THE FARCE SHOULD BE STOPPED.


The opinion of the Prosecuting At
torney giving the President of the
Board of Commissioners two votes
one as a member and another to break
tie vote-thus giving body with
but ten members eleven votes, allow
ing less than quorum, or but half the
Board, to transact the business of the
whole Board, and, also, permitting each
half of the Board to organize as a sep
arate board each having, with its pre-
siding officers two votes, an alleged
quorum, has been the subject of great
deal of amusement and not a little in
dignation.
Suffice it to say that the process of
reasoning by which this conclusion was
reached, as given in the anonymous
opinion accompanying the Prosecuting
Attorneys ruling-but never put before
the Boards absurd on the face
of it to any one who will take the trou-
BILE to read it in the light of common
of the Village of Hudson to the con-
trary notwithstanding.
The law is based on common sense
and to hold that five is a majority of
ten is not common sense. No court in
Christendom will hold that five mem
bers of a body of ten can legislate
for the entire body in opposition to
the votes of the other five members.
The sooner this ruling is definitely
set aside the less trouble is the county
likely to have in the future in straight
ening out its affairs which are liable to
become involved in almost intermira-
BILE litigation if this manifestly illegal
rule is adhered to in the transactions of
the Board of Commissioners.

''On the next day much people that were come to the feast when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jeru- Sa.em, tct0k branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him. John xii :: F, 15
 Yesterday he was at Bethany Last night they made him supper there, and Mary anointed his head and feet with the precious ointment-for '"the day of my burying, he said, looking on into the darkness of this weeks s trag- edy. The little village was full of Passover pilgrims, and there vas much going and coming over the hill road which led to Jerusalem. The news that the prophet of Nazareth was on his way to the feast would speedily be carried into the city
 People were full of expectation. They had been debating one with another as to the likelihood Of his coming. Some feared he might be kept away by fear of priests and sentries It was the topic of the hour
 Jesus had now been going up and down the country for three years. He had preached in city Cfter city Many had seen his miracles. It was known through all the length and breadth of Judea, and Samaria, and GaIiIee, that this new prophet had arrived, claiming to be the Messiah Everybody was in teTested in him. It was known also that his claims were utterly disowned by all the prominent churchmen, and that at last the religious authorities had publicly proclaimed him to be a de- ceiver and a dangerous person, and had given orders that he should be ar rested.
 Most people, especially in Jerusalem, sided as the worlds way is. with those who were in authority. Many others were quite different, but were inter ested in the days happenings, as peo- pie are, and ready to join crowd at any time to go in any direction. 9th CTS there were in whose hearts sounded still some word which Jesus had spok- en in the streets of their town, in whose eyes was still the sight of him as he went along one day, which they well remembered, blessing little children, healing the sick. comforting the sad
 4 strange and terrible thing it seemed to them that he should new be hunted after like thief by scribes and Pharisees If he came to the Passover, | he came in peril of his life. They knew that, and they dreaded what | might come to pass. And there were | his enemies, also, wondering what he | would do- And so, when men came | running over the side of the hill into | the city, bearing the news that Jesus | was at Bethany, and would upon the | morrow enter into Jerusalem, there | was stir among the people.
 ALL HEARTS WERE STIRRED.
 Thus, as Jesus hears Jerusalem, pres ] cntly this great crowd, shouting and |

 hava gone with them, or because it is the conventional thing to do, and they
 join their voices in the general acclaim because it is the way of human nature, doing what theIr neighbOrs do. This Palm Sunday crow.I vanishes away and
 is heard no more. There is a little company of true disciples, standing afar off, watching the end, when the darkness falls upon the cross. But the crClWd utter5 no voice, is not visible, sits trembling at home, CT is on the other side. when the tragedy comes. When Jesus needs men to stand up in the midst of his enemies and speak for him. these loud singers of Palm Sunday are not there
 There are two kinds of raigion: The religion Of the crowd and the religion of the consecrated heart. Many people who account themselves good Chris tians are good Christians only in the crowd. It is so easy tC go with the multitude. Opposition tests religion, so that we may see of what sort our religion is. Some unsympathetic and incredulous questioner comes, like the people who looked down from the win dows, crying. Who is this?" and then what do we say?

