The Cuban mayor who suggested 10 Gen.
Brooke the other day that free Uatons
be held up and that their value in farm
ing implements be distributed 10 the Gu
bans instead, advanced a common-sense
idea. So long as our government feeds
the Cubans gratutously, so long will they
expect it to do so, and meantime they
will not work to earn a support for them
selves The folly of a long continuance
of free rations to an ignorant and shift
less class was Illustrated on the sea ISL
ands of South Carolina several years ago,
following a great storm, when Miss Bar
tons Red Cross Society practically de
moralized the whole negro population by
distributing free rations instead of put
ting the storm sufferers in a way to earn
their own living. The authorities in Tex
as, by the way would do well to keep
in mind the example of Miss Barton S
society on the sea islands during their
work of relief among the negro flood suf-
ferers Of the Brazos valley. The truest
charity is to put the unfortunates in the
way of earning their own rations, and
not to offer them inducements to become
loafers

The mistake in calculation which Capt
Watkins made. and which resulted in the
sraudins of the Paris on the Mlnacle
rocks, offers an illustration Of the fine
problems which shipmlster is often cali
"a upon to work out "It is about 131 miles
from Cape La Hague 10 the Lizard says
the captain in his statement and tine
run between these TWO points would,
calculated, occupy six hours and fifty
four minutes. Unfortunately 1 reckoned
the time on this basis for coming up with
The Lizard from 735 p. m. when abeam
of the Casquets, instead of from 6:38 p.

the vessel was thus really eighteen miles
ahead of the position 1 was acting upon.
The error, however, might not have re-
suited fatally except for the fact that the
shore lights we're obscured by a haze. Had

WHY TANES ARE HIGH.

one reason why taxes are high is that
men are sent to the legislature who are
utterly unfit TO be there-who make laws
that permit the treasury to be looted
The people of New York city have Just
found out that at the last session of the
New York Legislature law was enacted
which promises to take over s., 600 600 from
the city treasury. The law was put
through the legislature by a New York
city senator named Ahearn.
1t seems he wanted to have two po-
lice captains reimbursed for money they
spent in defending themselves against
charges which had been brought against
them by the police authorities. He there
fore had a general bill passed which per
mits any official who, having been rein
stated after having been dismissed for
misconduct or having been tried and
found not guilty, to file a claim for ex-
penses in defending himself against the
charges brought against him.
Under the bill every policeman who was
discharged as long as twenty-five years,
or even longer, for misconduct and after
wards reinstated can now put in claim
for the expense to which he was put for
defending himself. And his claim doesn't
have to go before a jury. 1t goes before
a judge in chambers who refers it to a
referee, and the latter's finding is final.
The taxpayers of New York city are
asking how could Gov. Roosevelt have
signed such a monstrous bill. They don t
ask anything about the members of the
legislature because they expect nothing
from them. They know that of most
of the legislation at Albany the great ma
jority of the members of the legislature
know nothing. But it is expected that
the Governor will know the full meaning
of each bill before he signs it. Gov.
| Roosevelts mind must have been speculat-
ing upon his chances for getting the Re
publican nomination for President when
ne passed the Ahearn bill. If the people
cannot trust men like Roosevelt to pro-
tect their interest they might as well
make up their minds to be plundered.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Writing of the case of Capt. O. NJ
Carter, the Washington Post Qnd) says:
1T is useless to ask US for any eXplana-
ton or even conjecture, in this bewilder-
ing case. 1t is next to impossible for US
10 assume that the administration has
been party to any disreputable work in
the premises, and it is equally beyond our
power to account for the situation upon
any theory in accord with the customs
and procedures of the past. That super
ticially it wears "A most unpleasant aspect
we shall not undertake to deny but that
the President has no good and sufficient
reason, which the country would approve
if that reason We're made known, we re-
gard as utterly Incredible The affair In
fact has passed beyond the reach of
speculation. and, for ourselves, we wait
in darkness, but in hope and patience, for
the time when the mystery shall be I'M
ravelcd'
The Chicago News Qnd) says: "Col.
William Jennings Bryan arises to indig-
nantly deny the rumor that he refused to
accept a carload of watermelons from a
Georgia admirer Col Bryans statement
is only what might be expected of any
American citizen. The man who would
refuse a carload of Georgia watermelons
i'm July has no place in the daily life of
the United States. and should be relegat-
ed to the frozen realms of Labrador"
The Birmingham News Oem) says
THE number of Southern men enlsting
in the new regiments which are to be sent
TO the Philippines indicates that the South
is not so unanimous in its opposition to
expansion as certain statesmen would
have the balance of the country believe"
The New York Mail and Express (Rep)
says Nobody would particularly regret
the election of John James ingalls, to
Congress from Kansas. Mr.. Ingalls, is a
very clever young newspaper man, and
the press is entitled to some recognition
in political affairs"

