How About Cuba ?

Senator Pettigrew, Republican, Of South
Dakota, has introduced several resolutions Of
inquiry into the Senate relative to Mr.. Ne
Kinley's foreign policy, and he has given the
Administration Senators much trouble. Mr..
Pettigrew should present resolution inquir
ing of Mr. Mckinley why United States SOL
diers are occupying and administering the
government of Cuba; whether they are there
by request, and if so, by whose request. We
are not aware that any authorized govern
ment of Cuba has invited this government to
assume control of affairs there, TO collect and
disburse taxes, aud to pass regulations for
government of the island, and some very
delicate questions may arise later, unless
tae Hanna Mckinley Administrator intend
eventually to annex Cuba to the United
States. Just what our position and inten-
tons toward Cuba are ought to be known, and
Senator Pettigrew or some other Senator
should institute an inquiry.

To Issue County Bonds.

The School Commissioners of Carroll are
in debt to the amount of about $50, 600. This
debt has been accommodating for twenty years,
and the School Board fnd the interest charge
of about $500 year heavy load. Conse-
quently they are having bill prepared to
present to the General Assembly to procure
authority for the County Commissioners to
issue bonds to the amount of $50, coo IN order
to fund the debt 1t is argued that the School
Board cannot borrow at less rate than SIX
per cent, whereas the county can borrow for
four per cent The bill has not been drawn,
and the provisions cannot be given.
The debt ought never to have been con-
tracted. School Commissioners should have
expended the funds placed into their hands
by the state and county to the best advantage,
and had no right to do more. The County
Commissioners are required to levy ten cents
on the 500 for public school purposes, and
have levied far beyond that for over twenty
years. In recent years the levy for schools
has been from Is to 20 cents. In addition
the School Board has been receiving from
81. 600 to IS, 900 year for nearly tea years
from liquor licenses.
Still the debt has been contracted and the
county has gotten the benefit, aud the people
will have 10 pay it. In the future, however,
If Is hoped no School Board will expend more
than the annual appropriations. 1t will be
MANY wears before the people will again sane
tion the issuance Of bonds. Ofthe County Ger
tifcates issued thirty five years ago. S., $40 are
outstanding aud there are also outstanding
81 600 of the Court House Repair Bonds-a
total Of Sl2, 575. A public debt is not a pub
lie blessing. and an addition Of $4,000 will
make a total Of $40, SIS. This is not large,
of course, for a county with a taxable bass
Of over SIG, OOO, 600. but the addition OF $780,
GOO in four per cent. bonds means $1,000
year additional expense.
The people are not now nor never have hsd
proper returns for the money spent for school
purposes. and never viii so long as there Is
disposition to aim at higher education. The
advanced" pupils are getting smatiering
of studies that will never be any use to them,
to the neglect ofa practical and useful edu-
cation in spelling reading, writing, geogra-
phy. history and plain mathematics.

Turn Down Reform League Bills.

The General Assembly of Maryland will
seriously err if it passes the Reform League
bills for the governance of the police force of
Baltimore. The Reform League is composed
of theorists and impracticables and Radical
Republicans. That League, through the Re-
publican party, foisted upon this state Il reg
istration and election law that is inconsistent,
cumbersome and expensive, and which has
not added anything to the purity Of elections.
The Reform League police bills will add to
the expense of the city and not secure any
more efice mt constabulary than the city had
prior to Republican rule in 1895. Baltimore
city pays the expense of its police force, and
Mayor Hayes and some of the City Council
asked no more than the city's due-a repre-
sentative Of the city government on the Po-
lice Board, in order to see how the money is
spent The Republican party was wrecked
in carrying out the idea the Reform League.
Let the Democratic majority in the Legisla-
ture make note of it.

New Wall Maps Of Maryland.

ANNAPOLIS, MD., January %. = In the
House today Mr.. Lakin, of Frederick county,
introduced bill calling for an appropriation
of 1000 to be expended for new large scale
or wall maps of Maryland, lack of which is
generally recognized. There has been no
wall map of the State for twenty years. Mr..
Lakin's bill empowers the Board Of Public
Works to have the map printed and to provide
for its distribution among the public schools of
the state, each school not to have more than
two. The maps are to display the geographi-
cal and physical features Of the state.

Brigham Fl. Roberts, Congressman-elect
from Utah, has been denied admittance to
the House of Representatives and his seat
declared vacant. The vote on his case was
taken on Thursday afternoon, and was 268
yeas to 80 nays The House has established
dangerous precedent. Roberts had as much
right to a seat in the House as any other mem
Der and should have been sworn in. Later
he could be expelled if the House so voted,
but it is also doubtful if his past record would
be good ground for expulsion. If it were,
that would be denial of repentance and re-
formation.

In order to shorten the distance from At
lantic ports to the Philippine Island the Nc
Kinley Administration is intent upon building
a canal across Nicaragua, and then it is
proposed to buy the Danish West Indies, so
as to have base of operations to defend the
canal in case of war. The imperial policy of
Hanna and Mckinley embraces large schemes.

The Evening Journal has begun
a house-to-house canvass of the
city of Wilmington for subscribers.
To lay the foundation for that
canvass we already have distrib-
uted gratuitously many thousands
of copies of the paper in its new
and enlarged form.
Newsboys will continue that
free distribution from day to dav
in the several districts in which
the canvassers are operating.
We invite those who receive the
paper to compare it with any Viii

now are receiving in point of news
and mechanical get-up, feeling
sure that such a comparison will
result favorably to our canvass.

Smyrna, May 4.-Farmers uving near
Smyrna are very much interested in
the experiments now being made at the
farm of Walter Massey, two miles
north Of this place, by Professors Pow
ell and Sanderson, and DR.. Neale, of
Delaware College. They are endeavor-
ing to stamp out the aphides
which have been bothering strawberry
plants for several years in this section
of Kent and New Castle counties. They
are small insects that feed on the roots
of the plants, making them non-pro-
ductive. Being underground, they are
hard TO reach, but the experiments now
being made are to solve the questions
of destroying these injurious insects.
sulphur will be burned and the
fumes forced in the ground around the
roots OF the plant killing the aphldes,
at the same time resulting in no injury
to the plants. The professors were
