in setting aside ten million dollars

shown the good Judgment which has

life.
The problem of education is per-

America, than most Americans real

the great majority of the people of
this country, numerically speaking,
are educating their children much bet

Gated. OF course, this is not true of
the more intelligent classes, who for
the most part inspire and control ma
tional thought; but il is true of the
people as a whole. The consequence
Of this is that in many of our cities

street Car Ethics in vienna.

The tram cars in Vienna are small and
dingy. and. like everything else. are con
troIled by the Government. writes CORE
spondent in the New York Times II
you infringe upon the law, however
slightly. you find the good right hand OF
Franz Joseph clutching you by the neck.
AS an instance. the windows Of the cars
can only be opened on one side; there is
a law to that effect. as the Austrians
regard draft even in midsummer as
something deadly. The passenger must
also see to it that his fare is paid the
duty is not on the conductor at all.
Should he happen to pass you by. you
must keep your eye upon him, as the Gov
errment inspector is liable TO jump on the
ear at any moment, and ii yeu have no
ticket showing that you have paid. you
are arrested then and there. Another
thing. you are allowed TO jump oil and
on a horse car. but If you do the same
thing in the case Of an electric car you
are arrested.

Cause for Alarm.

English shipowners are frightened.
The American ship subsidy bill wor-
ries them. In fact, they wish it to be
understood that they are boldly OPP
posed TO the measure.
1t is significant that our over-water
kinsmen should become aroused by
Senator Frye's proposition. II is pre-
liminary proof that the measure will
bring about the restoration of the
American merchant marine. But,
with all due respect for the feelings
of our friends, that is Just what is in
tended.
The American flag has been too
scarce on the sea 10 suit the Ameri-
can people. There is plenty of Amer
lean business for new ships owned by
the sons of Uncle Sam. of course, it
viii crowd out foreign tonnage, but
that is one of the fortunes of com
mercial competition. international
trade nowadays is not operated on
the charity organization plan.
\ merchant marine viii be another
link in the lengthening chain of
American prosperity. Besides. il will
furnish nucleus for an auxiliary
navy in the event of serious misun-
derstanding with another Power. II
will give the nation its proper place
in salt water traffic. and ii will be as
gratifying to our spirit of enterprise
as it is distasteful to our rivals. who
win doubtless regard il as another
phase of the hateful american in
vasion."

PInNing with TIre.

The inference To be drawn from the
silence of the Bulgarian brigands is
that they are not running a bargain
counter in ransoms. II is unfortu-
nate that their impudent demand can
not be answered with cold lead. but.
for decency's sake and the safety of
the unfortunate missionary, they
must. Of course, be conciliated and
satisfied.
If Bulgaria doesn't take hitch in
its morals, however, and pay some at
tention to the safety of foreigners.
that country win get into severe
miX-up one of these days, and there
will be plenty of ammunition back of
the fireworks.

A Credit to Washington.

With the ewes of the President of
the United States and a large share
of the people of Washington upon
them. the policemen and firemen of
the Capital yesterday passed in an
nual review.
They made brave showing. Every
inch of uniform and every piece of
apparatus demonstrated that the ut
most care had been taken. The pro
cession was attractively arranged and
the marching of a high order.
Owing to the hazard of their occu-
pations and the fidelity of their ser
vice. the bluecoats and the fire fight
ers deserve much of the people. Ever
ready to risk their lives as matter
of duty. they stand out conspicuouslY
as an element in the public employ
whose office cannot be dismissed
from consideration after the payment
of stated salary.
Everything should he done to make
them comfortable. The departments
should have n sufficient number of
men TO permit n reasonable division
of labor as well as TO make them
most effective. The police guardians
especially need more help, and have
needed il for long time. Many of
the men are compelled through lack
of numbers on the force to do more
patrol work than they should be
called upon to perform.
Both in the service and out, the SER
against crime and fire deserve the
highest rewards that the people can
bestow.

PROTEST DISMISSED.
BOARD of Classification without
Right to Review Thrift Case.

Lee Toma an importer. OF New York
City appealed from the decision Of the
collector of customs at Honolulu as to the
rate and amount Of duties charged on
fifteen cases of Manila cigars. which were
imported into the port of Honolulu from
the Philippine Islands on September 8,
1901.
The goods were assessed for duty at the
rate of $3.50 per pound and 25 per cent ad
valorem. under paragraph 217 of the Ding
ley tariff act OF 1897 The claim made in
the protest Is that the cigars are the
product of the Philippine Islands. and that
these islands constitute a part Of tine
United States, and these cigars are there
fore not liable to duty as merchandise
imported from a foreign country.
The Board of Classification of United
States General Appraisers dismissed the
protest for want OF Jurisdiction, basing
their action on the decision OF the Su-
preme Court of the United States, which
decided that the board had no Jurisdiction
over protests involving these questions.

Two of the most noted men in Ken

presence is highly appreciated by the en-
tire bluegrass contingent of the Capital
is bu; stating a fact. Col Jack Chinn and
Capt. Eph Lillard have been friends from
boyhood. and as the years go by the fra
ternal feeling between them grows more
intense Colonel Chinn. as the world
knows is a dear lover of horsefesh, and
his turf career is historic. He has owned
some of the swiftest thoroughbreds In
America such as Ban Fox. Leonatus. and
Lissak, and his judgment in equine mat
tiers is unerring. Captain Lillard is war
den OF the State penitentiary. and is a
wheelhorse in politics on the Democratic
side. He and Colonel Chinn enjoyed the
confidence of Hon. William Goebel In a
high degree, and were walking by his side
when he was hit by the assassin's bullet.

II is estimated that at least 10000 per
sons were present at the different meet

men as rule were morally and physically
greatly superior to those who attended
the meetings of the unemployed in 1893.
Their quiet bearing showed that they had
not lost hope. while the good clothing
worn by most OF them proved them to

Mixed Alabama Politics.

The presence at the Ebbitt Of United
States District Attorney William Vaughan,
of Birmingham. and Hon. Oscar Hundley.
of Huntsville. is another development of
the queer political situation in Alabama.
In other words. the Alabama plot thick
ems. Mr. Vaughan is State chairman as
well as district attorney. and he has come
to Washington to thwart the efforts of his
enemies, who are bent on beating mis- re-
appointment MIR. HuDdley used to be a
Democrat, and in those days as State
Senator was regarded as a rising man
who had a brilliant future ahead. He
went over to the Republicans on the free
silver issue and is probably still classed
as belonging TO that party. He is striving
hard to get the office which Mr.. Vaughan
holds. and has considerable backing. The
Alabama men heard OF the arrival of ex-
Governor Oates in the city yesterday and
are specializing as to which one of the
Republican factions he has come to help
or whether his visit has any significance.