MANY YAMERICANSIN LONDON

London, July A.-The calm preceding a varsity struggle, both London and Brigh- ton teams resting today and harvesting their strength for tomorrow's contest. No competitors appeared at the Queens club, where a score of workmen were engaged in fitting up the track boxes for tomorrow. The demand for seats has long since ex- hausted the supply, and the exorbitant prices asked by speculators caused the management to refuse all applications, so that tonight five pounds and ten pounds are vainly offered by late corners. The value of a victory on Englis soil is fully appreciated by the American contestants and visitors.
 The hotels have been invaded by Ameri- can arrivals from the continent to witness the sports and by a large contingent of Cornell Pennsylvania and Columbia uni versity students, who are swarming the American theaters and other rendezvoux tonight, and college yells and colors are prevailing everywhere. The following is the official programme of events: Throwing the sixteen-pound hammer: J. D. Green shields, of Oxford; L. o. Bains, Cambridge, and W. A. Zealand and H. J. Brown, of Harvard
 Broad jump: G. c. Vassall, Oxford; L. R. O. Bovan, Cambridge, and c. D. Daly and J. T. Roche, of Harvard.
 One hundred yards dash-C. R. Thomas and A. L. Hind or A. M. Rollins, of Oxford, and F. J. Qunlan, of Harvard, and A. V. Blount, of Yale.
 Mile run-A. Hunter, of Cambridge; A. l.. Dawson and Freemantle, of Oxford, and c. B. Spitzer and Ii. B. Smith, of Yale.
 Hurdle race-W. Paget Tomlinson, of Cambridge; H. R. Parks. of Oxford; F. z. Fox and J. w. Hallowel, of Harvard.
 Half mile run-H. E. NJ. Graham, of Cam bridge; c. F. W. Struben, of Oxford; J. E. Burke, of Harvard and J. P. Adams, of Yale.
 High jump-H. S. Adair, of Oxford; W. Paget omlinson, Cambridge, and A. N. Rice and c. N. Rotch, of Harvard.
 Quarter mile run-A M. Holins, of Ox- ford; c. D. Davidson, of Cambridge, and D. Boardman and T. R. Fisher, Jr., of Yale.
 Three mile run-H. w. Workman, of Cambridge A. R. Wilborforce, of Oxford ana II. ". Foote and H. B. Clarke, of Harvard.
 Unless something occurs between tonight and tomorrow afternoon the Yale and Harvard athletes will appear on the track in the very pink of condition. Every man is in the best possible form and the team is in even better condition than when its members sailed from New York.

REAL ESTATE

If you are contemplating the purchase of a writing machine and consider permanent alignment an essential feature, it would be well for you to investigate the typebar mechanism. If, in action, 1t executes a movement similar to the old-fashioned pump handle, you have not found the ma chine you want Then why pay s1OO for what you don't want, when you can get just what you do want for the same money? To pre- serve perfect alignment the type characters must strike at the same spot with mathe- nautical exactness. As there is not much mathematical precision in wobbling pump, handle, so there is no more straight-line writing in machine constructed on similar principles after 1t has begun 10 wear.
 For an optical illustration of this most inn portant feature in typewriter construction call on A. R. DEARBORN & CO,
