For p,,rer Politics.

fbr Futer foiittch
We quote with pleasure the follow.
ingoditorial, which appears in Fridays
issue OF the Morning News. under
the head of Honest Politics;"
The tendency Of tho times is unques.
tionably in the direction Of purer poll
tics, and Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt ex-
presses the growing sentiment when he
says that he has come to believe that
docency is good politics and that the
NEST practial politics in honest poll
tics. !" Ever since Mr.. Roosevelt first
embarked upon the sea OF public
affairs he has always held 10 the one
idea. The result has been the making
OF a record which should be an encour-
agement TO other young men to take
part in public affairs, but who have
been deferred by the knowledge that
practical politics. were not clean
politics.
AS a member Of the Legislature Of
New York as far back as 1882, Mr..
Roosevelt was known as rich young
man in politics and it was then that he
made reputation for honesty Of pur-
pose and sincerity of motive. As a
member Of the national Civil Service
Commission he won new laurels, and
now that he is at the head of genuine
reform police commission he finds that
he has made national reputation.
The safety Of our republican insti.
tutione depends upon the selection Of
men OF integrity to fill official positions.
The fact that bad men are placed in
Offices Of honor and responsibility is
not the fault of the men themselves.
1t is the fault of the people who have
the selection of their servants. Men
who insist that they would vote for His
Satanic Majesty il he happened to be
upon their party ticket are too numer-
Gus, yet we believe that such blind
fealty to party is growing lees and less
among men who stop TO think. Ii was
blind fealty TO the Democratic party
IN New York City which brought about
the condition of affairs revealed by the
Lexow committee. The people had
their eyes open and they forced a
change. The same eye-opening process
viii have to go on everywhere If honest
politics are to succeed so-called practi.
cal politics. But the tide has set in,
and there is much light ahead 1t will
not be the work Of a day, but the work
OF generation, which will bring about
an approximate approach to the politi.
cal millennium.
The appearance Of an editorial of
this character in the columns of the
Morning News" is the most cheering
symptom we have seen for a long time.
We are pleased that our neighbor
should see fit to commend purer poll
tics.
From the time of the rule of John
M. Dunn to the reign of Bach and Kit
finger. there has never been any de-
sire for purer politics in the manage
ment Of the Republican party of this
State. The News" declaration is
encouraging,

Popular Feeling for tho oubaus.

Two passages in Judge Wales charge
to the jury that acquitted the Cubans,
should be brought to the particu-
lar attention Of the general public.
The first is the emphatic statement he
saw fit TO make concerning the per-
formance Of his duty by the district
attorney. In this connection Judge
Wales said:
And here, gentlemen, it is proper to
observe that, whatever may be the i'm
mediate outcome of the present trial,
the prosecuting officer has done no
more than his duty in preferring these
charges and in bringing the defendants
before a jury 10 ascertain their guilt
or innocence. Not to have done so
would, perhaps, have amounted to
Official delinquency, for there were
prima facie, at least, strong grounds
for believing that the defendants had
subjected themselves to the penalties
of the Law.
Mr.. Vandegrift has been conducting
prosecution which ran counter to the
sympathies Of the people Of this com
munity. He is entitled 20 credit, not
censure, for pushing that prosecution
with all the power at his command. II
was his duty to carry forward the prose
cution unmoved in the slightest degree
by the exhibition of popular sympathy.
Every action of the government of
the United States towards the Cuban
insurrection has thus far been animated
by similar determination faithfully
to perform distasteful duty. Under
treaties with Spain and according to
international law, our government is
bound by certain obligations to the
King of Spain. Until our government
recognizes in "a formal way the right
eousness of the Cuban cause and deter
mines to extend the hand of assistance
to the patriots who are struggling for
Cuban Independence, it must perform
its obligations to Spain in faithful
and self-respecting way. The Presi-
dent and every representative of the
United States government under him
have accordingly done with exactness
all that should be done for friendly
power with an insurrection on its
hands. Not the least opening has been
given by the officials of the United
States for the King of Spain to lodge
a just complaint.

If the detectives in the employ of the

turing and bringing to trial in every
State in the Union a band of Cuban
tilibusters, the King of Spain will be
surprised at the results. By exhibit

Gently exhibited in Delaware, the char
acter of the men engaged in the Cuban
uprising, the detectives can arouse
public opinion. They can inform the
people all over the country about Cuban
affairs as thoroughly as they have in
formed Delawareans. When that is
done Uncle Sam will be ready to use
the toe of his boot to assist the King
of Spain to make graceful exit from
Cuba. BY all means let the detectives
arrange for a Cuban trial in every
State. The King Of Spain can save
money by paying them to do it; for in
six months he could afford to reduce
the number Of soldiers in his pay. The
war would be over r--and Cuba would
be free.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
How il Feels to Die.

