FACTS AND LTBELS.

Colonel Murphy cannot find anything scan
dalous in the Police Department. He assures
the presldent of the Merchants Association OF
his great anxiety 10 make the police as perfect
as possible but after diligent inquiry he has
become convinced that everything is lovely.
The scandal is all due 10 the lbels of a degen-
crate press. There are no murders, no rob-
berries. He is ready 10 cooperate with all good
citizens 10 remedy any evils that can be dis
covered, but for his life he cannot find among
all the charges against the Police Department
anything but lies. Poor man! Just to help him
out, and enable him TO make his good intentions
effective for reform. we will tell him a few
facts
In March last Patrolman Callan. an ex-prize
fighter made an unprovoked assault on a citi-
zen who was so unfortunate as to witness his
neglect OF duty. The citizen received a com
pound fracture Of the Jaw. and was laid up in a
hospital for seven weeks. The OK x-prize fighter
is still on the force. the complaint against him
having been secretly and sneakingly dismissed
by Deputy Commissioner York, Colonel aur-

scandal but fact.

WOMAN DENTISTS.

Careful observers of social conditions in Hol-
land mention the interesting fact that in that
country above most others women are conspicu-
ousy successful in various departments of pro-
fessional work. Thirty years ago woman doc
tors, lawyers and heads of churches were al
most unknown in Europe or America. 1t was
then extremely difficult for woman to get in
struction and obtain a diploma on either side of
the Atlantic. The breaking down of the old
barriers against feminine ambitions for profes-
sional training and practice has gone on apace
here and abroad, until at this time IL is not
much more difficult in the United States, in
England and on the Continent of Europe for a
woman TO secure thorough professional edu-
cation than ii is for man.
In these days woman doctors are by no
means rare in the principal cities of this coun-
try and OF the Old World, and many of them
are notably successful. or woman law
yers and woman preachers the number Is as
yet comparatively small, but there is a field
suitable for womanly work which has not been
neglected in Holland, while II has had few
feminine occupants in the United States In
Holland woman dentists hold their own in com
petition with men, Why is It that dentistry has
enlisted the services OF small a number Of
women in the United States? Since dentists Of
the gentler sex succeed so we'll In Holland. why
should they not succeed equally we'll here?

many less than half as much increase from
South America. a very small increase from
minor European countries. and an insignificant
increase from Africa. From every other coun-
try Cuban imports showed a decrease.
Exports from Cuba, on the contrary, show an
increase to all countries excepting Spain, Porto
Rico and Asia The increase TO the United
States was 81 1553, ,621, something more than
the decrease of imports from this country, thus
bringing Cuban exports to and imports from the
United States nearer to balance-indeed, pretty
nearly to 1t. the former exceeding the latter by
less than 81 100000 in the seven months. But
the increase of exports to Germany was far
larger amounting to 1892, 106. and making the
balance of trade with Germany decidedly in
Cuba's favor. The increase of exports to GER
many was not only larger than to the United
States, IT was larger than to this country ana
all the rest of the world put together.
These figures do not show that the united
States Is In imminent danger of being driven
out Of the Cuban market by Germany. They do
show that Germany is the rival with which the
United States has most to contend. And they
suggest, above all else, an intensely interesting
inquiry as TO what might be the tendencies OF
Cuban commerce If under any influence that
island were permitted to make tariffs discrimi-
mating against this country and to enter into
commercial alliances hostile to the United
States.

ornizing influences will continue to be feit our
ing the whole fiscal year, and unless there IS
some violent change in the conditions which are
forcing internal revenue collections every year
to still higher figures the Treasury will be con-
fronted next June with surplus fully twice as
big as il had calculated on accumulating.
Probably the Treasurys showing for July ana
August should be taken vindication of the
Senate's contention last winter for deeper cut
in internal revenue taxes. The Treasury De
partment originally recommended reduction
of about s3O.O000O0 The House of Repre-
sentatives proposed TO surrender about $4oooo'-
600 of income. and the Senate, after planning
a cut of over $50 oO0.0 900. was forced to com
promise with the popular branch on a bill
which remitted little less than S45.o0o,O0O in
taxes. 1t was the hope of the Senate leaders
TO settle the internal tax problem for another
decade But in this hope they may be disap-
pointed if the nations annual income obstl-
nately persists in overrunning the bounds SET
for it in the Treasury's estimates

TELEGRAPH MANAGEMENT.

The annual report of the British Postmaster
General discloses the interesting fact that
while n considerable profit was made on the
mail service the loss in the operation or rne
telegraph lines was uncomfortably heavy. For
eign governments are sending experts TO this
country 10 study American railroads in the
hope of getting information of value. Might 1t
not be wise for the Postofice Department OF
Great Britain TO dispatch across the Atlantic
competent investigators to study the manage
ment of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, which has been paying dividends upon its
bulky capital without break for long series
of years?
Possibly these induirers might learn much
here with regard to the details and methods of
teegraphic administration which would prove
to be of substantial worth in the guidance of
the Englishmen in London who have charge of
the system of messages by wire. 1t may he
that the New World has made greater progress
in such matters than has been achieved on the
other side of the ocean.

figures show that Cuban industries are being
rehablitated; that the island is supplying it's
