AcconllriR to Controller Howell's lat est financial stntetnent, unpaid Judg ments are liaiiKlng like mill atones around the city's neck to the sum of $83,000. The city has to pay 6 per cent., or nearly $.",000 a year, Interest on those judgments, and the Interest neither sleeps nor eats. "What thought Is lie-Ins given to the subject of cancel ing those obligations? Counting the Cost. T "Iin WAR with Spain cost the united Stales directly, in money withdrawn from the national treasury to meet expenses connected with and im mediately resultant from it, J3SS,000,000, according to a memorandum prepared by the chief officer of the division of bookkeeping and warrants of the treasury department. This sum includes the national defense fund, the expenses of the Paris peace commission and the $20,000,000 paid to Spain for the Philippines, but does not include the pensions grow ing out of the war nor the cost of pacifying the Philippines, both of which Items are yet incomplete. Perhaps In all, half a billion dollars would bo n fair estimate of the gross :ost of the war to the victorious na tion. The question which sugegsts itself in connection with this information is, "Was it worth the cost?" And the an swer will vary In accordance with varying points of view. The senti mentally Inclined will point to the enormous Impetus given by the war 'o American prestige ns evidence In favor of an affirmative judgment. This impetus is Incalculable; and its money value Is beyond appraisal. Men with n more pinetlcal turn of mind will weigh in the balance against the half i ot expended cash the profits Cng and to come In consequence lie new markets opened by the war Kt American enterprise. This ac count Is hardly appreciable yet; what if will be In years to come no man can sny, but It seems destined to be large. There are other gains, as, for ln stanc, the uplift which It has given to American public opinion; the broaJoned horizon, the quickened na tional conscience, the invigorated moral energy of our better people, dis cernible In every direction, nut when all Is said, the fact remnlns that the jvar came on by virtue of irresistible fcjrces and must be accepted for good tad as an Inevocable fact. To the re let the gaze bo now directed; tie war Is history. jis It that we do not occasionally some foreign warship striking harted reef or rock? AS'hy the American navy appear to Is a monopoly of these mlsfor- INota Sure Thing. IIOSB WHO believe that the senate for the next six years Is bound to be safely Repub lican must not overlook the es in the opposite direction, the Republican senators frms will expire on March 3, the following: Perkins, of la, Mason, of Illinois; Falr- lof Indiana. Deboe. of Ken- I.Velllngton, of Maryland; Piatt "'York, Prltehard, ot North It llnnsbrpugh, of North Da- 'Qcnker, of Ohio, and Kyle, of bafcota. Three of these, namely, W Wellington and Prltehard, are naby certain to be succeeded by Ubcrats, which would give a change Llx votes. Rut there are uncertain- Las' to the other successions which give an Incentive to Republi can efforts, 'in, Indiana, as the New York Tribune points out, only one Republican (Ben jamin Harrison) was elected to the united States senate between 1875 and J1837, nnd Ip that entire period of twen ty-two years both senatorshlps were heliTv'uy Democrats for twenty years vvltlj only one break of two years' dur- I atlon. It has been only since March 4, IS99, that both seats have been occu- pjed by Republicans, since Joseph K. Mclonata was elected to succeed Dan- lej Pratt In 1875. From 1869 to 1897, a ptrlod of twenty-eight years, one of the Ohio seats In the United States sfnate was occupied by a Democrat, id from 1876 to 1S31 both of them pre so occupied, It haB been only )r.e the beginning of tho present ad- klstratlon that both have been occu- hv Ttennlillrnnn nlnen tho recon- fction period. From 1876 io899 the ocrats neia one or me wew jersey s In the senate, and for four years of them were .80 held. For the flrst time in a qunrter of a century Republicans now hold both of the scnatorships from that state. From lS'Jl to 1S99 New York was represented In the senate by two renmcrnts for four years and by one Republican and one Democrat for the rest of the period. From this review of what has been It Is easy to perceive that the election of Uryan by Mutes not meant as an Indorsement of his financial views would bu very likely to enable him to put those views) Into law. The country cannot afford such a risk. It a fire like that at Hoboken had been described in the pages ot llctlon It would have been considered incred ible. That among vessels safe In port and surrounded on three sides by water and on the land side by the pro tective apparatus of a modern city there should occur, beginning In day time, such n destruction of property nnd