A part of a loaf is better than no
bread, and therefore the action of the
city council in setting aside a portion
of the fines collected in police court for
park purposes will be appreciated by
the peOple-to just that extent. Our
contemporary a y that not one cent of
the amount will be spent in retaining
any alkali fiat south Of town. While
that is a reflection entirely uncalled
for, the people would be pleased to have
the matter settled and settled right. II
the present site Of the city park is to
be abandoned, then the sooner anoth-
er is secured the cheaper it will be for
the city. The park should be located
where it will prove a blessing to the
greatest possible number Of citizens,
and where plenty of water may be had
for irrigation. II the present site is
not good enough, then ground east of
the city should be secured.

UNCIVILIZED WARFARE.

A new horror has been added to the
war in South Africa. In the belated
dispatches from Ladysmith bearing ac-
counts of the doings of the ~beleagured
garrison, the allegation is made, as
calmly as though its terrible import
were not sufficient to stand the whole
civilized world aghast, that on Christ
mas day the Beers withdrew from ,heir
shells the merciful bursting charges OF
gunpowder and filled the vacancy with
the deadly British plum pudding.
The dispatch, evidently filled in by d
too Industrious telegraph operator OPP
orator, who missed its real significance,
goes on to state that one OF the shells
fired that day landed in IN officers
mess tent. and that Immediately one
lieutenant was killed and half a dozen
others rendered hors du combat.
The inconceivable atrocity of this act
of war, coming as it does on the inter-
national festival of good will, is
enough to make any partisan of wal
give pause, HdJ IL Oul dlulleS Dt-
fore Santiago had brought up the siege
guns and filled the starving %Spaniards
with mince pies or embaimed beef?
What if the British should draw the
lyddite, deadly alike in its explosion
and its fumes, from their shells and
hurl back into the defiant BOer ranks a
few portions of the AllvOlksdernO-
zusholdt cheese popular among the
b%urghers? The very thought of such
atrocities in revolving. but they would
be strictly in accordance with the u.s.
age Of the Beers, a trick of war which
the Geneva convention unfortunately
overlooked.
We hope that no more such deeds
will be done by the men who are so
bravely fighting for the exclusive con-
troll of the Transvaal primaries, and if
the war must be fought out let it be a
matter of wounds and blood. with no
dread specter of dyspepsia gnawing at
the vitals of the struggling heroes

ARMY IN
No Reduction in the Force VIII be
Present.

Washington, Jan. st is regarded
in army circles as probable that there
will be no reduction in the military
force now in the Philippines for at
least six months. Including all the
arms of service, the total fighting force
in the Philippines is fully 1000 men.
The war department wishes to avoid
a repetition of the mistake of under
estimating the difficulties to be en-
countered, and the policy will o be
followed Of having more men than
needed rather than too few. Although
the progress made in crushing the in
surrection in Luzon is satisfactory, it
is expected strong forces will have to
be maintained for some time in all
parts of the island to insure order and
protect inhabitants from rowing bands
of insurgents and other disaffected ma
tivese. 1t is hoped, however, the paciti-
cation of the island will progress so
that by the beginning Of the next rainy
season a considerable reduction of the
force can be made.

1t is the mission of language and
literature in education to bring young
individual life into accord with the
molds of historical life, says President
Benjamin lde Wheeler in the Atlantic.
Mind is expanded in the molds of
mind; not in the ~lifeless geometric
cells of logic and reasoning, but in the
life cells shapen to contain the prod
ucts of the soul-the whole, the living
soul. The practically logical mind is
a healthy, well-nourishing mind
nothing more or less. Such mind is
produced by feeding it during the
years Of development upon healthy
normal food, not upon the embalmed
food of the %logicians OF the chemists.
The Chinese mandarins trained upon
language and innocent of pure logic
are said to be the keenest practical
logicians in the world. The forms of
reasoning, indeed, to which a child
is stimulated in catching the meanings
of sentences of the mother speech, or
which a boy uses in making out the
meaning of a sentence in his Caesar
from the imperfect data of words and
syntaX. are the forms of contingent
reasoning which are almost exclusive
ly employed in the decisions and judg-
ments of actual life. Men who pretend
to regulate their lives according to
well-construCted syllogisms-and it
must be p%retense or self-deception, for
there are no such syllogisms in life
are generally regarded as impossible
men. They are what are politely
known as cranks.

