A Word to Judge McComas.

From the Baltimore American of Thursday.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Baltimore
Sun yesterday printed an interesting despatch
from Annapolis stating that Judge McComas
sis heartily in favor of the reorganization of
the Police Board In conversation the
judge is reported as rating police reorganiza-
ton first among the things that the legislature
should adopt. ''He could not see how Re-
pablicans should hesitate about the police
bill, the despatch further said.
Judge McComas, except recently, when
planning and working for his election to the
United States Senate. has not been in Balti
more full week for dozen years. For IL
number Of years he has practically lost track
of Baltimore, and has been an actual resident
of Washington. He does not know the local
conditions or the local sentiment here. His
participation in this matter, which has been
an open scandal in the legislature, would be
bad at best. but when we remember that he
is still on the federal bench, with the inten
ton OF serving almost year longer, his action
becomes something more than an indiscre-
ton If he is bound by any pledges to help
out the Sixth District Combine, he should
certainly not show his hand so openly while
he is a Judge.

An Idea Of War.

The following picture, drawn by DR.. Rus
sell of the London Times, on the battle field
of Sedan, will give an idea of what war is and
its sckening results:
LET your readers fancy masses of colored
rags glued together with blood and brains and
pinned into strange shapes by fragments of
bones. Let them conceive mems bodies
without heads, legs without bodies, heaps of
human entrals attached to red and blue cloth,
and disembowled corpses in uniform, bodies
lying about in all attitudes with skulls shat
tered, faces blown off, hips smashed, bones,
flesh and gray clothing all pounded together
as if brayed in a mortar, extended for miles,
not very thick in any one place, but recurring
perpetually for miles for weary hours, and
then they cannot with the most vivid imagi.
nation come mp TO the sickenng reality of
that butchery."
Can anybody really believe that the ''un-
mentionable condition" of the reconcentrados
weuld be improved by causing fine bodies of
a score of thousands of young Americans to
be pounded together as if brayed in NOR
tar?; As General Sherman said War is
cruelty

Radically Wrong.

Mr. George II. Maxwell recently delivered
an address on Irrigation and Education be-
fore Il local association at Colusa. California.
Here is an extract
Our whole system for the education OF
youth is radically wrong. 1t ignores what
should be the ultimate object Of all ednca-
tion-to train boy to earn an honorable
livelihood by his labor. The ideal that is now
set before every boy is 10 become million
aire. All cannot be milliouares and in this
ambition the multitude must fail. What the
state should do is to educate producers
farmers and miners-and train every boy so
that he will know how to get living for him
self and family from ten acres of land. Then
let it be recognized and taught TO every boy
that an honorable independence and Il home
on the land is the highest ideal Of American
citizenship. Nine-tenths of the boys whs
are now graduated from our State University
are untitled by their education for earning
their living. They are trained in theories but
in nothing practical.

James Harmon, an old track-walker, and his wife,
who live in a shanty near the railroad. Mt State
Line, Pa, twenty miles east of Erie, were tortured
by three masked men, who robbed them of more
than $1,000 the savings of many years, on Thursday
night of last week. One of the robbers was cap
tured at westfeld, and sheriff's posse is on the
trail of the others. He gives his hame as Joseph
Leggett He has been identified by Hannon, whose
injuries are serious and Mrs. Harmon is believed TO
be fatally injured. Harmon refused to reveal the
hiding place of his money and was heated into un-
consciousness. His wife, believing him dead,
yielded after being choked and beaten, and gave
the robbers the information they wanted.

The island Of Cuba is q productive and i'm
portant one, and just now is holding the at.
tention of the civilized world. For so i'm
poytant place it is singular that accurate
information concerning it is lacking As to
area and population no two authorities agree.
Gray's atlas. 1876, gives the area at 43, 742
square miles and the population at 1,4l4, sos
The Philadelphia Press, 1898, states the area
at AZ, 22O square miles and the population at
!. 632. 900. Chambers Encyclopedia, 1873,
gives the area at As, 4s9 square miles and the
population at 2. 1s2, 256, and the Washington
Post, 1898, gives the area at As, 700 miles and
the population at 1000, 900.
