CATCHING CICADAS.
How Certain MaIays Obtain a Curl
Gus Delicacy.


Certain natives of the Malay peninsu-
la catch cicadas and eat them and that
as o considerable luxury. To eat ci-
cada seems distinctly curious, says the
London Daily Mail, when we reflect
that this insect is in reality a glorified
member of that insect group which
contains as its most prominent repre-
sentative the diminutive and swarthy
creature which shall be nameless here
for evermore.
The way in which the Siamese pro-
ceeds was related to the Geological So
ciety the other day by a naturalist who
has spent some time in the Malay pen
insula observing men as well as In
sects. At night, when these insects fly
the native sallies forth armed with a
torch and but little raiment. The torch
Is deposited in convenient place, and
the swarm of natives proceed to clap
their hands in a perfectly regular fash
ion so as to produce considerable
sound.
1t is the combination of light and
sound that allures the cicada from its
haunts to its destruction. The insects
come also i'm swarms and settle upon
the bodies of the applauding natives,
whence they are easily detached, pre-
served. cooked and eaten.
The Greek sage remarked that happy
are the cicadas in that they have voice
less wives. 1t is apparently the lady
cicadas who are attracted by what
they fondly believe to be the love cry
of the male and are thus lured to their
fate by that most dangerous of pas

ECOyOuY OR EXTR4vAG4ycEp

The process of raising municipal salaries goes
on week after week in a manner fairly salts
factory, no doubt, to its beneficiarieS. but
perating TO the community. The budget for
this year so enormous that the Tammany
administration thought il advisable TO attempt
an explanation Of its magnitude and of the
large increase which il revealed in the cost of
local government. The various excuses thus
offered far from satisfactory, but at least
they seemed TO show some disquetude on the
part of the Mayor and his advisers. Yet there
is not now, any more than there has been here
tofOre. the slightest sign of purpose or even
an inclination. 10 cut down the regular expenses
of the municipality and put the management of
its affairs on an economical basis When the
question of an appropriation for some indiS-
pensable object, like the schools, for example
comes before the Board of Estimate poverty is
always pleaded. but there is money enough to
meet the demands of every placeholder with
pull
We have repeatedly suggested that the vari-
Gus organizations which are planning to unite
their forces against Tammany in the coming
campaign would do we'll 10 refrain for the pres
ent from advocating particular policies of ad-
ministration as to which honest opinions might
differ widely. and insist only on the simple
proposition that the affairs Of the city must he
conducted solely for the advantage of its in
habitants. We are sure that this Is wise rule
of action under existing circumstances. and
the fact that il has been generally and closely
adhered 10 is full of encouragement But there
is one special point which it could certainly do
no harm 10 emphasize In every declaration of
the fundamental conditions of good municipal
government, and that is the neel of systema tic
economy. To he sure, that is implied in the de-
mand that the city shall be governed for the
benefit of the people but we believe that in
the present temper of the public an explicit
avowal of the principle would be welcomed by
all TO whom the appeal against Tammany can

TRANSPORTATION.

Police Commissioner Murphy yesterday an
nounced that he was considering favorably the
patrolmen's petition for the establishment Of a
three platoon system. He had been studying
the question. thought ii would increase the eff
cheney OF the force and the extra cost of the
system would he small. This is discovery on
the part of Mr. Murphy which awakens curl
osity Last March somebody injected into the
charter then pending before the legislature a
provision for the three platoon system but the
people of Ncw-York and the city officials de
nOunced the scheme as outrageous and pro
tested so vigorously that the section was elimi-
mated from the measure. While the subject
was then under discussion Commissioner Muir
ply. on March 80. made statement in oppOsi-
ton 10 the plan and said II would make neces-
sary an increase of at least Zoo in the police
force and would add about four million dollars
10 the annual expense of the department for
salaries not counting the larger outlay which
would be required later for police pensions for
the enlarged force.
Now. just how system which NJ the end Of
March would cost S4.0o0.Oo0 can at the begin
ming of June be introduced at small expense is
mystery which Mr. Murphy ought TO explain.
We shall not attempt 10 explain it for him, but

been reported that certain policemen have been
trying to get back the sums they contributed

The determination Of the administration TO
make no change in it's Philippine tariff policy
pending the decision of the Pepke case by the
Supreme Court is entirely proper Such a
course is dictated not merely by convenience
but also by considerations of courtesy TO the
justices. The question is before the court as
IL has been for some months. The status Of
the case is now not AZ all different from what
IL was on the day of submission. If anything

QUICK RECOVERY or STOCKS.

No better evidence of the strong position Of
business in this country could he desired than
the triiing setback from the recent severe col
lapse of the stock market and the rapidity with
which railway securities have regained the lost
ground. Immediately after the continuance of
wise legislation assured by the reelection

of stocks began to rise and gradually specula-
tive interest awakened in all parts of the
country and among all classes of people Money
flowed to this city for investment while buying
