades; especially good when we take into account the numer ous recent advances In the prices of building materials, some of which have neon arbitrary enough to scare Intend ing bunder into postponing their oper ations until a mom Inviting time. Aa tve note this truth we gain a new reali zation of the extreme unwisdom of the local strike wliich has not only de prived scranton oi an parucipuuuii in the general prosperity characterizing the building industry throughout the United States but has also Imposed a jrlevous burden of loss upon every Branch of local commerce and Indus try, for which there is in view no compensating gain. It is rime this burden was lifted. It ihould he lifted In a spirit of mutual :onclllutlon. In relying upon the Democracy alone Tor assistance In this country Aguln Dlao uecms disposed to blight Senator Hoar. Scope of the New Dreyfus Trial. iNew York Sun, Editorial We have before us the text of the ludgment rendered by tlin court of ras latlon In the Dreyfus affulr, and pub Ished by order of the chamber of leputles In every commune of France. I close examination of this document llsoloscs tho important fact that Drey :us Is not to be tried upon the general iharee of treason, but upon the ques lon whether he committed a particular reasonable act which Is specified In .he Judgment. That la t- say. even If le could be shown, upon newly dis posed evidence, to have been a traitor, iut Is yet guiltless of thu ono tras inable act specified In tho judgment, ic would have to be acquitted by tho ntlltary tribunal now convoked at tennes. The operative pavt of the Judgment rendered by the court of cassation Is hat which sets forth that tho supreme rlbunal quashes and annuls tho ton nice of condemnation passed Dec. 22, !'!. upon Alfred Dreyfus by tho first :ourt-martlal of Pat Is, and sends hack ho accused to be tried by a cuurt tartlal, to be held at Vtenncs, on the bllowlng Issue: "In Dmyfus utility of Uivlns In 1M)1 instigated plots or held ommunlcatlona with a foreign power, r with onu of ics agcntii, with a view o cngago It to commit hostilities and o wage war against France, or In or or to furnish It with tho means to do P, by botraylng thereto the notes and loeuments enumerated In tho border cu?" That Is the naked Issue nub- milted to tho necond court-'martlal, and It Is also to be noted that, by the rea sons recited In tho preamble to tho Judgment, tho ilonncs tribunal Is In structed as to tho weight to bo at tached to" certain cvKJeuco brought forward nfttlnsfDreyfUH at the tlrst court-martial, as well as to certain other evidence which haa been subse quently adduced. It will be remembered that tho first court-martial convicted Dreyfus of having comnntnltatad certain docu ments rclath'g to tlto aVniy to the agent of a foreign poivcr on the express ground that these documents were enu merated !n a list, or bordereau, which It adjudged to be In Dreyfus's hand writing. The evidence submitted to the court of cniKatlori showed, In tho first place, a great preponderance of ox PTt testimony to the fact that tho bor dereau was written by the same hand an two letters known to have been penned by Esterhazy in 1S02 and ISM. It was also proved that these three letters worn written upon transparent, square-ruled paper, and that the most careful soarch had failed to demon strate that Dreyfus ever owned or used a specimen of thin pnper. On these grountlB, M. Ballot-neaupre, the oltlclal reporter of tho court ct cassation, de clared that ho hod come to tho convic tion that thu bordereau was written, not by Dreyfus, but by Esterhazy. Thu rourt, practically, adopted this conclu sion, for. in Its judgment, it says that the facts i elating to tho transparent, square-ruled paper, "unknown to tho rourt-martlnl which passed sentence, tend to show that the bordereau could not have been written by Dreyfus, and, In consequence, nro of a kind to estab lish the Innocence of the condemned." From a reading of the text of the de cision, it appears that nothing Is left to the Kenn?s court-martial except to make a formal acknowledgement that) Dreyfus was not the author of the bor dereau, and, therefore, not the betray er of the documents mentioned therein. There may bo a smaller organization than tho Scranton school board but If so It is not yet got within focus of the microscope. A Reviving Industry. That the American shipbuilding In dustry Is entering upon a new era of actlvltj and doTelopment seems assured In spite of tho tardiness of congress In passing legislation for its encourage ment. A now $3,000,000 shipbuilding plant Is, we are told, soon to be constructed on the banks of the Delaware river. The 'Philadelphia Record, a journal opposed to ocean subsidies, has traced this rumor down and asserts that it Is well founded. The president of the new con cern It describes as a "thoroughly practical and experienced bridge builder and Iron master who is accustomed to manage large establishments." Ac cording to the Marine Review over $70, 000.CO0 worth of new ships are now building in tho United States $40,000,000 worth of wurships and tho rest mer chant ships. It is stated that the ship yards have orders on band Insuring full work for three years to come. At Newport News improvements nro now under way which are to cost two mill ion dollars. The Maryland Steel com pany has reopened its marine plant, and within the past six months it has begun tho construction of seven new steel steamships. Additions to plant and Improvements in mechanism and methods arc tho order of the dav, in both East and West. This being true, let tho next congress give earnest attention to the needs of thjs revising Industry. Our school board's awards of salar ies are fearfully and wonderfully made. American Gold, During the campaign of 1S0G wo were told by the advocates of free coinage that the gold supply of tho world was "cornered" by the money sharks of Lombard street In London and the money centers of the contin ent; and a good many timid people, who were not otherwise in sympath with thes oclltallstlc movement since become known as Bryanlsm, took to worrying about this and wero seriously alarmed lest an artificial gold famine might follow the defeat of bimetallism. It was truo a few years ago that both Great Britain and France hold larger revenues of gold than were then to be found In the United States; but this Is true no longer. Says a New York dispatch: "For mora than a year New York has been going to the front as tho financial center of th" world. Her store of gold, because of the gicat bal ance of trade In favor of tho United States, has been gradually increased at the expense of Europe. At present the gold holdings of England aggregate only $162,000,000 while the clearing house banks of New York city on Friday last alone held $170,827,600. The aggregate gold hold ings of i he principal countries of the world aru as follows: United Stales $1,000,000,900 Great Britain 4W.oW.0ij0 Franco .SOO.OOO.OOO Germany "W.OOO.OK) Austria 230,000,000 Tho necessities of tho Deutsch bank of Berlin and thn Bank of Eng land have been so great within tho past three months that they ha'n been forced to offer premiums to American bankers to ship gold in defiance of ex change rates." American supremacy In tho financial world Is In its Infancy. It will becorno the pre-eminent characteristic of tho twentieth century.

