A recent essayist, Mr. Mahafy, in
Macmillan's, has mourned THE De
cay OF Genius" and, after. showing the
present lack OF lranscendant geniuses,
and the danger that their absence
marks the approaching downfall of our
present civilization, he puts the blame
for this unilluminated state Of affairs
upon our dwelling and genius destroy
ing methods OF education All in all,
this is a mourniul view OF very inter.
esling subject But, il chronology is
to be trusted. i, is rather early as yet to
speak OF the decay" Of genius It's
"slumber' may, indeed, be prolonged,
bu, not to any alarming extent II by
genius We mean the power Of creating
whole eras OF thought, and eonquering
empires Of whose existence, even, the
highest talents had no conception.
then these epoch-making men have in
deed been few and Tar between. The

Says the New York Observer zone
Of the most striking features Of nihil.
ism in Russia from the beginning has
been the number Of educated and high
born people who have been directly or
indirectly connected with the conspi-
racy. In fact the Nihilist propaganda
has derived it main strength and in
Auence from the support of the higher
classes. Students and professors Of
science have been among the principal
offenders arrested by the government
Disclosures of this character led to the
suspension Of the University at Kief
and the interdict on the importation of
books. Among recent cable dispatches
We have the intelligence Of the arrest Of
a band Of conspirators, among whom
were many aristocracts and ladies. In
spite Of the severe and cruel measures
OF the Russian Government, it is evil
dent that the spirit Of the nihilists is
not broken nor their strength materially
impaired

1t is good policy on the part of the

and unable to assert themselves in the
struggle for existence.
As long as good land was abundan,
and wages were high in this county,
many of these people were able to gain

The natural increase of our popula

people into the belief that there wa.

capital Is good thing But the So
ciallst said that was a pleasing and

specious theory because they applied
the term capital to those things that
are not capital, and therefore, in con.
temp, for their theory of capital, the
Socialist coined the term Capitaii5m.

to destroy capitalism, they mean that
they propose TO destroy the use as

The volunteer fire department here is the
most potent factor In the government Of the
city. In scope and influence it is as great as
the old volunteer department in New York.
and the member Of the organization are
governed with a rod Of iron. They forfeit
$40 apiece IL they miss a funeral, and their
parades are managed with a degree Of liberal
ity that Is astonishing. In one parade a few
years ago the firemen spent 81, 500 for a
band Of music which consisted of only forty
pieces, and was not a particularly brilliant
hand at that; but the company decided TO
have it, and the matter Of expense did not
stand In the way-it never does TO the New
Orleans lremen. This band was brought
from Indiana, boarded here several days
and returned home again, at the entire ex-
pense Of the fremen. The parade two years
ago cost $4,000. The funerals OF the dead
member are highly impressive.
If the fremen miss a fire. they are fined
by the city government, which has a slight
control over them, because it supplies their
engine houses and machines. The house
keeper, drive and engineer are salaried at
every station, and the members drop in at
all hours Of the day and night, just to Be
on hand in case Of an alarm. The alarms
are given from bell-towe-s. The firemen
wear ed-shirts and big hats, with the mum

and when they return from a fire they lock
arms and march along singing unsteady.
After a hard days or nights work at a
fire, they begin their songs, and return
home, followed by a small army Of white
and colored sight4sesrs. Several hundred
people go marching back toward the engine
house, to the tune of "Climbing Up the
Golden Stair" or "Mary Had a Little
Lamb The small boys run ahead Of the
red-shirted heroes, and gaze at them with
delight. while windows are thrown up by
the residents, who listen to their voices as
they pass along.