Miss Abigail Dodge, ''Gail Hamilton
is slowly convalescing at her home in
Hamilton. Mass, aud, while she receives
no visitors at all, she has written an arti-
Gle entitled: "in the Valley OF the Shad-
ow of Death" II deals with the thoughts.
impressions and feelings of those who are
passing ''over the river
In the paper Miss Dodge says that she
was taken i'll last spring while locked i'm
a room i'm the Blaine mansion in Wash
ington. She felt that she was falling and
realized that something very serious had
seized her. Her most intense feeling was
the shock that her friends would receive
when they broke open the door and found
her dead upon the floor
She realized the situation when her
friends found her, and could hear them
as they spoke about her, although appar-
entity she WAS unconscious.
Then came a long blank, that lasted
how long she knew not. At times she
would partially recover consciousness
and wonder whether she were dead or
not. Her brothers, Stanwood and Brown
Dodge, both of whom are dead, one dy-
ing less than year ago, appeared to her
and conversed with naturalness. She
sometimes felt that she would like to
speak and inquire if she were really
i'm the other world, but found it impossi-
bic To enunciate syllables.

paper concludes, "it is blessed thing"

AWAY With the TOothpick.

A while ago, says = writer in the Hotel
Mail, sought to condemn the public use
of the napkin "a bib in hotel dining
rooms and restaurants. Now I'm going
to cry out against serving little quill
toothpicks in wine or egg glass afier
coffee or dessert. II is an abominsble
custom, Of which not few first-class
hotels have long been guilty. No lady or
gentleman ever takes one. The mere sug-
gestion OF such things is repulsive to re-
fined people. As we'll might toothbrushes
he served. The very thought of such
things incident to gastronomy is repel-
lent to the cultured person, and, although
some men aud women do take and use
them, il is all wrong. Why should hotels
furnish them? Why tempt people TO he
vulgar? Dear knows, we have enough
without expecting hotels to make recruits!
And such elegantly-drcssed ones, too,

Where the Republicans Can Elect All the
Commissioners and Auditors

Somerset, Indiana, and Blair county
each has more than two Republican votes
10 one Democratic. What's the matter
with the Republicans in those counties
next year electing all three of the county
Commissioners and the three Auditors?
The Constitution ofthe State says:
Three county Commissioners and three
county Auditors shall be elected in each
county where such officers are chosen, i'll
the year one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-five and every third year there
after; and in the election of said officers
each qualified elector shall vote for no
more than two persons, and the three
persons having the highest number of
votes shall be elected.
1t will be noticed il would not be
Illegal for the Republicans to elect all
three Commissioners and all three Audi
tors, and in the above counties they
could easily do so, without any elector
voting for more than two candidates for
either of the offices. Indeed, they could
cast enough votes TO elect four of each of
them, were so many to be elected, with
out any eiector voting for more than two
candidates for each oflice.-JohRst0,cH

reaohsr., Permanent certiao.ts,.

At the session of the state legislature
for the year lSgj much important school
legislation was enacted. Perhaps the
measure which will make the greatest
change during institute week is the law
regulating the granting of permanent
certificates. Heretofore a committee to
examine applicants for permanent certif-
icates has been elected annually by a
popular vote of the members of the in
stitute. Now, however, this committee
is appointed by the State Superintendent,
and holds office for three years. i per-
manent certificate issued by this COM
mittee is good in the county in which it
is issued until forfeited by incompetency
or improper conduct, and is of like virtue
i'm any other county of the state if endors-
ed by the superintendent thereof after
one years trial. The law requires that
the members of this committee must be
.'praetical teachers holding a valid teach
er's certificate" There is no provision
made for their compensation.

Few Florida Oranges.

Indications point to an almost complete
failure of the Florida orange crop this
year. \ local fruit dealer says the Flori-
da crop will not be over 10000 boxes
whereas an average crop is in the neigh
borhood of 5,0J0,0e1 boxes.
The cause of the small yield was the
frost last January, which killed many
fruit trees of all kinds throughout Flori-
da. The scarcity of oranges will cause a
temporary rise in the price until the crops
from other sections arrive in the market
The Jamaica orange will arrive soon af-
ter the holidays. Later we will get the
fruit from Sicily, from Valencia, Spain,
and finally from California.
The freight charges and duties on the
foreign products will serve, however, to
keep the prices at a slight advance over
those of former years.
