the part of the United States to treat
Spain generously and to limit, so far
as possible the extension of America
administrative responsibilities, beyond
seas The papers agree that there is
limited liability in warfare. Spain is
naturally sore, but they point that she
must put up with the loss of Porto
Rico, and if she is well advised, she will
close with the American terms.
The Morning Post says:
Since the United States have decid-
ed to take Porto Rico, there is no need
to be fastidiOus about Cuba. 1t must
be seen now that the resolution of con-
gress was an unnecessary tieing of
hands. If it is consistent with Justice
and morality to annex Porto Rico, it
cannot be wicked or unjust to annex
Cuba.
The spectacle of a government after
a succession of victories, spending days
IN discussing a reply to a request for
terms of peace is a novelty by no means
agreeable The art of seeing how the
wind blows is of very little use for di-

The Standard advises Spain to accept
the terms, and is not surprised that
America does not intend to annex the
Philippines. 1t says:
IF German temper had been officially
manifested, the Philippines would have
been annexed, just to show that Amer
lea was not to be bullied. We would be
glad if she did annex them, and in any
case. We do not believe that she will
like the idea of Spain sending the Gu

discovery to u career Of public veal or
woe are easy.
So much fer the disprcportion cf high
and low professional singing. The fact
that more women than men study song
is doubtless to be accounted for by the
superstition that fourishcs in many dis
tricts that selling dry goods or keeping
books is a more manly career than sing
ing. This public creed keeps many a
man from developing the gold mine in
his larynx. Besides, there is, especially
in America, a sentiment that q man
should not depend on his father after
he has reached his majority.
1t is a wholesome sentiment ON some
accounts, a pernicious sentiment On 9TH
ers, but many a father will set his son
up in business with a sum Of money
which if devoted to paying his artistic
tuition q few years on i'll his twentics
might give him a capital Of unlimited
possibilities. -Godey's Magazine.

Than Men.
In preparing a list of American con-
cert singers it wa curious to note that
the number of tcnor just exactly equal
cd the combined number OF barltones
and BASES. 1t is probably true that
there arc just about two cultlvated ten-
ors TO each baritone or bass. There arc
similarly about twice as many sopranos
MS there arc mczzo sopranos or coiltral-
tos and there are probably two trained
sopranos to every tenor.
Tho reasons for these ratios are prop
ably these: A higher voice, being inc
more unusual, attracts to Its owner 'he
more attention. The natural tenor ana
sonrono arc accordingly encouraged TO
cultivate what may, after all, be only
, mcdiocro ability. The mezzo soprano
or baritone, however, is Thought OF as
on1v an ordinary mortal, and a voice OF
tho utmost possibilities may be left TO

A SHIP.
Composition Metal Now Largely Used.
Work Quickly and Handsomely Done.

Yachts built of wood are shcathcd
with copper, and so arc many t%ugboats.
Merchant ships are sometimes slcathcd
with copper, but nowadays the material
most commonly used is q composition
metal which in appearance resembles
brass. 1t does not Wear so long as cop
Per, but it costs less. The composition
metal comes in sheets about 3 feet by l
foot 4 inches. They are fastened on the
ship with nails of the sane material.
Sometimes the shcathi2g is nailed di-
rectly On t the hull of the ship. Some
times it is nailed over another shcathlnE
If felt, which helps to preserve tho
calling i'll the seams.
When the ship has been placed in q
drydock or raised out Of water on %
floating dock, tho old metal is stripped
of, and if she is to have a felt sheath
ing the bottom of the ship is first paint
cd with a coat Of pitch, and the sheets
Of felt are laid upon that, and then the
sheets of metal are nailed on over them.
The work is done very rapidly and ut
the same time with great nicely. Every
nail head is sunk SO that it is flush
with the plate. If the hand were passed
ovcr the shcathing anywhere, it would
be found smooth. If the nail heads were
permitted to project, they would Of
course interfere with the speed Of tho
vessel.
Scvcnty-fivo men can shcathc an 800
ton ship in two days. Tho cost Ct
shcathing such a ship with composition
metal over felt, including materii
dock charges, labor and evcrythin;
would be about 81, 900, or a little less,
and such u sheathing would last about
two long voyages.-New York Sun.

| SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.

