The disgrace that has overtaken A. A. Long ought to be a warning to the taxpayers of this town. Only men of recognized ability in financial matters and whose integrity is beyond ques- tion should be elected to positions of trust. Men whose sole recommenda- tion lies in their good fellowship and their influence in politics should not be considered. It is a positive danger to one who is not accurate and syste- matic in his habits to be placed in con- trol of large sums of money. He may be honest, but if he is careless and easily influenced the chances favor his downfall. Longs administration of the office of city assessor and tax collector will cost his bondsmen a pretty penny.

WILL GO WITHOUT HIS TOES.

Since the news of Commodore Dew ey's victory reached the green hills of his native state the fires of patriotism have burned fiercely in the breasts of the boys of Vermont. The enthusiasm of sacrifice for Uncle Sam reached its height the other day in St. Albans. One of the boys from that town went before the army surgeon to be eXamin- ed, with a view to enlisting. He was strong fellow, and the surgeon found him all right till he got down to his feet. There he discovered defect which made him hesitate. The little toes on both feet were crooked under so that in walking the boys weight fell directly on them.
 "I'm afraid I can't pass you with those toes," said the surgeon. ''You will find them very troublesome on a long march. Don't they ever hurt you in walking?"
 The fellow admitted that they were somewhat painful when he walked many miles. The surgeon shook his head.
 "Very sorry" he said, "but Tn afraid you can't go."
 The boy from Dewey's state threw back his head and his upper lip stiff fened. Doctor" he said, 'supposing l didn't have the toes. Would you pass me then?'
 The doctor said he thought he would
 Thereupon the boy walked over to the hospital and told the house sur geon that he wanted his little toes cut off so that he could go to war This operation was performed, and the brave volunteer now lies up at the hos pital with bandages around his feet minus two toes, but full of valor, and determined to wear the uniform oi Uncle Sam, toes or no toes.-New York Herald.

Soon after Thomas L. Rosser's ap- pointment as brigadier-general had been made one of the newly appointed officers in Washington asked the gen. eral where he was going to have his uniforms made, remarking that he had had six suits made, at a cost of s700. T will only need,'' remarked Rosser, "a flannel shirt, which I can buy any where, a pair of shoulder straps and a string or piece of braid around my hat to designate that I am an officer.

 Evidently old man Rosser expects to do his fighting in the Philippines, where, judging by pictures now ap- bearing in the magazines, even a fan nel shirt is superfuous.

IL is reported that Col Wood and Lieutenant-Col. Roosevelt are to be made brigadiers on account of their bravery in the recent fight. In such event the Rough Riders" would have to be supplied with new leaders. In view of Col. Woods failure to avoid the ambuscade set for his command by the Spaniards we are not sure that he would make a desirable brigade com mander. Col Roosevelt will consult his best interests by staying with the Rough Riders He knows little as yet of military tactics, and as this par ticular regiment is bound to be in the thick of the fighting his opportunities for acquiring experience and fame will be boundless.

WAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Great excitement prevails in Costa
Rica over the possibility of war with
Nicaragua. Both states are thoroughly
prepared for fight, and it is only a
question of few days when some
thing must take place on the Costa
Rican frontier, as it is not likely that
diplomacy can settle the differences
existing. The Diet of the Greater
Republic has done nothing SO far to
indicate that it is exercising any in
fuences over President Zelaya to pre-
serve peace. Salvador has practical
ly withdrawn from the other two re-
publics, having declared that it would
not take up arms against Costa Rica.

The Diet sent note to the Govern
ment of Costa Rica charging that it
helped the last Nicaraguan revolution
in every way possible, demanding an
apology, and the disarming of the
revolutionists now on the Costa Rican
frontier in ten days. The Govern
ment assembled the most noted per-
sons of the country in the Congress
chambers and read the ultimatum to
them and also asked for their opin
ions. An interesting and rather ex-
citing session took place, the most
prominent men taking part, and every
one agreed on the answer to the
ultimatum of the Diet, refusing to
accept it's condition and declaring the
Nicaraguan Government responsible
for what might occur hereafter, citing
the arrest and abuses against Consul
Beeche of Costa Rica. Very strong
language was used both in the ulti-
matum and in the answer, therefore
unless something unexpected should
turn up formal declaration of war
may come from Nicaragua at any mo-
ment.

