CONDITIONS:

-ton, San Francisco and other large cities.
Congress has been asked repeatedly to make
an Appropriation for this purpose and has
so far failed to do so. But there are
enough wealthy men in Washington to CON
struct swimming baths which would he cred
liable to the National Capital.
The outlay for the erection of
the necessary buildings woulu be oonpara-
lively small. Ten thousand dollars would
probably suffice, and the interest OF $20,-
900 would keep the place in repair and
pay the salaries OF the attendants. The
location for the free baths is adlnirLble, the
river in this vicinity is well adapted 10 the
purpose. All that is needed is capital TO
utilize both properly, and the presentation
of these facts may, it is hoped, STIMULATE
some of our moneyed men TO become public
benefactoTs in the direction Indicated.

The Indignation aroused throughout the

most efficient and best of humauity's bene
factors-earnest women workers-have
entered a protest: the Commissioners have
taken the matter in hand, and the chiefsof
police has issued a tacit order to have the
abuse stopped. Let us hope that this ap-
parent movement on the part OF the author

Unfortunately for this community those
In authority believe it best TO permit the
most beautiful. desirable and what should

TO be defiled with sepulchres OF lost souls.
They are there by sufferance, in violation
OF law. decency, good example and public
morals. No selfrespecting person dare
pass through that polluted section for fear
OF scandal, and it's existence has filled
many household with closet skeletons.
It's very atmosphere is freighted with sinful
thoughts and the poison OF immoral deeds,
and why il should be allowed to disgrace
our National Capital not even those in
power can satisfactorily answer.
IL such debaucheries are necessary, in

THE CUBAN NsURRECTIoN

Advices from Cuba indicate a lack OF
discipline, organization and proper equip
meut among the insurrectionists. This
is to be deplored, for American sympathy
is with them, aud their success would meet
our general approval. But like the growth
of all attempts TO overthrow existing
= forms of government, the Cuban rebellion
must first win its strength among the better
element before it can succeed. This it has
not yet accomplished.
3 The recent declaration of the Spanish
comma nder, Gen. Campos, that Spain
would exhaust her last resources before
allowing Cuba TO go out of her possession,
either by purchase or conquest, is charac-
teristic Spanish bombast. Much as Spain
may dislike to part with Cuba, the time
is not far distant when the little island
will set up a government for itself. Sol
diers aud military despotism are most ex-
celleut breeders of patriotic sentiment,
and while Spain may be able to bind the
bauds of Cubans with these relics of auto
cratic government, she cannot restrain
their hearts, and a way will be found to
freedom from Spanish domination.
While American sympathy is with the
Cubans in their struggle for liberty, it
would be an act of International injustice
tointerfere in their behalf. TheUnited States
states is under obligations to other ma
tions not to meddle with foreign affairs,
and it is a duty we owe TO ourselves to
live in peace with all the world. Thena nagain,
the Cubans would not be capable of sue
cessful self-government until the ordeal
of an independence won by their own ef.
forts has been safely undergone.
When a Cuban republic is maintained
again the protests of Spain the United States
will be its most earnest friend and well
wisher Our commercial relations with
Cuba are such as make this friendship
necessary. Through our efforts and good
will Cuba can prosper. From her trade the
United States viii profit.

IDENr1FIcArIoN OF CRIMINALS.

Il
1t is quite probable that the BerliIlon
system OF anthropometrie Identification Of
criminals viii soon be vital part OF the
police administration in every considerable
city OF the Union. One of the chiefs
pointed out in the convention which
has been in session here, that the
chief obstacle to its introduction and
use in this country had been removed, in
that two of the Chicago police officials
have studied it under Bertillon's personal
direction and can now instruct the police
authorities OF all cities desiring to en-
piOy it.
The Bertillon system proceeds upon
scientific principles. It's result is an
anatomical analysis, a measurement of the
individual which embraces not only every
part Of that body, but every portion Of that
part In taking the measurement OF a
criniinai's hand, for instance, not only the
dimensions or the whole hand are noted, but
the length and shape of every finger and
every joint Each malfounation or pc
cHIiarity isputdOwn, no matter how trifling,
and when the process is flushed, so accurate
O description of the criminal has been
obained that no disguise, however
ingenious. viii serve him.
These descriptions are furnished all
police bureaus and the result is that the
CRIMINALS personality is the surest means
OF his Identification. Bertillou's system
le9yes nothing to chance. 1t is as exact a
mechanism as a clock.

AGAIN THE INCOME TAX.

The Supreme Court has adopted such ex-
traordinary precautions against a prema-
ture announcement of its decision on the
income tax that speculation as to the
result cannot be relied upon. Those best
informed believe that the law will be de-
clared unconstitutional, result that the
general public would heartily indorse.
Since the original law has been emascu
lated and its best features declared con-
trary to the principles of our Constitu-
tion but few want the remainder OF the
law enforced. No reasonable person de-
sires to tax producers for the benefit of
wealthy drones, and that is precisely what
the amended income tax would do.
Just taxation should he the first prin-
ciple of government. Laws that levy on
one class to the exclusion of another are
unjust and should not exist. People to
prosper according to their merits should
bear the burden of taxation, not equally,
s, but in proportion to their ability to pay.
Rich persons who rent houses or own
bonds should not be exempted, while the
energetic builders of fortunes are required
to divide their incomes. The income tax,
as it was butchered and misjudged by the
former decision of the Supreme Court, was
taxation, and it should be repealed.

One of Mr.. Gus LansbuTgh's stories Tues
daylight was of a very wealthy Philadelphia
merchant, who was noted for the shah
niness of his attire, as well as for bis high
position in the commercial world. AT
watering places he would apologize to his
friends for his appearance by saying that no
one there except themselves knew him; in
Philadelphia he justified himself by the
statement that as everybody knew him the
quality or age OF his clothes mattered little.
He believed that expenditure for dress was
a waste of good money. His sons, however,
did not like this condition of affairs, and
they ordered for him a $50 overcoat, tell
ing him IL cost only $I2.50. The old
man was proud OF his great bargain. and
was one day boasting of it to friend.
The latter admired il very much, saying it
would Just fit him, and he would give SIG
for it. The bargain was closed, the mer-
chant gleefuIly pocketing what he consid-
cred an easily-made 81. 90. The sons never
bought him another overcoat.

INTERNATIoNAL BIMBTALLIsM

INTERN ATIONAL BIMETALLISM.
A recent cablegram announces that the
German government is considering prop
osition to invite the prominent CONNER
cial nations to an international monetary
conference, the purpose of which shall be
to bring about bimetallism at some uniyer-
sal and fixed ratio. Ii is also stated that
the sentiment in favor of such proposition
is growing, and that all countries except
England are about ready to make an inter
national agreement.
International bimetallism would solve
the financial problem and stop further agi-
tatiOn on this much abused subject. AT
present the money OF one nation win not
pass current in another, and international
business transactions must be conducted
through the use of gold as a marketable
commodity. Goods purchased TO be shipped
to another country are settled for primarily
with gold at so much per ounce, although
the payment is made by draft or check
through some banking house having for
eign correspondents.
Through the adoption OF an universal
gold and silver money, where a fixed ratio
governed, shipments OF bullion to settle
balances OF trade could be avoided. A
certified check, bank draft or money order
from any recognized authority would be
negotiable in all countries, ana tue currency
end coin OF one nation would be inter
ohangeable or good for trade purposes in
another Our present cumbersome and in-
convenient method of shipping gold TO and
from one national treasury To another would
be done away with, and what is better
than all. the financial crank would be de-
prived OF his time worn theme OF monetary
