The acquisition Of the site for a
park while unhesitatingly approved
Of leaves every other consideration
relative to it in a crude state. Time
and consideration will determine
what further claims demand. The
property should be developed for the
purposes plated, but the
direction and extent Of that develop
ment is in allegiance. 1t is probable
that the public spirit and desire Of
the resident population to see the
site placed ina tidy and 'presentable"
condition would furnish voluntary
labor sufficient to accomplish this
desideratum. As little can be ac-
complished in these times without
the u.s. of the machine" some
o1icials-as park commissioner
should be designated to direct the
work intelligently.

The climate Of Cuba is not re-
sponsibIe for the unhealthy condition
Of the island but the neglect Of the
inhabitants to take precautionary
sanitary measures to prevent disease.
This is proven in the history Of
Jamaica. Under the Spanish govern

the deaths among the troops were
122tn a thousand. Under the govern
ment of England the deaths are II in

There has been some complaint
that the little ones sent to US from
st. Paul are not of the needy ones.
/ may be that in some instances they
are not, but many of them are much
in need of al the fresh air, love and
care that we are able to give them
We think it is far better that the
mistake should be that of sending
some who do not need the outing, in
stead of that of leaving one at home
who is really deserving the treat.

Pierre dispatch. %: The state bank
examiner. Maris Taylor, in his report
which will be issued in a few days, dis
closes a very satisfactory state OF affairs
IN South Dakota finances. Mr.. Taylor
says: States and private banks in
South Dakota at this time are in good
condition. Deposits are considerably
larger than during any recent year, and
securities are, as to value and on
vertibility, better understood. The
most unsatisfactory feature, FROM the
standpoint Of the bank, appears to be
the lessened demand for money and the
consequent decrease of loans. Con-
ditions have been such for the past sew
eral years that banks have felt compelled
to greatly restrict their loans. Hence
other adjustments have been forced, and
with many people the borrowing habit
has been broken. The following brief
statistics, covering three items as ab-
stracted from sworn reports, will show
to some extent the present status and
the trend of affairs with the state and
private banks of this state:

Now the senate has passed the Nelson

son bill. They do not materially differ
except that the latter provides for in

gent manner than the former and yet not
so drastic as the provisions Of the Torrey
bill formerly passed by the house. Now
that both houses have passed bills they

1t is nov alleged that Lieut. Sobrai OF
the Spanish legation at Washington who
talked SO insolently Of American seaman
and the Maine disaster, has been acting
the spy for the Spanish authorities in
the war department. He is said, a IL
Ereyfus, to have acquired secret infor-
nation concerning the Notifications OF
New York harbor. 1t was believed by
the war department that the plans OF
the submarine defense of New York
harbor were absolutely secret. 1t is re-
ported however that Sobrai has secured
complete copies Of these plans by cor
rupting some employee of the engineers
office and that they are at present in
Madrid. 1t is also limited that when he
boarded the Spanish cruiser Just arrived
in New York harbor that he also furn.
ished c pies to the Spanish commander.
