Police Protection in the s.surb..

The plea of property-owners representinp
one OF the popuious suburban sections of
the District for more adequate police pro-
tection deserves attention. The loc Il police
1ofce Is too small for safety and 1t is diff
hcui to give to all parts the degree of pro-
lection that should be granted But IL
Is particularly important that personal
properly in the suburbs should be made
mere secure by providing a larger patrol
at night. Residences in these sections
are more exposed to danger than those
IN the city. where the houses are placed
close together and in a measure protect
each other. But there is yet another rea-
son why these suburbs, now the most ac-
lively developing sections of the District,
deserve special consideration Commits
sfoner Wight made the point at the hearing
given the other day to the petitioninG citi-
zehs. asserting that it is to the advantage
or the whole District that these outlying
properties should be made safe. Prorec-
ton means value. If 1t be assured that
residents in the suburbs will be given equal
consideration with those Of the city proper
there will be steady increase in the de-
mand for such properties, and lands that
rave hitherto been comparatively unre-
mInerative will be improved, attracting
residents and norae-buiiders. and will be-
come source of greater income TO the
District as well as to their owners
This process does not de;ract from the
value of the city property. but rather tends
to equalize the burden of taxation. Thus
direct connection may be disclosed be-
tween the apparently small matter of police
protection and general prosperity. Under
these circumstances 1t is Lighly desirable
that the request Of the citizens should be
promptly granted. and Congress should
be made to realize tie need of additional
appropriations for police purposes. 10 keep
pace with the great spread of the residence
section.

because no one in authority would arrest

War. of course. exists in Cuba. and has
been going on for over two years. Spain's
denials have all been contradfcted by her
measures for restoring her authority there.
She has sent an army Of 100000 men to the
island. putting them first under the con-
troll of Gen. Campos and then under the
control of Gen. Weyler. her two foremost
soldiers She has spent millions Of dollars
in supporting her military establishment

finally. she is constantly nudging this gov
ernmenf about a strict observance of the
neutrality laws. Everything she has done

war in Cuba And yet She and those who
speak for her in this country insist that
mere fnsurrection explains the whole
matter!
1t Is time for this humbug to be formally
exploded. That 1t prevailed with Mr.
Cleveland may not be difficult Of explana-
ton Having neglected his one opportunity
to study war here at home, Mr.. Cleveland
was dull. it may be said, on the war side.
Being unable to combat the Spanish con-
tention on the subject, he accepted it and
governed his course accordingly. But Mr.
Mckinley. like Gen. Lee, knows what war
Is He has participated in 1t. and can tell
Its bloody fruits at distance. The spe-

A WARLikE MISSIONARY,
He Didn't believe In Cursing the
Enemy

He Didn't Believe in Cursing the
Enemy.
That the warrior spirit is not con-
fined to soldiers is clearly shown by a
story Of a missionary chaplain in Natal,
Rev. George Smith. Mr.. Smith had
been temporarily attached to the army
for the period of the campaign, and dur
ing the whole Of the long and fierce
Zulu attack right CALAMITY he played
his part in tending the sick, giving aid
to the wounded and comforting the
dying.
No one had a greater share Of danger
than he, and no one, says writer in
Blackwood's Magazine, showed more
soldierly example Of treating that dam
ger with calm indifference. Not only
did he perform the duties of his office,
but as every man who could handle a
rife was sorely needed to defend the
parapet, Mr.. Smith did essential service
by going round the various posts and
distributing reserve cartridges.
A good story went round the army in
South Africa bearing on the spirit Of
his professional conduct on one occa-
sion.
One Of the men, in the heat and ex-
element Of battle, was cursing his en-
emies and using most profane Ian
guage. The chaplain, coming behind.
heard his words, and said:
You should not speak like that, my
friend. Don't curse them . Then, show
ing g packet of cartridge into hishand:
Shoot them! shoot them!''

In Many Respects They Are Doing
Better Work Than the Larger.
There are q few rilinga facts about
the small American college, writes Ed
ward W.Bok in Ladies Home Journal.
One striking fact is that 60 per cent.
of the brainiest Americans Nho have
risen to prominence and success are.
graduates OF colleges whose names are
scarcely known outside Of their own
states. It's a fact, also, that during the
past ten years the maj ority Of the new
and best methods of learning have
emanated from the smaller colleges,
and have been adopted later by the
larger ones. Because a college happens
to be unknown 200 miles from the place
Of its location does not always mean.
that the colleges not worthy Of wider
repute. The fact cannot be disputed
that the most direct teaching, and
necessarily the teaching most produc-
tive of good results, is being done in
the smaller American colleges The.
names Of these colleges may not be IA
miliar to the MAJ ority Of people, but
that makes them none the less worthy
places of learning. The larger colleges
are questionably good. But there.
are smaller colleges just as. good, and,
in some respects, better. Some Of the
finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties of the smaller institu-
lions of learning. Young girls or.
