CARELESSNESS AND 1ND1T-
FERENCE.
The four voting precincts
grouped about Commonwealth
Avenue in Boston probably con-
tain a population more highly
educated and more wealthy,
speaking by averages, than any
other district of like size in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
In the spring of 1896 the assess
ors' list showed that there were
2.OO3 men assessed for poll tax
within these four precincts. OF
those only 1850 we're registered
as voters, and only 1881 actually
voted, even including those who
merely came to the polls, and
cast defective ballots. In the
most important and exciting cleo
ton in the present generation,

GOVERNED BY DEFAULT.
"A few years ago there was a
contest for the Republican nomi-
nation for mayor of Boston be-
tween Hon. Thomas N. Hart, a
well.known and honored Boston
merchant, and Moody Merrill,
known at the time as a shifty adj

from the country. To the utter
amazement of the community,
ward eleven. the Back Bay ward
of Boston, with some two thous'

Harris home, chose the delegates
favorable to Mr.. Merrill. Ninety
men voted in caucus for Mr..
Merrill's delegates. Ninety men

The affairs of the DePauw univer-
sity, Indiana, are now approaching q
crisis, upon the outcome of which will
depend, almost entirely, the future Of
the institution. 1t has been pretty
generally known since last September
that the fund which has heretofore
been derived from the DePauw estate
was diminished In quantity and that
the needs of the institution would have
to be supplied from other sources.
When the salaries of the first quarter
now ended are paid the last resources
of the current year will have been
expended. With that payment of
money provided for in Mr.. DePauw's
will must be exhausted. Then the an
nual deficit of the university will reach
$4,000 unless something be done to
cover it.

The Usage Indians are said to be the
richest community in the world. They
number but 1.729 souls, all told-men,
women and children; they own 1,500,-
900 acres of valuable land; have 3d.
100000 in trust with the government,
which pays 5 per cent. interest, and
have leases with cattlemen for the use
of their pasture lands, which bring
them between $4,000 and $4,000 a
year, without counting the rent from
the agricultural lands and the pro-
ceeds of their own labor. That, how
ever, is very small. They have 30
much money that they are lazy, idle
and in state of rapid degeneration.
The entire tribe is composed of about
800 families, of which Ito are adults
and $50 are children Of school age.
This gives them over 5000 acres OF
land for each family, and more than
$50 acres per capita, with 100000 cash
for every family. Including the grass
money" as they call it, which is receiv-
ed from leasing pastures, the income OF
the tribe will average 100000 a year,
which is about $500 per capita, or ST..
600 per family, without any labor what
ever.

There is a great deal Of maudlin
sympathy wasted on the queen regent
of Spain by those persons who do not
remember that she is head and front
Of government responsible for Wey-
Ter. The world fails to understand
how an Austrian princess can so far
forget her civilization as to permit the
murder and starving of hundreds Of
thousands of her helpless subjects
without protest. Possibly the respon-
sibility rests upon what we call poll
tics in this country.

Milk testing has, within few years,
greatly changed the conditions of dali
rying among progressive dairymen and
progressive farmers. The men that
have purchased Babcock testers and
regulated their business, as far as pos
sible, by them, have been the gamers.
But the great mass of farmers are still
unreached. Doubtless there are many
that have become interested in this
matter, but because of obstacles have
not yet made a move in the direction
of purchasing machine or of finding
out the real merits of their cows To
Mr.. ]. H. Monrad belongs the credit of
beginning the agitation in this coun-
try. In Denmark there are associa-
tions in active operation for the test
ing of the milk of the herds. AS we
understand it, considerable number
of farmers combine and form a testing
association. Each member of the as
ISOLATION generally has a fairly good
business in dairying, enough at least
to permit him to keep good sized herd
of cows. The association employs
man to do the testing. He provides
his own machine and goes from farm
to farm, staying not more than one
day in one place, but repeating his Wis
its as often as necessary. lie is usually
student from some dairy school or
agricultural college, and can therefore
afford to do this work at a nominal
salary. The work of the tester on
each farm is to thoroughly test the
milk of each COW. AS this is repeated
from time to time the farmer comes to
certainly know the exact value of his
animals and gives him the information
necessary to enable him to intelligent

Spanish newspapers declare that
American efforts to relieve the starv-
ing people of Cuba are attacks on
Spanish honor. What kind Of honor
is that which deliberately murders by
starvation and forbids relief at the
hands of Christian nation? What
kind Of hearts must men have who
look indifferently upon the dying of
hundreds of thousands of innocent
men, women and children? If that is
Spanish honor it ought to be annihil-
