SCIENTISTS AS LEGISLATORS.

A distinguishing feature of modern times,
and one which separates widely the civiliza-
ton Of the present from that of the past, is
the growing dependence on scientific methods.
Partisans may ignore the scholar in politics,
but the scientist in politics is coming to the
front OF course we do not look for men of
the purely scientific mold ard feeling like
Darwin, Cope, Pasteur or Billrath, to make
years, for they cannot afford it; life is too
short and art too long.
There have been some eminent scientists in
English politics--notably, Playfair, Count
Rumford, and John Lubbock. Professor yir-
chow has occupied both fields eminently, as
did Franklin in early American history
Contemporary with Franklin was Lavoisier,
discovcrer of oxygen, and of the present theory
of combustion. He was the greatest chemist
of his time, and an able statesman, as WELL In
1884, during the Reign of Terror, he was SEN

important researches set aside with the brutal
answer that the new republic had no need of
Swans. That day has gone by, and the
highest honors in the gift OF the present re-
public have been conferred uron Pasteur, the
prince of physiological chemists. He saved
the silk industry from ruin devised means for
the preservation Of wines and vinegars, and in
other ways has saved millions to the French
nation. Certainly such man could take his
place, as Cuyier did under Napoleon, by the
side Of jurists, diplomates and financiers
The tendency of tho study of nature Is to
lead men to take things for what they are,
and to look upon social and political problems
as they would upon those of science, without
fear or prejudice. Science is multiplying the
resources Of tho nations, binding them in
thought and commerce, changing the modes
OF living, concerning itself with all arts
and industries. Governments invoke its
aid in peace and war, In the In

CITY ARCHITECTURE,

The Journal had something to say week
ago about city architecture, which caught the
eye of the City Association Of Architects as
indicated by note to this paper approving
the sentiment, and claiming that it was in
sympathy with their own views and efforts
But the Journal is free to say that the spirit
Sundays issue have not been felt and applied
by our architects. If it has, the inference is
that the architects have little or no influence
with builders and property owners. Attention
need only be called to the vexed, tangled and
unprincipled styles to be seen in score or
more of dwellings, costing from $1,000 to
$40, 900, to be seen on the best streets of the
city. Did the architects design these, or
simply carry out the plans of a barbaric and
uneducated public tastei They are certainly
examples of what the Journal had in view,
whom it said that the aim Of the architect
seemed TO be to make every dwelling unlike
every other, and especially more bizarre,
whimsical! and extravagant if possible, than
the dwellings designed for rival owners, or
perhaps by rival architects.
The Journal does not think that the next
generation, who will pay the taxes and insur-
ance on these costly gimoracis, and keep
them In their zebra colors and grotesque

MINOR MENTION.

IT is told of an Indiana farmer who committed
suicide on Friday last, that he was driven to the
deed by worrying over debt of $4,000 Debt is
terrible burden sometimes, and hard to carry;
but in this instance it had none Of the elements
that make an unpaid obligation burdensome.
This farmer already possessed Of fine farm,
decided to buy another, agreeing to pay $1,000
for it. OF this he paid "a, 900 in cash. leaving
balance of but 81, 900. Es brooded over this
debt until it took entire possession of his
thoughts. Though worth ten times 81, 900 he
allowed himself to grow morbid over the
belief that he would not be able
to meet the payment when Il should
become due. At last, he could endure it
no longer. and. on Friday last, he hanged him
self. There is too much real distress in this
world, too much genuine poverty, to allow much
sympathy to be wasted on case like this, except
so far as the surviving relatives are concerned
The love of money, when it takes full possession
of man like that, Ia a curse even more blight
ing than honest poverty. Thousands of men,
who never had 1900 at one time in their life,

At the best our legislatures, State and ma
tional, will always lack in real knowledge, in
intelligence and wisdom. The people could
not do better than to elect men of science and
men of letters to legislative positions, thus
bringing to legislative problems the logical
and scientific methods Of investigation. The
profession of the law has furnished too great a
portion of our legislative bodies, and with
them the classical training has been
dominant This is now changing for
the better. Science studies are taking
the lead in nearly all the great
schools Of the Union, and the next generation
OF Legislators will have had fair share of
both cultures--the classical and the natural
and will be able to weigh scientific questions
at their true value. The graceless removal of
men elected as heads of bureaus-geological

reasons, is but weak policy for the party
