island. would involve Of course q large out
lay of money; butindependently OF the SAM
tary advantages to be obtained, the increas-
ed value of the soil, ought nearly, II not
altogether, to make up for such an expense
1t is suggested that the Citizens Sanitary
Association ought to assure the city authori-
ties of their willingness to sustain them In
any well devised plan for the raising OF funds
sufficient to undertake and complete this
very necessary and important work.
II It were possible, 1t would be very de-
sirable to include in such embankment all
the land on Hutchinson's Island subject to
dry culture contracts, as also Fig Island.
In the meantime the city authorities
ought to be urged to enforce on said tract
strict compliance with the stipulations OF
the dry culture contract, so as to obtain, at
the earliest possible moment, and before
hot weather sets in permanently,s correction
in its present wretched condition.
In this connection 1t is suggested that the
duties devolving on the Committee OF Coun-
ell on Dry Culture are of too onerous ma
ture. Proper attention to these duties
would absorb all the time that man OF
business can spare for public affairs, and
would preclude the possibility OF the mem
bers on said committee giving their atten-
tion to other matters of public importance.
Under such circumstances 1t would seem
that committee Of private citizens, APP
pointed as Commissioners OF Dry Culture,
would be able to render more efficient ser
vice than any committee OF Council possibly
could.

Why should the only living private

seventeen years since the war closed,
and has picked off more of the

On which Side Do We Stand.

American newspaper writers, both

ome pains to create the impression
hat the sympathy Of our people, In
he matter OF the Anglo Egyptian

ylish Several London correspond

themselves ridiculous in their lines Of
writing. No less ridiculous was the
action of lheAdmiral who command

was IN the bay in front of Alexandria
during the bombardment of that city
by the British. This Admiral whose
name, happily, We have forgotten-in
his zeal to convince tho English that
they have the sympathy of this coun-
try, steamed up to the English squad
ron during its bombardment Of Alex
andria and made his men cheer the
British marines as they hurled their
missiles of death and fro into the I'M
offending and undefended city. The
destruction of that city was one OF the
