The G | o b has never felt hesitation by
sustaining the general attitude taken by
Health Commissioner Ohage on all mat
ters of administrative concern which re-
late to the sanitary welfare Of the COM
nunity. 1t has been outspoken in sus-
express admiration for his activity III
many directions in which he has plainly
sought the public welfare He has been
often treated with unmerited hostility by
many of his associate officials, but he
has managed to overcome most if not
all of the bitterness which his disregard
of private interests has brought upon
him. AS long as he continues on the
same general lines of official action
which he has marked out for himself
he can safely rely on the G o e to
sustain him without regard to any op-
posing interest which relates to individ-
ual concern
While Dr. ohage is the anpointee of
Republican mayor, his entire official
course has been In directions which are
distinctively Democratic and which
must entitle him to the sup
port and sustainment of the mass
of people protesting Democratic
principles. At the last meeting of

LEr THEM REWARE.

Those who are determined to force upon
the taxpayers the cost of the pur-
chase of site for a jail and the con-
struction of a Jail building, seem to
have taken courage to persist in their
efforts from the fact that the opposition
which has manifested itself has become
exhausted by the apparent hopeIessness
OF the contest against the foolish and
unwarrantabIe expenditure of the public
funds involved.
The view thus entertained is an al
together novel one. It means, if it has
any meaning at all, that If the adherents
of a course of policy which merits and
has received unqualified public condem-
nation, are only persistent enough and go
far enough in the course against which
the public has warned them, the opposi-
tion must perforce cease and the scheme
be carried into effect by sheer force OF
purpose This is dangerous ground to
stand on. It is one subversive of all
thought of the controlling influence Of
public opinion intelligently expressed.
1t merits and will receive the unquali-
fed opposition OF all public officials
who adopt IT,
why, we have practically already
chosen u site; Jail building is wanted;
we can't build one on the present site;
we can build subterrancan or mid-air
passages, or any other means OF com
mnnication we see fit between our edi-
fee, after We haze erected it. and the
court hoiise. So, let us buy and build
forthwith. 4" This is the philosophy of
these gentieInens position. They ig-
more the established fact that the pres
ent jail building can be repaired to meet
all demands for years to come at an in
considerable cost. They disregard both
the present and The future interests of
the community. They simply think they
have The power; and they propose TO
30 ahead without regard to the opinion
OF the wish of the pubic. But they

conscientious and discriminating public
official. 1t was designed to put an end
to the dangerous and unclean praotics
of throwing fruit rinds and otper like
matter on the Sidewalks.
There are few. precautions more neces-
sary to the public health and safety than
this. In no well-ordered community is
such violation of cleanliness and good
order tolerated either by public officials
or private citizens. The prevention of it
is a public duty. 1t is at cJGA 8 rehec-
tion on the. intelligence and honesty Of
those who set themselves in opposition
to it. There have been many occasions
during the past three months which tend
to show that Democratic members of the
council have scant regard for the inter
ests of the administration of which they
are part and even less for the gen
eral interest of their party in the COM
munity. 1t is but a poor sequel to DEM
ocratic criticism of Republican methods
that individual Democratic officials shall
feel at liberty, as they apparently do
right along to act on their own individ-
ual views of interest or policy In mat
tiers which directly affect the public well
fare and the reputation of their party,
in the administration of city affairs.
The G % b e would like to see Demo
Gratis generally sustain DR.. Ohage. He
has been an exceptionally strong pub
lie official He has done more of tangi-
bic good during his brief tenure Of office
than almost any other man could Or
would have thought OF doing. He has
the sustainment of the general public;
and when members of the council set
themselves to ridcule or oppose neees-
sary measures designed by him for the
public good they simply place themselves
in false position, and entitle them
selves to the disapproval of the more
thoughtful of their constituents.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that DR..
Ohage will show the same persistence In
this matter of ridding the sidewalks of
obnoxious and dangerous substances
which he has shown in many other
directions in which he has secured the
thoughtless or ilI-notived opposition of
other officials.

