WILMINGTON must not be cast behind
the times in matters of public education.
Like New York, this city should decide
to join the large number of cities which
yearly elect or appoint women on Boards
of Public Education. On Saturday Mayor
Van Wyck OF Greater New York spoke
to a delegation of teachers who had dis
covered discrepancy in the school bud
get for 1899. The commissioners knew of
the mistake but they were apparently
too busy to give it personal attention.
So the women appeared. To them the
Mayor said:
'I'm going to advertise for frst.class
men who can and will give all their
time az Commissioners OF Education.
The great trouble at the present time is
that the School Commissioners cannot
give enough time to their duties and the
result is they know little or nothing
about the detailed work OF their impor-
tant department. think it would be a
good idea to appoint few women COM
missioners. We could find some excel

tion of this city it would seem are too
busy at times to take cognizance of the
fact that more room is needed for pupils
and that certain little Irregularities exist
in this school or in that school. Would
it be good idea to appoint few women
commissioners? Yes, and excellent
workers in the interest of public educa-
tion may be selected from the efficient
corps of local teachers.

AN IRON GRAVEYARD.
Venezuela Wants Pennsylyanians to
Try This Unique Task and Fur.
Disb Bids for the Work.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. lS.-The National
Manufacturers Association, in this city,
yesterday received letter from Rudolf
Doege, manager of its warehouse at Car
acas, Venezuela, asking that Pennsyl-
yania architects and iron manufacturers
be invited to send proposals to Caracas
for the construction of an absolutely
unique iron cemetery, to accommodate
25,0O0 bodies at the outset, and to be
constructed in that city.
This novel proposition is no joke. J.
W. Nagle, of the Association, read the
letter in full, and learned that the Vene-
zuelans and Mr.. Dodge were in sober
earnest. They had seen in the Manufac-
turers Association sample warehouse at
Caracas wonders of invention sufficient
to suggest that Yankee ingenuity could
be made to help them in exactly the line
indicated. Venezuela is flat country
in that vicinity, and the stone graves in
which bodies are buried above the sur
face are not waterproof, but are decided
ly leaky. Hence, the Venezuelans asked
Mr.. Dodge to see what could be done to-
ward securing an iron graveyard con-
structed in sections in this country and
put together at Caracas.
They want the cemetery built in the
form of square, with ornamental iron
base and an attractive railing around it.
Consequently, architects will be invited
to sbumit designs for the iron graveyard
desired, and if one OF these designs sat.
isfies the Venezuelans the ironwerkers
of this State will be asked to bid for tht
unique construction, and the nearly 25,
600 bodies now inferred in leaky stone
graves at Caracas will be transferred II
the new iron tombs.

Treaty in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-The President
will submit the peace treaty to the Sem
ate during the present session; that much
has been definitely determined upon.
The text is still lacking here, and as the
commissioners have not thought proper
to entrust the document to the mails it
will not reach Washington before next
Saturday.
Although desirous of placing it before
the Senate at the earliest opportunity,
the President will not be able to do so for
a week after its receipt for the reason
that Congress will then be in holiday
recess Meanwhile the treaty will not be
given to tile public.

A Daily Service.

The Wilmington Del. Sun says: "The
legitimate manner OF advertising at this
time, as it is at all times, is through the
newspapers. The papers are being read
now by the people who have money with
which to buy Christmas goods" The
power OF the press to help the merchants
and to help the people has never had a
clearer demonstration in Philadelphia
than it is getting now. The newspapers
are throwing as much business into the
stores as the latter, with their delivery
service, can get away with; and this pub
lie service will not be less conspicuous in
the new year than it has been for weeks
past.-The Philadelphia Record.

AGAINST ONE MAN.
Over 100000 Women Throughout the
Country Trying to Unseat Rep.
resentatiye Roberts Of Utah.

New YORK, Dec. 1S.-Two hundred
thousand women, enrolled in societies OF
the Presbyterian Church, are making a
fight against one man-Brigham H. Rob.
erts, Representatiye-elect OF Utah-to
prevent him from taking his seat in Con-
gress. Mr.. Roberts is polygamist. His
wives are said to number three.
The argument of these women is that
polygamy is unlawful, and that to allow
Roberts to retain his seat would be
equivalent to indorsing it, besides being
defiance to Christian civilization.
Senator George F. Edmunds, than
whom there is scarcely a higher au-
thority on constitutional law in this
country, and the author in the United
States Senate of the anti-polygamy law.
says in his statement that the national
Governmt is powerless to prevent
polygamy from being lawful in any
State if its lawmakers so choose to de-
clare it.
Carried to its logical conclusion Senator
Edmunds' assertion means that a sover-
eign State could even declare polyandry
a plurality of husbands to each wife
legal custom, and that the Federal
Government would have no authority to
check or destroy it.
The opposition to Roberts was first
started in Presbyterian church in Salt
Lake City. From there it was taken up
by the State Board of Home Missions
OF the same denomination, and later by
Presbyterian women throughout the
country.
In almost every state women have filed
protests against the seating of the Utah
representative.
Other denominations have given their
influence to the opposition. Petitions
and circulars urging the receiver to pro
test to the Congressman in her district
are now being sent North, East, South
and West. ~.

