Who buried the goat2 is the awful ques-
ton involving the sum Of one Thousand and
fifty pounds sterling claimed by the Mid
land Great Western Railway Company
against the County of,Roscommon in Ire
land. 1t appears that a wicked goat, not
having the fear Of GOD in his heart, and be-
ing actuated by the malign influences and
dark tricks Of the Devil attached himself
in some mysterious manner to a bogie
Wheel and deliberately and with malice
prepense crossed the track Of the Midland
Great Western Railway at a curve near one
Of the stations of that line, wrecking the
train. killing one man and injuring some
others.
Now the railroad company solemnly sues
the County Of Roscommon for malicious
mischief, manslaughter and murder. And
one thousand and fifty pounds sterling ia
the price Of all that. The company will
take no less. and the case must go before
the County Judge, to be duly recorded
among the causes celebres of Roscommon.
The company's case against the county has
only one horn missing. policeman found
the goat. Naturally! But the goat was
dead and was unicorn.
The body of the goat was turned over to

Municipal JOY.

The old miscellaneous collection OF
pennants, yacht signal flags, checker
boards, clothespoles, clotheslines, circus
ring pedestals and flying aces and four
spots on and around the fine old City
Hall has again reappeared.
1t ia a well-meant but incoherent eff
fort to indicate festive mood over the
completion of quarter Of thousand
years of municipal existence.
The display contributes to the cheer
fulness of the beholder, but not exactly
in the manner intended. Even that
supremacy decorative object, the Amer
lean flag, can lose some of its beautiful
dignity under the hands Of the too ex-
perienced upholsterer.
Where is the moral influence Of the
Municipal Art Commission, Of which
the Mayor is member? The super
visory functions of that board are de-
fined by the Greater New York Charter
as extending to structures of perma-
nent character intended for ornament
or commemoration. Technically, it may
be said that these variegated inten-
tons of ornament and commemora-
ton are not permanent. But the won
derful multi-colored exhibit that now
stretches from the City Hall to the
Post Office is at least permanent in
the impression it makes on sensitive

CUBA'S NEW LIFE.

While the congratulations 80 literally
extended to the island Of Cuba upon the
happy results Of her first year OF national
independence have legitimate basis, they
also present misleading tendency which
is unfortunate. This lies In enthusiastic
overstatement, and an impression Is left
on the public mind that Cuba Ia In much
better state than she really 10. The favor
able report Of her national finances does
not necessarily, and does not In reality In
this case, prove the general welfare OF the
island people.
So far as national finance is concerned.
Cuba's record for the year Is most cred
table There has been no retrogression
In administrative processes. The various
departments Of education, sanitation, pub
lie works and Justice have all been main
tanned upon a basis Of efficiency at least
equal to that OF the Government OF Inter-
vention. The cost Of that administration
in comparison with the American expendi-
ture offers matter Of decided interest.
Because Of the fact that. although q full
year has passed since the American with
drawal, we have not yet been furnished
with any statement Of accounts which 10
either Ineligible or which can be accepted
as authoritative, comparison can be essayed
only with such figures as are available.
The difficulty lies in total lack OF cor
respondence in the figures submitted by
the different del artments. Inasmuch as
the former Secretary Of the Treasury,
Senior Leopoldo Caucio, states in his Official
report that Gen. Wood had told him with
his own lips that there were no better &C
counts in the various branches OF the pub
lie administration than those rendered by
the Treasury Department, the figures sub
mitted by that office may be used for our
purpose here 1t should be said, however,
that between the figures given by that de-
partment as the total OF disbursements,
for the entire period Of the occupation,
and those given by Gen. Wood himself
there is discrepancy Of more than 50 ,ooo,-
600, Gen. Wood giving the lower figures.
Exhibit G of the report Of the Treasurer
has the following summary OF receipts and
disbursements by fiscal years:
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1903-05-25

