THE DESYR UCTION OF THE MINE.
1t is not often that the first reports
of disaster are not exaggerated, but
in the case of the catastrophe in the
harbor Of Havana they were not. The
later details show that fully as many
were killed or wounded as were at first
said to be and that the wreck was
complete. The terrible event has
shocked the whole civilized world.
There is apparently no disposition in
this country to rush to any ill-consid-
cred conclusion concerning the cause Of
the disaster. All are quietly and sadly
waiting for the result of the inquiry.
OF course 1t is felt that it Is very
strange that the explosion should have
happened, and people are wondering
how an amazing accident could have
happened to a vessel situated and
guarded as the Maine was. It is also
felt that there are people capable OF
such a crime as the fiendish wrecking
Of the Maine by some explosive would
be. But in the absence of proof that
such a crime was committed there is
no unreasoning accusation.
OF course the investigation will be
prompt and thorough, and though il
may not be possible to discover the
exact cause of the calamity it may be
possible to show that it was not the
work of any enemy of this country
For the credit of the human race, it Ii

bers. The subject is OF interest in
parts Of the United States that are at
times afflicted with insect pests. A
pound of caustic soda is dissolved in
four gallons of boiling water and one
pound of arsenic is added. The mix
ture is to be stored under lock and key,
being poisonous. For use it. is mixed
with boiling water in the proportion Of
one gallon OF arsenic solution to ten of
water and twenty pounds of sugar are
added. Cornstalks. grass, &C., are dip
ped in the solution and placed along
the roads and fields. Attracted by the
odor of the sugar, the insects eat the
poisoned material and die, Their bod
les are eaten by other locusts and the
ground becomes strewn with the dead
bodies. Cattle are said not to be in
jured by eating the prepared cornstalks
and grass, as too little arsenic is pres
ent to produce a bad effect. Chickens
eat the poisoned locusts without in
jury. One Natal farmer is said to
have cleared his farm of 700 acres of
locusts in ten days by using the ar
senical mixture.

THE JEWS, IN FRANCE.

The pivot of danger is the position of
England, accepted citizens, with all
the privileges and all the duties which
other citizens possess or perform. They
are liable to the CONSUMPTION like other
men, they can become officers like
other men. and they struggle like other.
men for success in the professions.
The free exercise Of their creed is not
only permitted, but their pastors re-
ceive allowances from the state. So
far as the world can perceive they per-
form their duties faithfully, and are as
French as any other class, more
French, indeed, than some of the cleri-
cal Monarchists, who hardly know how
to retain their patriotism in the face of
a century OF disappointments for their
CASTE and what they regard, often
justly, as persecution for their church.
For years past, however, deliberate
efforts have been made by three separ-
ate parties to SOW broadcast suspici-
Gus distrust of the race. The lower
Catholic clergy never pardon them
either their independence Of all
churches, or the predominant earthi-
ness which nevertheless is consistent
in individuals with the loftiest and
most spiritual minds. The Jews still
worship the Golden Calf while produc-
ing Moses and Aaron. The peasantry
never like them, partly, we fancy,
from unacknowledged but traditional
religious hatred, partly from feeling
that they are somehow separate from
| themselves. And the whole Of that inn
mense party which in our day is gov
erned at once by a noble pity for the
poor and base envy Of the rich, has
| fixed on the Jews as at once the most
| offensive and the most conspicuous
| OF capitalists and INDUCES in such a
| frenzy Of spitefulness that families like
the Rothschilds, who give no provoca-
ton except by their wealth, are COM
PEELED to apply for armed protection.
All these smouldering hatreds have
recently burst into flame, caused
partly by the treason attributed
truly, or falsely, to the Jewish Captain
! Dreyfus; partly by the impudent
though generous vehemence with
which his coreligionists have taken uT
his cause; partly by certain change
in French opinion which we may have
some difficulty in making clear. The
belief in the power of money has great
ly increased in France. 1t may be due

A TK0 UBlEsOME QUESTION.

