The Sun says:

The editor then declares, TOR it 10 the
editor talking now, that he will not con.
csal such facts from the pub ic. That,
right: He then tells US by Implication
that he cares very little for Psyson &
Cands-very little indeed. He says he
oWss them nothing, and that they owe him
nothing. which 10 doubtless consoling
to him these hard times. But he won I,

they need condemnation. That's right,
agais. Nor will the sun or the people
but condem nation 10 coming in pretty
lively from the people, and they hardly
know who 10 condemn. The people, be- il
known, have learned more about the road

gazing little on their own account, just
now.
The Sun says, neither that paper nor
she people will condemn Payson i 90.
until they need condemnation. So far as
shh denial applies to the Sun 1t 10 untrue.
Thst Psper has been condemning Payson
d Co., - we'll - the railroad company,
for . week, ignorantly. It has limited
Shortcomings without information, 1t has
condemned the contract made be.
tween Rowland and associates
and the company without having read
that without knowing whether
there WAS one, two or three contracts. 1t
has done this either because It was

We do not say that . better contract

The Board OF Education and the
View School House.

On careful inquiry we find that COM
paratively small proportion ofthe vacant
seats in cur public school houses are in
No. school building. Insofar as there
are vacancies there, owing TO the refusal
of the Board to promote both girls aud
boys to the highest department, we insist
that the Board is guilty Of extravaganza
in indulging an expensive and unreason-
able prejudice, but we are assured that If
this school were completely reorganized
60 as to fill the building to Its utmost
capacity, that The present school houses
could not possibly meet the demand with
out forcing children from the old city to
attend the suburban schools in Mellow.
ellvllle, Brandywine and south-side.
Since this is the case a new hose is Of
course needed, and we think on a more
careful consideration OF the matter, some
OF all of the members of Council voting
against authorizing the loan asked for by
the Board OF EdGcationlwill reverse their
action. There are, as we said on Satur-
day, some especial reasons for this, chief
amongst which is the fact that the city
has not yet paid over to the Board the
full amount of school tax collected, by
something over $1,000, nor is Immediately
able to do SO, while a very considerable
amount Of school tax remains to be col
lected yet. The Council instead Of beinl
in the position of a much importuneC
beneiactor toward the Board is rather il
the position of debtor to Il, ard i
scarcely becomes It while Withholding
from It its dues, to prohibit 1t from raisinl
by other means the money it actual!
needs.
While speaking Of this matter we Tisi
to protest against an erroneous and IN
founded inference that EVERY EVENING
considers the Board made up Of worthless
= and incompetent members. We hav
never failed TO express our regret that !
does contain such members, but the pro
portion Of them Is smaller now than it ha
, ever been since the number Of member
was so greatly enlarged, and the iaul
that there are any such men in
Hes with the people Of a few wards an
not with the respectable and scnsihl
members. The people who ought {
aard the Board against the intrusion {
: zach menihave been shamefully negliger
aitimes in their duty, but to their credit b
said that they did rise up last sprln
I'd make q most wholesome change

AMERIOA'S DUTY TO CUBA.
The Character Of Spanish Rule on the Island
Duty Of our State Department

AFTER abiding to the chances which
all men take who go to war, the New
York Egsniny Post of a recent date says
of the recent Spanish butchery In Cuba;
$50 much on general principles we can
say for their captors. The ground for
our complaint is the indecent haste with
which the executions were hurried
through. Nothing In our opinion can
excuse that. And II shows Ia Il clear
light, also, the precise character OF the
Spanish rule In Cuba. IL is an irrespOn-
bic military despotlsm. II Is military
mobocracy. The Spanish Government
to-day has but little more power in Cuba
than 10 Colorado. The island is virtually
In the hands Of prelorian guard, who
uominally acknowledge Spaln's authority
merely because thus they are able TO
transfer The responsibility for their own
Illegal and bloodthirsty acts from Havana
TO Madrid. 1t is reported that the
| spanish Government sent orders to delay
| this execution until the facts Of the case
could be learned at Madrid, but the
orders are said to have come too late. II
| thew had come earlier It would hare
made no difference. The Volunteers
know th1t the existing Government In
/ Spain with difficulty maiutaini itsell

| punishment can be inflicted on them FOL

purely military and irresponsible colonial
