1t was interesting to have ex-Mayor
Anes of Minneapolis run down. and to
know what had become of him, but his
further punishment seems hardly worth
much effort or expenditure to accomplish.
From being the profligate robber-mayor OF
a large city-tlle man who laughed at
prosecution and defied pu1lishme ent-he
has come in two-years to be a broken
down refugee, prematurely aged. hiding in
a New Hampshire village, in the house Of
his wife's ministerial brother in law. He
has had his punishment, whether he goes
to prison or not. more brutal and dis
gusting scamp than Tweed, he has come
to an end not unlike Tweed's.r His case,
his present deplorabIe situation,. and his
prospects are commended to the consider
alton of Mr.. Addicks of Boston and Della
ware. Addicks is still bold and confident.
Justice has not got him on the run yet.
He still presses his attacks His money
still rolls out on Delaware, and debauched
voters in that little state record his will.
He has not yet been proved to be a Grim

a few months since AmeS of Minnea polls,

pretty thin under Addicks.t AS one thinks
of him there comes to mind the story Of
Ames after his indictment; the. story of a
man who had jumped his bail, riding all
night in a smoking car, his face gray. his
head sunk on his chest, and an unsmoked
cigar in his mouth. riding through the
night with staring eyes. without stirring
in his seat. There is an old dame that

INSIDE STORY OF A SURRENDER

This is the inside story of the sur
render, during the Spanish; war. of the
town of Coano, as given by Richard Hard
ing Davis, in Golfers Household number
for March, It? is written by the man to
whom the town surrendered. lmmediat tely
after the surrender this same man became
military governor of Coanlo. He held Of
flee for fully twenty minutes. :
Before beginning this story the reader
must forget all he may happen to know
Of this particular triumph of the Porto.
Rican expedition. He must forget that
the taking of Coamo has always been
credited to Major General James II. Will
son, who on that occasion commanded
Captain Anderson's battery, the Sixteenth
Pennsylvania, Troop G of Brooklyn and
the Second and Third Wisconsin volun-
teers, under General Ernst. He must for
get that in the records of the war depart
'nent all the praise, and it is of the high
est for this victory is bestowed upon
General Wilson and his 4O0G soldiers
Even the writer of this, when he cabed
an account of the event to his paper,
gave, with every one else the entire credit
to General Wilson. And ever since his
conscience has upbraided him. His only
claim for tolerance a a war correspondent
has been that he always has stuck to
the facts, and now he feels that in the
sacred cause of history his friendship and
of the civil, Philippine and Chinese wars,
must no longer stand in the way of his
duty as an accurate reporter. He no
longer can tell q lie. He must at last
own up that he himself captured Coamo
One of them spoke to me the few words
Of Spanish with which I had an acqua int
ance. He told me he was the alcalde. and
that he begged to surrender into my hands
the town of Coamo. I led him instantly
to one side. I was afraid that if I did not
take him up he would surrender it to Pa
get or to Jimmy. l bade him conduct me
to his official residence. He did so. and
gave me the key to the cartel. a staff of
office of gold and ebony, and the flag of
| the town which he had hidden behind
his writing desk 1t was a fine Spanish
flag with the coat of arms embroidered III
gold. decided that, with whatever else
l might part, that flag would always be
mine, that the chance of my again receiv-
ing the surrender Of a town of S, 900 peo-
pie was slender, and that this token
would be wrapped around me in my coffin
accordingly hid it in my poncho and
strapped 1t to my saddle. Then I an.

English, as my official interpreter, and

The bureau notes with alarm the tend

The Senate's Trick.

This sudden solicitude of the senate for
the constitutional rights of the house Is
touching. Of course. there is nothing
strange about the fact that this solicitude
came to the front with jump just when
the senate was in extra session and the
house could mot be consulted. s.,
The more the public reflects on this
tenderness of the senate at this late hour
for the sensitive feelings of the house. the
more it begins to look as if the beet sugar
and high protection senators had success,
dent. why, certainly, dear Mr.. Presi-
dent" they have said, "we shall be de-
lighted to approve the reciprocity treaty
with Cuba, and we. do ratify it, but un-
fortunately this is measure involving
revenue, and, we do not feel that we
should undertake to make such a treaty
law without the consent Of the house
Whereupon the senators wink the other
eye and reflect how they have taken the
wind out of the presidents special ses-
sion sails. Well, they have, so far as the
special session was made necessary by
the Cuban treaty. They have made a
| mock of the extra session on that score.
They have made it useless, by adding to
the treaty a proviso that it must be" ap-
proved by the :house-eight months hence.
What a good joke on the PRESIDENT. this
president who is concerned about honor
! in international relations, who thinks an
anicable understanding with the Cuban
| republic an important matter. Ha, ha,
and again ha, ha! 81
There is just one answer to this shabby
trick, which was probably: played with
| the connivance of the house leaders, and
that is to call an; extra session of the
| ffty-eighth congress-. in the fall if that
will do; if not, then soon. The country
can afford continuous extra sessions OF
congress between regular sessions if
necessary to instil into the minds of the
national lawmakers the necessity of act

not that the electric motor is likely to
drive out the steam locomotive altogether,
it is easy to see from the impressive group
ing of facts he has given US that the cleo
trio railway, SO adaptable to the needs of
the country and the city. SO flexible and
accomme ting, is bound to so along way
toward solving the problem of ofttranspor-
ttsa1ttion Of both freight and passengers, for
the shorter hauls at least. It is too much
to hope that the two kinds Of transporta-
ton will long remain under separate and
competitive ownership, as they largely
have up to this time, but SO long as they
do, the trolley is the herald of a new reign
of transportation competition right under
the eyes, of the greatest mergers. But in
any event 1t will tend to lower rates. AT
ter it has demonstrated the possibilities
of cheap transporta ton on profit paying
basis the future owner will not be able
to raise rates.

