Advices received at the War depart ment from Colonel Scott, who is acting In the absence of General Wood, mli- fary governor of Cuba, are that the Secretary of State and government of Cuba is preparing a statement showing the probable effect upon the Cuban gov- ernment of the proposed system of universal suffrage. The statement Is not yet completed, but it is said that 1t will show that with universal suffrage 32O,051 persons will have the right to vote. Of this number 17730S cannot read or write. Of the illiterates the statement will show that 96,9S7 are white Cubans and SO,321 colored. It is evident from the remarks made in the letter to the War department from Col onel Scott that universal suffrage is not receiving the favor of the better think Ing class of Cubans. Several of the prominent residents of Havana have openly opposed the idea.

Saws the Catholic Citizen.

1t ought to be otherwise. Catholics
can do themselves good by getting into
a larger atmosphere. They can do the
church good by leavening dozen secu-
lar organizations with their presence and
influence The social and neighborly feel
inc engendered, will count for liberality
and against bigOtry. People who 90
apart and move in their own exclusive
circle lose the social sympathy and good
will of the community.
1t is possible that our minds may run
too much in a Sectarian groove: that we
NAV be disposed to classify everything
with reference to its relation to Catholic
ity. This is an opposite extreme to in
differentiSm; but nevertheless it is an
extreme. 1t is bias of the mind, the
reverse of judicial; and it does no good
in our perception of things. In actual
life it may confine us to friendships that
are not elevating and deny us friendships
that are elevating. In politics it may
lead us to support man for nominal
creed against a ticket representing good
principles. In literature, it may lead us
to prefer the light of the tallOw candle
to the glorious 1efulgence of a MONDAY
sun.
We fear that Catholics sometimes give
their Protestant brethren an impression
of narrownesS and want of charity by
propoundng the sectarian inquiry il

Arbor Day Proclamation.

The custom of tree planting and the
preservation of the woods on lands not
suitable for other agricultural use ought
to be fostered in every way. Where the
matter has been given any attention
many believe that the time is ripe for in.
dividual public spirit and legislative ac.
ton to unite and prevent the further in
discriminate destruction of our forests
There are other uses for trees than sawed
lumber and pulp wood.
If the present commercial turn of minC
is long continued, the day is fast ap
preaching in this state, when it will be
all poetry and no truth to say:
''This is the forest primevai. The muir
ing pines and the hemlOcks
Bearded with moss, and in garments
green, indistinct in the twilight,
Stand like the druids of eld''
Therefore, to keep the subject of tree
culture and forest preservation before
the people, both in theory and practice,
Friday, the third day of May next, is
designated as Arbor day. And on that
day where the appeal to the woodman
has not been needed, let two saplings be
planted in it's room, and let every one,
old and young, contribute in some
measure towards the setting of shade
trees by homestead and roadside.

The Meter the Only Solution.

How to secure water enough to supply
the needs of the large cities and villages,
and some not so large, is problem of
increasing seriousness with engineers
everywhere. The superintendent of the
water bureau Of Albany n. Y, has col
lected and made public some interesting
statistics.
Statistics were collected from over 100
of the principal cities in the country and
the information obtained was carefully
tabulated and classified. The results
show that while the average consumD-
ton of water in the cities in question is
137 gallons per capita per day, the con-
sumption is very much less where meters
are used than where they are not. Thus.
where less than 10 per cent of the taps
were metered the per capita consump-
ton was found to be 1913 gallons daily:
where from 10 to % per cent were me-
| tered the per capita consumption fell
to 10 gallons a day; where from 25 to
| 80 per cent of the taps were metered it
fell to 1O4 gallons a day and where more
| than 80 per cent were metered it was
only 62 gallons per capita per day. The
superintendent says that the average
per capita consumption is twice as
great as it should reasonably be, and
that cities which are now in distress
from danger of a water famine, and are
consequently in search of additional sup
plies, can by applying proper methods OF
conservation to their present supplies.
more quickly and cheaply relieve them.
selves from their distresses, and by SC
doing have an abundant and ADEQUATE
supply of water for twice as MANY ipbal

There can be little doubt that if ever,

Bellows Falls, for example, had to pay
meter rates not over one-half as mucl
water would be used as at present.

Observance of Pre.Memorial Day.

The laws of Vermont require that "the
last half davis session of the public
schools before Memorial day shall be de-
voted to exercises commemorative of the
history of this nation during the war Of
the rebellion and to patriotic instruction
in the principles of liberty and the equal
rightS of man" Teachers and school of-
flcers are reminded of the near approach
of Pre- Memorial day and urged to begin
arrangements for its appropriate OH
servance. In the fitting commemoation
of heroic lives and in the worthy consid-
Grafton of noble thoughts this day offers
an invaluable opportunity to enkindIe
high and patriotic sentiments in the
hearts of our children and to contribute
a potent influence for better citizenship,
The state superintendent of education
will soon issue a circular with SuggeS-
tions for the observance of this day. The
union of schools in such observance is
heartily commended.
The observance has become an impor-
tant one in the schools of the state. 1t is

parents and citizens should all unite in
keeping green the memory of men and
events connected with the republics
darkest hours of peril. We join with the