life as Is narrated In our news dis patches Is nn ostonlshlng commentary upon the uncertainties of life. It Is u matter for Investigation. Such n scene must never be repeated. An Offset to Neely. T "TTHE IDEA of btinglng Cuba's 1,000 native school teachers to the United States for a period of Instruction ut Har vard and a personal study of the American people and their ways orig inated with Alexis K. Frye, the Har vard man who H In charge of Cuba's educational machinery. Some of the teachers have already arrived at Uos ton nnd the others are on tho way. There are five transports full of them. When Mr. Frye took hold of the task of forming a public school system In Cuba there was not a school house In the island, as Americans understand the word, nor a text-book nor an edu cational pppllance. More than thai, there was not even a general school law, nor a couise of study, nor a sys tem of examination of teachers. Kvery thins had to be organized from the ground up. Almost a year after the beginning of the American occupation, while there had been a nominal en rollment of 40,000 pupils, these defici encies existed unremedied; nnd the only public Instruction worthy of the name was limited to Havana and San tiago. It was at this point that Mr. Frye Intervened, drafted a school law, framed a course of study and began to put the tangled ends together. In a letter to the Washington Star, written at Havana by Geo: go Reno, some of Mr. Frye's troubles .ind victories are described In readable fashion. "At the beginning," says this corre spondent, "he met with violent oppo sition on the part of the Cubans. They fancied that his sole object In estab lishing a public school system, avow edly based on that of the United States, was to unduly 'Americanize' the Cubans and further annexation. This teport ran like wildfire all over the Island; the newspapers broke out In virulent and scathing editorials, and not n day passed that General Wood was not re quested to discharge this purveyor of pernicious education. Washington was besieged with protests and letters and petitions against the new system poured In fiom nil sources for weeks. During that period Mr. Frye was the most cordially hated Ameilcan on the Island. Then the bubble of opposition collapsed and the reaction set In. To day the flood tide of native enthusi asm over Mr. Frye nnd his wonderful work Is at Its height, the present ap preciation of him being commensurate with the abuse which was heaped on his head at flist. The reversion ot popular feeling was natuinl enough. Mr. Frye simply went steadily ahead. receiving with smiling cheet fulness all w ho came into his olllce to denounce him and unfailingly exptesslng his faith In the Cuban people when they should undo: stand his real motives. Above all, he never turned aside to notice tho tonent of vltupei atlon that filled the columns of the papers nil over the island. Today the active work of carrying on and perfecting the new school system Is largely in the Cubans' own hands. "There nio now 3,079 schools on fie Island, with about 110,000 school chil dren em oiled; over half a million dol lars' worth of the most modern school furnltuie has been put chased and sent to tho different municipalities; the pupils of the Island are furnished ivlth books and all necessary school supplies free of charge; night schools for adults are about to be established, and a plan has been formulated for a teachers' normal s-chool on the Island dining th summer months for the benefit of those who cannot Join the excursion to the United States. Paitlcular stress should be laid upon the pait the natives ate taking In the work. Thus, the teach ers nre Cubans, boards of education are made up of Cubans, the alcalde, or mayor, in each town being ex-otllclo a member of the board, and each munici pality conducting Its own nffalrs ex clusively. This 1ms conti United to great and pardonable pride on their part, and they nre doing all within their power to make It a success. Local ambition In many cases runs high, as Instanced by tho alcalde who went to General Wood and asked that a sys tem of municipal taxation might be es tablished In his town, which, he said, desired to make Its own appropriation for the school fund and be self-supporting, Instead of being dependent on tho island reenues. This request Gen eral Wood was obliged to refuse, us the time for municipal taxation bus not yet quite arrived, and when It does tho system must necessarily be uniform, but the case deserves to go on record." Mr. Frye Is inclined to give the credit for these results to the spontaneous and universal assistance which the Cubans have given since they have learned to understand the Import of the system: but It would be unjust not to recognize his share In tho work. In the first place he volunteered to serve for