Yl OTHING has disappointed the K opponents of the discharge of V) national duty in the Phllip I -l pines more than the arrange ment reached with the Sultan of the Sulu Islands. What the antl-expan-slonlsts would like to persuade this country is that It Is about to enter on the "conquest," foot by foot and island by Island, of all tho archipelago. The United States has never done this with a now acquisition. It never will. It was eighty years before the last of the Louisiana purchase was Anally taken up. It was over thirty years before even the western bank of tho Mississippi had been brought to order along all Its course. Supremacy and sovereignty were asserted at once. Ad ministration camo later. Any Indian tribe able to govern itself was left to do so. The like Is before us in the Philippines. Whore, as in the Sulu Islands, there is a native rulo which suits the people it governs, which protects the trader and which keeps down rapine and disorder, it will bo aided, directed anil Improved. Its ef forts will be supported and strength ened. Its Injustice will br curbed. Time and opportunity will be given for native development. This course lay open to the Tagals. It is open to day. It was they that attacked American troops. It was their leaders who planned mnssacre in Manila. It was Agulnaldo and not General Otis who precipitated war. When the sovereignty of tho United States is once admitted thu Tagals aro free to organize their own government in their own way. The German and French colonial plan Is to fill tho colony with colonial administrators. It Is not the English plan. It has not been ours. In Alaska we have even gone too far In l'ttlng a territory take caru of Itself. In In dia Itself, out of l.r.CO.160 square miles, f95,lC7 square miles, or one-third of British India, is today ruled by natlvo sovereigns like tho Sultan of Sulu. Nothing so becomes English adminis tration as Its success In maintaining these states, Improving their manage ment and slowly raising them out of Oriental despotism. Jeypoor, a Malay state, is ruled this way. The Straits Settlements are governed through na tlvo chiefs. All over the worU the same plan Is followed, and 212 years aftur English rule began In India with tho cession of Bombay one-third the area of India Is under native rulers. Why should wa be wiser or try to better tho most successful of coloniz ing nowers nnd the methods of the largest of colonial empires? The ilrst duty of a civilized power with the re sponsibilities of a region like the Philippines is not to tear down and destroy but to preservo and to glvo natlvo rulo tho largest possible field. The one indispensable requlslto is the udmlssion of sovereignty. When that Is secured natlvo rulo follows when possible. If war has como In Luzon it Is because Agulnaldo attacked tho American troops and believed he would bo supported In his nttack on tho American Aug by autl-expanslon-lst;i as he wits aided by thoso who de layed tho organization of a new army until March. HE WON. From "Irish Llfo and Character." A political candidate, on paying a sec- ond visit to the houso of a doubtful voter of tho peasant class, was very ploascd, but somewhat surprised, on hearing from tho elector that ho would support him. "Glad to hear It," said tho candidate. "I thought you were, against me." "fluro. I was at first," rejoined the peasant. "Whin tho other day ye called here nnd stood by that pig-sty nnd talked for half nn hour yo didn't budco mo an Inch. Hut after yo had gono away, sor, I got to thtnkln' how ye'd rwvcheil yer hand over the rail and scratched tho pig's back till ho lay down wld tho pleasuio of It.

Tho voyage of the Oreson from New York to Manila Is employed by Rear Ad mlral Ulgglnsrti In tho Independent to lllustrato tho saving In time and money whirl- navigation may expect from tho Nicaragua canal. Tho distance sho sailed by log was lU3inj nautical miles, and tho time was !2 steaming days, making an average speed of 220.0 knots per day. Her coal consumption for steaming pur poses only was 5,417 tons, at a cost of $23, W3.03. Hut had sho gono through Nica ragua sho would at. tho samo sliced have reached her destination In CI. I steaming days, on a coal consumption of 3,021 tons, and at an approximate cost of only $0,fi'JP. That means a saving In timo of 10.6 days; In distance of 0.0S3 nautical miles; In coal of 2.C0G tons; In money of $17,231.03. An nllowanco can bo mado for moderated speed through tho canul and for the cost of tolls, and still tho balanco would be enormous In the canal's favor. Admiral Hlgglnson's Is purely the naval vlow taking up tho relation of the canal to our sea power; and having that In mind ho considers the most valuable of tho savings to bo that In time, since tt might decide a campaign or a war. Hut tho comparison could easily bo extended to tho merchant marine. A llko short ening of tho voyage to or from tho Pa chic means for tho mechantman a saving In time. In wages for the ship's com pany, In provisions. In coal, In the spaco taken up by provisions and coal, In tho Interest on the capltnl Invested, In Insur rince. The romo ship, in other words, could make so many moro round trips in a given time, and carry so much more freight, with a reduction of expenses. Where, also, the value of cargoes Is In creased by prompt delivery, there Is an additional element In favor of tho route across tho Isthmus over the ono around llio Horn or through tho Straits of Magellan.
