To Tackle a Buzz-S

The Baltimore Nelcs has been quite active
in showing up the deficiencies in the Balti-
more city government. Its report on the
scandals in the Water Department has been
verified and endorsed by the Reform League,
and in every instance where the statements Of
the Ne,cs have been attacked in court or out
they have been proven correct.
The Neacs has lately shown up the record
of Joseph Kingsley of the City Commission
er's Department, and he has had the president
of the company and one of the editors ar
rested for criminal libel. He will ascertain
later that it is dangerous to tackle a buzz-salw.

Windstorms in Texas.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 17.-Several
towns were visited yesterday by terrific wind
and hailstorm, that followed the heavy rain
that began Saturday. At Lyle the building
on the az L. ranch was demolished and a
Mexican cowboy killed.
At Weimar the home of City Marshal Insall
was blown down and Mrs. Insall and her two
children injured. The school house at Medina
was overturned. and the teacher, Miss Minnie
Halstead. received internal injuries. Two
pupils, Tom Maston and Henry Willard, were
seriously injured
The coast country around Rockport and

An Expensive Gain.
From the Boston Advertiser.

Why IN the world should our expansionist
friends shrek so jubilantly over the fact that
the American trade with the former Spanish
colonies has increased by about 81, 000,0 900 as
compared with the figures for 1898? Inas-
much as the United States is spending millions
every month in the foreign colonies, it would
be very surprising if this huge outlay did not
accomplish something. When country has
to spend $40 month to increase its business
about 81, one feels strongly tempted to ask if
the money is well invested In ordinary bus
mess, when man gives up $40 and gets back
only 81, he promptly concludes that he has
been swindled.

Days of Peace Numbered
From The Cecil pemeenl


A striking illustration Of the danger OF en-
taugling foreign alliances Is furnished 10y the
late dispatches from Samoa. Some few years
ago England. Germany and the United States
entered an agreement for the combined con
troll Of the samoan Islands. The natives were
NOT consulted in regard to this arrangement,
the Jeffersonian doctrine that governments
derive their Just powers from the consent OF
the governed being entirely ignored. Ever
since the natives have been more or less dis
satisfied, aud in a quarrel between two native
claimants to the kingship Germany sided
with one and England and the Uaited States
with the other The condition has made the
allied governments suspicious and jealous OF
each other, and when party OF English and
American marines we're am ousbed aud mum
Der Of them killed by band VI natives, the
responsibility Was immediately charged to
the German representative, Conditions such
as this cannot help but keep the United States
constantly embroiled with foreign powers as
we'll as busy endeavoring TO control turbulent
natives who refuse to be governed Besides
it is business error, as the Insignificant islands
with their miserable inhabitants are not worth
the powder il takes TO control them, much
less the good lives that must be sacrificed. II
looks very much as If the days OF peace were
numbered for the United States, and from
now on there will be nothing but wars and
rumors of wars.

The Baltimore Campaign.

The campaign in Baltimore is quite warm,
and next week it will be what may be called
red-hot. Mai. Gen. George L. Wellington
perhaps regrets that he mastered out the In
dependents. He will need some fifteen or
twenty thousand more men than he has to
hold the historical 'breastworks' in the as
sault that is to be made on them on Nav ID.

Hayes's Funeral Picnic.

PETERSBURG, I'D. April IA novel fu-
neral was held at White Oak yesterday. Two
years ago William Hayes died, leaving a large
estate. During his life he was very eccentric.
In his will he provided that his body was to
be taken up aud placed in vault two years
after his death, which was Sunday. The
trees in the park where the remains were
placed were TO be decorated with red white
and blue ribbons Five platforms for dane
ing were TO be erected, two brass bands were
to furnish the music, aud the crowd present
was 10 feast on five head of cattle, twenty
head of sheep and large number of hogs and
chickens. Fifty kegs of beer were to be dis
pensed to the crowd. In case of failure to
carry out these provisions of the will, Pierce
Hayes, his only child, was to be disinherited.
Two thousand persons were in attendance.
the terms of the will were faly complied with
and the merriment was kept up until late last
night.

The Increasing Pension List


Attention Is being called 10 the additions 70
the pension list, which are 10 be made As the
result Of the Spanish war. Carl Schurz, ~ a
late address, gives the opinion thai the eX-
pense Of new pensions that are 70 accrue from
this a. amounting 10 $50, 0Oo. 00s per annual.
Reports from the Pension Otice tend 20 show
that what We are To expect from tins source
has not been OyerestlmAted. Il IS stated that
from the Thiriy.tourth Michigan Regiment
which went 10 Cuba, aud vas uuieF IRE, no
less than $50 applications for pensions have
been received, or over one-tourh Of the en-
listed strength Of the regiment. The District
of Columbia Regiment, which saw no actual
fighting has $50 applications on hie. The
Thirty.third Michigan, also never under IRE,
and the Eighth Ohio, IN the same class, come
next ia order The Second Massachusetts,,
which was under fire and suffered more than
any other volunteer regiment in the whole
war. excepting the Rough Riders, has 81 APP
plications on file. The destructive character
of war operations 10 the impairment of health
they occasion Is strkiugly illustrated IN the
most Of these instances. and it Is to be re-
membered thar those who are thus stricken
are the young men of the country in the tull
fruit Of physical vigor when they entered the
military service.

the Empire state. 1t was about this time that Very young newspaper re- porter seated himself among the vet eran political reporters in the affien corner of the Fifth Avenue hotel, where MT. Platt makes his city home.
 Every One was expecting an impor- tant declaration, but none came. MT Platt appeared, as was his custom. He smiled in his usual confidential and somewhat mysterious way and said there was nothing to give out There was no going behind these returns, ap- parently, but this young reporter had wisdom beyond his years. Probably that is the reason he is one of the most successful editors in the country to- day. He followed Mir Platt out to the street, Ae they mingled with the even ing throng he linked his arm in his.
 Mir. Platt,'' said he, you're the big gest politician in New York and I'm the youngest reporter. I've got to get a story from you or lose my job. Now, 1 don't care a cent what you talk about. But as a friend I would advise you to talk about politics"
 MT Platt, who is tall, slender and gray bearded, with a style of humor that can only be characterized as grim. disengaged his arm from that of his young friend and looked at him. He was astonished for the first time in years.
 Well, I haven't got anything to say he replied, but if you are so dead set on a political story I'll talk to you. I suppose it doesn't make any difference whether I discuss national or local politics, so long as it's politics. You seem to insist upon politics" And he did discuss politics to the extent Of a column and a half.-Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