five yeors In tho Philippines with out pay. When ho was sent to Cuba General Brooko wanted to allow him $5,000 a year Balary. He refused to ac cept more than $2,500 and this money he regularly contributes to the cause. Ha has worked night and day with phenomenal energy and patience and Is, next to General Wood, the most popular ,A,merlean on the Island. In contrast with Americans of the Ncely type tho examples of men like Pro fessor Frye merit equal publicity but theirs Is tho kind of work less likely to be exploited In print. The necessity which compels our gov ernment to solicit from Russia the use of the Russian dock facilities at Port Arthur for the benefit of the wounded Oregon points to the need of a first clnss dry dock In the Philippines, At this time, when our relations with Rus sia arc friendly, tho Port Arthur dock Is fortunately open; but the United States must guard against an Indefi nite continuation of such dependence. Colonel Roosevelt's good Judgment Is shown In his refusal to authorize a Rough Rider campaign In his behaK The memory of his military exploits will not bo forgotten but the position for which he Is a candidate Is pre-em'-nently civil and It Is fitting that thtoughout tho campaign the panoply of war should retire Into the back ground. The legislative committee of tho state grange recently signalized its conversion to tho Wanamaker cause by resolving that the Republican far mers of Pennsylvania must bolt their party ticket this year and support fusion candidates for the legislature. Hut will they do It? An uprising of Indians In tho Rainy River district of Minnesota Is reported. It will be put down without the con sent of the governed. China's Growing Foreign Trade The foreign trade of China In 1S90 and espe cially the eifect of the railways upon business in I lie diction where the present disturbances arc In progress, is dlsuissul In the annual report of tho Imperial Customs Senlco of that country, ust iccclcd liy the Treasury Rurtju of Statis tics. The following arc extracts from the re port; o The foreign trade of Clilni during the jear ISrtO nns rlitracteiireil ly a rinnrkablc development, nnd merchant, both foreign and native, rmde handsome profits in almost every branch, The political situation, although still uniettled, gave rise to no immediate fears; exchange remained mnaikdily frlcadj ; the rice crop was abundant; tho spring neither during tho critical period for the silk worms was unusmlly favorable; and except fur ,i rei rudecenee of piracy on the West river there were no disturbances to check tbet trade. The gratifying result was that the jear hc.it all previous lecords and showed an advance without precedent. The total trade was valued at haikvvan taels 400,513,2'iS, a rise of haiknan laels M.'ilii.isnj on Is'il, and more than double the figures for lS'HI. Tho internal trade of the country was alvi unusually brisk, and the im portant cliinges which will be brought about by the extension of rallvvajs have already been proved. Xewehwang and Tien Tidn have prompt ly responded to the stimulus of better means of communication, and the trade at these ports has Icapiil forward, although the foimiT suffered fiom a severe outbreak of plague. It is found that immediately trains begin to run districts through which there wis comparatively little traltlr, sueli as I'aoting nnd Pekln, suddenly commence to hum with life .and activity, and there springs up a flourishing trade which was formerly imdicamt of and Impossible for want of cheap tramport. Tho Itus-din line l.as been completed as fir north as Moukden, and the ex traordinary richness of Manchuria will soon bo come evident. The I.u Han railway, from Pekin tu Hankow, makes sleailv progress. Within sIt mouths it is expected that trains will be run ning as far south as Cbiiigtlug. o As what was writtm last jear concerning riiim's foreign trade was critic iveil in some qmrters as too optlmi-tie, it mav be vvtll to point out tli.it the report dealt with the condi tion and prospects of the commerce as affecting Chini's national Interests and prosperity, and not from the point of view of the Indlviduil foreign merchants, who finds the volume of trade too restricted for the amount of competition en countered. It is true that the tiade, when the possibilities are considered, is of smill dimen sions, but the future is distinctly bright, if the results to be expected fiom the coming rall vvajs are calculited. These Chinese, from the highest to the? lowest, are traders by instinct and are prompt to take advantage of every op portunity of profit. To form an idea of what future prospects ares it is fair to make a com pirison with India. The areas of the two em pires are almost identical and their products very similar. Hut Chlin has a larger, a more in indiistilous and more intelligent