When Mayor Wurster had prepared his veto
message he Immediately gave 1t to the press.
Mayor Strong however. put paddock on his
by sending It 70 Albany with instructions that
the first news Of 1t should be given to the Iegis-
Iature What he gained by that It is impossible
TO see Surely no members Of the Legislature
would have complained II a lack Of courtesy to
that body II the memorandum had been promptly
made public On the other hand. every Senator
and Assemblyman. as we'll as the people gen.
orally. would have been glad to know as soon
as possible what the Mayors decision was. II
will strike most people that Mayor Munster pur-
sued the more sensible course.

The woe was felt by those who did not have a

1t Is a little funny that the alleged indiscre-
ton OF Christian minister should get two
eminent Jewish rabbies into public dispute.
But strange are the interlacings Of modern life
man does or says something and the chances
are about even whether it will hurt the feelings
Of some sporadic citizen OF Central Africa or his
neghbor next door.

But when 1t comes. let 1t come in rational

no matter how earnest friend Of consolidation
he may be, can want that. Consolidation
against the will of the people would be griev-
Gus wrong The people must have the deciding
voice, and the simplest thing is to give them

MEASURING LAND.

Make light and straight pole 16 l-2
feet in length, and mark feet and half
feet on one side, and on the opposite
side divide the 16 IL feet into spaces
representing the length of links in
the chain of a surveyor, says a good
authority. a surveyors chain is 66
feet in length, containing 100 links.
Hence pole 6l-2 feet long would
be equal TO Is links. A link is 1852
inches in length. With dividers one
can indicate rs equal spaces or links,
or one side of the pole in a few min
utes Let the pole be oiled or painted,
and be kept under shelter where It
will not spring by being exposed TO-
alternate rain and sunshine.
Now, in order to measure an acre
Of the plot by the number OF rods on
Tor the lengths of the pole on one side
Of land, multiply the number OF rods
on the end of the plot, and divide the
product by 100, the number Of square
rods in one acre. For example:
plot of so rods long and rods wide
Will DlSthN d1i Z. - plVs ~ 1870 tS--G
and A rods wide is equal 70 an acre.
A plot 20 rods long by rods wide VIII
embrace 100 square rods, equal to l
acre, A plot ~ IL rods on each side,
if the line run at right angles, VIII
embrace approximately a square acre
or 1856 square rods.
When a plot - not lined out AZ
right angles It (the square plot) VIII
not embrace as much ground although

New York Dec. 25.-Anolher i'm.
portant sep towards home govern
ment for Cuba has been taken by ths
Spanish authorities. Another nan
pIopoGed some months ago. but not OF
ecuted, provided for Cuban congress
OF thirty members of whom the queen
regent was to name fifteen and the
people OF Cuba elect fifteen. 1t Is now
proposed to do away with the part pro
viding for the naming OF members by
the queen regent, so that the entire
Cuban congress may be elected by the
Cuban people. This and entire con.
troll given to Cuba in making tarin
laws for the island will constitute the
essential features of the new plan OF
home rule. Thus far only the general
nature OF the proposed changes have
been made known to the officials In
Washington and draft of the revised
plan Of reforms has not been received
nor is it likely TO be completed until
after the complexion OF the Porto Rico
reforms, which will be signed by the
queen regent today as suitable
Christmas act. Under Spanish laws it
will be necessary submit the foregoing
changes to the cortes which is not now
in session and is not likely to meet
before February. The Christmas day
reforms for Porto Rico are closely al
lied with those for Cuba, being the
second section of the same law. They
give Porto Rico congress, the prov
inces of San Juan and Ponce ahernat-
ing every two years, in choosing mem
bers fer a term Of four years. The
congress is given control OF the whole
island The home government will
continue to be represented by a CAP.

~ G foregoing was the pan approved
by the cortes, but as in the case OF
Cuba, it is believed that 1t will be en-
larged to make the congress wholly
representative Of the people OF tho
island. The definite action of the
queen in signing the Porto Rico re-
forms today is believed by officials
here to be a prelude to similar action
for Cuba.

they knew how rapidly conservative
sentiment in the senate is growing.
| ara receiving letters from influential
senators every day of sympathy with
the movement in opposition to the
resolution, and / believe that the sem
timent in the country is rapidly veer-
ing that way. My intention is that the
business men and thinking men Of
the country are opposed to any steps
which are liable to plunge the country
into war, We have just gone through
a campaign In which we promised
peace to the country. Is it consistent
to present the incoming administra-
ton with war on the threshold of its
existence? True. there is an undesir-
able condition Of affairs in Cuba, but
| believe the reports are exaggerated
At any rate ii true that however
cruel the conduc of the Spainards is,
It finds its counterpart in the bravery
of the Cubans. 1t is their way of
fighting; they are different from us.
From whatever standpoint the ques-
ton is looked upon there is no excuse
in reason or precedent for the Unit "a
States to interfere in this insurrec-
ton -