Can't Get Too Much Money.

Some of the banking magazines are call
ing attention to the act that while Amer
lean branch banks are forbidden by law,
there is nothing to prevent Canadian
branch banks from operating here. AS a
matter Of fact they do; the only surpris-
ing thing about it is that they haven't
more generally taken advantage of the
privilege. 1t would seem as if there We're
here golden opportunity for them. They
can practically escape taxation they do
not need to carry locally much of a re-
serve. and they can pay more for money
and lend it cheaper than their local COM
petitors who are bothered with reserves
and taxes. 1t is a wonder that some of
our AmericanA capitalists haven't got a
bank charter in Canada principally for the
purpose of . operating branches in the
United States. If the Canadians did not
require at home so much Of their own
banking CAPACITY, there can 1e little doubt
that there would be far more branches OF
Canadian banks in this country than there
really are.
In some quarters American bankers are
| to permit foreign Institutions to do what
they can rot. In the state of Washing.
ton there is legislation on foot looking tc
restrictions on the Canadian branch banks
that will put them on a footing of equal
ity with the local banks. While it is true
that it is not right to let the foreigner dc
what the native may not, it is not likely

United Stetes they will probably not fne
much to discourage them in the way o

The Coming of the Trolley.

In NIcCluerss Magazie for March Samuel
F. Moffett writes fasciratingly Of 1.-THE
War on the Locomotive So we'll does
he put the case Of the trolley lines that
one turns from the pages wondering how
long it will be before those massive loco
motives that so fascinate us to-day as the
very type of modern industrial power and
mans mastery of the forces of nature will
be sent to join the old stage coaches. At
present, except in passenger service and
to some small degree in freight, the troll
ley cars are feeders rather than competi-
tors of the steam railroads. But in certain
parts of the country they have become
serious competitors of the steam roads,
and seeing the possibility of competition,
the old roads have very generally opposed
the extension of the trolley lines whenever
they have crossed city limits.
But the rural trolley line fills long
felt want and it has gone on growing into
power in the land until to-day there are
10000 miles Of electric railways in the
United States with systems here and there
that reach up to several hundreds of miles
trio lines are just beginning ito feel their
oats They realize now what possibili-
ties there are before them. They are for
saking the country roads for their own
right Of ways, they are building tracks OF
the heaviest steel and rock ballast. and
they are introducing perfect systems OF
| management. In hauling local freight tc
| the satisfaction Of their patrons, they
much surpass the steam roads. The troll
| leys stop at the farmers door and take his
milk to town without red tape When he
wants to send his stock to market specia
cars are ready. In fact when he wants
anything the trolley tries to get it fol
him. The trolley hauls passengers anc

Manual Training as Mental Educa.
tion, :sss.

A favorite line of attack upon modern
school courses of study is that with their
new tangled art training and manual in
struction they are ceasing to be practical.
This criticism is curiously in conflict with
the facts, because there IS an immense
and growing demand for boys and young
men who know something that will enable
them to step into a trade or an occu-
patton without long training by the en-
ploycr. A boy who may get the rudi-
ments Of a skilled trade in the schools is
more practically Instructed than the boy
who can read and write and SPELL but
knows nothing about using his hands in
useful ways. In San Francisco they have
two schools that make trade teaching a
regular part of the education Of the boys
and girls who take them. They teach
trades but they teach them as manual
training education along with the common
studies.
In the San Francisco Merchants Asso-
citation Review, George A. Merrill, prin
cipal Of the two schools explains the
manual training idea" It is to develop
the brain through physical activity. It is
not mere training of hands and fingers
which is all that many good people see in
"fads,'' training that Of itself may not
be easily turned to practical application
Mr.. Merrill's remarks are worth quoting
in part:
It is a very common error, also, to as
sume that it (manual training) is intend
ed merely to educate the hand; it edu.
Gates the brain through the use of this
hand, or the feet, or through any othel
form Of physical action It is a training
not in. but by means of, or through the
agency Of, exercises selected here ane
there from various industrial pursuits; i
| is a matter of the acquisition Of intellec
| by means Of instruction In toolwork
| drawing. sewing, cookery, or any otlle
| handiwork.
No doubt more or less Of this sort o
discipline comes incidentally with a trade
! a skilled workman, for instance, is NOR,
! intelligent than an unskil1ed laborer. be
cause he gets a certain amount Of menta
/ training with his trade. But in the main
skill and rapidity of workmanship are at
! tanned by doing the same thing again an,

1t would be interesting to, know just
why, as a contemporary asserts, the effect
of the Tighe bill is to permit. changes of
charter at a general election by a ma
jority of all votes cast on that subject.
The bill provides that charter amend
ments must have three-tifths. of all the
votes cast at the election. This Is pre-
cisely, so far as the specified majority
goes. the provision of the home rule law
on this subject from the start. It might
also interest our contemporary to know
that the legislature of 1901 passed an act
providing for the submission of charters
at special as we'll as general elections. A
city is not compelled to go to the expense
of special election to adopt or change a
charter. It may do so If it wishes.
