376-Ahead of Many Counties.
No South Jersey county, excepting
Camden, has the criminal business of
Cumberland. 1t is surprising that this
county should have so many more county
Jail commitments than the surrounding
counties.
II may be that in Cumberland the ofe
GERS are more vigilant in the suppression
of crime.
Each year the Sheriff makes out the
statistics for the association of women
who are Interested in charities and
prisons, and which does much work in
the bettering of the condition of the un-
fortunates.

number 335 were males, and Al females.
3l9 were white and 81 colored. 80 were
foreign born and 337 natives. 72 were of
foreign parentage, with 304 with native
ancestry. In religion, 3S were of the
Catholic faith, 8 Hebrews, and $50 Protes.

This morning Thomas Sloan, carpen-
ter, was working upon the new house
building on Commerce street for VIM. F.
Harris. Sloan was upon the topmost
scaffold, and in order to reach one point
stood upon small bench. The bench
must have tipped over throwing Sloan
from the scaffold, and he dashed face
downward to the ground below.
When his fellow workmen hurried to
him they found him conscious but suffer-
ing terrible pain. His nose seemed to be
mashed and broken and his arm was
very much hurt. He was also internally
hurt. DR.. David Streets was nearby and

THE CIRCUS Is COMING.

Billings, Monday, June IL. .
The old adage, Nothing succeeds
like success" aptly applies to the ia
nous Sands & Astley's English Ameri-
can shows, which will exhibit in Bill
ings on Monday, June IL. These every
where popular exhibitions. now in the
twentieth year of artistic and financial
success, will make the appearance as
above; bringing, unquestionably, it is
claimed, by far the best tented shows
on the American continent. The press
and public of the east endorse it un-
stintingly and invite return visits. Its
two great troupes of educated horses
enact their part u~ntrammeled by har-
ness or trappings, obeying by command,
neither whip nor force being used; a
revelation in equine intelligence and
sagacity. The greatest and most mod
ern feats by three circus and hippo
drome t1oupes. Huge double menagerie
of rare wild animals. Many %ethnologi-
cal features of unusual merit. 1t is
vouched for as being an exhibition I'M
precedented for rare excellence in the
annals of a~musements.

WISH.

The democratic party, could it have
its way. would no doubt have the wal
in the Philippines last until the presi
Dental election, in the hope that the
record of disorder, death and dest1uc.
tion would form a chorus to it's walls
of calamity and attract to it's support a
discontinued, detected and distracted
people. Democracy never thriyes when
there is peace, plenty and prosperity in
the country, and is therefore anxious
that the war may continue and bring
about adverse conditions.
But the wal is practically over.
And it has been a popular war a vic
torious war; a war which has made
American arms and manhood shine
resplendently throughout the civilized
world. This sounds the doom of dem
ooracy, which. in the hope Of securing
control of the government, would
rather have seen the war a failure and
disaster overtake the American people.

A GOOD GOVERNMENT.

The United States Philippine COM
mission has submitted the following
written propositions to the insurgents
While the final decision as to form of
government is in the hands of congress,
the president. under his military pow
ers pending action of congress, stands
ready to offer the following form Of
government: A governor general to be
appointed by the president; a cabinet
to be appointed by the governor gen.
eral; all principal judges to be appoint
ed by the president; heads of depart
ments and inferior judges to be either
Americans or Filipinos, or both, and
also a general advisory council, its
members to be chosen by the people by
form of suffrage to be hereafter care
fully carefully determined upon. The
president earnestly desires that blood
shed cease and the people of the Philip
pines at an early date enjoy the largest
measure of self.government compatible
with peace and order. The commission
prepared the scheme and the president
cabled approval.
Surely, that is a good enough form
of government. It is in accord, too,
with the policy Of President Mckinley
given out months ago-to do that
which is best for the Filipinos and this
country. That is logical. just and
right. What other nation in the world
would be so liberal with a lot of semi
savages, who for months have been
waging against it a barba1ous warfare?
The proposition will no doubt give
the Filipinos some members of the cab
met to be chosen by the governor gen.
eral; it will give them some of the
heads Of departments; also ar advisory
council to he chosen by the natives,
and the inferior judges. That is as
zeal self-government as it can be, and
is vastly better than the tyrannical rule
of Spain. The Filipinos are not capa-
BILE of a nearer approach to govern
themselves; they must be taught the
forms and uses of government under
conditions existing in this country-a
government which derives its power
from the consent of the governed.
The Filipinos, at this writing, have
not accepted the proposition, although
the president of their commission ad-
mits that the form of government is
liberal. It is better than they have any
right to expect; better, no doubt, than
they deserve. But Uncle Sam is al
ways humane and generous to a van
quished foe. The Filipinos, if they
know what is good for them. had better
quit fighting and come under the pro-
tecting folds of the American flag; it is
a haven OF peace, rest and comfort; it
will insure them an advanced civiliza-
tion and future happiness.

WELCOME THE PRESIDENT,

Other Montana cities are taking &C.
ton to welcome President Mckinley
when he visits Montana this summer,
and Billings should do the same. The
president, if he visits the Yellowstone
park, will pass through this city,
where all trains stop for ten or fifteen
minutes. It could be arranged, nc
doubt, to have this time heightened,
when the president could be properly
received and the honors accorded him
which are due the chief magistrate of
this great nation. Billings would be
proud to formally welcome President
Mckinley; his administration has not
done more for any section of the coun-
try than that surrounding this city.
Let the council, at it's meeting next
week, wire the president that the peo-
pie of Billings would be glad to be &C.
corded the privilege of welcoming him.
The invitation should be official and
Mayor Yegen. who is of the Mckinley
persuasion, should see to it that the
council does not neglect this matter.
The citizens will arrange for the recep-
ton and demonstration in honor of the
president if an assurance is given that
he will make his stop here of sufficient
length.