Those interested In bringing about an i'm
provement in the street car service are con-
sidering the advisability of going before the
legislature with bill providing that upon
the presentation To the city council OF
petition bearing a certain number Of sigma
lures the council shall designate a day for
election to be held at which the question Of
granting another street railway franchise
shall be voted upon. Under the existing
laws 1t remains optional with the council
whether such question should be voted on
or not. The plans now contemplate the pre-
senting OF the question OF another franchise
| to the people here at the election next
April. Residents Of both the east and west
sides are clamoring for another line Of
transportation to be operated between this
J city and Omaha. The eastsders have the
support Of the South Side Improvement club
| OF Omaha and 1t 10 stated that an effort Is to
| be made to obtain q franchise for another
| company both In this city and In Omaha.
The franchise under which the Omaha
Street Railway company Is now operating
Its Twenty-fourth street line was granted at
! q special election held on July a. 1887. At
that time two companies were fighting for
an opening here. One was known as the
| Omaha Motor company and the other as the
South Omaha Street Railway company. On
the date OF the special election mentioned
| the people had the privilege Of voting for or
against either Of the propositions submitted.
/ The records show that the Omaha Motor
company's proposition received 274 votes as
against 1876 for the South Omaha company.
A meeting Of the council was held . day or
two after this special election when the
vote was canvassed and the franchise was
| granted to the Omaha company. This
franchise was to run for a period OF forty
years from the granting OF the same. SO 1t
will be seen that the company now holding
the franchise has a sure thing for twenty
nine years yet. While the franchise granted
gives to the Omaha company the right to lay
tracks upon. under or above every street
and alley in the city there 10 nothing to pre-
vent the granting OF the same right to an
other company. One paragraph In the
ordinance specifies that the granting Of the
franchise In question shall not interfere In
| any manner with the granting Of similar
privileges to other companies In connec-
tion with the proposed line 1t 10 held that II

Little Private Car Line.

Residents over in Corrigan Place and
Good Luck addition are figuring on a little
street car line of their own. Within the
last two years this section Of the city has
grown up very rapidly and it is asserted
that over 200 voters live in the localities
mentioned. The idea is to operate a car line
along Thirty-ninth street from @ street to
Good Luck addition. II built the line would
be private property and would have no con-
nection with the line now operating on @
street. The people in that section would
like to see the @ street line extended to
either Thirty sixth or Thirty ninth streets
and then run south few blocks. This
would assist materially in furnishing means
OF transportation to the large number OF
packing house people. who are buying land
and building houses in the territory south
of Q street.

Quired to attend this school, while with the
others 1t Is largely a matter Of choice, but
most OF them find 1t more agreeable to at
tend the school than to loaf around the
quarters during the long winter evenings.
As o rule they display great interest in
the study Of geography and history. oc-
casionally these schools get UP in the
branches as high algebra, but that is
not expected Of them.
These schools and lyceums are conducted
for six months each year during the winter
months, and to assist all in the work each
post has library. where books are OBJ.
tained under similar regulations as govern
a public library. This effort to educate
the soldier on other lines than that Of fight
ing is believed to be an important reason
for the superiority Of the service over that
in many other countries.
No word has yet been received at army
headquarters regarding the movement OF
troops from the Department of the Missouri
to the Philippines. Captain Baxter, chief
Quartermaster, says he expects no orders
until within a few days of the date Of the
movement. as all the regiments have been
under orders for month to prepare them
selves for just such an assignment and
there will be nothing for the Quartermas-
ter's department to do in connection with
the moving of the soldiers but secure trans
portation, which can be done in a few
days.

from fever, which makes 1t impracticable
for them to come to Omaha. There are
about thirty members Of the regiment to be
