A Christmas Retrospect.

A few days more and with much
innocent jollity and kindly feeling to-
ward each other the Christmas festi-
val OF 1899 will have passed. From
our present prosperity and comfort
let us look back at two Christmas
tides of the past,
Defeated, perplexed, not daring to
make a stand and yet not daring to
show an appearance of fight, dis
obeyed by General Lee, disregarded
by Congress, his force growing less
at every step with strengthening
foe at his heels, Washington terried
his shadow-army over the Delaware
a few days before Christmas, 1776.
He had only LOO men to hold the
fortunes of the country against sew
eral thousand of the enemy, yet with
apparent fool-hardness he fingered
on the west bank of the Delaware,
as if waiting for the weather to form
an icy bridge over which the British
could march triumphantly. The
calm courage of the man seemed sud-
denly to mingle with return of his
impetuous boyhood. Instead of
waiting tor further defeat, he wrest-
ed victory from defeat by doing the
unexpected thing. Amid darkness
and killing cold his forces boldly re-
crossed the Delaware, fell upon the
unsuspecting Hessians, who were
needing only their own appetites at
Trenton, slew many of them in their
cups, captured a thousand and got
safely back into Pennsylvania Christ
mas day, 1916. Then followed three
weeks of such vigorous, splendid
campaigning that even Frederick the
Great Judged it to be the most bril-
liant in the annals of civilized war
fare. In few weeks the breadth of
the State across which he had so ig-
ANONYMOUSLY retreated stretched be-
tween him and the discreet and as
tonished enemy.

SCROOLS IN CEBA.

The report of the committee which
has been appointed by Gen. Wood to
investigate the public schools in the
province Of Santiago, Cuba, reveals
rather more than the expected state of
things. The astonishing statement is
received the advantages of a system
that compared we'll with those now in
use by English speaking races" Read
ing little farther, however, we dis
cover that this model educational sys-
TEN existed only on paper. THE in
difference, caprice, neglect and rapacity
OF the governing authorities left the ad-
mirable provisions of the law without
enforcement or application. No such
thing as free public school, in the
American meaning, exists or has ex-
listed in Cuba So far as known there is
not single building nor foot of land
in this province owned by the people
for school purposes. and not a single
dollar of endowment for educational in
stitutions." Whatever schools there are
have been controlled by the priests.
This is fair sample of Spanish policy.
Here were promises and plans for
a first rate common school system to
amuse AID delude the people, but never
an attempt to fulfill them. Added to all
the other burdens which we have as
sumed in Cuba, there are public schools
to be constructed from the beginning
as if this We're a new and savage coun-
try. The report Of Gen. Woods commit
tee shows with what wisdom and ear
nestness this task is to be executed. and
the urgent need of funds for carrying
out the work.

The attempt to suppress the pension
marrying habit does not appear to have
succeeded so completely in congress as
was supposed. The law does not, of
course, affect marriages already made,
nor need women who hereafter marry
pensioners lose their pensions. In or
der to keep them. however, they will
need to abide with their husbands till
death dissolves the bond. In other
words, they will have to work for their
money.

between the hours Of 10 and 8 on Sun

it in his "Au Sorts" column, and

not miss any Of the fights.

So much American capital is interest
ed in London amusements that it is
very natural the English press should
be curious as to the kind of theatres
we have over here. Hence William
Archer the eminent London dramatic
critic, comes over to write up our act

the large number of French and Eng
lish plays imported every year, the
stage should not be any worse off in
America than in England.

1t is convenient for the statesmen who
are pushing the valued policy bill in the
legislature to ignore the fact that such
a law means higher rates for fire in
surance. That is the way it has worked
in New Hampshire. and it would be the
logical working anywhere. To allow a
policy holder the full amount Of his in
surance, regardless of the actual value
Of the property destroyed, is to put a
premium upon over-insurance, specu-
lation and incendiarism. The under
writers would naturally do their utmost
to insure themselves against fraud of
this sort and any scheme for guarding
against over-insurance must be either
expensive and cucabrous or wholly in
adequate.
