Il Rests With the Voters.

According to the majority of New
York papers, New York City is the
worst governed municipality in the
country. Only one daily paper in Phil
adelphia defends the Philadelphia city
government the others call 1T rotten to
the core. The Chicago lnter-Ocean
stoutly maintains that Chicago is being
robbed systemta tically of millions of dol
lars by its city officials, and Denver, ac-
cording to some of it's IVA papers, is a
hotbed of crime, of bOodleism and of
municipal misgovernment. There is
scarcely a large city in the United
States which, according to reports, is
not being held up by its ottice-holders
for personal gain. This corruption has
spread to smaller cities and towns until
the United States has become notorious
among nations for misgovernment of its
cities. The world neve hears about the
misguvernment of London, Paris, Ber.
lin or Vienna. although there, too, the
people elect the city officials. In the

Europe the Intangible something called
the good of the state is the paramount
aim of the officials, while in America
the chief object of the politician in Of

edy lies with the voters. Municipal
government is what they make 1t. If
the ideal of the majority of men Who
vote is high, then necessarily they will
elect only men of high ideals to office,
and as soon as that is done the problem
Of good municipal government will
solve itself.

On The Trail.

When the 34th regiment left the
Rocky mountain country for the Phil
ippine islands the New Mexican pre-
dicted that Aguinaldo would take to the
woods when the hardy men of the west
landed. No sooner We're they ashore
than the dictator began his day and
night flight for the mountains, n he
has not stopped running. Some of the
New Mexico soldiers of the Saith are
on the trail, and mountains will not stop
pursuit, The dispatches yesterday said
that the wagons We're being abandoned
by the pursuing parties and outfits be-
ing packed upon mules for the invasion
of the mountains. In this sort OF trav-
cling the western men are lat home"
Men who have trailed Indians or
roughed it in the mountains of this
country will find it to their liking to
operate in highlands of Luzon rather
than to fight in the jungles and sWamps
They have got the insurgents just
where they wanted them.

Fuel For War Ships.

All parts of the United States are
| somewhat short of coal for factories
| and homes, but Uncle Sam has coal to
burn and the nav NO longer runs the
| risk of being without fuel in war, as is
lands for coaling stations have been Sc
| cured in the W. oceans that wash the
| shores of America. When Admiral
Dewey sank the Spanish fleet he had
| not coal to cross the ocean,, and could
not linger in foreign ports after war
| was declared. The only cOaling station
the United States then had was at Hon.
| olulu, and the stock on hand there was
| but 1000 tons, while the Olympia alone
carries 300 tons, the Brooklyn 1850
tons, the Iowa 1850, and the Columbia
1000 tons At that time the United
States had no coaling stations in the
West Indies, and non ON the gulf ex-
cept at Key West. AT much ~inconven-
fence Golfers from this country supplied
the fleet in the southern waters during
shed holds 20, 900 tons for American ma
val vessels, and 5000 toms will be kept
hereafter ait Pango-Pango, Samoa. A
station will soon be established at
Guam for 10, 900 tons. Cuba and Porto
Rico will serve as coaling stations in
the West indies. At Manila a great
s%tUrehouse will be kept filled for naval
use. At Key West 10000 tons will be
on hand at all times.
During the last fiscal year the govern
ment purchased for the navy 2S1, 269
tons of coal. AN this was American
product. The plan of the navy depart
ment is, by the use of GOLFERS, to put
the best American coal AT the new coal
ing stations. so hat it will be possible
within a year for the navy to secure fine
grades of coal at Honolulu, Guam, Ma .
niIa, Pango-Pango, Cavite, San Juan
and Havana, and at every point will be
facilities for loading.
England is we'll fixed with coaling
stations. Germany is carrying out SIM
liar plans for feeding her war-ship fur
races, but the United States leads in
the matter. More progress has been
made in this matter i'm twelve months
than for the previous thirty Years. The
Importance Of these coaling stations is
not considered by the people who would
surrender islands that other powers
Would be glad to secure.

National Receipts Exceed Expenditures.

November ended with an excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures of IS, 500, 900 in
the month by the national treasury. The
expenditures for the five months of the
fiscal year, including the expenses Of
the Philippine war, We're $12, 500, 900 less
than the receipts.
This extraordinary balance has been
obtained by the growth of customs re-
ceipts for the month, amounting to $4,-
900, 900, and by internal evenu receipts
Of NEARLY 8 1000, 900, as compared with
the corresponding period of last year. In

totals for the five months of the pres
emit fiscal year, compared with the cor
responding period of last year, in ex-
p%enditures and receipts, that the
healthful condition of the treasury is
made palmer. The receipts this year so
far have been about 1886, 900, 900. as
against $201 ,OO0, 900 up to this time last
year, a gain of $35, 900, 900. OF this gain,
ST., 900, 900 was derived from customs,
s12,0 900, 900 from Internal revenue and
Sc, 900, 900 from miscellaneous sources.
The expenditures for the five months
of the present fiscal year will be $685.

In the year ending September I, indi-

made in a busy year. The cotton grow

ANNEXATION THE REMEDY.

New York Tribune.)
The future of Cuba presents a prob
lem which on it's face seems logically
insoluble. When the island gets into
such shape that in the deliberate judg-
ment of the United States a stable and
just free government can there be
maintained by the inhabitants, then in
dependence is to come. But such a con-
dition is not to be expected until indus
tries and business have been revived, SO
that labor can be we'll employed at fair
wages. That revival of industry cannot
be expected until capital has been OBJ
tanned for the restoration Of estates,
machinery and lines of transportation.
And it is extremely doubtful whether
the requisite capital can be obtained
until the political future of the island
has BEEN assured. The money will not
go without the stable government. and
the stable government will not come
without the money has been first invest
ed. From such a dilemma there seems
to be no possible escape.

WEST FOR THE GOLD STANDARD.
Brooklyn Standard Union.)

brooklyn Standard Union.)
1t should be gratifying to every be-
lever in honest money to know that
among Republican members of both the
house and the senate there is the
strongest feeling favorable to the plan
to declare for the gold standard. Some
1T the timid are saying THAT there will
be a harder fight in the house against
the proposed bill to make all govern
ment obligations, whether bonds or
money, payable i'm gold than it's advo-
Gates anticipate. They assert that with
a majority of only thirteen the Repub-
icans MAY find enough weakened
members to embarras their plan. They
predict a long fight in the house over
the caucus currency measure. There Is
really nc reason for such fear; of course
there are weakened individuals, but
the evident determination of the mass
Of Republicans to take a manly and
straightforward stand On this impor-
tan question should have the effect of
bringing such men into line. The very
fact that the majority is slender will
make party discipline more strict and
prevent kicking over the races. Then,
too, there are several Democrats who
can be relied upon to support the gold
proposition. 1t is very encouraging to
note the feeling of the Republicans
from such states aus Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Iowa. They are just ais DETER
mined as their brethren from the east
to place the government upon THE gold
standard. The people of the west have
BEEN educated upon this currency ques-
tion, and they realize that the only safe
ty is to settle the controversy in the
right way. The fact THAT a presidential
campaign is at hand might seem to EN-
barrass the question, but quite the con-
trary seems probable. 1t really makes
it the more imperative that the Repub-
licans should go before the country
without equivocation or hesitancy in IA
vor of the best possible money. And
they will do 80.
