INDUSTRIAL HOME SCHOOL.
Annual Report Submitted to Super.
intendent OF Charities.

Annual REPORT 10
intendent Of Charities.
The second annual report of the board
of trustees of the District Industrial Home
School was submitted today to Mr.. Herbert
w. Lewis. superintendent of charities, COW
ering the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898.
The school is shown to be in a fiourishing
condition. There were "a children admit
ted during the year, SO boys and 81 girls,
and Al boys and 10 girls We're discharged
during the same period there being 90
children-66 boys and 20 girls-in the school
June 80. 1898.
$4,000 from Congress, and the sum of S4,-
539. "A was received from other sources, in
Guiding $1,595.42 from the greenhouses,
$53756 from the carpenter shop, $2,296.67
from the board of children's guardians,
and $109.I9 from miscellaneous sources.
The expenditures were S13 70O.23. as fol-
lows: Salaries, N,S15.40; fuel, $l,17679;
light. s219.S3, and supplies, 81, 7,42S.30 1eay-
ing q balance of 81 S39.21.
Inquiries made of those having in their
employ children instructed in the home
elected the most gratifying replies. Messrs.
Woodward & Lothrop, who have several
boys in their employ, wrote to the home
that they would be glad to have more like
them. as they were among their very best
and most efficient employees.
The new home now in course of con-
struction. for which Congress appropriated
$50, ,0O0, will. 1t is stated, add greatly to the
comfort and efficiency of the school, al
though the plant as whole 1t is claimed
will not even then be what such an tnsti-
tuition requires. The suggestion is again
| made that the property should be sold,
tract of at least 100 acres, more remote
from the center of the city be purchased,
and a proper system of buildings be de-
signed and constructed especially for the
use of the school.

THREE OF A KIND.

A reader Of The Tribune suggests that Colh-
modorc Schley ought to command inc sq""o'
ron which will soon start In pursuit or Cal''"r"'
and asks us to print an article on the relative
merits of Schley, Watson and Sampson. we
certainly shall not do so. nor do we thlnK 'hat
such suggestions serve a useful purpose at the
present time. To judge by remarkable rec
ord. all the officers Of our Navy and the men
under their command are doing their whole
duty in their respective stations. and there IS
reason to believe that they will continue 10
fulfil every obligation with answering fdehty
and with high measure Of success. 1t was
natural and proper to rejoice that the task OF
destroying Ccrveras fleet was devolved by an
accident Of the service upon the man by whom
It had been bottled up In Santiago Bay IL
would be unjust to others and ungrateful TO
him TO make that glorious achievement an &C.
casion for drawing invidious distinctions and
fomenting prejudices.
No one Of the skilful and valiant men TO
whom the Nations honor is committed asks for
or wants partisan propaganda ut home.
Sampson and Watson and Schley will perform
the work they find tc do, each within the sphere
OF action assigned TO him. and we do not ex-
pect that jealolsies will arise to augment their
labors embarrass their superlors and suly their
fame.

ABOUT WAR PRICES.

The country has now endured over two
months Of war, over four months Of vigorous
preparations for war, with heavy expenditures.
and has even had some opportunity to Judge
what effect the new war taxes may have upon
prices. II Is already evident that those who
apprehended great advance in prices in conse-
QUence Of war were at least premature Wheat
Is % cents lower than when war began and
corn Il fraction lower. Cotton Is also fraction
lower, as well as lard, mess pork. live hogs and
coffee. Those who looked for an advance in
articles of food to be caused by Government
purchases apparently forgot the fact that
hundred men in military or naval service do
not consume more food than the same men
would consume In their homes II earning con-
sderably more money than the Government
pays. The demand for such supplies has
changed somewhat in qualities. but has not
been mt all increased In the aggregate. Nor
was there ever to suppose that such an
increase could be caused by the withdrawal OF
no; man in hundred from the producing
force Of the country. The great rise in wheat
was due and the subsequent reaction has been
due 10 causes with which the war had legiti-
mntcly nothing TO do, and In other food prod
ucts the tendency has been toward slightly
lower prices.
II will occasion greater surprise to many.
however. to find that prices Of manufactured
products have not been advancing Some such
products the Government has been buying large.
ly, and part Of them have been required for OBJ
jects which had no parallel IN individual con
sumption OF the soldier or sailor before
enlistment, such rs armor for vessels. guns
and ammunition. iron and steel for military
and naval use. and leather for harness. Many
Will infer that the Government purchases OF
clothing In large quantities must have given n
stimulus TO the market for cottons and wool
lens and shoes. But the Inference seems to he
misleading In the following statement there
are compared under iron three quotations Of pig
and prices o: eight most important products Of
iron and steel: under woollcns prices Of twelve
OF the most representative grades OF woollen
cloths. and under cottons. prices Of twelve
