It will be difficult to see anything in this

TILE SMOKE ORDINANCE.

After long struggle 4 slnnke-nu:sanceo or
diuance has been secured for this city. l
now remains for the Health Department tt
enforce it. Much of the expected relief vii!
delrcnl upon intelligent inspection. Occa
sional prosecutions and spasulodic fines vii
not suffice to prevent the horrid smoke nui-
/ sance. The persons charged with the en-
forcement of the ordinance should be coul
| petentto explain to the owners Of engines
| and to the fretnen how the smoke may be
| consumed in great part which they have
been allowing to escape in great, black, dirty
volumes out their chimneys. Wherever
such emission Of smoke is discovered it may
be concluded that it is due either to de.
fectlve tlue, uninteliisent firing, OF intliff.r-
eHce. or to q combination Of these circu1,,-
stances. The first duty Of the officers charged
with suppressing the nuisance Should be to
explain TO those who commit it how the
smoke can be consumed, for that is the unly
means Of suppresslng it. After this the fail
ufe tu consume it should lead to determined
prosecution.
The Chief Engineer OF the Steam Users
Association in Manchester. Eng. has written
letter to the Citizens Association Of Chi
cago which shows that practical experimen
i'll tile great manufacturing city of Mali
chester has for years demonstrated the effect
iveness Of the theory which THE TRIBUNE
has ifrcQncntly evolved about the smoke
nuisance. The directions for consuming the
surplus carbon without any special appliance
to that end may be summed up rs follows:
~ Competent testimony that the chimney
tlue is properly constructed, and that the
draft is as perfect rs can be obtained under
existing conditions.
(.) Construction OF short fire-grates. along
with perforated doors and slide, so that air
may be introduced with fresh supply OF
coal and closed out when it is necessary for
keeping up the FIRE.
(3) Freun4nt but sparlng "iring>'' 50 that
the live tlane shall not be smothered by a
great mass OF fresh fuel. l. good means to
insure this Is to fire from two ends, when
that is practicable, but from only one at a
time, SO that live Goals may constantly con-
tribute flame.
The last of these directions is the most lr1-
p"rtant. Careful and economical firing is
Inc real secret OF perfect consumption Of the
carbon. Lazy engineers or irenen, who
want to do as little stoking as possible. IN
order to give themselves opportunity for

schools? Germany and Austria are
already far advanced IN the higher branches
OF technical education in the practical arts,
and their schools, which may be called col
lcScs of art, are being supplemented by
manual schools for both general and special
training. France is following in the foot
steps OF Germany and Austria England
lays behind, slow to realize that the ap-
prentice system has passed away, and slow
to adopt the habits and customs Of other na-
tlons. But Americans are not hiltebOund.
They are willing to learn from any and every
teacher, and to profit BY every worthy ex-
ample. Why should not we initiate Germany
and Austria on the subject Of manual eGuca-

the meaning of different shapes and forms,
and so to estimate their utility? We
fit our youth to become lawyers,

I Inc A0WI III New 10rk City over the nlti1
| streets has shaken the whole State. 1t has
! furnished uew party ISSUES, and arrayed fac
Eon against fac lon within the line Of party.
Not merely the City Council and the resi-
dents of the city who suffer the in:onyen.
| ience and disconlfort5 OF the dirt, but the
Legislature and the people of the entire State,
hare been agitated over the situation. Yet
we, venture the assertion, based upon the
observation Of Chicago people who have
recently visited New York, THAT the streets
OF that city are not i'll nearly SD bad
a condition as the streets Of Chicago.
Nevertheless, neither the Mayor, nor Coun.
ell. nor the Inhabitants. nor the taxpayers Of
the city have raised any disturbance. Chi
cago people, as rule, are too busy to trouble
themselves with anything of a public nature.
Hence, perhaps. the iediif trcnce. But it is
time for Chicago people to howl!
Somebody Is to blame for the irightfu con-
dftion Of the Chicago streets. We presume
the extra appropria Ion Of Sis, 900 which the
Common Council made was expended during
the few days preceding the election. Mayor
Harrison. being Democrat, probably recog-
ulzed the propriety Of employing a large
number of Republican laboreFs just before
election. and SO expend .ng his extra fund in
breaking up the conxealeu snow and dirt into
humps. But 1t is now high time that the
regular appropriation should be brought into
service. The accumulation OF the entire
winter, minus only the ice which has been
:arted of or has melted away, is still lying
on the streets. 1t is made I'D Of all sorts Of
filth, Including the dropping, from the ami
mails and the refuse of the Kitchens 1t is
beginning to crumble into dust, which fills
the houses. ruins stocks of goods, aud in
ereases the prevailing catarrhs and sora
throats. Consideration, OF public health. as
well.as Of prolc comfort and business inter-
est, demand that tie annual street-cleaning
shall be undertaken without further delay
and actively pushed forward.
' II there shall be any further procrastfna-
ton OF this work, the people ot Chicago will
begin to ask where the blame should rest.
Mayor Harrison may rest assured that it will
fall upon him. He is the responsible head
Of tic Municipal Government 1t Is his duty
to see that the necessary work be done. II
the delay is due to any Of his subordInates,
he should engage then who will serve the
city better. II It is owing to any neglect on
tile part Of the contractors, lie should take
steps to forfeit the present contracts and
make new ones. A thorough cleaning Of
the streets notc will be Of greater benefit to
the business and health Of this city than all
the rest nf the cleaning that may be done
during the remainder Ut the year, and thur
oughness now will materially reduce the
work for the coming summer.
