been tried at the bar of public opinion, through
the press, in popular assemblies, before inyest-
eating committees, and it has been demonstrated
that there is no health or soundness in it. No
single voice has been raised to excuse the
shameful ignorance and incompetence of the
existing management, and if the Park bill fails
il will be because the known and emphaucally
expressed will of the entire city Is dSregarded'
As between a single responsible head-named
by Mayor elected by the people to carry out
the reforms begun-and the present commission
which is not even an apology for an efficient
executive machine. the choice is plain. This is
the capital question. Subordinate details can
be adjusted hereafter. 1t would be calamity
if the Senate should fail now at the last
moment to crown the sessions work by passing
this bill.

R1UNDFR Upon BLUNDER.

II is now asserted by one of the survivors of
the Florida'S crew that the lookout saw the
Ponema's lights half an hour before the COLI
sion. and reportedthe fact to the first mate, who
was the officer in charge of the deck at the
time. The first mate. however, 1t is said took
no notice of the report, and the seaman for the
second time called his attention to the fact that
n vessel was bearing directly down upon the
steamer. Then the helm was ordered aport,
but before the vessel had time to obey it
another order shifted it again, and by that time
the collision was inevitable. If this latest state
ment is true, the full responsibility for the col
lision rests on the first mate, and ii Is not
case of trying to. cross the bows of sailing
vessel, bat the result of sheer disin clination to
lose little time by throwing the steamer off
her course. The mate knew that the bark had
the right of way. He knew that, being SAIL
ing-yessel, she could not alter her course as
ouickly as the steamer and he must have seen
that the two vessels would come together
unless he took prompt action. But after hav-
ing put his helm to port he could not leave ii
there long enough TO avert the impending
danger, and so 1875 lives were thrown away.
After the collision the scant opportunity for
rescue appears to have been frittered away by
the person who ordered the engines to be
started tfull speed after they had been stopped.
It's extremely difficult and dangerous to lower
boats from steamer going fast through the
water and this no doubt caused a hesitation
and delay which proved fatal to the majority OF
the passengers.
The whole wreck, however, shows Culpab'e
remissness and bad judgment on the part OF
officers of the steamer; and since it appears that
Thompson, the chief officer, who is directly re-
sponsibe for the disaster, is among the saved,
it is to be hoped that the investigation VIII be
thorough. 1t is possible that it may never be
known who started the engines and thus pre-
vented the lowering of the boats, but so sense
less an order was all that was necessary to
make the loss of the State of Florida the most
shocking illustration of mismanagement reck-
lessness and folly that has been afforded for

The men who are now charged with sophistlcat-
ing coffee with deleterious substances at once

detected authorizations have been OF articles
largely used for food, and that though the use
of unwhoes0me and in some instances aDsO-
lutey poisonous substances IS alleged, no
oualms appear to have troubled the producers
of these frauds as to the consequences OF their
action. Apparently the modern adulterator
cares nothing whether he causes the deaths OF
any number of his fellOw-creaturcs lie Is pre-
pared to use whatever drugs, chemicals or other
substances may most readily effect his purpose,

E4RrHorAKES ND NArIONAL CHARACTER

Earthquakes AND NATIONAL CHARACTER
The recent shock Of earthquake in England has
led The Spectator to consider " what would he inc
oTct nm Fnoislmen of constant liability to serious
earthonakes" Pursuing the line of thought opened
by Buckle it concludes that the effect would prop
ably be injurious upon national character IL
argues that Englishmen pride themselves upon
nothing more than their trmneSs ana staOHIty Oh
mind" and 1t thinks that continued earthquakes
would destroy this rmness and substitute lol II an
uncertainty which must produce either timidity or
reckessness; either gross superstition or stubborn
atheism The speculation is ingenious and interest
inc but in order to ascertain the effect OF earth
ouoIkes upon human character the one sure way Is
to examine the phenomena and as there are regions
in which earthquakes are very frequent no diti-
cultv need be experienced in studying the effects
npon the people who inhabit such regions The
neighoorhood of Quito in Ecuador, for instance
has always been subject to shocks, aud OF all de-
orees of intensity According 10 Jhe Spectators
theory the inhabitants Of that place ought to ex-
hibit some peculiar notifications of character As
a matter of fact however. they show nothing of the
kind but resemble all respects people OF the same
race elsewhere
Nor does examination Of the population of other
earthquake centres confirm the hypothesis OF ne
Soectator What does in all such cases is the

precautions come to be adopted habitually. No
doubt heavy shocks suggesting danger, produce
momcntary terror, just as hurricanes and severe
gales do elsewhere But use and familiarity adapt
human nature to the environment, and because a
constant state Of fear would be preiudcial to the
progress or perhaps to the very existence, OF the
race, it is so ordered that the most startling
natural phenomena cease presently to occupy the
mind 70 an important extent. Just so the dwellers
on the slopes Of Yesuvius return to their vineyards
when the lava torrent has passed, and even when
has destroyed their habtatlons proceed to rebuild
on the old sites The inference from attainable and
anaogical facts therefore is that If England were
subject to constant aud serious earthquakes the
ternal habits of the people, and their architecture,
would probably be changed to meet the new con
ditions, but that the national character would be
no more affected by the instability of the earth than
it has already been by the instability of the ocean,

understood what he was about.
As TO undue influence. a very general mis-
understanding is corrected by Judge Fields
charge. He told the jury that If the VIII was
procured by falsely stating to the father that
the son was n drunkard or fraudulently mis-
representing that the mother would make
will. when she could not, it was void for fraud.
Aside from any false statements, ii ii was pro-
cured by persuasions. it was nevertheless valid
if il was the old mans wish and purpose To
make it, "Undue influence" he said, Is not
bappv expression, because ii seems to import
that unseemly, indecOrous efforts to coax or per-
shade a person into making n will, will avoid 1t.
But il is not unlawful for those about sick

selves. nor is it unlawful for him to consent. II
he voluntarily consents, the Will Will stand.
Influence, to be what the law calls undue
must be domination; a moral coercion ana
control; it must be so powerful that the IN
strument is, in reality, not the Will OF the teS-
tator. but that of another mind. If the testator
remains a free agent--if the will made Is his

ciously the legatces may have begged or coaXed

morally driven by urgent persuasion or threats
to make Il will which he did not wish to make.

NAKED. AND NOT ASHAMED.

There is unfortunately nothing new in adult
tcration. We all know that it has been going
on for many years, and that it is certainly not
an American speciality. More than twenty
wears ago England was indebted to Dr. Hassall
and The Lancet for an exposure which drew 4
broad smirch over many regulations and for a
time caused the habitual boosters about the
probty of the British manufacturer and mer-
chant to be silent. Parliament, however, took
the subject up, and legislated promptly for the
protection of the public, and since that time
adulteration has been diverted to other
lines of production, such as the cOttons of Man
chester, for instance. But il adulteration Is a
comparatively old abuse, there Is something
about its later manifestations which is not old.
Formerly those who practised these tricks con-
fessed their immortality by concealing and deny
ing them. Now all that Ia changed, and adul-
teration not only plants itself boldly among
legitimate industries, but defends and justifes
itself when attacked, and even assumes an air
of injured innocence.