WILL RECEIVE 100000.
This Will be Paid Peace Com
missiOners Day and Reid for Their
Services in Paris.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-It is stated here
that ex.Secretary OF State Day and White
law Reid will receive at least 100000
each for assisting in the peace negotia.
tions in Paris. James Bassett Moore,
secretary of the Peace Commission, will
receive $4,000 for his services in Paris.
Senators Davis, Frye and Gray, under
the law cannot draw two salaries, and
they will have only their expenses paid
in addition to their Senatorial salaries.
This information was cleaned at the
State Department today. 1t was re-
ceived by the politicians generally like
flood Of light from dark cabinet. 1t ex-
plained why Secretary Day and Assist
ant Secretary of State Moore resigned
their permanent positions to take up
duties certain to last not more than
three months.
There was no reason why Mr.. Day, as
Secretary of State, and Mr.. Moore as As
sistant Secretary Of State, could not have
acted as Peace Commissioners.
Mr.. Day had talked OF resigning from
the Cabinet because OF his poverty and
the necessity he experienced of earning
more than 5000 year. His friends
conceived the idea of his temporarily
stepping out Of the United States service
for the purpose of making comfortable
sum, after which he could easily afford
to return to the Government at the slen-
der compensation it gives its employees.
The sum of 500, 900. each for Messrs.
Day and Reid is the minimum figure. 1t
is payable without reference to Congress,
out Of the National Defense Fund of $50,
100000. The actual expenses OF the en-
tire commission. outside of these fees,
will be a bagatclle when compared with
quarter Of a million, which three dis
tinguished gentlemen will receive.
The Commission will have consumed
ninety.six days at the expense of the
Government. The aggregate personal
expenses of the five commissioners at
$25 day each, will be $ll, $50. The ex-
penses OF the attaches will equal this
sum, as they are all carried on their re-
spective pay rolls, and each is given SIS a
day for his personal use.
Had Day and Moore retained their
State Department Offices While serving on
the Peace Commission, they would have
been debarred, like Senator'S Davis. Frye
and Gray, from any extra official com
pensation for their services.

NEGOTIATING FOR A LOAN.
Russia Reported as Wanting an
Immense Sum of Money From the
United States,

CHICAGO, Dec. IS.-The president Of
the Commercial National Bank, OF this
city, James H. Eckels, said yesterday:
81 am credibly informed that great
foreign power has sent representatives to
the United States, and that they are now
in New York for the purpose of nego-
tiating loan OF immense proportions.
"If the source of my information is re-
liable it is the first instance in the his
tory of the United States of foreign
power borrowing here"
The statement may startle the general
public, but in the financial world the re-
port will cause no astonshment, al
though the action will be unprecedented
in the monetary history of the country.
For nearly two months money has
been ''the cheapest thing in America, :"
asIfnanciers phrase it. For a fortnight
call loans have been made in Wall
street as low as l /! per cent, while short
time borrowers with approved collateral
are accommodated at 8! per cent. in
Chicago.
The bond markets are absolutely bare
of first-class securities yielding more
than 81 per cent. Today five per cent
coupon issues were bought on the ex-
changes at 1877, and high grade stocks
paying dividends at the rate of 5 per
cent. per annum were quoted at 1872.
Chicago and Northwestern common was
an instance.
Firms that make speciality OF invest.
ment securities acknowledge that the de-
mand for values has exceeded the sup
ply three fold.
The National Treasury states that for
the current month money in circulation
has increased $20,303, 722. This follow.
ing gain of $5O0OO.OOO for October,
makes total expansion of about $75,
O00,0 900 for the last sixty days.
Compared with year ago the tota
circulation of all kinds Of money il
$l65, 795, 900 greater, and amounts in al
to 81 1856, 100000. The perspective re-
veals even more money.
On the first of the year corporations
will distribute about 800, 100000 in in
terest and dividends. Besides exports
are increasing rapidly, while imports arc
decreasing quite as speedily. The --latest
figures tell that the exports of merchan
disc from this country exceed those O
Great Britain for the first time in the
history Of the two countries. The United
States is in the unique position of desir
ing to buy the American stocks ant
bonds that are held abroad. 1t is thi
condition that has warranted foreign
government in making tentative over
ture for big loan here.
Tie borrower is supposed to be Russia
The representatives of that country wer
negotiating with French bankers SOM
time ago for large sum, but the transac
tion was not concluded.
Money being dearer in France and il
England than in the United States, tn
inference is logical that the :oreigl
representatives who are negotiating
large loan in this country are acting 10
the Cars government.

