meeting Of the board of prison managers was
held today and considerable business was
transacted. The matter of fixing the prices
of binder Irvine for the season came before
the board soon after the meeting convened and
prices were fixed at 61s cents per pound for ali
grades. The price Of MANILA Irvine remains
the same as last year, while the price of siSal
and other grades Is advanced.
A large number Of applications for parole
were considered and fourteen paroles were
granted, together with two DISCHARGES of in
mates serving sentences on the reformatory
plan. The board also decided to increase the
business of the high school apparatus depart

of apparatus manufactured will also include

Germany Is All Right.

There has been a persistent effort to
create the impression in this country
that the attitude of Germany was hos
tile to the United States, eliminating
in a fabricated interview of Ambassa-
dor White with the emperor, in which
the latter was made to express such
sentiments automatically yelled. 1t is
true that the tone of almost the entire
German press was severe in it's criti-
cism of our declaration Of war, but it
does not lie with us to rebuke them
for that. The president did not want
war; did not recommend it in the
message in which he put the RESPONSE
bility upon congress, which, instead Of
granting his request for authority to
intervene, declared war and brusquely
ordered Spain to vacate This was done
after Spain had made every conces-
sion demanded by our government. It
is just as well to bear these facts in
mind when considering the attitude of
the press Of Germany.
But that tone did not imply hostility
toward us or sympathy with Spain.
Doubtless some of the papers, organs
Of the Junkers and Agrarians, haters
of republicanism on general principles,
strenuous opponents Of their own So
cial Democracy, prototypes Of our pro-
tectionists, promoters of the tariff war
with this country, were motived by
sentiments Of hatred. But it was in
| credible that the mass Of the Ger
man people, as the North German
Gazette expresses 1t in the quotation
we give this morning, could feel other
than friendly towards a country to
which millions Of Germans had gone
and made a second home" The caus-
tic comment of Hohenlohe on these pa
pers, as well as all that the emperor
is known to have said, indicates that,
however much commercial rivalry with
England has raised barriers of I'M
friendliness, the ties of race are strong
er than those of trade. and we may be
sure that whatever the complications
of the future the Germanic peoples will
| not be in hostile camps

distances "tremble and shiver," be
avoided. We have had presidents TAX
ing the oath Of office on the steps
of the capitol with snowfiakes falling
on their barred heads, and they have
stood, wrapped in greatcoats, on the
reviewing stands while the military
and civic bodies passed shivering by.
1t was especially noted, as indicating
his endurance, that, at his last inau-
guration, Cleveland occupied the stand
and seemed unmindful of the chilling
winds that swept down the avenue.
Aside from this escape from the in
hospitable March weather OF Washing
ton, the amendment has no merit. 1t
has the demert of postponing for two
months the Inauguration Of a president
chosen the preceding November, and
proportionately increasing the solid OBJ
jectionS to so long or to any greater
interval than is needed to determine
the result of an election. The amend
ment fails to meet and remove what
has been the subject of just criticism,
the absurdity of postponing for thir
teen months the assembling Of the new
house Of representatives. 1t is true
that congress has the power now to
change the date Of meeting from the
first Monday in December of each
year, but the fact that congress has
never done it, and that except as
some great emergency has called con-
gress in extraordinary session, repre-
sentatives chosen in November of one
year do not get into action until the
December of the following year, is
sufficient reason for making manda-
tory the assembling of congress in first
session simultaneously with the begin
ming of it's term.
That intense dread of the people
which characterized the Federalists,
that was so potent in the formation of
the constitution, and which showed it.
self in the removal of the selection of
the president and senate from the peo-
pie, revealed itself in the provision for
the December meeting of congress, and
that inertia which makes change so
difficult has since retained it, 1t has
had the effect of making this repubIi-
can government far less responsive to
popular will than is the hereditary
monarchy of England. There, when
some great question of policy, such as
Was involved in our election of 1880
and 1892. comes to demand solution,
the question can be submitted to
plebiscite and the judgment of the vot-
ers taken and their representatives

months. Could the Fifty-second and

election, we would not have
witnessed the shameful trifing
with the plain mandate Of the people
twice expressed that we saw; nor,
after the election Of 1890, would we
have had the astonishing rejoicing of
Republican press and partisans that

BY the time all the results of the
effort to steal the board of public
works are reached there will be not
only several badly shattered legal repu-
tations that were staked on the sue
cess of the trick, but there will be a
snug sum to be charged off to profit
and loss. The Copeland board carried
things with high hand and went on
and ordered improvements and made
assessments and contracted printing
and other bills just as If there were no
more question of the legitimacy of their
official title than there Is of that Of
our captain-colonel to the mayoralty.
They rejected with scorn the offer to
nave the two boards, the ms and the
elected, act together. duplicating the
proceedings, so as to insure the validity
Of whatever was done. And now, in
decisions knocking out the underpin-
ming from every act Of the Copeland
board, we are getting the fruits of that
little bit of partisan jobbery. When
that board was kicked out on quo war
ranto it expected that it's acts would
stand as those Of a de facto body at
least. But the supreme court wines
away that expectation and holds that,
as the act under which they seized the
Office was unconstitutional, the Cope
land board did not become even a de
facto board, and that each and all their
acts were absolutely and utterly void.
The city will now pay the bills, and
the Republicans will be just as ready
as ever to play any other similar game
at the first opportunity.

NEW YORK, May 12-Cable dis
patches from Madrid intimate that
there is a combination between the
Carlists, Weyler and Robledo, to en-
courage revolts in Spain that will over
throw the present government. They
have decided to offer amendments to
all bills in the cortes which carry ways
and means for prosecuting the war.
They will oppose all financial measures
offered by the ministry. They have
agreed to obstruct the passage Of the
Indemnity bill, and they boast they will
prolong the deadlock in the parliament
Their purpose is to give the anarchists
and the starving an occasion for fresh
riots. and to stir up so much bad feel
ing that one more Spanish defeat will
bring revolution. Weyler then expects
to become military dictator.
