The dissolution of the Cuban Assembly
will conduce undoubtedly to the pscifoa'
ton of the island and the establish
ment of an independent government. The
Assembly was not what its name seemed
to imply, q representative body of the
people, but simply an organization OF
military men who profsssed, without any
sufficient authority, to represent the
Cubans. What they were really
banded together for apparently was to
get the most money possible out of the
United States government. As long
as there was any chance that

of all created things the wild goose
might seem most fitted to be oblivious to
the charms of music. His own voice is
OF melodious, and he and his ancestors
for unnumbered ages have spent their
time in places unvisited by grand opera
or even by the hand-organ man. But five
wild geese, which are kept at the 9ogus
home and have been tanned by cutting a
tendon of their wings, have evince1 a
great fondness for music, and whenever
the band comes out, at inspection, the
geese go through the most extraordinary
manoeuvres, being fairly beside them

The municipal election in Toledo wa

The municipal election in Toledo was
one of great significance because it turned
entirely upon the question of Municipal
ownership of public utilities such as
waterworks, street car lines, etc. Mr.
zones, who was elected Mayor, Is a Re-
publican, but WAS running as an indepen-
dent, having been refused a denomination
by his party convention. Politics there
fore did not aid him, and his success
must be attributed solely to his advocacy
of municipal ownership. And this issue
did not stop at the mayoralty. All the
candidates for the city council were made
30 pledge themselves in regard to it, and a
majority of those elected stood with
Mayor Jones. The new Mayor will
promptly proceed TO put his views in force
by purchasing for the city the electric
light plant, and compelling rail-
road company which is seeking rights IT.
the streets to pay heavily for them. This
experiment of municipal ownership and
management will be watched with great
Interest. There can be little doubt that
there has been a growth in popular senti-
ment in favor of these things, especially
in the West. The result of the actual
trial of them in cities as large as Toledo
and Detroit will do much to check or has
ten its spread. If it can be shown by ex-
pertinent on large scale that under
municipal management the character of
the service is not impaired nor its ex-
pense to the people increased it will
not be many years before most cities will
be owning and managing their public
utilities.

-Ms, ii. NJ. Bean, the welhknown
shipping man of Camden, Me-, is an ad-
vocate of the six-masted schooner. 1t has
been thought that the five-master marked
the limit; but Mr.. Bean thinks SIX
master would be easy to handle, fast
sailer, and a money Garner. He expects
to see just such vessel built in his yard
within two years Such vessel would
cost about $4,000. The six masts would
be of an equal length, 1875 feet each and
when all the canvas was spread there
would be about $4,000 square yards. OF
enough TO olothe two thousand soldiers.
In length she would be 925 feet over all,
AZ feet in beam with a 2s foot hold. Mr..
Bean argues that If a five-master can re-
turn some 20 per cent, profit to her
owners in a year. six-master, with a
larger tonnage running under practically
the same expense, would yield a bigger
percentage of profit. AS shown by the
records Of other schooners, there is O pos
sibility of her making QSs trips year,
thus carrying $4,000 tons of coal. Aver
aging 20 cents per ton, trimming includ-
ed. the gross earnings for a year would
be 500, 800, 20 per cent. on the original in
vestment. Mr.. Bean estimates the total
expense ut s2l, 800, having profit of
$47, 500, or over AZ per cent.
Insurance on vessels averages about per
cent, and there would be left a net profit
of better than 40 per cent. some of the
