REMINDING THE PUBLIC DEBT. Yesterday
the Secretary Of the Treasury gave notice that
he would at the end of ninety days, in pursu-
ance of authority granted by the Funding
law of 1870, call in for redemption one hum
bred millions of the outstanding fve-twenty
six per cent government bonds. This action
is in keeping with his agreement with the
Syndicate, and will be followed by further calls
when the negotiation Of the new FIVE per cent
bonds placed beyond pemdventure. The books
of subscription to the three hundred million
dollars of new Ave per cents will close tonight.
By Saturday morning, doubtless the public
will know whether the Syndicate have accom-
plished what they undertook. Meantime Mr..
Boutwell's action signifies that success has
been ct least partial.

At the meeting of the Board Of Health ON
wednesday report was received from Drs.
vielo and Post, Health Inspectors. They
have examined all the public school buildings
in the city. in company with DR.. O'Sul-
Ivan, Physician TO the Board of Education,
who endorses the report These medical gen.
uemen make the startling announcement that
OF all the edifices in which our city is educat-
ing her more than one hundred thousand
children not one has proper and adequate
means for thorough and perfect ventilation.
Glass rooms, in the primary schools particu-
larry, are promiscuously crowded; in one case
eighty-fve had only thirty-eight hundred
feet cubic space, or less than forty-fiye cubic
feet for each child. Filth and noisome smells
abound in all the houses, the water supply is
generally confined to the first floor and the
drainage of nearly all is defective. This is
frightful revelation. Is it thus the city cares
for her growing citizens? Have we regular
system of slow poison for their physical sys-
TENS in connection with the development of
their mental faculties2 We shut up these in
fants by thousands for six hours day in rooms
in which the air supply is only half enough,
and that impregnated with foul gases and dis
gushing odors Such confinement would kill
dogs. Our authorities owe it to themselves,
to their constituents and to humanity that
these glazing defects in the public schools be
at once remedied. The weekly death rolls tell
fearful tales of mortality among the young.
No wonder need be pretended after such
report. No one of all the reforms which claim
official attention is more urgent than this of
giving the public schools healthy accom-
modations. No time should be wasted in
carrying out the suggestions of the inspectors
The Board of Health and the Board of Educa-
ton have power to correct these evils. Public
sentiment will hold them guilty if the children
continue exposed to the horrors which now
haunt the schoolhouses.

MIR. sherman's Banking and Resump-
ton Bill Killed.

The bill on banking and currency which
MIR. Sherman reported to the Senate from the
Finance Committee, as substitute for the
Buckingham Banking bill, has been killed.
After spending two days and half in debate
the Senate laid it on the table, Not being
q party or political question, there was the
widest range Of latitude for difference of opin-
ions; and as congressman are generally la
mentally ignorant of national financial mat
tiers there was, Of course, the greatest amount
of dogmatism and the crudest ideas displayed.
In the debate referred to hardly any two Sena-
tors, agreed. Mr.. Sherman started with the
assumption that his aim was to bring about
specie payments, and that his free banking,
contraction Of the currency by withdrawing
the legal tenders, and the seesaw of expan-
sion and contraction of the same currency at
the pleasure of the Secretary of the Treasury,
would attain that object. This was very
doubtful, and Senators evidently thought so.
1t wasa bill really for the benefit of the banking
interest, to increase the burden of taxation
eighteen millions year, through that amount
being added to the interest of the debt, and to
give the national banks corresponding adj
vantage in the profits of three or four hundred
millions more Of circulation. There is no
probability of specie payments being reached
by this sort of machinery, and, of course, the
national banks, if they were to get all the cir
culation of the country, would be in no
hurry to favor resumption. The banking in
terests, and not those of the people, are kept
in view by some of the Senatorial financial
tinkers.

CONGRESS YEsTERDAY.-Ths principal event
of yesterday in Congress was the introduction
Of Senator Cragin's bill for the establishment
of iron ship-building yards-one on the At
lantic coast and one on the Mississippi-and
the Senator's lengthy and statistical speech
thereon. This novel scheme for the restora-
ton of our mercantile marine will doubtless
be fully discussed but it is hardly likely that
any legislation of this character will be had at
the tail end Of the session. The Diplomatic
and Consular Appropriation bill was finally
passed In the House bill incorporating
Wyoming and Montana railroad was reported,
which drew from Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts,,
the remark that Congress had been grossly
remiss in this class of legislation, and ought
to be more careful in granting extraordinary
privileges to corporations. The bill will
probably pass nevertheless. A resolution was
adopted giving c. C. Bowen, Of South Caro-
lima, the unsuccessful contestant for seat in
the House, fifteen hundred dollars for his
expenses. Bowen will now, of course, keep
on running for Congress and contesting seats.
It is paying business

The Great British Frost.

The great and disastrous storm wave which
has recently swept over Great Britain is one
of the most remarkable events of the kind on
record. The cable reports heavy SHOWS in
London, and still heavier in the northern parts
of the Kingdom. Favored with marine eli
mate, snow is an exception to the winter wea-
Their, as it is on the Pacific slopes of the United
States, swept by warm and vapor-laden air
currents from the great ocean. In December,
1909, England was visited by one of its excep-
tional and phenomenal snow storms. In Feb
ruary, 1928, another desolating snow storm
visited Scotland, causing great loss of life.
The ''great frost" as it is known, which oc-
CURED in December, 1860, was ushered in by
heavy snow fall in Scotland, which meteoro-
logists were subsequently enabled to trace to
a continuous stream Of intensely cold, dry and
heavy air flowing from Tobolsk northwards
through Russia across Norway and Sweden,
and descending over Scotland as a northerly
wind. On Christmas night of that year some
of the Scottish thermometers fell to twenty de-
grees below zero. We have no accurate re-
port as yet revealing the conditions under
which this Polar temperature Of the present
week has been produced in Great Britain;
but it is doubtless due to conditions similar
to those which bore sway in Northwestern
Europe, in December, 1860.
It is also highly probable that the great
frosts of history-e. g., that experienced in
Flanders, in 1914, when wine froze in the
casks, was cut by hatchets and sold by weight;
that Of 1548, when the Baltic was covered
with bridge of ice those of 1717 and TAO,
when the Thames was frozen over, fairs were
held and oxen roasted upon it, and other
notable phenomena of cold in Western Europe
are referable to the same atmospheric currents
and conditions observed at Tobolsk in 1860.
1t is doubtful whether any part of the west
ern side of the American Continent, from Cali
fornia to Sitka, ever has experienced such
frigorifc extremes Of Continental cold as oc-
casionally descend upon Western Europe.
