With appropriations running up to
s100, 1000, and the attempt of the special
committee to keep them down overruied
by the voters in town meeting, the Bar
Hsrbor Record again breaches the idea OF
a city charter on the ground that munich
pal affairs are getting too bulky for town
meeting to handle wisely. The Record
says:
cit must be apparent TO all thoughtful persons
that the time is fast fastening when 1t VIII be-
come necessary to break away from the old
fashioned town meeting ruts and adopt the
modern city methods.
alt Is easy for one to sit in open meeting and
see appropriation after appropriation made
without regard 10 the sum total involved, but to
those who pay the bills 1t becomes serious
matter. At present no one man, or set of men,
can he held responsible for such lavish outlay
of money. With city charter. having a mayor
and board of aldermen, responsibility for ex-
penditure would be fixed.
Two years or more ago the Record suggested
that 1t might be wise to adopt a city way Of
doing business. and the result of the last two
annual town meetings but strengthens that
impression"

The democratic senators presented
some ingenious arguments against the
bin for the protection of the President,
but number of them voted for it on
it's final passage. As to the general
purposes of the bill, the sentiment of
the Senate was unanimous and the
differences of opinion were all con-
fined to the methods to be adopted.
There is no likelihood that the bill
will meet with serious opposition in
the House, although some of the DEM
ocrats are preparing opposing
speeches designed to produce good
impressions among their constituents.

The past week in Congress has been
one of exceptional activity. Although
it has been characterized by no excep-
tionally sensational features, the leg
islation accomplished bears evidence
of continuous hard work in both
chambers and is matter of satisfac-
ton to the republican leaders. The
Senate has passed the ship subsidy
bill, the bill for the protection of the
President and the war revenue repeal
bill. The House devoted the week to
the consideration of the river and har-
Dor bill, and passed the same on Friday
evening, devoting itself to the consid-
Grafton of private bills on Saturday.

1t is far cry from the sunny skies and
orange-scented groves of southern Cali
fornia to rain-swept and freshet-stricken
eastern Maine, but the extremes were
broug bit close togethe this week by the
receipt at THE AMERICAN office of a
little package OF orange blossoms sent by
p. q. Wooster, of Pasadena, Cal. But
while orange groves are so far removed
from Maine, the ghost OF winter still
hovers near Pasadena, for Mr.. Wooster
writes: "while we make our rose and
violet bouquets and gather wild flowers
here in the valley, 1t seems as IL one
could almost reach forth a bend and pick
SNOWFALL from yonder mountain; for
beautiful snow comes half way down
the slope; and We feel its chilling in
fuence in under our waistcosts."

GREEN GOODS MEN,

Despite the repeated warnings sent
out by the postal authorities and =
United States secret service and the
many exposures of the swindle that
have been printed in the newspapers,
the green goods men who have their
headquarters in Greater New York and
the nearby New Jersey cities and
towns continue to do a thriving bust
ness. This is shown by the large num-
Der of letters received by the secret
service office and the chief postotiice
inspector from persons who have re-
ceiVed their circulars. 1t is believed
by the officials that but a small pro-
portion of the circulars sent out are
reported by the persons who receive
them, and yet there is not a mail re-
Ceived at either the pOstOttice depart
ment or at the secret service office that
does not have a bunch of green goods
circulars in it. One mail delivery at
the secret service office this morning
contained twelve of these circulars
They had all been mailed at Chicago
and had been addressed to persons in
nine different states.
Although the circulars were mailed
from Chicago, the secret service ofIl-
Gals are satisfied that the headqudr-
ters of the gang sending them out is in
Greater New York or near by in New
Jersey. This is indicated to them by
the fact that the persons to whom they
are sent are asked to telegraph to John
b. Clay, Vineland, n. j., if they wish
to enter into negotiations to obtain any
of the crisp bills which the circulars
represent as being absolutely like gem
uine paper money. In fact, the cIrcu-
lars declare that these bills are not
Counterfeits, but are duplicates" ac-
tually printed by the government,
which have been obtained by the per-
sons Offering them for sale. Under the
present laws it is practically impossible
for the authorities to break up this
swindle, and it is probable that Chief
Wilkie, of the secret service, will rec
ommend the enactment of very drastic
legislation directed especially to the
punishment of all persons having any
thing to do with Offering to sell alleged
limitations of United States currency
under whatever name it may be called.

