Weli-Earned Praise for Gen. Wood.

The gold medal presented by the
Spanish residents of Santiago to Gen.
Leonard Wood has been we'll earned,
and honors both the givers and the
recipient. 1t is perhaps not too much
to say that Gen. Woods administra-
ton there has shown Cuba the first
example of good municipal govern
ment in the history OF the island. He
has displayed the highest talents for
that kind Of work. of which we shall
henceforward have more to do than
formerly, and the agents to whom it
is confded cannot do better than take
Gen, Wood as an exemplar. There
are plenty of men like him in the
country, but the standard he has set
in the swift and complete rehabilita.
ton Of shattered and disordered and
always badly governed municipality
is as high as any of them are ever
likely to reach.

A Remarkable Country.
Pearson q Weekly.


In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are so honest in their
habits that such material defenses to
property, such as locks. bolts and bars
are not required. Yet its history for
the past thousand years records no
more than two thefts.
OF these two cases, one was that Of
native who was detected after steal
ing several sheep; but as he had done
SO to supply his family. who were suf-
fering tor want of food, when he had
broken his arm, provisions were fur
nished to them and work was found
for him when he was able to do it, and
meanwhile he was placed under medi.
cal care; but the stigma attached to
his crime was considered sufficient
punishment.
The other theft was made by Ger.
man, who stole seventeen sheep. But
as he was in comfortable circum.
stances and the robbery was malicious
the sentence passed upon him was
that he should at once sell all hi
property.

No. 25


Each college is built round quad
rangle with large entrance gateway
which often rises into quasi-tower.
The rooms Immediately over the gate
way are invariably designed for the
residence Of the warden, provost, or
principal Of the college, so that the
eye OF the master may be over all who
enter or leave the place. This mode
of building still exists in India, being
introduced into Europe by the Moors
when they conquered Spain, where
we find that the compound, or quad,
is still used for the lettering Of all
kinds of animals. Around the quad
are arranged the chapel. library, hall
or rectory, presidents lodgings.
buttery and kitchen; the students
rooms generally occupy the upper
floors. William of Wickham. the
celebrated architect, wisely placed his
taller buildings, the chapel and hall,
on the north side, to keep off the cold
winds, the lower buildings on the
south more freely admitting sunshine.

The Fate Of q Flag "fiauIdowner. ;
Chicago Record.

Chicago Record.
An awful example of the fate of the
man who hauls down the American
flag appeared in the audience that
greeted the President at Macon, Ca,
the other day in the person of James
II. Blouht-"Paramount" Blount-
whom. President Cleveland sent to
Honolulu for that purpose, and who
passed into contempt and then into
oblivion. He represented the Macon
district in Congress for several years,
was chairman of important commit
tees, and one OF the most influential
men in the House. but his constitu-
ents refused to re-elect him, and peo-
pie at Macon told me that since he re-
turned from Honolulu he could not be
elected dog. catcher in any village in
Georgia. He is a lawyer by profess
sion, and still has an Office in Macon,
but does not appear in the courts, and
is allowed to enjoy his own society in
the seclusion of his plantation.

Engineering News.

At the present time, when naval
matters are source OF great interest
to the general public, one continually
finds the terms displacement" and
tonnage. Improperly used, both In
the daily press and in common
speech. The confusion between the
terms would not occur II their mean
ing were understood. "Displace-
ment" refers to the quantity of liquid
displaced by the immersed hull of the
ship, "tonnage'to the freight-carrying
capacity of the ship determined by
certain rules of measurement.
The displacement of vessel Is the
entire weight Of the hull with all its
contents, according to the well-known
law Of hydrostatics that a floating
body displaces weight Of fluid just
equal to its own weight. A ship
sinks in the water to such level that
the pressure Of the fluid displaced
exactly countcrbalances the weight
Of the ship.

THE ATTACK ON WHEELER.
Views of One OF the South's Most
Conservative Newspapers.
Savannah News tDem. J


II does not seem to be generally
understood why Mr., Bailey is SO anx-
'ous to deprive Gen. Joe Wheeler Of
his seat in the House. Gen. Wheeler
was asked about the matter day or
two ago. He said he did not know,
unless. he thought it was because he
refused to follow Mr.. Bailey's lead
last summer on the question of expan-
sion.
Gen. Wheeler believes he has a
right to occupy his seat in the House
and at the same time retain his CON-
mission in the volunteer army. He
has looked up the matter carefully,
and has taken advice on the question
from some Of the best posted lawyers
in Washington. The resolution to in
vestigate his right to seat has been
referred to the Judiciary Committee,
and that committee will make a re-
report, IN all probability. soon after
the holidays.
This Congress will come to an end
in two months. Gen. Wheeler is a
member elect of the next Congress.
Before that Congress meets Gen.
Wheeler will, of course, be out of the
army, that is, if some arrangement is
not made for his permanent connec-
ton with it.
Mr.. Bailey has not endeared him.
self to the people OF the South by his
course in the Wheeler matter. In the
first place he knew that the question
he raised is one in respect to which
there is a difference of opinion. In
the second place there was no reason
why Democrat should have raised
it. If it was important enough to be
raised, Mr.. Bailey should have waited
for Republican to raise it, unless his
conscience would not permit of any
delay. However, there are no indica-
tons that Gen. Wheeler is greatly
disturbed about the matter.

