glimpse of the historic ground at Chicka-

presents an interesting set of pictures,
among them hitherto unpublished phot-

encampment in June, '9S.
Mr.. R. Clipston Sturgis contributes to
the New England Magazine for August
an important paper entitled 1.-The Evils
of Our Wooden Suburbs" He deplores
the fact that so many of our large cities
here in the United States have thickly
settled suburbs, the buildings of which
are entirely of wood, where great danger
from fire threatens the city. He takes

that the use of brick as a building mate

Gov Blaok-f New York is said to have
expressed himself as thoroughly sick of
politics and as not wishing a renomina-
ton by the Republicans this fall. No
man ever had more to sicken him than
Black has experienced during his term.
The bosses who were instrumental in his
nomination turned upon him when they
found that they could not control all his
official acts, and made it as uncomfort-
able for him as possible-and that was
very uncomfortable ipdeed. With Gov.
Black out the question of candidates
becomes an important and interesting
one. Col, Roosevelt has been mentioned.
but the Colonel is not the sort of a man
that the controlling forces of New York
politics exactly want He is too indepen-
dent and headstrong, and what is worse.
he is good deal lacking in discretion.
Still he may prove enough of hero to
command SO strong following among
the rank and file that the leaders may be
compelled, against their inclinations, to
accept him.

1t hardly seems possible that the scheme
for sending Gen. Wade's army to Porto
Rico will be pushed farther under exist
ing circumstances. 1t is admitted on all
sides that not man of them is needed
in Porto Rico. and will not be even if the
peace negotiations DOW apparently close
to successful issue should miscarry.
The ships that will be necessary to carry
those troops ara needed to bring back
Gen. Skaters army and save it from
destruction. Furth ermore the expense
of the expedition must be large, and there
is no justification for spending money
uni ess it is necessary. The exonse now
put forward for persisting in this enter
prise is that it will be good thing to
enure the troops to the climate in case
they should be needed to pacify Cuba
after the Spaniards have withdrawn,
but the condition at Santiago shows that
trying to enure American troops in mid
summer to the climate of the tropics is
about equivalent to.destroying them.

It is said now that Cuba will not be
turned over to the insurgents until their
capacity for government has been tested
for several years. 1t can be safely be pre-
dieted that the test will be so unsatisfac-
tory that it will never be turned over to
them. In all probability this destiny of
Cuba is to be annexed to the United
States, at the demand of the great major
ity of its Inhabitants. That will prove
the only escape from anarchy.

The defences of Admiral Sampson
which are bsin G put out by the Navy De-
partment are able documents no doubt,
but they seem to be superfuous. There
has been no general disposition to de-
tract from SIMPSONS achievements or to
bslittle him in any way. Some of the
friends of Commodore Schley have
thought that not enough credit was given
him for his part in the destruction of
Ceryera' s squadron, and in their zeal in
his behalf have spoken slightingly per-
haps of the admiral commanding. But
the public in general has recognized in
Sampson al able, discreet and cautious
commander, though they have not been
quite ready to admit that he was the only
one that deserved credit for the success of
the operations around the Cuban coast.

No doubt the Hawaiian commission
will encounter problems enough to keep
their brains busy for some time to come.
There is the electoral problem. As 1t was
clear that majority of the people were
opposed to annexation, it won't do to es-
tablish universal suffrage. Some restric-
ton will be necessary, out just how much
and by what methods it can be accom-
plished are puzzling questions. The
Kanakas cannot be struck out on &C.
count of their race, for our Constitution
forbids any discrimination of that kind.
A general educational test would not
work the restriction desired because the
per cent of illiteracy among the natives
is very small. 1t is lucky for this emer-
gency there is a gentleman from the
South on the commission, for that section
has had much experience in coneocting
schemes inside the constitution for shut
ting out undesirable voters, and he must
be pretty familiar with them. Then
there is the labor problem, which will be
no small one. Be ct sugar raisers in the
West are not going to sit still and see

The chief lack in the m ilitary encamp-
ments within our own country has been
that of good water supply, and that
far more than anything else is responsible
for the large amount of sickness which
has occurred in them. Typhoid fever is
the disease which apparently has bsen
responsible for most of the sickness, and
the most common source Of Infection from
this malady is contaminated water. 1t
seems little. strange that sites for camps
were not selected where there could be no
trouble of this sort. With the whole
southern section of the country Ito be Sc
lected from it would seem to have been
possible to find locations where
there was plenty of good water. There
has been, too. at the camps lack
Of sanitary precautions, but inasmuch as
the men themselves must be relieds upon
to a great extent for such precaution
and as itiwas exceedingly difficult to con-
vince many of them of their Importance
perhaps the authorities who had general
supervision of the camp are not much
fault, but for tho lack of an adequate
supply of good water somebody high in
authority would seem to be responsible.

Death Reveals GIittering Twenties.

Patrick Kearney, an old man living
by himself, was found dead in his bed at
his home in Pittston. He was about 65
years old. Kearney had not been seen
about the house for several days, and
his nephew, Michael Kearney, fearing
something i'll had befalen his relative,
summoned his cousin John and together
they forced open the door of the old
mans home. The owner lay upon the
bed, his arms folded and his face cold in
death, but peaceful as in sleep.
After viewing the remains they found
$500 in gold tightly sewed in bag,
there being thirty-five $50 gold pieces.
A bank book was found in another part
of the house which showed that $3.50 is
in bank. In the bag in which the
money was found was loaded revolver.
The deceased is survived by wife and
one son and one daughter. They reside
in Avoca, where Miss Kearney teaches
school,
