THE SUN ON GENERAL WOOD

The New York Sun disputes part of
the presidents assertion that This
country never had work done for it
that reflects more credit on the cOun-
try than the work done for it in Cuba,
and that the man, who, above all 9TH
ers, is responsible for doing that work
so well is the present Major General
Leonard Wood"
The Sun, while inclined to admit that
good work was done in Cuba, would
have the president acknowledge that
others than General Wood did it, The
sanitation of Havana it accredits to
General Ludlow, who gave his life
for his country as truly as ever did
any one who fell upon the battlefield
The cleaning up of Matanzas, Santa
Clara and Cienfuegos was accomplish
ed by General Wilson, and the SANTA
ton of Puerto Principe was, according
to the Sun, brought about by General
Carpenter.
The theory of the determination of
the mosquito for the suppression of
yellow fever was submitted to General
Wood by Dr. Carlos Finlay, a Cuban
physician, who had been experimenting
along these lines for twenty years.
The Sun thinks it is wrong to give
Wood too much credit when money
was taken from the Cuban treasury to
extend the Finlay experiments and the
work done under the direction of Mai.
Reed.
There is, however, nothing in the
Suns criticisms which detracts from
the credit due to General Wood. He
was the commanding officer He was
evidently the soul of the desire to
bring about healtnful conditions. Had
ne been one of the despairing kind, a
commander who took good care of his
own health and let the people do the
same for theirs, the reduction of dis
eases in Cuba probably would not have
been accomplished. AS far as the Fin
lay experiments are concerned it is
very likely fortunate that thew were
brought to the notice of general who
mad been physician and who was up
TO date in his reading of medical lit
erature. We can imagine some other
kinds of generals, and very good gen.
erals, too, turning down such expert
ments as nonsensical.
On the whole the spleen of the Sun
against General Wood has not nre-
vented it from giving a very substan
tlal tribute to his worth to his country
in Cuba.

A CHICAGO PROBLEM.

Judge Tuley and other legal lumi-
naries in Chicago hold that the law
passed by the last Illinois Legislature
forbidding divorced people to remarry
inside of year does not apply to per-
sons divorced before July l, when the
law became effective. On the other
hand, the attorney general of Illinois
has given an opinion that it does apply
to people divorced before July l.
The only difference is that people
who were divorced before July l nave
only part of a year to wait before yok-
ing themselves again.
In some parts of the country this
might be called a small question, since
the number of persons who had lost
their married state and wished to re-
gain it is small and of no Importance
in the community. But it is not SO
in Chicago. One of the recreations of
that town is marrying. Many persons
strive for the championship in the
number of times at the altar.
On the day the attorney general
made his ruling, there We're twenty APP
pliCatiOnS for marriage licenses CT the
part of divorces. Some of these were
on the fourth or fifth round. Many of
them had been looking forward to the
local prize in the wedding inIuS+"y y.
They find themselves baked by d rui-
ing of the law officers which is neither
clear nor satisfactory.
What to do about it they Cont knew.
1t may be necessary to form a di-
vorcees' association, hire lawyers md
make a test of the law Presurl1 J. "
some Chicago couple can be found t
rlotic enough to go into court for this
purpose. 1t would be for the goo! of
the greatest number and would be
worth the sacrifice.
When the law is cleared the giving
in marriage and in divorce could begin
over again, all having a fair start.
There are mean people in the world.
though, and it would be just like some
man from Evanston or Hyde Park to
put through couple of marriages and
divorces on the eve of the decision,
just to rob some other couple of their
relative standing.

HOCH OF KANSAS.
Scores New Yorker for His Views Of
Law Enforcement.

OTTAWA, Kan, July 22.-In intro
ducing Governor Folk of Missouri to
the Ottawa Chautauqua, Governor
Hoch of Kansas said, in regard to
William Travers Jeromes recent
speech in regard to law enforcement:
1T was a matter Of great surprise
to me, as it doubtless was to you, my
fellow Kansans, that so distinguished
a representative of law enforcement
as Mr.. Jerome should come to the
west with a message of weakness
rather than help, to those who are
striving to uphold the standards of
good government, whose fundamental
principles 1 have briefly outlined in
this short address.
His views may or may not reflect
the statement of his personal state, to
which he is personally amenable, but
he cannot, without protest, be permit
ted to ventilate those views in Kansas
and Missouri.
1T gives me great pleasure to ex-
tend hand to the distinguished gov
ernor of our sister state, whose pub
lie career as we'll as his private life, is
an inspiration to young men and an
honor to his country"
Governor Folk spoke on 'Tne Reign
of Law" in reply to Mr.. Jerome, who
delivered an address in this city a
week ago.

A Sure Remedy for Hard Luck.