How a Town is Populated.
Northport News.


Every town has a liar or two; a
smart Aleck; some pretty girls; more
loafers than it needs; woman or two
that tattles; an old fogy that the town
would be better off without; men who
stand on the street corners and make
remarks about the women: a man
who laughs an idiotic laugh every.
time he says anything; scores of men
with the caboose of their trousers
worn smooth as glass; men who can
tell you about how the war question
should be settled, the weather, and
how to run other peoples business,
but who have made dismal failure
of their own.

Following Their Instincts.

1t might at first sight be thought
that the anti-imperialistic spirit is
growing in the United States, for Mr..
Bryan, the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency, has thrown in his lot
with it. But we doubt whether he
has discovered sounder plank for his
next platform than the rotton one OF
free silver. Neither biblical plagiar-
ism nor red-hot diatribe will check
Imperialism in the States. The Amer
lean people are but following the in
stinct of the Anglo Saxon race.

An Era of Good Feeling.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

An Atlanta Democrat tells the
Washington Post that it would be a
graceful act for solid South to unite
with solid North, East and West. in
1900, renominate Mr.. Mckinley for
the high office of President, and elect
him without opposition, binding him
to no platform save the greatest good
to the greatest number, and full JUS.
tice to ALL f"
There is the best kind OF sense in
this suggestion. A solid South which
would display this public spirit and
patriotism could give a justification
tor its solidity which would appeal to
all sections. Undeniably, Mr.. McKin-
ley has made many warm friends in
the South. Less antagonism is shown
toward him anywhere than was arous.
ed by any other President in three
quarters Of century. He has hosts
OF admirers in localities and among all
parties. He has travelled more in the
past two years than any other occu-
pant of the White House did in the
same length Of time. Everywhere he
has been received with demonstra.
tions of the highest regard. So far
as the President is concerned, there is
an era of good feeling in the country
as widespread and hearty as there was
during the days when Monroe was
President.

for us hardly second to the Roman
Empire when that mighty power was
mistress Of the world. but we are not
going to be an empire after the FASH
ion of the potency once welded by
Rome. There will be no tyranny in
our political system, nor any constant
reaching ont for. further possessions.
We will simply keep the territories
we have fairly won, and set about
civilizing their inhabitants and edu-
eating them for selfgoyernment.
Thecountries which our possessions
in the Pacific will open up to us as
markets for produce and manufactured
goods will soon number nearly a
thousand million people, or fully two
thirds of the entire inhabitants Of the
earth. Our teeming soil and our
great progress in discovery and inven-
ton of all labor-saving machinery,
will enable us to supply the greater
number of these people with every
thing they require as cheaply as they
could be supplied by ony other nation.
This kind of commercial enterprise
will raise the United States to posi-
ton Of international importance in a
few years which no other nation
thought before the war they could at
tain in less than a century.

American Influence in Porto Rico.
Philadelphia Record


Under Spanish rule in Porto Rico
the annual budget of expenses was
about 1900, 900 pesos, whereas the
outlay for next year, as determined
by Military Governor Henry, will be
only 700, 900 pesos. At 90 cents per
peso this would represent per capita
reduction of taxation on the island
from 81. 10 annually to sI.7o-a prac-
teal stroke of administration, which
every worker and property owner in
Porto Rico will readily comprehend
and appreciate. A similar boom awaits
Cuba when American authority shall
have been fully established there, and
thus the task of governing the islands
will have been vastly lightened in ad-
vance. For the new administrations
IN these long devasted and tax-ridden
islands there could be no more auspi-
cious beginning than in material re-
duction Of the current oppressive rates
of taxation.

Southern View Of it.
PhlladeIpb la BulIetln.

The newspapers of the South are
generally taking sensible and self
respecting stand in repudiating the
foolish proposition to grant Federal
pensions to Confederate veterans, and
there is no doubt that they represent
the sentiment of a vast majority of in
telligent Southern voters.

Value Of Confidence.
sprinefield RepublIcan.

Eighty per cent Of the customs du-
ties collected at New York so far this
month has been in gold coin. Two
years ago not dollar of this revenue
was paid in gold. Confidence in the
gold stability of the government was
what was needed, rather than statute
laws, to bring about a resumption Of
gold payments at the seats OF Gus
toms.

Spain in rlourning.
ST. Louis Gioue. Democrat.

Spain has a peculiar way of going
into mourning as a nation. The Mad
rid government has provided black
stamps to be attached to each piece of
inland mail matter. In order that ev-
cry citizen shall do his share of the
mourning it is further provided that
the stamps must be paid for by the
user, the amount to be in addition to
the regular postage.

Cleveland Leader.

If Andrew Carnegie has lett the Re-

will feel like bidding him a hearty
farewell. Let Bryan take him to his
heart. Let Democrats of all kinds and
conditions coddle him. They have
denounced him as "Plutocrat, a
labor crusher," and everything else
that is mean. If they want him they
are welcome to him.