An OBVIOUS DUTY.

Washington dispatches say that the
President will on no account accept
any proposal for an international
commission to pass upon the Maine
disaster. He will accept as conclu-
sive the finding of our own Court oe
Inquiry.
That is right and reasonable. No
international commission can possi-
bly, ascertain the facts SO accura tely
as our own Board of Inquiry has done.
The physical evidence upon which
every inquiry must depend becomes
daily less and less positive.
Our Board of Inquiry is composed
of competent and conscientious men.
They have made their explorations
with an impartial purpose to find out
the facts. Their report will set forth
the exact truth, ard certainly our own
Government must accept it as final.
The President is right in thinking
that sif the United States Naval Court
of Inquiry reports that the evidence
all shows that the battleship was de-
stroyed by Spaniards, even though
the Government officials were per-
fectly innocent, the American people
will not coutenance delay in demand
ing reparation from Spain. ."-NeaU

THE LEADER AND THE NATION.

President McKinley's first year end
ton of personal confidence in him.
|Inaugurated on March 4, 1897, he saw
the House vote March s, 1898, and the
Senate March 9, with absolute unani-
nifty, giving him discretionary pow
er which has rarely been granted to
any American President. These votes,
81 to in the House and rs to O,with-
out word of debate, in the Senate,
grandly exhibited the unity, patriot
ism and loyalty of the Nation. In the
thirty three years since the Civil War
ended no such manifestation of COM
plete restoration of the Union has
|been possible until now. Even after
the Civil War began there were five
Votes against the first act to raise
money for the support of the Govern
ment, and in all the previous history
of the Nation absolute unanimity in
Congress was rarely possible. 1t was
worth many times the $50, 1000, 600 vot-
led by Congress to have such magnifi-
|cent demonstration of the Nations
unity. But while this spirit prompted
the act. its discretionary feature was
lat the same time a rare and striking
proof of confidence in the President.
His conduct during his first year, un-
der circumstances of extraordinary
difficulty, has been such as to win for
him the entire trust of political oppo-
|nents in all matters involving the Ma
toms defence, SO that some who have
been most hostile to him now pro-
|nounce him "rock of safety. ."-Ne,U

WHAT SENATOR PROCTORSAW.

Senator Proctor has returned from
his trip to Cuba and was Mortified at
the starvation which he saw in the
various provinces on the island. To a
newspaper correspondent he said:
ssI have not had an easy time. I
have seen all, from the highest gen
eral and the richest merchant to the
neediest reconcentrado and humblest
pacifco, bankers, officers, officials
and others. I have visited the mill
tary prison, hospitals, relief depots,
asylums, guard houses, trochas, farms,
offices hand homes. I have been in
four provinces, Havana, Pinar Del
Rio, Matanza and Santa CLARA, and in
the principal cities of each. I am of
an observant turn of mind and I kept
my eyes open.
I have found out what I could not
possibly have learned without per-
sonal visit, while have not, to my
knowledge, antagonized a single per-
son on the island. My trips with Miss
Barton have been Of great service be-
cause when the people are mellowed
by gratitude their hearts speak out
the truth. AS business man I wish
to say that Miss Barton's methods Of
rec Giving, caring for and distributing
the supplies are all most admirable.
I am surprised at her ability and de-
lighted at the results obtained The
American neople NAV he confident,
that all money Or supplies sent will
be conscientiously applied. Gould
they see, as have seen, the suffering,
the starvation and death they would
as Whittier says, pour forth wine
and oil.'''
