CURRENT COMMENT.

The Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union
and Citizen, Dem.) says: I'm few
days Cuba will be free and will be able
to join the other Spanish American
nations in their merry round of revo-
luuons"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says:
"Cne of the anomalies of hereditary
legislators was shown in the House
Of Lords the other day when a divorce
bill was introduced by an eX-convict
who had not long before completed a
sentence for bigamy. The idea of con-
victs attempting to make laws permit
ting their special offenses against So
ciety is eminently in place in comic
opera, but hardly in sober fact"
The Philadelphia Times (Dem.) says:
IF our generals and admirals. as in
England, could sit in the national leg
islature while retaining their rank in
the army and navy. there would be
some frank expressions of opinion on
their part which the President. even
in his capacity of commander chief.
could not rebuke. Lord Charles Beres-
ford's presence In Parliament proves
how useful this practice may be. The
government is receiving from his lips
SOME WHOlNSOIue truths dDOul ltSeH,
and that is what a government often
most needs to hear"
The Charleston Is. C.) Post (Dem.)
says: The indications are that there
will be two wandering bands of candi-
dates for political offices this summer
in South Carolina. There is no reason
for this at all but Tillman has recon-
mended il and the great Democratic
party is afraid of the boss and bully
who has run 1t for the past twelve
years and probably will adopt the plan
simply because of its source. Per-
haps one trial OF II will disgust the
people so thoroughly with all this
travelling campaign circus business
that they viii abolish the whole thing.
IL we could feel sure Of such re-
sut we would advocate Tillman's
double ring circus"

The movement against mosquitoes,
which Is favored by the health officer
some Of the leading physicians and
scientists ought to have the encour-
agement of the city authorities. A
war on mosquitoes, with kerosene as
the ammunition. may be productive Of
excellent results.
There is no doubt of course that kerr
osene. when placed in the breeding
places of the mosquito, destroys the
larvae of that pest. The only question
is whether a sufficient number of the
breeding places can be reached with
kerosene to make the,war effective. If
the plan suggested. however, is fol-
lowed all through the summer we do
not see why there should not be a
noticeable decrease in the usual num-
Der of mosquitoes.
1t is pretty we'll settled that mos
quitoes are responsible, to a very con-
siderable extent, for malariaI fever,
and also for yellow fever. OF course
all species of mosquitoes do not carry
fever poison. In fact, it is the under
standing that there is only one species
that is dangerous to health. How
numerous this species is in this vicin-
ity it is of course impossible to say.
Doubtless there are some malarial
bearing mosquitoes here, and in order
to destroy them it is necessary to make
war on all of the species. The pur-
pose however, is to get rid of all mos
quitoes to as great an extent as pos
sible
AS matter of fact Savannah is not
troubled with mosquitoes as much now
as when the lands around the city
were undrained. 1t would not be at all
surprising if the catch basins and lit
tie wet spots, caused by open faucets
on premises, were responsible for most
of the mosquitoes with which Savan-
times when the wind carries swarms
of them into the city from distant
marshes and swamps, but they soon
disappear. If it be true that the steady
supply comes from the sources indi-
Gates a continuous use of kerosene
throughout the summer will doubtless
greatly aid in Kidding the city of an an
noying and dangerous pest.
AS far as we are able to see there
need be but little expense attached to
the distribution of the kerosene. 1t
can be distributed by policemen on
their beats or by the health inspectors.
The latter probably would be the prop

There may be citizens in Deadwood
who remember Buck Joseph" said the
man with the taper fingers. as he per-
mitted smile to Turk around the cor
ners of his mouth, says the Detroit
Free Press. Buck was a fulblooded
Sioux Indian, but he had learned a
thing or two, in mis- time. One of 'em
was how to play porker, and another
was how to hold the best hand. He
was early on the ground at Deadwood,
and he was a winner from the start.
There We're some pretty slick gamb-
lers hanging out there in the old days.
They believed a good deal in luck, but
a good deal more in lingering the cards.
None of them had Buck Joseph's
sleight-of-hand, however. They tried
him on time and again, and they work.
ed all the arts known TO the profession,
but he was still ahead of the game.
As a last resort they sent over to
Abilene, Kans., for me. I'm not going
to say what / was doing over there
but the boys who knew me best was
ready to bet to that I downed Buck
at his own game.
When 1 reached Deadwood," con-
tinued the narrator, Il had $500 in cash
with me. Old Lo came up smiling with
an equal amount, and we sat down for
an all-day tea party. l started out as
square as a dot, depending on luck
alone, and had lost $500 before 1 made
change. Then I went in for nothing
less than fiushes, and inside of an
hour l got my money back. Buck knew
l was beating him at his own game,
and he laid for me. On one of his deals
he got four aces and l knew it. 1 got
king, queen and jack of diamonds, and
it was $40 to come in.
Il drew a long breath and Clipped
and drew two cards to his one. My
heart thumped as l found a ten and
nine of diamonds in my hand-a
straight flush. OF course, Buck knew
there was only one hand higher than
his, and he came for me with bets of
$50 He had friends to borrow from
and so had 1, and when he finally
called me we had $4,000 in cash on the
table, and he had three ponies, two
squaws and five proposes up against
my watch and pin. He was getting
ready to yell when I showed my hand.
His yell died away. and he sat there
like stone man for five long minutes.
Then he slowly rose up, gathered his
blanket around him, and as he walked
out of the place he said:
Humph! Heap smart white mani