the soldiers back was against the wall. and various others in a more or less condition of studied carelessness but most of them with murderOus looking machete hung at their belts which they tried to handle like Bis marck or the Sirdar of Khartoum in their published pictures. As the old est man in the squad was not over I9 the general effect was not impressive One of them rushed up to the telcphcnc and rang up some ''jefe," demanding that a certain captain or a general be sent somewhere at once with rega- ment CT a corpoTal's guard pOst-haste. A long and vigorous conversation en- sued, and the amused smile that began to flicker over the faces Of the Ameri- ems and Spaniards present when the stOrn,ing Party entered soon broadened into grin and broke out in a horse 1atIgh. The m4chete comrades of the kid at the telephone tried to look fierce. and some of them went through the panItomime of trying to tug at their mUstaches, but as the whole crowd of them had less hair on their faces than there is on the back of a baby's neck, it was inexpressibly ridiculous.
 By the time the regiment had baan in the cafe five minutes everybody was laughing at them and as they failed to buy anything, not even Q package of cigarettes, the proprietor, fat, jolly Spaniard, laughed more heartily than any one. It became too hot for the liheratOrs, at last, and they left with an attempt at dignity that might have made a statue of Washington gUIglc with glee
 After they had gone a Spaniard said to an American, with an irCnic8i smile: 'Sen0r. are those the gentlemen who are demanding $50 OOO,O0 back pay from your gove~nment?'-Fr the Times of Cuba, Havana.

WHITE MEN IN THE TROPICS.

In the course of an article in .he In dependent Prof Blacknan Of Yale makes some interesting statements in regard to the reduction of mortality among Europeans in tropical climates in recent years by the establishment of hygienic habits and sanitary condi- tions''
 The death rate in ths Dutch army in India for thirty years previous to 1850 was 113.9 per 1000; fer the thirty years after it was only 59.2, and in the high lands only 462. Tn the British army the change has been even more stTik- ing, and it's record is brought down later. Tn 1863 the death rate was @ i'll 1,GO0, and by 1890 it had been brought down to fl in 1000, or reduced fou--ffths. And the general compari- son is quoted that whereas the sev- eral European armies stationed within the tropics formerly suffered death rate of 100 to 129 per 1000, this has now been reduced to 15 to 30,'-NeW York Times

Danger of n Rupture.

HAVANA, March 13.-(New York
World Cablegram.-It is now an open
secret that the relations between Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee and General Brooke
are not of the most amicable charac-
ter. Several incidents have recently
occurred indicating this. Among the
officers of the Seventh army corps 1t is
believed that little would be required
to produce an open rupture. Lees
resignation has more than once been
considered probable, it having been
thought he would take this method to
publicly mark his protest against what
he feels to be the petty assumption OF
authority by the chief of the military
government.
1t now appears likely that General
Lee will be removed from his present
command and appointed military gov
ernor Of Santa Clara province, with a
regular army rank of brigadier gen.
eral.
General Brooke will shortly resign.
His place as governor general will
more than likely be taken by General
Leonard Wood, now military governor
of Santiago province.

Advice About Adyertislnr.

gerat many people go into Advertising
with wrong ideas. Some think that
all that Is necessary to produce results
Ia to insert an advertisement in pa

the shekels to come into them; others
think that advertising Is a species OF
blackmail levied by newspaper pub
Usher and give the ad solicitor The cold
shoulder with as much zeal as Ii he
were unfortunate enough to be a book
agent. There are others who say.
"Oh, yes, advertising undoubtedly
pays such one because he uses a
large space" never thinking Of the
other side OF the case--that IL the other
fellow could afford to take a large
space because 1t made money for him,
he himself could do the same thing
with equal chance of success. The first
trouble with advertisers is that they
do not set out upon their work in the
right way. Here are few pointers
culled from years of experience: Fake

goods-the best space you can afford
