Philadelrhia's VIGOROUSLY corrupt

the villainy. How boldly repeating has

Philadelphia North American: 1.-The
method 10 simplicity itself. The trained
repeater goes 10 polling place and
votes there as often as his employers
think necessary. One man can stand
in the same place and vote as ten or
more different citizens. He need not
take the trouble to vote as John Doe,
60 away, and then return and vote as
Richard Roe. That would be useless
waste of energy. lie can make single

Quay Republican machine built up its
enormous maiorities in Philadelphia.

a lasting memorial of government. Mr.. Vest
put into his bill a provision that the brand
ing should be done in the presence of the
sheriff or other proper officer. with a hot
iron. in such manner that the brand shall
be lasting and indelible.'
After thirty-seven years the soaring and

memory. His bill was too tough to be re-
ported by the committee to which it was
referred. but the branding on it remains in
delible. Mr.. Vest loves and pities all down.

trembles for peoples subject 10 the money
making classes. Man-branding has gone out
of fashion in the United States. and even
Joe Bailey doesn't brand a infamous lie
more than six times a week; but the &C
cursed greed of the commercial classes is
capable of inficting still greater punish
ments upon vassal peoples. The m~oneymak-
ing classes will introduce trusts and cor
portations into the Philippines at the first
opportunity.
Therefore does the Hon. George Graham

makers and seek to save the innocent ISL
anders from being the mere chattels of
these monsters.

School Teachers conventions.

From the Chicago Record.
Aside from the stimulus which comes
from the interchange of ideas, there is one
obviously good practical result to be ex-
pected from the teachers conventions which
are now being held Simultaneously in va
rlouS states of the Union.
1t has always been understood that the
public school system throughout the Union
should be as homogeneous as it could be
made, with due allowance for disparity of
local conditions. As time goes on, how
ever. the differences in local conditions are
disappearing more and more rapidly. EX-
cepting in some unprogressive rural dis
tricts in the far East and South, the old
fashioned, isolated district school. with its
queer assortment of textbooks and its in
dependent methods, is nearly a thing Of
the past. The tendency everywhere is to-
ward conformity to the graded school, and
the graded school not of the rural, but of
the metropolitan type. 1t Is one of the
unheeded curiosities of this country that
a student of the school systems of cities
ranging in size from Pittsburg or Buffalo
to Philadelphia and Chicago can so into
the towns of 5000 or less and finds schools
In many respects very similar to those OF
the big cities. 1t is one of the things in
which Americans have a right to feel pride
that in all cases the desire and the ten
dency are to secure the best modern ap-
planes of education and the most ad-
vanced methods.
The influence of these conventions is not
only to advertise Improvements wherever
they are adopted, but to establish a certain
uniformity of standards. The public school
teachers are very much in earnest in their
commendable ambition to allow no pro-
greSsive movement to be undertaken with
out having a part in it. At the state con-
v%entions they find the information that
they desire and become acquainted with
the standards which are in use throughout
the country. This work. if carried on per-
sistently, means that sooner or later the
school system ought to be very nearly of
even merit and efficiency in all states. The
ideal of a good school Is one which makes
good citizenship. and good citizenship is
fundamentally the same everywhere.

CUBA AND THE CUBaNs.

Spanish sovereignty in Cuba is at an end.
Its formal surrender took place on the first
day Of the new year. The influences that
brought about this change We're direct
and potent. There is TO telling how long
the struggles Of the Cubans might have
continued. or whether they would ever
have resulted in victory IL the United
States had not intervened; but it is now
a matter of history that within eight
months after this country began hostilities
the Spanish armies and fleets were van
quished and the last of the enemy's SOL
diers took their leave of the Pearl of the
Antilles" There have been. times within
this fraction of a year when the processes
may have seemed slow, but the entire ac-
complishment. considered in the light of
history. has occupied a very brief period.
The United States will now have to deal
with the Cubans. the people who have been
befriended and who still stand in need of
a friend. For a time at least our govern
ment will be responsible to the world for
conditions In Cuba, but the ultimate fate
of the island must rest with the Cubans
themselves. There is abundant evidence
that the people and the government of the
United States will do all In their power to
encourage and promote the development of
civilization and industry in Cuba: but there
must be both industrial and civil progress
in return for altruistic guardianship. The
general plans, SO far as announced, indi-
cate that the present administration at
least will put a premium upon thrift and
energy. The greatest help will be given
those who show the best disposition. 20
help themselves. 1t is not the intention of
the United States to make pensioners of
those cubans who can support themselves,
and one Of the first efforts will be to give
the idlers who are able to work an oppor.
tunity to become independent.
The restoration and DEVELOPMENT of Cuba
will necessarily be of slow process, but un-
der American rule and American example
they should ultimately be thorough. The
people of Cuba have been freed from Span
fsh oppression; they have yet to earn their.
title to self-government. This they can do
by a ready acquiescence in and cooperation
with all the proposals made by the tenn
porary government. There may come a
time when the Cubans may wish to choose
between self-government and annexation
TO the United States, but they will never
have to consent to annexation IL the ma
jority proves that independence is both
! feasible and desirable, for the pledges of
the United States are explicit and can not
be violated.

ANNEXATION AND SUFFRAGE.

In the current number of the Forum
Professor J. B. McMaster, of the University
OF Pennsylvania, answers those critics who
see In the annexation of territory peopled
by a semi-civilized race an outrage upon
the American principle of universal suf-
frage." In the first place, according to this
writer. there is. no such thing as an Amer
lean principle of universal suffrage. Com
mencing with the founding of the American
republic the people as a whole have ex-
tended the, right of suffrage to only such
individuals as they saw fit, and It has
been a basic principle from the beginning
That a practical government should always
regulate suffrage in harmony with expe-
1iency.
"our fo%refathers announced to the
world" says Professor McMaster. Ger
bain political doctrines often asserted, but
newer before applied. They declared that
all men were created equal, and were en-
lowed by the Creator with the inalienable
lights of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness: that governments were consti-
uted among men for the good of the gov
rned; that they derived their just powers

Good Roads.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
1t is to be earnestly hoped that the For
tieth general assembly of Missouri will ap-
proach the subject of good roads legisla-
ton in that spirit of progress and friendli-
ness toward legitimate public improvement
which shall result in the early benefit of
the good roads movement.
That the interests of the people of the
state will be greatly advanced by the sys-
tematic betterment of the roads no one
may reasonably deny. Such improvement
means a notable lessening of the cost of
shipping state products to market. an in
evitable increase of general traffic. and a
most desirable addition to the elements
tending to the best development of the
state. The good roads problem Is receiv-
ing the attention of many states at the
present time. The general assembly can do
much to put Missouri in the front in
solving that problem most practically and
conclusively.
convention recently held in st. Louis exer-
cised an influence that will be perceptib,e
in the action of the legislature converting
this week in Jefferson City. Meetings held
throughout the state since that time should
also add TO this influence. The members
elect of the Fortieth general assembly are
thoroughly posted as to public sentiment
upon this most important topic. They nave
1t in their power to do excellent work in
the public interest by furthering the move
ment for good roads in Missouri.
