Governor Shaw of Iowa Is fortunate in
his selection of members of the Board
of Control which is to take charge of
the state institutions July 1 under the
new system adopted. The chairman
will be an ex-governor who, during his
two terms, became more familiar with
the details of state management than
any other Iowa governor; one member
Is democrat who served term on the
supreme bench and whose ability and
integrity have never been questioned,
and the third member Is president OF
the State Agricultural society and good
business man. The naming of these
three men-Larrabee. Kline and Cownie
makes 1t certain that the new system
will be given a fair trial under most
favorable auspices

A GENTLE ODE,

Syracuse Herald.
Oh, light overcoats are out,
Yes they're out;
On the thin man or the stout,
Or the Stout
And the young chick and the lambkin
NOW replace the pork and hamkin,
And the oyster and the clamkin.
Don't you doubt!
Oh, the coal bins bleak and bare,
Bleak and bare;
Not a clinker now dwells there,
Now dwells there;
And they hang outside the parrot
With his plumage green and carrot,
And the gas stove leaves the garrett
Don't you care!
Oh. the goat stands nigh the beer,
Foamng beer,
With gallon full of cheer,
Amber cheer!
We know 1t by the bonnet,
BY the poets sickly sonnet;
You may bet your last cent on II,
Spring Is here!

Canadian Sunday newspapers are not
up to the American standard and the
competition of the Sunday papers from
the American cities has become so
strong that the Dominion Parliament
Is considering a bill to prohibit the in
PRODUCTION into Canada of newspapers
printed on Sunday or purporting to be
published on Sunday. The Canadians
have right to do as they please about
Sunday newspapers, but discrimination

The Virginius Tragedy.

81. LOUIS fttpuDTC.
For numbering ffty-four members OF the
Virginus crew Spain paid to this country
$50 0G00-and that in two nstallments after
years of diplomacy The rate was about 81 .40C

try have adopted the rule of fixing the value
of cluman life at $4,000. If we are to settle
with Spain on money basis for the death OF
the Maine crew, our own valution, and no,

The Sugar trust Is undergoing the fatal ex.

such moncpolistic violations OF the laws OF

the trust must submit to their competition
or buy them off on their own terms. Each
successive purchase at heavy cost of planta

A woman fell of the dock in Italy.
She was fat and frightened. No one of
a crowd of men dared to jump in after
her. but a boy struck the water almost
as soon as she and managed to keep her
up until stronger arms got hold Of her.
Everybody said the boy was very daring.
very kind, very quick, but also very
reckless, for he might have been drown
ed. The boy was Garibaldi, and If You
will read his life you will find these
were just his traits all through-that he
was so alert that nobody could tell when
he would make an attack with his red
shirted soldiers, so indiscreet sometimes
as to make his fellow patriots wish he
was in Guinea, but also SO brave and
magnanimous that all the world except
tyrants love to hear and talk about him.

National Sanitation.

Every visitation of the yellow fever
pest gives mere vivid color to those
views which favor the United States
eharing at least in the direction of such
preventive measures as may lessen the
danger cf the epidemic scourges. No
fantastic application of state rights
theory will interfere here any more
than it works in the cooperation of a
Mississippi river commission to COM
bat the great riverine threat which is
annually recurrent. No doubt the local
and specialized knowledge ON the part
of the health authorities of the southern
states is essential, but the danger has
proved tco great to be controlled by the
states alone. A large and we'll consider
cd plan. to be enforced by the wealth
and executive foresight of the national
government, is needed by the interests
Of the south, which in this case are
eminently the interests of the nation.
It should not be difficnlt to bring in
to complete harmony the action of each
individual state exposed TO the onset Of
pestilence with such action by the
United States as will greatly strength
en- the preventive machinery which ex-
perience has shown to be the most
effective. To wait in each case till the
danger is imminent before devising
such a plan of prompt cooperation,
whether in the phase of prevention or
of cure, is sheer futility. State and ma
tion should learn to work together in
the future on lines Of campaign where
each factor is prearranged. The ele-
ments which enter into the visitations
OF epidemic plaques are not SO compli-
Gated as not to be within the reach of a
pEovident wisdom. And the new regime
In Cuba will make the task all the
easier of solution. 1t is from Cuba as
the fountain of evil that the wave OF
propagation has ordinarily come.