Savannah People. Are settled
for Fully Four Years.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Dec. Is. The recep-
tion Of President Mckinley and the
members OF his Cabinet by the people OF
Savannah yesterday more than equalled
in hospitality and completeness OF ar.
rangement any previous experiences
which have marked the Presidential trip
in the South. 81
The party arrived from Montgomery
at II q. m., reviewed 10000 troops sta
toned around Savannah, took o trip
down the Savannah river, and was
entertained this evening at BAN
quet rendered by the Chamber Of Com
merce. {{ GN5
The enthusiasm OF the citizens and the
$4,000 persons who, 1t is estimated
came to the city from the surrounding
country to greet the President was
fully equal to the demonstrations which
have distinguished the trip In other
cities.
Previous to the Presidents speech q
cordial welcome had been extended to
him by D. G. Purse, President of the Re-
ception Committee, and by the Mayor Of
Savannah, T. w. Moldrim.
At the banquent in the De Soto Hotel,
where the Presidential party is staying,
President Mckinley, amid frequent ap-
plause, addressed his audience OF more
than 200 persons as follows:
"There is cause for congratulation that
with the grave problems before US, grow
ing out Of the war with Spain we are free
from any DIVISIONS at home.
''Our financial and revenue policies
cannot be changed for at least four
years, and. whatever legislation may be
had affecting them during that period
will be to improve and strengthen, not
destroy them.
"The public mind must, therefore, re-
pose in reasonable security while busi-
ness will proceed without apprehension
of serious and sudden changes, so dis
turbing to the commercial world and so
distracting to the business men. All of
which is fortunate for the country, for
every interest and every section Of the
country.

A SPECIAL cable dispatch to The hss,
81 Philadelphia, says:
Senator Gray, it is understood, dis
likes the terms OF the treaty in regard
to the Philippines, and regards the &C.
tion OF the Administration in taking
the archipelago az ruthless. He signed
the treaty, however, in spite Of his OBJ
jections, because the treaty was essen
tial to put an end to the war. He ex-
poets the treaty will be confirmed by
the Senate for the same reaeon."
As The SUN said editorially yesterday,
the Hon. George Gray, Of Delaware, fully
realizes the duty of public servant to
the people. Mr.. Gray's last act carries
with it the noble principles which express
the truedefinition of public official. !,
George Gray was sent to the United
States Senate to represent the State OF
Delaware and the citizens thereof.
Though chosen by the voters of one
party, his mind has always been above
party prejudices and never has he been
connected with strictly party legislation
which was advocated by the political or
ganization to which he belongs, to the
detriment of the whole people.
George Gray as United States Sen
ator believed that his private views on
matters of State should give way to the
will of the people whom he represents.
Likewise was his stand and the Paris
Peace Commission. Senator Gray de-
clared against the taking Of the Philip
pine Archipelago, but he was sent to that
Paris conference to assist in the arrange
ment of a treaty Of peace which would
end the war at an early date. 1t was
the demand of the people. The Della
ware statesman who sat on the commits
sion is not the man to defeat the will of
the people. However, the expression OF
Senator Gray's in the above dispatch
only enforces his honesty of conviction
and the frankness with which he deals
with the world.

SAYS the Philadelphia Record: "The
gunboat Wilmington has been selected
to make a crniseS in South American
waters, including the magnificent river
systems of that Continent. Drawing
only nine feet of water. the Wilmington
would be able to steam up the Amazon
and its tributaries almost to the foot of
the Andes, and up the Orinoco and the
Rio de la Plata, the Parana and the Para
quay to points where the American flag
has never yet been seen. Whether the
cruise shall result, as expected, in the
stimulation of American trade in the
regions named remains to be seen. Be-
lief in the effectiveness OF gunboats as
advertising mediums is a superstition
growing out of the misinterpretation of
the Eighteenth Century war cry that
trade follows the fag.''
