The Garbage Middle Once More.

The disadvantages of long contracts be-

Germs for the performance of necessary
public works are made manifest under such
circumstances as those just developing in

to burn the city's refuse has Just been pro-

of a long controversy over crematories and
methods that can not fail tc reduce the
efficiency of the service. Just at this sea-
son the prospect is far from savory or
pleasant. The greatest misfortune is that
the pending contract does not expire until
July l, 1890. or more than three years
hence. As The Star has freGuel .tly point ed
out the Commissioners have in the past
HAD frequent and ample opportunities to
annul this contract on the ground of non
performance and inefficiency. This work is
of a character that lends itself readily to
municipal performance. 1t is best done by
the city itself. 1t is most scientifically
done. too. by another method than that
adopted here. namely by reduction instead
OF cremation. 1t is apparent that nothing
reformatory can be done while this bind
ing contract still has force, but meantime 1t
may be profitable to reflect upon the les

What is this crisis at Madrid but an ad-

The Minority's Fair Course.

II rnust he admitted that the democratic
leaders in the Senate are carrying them
selves with a great deal of fairness in this
tariff debate. They are playing no politics.
They are consuming only SO much time as
is necessary to make the record clear on
the different schedules. and denne their
own Individual positions In the premises
This Is entirely legitimate. and no reason
able complaint can be made. There mas not
been in recent years better eAnlDitlon
in the Senate of n suhordination of mere
partisa nshp to the pressing necessities or
public business.
The exhibition Is SO praiseworthy, indeed,
1. gives rise to the regret that the spirit
was not invoked sooner by the republicans.
There is nothing in the amended Senate
bill which has brought 1t out. The demo-
cratic leaders. there is every reason TO be-
lieve. would have acted quite fairly
toward the original Dirgley bill had that
measure been promptly reported to them.
And had that course been followed by the
Senate subcommittee, the tariff bill. in good
revenue-producing, labOr-protecting shape.
would be ready for the Presidents sigma
ture today. and Congress be on the eve of
adjournment.
But a different. and upon the whole a
most unfortunate. course was taken. The
Senate subcommittee took the bill off to
private rooms. took out their knives and
sharpcned them, and then set to and cut
and slashed the measure until 1t was barely
recognizable. And to what purpose? To
reduce protection duties TO so low point
as that additional assessments would have
to be made in other directions. Then beer
was laid under heavier tribute, tea was
recommended for taxation. and the Sugar
Trust got schedule which Mr.. Havemeyer

which are SO highly creditable to the
minority. rapid progress is being made with
the tariff bill. July 1 ought to find the
lill in conference. But it is to be hoped
that before IT is sen. there many of the
Senate committee amendments will have
been shOrn away. and the measure be made
to conform again in its main features to
the intelligent. practical shape in which the

reform" 1t Is amazing and amusing how
those poor old reforms are always trot-
ted out at a critical time in the struggle.
When the result of the November elections
was declared. and 1t was known that Mr..
Mckinley. being man of conscience and
patriotism. would respect the platform up
on which he had been elected. Spain re-
vived the reforms for Cuba. The cable
from Madrid was kept hot with tall talk
about good times and good government for
Cuba When the new Presidents pacific
inaugural was read. Spain misinterpreting
that dropped the question of reforms for
while. When the appointment of Special
Commissioner Calhoun was announced, re
forms" were again proclaimed. and now,
when Canovas. Weyler. butchery. the torch
and pillage. all have failed, reforms" out
ranking all previous "reforms"-revoking
and cancelling all other heavenly concep-
tions of that nature-swallowing all other
reforms as Aaron's rod swallowed all the
other rods-'reforms' of the most wide
embracing and woodworking variety are
brought forward to show how we'll mean
ing Spain is toward Cuba. and how with a
good chance she will cause the waste she
has made of the island to blossom again as
the rose.
The favorite Spanish expression in de-
scribing the United States is that we are
"a nation Of shopkeepers." She borrows It
from Napoleon. who so expressed himself
about the English. But her real opinion
must be that we are a nation of gulls.
Otherwise. she would not expect us to be
deceived by gable about something which
never represented anything that was tan
gible or practicable coming from her.
We are expected to forget that she has
never kept a single promise she ever made
to Cuba, but has always followed up the
perfidy of her violation of her promises
with some fresh twist of her thumbscrews.
Cuba under Spanish rule affords a chapter
of history which makes 1t difficult to ac-
cept Spains word about anything.
Spain as a disciple must have heard of
the devils humor when sick. So it may
be said of her with regard to Cuba: When
Spain gets worsted Spain q "reformer'
would be; When Spain wins out. devil of
'reformer'' is she. Spanish reforms
are played out.

The influence of his teaching and of his

In 1857 Mr.. Milligan was appointed
Ccgnty Superintendent of schools and held
that position for twenty sss-ss years. From
personal knowledge we can say that the
late Governor Albeit only consented to
name. another as his successor on the
personal refusal of Mr.. Milligan to accept a
re appointment, as the growing schools of
the city demanded all his attention. He
was member of the New Jersey Board of
Education and Vice President and Treas
urer of the County Teachers Association
He was also a member of several of the
local socities, Mariola Lodge, K of p, in
which he held the Office of Master of Exec
quer, since 1881. Treasurer of Florence
Lodge, F. o. A. NJ, 1910, and Secretary
of same several years; Treasurer of Wood
bury Lodge, l. o. o. F.. since 1888, and
Financier of Provident Conclave, Hepto.

In 1858 he married Miss Helen Lippin-
colt, who with one daughter, survives him.
Throughout his entire life here Mr.. Mil
ligan has had the full confidence of the
people. In school matters his advice was
followed without question, and to his
fidelity. ability and devotion is largely due
