The People.

(From the Italian Of 'Tomaso Canpan-
ello.)
The people is beast of muddy brain,
That knows not it's own force, and
therefore stands
Loaded with wood and stone; the
powerless hands
Of mere child guide it with bit and
rein;
One kick would be enough to break the
chain;
But the beast fears, and what the
child demands.
1t does; nor its own terrors Under
stands,
Confused and stupefed by bugbears
vain.
Most wonderful with its own hand it
ties
And gags itself gives itself death and
war
For peace doled ont by kings from it's
own store.
It's own are all things between earth and
heaven;
But this it knows not; and if one arise
To tell this truth. it kills him unfor-
given.

Like Father Like Son.

The death of Capt. Capron yesterday,
from fever contracted during the Cuban
campaign, is particularly sad in that he
was the third of his name to give I'D his
life for his country. His father, who was
killed at the battle of Cherubusco, dur
ing the war with Mexico, commanded Bat
terry f, of the First L. S. Artillery, the
same battery that Capt, Capron, the Sec
oHd, comm anded at the battle of Santiago
The battery has since been officially desig-
mated as Capron's Battery, and properly so.
Capt. Allyn Caprcn, the third. was with the
Rough Riders when he lost his life lighting
calamity before Santiago. A second son of
the Capt. Capron who died yesterday en-
listed in the regular army in the hope Of
earning his CON mission, but died before
success came. The name of Capron is one
that the American people will not soon for
get.

Golf in q New Light.

The annual tournament for the golf
championship of the United States was
held last week at Morristown, N. j., and
attracted more than hundred contest
ants and several thousand enthusiastic
spectators. The results, however, show
that this transplanted sport has not yet
been thoroughly mastered by American
players, for this year, as in every other
year before, national championship hon
ors have been carried off by a foreign
born player, one who learned the intrica-
cies of the game over Scotch links.
But what was it all about? This is the
question that has agitated the minds of
a great many Of the unregenerate who
know not the difference between stimmie
and a caddy. They fail to see the charm
which the game has upon all who have
ever swatted a ball with a club. Golf has
been described in humorous way as
game where you hit a marble with stick
and then if you find the marble again the
same day you win the game. This is really
slur upon golf. There must be fascina-
ton about it that only its followers can
understand or appreciate; to the rest of
mankind 1t Is worse than a closed book.
They regard golf not as game. but as a
disease more contagious than any other
known to the medical fraternity.
Now would it seem that these unfortu-
mates have been in error all the time.
Golf is not disease; it is cure Here is
an extract from a paper on Golf from a
Neurological Viewpoint" read before the
American Neurological Society by a ia
nous specialist of this city:
TT combines exercise pleasure and fresh
air without that risk of injury to heart,
lungs or nervous system as is the case
in certain other exercises in which there
Is high blood pressure and arterial tension
There is absolutely danger attached to
the game, and consequently no accidents
eEsue. Unlike the bicycle, it is doubtful

old age, childhood or certain hysterical con-
ditions which would be aggravated by such
exercise as bicycling. swimming horse
back riding or by mountain climbing"
Further along in the same paper appears
the following, the value of which can
scarcely be appreciated by laymen gener-
ally:
Il may say that in all affections marked
by slowing of oxidation or in those conse-
quent upon lntoXIcatiOn by the products of
organic assassination, the game of golf
Is 10 be recommended as the best method
of bringing about a cure"

spects the capital has shown the way, has
created new standards, particularly in the
manual training of the young. 1t is, there
fore. pleasing to find. upon the eve of an
other school year, substantial evidence Of
the fruits of this enterprise in the form of
liberal appropriation for the erection of
a large, modern structure especially de-
sigEed for the manual training of the chill
dren of the schools. 1t was hoped that two
such buildings would be provided but Con-
gress saw fit to start with one, and it Is
not to be questioned that it will prove SO
successful and satisfactory a feature of the
system that the other will follow in short
order.
The year opens with slightly enlarged
teaching force. Some improvement is yet
to be desired in this direction. The best re-
suits are obtained when the ratio of pupils
to teachers is reduced below that which
economical measures have created In this
city. 1t is to be hoped that as the years
go by and Congress learns the lesson of
true economy the number of instructors
will be steadily increased to meet more
fully the steadily increasing burden of re-
sponsibiltty upon each.
Five new buildings are this year added to
the equipment, distributed as to relieve
nearby school accommodations for chill
dren who have heretofore been obliged to
go far from their homes for their daily les
sons. Two other buildings, not counting
that for the manual training purposes, are
in course of erection and one is to be re-
built so that the opening of the school
year of '9S-9 finds the system as well out
fitted as ever before in local history and
in some respects far ahead Of the capitals
previous record. AS a new feature a start
the schools, which has heretofore in this
city been regarded as essentially field
for private enterprise. The gradual ex-
pansion of the public school system. how
ever. has broken down many barriers and
now this city will have an opportunity to
in the little arts of childhood which tend
to make the fingers nimble, the minds alert,
the eyes discriminative and the nature
plant and kindly. Doubtless this feature,
if found trial to succeed and to be
capable OF safe expansion, will ultimately
prove to be a marked blessing to many
parents who are now obliged to leave their
children to the questionable influences OF
the streets at their most tmpressionable
age or else place them in the graded
schools so ,early as to IRISH them through
before their minds and bodies are strong
enough to bear the strain of continuous
instruction.

Some Enemies of Civilization.

Edward Everett Hale, in a sermon de-
livered in Boston yesterday to congrega-
ton composed in part of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge, /. o. o. F., said:
We meet at the end of one of the great
wars of the ages In one hundred days
God set forward the civilization of the
world one hundred years. The lesson of
the war Is like the last fash from thun-
derstorm: the lesson of peace on earth,
good will among men,"
Such undoubtedly Is the lesson of the
war with Spain, but is 1t being generally
accepted?
The United States went to the succor of
the Cubans who had taken up arms against
Spain upon the proposition that they were
being cruelty prosecuted and were entitled
to the blessings of free government Spain
had tranpled them under foot and violated
all of her promises of reform to them Her
cynical reply to complaints on this score
Evening star., 1898-09-19

was that the Cubans were a worthless lot,
incapable of government themselves, and
only successfully to be dealt with by the
severe and repressive measures she was
applying. This estimate of the Cubans is
now accepted by pro-Spanish Americans,
who are proposing in effect that the United
States play Spain's game in the island
violate its promise to the Cubans. rate
them savages led by few adventurers,
and put the screws to them without mercy
or hesitation In order that they may be
forced to accept American domination.
When we went to war everybody soon
realized our unprepared state. The Presi-
dent and his lieutenants were f1ampered in
many ways. Our fighting machine was no.
toriously too small for our purposes, and
the means for increasing it's size and MAX
ing 1t effective were tortuous and anti
quated. 1t is only fair to assume until the
contrary is shown upon investigation that
the men In authority tried to do their duty
There was most lamentable failure in some
of the most important of the business, and
the President Is seeking to have the re-
sponsibihty fixed. But In advance Of all in
quiry, lot of yellow newspapers, yellow
politicians, and yellow members of the sa-
cred calling of which DR.. Hale is himself
so admirable a representative have en-
barked upon hunt for victims, and are
dragging in for punishment men who at
least are entitled to trial and who are
actually asking for one
Civilization, We believe as DR.. Hale as
serts, has been set forward by the war,
but the individuals who are at present
bespattering the Cuban people with vitu-
peration, and others who are scapegoat-
hunting in a spirit of malicious politics or
cheap sensationalism, are doing their best
to set 1t back again
