What the People Want.
IF SCKANTON Is to have nny
more public Improvements or 13
to pay for those already con
tracted for, tho people must con
tribute tho money by consenting to ad
ditional taxation. This la the con
densed substance of tho recent corres
pondence between tho city controller
usd the city solicitor. The city Is now
up to Its limit In debt; the methods
by which it transacts business are sueli
that Its prevailing income Just about
meets llxeil and current charges, not
Including new improvements; and In
asmuch as no change for tho better
is to bo expected, the only thing for
the dear people to do is to put their
hands a little deeper in their pockets
and put up more cash to be squan
dered. It Is true that In the opinion of many
competent business men the city's pre
sent Income would be ample to meet
all necessary expenses and leave a gen
erous margin besides If It were ad
ministered with approximate fidelity
and Intelligence. It is true that
thousands of dollars of city money are
expended each year in ways that busi
ness principles condemn ns wasteful if
not dishonest, and that these wasteful
expenditures are continued deliberate
ly no matter how clearly their waste
fulness Is pointed out. It is true
that charges of Jobbery, some of them
very serious, have been made In the
press and on the floor of councils from
time to time until tho belief of the
people is that there must bo some
truth Is them; but no action Is taken
to ascertain the facts. Vicious con
ditions are allowed by the people to
run nlong, year after year, and the
natural consequence Is that waste
mounts Into debt, debt Into insolvency
and then the taxpayers are at last
forced to come to the rescue with a
new bond Issue.
There is nothing to prevent this sort
of thing from continuing indefinitely.
The people will murmur when their
taxes are raised, bin inasmuch as tho
raising Is a direct consequence of their
own Indifference their murmuring U
illogical and ineffective. They evident
ly want this kind of devil-may-care
municipal government, else they would
change It; and if they want It they
aro entitled to have It.
France is Indeed a singular nation.
She refused to get excited at a period
in tho Dreyfus affair when everybody
expected to see the brickbats fly.
Slow Work in Cuba.
I.N'E MONTHS of American
control of Cuba will soon
have elapsed and yet tho
Island remains, In Its legal
conditions that Is to say in the meth
ods by which Justice is administered
between man and man and In the prin
ciples of Its Jurisprudence almost, if
not exactly, where it was when the
American nation intervened. Improve
ments have been effected to perhaps a
very creditable degree in the Island's
sanitary condition. In its public works
and conveniences and in tho morals of
its customs administration; In details
of public enterprise the natives have
been treated to admirable object les
sons; but down at the bottom of their
discontent. In the fundamental matter
of ho administration of Justice, which
is tho surest Index of any people's civil
ization, not only has no particular
change been effected but none to our
knowledge has yet bet'ii seriously at
tempted save in special localities and
cases, if any Is in serious contempla
tion the fact has not been made public.
Take one illustration, tho matter of
libel, ' Some time ago General Ludlow
had, by virtue of his authority as mili
tary governor of Havana, to suppress
n venomous and obsceno publication In
that city known as El neconcentrodo.
In this action ho was subsequently sus
tained by tho secretary of war, who,
in reference to the case, wrote; "It Is
to bo regretted that tho persons re
tpnnslble for tho publication cannot bo
nominally punished." That they can
not be so punished Is because the In
tervening power In Cuba has etfeeted
no amendment of the ridiculous Span
ish law on libel, which does not hold
the publisher of a libel responsible but
only tho writer a provision easily
evaded by tho hiring of professional
scapegoats to assume tho responsibil
ity of authorship, generally convicts
already serving time in prison. This Is
only ono illustration of the grotesque
ness of the Spanish system of Juris
prudence which remains in force on tho
island, to tho infinite disgust of all
intelligent Inhabitants, both Spanish
and Cuban. A thousand others could
bo cited.
AVe havo the worij of General Wood
for It that until held up by General
Ilrookc he found not only llttlo dlfll
culty but actual encouragement among
the natives in doing away, as speedily
and ns effectually as possible, In the
territory within hU Jurisdiction, with
the dofectlvo and obsolete Spanish
court system and In substituting,
N
frankly nnd fully, Anglo-Saxon prin
ciples and methods of fair and open
adjudicature. lie did not take the slow
and tortuous pathway to this vitally
necessary reform which seems to have
been preferred by tho rnutlne-lovlng
governor general at Havana, who, It U
to bo feared, lets "I dare not" wait
upon "I would"; he took the short-cut.
straight to tho heart of tho situation
and carried out Immediately tho logic
of American Intervention by removing
without delay the paramount cause of
It. His course found favor wllh tho
Intelligent Cubans, because It wns both
manly and wise; nnd It possessed the
additional advantage of saving a great
deal of valuable time.