How much of what he earns or gets
without work should a good man give
to the Lord? Many good men have
been and are much troubled by this
question. They want to do the right
thing, and yet they don't want to give
too much. If somebody would show
them conclusively just what they
ought to give they would be thankful
and would give it gladly for the sake
Of their own peace. Some good people
think one-tenth is about right and this
idea has support in ancient custom. 1t
is Just now receiving new support from
the Young Peoples Christian Union of
the Chicago Presbytery Of the United
which propose to put their faith into
works. The other day they held con-
vention in Chicago, attended by some
forty delegates from the several cities
and towns in the presbytery They
unanimously resolved that ut is the
duty Of every conscientious and Chris
tian man and woman" to give "one-
tenth of ones earnings or possessions
to Gods work." and they earnestly
urged the presbyterial board to tex
press itself on this important subject
and to endorse the efforts of the con-
vention. Enthusiastic addresses were
made in favor of return to the an.
cient custom.
The man who is satisfied that he
knows what Goods work" is is devot-
ing little enough to that work when he
gives one-tenth Of his wealth. Few
who think they know give that much,
and many are so uncertain about what
is Gods work and so certain about
their own needs that they don't part
with anything of any account. IT
would be a fine thing If everybody
knew how much to give and how much
to take. Most people seem to have q
| much clearer idea about what to take
than what to give.

A BIG BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Some of the cities of Louisiana are
very uneasy about their government.
Baton Rouge is tired of trying to gov
ern itself, and it's leading citizens have
petitioned the State constitutional con-
vention for the adjustment OF the mu-
lutte control over the city by the State
government, the idea being to have the
city governed in much the same way
as Washington is. On the other hand
New Orleans wants even more local
project now under discussion compre-
bends nothing less than the appoint
zens to be known as the board of pub
lie works. 1t is not intended that
these citizens shall participate in per-
forming the same duties as the regular
city officers or the council, but it is
proposed that when public i'm
provements are to be made the city. in
stead of bargaining with private con-
tractors or undertaking the work on
it's own account, shall act on the in
stance of the board, which will see
that all the necessary work shall be
done at such a price only as will pay
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1898-02-17

actual cost for construction and main
tenance. In this way the board will
dictate as to the operation of all plans
for sewerage, main drainage, public
lighting, water supply, the paving of
the streets and similar matters.
The measure which the New Orleans
Municipal Improvement association
has prepared for this purpose is
sweeping and comprehensive. 1t not
only provides for the establishment OF
the board of one hundred citizens, but
actually names the citizens who are to
be chosen as members of the first
board. 1t provides that twenty of these
shall hold office for twenty years, TWEEN
ty for sixteen years, twenty for twelve
years, twenty for eight years and TWEEN
ty for four years. After the expiration
Of the four years all members shall be
elected by popular vote, their term be-
ing twenty years.
The Bible says that in a multitude of
counsellors there Is safety, and there
might be safety in a board Of public
works composed of one hundred mem
bers. But perhaps the business would
be done by committees and thus the
real power would be much less than q
hundred-man power. And 1t might
also be hard to ak the responsibility
in such big board.

A land improvement company has
bought two thousand acres of land in
Wisconsin at seventy-five cents all
acre, and proposes to drain and inn
prove the tract and sell it off in farms
at big profit Other swamp lands are
to be bought If this scheme works as
Is expected. The promoters are said to
have both money and experience, and
base their expectations largely on the
supposed fertility of the lands to be re-
claimed. AS to this 1t is said: For
ages these swamps have been produce
ing crops of vegetation which each fall
died, and during the next summer de-
cayed, and added to the growing lay
ers of rich mould, until in many sec
lions the rich mould is as much as six
or more feet deep, and if drained and
cleared of the timber and other growths
on it, is capable of producing splendid
crops. This has been demonstrated in
Northern Indiana, which was once
chiefly swamp, but has been made one
of the finest farming sections in the
whole country"
