1t is rather interesting news that in
the midst of the recurrent alarms of
war should come the official announce
ment that the navy is not only short of
men to work the vessels. but also short
of powder and shot. An appropriation
of at least 100000 is urged at once for
the accumulation of a reserve supply,
the lack Of which would be very embar-
raising in case Of actual war. Then,
too, the ornaments of the older cruisers
have become Anticipated, even in the
few years that have elapsed since the
ships went into service. Money is need
ed for new guns and for the CONVEX
sion Of the old ones into modern models.
These bare facts carry their own com

Treasury conditions continue to pro-
mote confidence. The gold reserve
keeps on increasing, so that it is now
around $1S2, 100000 and by the end of the
month it is likely to reach $164, 1000, 900.
The revenue receipts for the past week
have hardly held to the promised aver
age shown earlier in the month, and It
may be that the receipts viii hardly ball
ance the expenditures for the month;
but the really significant fact is that
there has been and will be a marked
increase over the receipts for Decem-
Der, just as the figures Of that month
showed an advance over those of No
vember. Estimated on the basis of
daily average receipts (Which is con-
ceded to be the most accurate method,
there should be a surplus revenue dur
ing March, May and June of some $13,-
100000, and the deficit for the other
three months should only reduce this
surplus to $S.5OO.OoO for the entire six
months. That could hardly be de-
scribed as bad showing

Romero Robledo's attempt at stimuli
taneous Weyler demonstrations at Ma
drid and Havana has failed, another
Cuban crisis, the gravest that has yet
arisen, has passed. and the authorities at
Washington once more feel that there
is no immediate cause for alarm How
soon another emergency may arise to
excite grave apprehensions no man can
say. Admiral Sicard's North Atlantic
squadron will soon be at Dry Tortugas,
where the routine evolutions Of the
feet will take place, but the vessels are
equipped for long voyage, and their
magazines are well filled. In other words,
while seeking to avoid either the giving
of offense or the PRONUNCIATION of alarm
ist rumors, the government is watching
events carefully and taking every pre-
caution for prompt action in case of an
emergency. The utmost that an out
break in Havana could accomplish
would be reign of anarchy, in which
event American lives and property
would be in danger, and an American
warship would be needed,

1t is a pleasure to agree, when agree
ment is possible, with the Hon.
John F. Fitzgerald the only relic Of
New England democracy now left in
congress, and therefore we hasten to
applaud his purpose to amend the $780,
600 appropriation for the distribution Of
seeds, by adding provision for the gra-
tuitous distribution Of fish hooks and
bait Our own name is not Isaak Wal
ton, but there are several that answer
to 1t in our family and we have numer-
Gus friends who are always seeking
hooks and bait, more particularly bait
of the right sort. 1t is all right for the
Hon. Fitz thus to care for the hardy
mackerel, cod and paddock fishermen Of
Boston and Winthrop, but we know of
nothing better calculated to win the last
ing gratitude of Worcester county than
a free distribution OF hooks, lines, bobs
sinkers and bait, especially bait. In
fly-time, Worcester is great fishing
ground.

Philadelphia Rules for Beauty Chapter
Dance-sociology Glass Discusses
Interesting Matters-Harvard Con-
cert Off-Women's Philharmonic
Concert.

How to be beautiful, is a subject Of
Importance to some women, matter Of
interest to most. Many women frankly
admit that they would rather be beau
tiful than witty or clever or amiable,
and probably the women are few who
have not felt at some time of their lives,
If only for a swift-paSsing moment, as
If beauty were of all things in the world
the best worth having.
1t is certain, furthermore. that the in
terest in physical comeliness is far more
intelligent and general than 1t was a
decade ago. Women care more and
more women care how they
look than ever before in this
country; manicures, pedicures, fa-
cial masseuseS, shampoosrs, complex
ion specialists and physical developers
and reformers of all sorts flourish as
never before; more scrupulous attention
is paid to physical culture, to public and
private hygiene. We are witnessing q
renaissance Of personal beauty. And,
while in many cases the means are
laughable, generally the results are not
ridiculous. Already the girls in the
more fortunate classes Of society show
an Improvement in health and physique
over their elder sisters and the women
Of earlier generations; and it is becom-
ing more and more manifest that the
women of the future, while they may
not be actually prettier or more beau
tiful than their predecessors, will yet
have the effect Of greater beauty, and
be more attractive because they will
build upon a broader, foundation of
health and hygiene, and will know SO
much better how to develop and pre-
serve such charms as nature may en-
dow them with.

Expose and Punish the Guilty

We have whipped the Spaniards On
land and sea without half trying. and a
war of not exceeding one hundred days
Of actual battle closed with the most
brilliant naval victories in the
worlds history, and with decisive
triunDhs for our armies in Cuba. Porto
Rico and the Philippines
There Is no longer a conflict between
the armies Of the Uniled States and
Spain. but there is an irrepressible war
upon us for the exhaustive exposure
and relentless punishment of the in
competents and spectators who de
privp our brave men in the field of
proper ratiOns. medical stores and at
tendance, and this war must be waged
as long as an Incompetent or thief Is
unwhipped Of justice
Our killed and wounded in action did
not numbers one per cent of the entire
army. and but little over ten per cent
of the troops engaged in the bloodleSt
fight of modern times for the capture
Santiago; but many, many thousand
of our brave soldiers, regulars and
volunteers. have been literally murder
ed by the incompetent or corrupt man
agement of the War Department.
Generous allowance must be made
for the haste with which the army had
to be forced into Cuba. But there was
no excuse whatever for want of medi-
cal stores, medical attention and pro
er food for sick and well. Mere than
one-half of all the deaths and shattered
constitutions which tell the fearful
story Of the Santiago campaign could
have been averted with every ordinary
business methods and energy by the
heads of departments: and even when
the truth was published from day 70
day. and when Major General Miles
gave the unvarnishcd facts to the Gov
ernment. no practical methods were
adoDted to furnish relief to our suffer
ering soldiers.
Equal incOmpetency ana neglect
were exhibited in the location and
management of the leading camps,
where our soldiers were thrown tOgeth-
er by tens of thousands only to con
tract fearful disease and submit to the
needless sacrifice of life. Both the
Chickamauga Camp and Camp Alger,
in Virginia, proved to be simply plague
spots with thousands of men huddled
into them. In both the States the amp
lest supply of pure water, with perfect
lv healthy location, could have been
found. but neither had anything
approaching sufficient water supply,
and what they had was impure and
bred disease with fearful rapidity.
There can be no excuse given Tor
these blunders, and those who are re-
sponsible for the incompetency or neg
ligence that has cost the lives of thou
sands of soldiers who never met the
enemy, and given many thousands Of
others hopelessly shattered constitu-
tions must answer to an indignant
country for these fearful wrongs
The President is now relieved Of the
exacting duties of war. and he Is the
responsible head of the government, 10
whom the nation looks for the exposure
and punishment of the men who have
so recklessly sacrificed the lives and
health of scores of thousands of our
