Sewerage.

The SdnitQridH for August contains an
article Of considerable pretensions on the
subject Of sewerage" The aim of the
writer appears to he to prove that DIR. b.
W. Richardson, +. r. S, who lately read
a paper on the same subject before the
Society of Arts, is mistaken when he says
that ''until the combined system of sewer
age is abolished there can be no real adj
yancement in physical publication" The
doctor. in his paper says:
Next to the most scientific system of
cesspOOlage. | cannot conceive any next
worse plan than the plan of passing the
sewage with stOrm-water, even on the
most scientific system, INTO running
streams; ana TINS society can
never be sOundly assisting sanitation,
until il assists none other mode Tor re-
mOval OfeNcreta than the separate system.
The doctor further says that he has
"asked and sought MANY times for so
much as one instance in which the COM
bined system-apart altogether from It's
loss and extravaganza, which might be
tolerated if its results were gOOd-has
proved a sanitary success. 1 cannot find
one instance OF the kind"
The doctor is Enthusiastically strong
advocate of the separate system.
The writer i'm the SdBitdriGB, while not
DENYING that the small pipe, separate
system has merits, undertakes to show
that it is about as necessary, from a sanI-
tary point Of view, to drain city as 1t is
to remove the sewage, and that the COM
bined method, which does both, is su-
perior to the separate system for that
reason. He points out that Memphis,
which has the separate system and is not
drained, has very high death rate
almost as high in fact as it had before 1t
had any sewerage system. He refers to
the city Of Brooklyn, n. Y, which has
population of 1900, and which has the
combined system, to sustain his position.
Brooklyn has a death rate of only l7.2 per
1000, which Is about one-half of that of
Memphis He quotes DIR. Herring, an emf
nent sanitary engineer, who in report
to the National Board of Health which he
made after spending a year in investigat-
ing all the best known systems OF sewerage
in Europe, said shat the best system IN
Europe. aud the cleanest he saw, hap
pened to be of the combined class, and IN
cities where they were properly designed,
the death rate was less than before their
introduction
This subject of sewerage is interesting
in this city at this time, because there Is
a movement to adopt the separate system.

The Post-NIcPherson Controversy.
The controversy between Mr.. McPner-
son. Secretary Of the Republican congress
sional Committee, and Mr.. Post, Secretary
OF the Democratic Congressional COMMIT
tee continues to attract deai % az
tention. The controversy is about the
amount Of money stolen from the govern
men. since the Republican party came
into mower. It was started by Mr.. POSI-
who made a statement in a speech OF the
smount stolen. Mr.. Mcpherson replleu
in a circular. Their respective state
ments differed so widely as TO excite very
General comment. In a speech at Balti-
more this week Mr.. Post replied TO the
Mcpherson circular. He gave the sources
If his information and established the
correctness of his figures.
Mr.. Post originally stated that $3l ,522,-
S25 had been stolen between the time
the Republican party came into
power in 1861 and June 30, 1888. He also
stated That $1,569, 7S3 y had been stolen
since the present administration came into
power.
OF course these statements Of Mr.. Post
alarmed the Republican managers. II
they were allowed to stand uncOntradicted
the people would see the imperative ne
cessitv of turning the Republican party
out Of power.
To meet Mr.. Posts statements Mr.. Nc
Pherson prepared a circular. He was
assisted by Mr.. Coon, the Acting secre-
tary OF the Treasury. In the circular 1t
was asserted that MIR. Coon was not able
TO ascertain that the government bad sus-
tanned a greater loss during the present
administration than $685., 4OS. Mr.. Nc
Pherson did rot undertake to ascertain
the amount that had been stolen since
the Republican party came into power.
He avoided that issue by attempting to
show how much the government had lost
since the beginning of Weshington's adj
ministratiOn.
In his Baltimore speech Mr.. Post made
it very clear that immense sums had been
stolen from the government Of which there
was no record. In his original statements
he had confined himself to the published
/ reports Of the departments. He did not
even take into account the star route
| steallngs.
II MI. Posts statements needed any
support there would be no difficulty in
finding it in the report of the Springer
/ Committee, which was published day
or two ago. What a picture Of corruption
was presented in that report! The de.
vices adopted to rob the government and
Cypress the people by rascally officials, as
shown by the testimony before the CON-
mittee, are almost beyond belief.
The Republican organs and orators MAJ
have some success in denying the charges
against Blaine, but it is impossible for
them to meet successfully the figures OF
Mr.. Post.

Gladstoneite, spent six hours each day during
over fifty days in the library of the House OF
Commons and siXty-five days oyerhaullng the
newspaper files in the British Museum IN tne
the first recorded syllable OF his political
voice. This victim of hero worship found
that Mr.. Gladstone had talked up to July.
1873, fourteen miles and half OF print; he
has added 700 yards in the interval He can
hardly hope to put a girdle round the earth,
but he has far excelled all other wind mills Of
his age in articulation.
QUITE curious was the recent discovery of
coal in Alaska. One day while on a survey
ing trip, Sitka Indian came to two survey
ors with the announcement Heap coal up
stream here" They bought his silence, and
under pretense Of duck hunting accompanied
the Indian up the river. At last they came to
a deposit of excellent anthracite coal which,
being on the surface of the ground, scarcely
required any expense for mining. They car
ried back specimens to the experts, who all
pronounced 1t the best of fuel. Rum0rs OF its
discovery at once spread about, and no diff
Guilty was found in Incorporating company
and selling shares. Numbers locked up the
river IN hopes of discovering more. Among
them were officers and men OF steamer that
had been in that region for some months. On
reaching the place the whole scheme fell
through. 1t was only heap of coal, lett there

Mr.. GRAHAM, an Englishman, with the help
of two Swiss mountain guides, has recently
made an attempt to ascend some of the lofty
peaks of the Himalayas. Starting from Nynee
Tai he found his first difficulty, and not an
Insignificant one, to be to get to the noun
tains. They stand far back. and are ap-
proachable only through valleys occupied by
large streams. The first attack was made up
on Dunnagiri, which is %, lS4 feet high. In
order to reach it they had to climb over two
peaks 1900 and $4,000 feet high, and then,
q, 4hax~ nroF, nd an q
glacier at the height of l8,400 feet. On the
sixth day they reached a height of 22,5OO feet,
when, a snOwstorm coming on, they were
sight of their goal. Mr.. Graham observes
that the peaks of the Himalayas, as rule,
are considerably sleeper than those of the
Alps; and he is convinced that breathing is no
more difficult at the height he reached than at
10, 900 feet lower down.