by tho cost Of transportation to other
markets. To these there may be added
sentimental objection, which, neverthe-
less, mado strong appeal to the English
mind. In Canada an immigrant became
a Canadian, in Australia an Australian,
in New Zealand New Zealander, in the
United States an American. In South
Africa he became an Outlander. His
sense of nationality was lost. If he
termed himself an Afrikander, associa-
ton was implied with an element which
was at no time notably cordial and which
was sometimes distinctly hostile.
= Yet in the face OF these and other OBJ
stacles there stands, both in England
and among the English Of South Africa,
the firm conviction that the future Of the
country, it's domestic peace and its in
dustrial progress, can lie only in numer-
ical preponderanoe Of English settlers.
It is felt that to leave the country to
develop from the incongruous elements
now implanted there is to perpetuate
a national burden and cause of constant
irritation.
Schemes for the artificial stimulation
of emigration from the mother country
are many. Most of them are unsound
as economic principles, and all of them
are open to serious objections. State
aided emigration to one branch OF the
Empire encounters the protest from other
branches, equally DESTROYS of increasing
their population and presenting claims OF
far greater force and validity than South
Africa can. The establishment of dis
charged soldiers upon State lands, to
which they may obtain title upon easy
terms, has not proved successful.
TOMMY has had about all that he
wants of South Africa, and prefers to
60 "'ome.' Besides that is the fact
that only comparatively small number
Of TONNES are in any way fit or quail
fed for agricultural settlement.
Compared with England's problems in
South Africa, the problems Of the United
States with her insular possessions and
dependencies are as simple addition to
quadratic equations.

The Comm on Ground.

Mr.. NORMAN E. MACK of Buffalo, the
New York member of the Democratic
National Committee, remarks further
as follows, on the subject of a financial
plank in the next platform which shall
be satisfactory to all Democrats:
IF the National Convention were to be held
day the great point OF difference among the
Democratic forces would be the financial plank.
II is easy to that unless . common ground Is
northumberland one can be cstablished-tho same
win be true year from now"
But it is not so easy to see by what
formal or informal process the COM
mon ground can be established prior
to the actual meeting of the convention
Of next year. Open letters and replies
and reioinders between eminent Demo-
Gratis holding different views Of financial
policy do not seem likely to promote
the desirable unity of opinion which Mr..
MACK believes can be brought about be-
fore the convention. The premature
discussion of possible refinements and
articles of phraseology is quite as apt
to emphasize differences as to quiet
the same.
The possibility Of united action a year
and moro hence will depend less upon
any previously devised verbal formula
than upon the spirit actually prevailing
in the Democracy at the time Of the con-
vention; and that prevailing spirit, in its
turn, will depend upon conditions that
cannot now be foretold or foreseen with
certainty. The events of the next
twelve months. including probably an
extra session Of Congress as well a. the
regular one, the development of Demo-
cratic leadership on the eve OF the
Presidential campaign, and the acci-
dents Of politics and personality in va
rious quarters. will all combine to shape
the spirit in which the party meets to
hold its convention.
In the presence Of changed conditions,
new and perhaps overshadowing ques-
tons. and all-compelling hope of vic
tory, there is usually no difficulty in find
ing common ground as to an old issue
and often it happens that patient silence
is better preparation for that discovery
than prolonged and earnest discussion
beforehand.

Polo has found It's way into the list OF
college sports. There is a certain signifi-
canoe in this fact. Twenty years ago base
b II and football were the only sports prac-
tised extensively among the colleges. Row
ing was confined to few. Such an ex-
pensive and Improbable game as polo
would have been wholly out Of the question.
Now there are so many rich youths in the
universities that the maintenance OF
stable and the payment Of the other ex-
penses connected with polo are not obstacles
to be considered. The conclusion to be
drawn from this ia that the men who have
become millionaires are all sending their
sons to college, and they are doing 1t In
spite Of the frequent publication Of the
opinions Of some self-made persons that
a college education is wholly unessential to
success in this world.