When will the authorities at Wash
ington discover that the way to recon
struct Cuba Is to reconstruct it?
If the navy department Is to be run
by the politicians of Maryland, wo
frankly advise the Hon. John D. Long,
of Massachusetts, to get out of it.
Indiana's Roads Exhibit.
Ei' nop
Paris
that
l'nOPKAN visitors at the
Paris exposition which, now
Dreyus has been par
doned, is sure to spring for
ward into renewed and accelerated
public Interest arc to be treated to ono
exhibit which, If they study it intelli
gently ought to do something to correct
erroneous foreign opinions of the Unit
ed States. WV refer to the roads ex
hibit planned by Governor Mount of
Indiana, which Is thus described by a
writer for the Chicago ncconP
"It is not Governor Mount's Intention
to givo tho European countries 'new
wrinkles In road construction, but
rather show them what a community
can do with swampy, boggy, wild ter
ritory in a short space of less than a
centuiy. On" of the most Interesting
features of his collection oT pictures
will bo iin old toll gate, a stretch of old
plank road and a sight of the bottom
less bogs over which turnpikes now
spread, lie will show tho old wooden
bridges, tho old miller going to market
on his horse, which sank belly-deep
many times. He will show how leS3
than a half-century ag.i doctors had
to carry saddlebags and tho mall was
transported on horseback for the rea
son that that was the only way of
reaching points located In bogs. With
these pictures ai -tin Introduction ho
can show some stretches of Indiana's
50,000 miles of graded and gravel high
way and S,GS. miles of pike, which will
compare favorably with tho roads of
southern France and Italy and excel
those of some European countries.."
The writer for the Record adds: "Tho
whole central section of Indiana is now
covered by a net work of free pikes
and graded gravel roads. The farmers
can reach their markets any season of
the year. Northern Indiana has made
wonderful strides in the last few years
in building graded and gravel roads.
The eastern section Is practically fre
of poor roads. In Wayne county alone
there are over S50 miles of as good
roads as can be found In the Missis
sippi section. The most notable plka
in tho nation the great National road
running from Washington to St, I.ouls
-pastes the entire width of the state
and divides the Hoosler community in
to two equal parts. The state recently
passed laws vhich enabled the counties
to purchase toll systems and today
there are less than 200 of a totnl of no -009,
of Indiana's graded and gravel
roads that are under levy of toll gtep.
A fraction over 10 of these 200 mllm
is In ono county Fountain. The toll
gate in Indiana, except in this ono
county and a few communities, Is a
faint outline of the past.'
To appreciate progress of this kind
Is one of tho fundamentals of good gov
ernment we must bear In mind that a
largu part o Indiana !s composed of
swampy soil, where good roads aro
hard to build and hard to keep In re
pair: and also give duo consideration
to the fact that Indiana Is not a stato
rich In mineral wealth, like Pennsyl
vania, hut ono inhabited, until very
recent years, largely by farmers of lim
ited means, upon whom taxes bear
heavily. Imagine the rich and elderly
Keystone state sending a roads exhibit
to Paris!

ONE OF T
agrlcultui
Washlngt
THE hobbies of the
grlcultural department at
lngton is the cultiva
tion of tea in tho United
States. Experiments made under its
auspices in South Carolina have demon
strated the reusability of raising good
tea In this countrj. In places where con
ditions of soil, temperature and rain
fall are suitable, and now the depart
ment Is trying to discover how many
of such places there are.
Very lately Its attention wns turned
to "Wyoming and Professor Mad of
Chejvnne wns authorized to make ex
periments In soil watered by irrigation.
It Is tho belief of Mr. Charles IT. Shep
ard, the agent of the department who
conducted the experiments In South
Carolina, that If the proper amount of
moisture can be secured by artificial
means, tho problem will bo solved. At
Plnehurst, S. 0., where ho experiment
ed, the annual rainfall was less than 57
inches, although in the famous tea
centers of tho Orient it Is frequently as
hlgnxns &0 inches and in some places It
goes us high as 130 Inches. The bulk
of this rainfall In the oriental centers
is between May and September; where
as In this country It. Is more evenly
distributed. To reproduce oriental con
ditions It will, in his opinion, he neces
sary to provide supplemontary'molsturs
during tho summer months by resort
ing to artificial means. henc,e the dpol
slon to experiment In tho Irrigated
fields of Wyoming.
