NEW DISTRICT BUREAU.
Department of Electrical Control to
BE Established.

The District Commissioners are desirous
Of establishing under the District govern
ment a department of electricity. They
telieve the growth of the electrical inter-
ests warrants their consolidation. The Com
missioners propose, therefore, to organize a
department of electrical control and place
some competent and trained person at its
head. They have referred the matter to
the attorney for the District for an opinion
as to whether there is any reason in law
why they should not establish the pro-
posed department.

About the Cubsns.

A correspondent Of the Inter Ocean
says this OF our new wards, the
Cubans:
II have been among Indians, Chin.
ese, and Mexicans, but for downright
worthlessness, the Cubans beat them
all. They are a lazy, dirty, filthy,
worthless set Of rascals. They will
eat our rations, but won't fight. They
were Of no assistance whatever to US.
How q nation can be made out OF that
kind Of material is a mystery. Then
to think OF recognizing those fellows
as q nation! The American people
will never know OF the humiliation
they have been saved in the action Of
the President in firmly standing out
against the recognition Of their in
dependence. 1t will be a long hard
Job to make a nation out OF the stuff
that is in Cuba. The Spaniards are
unspeakably mean and detestable, but
they are ahead OF the Cubans."
The experiment Of a free govern
ment in Cuba will be a short one.
Then will come annexation.

Kansas Bankruptcy Claimants.

Cleaning up old debts by means Of
the bankruptcy law is in progress and
many Of the boom time promoters
are making their way clear by this
means. Peter Emery, Of Lawrence,
who has been prominent in invest.
ment schemes, was one OF the first to
ask for a clearing up Of his record.
He owes in round numbers 5000, 900,
large portion Of it to eastern banks
and insurance companies. As he
schedules his possessions at about
800 there is little hope for the cred
itOrs in any event. The Rev. John
D. Knox, OF Topeka, who flew high
and was the trusted investor of funds
for people all over the country, is an
other. There are 600 creditors, OF
which 60 are preachers and they hold
claims for over 100000. The only
available asset for the creditors is q
plat Of ground in Knox's third addi-
ton to Topeka valued at $50. 1t is
little wonder that the investors OF the
east who had such experiences are
afraid OF Kansas. In most cases,
however, they were the victims Of
rascals or Of men of poor judgment
and would have been heeced had the
investments been in any other part Of
the country. Owing to the peculiar
laws OF the State the homestead is
sacred and cannot be taken by credi-
tors. The home Of Knox is one of the
finest in Topeka. including about 96
acres Of ground and magnificent
house, all valued at $4,000. Yet he
can 60 through the bankruptcy court
and be free Of obligations.

The Peace Terms.

The word Of peace has gone over
the wires to every American COM
msnder and the war with Spain is a
thing Of the past. 1t has been fruit
full Of new experiences, broader life
and firmer knitting Of the ties Of
patriotism and though it has cost
many lives and round billion dol
lars OF treasure it has been worth
much IS civilizer and has placed
this country higher among the ma.
tions OF earth than It ever stood be-
fore.
The terms Of peace are exceedingly
simple and are 20 broad and general,
leaving all detail to the peace COM
mission, that there is no opportunity
for specific criticism. Indeed the
United States has secured more than
anyone at the beginning Of the war
expected 1t would. 1t gets Porto
Rico, the most beautiful island Of the
West Indies, with Its fine climate and
good roads and its rich soil. 1t gets
one Of the Ladrones, those sleepy
isles OF the west which were taken
without shot being fired. Manila
and probably the island on which it
stands Is to be ours and the remain
der OF the matter is to be settled by q
commission.
Only one thing might have been
added by this nation and that was the
cession OF Cuba. The time will come
when that island will be United
States territory and it may as we'll be
now as later. An American govern.
ment, managed for good citizens and
backed up by enough Mauser rifles to
enforce commands, would make Cuba
behave itself in short order. The in
surgents are neither fitted for govern
ment OF such an island nor have they
an organization. There can be no
more reconcentrados- they must have
all died months ago. The peace COM
mission may as well demand Cuba
and it will get what it desires. No
body cares whether Spain likes 1t or
not. That brutal, selfish, ignorant
nation has no rights that anybody is
bound to respect.

Annex Cuba and Rule It.

In the New York Times Mr.. s.
Sans, who went to Cuba strongly
prepossessed in favor Of the natives Of
the island, tells a few facts about the
people.
He finds that the Cuban republic,
which some Of our leading statesmen
were so fierce to recognize a few
months ago, is a chimera. Writing
from Santiago, July 20, he says there
are no "Cuban people" in that city,
no Cuban aspirations, no Cuban SEN
timent. The people OF Santiago
without exception, he tells us, fear
Cuba" as well as despise Spain.
That is, they fear the condition that
would result from recognizing Maxi
mo Gomez and his followers as a
government as much as they despise
the Spanish misrule that has come to
an end. Mr.. Sans also furnishes the
following itemized list Of the services
rendered by the insurgents under
Gen. Garcia to our army around San
tiago;
FIFTY Cubans took active part in
the battle Of Ell Caney.
lone or two Cubans fought with
conspicuous bravery at FL Pozo in the
attack on the blockhouse at San Juan.

much efficiency, as scouts at the bat

Our esteemed local contemporary,
the Evangelical Visitor, has entered
the realm OF fashion and hits a couple
ticks in the following poetical strain:
God formed the forehead
The temple Of thought;
The devil made bangs
And brought 1t to naught
God gave the beard
Indicating the man:
Satan blocked out
And made him a sham"
As bangs are out of style and not
worn nowadays, the men get the
worst Of 1t.
