If the average American citizen, even
be Of long descent, were asked to give.
at the moment sketch of the history
and services OF the fame usold ship Con-
stitution, the chances are a hundred to
one that he could not do it. Not one in
q hundred Of our recent college gradu-
atees could do it. Perhaps third Of the
bright eight, patriotic girls and boys Of the
United States history grade in our pub
lie schools might remember it.
We have even seen in New York pa

rect European news to its readers the
statement. that the.worels@@ So Don't give

to the American nation that at the be-

Madison and his cabinet were SO afraid
of England that they wanted to bring
all the! ships Of our little navy into a

the British could not capture them.
These were fine defenders Of the Aneri-

Captain Stewart, however, both Of

Madison and made such energetic pro

North Pole Up to Date.

Lieutenant Peary had scarcely landed
his big 100 ton meteorite at Brooklyn
dock when he gave out a statement Of
his plan for reaching the north pole in
the next two or three years. He declares
he never made the statement that he
would find the north pole next time or
die in the attempt. "But shall make
determined effort to find it,, he add
ed, land I shall have practically unlim-
tied funds at my command and five
years p time''
The strong probability is that he will
succeed in the attempt and that an
American foot will be the first to tread
the enchanted ground or ice as the
case may be, Of latitude 90. degrees
north of the. equator. It can scarcely
be that Andree is yet alive, or he would
have been heard from ere this.
Peary has selected 20 Eskimo couples,
men and women, strong young people,
to accompany his party on the little pic
mic to the north pole in 1898 or. 1899 or
1900. Eskimo men will not travel
without their wives. Peary's Eski-
mos belong to the tribe of arctic high
landers These will prepare during
this year food supplies for three
years trip, and next summer Peary
will join them, He believes it will
be possible to sail to Sherard Osborne
ford. Then by land he will take sup
plies for a permanent camp at the
most northerly point of land to be found
The work of making this permanent
supply camp, wherever it may be, vii
occupy all next summer. The attemp
to reach the pole will be made the sum

TO PROTECT HUNTERS

While the cutlery against foot ball is
going up, it is time to devote attention
to another dangerous amusement for
the inexperienced, and that is field
hunting. Stories are coming in of the
usual accidental shootings by hunters
of hunters and others. On the same
ground on which it is proposed to abol-
ish, prohibit and eliminate foot ball,
private shooting of animals would have
to be forbidden. A movement in that
direction has been started in the State
of Maine, in which some philanthro-
pists have drawn up a bill making it a
fenony to kill a. human being by acct

European nations pretend that they
are afraid, if the United States is per
mitted to intervene between Cuba and
Spain, their own colonial possessions in
America will all be threatened. They
profess to believe that the United States
wants to acquire the American colonies
of European nations. Such blank, black
ignorance is almost beyond enlighten-
ment. The nations Of Europe judge us
by themselves. Any one of them would
snatch at the chance to acquire Cuba
The United States, on the contrary, has
now all the territory she wants. If we
accept any additional, it will be as a
favor to those offering us the territory,
not to ourselves This isfthe case of
Hawaii. 1t would be the same with
any other bit Of foreign land. In the
interests Of humanity and of the prop
erty interests of American citizens in
Cuba the United States desires to see
the war ended. This involves no hostil-
ity to Spain, nor is there among the
American people any hostility to Spain.

MORE ABOUT c. S.

And now we are informed, and the
purpose is lily concealed, that civil
service is danger and menance, as it
will ''eventually result in the creation
of an Office; holding class with a life
tenure. y" AS party spoils are becom-
ing enormous and consequently tempt
ing, civil service rules are an irritating
trammel to those who manage party
interests appropriate and, distribute
the spoils, for parties now exist princi-
pally to gain and hold this wealth of
Office, and measure that will appoint
the best qualified, promote the able
and recognize worth and merit, is fatal
to the barter and trade, sell and de-
liver methods of modern partisan
politics. t,has been we'll said of civil
service that if it did create an aristoc-
racy OF Office holders, ''such an aristoc-
racy as would not be turned out, or put
in by party patronage and; not changed
with administrations, would serve both
political parties and be no aristocracy
at all. ''--MO}Yis Sun. -

LECTURE BEFORE MEMS CLUB.
Mr.. s. S. Greene Gives a Practical Talk
on Public Libraries.

on Public Libraries.
The Mems club of the United church
last evening was addressed by Mr.. S.
S. Greene of Worcester, Mass, on the
subject: what Public Library May
DO for City
Mr.. Greene is librarian of the public
library in Worcester, and in his address
he described how the library had been
made a source of great information
TO the community.
In the Worcester library people are
encouraged to come there to ask ques-
tons and get information. In one
year." said Mr.. Greene, Il found that
1000 persons had consulted me and
many curious questions were asked.
This means not that a librarian shall
know a great number of subjects, but
shall know how to point out the sources
from which the desired information can
be obtained. The idea is to make the
library a buerau of information. We
have in Worcester at our disposal in
the various libraries several hundred
thousand volumes, but in spite of this
large number we frequently find it
necessary to send to the libraries of
other cities for books.
'sThis access to the libraries of all
cities means that a man can sit down
here in New Haven land have the re-
sources of the country at his disposal
in answering his questions
1--WE also enlist the teachers in the
public schools to help get the children
interested in seeking information
through the library. We use 10000 vol
umes every year in our investigation
and assist everybody from little chill
dren up to the president of Clark uni
versity.
This is not cheap way of conduct
ing a library and it costs us about
S33, 900 a year for books, but we con-
slider that the money is well spent"