THE INEVITABLE DIscoNTENT.


THE INEVITABLE DIsC0NTENT.
1t might have been foreseen that the
intelligent people of Porto Rico would
not meekly submit to the injustice con-
tanned in the tariff tax imposed upon
them without their consent and in vio-
lation of the constitution. But the opfn-
ion of men was divided six months ago
on the question Of whether the taxation
would result in depressing the business
of the island. Aside from this, certain
features of the Foraker Jaw were always
objected to by Porto Rico, and chief
among these other features is the pro-
vision organizing courts and providing
for the appointment Of judges. When
the United States first took hold of the
island provisional court was estab-
lished, which largely superseded the
Spanish courts, and it gave reasonable
satisfaction. But the Foraker bill abo!-
ished this court and re-established the
Spanish system, giving the latter almost
complete Jurisdiction with the exception
of limited operation of the United
States district court. AS consequence
of this arrangement, even American cit
liens on the island have to forego, in
the majority of cases, the American
right of trial by jury. Honest American
judges might make this more bearable,
but as yet they have not been appoint
.
ed gentleman from Chicago, who has
been trying to do business on the is
land and permanently locate there,
writes as follows on this condition:
''The result is that the administration of
justice here is the worst anybody could
imagine Another result is that by the
vacillating policy of the admin; n;stration
toward the Porto Ricans and it's treat
ment of them as foreigners (and as such
entitled to the protection of the United
States, in the now classic language of
the Foraker bill. section .. the Amer
leans have produced against themselves
in two years feeling of hatred here
which the paniards-government and
people-did not succeed In producing.
CAS- further result, the American
population here, instead of increasing, as
was expected, is decreasing rapidly In
Ponce you will scarcely find half a dozen
Americans now in business.
''As a further result of the policy of
the administration, poverty and mortal
ity here have almost reached the maxi
mum. The revival of business by hasten
ing the opening of the markets of the
states did not come because the markets
are not open, despite the reduction of
the tariff, as a custom house IS always a
barrier, be the tariff small or big The
little help that came from the states
after the devastation of last years. cy-
clone was only a drop in the sea"
This ought to prove a warning against
giving the new possessions government
outside our own constitution. The peo-
pie of the. islands will be satisfied with
nothing less than what we enjoy. They
know just what it is, or If they do not
the establishment of something else viii
make contrast that will quickly en.ight-
en- them. The contrast has been so great
in Porto Rico that even the ignorant
might be expected to notice it, and the
present discomfort is a natural conse-
quence.

SMART SHORT STORIES.

The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg was
one day gambling at the Doberan tables,
and was betting on the same numbers
as rich master-potter who stood next
TO him. Both having lost their money.
the grand duke inquired: well, pot
ter, what shall we do now?" oh re-
piled the master-potter, your highness
will screw up the taxes and 1 shall make
pots!''
Justin Mccarthy and some friends were
talking once about a member of the
house of commons. A lady who was
one of the company said it was a pity
for the sake of his personal appearance
that he had such very large ears. Yes,
said T. p. OConnor, the brilliant par
liamentary and platform orator, ''and
worst of it is. that while they are too
large for ears, they are too small for
wings
1t was once unusual for Highland sflep-
herds to take their dogs into church and
leave them outside the pews. Two shep-
herds at enmity- sat on opposite. sides of
the aisle one Sunday,sand soon after the
sermon began the dogs--one a collie and
the other not--seemed to enter into their
masters quarrel The shepherds egged
on their dogs in undertones, and soon
there was real fight IN progress Nest
of those in the immediate neighborhood
craned their necks oyer the paws to see
how the encounter was coming out, and
not few were. standing up. The min s.
ter's patience was ultimately exhausted,
and so he called to his hearers" and
said: "Ah, weel, my britherin, / see ye
are more interested in the dog fight than
in, my sermon, and so Ill close the buike
and I'll bet half a crown on the collie."