population; while, on the whole, the country Is probably more fertile and possesses greater mineral re souiees. In the former country trade is assisted by gooil loads, rallwajs and lightness er ab sence of taxation: In the latter, at present, it is h impend by directly opposite conditions Th result is that the exports from India .Ire worth three times the exports from Chlni. With equal oppoitunities, which the building of railways mid opening of mines will bring about, this disirepamy should disappear. The jear ISM has shown in a striking manner what an advance Is nnd" when circumstances are propitious. As will be shown later, the year was favorable to exports, and we have ns a result to record In each direction e highest figures ever reached. o The net value of the Import trade was haikwan taels 2fll,748,4V. being an advance of haikwan taels !),K'0.122 over the previous jear, and double- the figures for 1("10. Opium of ail kinds lumped from 41,785 to .V,100 piculs and realized most remunerative prices, lloth Importers and native dealeis made large profits. The reason for this remarkable Increase in a trade whieli has been steadily djing out was probably due to bad crops of the native drug. The niine.e government has been warned of the evils which are resulting from the Improper use of this eliug, and steps are now being taken to have the importation restricted. o The trade In cotton goods, which has remained practically stationary for three vcars, made a great advance, the value having risen from haik wan taels 77,('dR,R'2l to haikwan taels ini.4D3.OI4. It would be tedious to (urtlciilirlze all the gains, which will be found on reference to the table of imports, where It will be seen that every aithlc mentioned, witii the exception of grey shirtings (Insignificant elecrease), T-cloths, Kngllsh and Dutch Jeans and Kngllsh jam, was Imported In quantities exceeding the figures for ISfii. As regards the falling off In T-clothi, It Is explained that their place is being taken by what are generally known in the trade as "con tine utlls," wlih li are included in our returns under the heading of sheetings. It will be ob served that 1'nglUh sheetings showed an ad vance from S23,3fifl to 7fV),7e)2 pieces, and the In crease must be ascribed partly to "continentals" and partly to the higher prices which have pie xallcd In the United btates. American sheetings rose again, from 2,4S.1,U91 to 3,075,!M pieces. cs Srcaklng (-.morally, the jear commenced with small stocks on hand, and demand was brisk A short cotton crop throughout the world gradu ally raised prices, but contracts for delivery in China were made so far in advance that Import ers were aide to lay down their goods at prices which realized handsome profits. Towards the close of the jear higher prices tended to check business, and It Is possible that importers may have to face some elelsy In disposing of the Im portations which arrive at dearer rates. The Katuie most v.-crthy of note was tho continued advance ot American and Japanese goods, the latter especially showing very rapid develop ment. The class of white shirtings now Imported Is greatly superior to what came formerly, the people demanding a better article. The Importa tion of sundries rose In value from haikwan taels W,3M,f! to haikwan taels 111,37,6'J7, and It Is Interesting to notice the share in this increase taken by articles showing progress In wraith and a desire for comfort and luxury. Candles, cigars ami cigarettes, clocks and watches, flour, window glass, lamps, matches, needles, perfumery, soap, sugar and umbrellas were all purchased more (mb.

LITERARY GOSSIP. The Century nagazine announces that It his "oiscnvercel" (think of the Century doing a thing so rash) a new American romantic writer of preat promise, Ml" Ilertha Itunkle. In the Au gust number of that nugazlne Miss Itunkle, who is a New orker born and bred to literary work, Is to ojien a serial story ot "intense and gallop ing action," to be", entitled "The Helmet of Naverre." "The scene," we arc told, "is laid In Paris during the Investment of the cltj bj Henry of Navarre, and occupied but four daj-s of the week preceding Henri's entry to give his formal adherence to the Catholic church. The authors remarkable fertility of invention crowds the story full of plot and sub-plot, natural to the violent times, to the clash of faiths and to" the rivalrj for the hand of a court bcautj' known as 'Iho Itnso of Lorraine.' One of the e liar actcrs is the king. The story moves on rapidlj from beginning to end, without doubling on Its track, making a series of admirable scenes. In brief, 'The Helmet of Navarre' is a fresh, en gaging, and well-sustained addition to romantic fiction." Notwithstanding his active and at times tu multuous life Colonel Itoosevelt has been a vol uminous author.