The Republican would advise the
people Of Laramie who are interested
in a public library to petition Mr.. Car
negie Notwithstanding the fact that he
has given the city of Cheyenne $50
5000. Because he has given this sum
to the capital is no reason why he
should not be willing to make a dona-
ton for Laramie. In Colorado he has
given the town Of Boulder a donation
and the town of Grand Junction as
well.

PLAGUE AT HONOLULU.

The bubonic plague has broken out at
Honolulu and is causing much uneasi-
ness among the health officers. Ed
ward Towse, in a special telegram to
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, says:
Honolulu, H. l., Dec. rs, 1899, via San
Francisco, Cal, Jan. 2.-There had not
been a new or suspicious case or death
plague appeared again on Christmas
day. Three persons, W Chinese and
a white girl, died very suddenly. The
symptoms were typical. Post mortems
A board of five physicians declared that
the plague had again shown itself.
The health commissioners were called
from their homes and action was taken
Island travel is prohibited ono more
and every %precaution is being taken to
protect shipping from the mainland
and from colonial and European and
rats and the tenement districts and
Chinatown are being disinfected and
f%umigated.
Chinese and japanese freight lately
arrived is simply stored away. 1t is
reasonably certain that the disease was
brought from Kobe n Hong Kong,
or perhaps Yokohama, in such food
stuffs as the Chinese and Japs import
in quantities. 1t was decided
by the health commissioners hat in
stead of quarantining an entire dis
tcict of the city, 1t would be better to
thin out the population OF Chinatown,
establish camps in the foothills and
place armed and uniformed guards
about the houses in which cases have
developed. One of the Cinnamon dy-
ing yesterday had arrived only in the
morning from another part of the ISL
and. This fact has caused much alarm.
So far every person attacked by the
plague has died.
| have interviewed every physician
here and they unite in saying that
there is no specific treatment for the
plague. They can merely give atten-
tiOn to OSCILLATIONS of the disease.
However, they are hopeful of using
cleanliness as a foe to the plague sue
cessfully. All say that what is needed
is the serum in use in India and Por-
tugal, but there is none of it here, and
it will be many weeks before 1t can be
secured. The schools will remain clos
cd Indefinitely.
4 system of house to house inspec-
ton and search has beeen organized
with a volunteer force of citizens and
close hunt is being made for sick per
sons, but it is extremely difficult to ge
on the trail of a victim til after he is
dead, when there must be application
for a burial certificate. The chinese
physicians readily issue certificates as
desired for a fee. The japanese phys
icians have proven to be intelligent and
trustworthy. All the white. physicians
are at the call of the health commits
sion.
The steamship Australia is leaving

health, the commissioners had declar,
ed that port entirely clean. The tour
lists are quite nervous, but 1t Is clearly
shown that the danger to foreigners
who are at all careful is as small as at

elers pay no attention to the plague,

ADV ERSE REPORT,
Bill to Reduce the Price of Electricit,
DisaDDrOyeU.

Bill to Reduce the Price of Electricity
DisapprOved.
The District Commissioners have submit
ted to Representative Babcock chairman of
the House District committee, a report on
House bill IOS6. to reduce the price of cleo
tricity in the District. The bill proposes that
LEGAL electric light and power companies
shall furnish to the public and private con-
sumers in all parts of the District standard
arc lights of not less than 1000 actual
candle power at rate not exceeding $50
per annum, and that on and after July /,
1900, the maximum price for electric cur
rent sold or furnished to any consumer in
the District shall be reduced from the pres
ent maximum Of 10 cents per kilowatt hour
to not exceeding cents per kilowatt hour.
In their report of the proposed measure
the Commissioners say they have carefully
considered it, and in connection with the
same have given much attention to the
lighting by electricity and its cost in this
and other cities. From careful and i'm
partial investigation they are convinced
that to compel the electric lighting COM
panies of the District to furnish current at
the prices given in the bill would be to re-
Quire them to furnish it at price much
below the cost to the companies. There
fore they return the bill with the statement
that in their opinion 1t should not be favor
ably acted upon.
