LEAKING GAS

At an early hour on Wednesday morning a
man living in an uptown street detected the
odor OF gas in his house. Investigation re-
vealed no leak, but pursuing the search he
found the smell much stronger outdoors and
lighted a match, perhaps to examine some ex-
terror pipe. Instantly a dozen jets Of flame
leaped UP from the sidewalk and arra. and
there was grave danger of serious explosions
and fires. The police were called and firemen
soon appeared, but it was a long and uncertain
job to find the leaking main below the street
surface and temporarily stop the iow
The incident Is far more important than the
immediate results proved 10 be. Everybody
knows that the gas companies pipes are to a
great extent in a miserable condition. The fact
is proved as often a street is excavated for
any purpose by the stencil which fills the air
The companies make no denial Of the leakage
Indeed, they have often unguardedly cited it as
a justification of high prices, saying that they
lost so much Of their product by waste that
they had to charge extra for what they saved
That was a risky argument and we believe
they have abandoned it,; but for the most part
the old conditions still exist and have been
rendered dOubly dangerous by the extended
use of impervious asphalt for street surfaces
The recent combination in the gas business has
been an excellent thing for stockholders, but
there are no signs Of IT'S being good thing for
the general public The price has been restored
TO the statutory figure the quality. according
to the testimony Of many consumers has been
lowered, and we hear of no efforts to make the
system of distribution safe and wholesome
Accidents due to leakage are now not infre-
quent and they must inevitably increase in
number with the increasing deterioration of
mains and connections. There should be q
sufficient sense of obligation on the part Of
managers, even 9fs they are not influenced by
calculations of advantage, to insure prompt
correction of obvious evils; but if that is lack
ing legislation should be invoked to compel
obedience to just and general demands

JARS TO A GREAT LEADERS, FAITH.

JARS 10 GREAT LEADERS FAITH.
No feature Of the Presidential canvasses of
1895 and 1900 has been richer in unconscious
humor than the undiscouraged energy with
which Chairman James K. Jones of the Demo
cratic National Committee has carried the coun-
try for Bryan every other day than that
set for election. Four years ago. indeed, the
Arkansas Senator still had the country carried
for his candidate forty-eight hours after the
votes were cast and counted; nor has he yet
accounted satisfactorily to himself for the per
versty Of certain States which upset his cal
culations in 1896 by choosing Mckinley instead
Of Bryan electors But in Chairman Jones's
lexicon there is no such word as dependency;
In his mental makeup there is no such quality
as self-distrust. True TO that conception Of
campaign managers functions which makes
the concealment Of weakness the single end OF
political strategy, the Arkansas leader is again
conducting Mr.. Bryan's fight for the Presidency
with easy optimism which marks him as
perhaps the most aggressive rainbow chaser
ever known 10 American politics. Last week
while on a visit 10 Washington he announced
that Colonel Bryan was certain to get an over
whelning majority in the Electoral College,
bis opponent saving only the 10 votes Of the
six New-England States, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Ohio and Iowa. Since arriving in Chi
cago Chairman Jones has issued a statement
claiming New-Jersey also as a Bryan State
thus reducing the prospective Republican
strength in the Electoral College to 105 votes
Such sublmity Of faith should impose even
on the most calculating and the most incredu-
lous. Yet there are Democratic leaders of Do
sition and influence who heartlessly venture to
challenge the processes by which Chairman
Jones keeps winning unezampled party vic
tories. We published not long ago the reply
made by ex-senator Arthur T. Gorman-him-
self chairman OF the Democratic National
Committee IN the days before Presidencies were
won by jotting down a few figures on a sheet
Of Office paper-to the question whether Bryan
would or would rot carry Maryland. Mr.. Cor
man evidently does not share the modern
theory that "bluff' and mystery are the only
staples in which an American politician can
afford 10 deal. and wrote humbug plainly over

EDUcATIoN IN Porto RICO.

