around the city's neck to the sum of
$83,000. The city has to pay 6 per

Counting the Cost.

"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money withdrawn from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

count Is hardly appreciable yet; what

J1837, nnd Ip that entire period of twen
ty-two years both senatorshlps were

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

"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.

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

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. The following is a list of his
literary works and elates of their publication:
"Naval War of 1612" (ISsj).
"Life ot Thomas 11. Denton" (lSSf,).

Itoosevelt considtis "The Winning of the West"

liven to the chronic theater-goeis of long ex
perience, it may be a surprise to leain that one
of the very oldest actois In point ot service,
still before the public, Is Mr. Stuirt Itobson.
Long association with jouthful rob-n, and the
freshness and vigor of his portravals make it
difficult for ui to realize that bis public caieer

July number of Hverjbody's Magazine appears
the first instalment of a scries of ai tides by Mr.
Itobson in the nature of nn autublographj, and
entitled "The Memories of Fifty Yens " These

tion was first directed to
R-BP-AS TABULES
by a brother doctor while on a visit to the National Capi

adopted them as a part of my medical armormentarium.
They have given great satisfaction and in one case where
the stomach was infected by large stomach worms, the
Tabules destroyed the worms and expelled them, greatly
to my surprise and also to the permanent relief of my
natient "