Mr. Shepherd's experiments In South
Carolina date back to IS')?, when ho
planted about 100 tea plants in an aero
of ground. The output of grern tea.
from tills garden has been us follows:
In 1W2, 50 pounds: 1S93, SI pounds; Ufll,
1M pounds- IRPJi. 321 pounds; 1WG, 000
pourdH' 189?, CIS pounds: 1S98, S.200
pounds. Twolvo hundred pounds of
greon ten will afford 30.1 pounds of stan
dard tea for commercial use. Con
ducted on the bq'Iw of Mr. Shcourd's
experiments tho tea. gardens net a
profit of 10 touts per pound, or about
$40 per ncre. It Is believed that with
tho aid of supplemental Irrigation nnd
by conducting the gardens on n larger
scnle, a profit of 25 cents a pound or
$100 nn ncre may be realized. Inas
much as the United States Is now pay
ing to foreigners for tea In the neigh
borhood of $15,000,000 a year It will
be seen that if we can grow our own
ten or u considerable part of It, the
saving in money will bo considerable,
not to mention the satisfaction lnwbe
ing Independent of foreigners for sup
plies. n
"The pardoning of Dreyfus can only
bo the natural, legitimate) and spontan
eous action by which tho representa
tives of the civil power refuse to as
sociate themselves with the obstlnato
Iniquity committed by tho military
Judges. It Is the government of 'c
publlcan Franco repudiating with hor
ror any part In this denial of Justice.
As for us, wo shall pursue with In
creased ardor tho task of public salva
tion to which we havo devoted our
selves." In these ringing words Fran
cis do Pressense, tho ablest nnd brav
est Journalist in France, defines the
programme of tho "Drcyfusards." May
their backbones keep stiff.
A lady animal trainer nt Philadel
phia was severely wounded the other
day by n leopard under her care. Tho
blood-letting features of entertain
ments of this kind aro not always
pleasant for tho trainer, but the con
shit ration shown by tho leopard in
(.hewing tho woman's arm at the be
ginning of the season so that she might
have full benefit of the freo advertis
ng thus obtained is worthy of a iu
bier animal. ,
Danish butter makers, it is said, Im
prove the quality of. their product by
feeding their cows Minitower cake.
This hint seems well worth a trial by
farmers In this country who endeavor
to enrich tho milk by keeping cows on
a diet of sour ensilage asd brewery
awtll.
The gloomy predictions of a Middle
town palmist caused a young girl of
that city to attempt suicide. This Is
a strong argument that palmistry
which Is not of the glad hand variety
should be discountenanced.
Now that Dreyfus has obtained his
pardon and a cablegram of congratu
lation from the Philadelphia Times,
there Is no reason why he should not,
like tho hero of the fairy tale, "live
In peace forever after."
Gruesome war pictures are seldom
seen in our Philadelphia exchanges
at present, but half-tone snap shots
and buzz-saw etchings of the National
exposition to a certain extent supply
tho demand.
The cut of Oom Paul's maxllllary
lambrequins ought to be convincing
refutation of the assertion that the
president of the Transvaal republic
,was not a native of Mauch Chunk.
A" roon as the stock of fireworks
has been exhausted In New York we
may expect Information that tho
Dewey celebration was a "vindica
tion" for the yellow Journals.
The public will doubtless be inter
ested to ascertain If the Esterhazy
challenges aro declared off with the
pardon of Dreyfus.
Now that reed birds are in season
the English sparrow will do well to
roost high.

Madame Antoinette Sterling, the con

through her magnificent volco was draw
ing thousands of natives to her meetings.
They had never seen that kind of a mis
sionary before, and had never heard n
volco llko hers. They were so pleased
with her work that they said to them
selves: "This Is a foreign woman guru, nnd for
fear of giving' offenso to us sho has
omitted to put her begging bowl outside
of her door for us to put in tho custom
ary contributions."
In India every guru or holy person car
ries a brass, wood or clay begging howl,
Into which tho devout put some small
sum of money. Mmlamn Sterling walked
out upon the veranda of her bungalow
eno morning nnd there, to her amaze
ment, found two beggings bowls. One. a
llttlo one, with two annns In it IntcmloJ
for the Pundltn, and one, an enormous
affair, containing n handsome sum of
nmins and rupees for herself.
The only explanation should could ever
