The intelligent struggles of the Gu
ban teachers with English have fur
afshed US vita good many pretty
stories. One day not long ago the
teachers were invited to some sort of
an evening function at the Longfellow

shat shortly before the hour for the
assembly some ladies who were in

preached by group of male Cuban
teachers, who, with their hats in their

Board of Public Improrements-and there are

Board Of Public Improvements-and there are
no mourners, far as we have been able TO
discover. Ii was predicted that each within
its sphere would accomplish great things. but
in reality neither has justified its existence
and there is good reason TO believe that the
new machinery will not cause anybody to re-
gret the old. The legislature has wisely reduced
the commissions eXtravagant allowance of
aldermen from l20 to I3. which will not only
save money, but tend 10 efficiency. The same
thing may be said of the distribution among
various local officers of the powers heretofore
exercised by the Board of Public Improve
ments and by Highway, Sewer and Buildings
commissioners. These changes are opposed TO
the general principle of Capitalization embodied
in the revision, but they relate to interests
which are largely localized. and the excep-
tional method of treatment would seem to be
well advised Local feeling is also judiciously
recognized i'm the new powers and dignities con-
ferred on the Borough Presidents.
Doubtless of all the commissions proposals
the one which attracted most attention and
generally deemed most important was that
concerning the Police Department Circum-
stances caused the legislature to adopt 1t, with
some notifications. by means of a separate act.
The city is already pretty well used to single
commissioner OF anu IL IL
say more at present on that subject. The most
important change which the legislature has
made in the commissions scheme is the reduc-
ton of the Mayors term from four years 10 two.
II is obvious that intelligent citizens of the best
character differ widely as 10 the wisdom of that
return 10 the former practice. The revisers con-
sidered the question with particular care, be-
came firmly convinced that the four years term
should be retained and disappointed at
finding themselves overruled by the legislature.
At the same time they admit that there is much
10 be said on the other side. whereas some
| superheated critics are talking as if the reduc-
| tiOn of the term were an absolute proof of i'm
becility or. more probably. of treachery. If
| Tammany should be overthrOwn next fall and
| first rate man elected Mayor his supporters
| would be sorry that he WAS not in for four
| years. If Tammany should win again. most of
those who are now complaining would be glad
| that he was in for only two years. Nor do we
| think that there Is as much force as some per
| sons sincerely assign 10 it in the argument
| that n new Mayor needs almost two years 10
master his duties. Without going at length
into the question. il is a suggestive and crafty
ing reflection that the present Governor of this
| State did not require two years 10 learn how TO
| serve the people in his great office. The right
sort of man would become the right sort Of
Mayor without much delay.

CHARTER CHANGES.

The Charter Revision Commission has been
generally credited with the accomplishment Of
an excellent piece Of work under difficult condi-
tions ever since its report appeared last Decem-
Der, and now the legislature gives practical ex-
preston 10 the prevailing opinion by adopting,
with few important changes. the commission :

ments did, indeed. originate in one branch or the
other and ultimately pass both branches with
out receiving careful consideration, and some
of them may prove 10 be mischieyous in effect
II not by intention. We have noticed several
having that appearance, and may find occasion
20 show why they are objectionable hereafter.
But Senator Stranahan is justified in saying
that the changes in the scheme Of revision are
for the most part superficial. and probably they
are also for the most part comparatively harm
less. If not positively beneficial. Nevertheless,

there is no reason 10 doubt that if a fragrant

The general design Of the charter revisers
was 10 concentrate power and responsibility,
and the legislature has done little nothing
of an opposite character. II has. indeed. in

THE CHOICE Of A GOOD MAIZE.

Constitution fought against England. country
against which no American ship will ever fight

NOT so OLD As HE THINKS HE is.

In a suburban almshouse not far from the City
Hall Of Manhattan Il paaper of faltering breath
feebly declares that he is hundred and
twenty nine years old. There is not the slightest
shred of evidence to support his senile delusion.
His age is not much above ninety. the medical
experts believe. But with that inexhaustible
good nature and easy acceptance of any ones
claims which are so characteristic OF the aver
age householder in our suburban villages this
mans unfounded notion that he was born before
the Declaration Of Independence has OBJ
tanned Insignificant number of supporters.
1t is safe TO say. and it is the general opinion
of the ablest physicians in every civilized coun-
try. that there is not now in existence anywhere
a human being who was born before the out
break Of the French Revolution. About few
things is there much nonsense uttered and

fact that they make themselves ridiculous when
they try to stir up such a fuss over the appear
ance of a magazine article. which is not nearly
so direct and forcible in its exposures and ale
cations as many an arraignment which has been
set forth in the principal daily newspapers of
New-York? This magazine satirist has written
nothing more severe and denunciatory than the
censures and reproacheS which have been
heaped upon police blackmailers and bribetak-

NUNSkLLLS AMONG NIMROnS

Maine for many n year has attracted to its
forests and rivers large numbers of the enthu-
slasts who enjoy sport of the choicest kind with
rifle and fishing rod. The successive legislatures
of the Pine Tree State have as a rule shown
themselves prudent and sagacous In the laws
adopted for the guidance and regulation of the
campaigns of the hunters and anglers who
have travelled from near and from far to take
advantage of the abundant opportunities for
adventure and high class sportsmanship in that
fascinating region III which New England so
justly takes unstnted pride. The game laws
of Maine have been prepared with such in
telligence and care and have been enforced so
thoroughly that the charms OF hunting and
fishing in the State have been constantly in
creased.
But it cannot be denied that 4 considerable
percentage of the men who have gone into the
Maine forest; in pursuit of game have been
too careless in the handling of their rifles and
too reckless in taking the risks of chance shots
at moving objects when they were not sure that
the creature at which they fired were moose
or deer or other wild animal. In Maine. as in
the Adirondacks, there too many excItable,
impetuous persons who shoot when they think
they something TO kill and too often they
MAIN or injure hapless human victims 1t is
only by the exaction of exemplary penalties in
such cases that proper caution can he taught

reckless. The list of deplOrable accidents due