A short time ago a terrible pother was raised
over this country's oppression" of Porto Rico.
A Mortified world was Informed that the United
States was, 80 to speak grinding that hapless
island beneath the iron heel Of despotism. (We
believe that is the orthodox phrase) We are
not sure that the Mckinley Administration was
charged with responsibility for the hurricane
which devastated the island; but, If not, that
was the only thing it escaped, 1t was accused
OF breaking faith with the Porto Ricans with
depriving them of their old markets and shut
ting them out of new ones, with imposition of
taxation without representation, with neglect
ing to provide roads, schools or any of the ap-
purtenances of civilized society, and with pre-
venting them from doing such works them
selves. In brief it had transformed them into
helots. We have noticed that such untruthful
and malicious clamor has of late subsided. The
known facts in the case are too strong against
1t. The good roads, the free schools, the reviv-
ing Industries, the expanding commerce, the
lightened taxes and the generally improved
condition of the people would provoke Homeric
laughter at the expense OF the virulent twaddle
of few months ago We need not go into all
the details of the work of regeneration which
has been done and is still being done In Porto
Rico. But as this Is the season of school open
lngs in the United States 1t may be interesting
to observe what is being done for the educa-
honal interests of the people of that island.
We have before us a handsomely gotten up
volume of more than six hundred pages. the
pages being alternately in English and Spanish.
1t is entitled Teachers Manual" or Manual
del Maestro" 1t was prepared by the President
Of the Insular Board of Education Or. Victor
Selden Clark, citizen Of the United States, by
the authority of the Board, Of which most of
tho members are Porto kicans, for the purpose
OF acquainting the teachers and school officers
of the island with the educational thought and
tendencies and general school system Of the
United States. II was deemed that specially
prepared work Of this kind would be at once
more convenient and more effective than mere
translations of number OF existing works
New-York tribune., 1900-09-25

.,h;ob had not been prepared for precisely that
purpose In this Or. CLARK was doubtless right
ord tho manner in which he has performed his
tnsl amply yindicatcs the wisdom of the de-
c:ston. The book is indeed so lucid and comprc-
bepsve that the English pages of it might wen
serve as n textbook and guide for teachers
throughout the United States. There is no I'M
portant detail nor step I'm the whole educational
ccursa from kindergarten to high school and
Industrial school, which is not carefully con
sidered and explained in the light of the best
rlcdern pedagogical knowledge and experience
All appendix contains admirable lists of read
iugs school library catalogues and numerous
fine engravings of model schOOlhouses school
room scenes etc. 1t is, in brief, particularly
complete blingual compendium of school teach
ing and management.
This we may assume, Is an earnest and an
exposition of what the United States Is doing
for Porto Ricnn education; and, as we all know,
education is one of the Islands most pressing
needs. The aim Is, while utilizing the vernacu-
lar and employing natives as teachers and
school officers, to create an insular school sys-
tenn comparable with the best in the United
States, and corresponding with 1t. just as the
opposite pages of DR. CIark's book correspond
with each other, though the one is in English
and the other in Spanish. There ia, as we have
said, no work more needed than this, and we
can conceive Of none promising more beneficial
results. II is not too much to add that 1t could
not have been undertaken in a more rational
auspicious and effective way than that adopted
by DR.. Clark and approved by his colleagues of
the Insular Board The redemption of people
from intellectual bondage will in this way be
made as complete as their emancipation from
political bondage. upon which It so closely
follows.

New-York tribune., 1900-09-25
Chairman Johes's cherished forecasts by de-


At this stage of the campaign it is impossible
to make valuable prophecies. Hundreds or men
in Maryland who have been Republicans are un-
doubtedly for Bryan this year. There are Ger
tainly many Democrats who intend to vote tor
Mckinley. The tide runs strong to Bryan out
notice the Democrats who are against MN MN. .
make predictions. only say the ulll' VI
sentiment favors Bryan
What st1stenance for his mountain moving
faith could Chairman Jones find in this COOL
dispassOnate. accurate estimate of condluohs
as they are in Maryland? Nor is Senator Gor-
man the only candid and even tempered Demo
crat TO discredit by indirection the Arkansas
Senator's talents as a political oracle w A
Clark, Senator ex-senator or Senatorial claimant
from the State of Montana, seems also 10 thlhk
that "shirtsleeves' frankness has as useful
place in our politics as it has in our diplomacy
Asked on Sunday what States in the Far W est
Colonel Bryan was likely to lose, he answered:
I believe Mckinley will carry both the Da-
kotas wyoming. Washington. Oregon ana CAL
fornia The great increase in our trade with the
Orient and the development OF Alaska nave
done much to strengthen the Repubncan party
in the Far West.
in expressing this opinion Mr.. Clark was, of
course. only echoing the judgment of every poll
tician really familiar with conditions in the
Pacific Slope and Rocky Mountain States. But
what brutal Jar to Chairman Jones's precon-
cepfions this damaging admission gives! If the
National Chairman's gift of prophecy is thus
TO be houted in high official quarters, what en-
coura cement can his assurances carry to de-
spondent fusion patriots. who If they can
carry the Electoral College ia November are
quite Indifferent whether they carry 1t at all!
Senator Jones should suspend his rainbow
chasing operations until he can agree with
other distinguished Democrats on the market
value of his forecasts. At present, with Sena-
tor Clark and ex-senator German, they seem
like the silver dollar which Colonel Bryan is
trying to force upon the country-to he worth
in the neighborhood of 4S cents.