There is no question but that many
men during the first 20 or 80 years of
their lives waste enough in useless
and foolish expenditures, which, if
saved and carefully invested, would
have made their families Independent.
So we say to young men, if you are
spending % or so cents a day for
things that probably do harm, sup
pose you open a bank account with
the Equitable. An Equitable endow-
ment policy means protection at the
same time savings bank interest on
your money. Make each day count:
build as you grow. Equitable Life.

GERRY MANDERING IRELAND

The character of the efforts made nv
Premier Balfour to hang on to mower
IN English politics becomes more hare
faced ana brazen the more frankly the
people speak their desire to repudiate
Balfour.
The latest is a plan to redistribute
.ne seats In the house of commons. 1t
IS what would be called in America a
serrymander. 1t leaves all the tory
strongholds intact and practically does
nothing for the great industrial centers
OF England which are under-represent-
ed Its main effect is to reduce the
irish representation about twenty seats
or course, the nationalists lose all
these
The decline in the population of Ire
land and the inequality of representa-
tlon growing out of that fact, is the
excuse for the bill. But the Irish rep
resentation in the English house of
commons does not stand altogether on
the population basis 1t is claimed to
De a matter of treaty when Ireland
joined the union. At that time she was
guaranteed 103 seats forever If the
population of Ireland mad increased
afterwards, undoubtedly the tories
would have taken refuge behind the act
OF union to show that Irelands repre-
sentation could not be changed.
The reduction of twenty in Ireland's
quota might seriously affect the stand
ing of parties in the next parliament.
Everybody expects the nationalist to
be the balance of power. as they were
when Gladstone passed the home-rule
bill. and as thew were in Parnells time

before the home-rule principle had been
conceded. If, by cutting down Ire
lands membership In the house, Bal
four could prevent the liberals from
forming an effective union with the
nationalist, he would make the next
parliament shortlived and might come
back to power himself after a short
parliament and another appeal to the
country.
The Irish party has never had any
objection to fusing with either English
party, but has always preferred to deal
with the liberals, who give the most.

A number of boys were discovered
bathing in the Lidgerwood standpipe
today, and an investigation developed
the fact that this reservoir has been
used by the boys for swimming pool
for some time past. The city commits

weep an extra watch on the standpipe
and promptly arrest any boys caught
swimming in or climbing about the
same.-Spokane Chronicle.

Cannot be Injured.

AS to the chances for injury to the
spring grain by hot weather or not
winds, it is now said by the buyers
that the danger is all past. According
to them the grain is now so far ad-

winds, except possibly in few isolated
cases where the grain was especially
late sown.-East Oregonian.

Philadelphia, Feb 1s.-A special to the Evening Telegraph from Dover, Del, says: "The senatorial situation took change to-day, when it was an- nounced on good authority that eight of the union republican assemblymen will leave J. Edward Addicks during this week and cast their votes for T. Coleman Dupont. of Wilmington, the millionaire president of the Dupont Powder company, for senator. This agreement was reached after confer ences had been held this morning by the members concerned in the move ment. This will be the outcome of the recent ruinors that have been current on the subject of a break. and it will mark the first assertion from the Ad- dicks ranks since the session of 1895. It has not been announced on what day the break will be made.

 ,Saybrook Point, Feb. 13.--For the third time in a week the Cornfield Point lightship was carried away from her station by drift ice in the sound to-day, she going out on the tide and under impulse of a very strong westerly wind drifting several miles to the east ward. She could be discerned but faint ly from this point at dark. It is not be- lieved that she will be carried to the Race. The lightship is in the center of immense fields of ice and it will be difficult for tug to reach her. The lightship went adrift yesterday but was caught and replaced on her sta- tion in the evening by the Cactus. She has no motive power and her sail area is small.
 The ice in the sound is greater in quantity than at any time in twenty years, and the shores are piled twenty feet high with cakes which have been brought in on the flood tides. Keeper Smit of Duck island light was unable to reach his light to-day on account of the ice.

Resolution Looking to the Preservation < of Them.

&OI IuStMs
 Albany, N. T., Feb. 1S.The effect upon Niagara Falls of withdrawing water for electric power purposes was the subject of a concurrent resolution introduced tonight by Assembly Palmer, leader Of the democrats. A similar resolution was a feature of last years session. .
 It provides for memorial addressed to the president and congress Of the United States. requesting that they, by treaty or otherwise, enter into nego- tiations with his majesty s government of Great Britain, looking for some joint action for the preservation of Niagara Falls from further waste and diversion of the waters thereof. <
 The preamble declares that ssit is now generally understood from experts statement that based upon careful ex- animation of the situation, that there are in contemplation many schemes to abstract from the Niagara Falls and river above the cataract of Niagara Falls, water for the manufacture of power for commercial purposes, which threaten not alone to despoil the na- tural scenic wonder of it's beauty and grandeur but to imperff the very exist ence of the American falls and refers to a suggestion looking to, the imposi- ton of an annual state tax upon the use of this water for commercial pur- poses, (which if consummated will tend to encourage and legalize permanently the policy of despoiling the falls.''