INSURRECTION COST TEN PER
CENT OF ARMY.
Statistics Show No Surrenders or Re-
treats-Many Deaths by Drowning
During Action.

Major James Parker of the adiutant
generals office has compiled some in
terest ting statistics regarding the in
surreCtion in the Philippines. There
were 1851 engagements with the enemy
more or less serious, between February
4, 1899, the date of the battle of Manila
and April 30, 1902 fixed as the virtual
downfall of the insurrection. The
larger proportiontion of these fights
were attacks from ambush on the Anne
rican troops, or skirmishes, i'm which
only small detachments took part.
IN almost no case in these engage
ments," says Major Parker, did Ame-
rican troops surrender, or have to re-
treat, or have to leave their dead and
wounded in the possession of the enemy
Notwithstanding that in many cases the
percentage OF loss was high
The number Of troops that has been
transported to the Philippines and has
arrived there up to july 10 last was
Abs officers and 123,S03 men. The aver
age strength, taken from monthly re-
| turns for the period of the insurrection
was approximately 10000.
Major Parker summarizes the casual
ties of the American army as follows:
Killed or did of wounds, 60 officers and
1886 enlisted men; deaths from disease,
AZ officers and 1885 enlisted men;
deaths from accidents, 6 officers and 25'
enlisted men; suicide, 10 officers and ~
enlisted men; murdered 1 officer and 81
enlisted men; total deaths, 139 officers
and 4,016 enlisted men; wounded 1876
officers and 2,7O7' enlisted men, a total
of 1887 killed and wounded and deaths
other than by disease, 2S2 officers and
| 4, 1888 enlisted men. Total, 4,470.
A large proportion of the deaths by
drowning occurred in action or in ac-
tive operations against the enemy. Ma
jor Parker makes the percentage of
killed and wounded to the strength of
the army 81.

PLEA FOR BATH HOUSES

Readers of English fiction and even
of literature less ephemeral cannot fail
being struck by the frequent references
to the tub as If it were a peculiarly
British institution unknown to the rest
or mankind, in which English writer's
are so fond of indulging. The inference
of course, is that the English as a peo-
pie are cleaner than any other. An at
mOspheTe of Self-righteOusness enVelops
the assertion, as a rule, and leaves the
average traveller who remembers the
steam baths of the Russian peasants:
who has seen Filipino patiently go
with small wet cloth over his entire
body in case neither river not lake is
handy; who knows that 80 per cent OF
the population of Japan does not retire
for the night without previously under
going thorough cleansing in hot water
the average traveller who recalls all
this, and much more besides must
sometimes be puzzled to account for
this strange assumption of a virtue of
which it has truly been said that it s
next to gOdliness.
We too, as a nation are apt to fall
into the same error and Vaunt our SUI
periOr facilities for bathing and point
with pride to the princelV fortunes
amassed in this country by successful
plumbers as an evidence that our
tubs are finer and more numerous
than those of any other nation. Indeed
the joke constructed around the occa-
slonal bathtub of Continental Europe
and the gibes accompanying a descrip-
ton of the ceremonial which is sup
posed to attend it's use have from time
immemorial served To replenish the eX-
chequer of the newspaper paragrapher.
Yet it may be asserted, without the
slightest fear Of successful contradic-
ton, that in no civilized country has
less been done by municipalities or
through private agencies to supply te
poor with decent opportunities for
maintaining bodily cleanliness than in
