The state engineer and surveyor OF New
York IN his late report on canals says he is
clearly OF the opinion that the question as to
the economical and successful adaptation of
steam as motive power upon the state
canals is now removed beyond the sphere of
physical experiment, and that ultimate and
complete success now depends upon capital
alone. A few evenings since Professor George
". Harding read paper on steam propulsion
on canals before the New York society of
rractical engineering, in which he described
he different efforts made 10 devise a practi-
able system OF steam navigation on canals

assures Us that canals have yet great part
to play. even In this age of fast freight lines
and double tracks. Canals, he thought, will
hold their own against steel rails, air lines

Reference has been made in The STAR to
the civil rights case in Brooklyn, in the
matter of the application of William f.
johnson, a cOlOred man, to compel the prin-
cipal of a public school to admit his (the
relator's) son to the school. Judge Gilbert,
OF the Brooklyn Supreme Court, delivered
his opinion in the case yesterday morning,
denying the motion for a mandamus. The
decision seems to hinge on the fact that the
relator commended that be had a right to select
such schools as he saw fit, the regulations of
the board OF education to the contrary not
withstanding. The court, in rendering the
decision, holds that common schools are q
public charity. The benefits conferred by
them are free gift from the state; conse-
quently the state, like every other donor,
may prescribe in what manner and upon
what terms and conditions the gift may be
enjoyed. Prior to the.civil rights act of 1873
the board of education OF Brooklyn was, by
an act passed by the legislature April 4th.
$50, given entire charge and direction of all
public schools, and consequently participa-
ton in the privileges and benefits of common
schools forms no part of that body of polit-
ical and civil rights which are protected and
secured by the fundamental law. Therefore,
Judge Gilbert says, the 18th amendment has
no application to the case.