It is the impression that the Bank
ers~ Associations, at their present
meeting in Kansas City will discuss at
considerable length the question of
branch banks. This question is being
pressed upon the attention OF the bust
ness men of this country with con-
siderable force and persistency.
II must be admitted that there is
Inuch to be said in favor Of the branch
bank system. 1t is pointed out that
EngIand's commercial supremacy is
due largely to it, and it is a fact that
it answers admirably in Canada and
Australia
Our banking system is far from
satisfactory for the reason that we
have a currency that lacks elasticity.
and also because there is no sufficient
safeguard against financial panics. 1t
is argued that under the branch bank
system both of these objections would
be Obviated.
It is the impression among bankers
that the Bankers AssOcia lions will
take position against the
branch system, mainly because it is
feared that it would be productive of
opposition to banks Just why it
should. if it were to prove better for
the country than the present system, is
not altogether apparent. Still, there
are popular prejudices something's
which do not appear to be based upon
good reasons. It is fact that there is
considerable feeling against national
banks. and in presidential campaigns
the statement is made quite often from
the stump that they own the govern
ment.
1t is evident to all bankers that the
system which We now have is not the
best by any means, but it is going to
take a long time to change it. The
disposition is to let things run along as
they are for fear that If an effort were
made in the direction of improvement
a worse condition of affairs might be
the result. Nevertheless some of these
days there will be a radical change in
our system of banking, and then every
body will wonder why it was not made
sooner.

DR.. Felix Adler accompanied the
Robert c. Ogden party OF educators on
their recent tour in the South. DR..
Adler was much impressed by what he
saw and learned In New York the
other night, speaking OF the trip and
the subject of education in the South,
he said in part: Il was also impressed
with a sense of the damage the North
has done by injudicious interference
by a partly laundering and partly
culpable reconstruction, which gave
the ex-slave rights he could not use,
and set him on the level of his former
master, doing infinite harm by encour-
aging aims and ambitions which serve
only to direct him from the direction
in which his only hope of ultimate
profit lies, the direction in which the
leaders of his race are striving and
which is the same goal in reality as
that towards which our own society
aims" Southern journals and people
have tried to impress the foregoing
facts upon the North for years and
years; but the North, and especially
New England, has arrogated to itself
the sum of human knowledge, and re-
fused to be convinced. 1t is worthy Of
note, however, that when Northern
men come South they quickly realize
the correctness of the Southern way
of thinking respecting the race ques-
ton. And in very many instances
they show much greater race antipathy
than is felt by the Southern native
white man. Julian Ralph tells in
recent issue of the New York Mail and
Express of a Northern man who, after
one weeks residence in South Caro-
lima, refused to ride on the same car
with a negro. And before leaving his
Northern home that man had, beyond
doubt, been vehement advocate of
equality.

SCHOOL BOOKS FOR THE PHILIP
PINES

matter that it might be we'll for
Congress to investigate is the amount
spent for school books for the Philip
pines the kind of books purchased and
whether anybody was paid a commits
sion for making a sale of them to the
government. A dispatch from New
Haven, Conn, states that Miss Belsita
Hull of that city. a graduate of Smith
College, who went to the Philippines as
a teacher, is writing some interesting
letters to her people respecting the
schools and matters connected with
them. 1t seems from what she says
that at the very beginning of the edu-
cational work among the Filipinos
$3.50, 900 was spent for school books, and
these were sent to half, probably, of
the towns of the archipelago. In the
opinion of Miss Hull, fully 100000 of
this money was practically thrown
away. 1t was spent for books which
cannot be used inside of ten years, If
so soon. She does not name the books.
but it is probable that they were such
as treat of higher mathematics, mental
and moral philosophy, etc.
Minister Taylor, who represented
this country in Liberia during Mr..
Cleveland's second term, used to tell on
his return home, how surprised he was
on visiting the schools of Liberia for
the first time-the schools established
by the missionaries-to find the negro
children, who had not been out of the
jungles long enough to get the scared
look out of their faces, studying Greek
and Latin text books. OF course, the
education they were getting was of no
benefit whatever. 1t was not possible
for them to get an understanding of
what they were studying, and if they
had learned to read and write Greek
and Latin they wouldn't have been
much better off than they would have
been if they had never seen the in
side of the missionary schools. What
they needed was information about
growing potatoes, bananas and other
things which would yield them a sup
ply of food or which were in demand
in the markets of the world.
1t would not be surprising If those
intrusted with the work of establish
ing a school system in the Philippines
modelled the schools upon the high
schools of New England. OF course,
there are Fiipinos who are well edu-
Gated and they expect their children to
be educated in schools suited to their
capacity, but the vast majority of the
Filipino children never saw the inside
of a school house or a school book, in
all probability. What they require to
begin with is, the sort of training to
be obtained in the lowest grade of a
primary school.
Miss Hull ought TO have sent a list
of the books purchased for these Phil
ippine schools. 1t would have been in
teresting reading. and might have sug-
gested that favored publishing houses
got rid of stocks of books that were
on hand at the time Webster
spelling book was a popular school
hook
