In reading the novels Of Charles
Dickens one is often tempted to ac-
cuse the famous master of gross ex-
aggeration in attributing to the lowli-
est of his characters-such, for in
stance, as Sloppy in "Our Mutual
Friend"-qualities of the most heroic
nature. But now and then there are
incidents which give striking proof
that the great novelist was not ex.
aggerating, but was just a little more
attentive to the peculiartties Of the
common herd than most of us are. It
is said that the boys in the orphan
asylum at Sparkill, N. Y, which was
recently destroyed by fire, were Of the
type Of the tough" street waif. Yet
they risked their lives to save the youn-
ger children with all the courage of
one Of Ouida's nonchalant guardsmen.
1t is wonderful what an immense
amount Of nobleness there is in our
species if there is only the proper call
to bring it out. The great problem for
those who hope to elevate the lower
orders is to find out what will call
forth the good qualities which are
latent in them.

Sharing In Street Railway Earnings.
While Detroit and one or two other
American cities are engaged in the
never ending struggle to compel street
railways to reduce their rates Of fare
the city OF Toronto continues to illus
trate in most striking and convincing
mannerft the wisdom Of the policy that
exacts percentage of gross earnings
as compensation for the use of the
streets. 49,. ~.
According to the Toronto Mail and
Empire Of Aug. 10 last, the earnings Of
the street railways in that city for ten
months Of the present fiscal year have
already passed the million dollar mark.
which the Toronto street railway plant
is operated the company was required
to pay into the city treasury 10 per
cent Of these earnings. The city treas
urer has therefore received check for
$12,721, which is the municipal share
of the earnings for July. @.
The increase of the earnings and per-
centages for four years is shown by
the following figures for July:
Gross receipts. Percentage.

| Toronto bought her street railroads
In 1891 and operated them for six
months at profit of $4,000 per month
and then sold them for what they cost
on the following conditions: Eight hum
dred dollars per mile per year to be
paid into the city treasury, 8 per cent
Of the gross receipts up to $1,000, 900,
10 per cent up to $1,5OO,O0O of the
gross receipts, IL per cent from 81, ,5O0,-
600 to $2,0OO,0OO Of the gross receipts,
Is per cent on the receipts up to $3,
100000 and 20 per cent on all receipts
over $3,OOO,OOO. After 20 years the
city can take back the plant at it's
actual value.
The experience of Toronto furnishes
ample proof Of the wisdom of the poll
cy which secures to municipality a
fair compensation for the use of streets
based upon a fixed percentage Of the
gross earnings.

Poor Cyrano de Bergerac! Perhaps
if he had been able to peer into the fu-
ture and foresee the fate in store for
him he would have refrained from do
ing many Of the things with which
more or less mythical authorities have
credited him. Cyrano was a pretty
wild sort of chap, and it is suspected
that he would have undergone untold
torture for the sake Of having himself
talked about, but in his widest dreams
he could never have believed it posi-
BILE that some day he would be the cen.

bad enough, but when the doughty

General Woods Report on Cubs.
General Wood has recently made
Dome suggestions regarding the gov
ernment Of the island OF Cuba which
deserve consid deration. The main prop
ositions are that civil government
should be subject to military regula-
ton until the Cubans prove themselves
At to carry on just and stable sys-
tenn, that department commanders
should have authority to suspend civil
officials who are incompetent or guilty
Of malfeasance in Office and that sep.
lrate courts and a distinct jurispru-
dence should be established for the
trial Of Americans. These recommen-
dations seem to be justified by a review
Of the conditions Of the island. 1t is
asserted that the native officials are
corrupt and that they are efficient only
go long as they have strong authori.
ty above them. The inheritance of q
bad Spanish system makes the opera
uons of'justice slow and unsatisfactory
IN the extreme, as the courts seem tc
have been established for the incon
venience Of the people. In them Amer
leans would be subjected to 1.-The juris
diction or the capricious decisions o1
persons alien in race and sentiment
Municipal administrations are conduct
ed for the benefit of an officeholdinl
class, the scheme Of taxation is 81
faulty that it needs thorough over
hauling, the school system is defective
and property interests are in bat
shape.

A fresh victory for woman is re-
ported. Mrs. Annie Kline, president
Of the Stockton and Tuolumne Rail-
road company, has been sent to Jail for
contempt Of court. She refused to pro-
duce the books of the company in re-
sponse to an order. Mrs. Kline asks no
consideration on account of her sex.
She has just as much contempt for
the court as any man can possibly
have. And she isn't afraid to let the
judge know just what she thinks Of
him. 1t is altogether an interesting
incident. Indeed, it is more than in
cident; it is an event, possibly an
epoch making event. The eyes of the
nation are on Mrs. Kline, and every
body will hope that she will justify
her contempt and cover the court with
confusion.

& Perplexity Ove,s the Yacht Race.
4 The public hAs nt last arrived at q
pretty definite idea OF the dimensions
OF the two yachts that are to make
New York the Mecca Of all yachtsmen,
though there is much dissension among
those specially interested in yachting
over which boat should win. This
dissension has no reference to diff
ference Of judgment as to the merits
Of the two boats. The men who in,
dulge in it the fiercest do not know
the difference between sloop and q
catamaran. ..,sg i
To the average landsman dimensions
and spread Of sail cut no figure. Senti-
ment is the basis upon which his fore
cast is made. Many Of the debaters
over the merits of the contesting boats
are ardent Americans Of Irish descent
and would lose no opportunity to do
honor to anything carrying the stars
and stripes, but the challenger bears A
name to conjure with wherever Irish
blood boils and Irish traditions pre-
vail. Her body is painted an emerald
green, and above her floats the flag of
yellow and green that proclaims her
nationality.
There is small body Of Irishmen in
New York which suspects a British
plot in the visit Of Sir Thomas Upton
They resent the naming Of the yacht
and her convoy and say the challenger
sails under false colors, for she repre-
sents England and not Ireland. But
there flies the green flag of the Emer
aid Isle, and the majority Of the sons
Of Erin are in sad state of perplexity
as to which yacht to bet on.

At the beginning Of the trouble in
the Philippines one Of the most pleas
ant tasks Of the newspaper man was
the recounting Of the deeds Of heroism
soldiers, but there are so many brave
men wearing Uncle Sans uniform in
the east that to attempt to keep track
of the many acts Of heroism would be
to attempt the impossible. It is that
spirit Of indomitable dash which comes
to the surface whenever it is necessary
that makes the typical American sol
dier practically invincible.

Militarism has it's evils, and no one
Of us would care to live under a gov
ernment which oppresses its people
with all sorts of burdens for the bene-
fit of the large standing army which
many European nations seem to re-
gard as necessary to their safety. But
it cannot be denied that the army in
culcates within men the desire and
ability to administer public funds
economically. It is said that the cost
Of collecting the customs in Cuba is
less than in any other country in the
world. The expense Of collection is,
Of course, figured upon the percentage
Of the number Of dollars received for
each dollar invested in wages, rents.
