 Such an effort as the above to create a. prejudice against a newspaper can never win with an intelligent com munity.

ENGINEER REGIMENTS.
A Magnificent Regiment Could Very
 Easily Be Formed.

Washington, May 1O.-It is the under standing at the war department thai the bill now pending in congress pro- viding for the enlistment of over 10000 lmmuneS and a brigade of engineers will be modified to as to leave it dis cretionary with the president to recruit probably 15,OOO men made up of such special classes best for the service. The classes will include, it is said, immunes, signal corps, cowboy con- pan1es and artillery and engineer reg iments. This course is regarded at the war department as better than that proposed in the bill as it will en- able the president to provide for ob- taining such troops as he may think best.
 Among those who have been promi- nent in urging on the officials the for nation of a brigade Of engineers, is MT. Griffin, the vice president of the General Electric company. He is a graduate of West Point and served in the engineers corps in the civil war. He has rendered his services to the government in connection with the present war and in doing SO wrote an interesting letter to Secretary Alger, giving his reason for urging the for nation of brigade of engineers. not exceeding $500 men.
 Each of the regiments, he says, should be composed of civil and me chanical engineers. electrical engineers and practical electricians, mechanics, artisans, draftsmen and men familiar with engineers work, capable of being rapidly converted into military engin- eers with proper training. He gives figures to show that the strength of the volunteer brigade of the army of the Potomac under Generals Grant and Meade in 1865 was about per cent of the total number of the troops un- der their cOmmand-nCt including the regular battalion of engineers with the army of the Potomac.
 In the contemplated occupation of Cuba, he says, the character of the country and the probability of siege operations against Havana makes it obvious that an unusually large pro portion of engineer troops will be re- quired. Five per cent of the volun- teers would be a reasonable minimum The proposed brigade is about one-half of that number.
 MT. Griffin also shows the many uses to which electricity and photography will be put to in the war and how necessary it is that men skilled in those lines should be ready to conduct whatever operations are necessary.

KEEP COOL.

] The hearts Of the American people
 have been thrilled by the recent re ports of victory. The stars and stripes
 are floating from hundreds of theu- sands of flag staffs. The newspapers
 are congratulating the brave com mander of the Asiatic squadron
 Cheers and exclamations of pleasure
 are heard on every side. There is a feeling of hopefulness that the end is near. It is the desire of the Amer ican people to have the last blew
 struck soon. The demand that Cuba
 shall be free is made now with more
 emphasis than ever. A good start has
 been made and thousands of young
 men are putting on the uniforms of blue ready for the invasion of Cuba Preparations for war still continue and the great American nation is forging ahead with a determination to make no mistakes The sole object of our people is to enforce the demand made by President Mckinley upon the gov ernment of Spain.
 While we are filled with exultat1on, and while our hearts throb with patri-
 otic feeling for the brave men at Ma
 nila; while we have faith that our
 squadrons on the Atlantic will give a good account of themselves later on; while we are buoyed by the news that comes from the far east and with the demoralized condition of the Spanish forces, we must not overlook the fact that the end has not yet come. Spain declares that she is determined to force another battle on the sea before she will listen to any propositions looking to the surrender of Cuba.
 The Spaniards are good fighters; they are not towards when forced into a corner; they have the desperation of madmen when their so-called ''honor" is attacked; they have no regard for life as individuals, and they have the reputation of fighting with a ferocity known only to men of the Latin race They do not fight with their heads. however, but with their arms. They lack those qualifications that make the English speaking people such mas ter warriors, yet they are foe not to be despised. Spain knows that it is outclassed at this time, but knowing that but adds to the ferocity with which it evidently intends to fight later On-
 The people Of the United States must not give way to too much enthusiasm and they must be prepared for some hard knocks. Much may come to pass within a week or ten days, and in the meantime the United States must keep on with its preparations for a long siege. We must make up our minds to accept the worst while hoping, with good grounds for that hope, that we will win. Let us keep cool.

EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE.

The kindergarten system of educa- tion for the young has been given the trial of twenty years in this country. and the test has resulted in the com plete recognition of the system by parents and guardians of children. That this Is so is evidenced by the statistics of attendance at the schools all over the country.
 To account for this increasing at tendance, and for this recognition ot the merits of the system were to ex- plain the reason for the natural affec- tion between parent and child. The teacher in kindergarten is the adopted parent of the children. This is the secret of the system. likewise the secret of the success. It is need less to attempt an explanation of that which is selx-explained.
 The question now before the trus- tees in this city is shall the kinder garten become attached to and be a part of our public school system. We have discussed this question with heads of families, business men, lead ing citizens, and professional educa- tors, and we find a uniformity Of opinion in favor of such movement There has been no argument worthy of audience advanced adversely in GU, hearing since the agitation for this connection has arisen. Therefore we take it there is no such argument to be made.
 Special studies have become tht properties of public schools throughout the country. Physical culture, music drawing and languages each engage the attention and time of specia teachers in public schools, and the re suits are abundant proof of the success attained in this direction. All reasol points to the importance of the kinder garten as a specially, and thousand reasons might be advanced showing l that this speciality should not be per mitted to remain outside the lnf1uenc and control of those responsible fo l
 public schools.
 l One reason will suffice, we believe 1 for the purpose of bringing the sub 1 feet more clearly before those in au 1 thority. The first question asked b. | the incomer, the head of family,
 with reference to the schools. Whel
 the reply is unsatisfactory we lcse
 citizen. Many instances of this char
 acter are within the knowledge of u
 all. With the kindergarten part c the public school, with other specia l studies added such as obtain in pub lie schools elsewhere, and with othe evidences of intent to bring our pub lie school up to the highest standar
 of excellence, this question may
 answered satisfactorily and with par donable pride.

DEWEY PAID HIS FINE.
Manila Hero Once in Police Court for
 Thrashing a Marine.

Portland, Me, May 10.-George P1ais- ted, trial justice of York county, has a docket which shows that Com modore Dewey was once fined $25 by him and that the fine was promptly paid. It came out in this way:
 Commodore Dewey. who married a daughter of former Governor Good win, was frequently at Portsmouth, and one day, going over to the navy yard, was met outside by a marine, who was in an ugly mood and in dulged in back talk. At last Dewey s fighting blood was up, and, discarding his rank and coat, he sailed in and gave the man thrashing.
 Justice Plaisted heard the complaint, found Dewey guilty of assault and fined him $25. The fine was cheer fully paid, Commodore Dewey remark ing that it was worth $25 to have the pleasure of thrashing such a disgr ace to the United States service.
