giddiness compels;
How they giggle. giggle, giggle,

How their victims squirm and wriggle

When with ghoulish glee they gloat
On the squirming OF a fellow when they
have him by the throat.

OF communication with the latter
Islands, over which It has virtual con-
troll. II can now communicate by cable
with Manila, but not at a minimum of
delay or of cost. In the years to come
there will be growing need Of cable
lines across the Pacific. Manila Is des-
tined to be center of the governments
interest for long period. No more
time should be lost, therefore, In pro-
viding, by public or private enterprise.
a line over which the government can
on any occasion exercise control. Such
a line Is insured by the contract just
signed by the administration. 1t prom
ises construction in the shortest pos
sible period. To reject 1t and to re-
fuse to supplant 1t with an appropria-
tion permitting the immediate laying
of government line would be for con-
gress to adopt an utterly indefenslble
attitude, against every dictate of pub

~ UBJECT to the approval Of
congress, the administration
has just entered into con-
tract for the laying of the
long delayed Pacific cable, the lack of
which greatly hampered the govern
ment in its prosecution of the war with
Spain. The terms upon which the
cable is to be laid under this contract
provide for ultimate government own
ership If the people so desire. They
are perhaps the best that any govern
ment has ever obtained from private
enterprise of this nature. Usually the
cable layers ask for subsidies i'm aid of
their works. In this case the cable
company asks merely for the right to
make landings and for the use of the
government soundings, which. If dupli-
Gated by the company, will waste an
other year in preparations and will
therefore cost the government, it is
estima ted, fully 100000 in extra cable
tolls while awaiting the completion OF
the line
In view of the refusal of congress to
pass the Corliss Pacific cable bill, or
any other similar measure, says the
Washington Star, there is need for
some such action AS this to put the
cable question on the basis of greatest
promise. The need is urgent. That it
Ia less urgent today than ten years ago,
when the Hawaiians revolted from the
rule of 'Liliuokalan, and four years
ago, when this government was en-
gagged in war with foreign power,
does not diminish the requirement for
the line of communication. The fact
that Hawaii, in 1898 foreign territory
changing it's form of government and
asking for admission into the Union,
and In 1898 precious stra legic point
. In the mid-oeean willing to be used as
such by the United States. has since
become American territory and has
presumably passed its gravest crisis,
does not guarantee that 1t will not be
again as necessary as In those years
. for the government to be in electric

Z First, that cables are today an essen

~HIcAGo is agitated over the
recent discovery that about
~ two hundred teachers in the
public schols of that city have
not been naturalized. Naturally the
citizens are seized with CONSERVATION
at the knowledge that they are paying
men and women who are still subjects
of foreign government to teach their
little children the first principles of
patriotism and the history of the be-
ginning of the republic. They are even
more grieved to learn that many of
these teachers object strenuously to
becoming naturalized; such an order
having been peremptorily issued.
1t is rather a remarkable state Of
affairs, indeed, that teachers who are
foreign born should draw their pay
from the American school system and
yet have little enough interest in the
home of their adoption to own allegi-
ence to its government. Under the con-
stitution of Illinois no unnaturalized
person can draw salary from any off,
cial institution of the state. This fact
was the means of inducing number
of the foreign born teachers to take
out naturalization papers, and the eth
les or the principles involved in the
case had little to do with their sudden
decision. That there is much laxity in
such matters is probable all over the
country and it would be interesting to
record the results of investigation re-
garding similar conditions. In Chicago
the majority of unnaturalized teachers
were Germans. Irish and Canadians.

An Unfortunate Expedient.

They are telling good story at the
University settlement, In Eldridge street,
of the hard luck that attended the at
tempt of reporter for a sensational pa
per to get story. The reporter who
had carefully read up the Settlement year
book. appeared one day in the head
workers office and began to question the
man he found in charge. Finding that
he was not getting along very we'll, after
several attempts to get the desired infor-
nation by direct appeal, the reporter
tried new tack.
II think you had better tell me the
story" said he, You see, Mayor Low $
secretary, Jimmie Reynolds is Il friend
of mine In fact. he and l are great
friends, and | am sure that Jimmie
would want me to have the story

A Detective by Inheritance.

He had made up his mind that he want
ed to be q detective. He had had year
in the high school, in which he had not
distinguished himself in a way to war;
rant studying further for the ministry.
In the meantime he had read sherlock
Holmes and several other books Of a
like character and they had touched such
a responsive chord in his nature that he
had decided that he was peculiarly fitted
for the career of detective. He did not
intend to stick to it his whole life, OF
course.
New York city, he thought. offered the
best field for his latent genius, and ac-
cordingly he availed himself of an eXcur-
sion to the metropolis. and called at the
office of a prominent detective agency.
Have you had any eXperience?' asked
the head of the concern, as he looked at
the young man out of pair of deep set
eyes. which were so overshadowed by
heavy eyelashes as to be almost wholly
hidden from view.

ply. II am willing to start in with shad-
owing and then work up to murder

brows as the detective asked:
