Jess up. ACAREEIt well-rounded, useful and notable for Its high standards of personal and public honor was ended sud denly yesterday In the death of "Will iam H. Jcssup. Thev sense of loss is made very lteen by the unexpectedness of this summons; but consoling is the Knowledge that no amount of prepar ation could have added to the beautiful simplicity and purity of the dead jur ist's character or heightened the esteem in which his memory will be held. Though death came quickly ho was ready to meet it as he had been always ready to meet the duties and responsi bilities of life. -Villlani II. Jessup belonged to the class of fine, old-fashioned gentlemen. Of English ancestry, he Inherited anil personified the best of both Old and New Englund traditions. Vrom this clean stock he derived the high ideals which g.iidcd him safely through a varied career and kept him ever true to conscience and God. The Yale thor oughness of intellectual training built on this solid foundation of moral worth a beautiful superstructure of elliciency and with natural talent put him easily in the forefront of his environment. Leadership came to him wholly through merit. lie was not presumptuous or assertive; on the contrary, ho had modesty not without diffidence, lint duty was his unvarying watchword and he followed where it led. The story of his life, as briefly sketched in another place, misses many of the lovable personal traits which are difficult to picture in print, yet Is tin inspiring narrative and n most fitting memorial. It shows a character and n career which, with those of Its kind, form the strongest bulwark of our in stitutions. Our community and our country, though poorer since it closed, is yet rich in tho memory of it and in tho example which it places before the young. - An increase in Canada's population of ten per cent, in the past ten years is fair to middling. But Canada will never thrive as she should until she embraces manifest destiny underneath the Stars and Stripes. m Small Pox. --yiK KXISTENCI3 of smallpox 1 in Jicranton brings forward JL the necessity of dealing with It calmly. This disease Is now endemic in many communities, in both tho United States and England. Tho present visitation is of a mild type, -worse In Its scare than In fact. It yields rondlly to prompt nnd intelli gent treatment and may be almost en tirely forestalled by vaccination and a due regard for tho obvious require ments of sanitation. Thnt which Is especially to be guard ed against is carelessness leading to tho spread of Infection, lu the face of danger tho health olllcor has largo powers, which ho will undoubtedly uot hesltats lo use; hut 100,000 people dls trlbutedovej:tw,eiity .sqimre miles of teiTlt&j'y. una. representing nil grades and fypes coustltuto u problem In medical "safeguarding which no slnglo ofliecr and no government can solvo unaided, The physicians of our city must co-operate loyally and every cltl jsen show a willingness to comply with rnqull'oniems In behalf of tho public health, . .

The survivors of Hnrtranrt's division. Ninth corps, Army of tho Potomac, have issued an nppenl to the Republi can voters of Pennsylvania to aid In securing the nomination of Major latino 11.

Major Brown Was lu Ilnrtrunri's division In the Civil war, having enlisted when but sixteen years of age. lie has been president or the Ilartranft Division as sociation sltioe 1 sua, and It was largely through his elforts that the Ilartranft statue, one of the most beautiful bronze pieces of art In this country, was placed In tho slate capltol giounds at Harris burg. He represents one of thu admir able types of the American patriot, and his candidacy for promotion lu olllco meets with favornble response lit many portions of the commonwealth. Tersely Put by (leiicrnl Wood. X AX article which will appear In tomorrow's issue of that superior weekly journal, the Outlook, General Leonard Wood, the ac complished and efllclent chief repre sentative of our government In Cuba, explains clearly and tersely why- an Immediate grant of tariff concessions to Cuba Is necessary, both to Cubans and to ourselves. The substance of his argument is contained In tho following paragraph: "Wo have pledged ourselves to es tablish a stable government In Cuba, and the far-reaching provisions of the Piatt amendment have done much to make such" ft government possible; but governments are not maintained by legislative measures solely; mate rial resources are required. Cuba can not maintain a stable government, with all that it Implies, unless her In dustries are hi such condition as to produce sufficient with which to buy what she ueeils and maintain and build up a profitable trade with other countries. Cuba's ublllty to maintain a stable government under present economic conditions, in which she, hardly out of the ruin caused by the war, her great industries paralyzed, Is obliged to compete with the bounty-fed sugars of Europe and the highly pro tected sugars of the United States single-handed and without assistance, is open to grave doubt, and, if we leave her under the present tariff con ditions, we do so knowing that. It Is highly probable that she will not be able to maintain such a government as we have declared she shall estab lish and maintain. This is a position the United States cannot afford to take. It means the ruin of the great Industries on which the Island de pendsa ruin which will be .totally un necessary and benefit no one, and will destroy for all time tho good-will of the Cubans for us and their confidence In our good faith." We am not called upon, In General "Wood's opinion, to give to the Cuban people anything which would embar rass us. All that is necessary is a mod erate concession on sugar and tobacco, in exchange for similar concessions af fecting tho articles which we shall ex port lo Cuba. "Xo American industry 'is threatened by reasonable conces sions to Cuba," says General Wood, and he aptly adds: "And it cannot lie demonstrated that a reasonable con sideration for Cuba will be other than beneficial to the United States." tt has been Intimated in the discus sion of this question that the United States has done enough for Cuba; that the Cuban people are -an ungrateful lot, unfit to run a government of their own; that the Teller resolution tying our hands from annexing Cuba was a great mistake, etc. Some of these as sertions may be true and some partly true, but the fact remains that we are pledged before tho world lo start the Cubans off on a stable footing, and It would ill become us to grant with one hand and draw back with the other. Cuba's future must be attended to when it arrives, If such a solecism is nllowable. Just now the United States Is dealing with Cuba's present, and every consideration or national honor and good faith requires that our part in the launching or the now republic should be complete in its generosity. The report that Mrs, Roosevelt and the ladles of tho cabinet have been physically exhausted by tho social de mands of olllelul life may bo exagger ated. But It Is not to ho doubted that the strain Is wearing upon them. The pneo should be eased. Some doubts havo been expressed as lo whether tho movement of the Daugh ters of the Confederacy against "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been provoked by the sentiments of tho play or the eojnpaules that produco It. King Edward's prediction of tho early ending or Hid South African war has been umdo before. But It may bo true this time. There) must bo a limit to Boor endurance, And now tho story goes that l-hupm-or -William himself tlfluls of coming to visit tho United States. Thu nioro thu merrier. All friends are welcome. Now that tt is assured that Scrantoit Is to havu base ball again, tho lime Is none too short in which to prepare a vocabulary to uso on, the umpire, 11 Is a little strange (lint tho Daugh ters of thu Confederacy were so luto lu discovering thu character of "Undo Tom's Cabin," News concerning the popu's health. Is again couillctlng.- Let us hope this good old man's life may be spared many years. From all over the country come coin plaints thut people will not contribute to MgKinley memorial projects. Why?
