in this country, the first on Dante, being

some twelve months or so ago. Many who
heard the distinguished Canon will be glad

PATRICK Ford, editor of the Irish World,
issues a stirring appeal for aid in behalf of
the destitute peasants ON the coast of Galway,
Mayo and Donegal, whose condition is pitt
able enough to touch the hearts of Christian
men aud women everywhere. Whole com
munties are without food or fuel, thousands
of persons are almost naked aud hundreds
of young girls are compelled to remain in
doors, having sold or pawned their scanty
clothing for provisions. These statements
are verified by the clergy of the stricken
communities and by Michael Davitt, under
whose direction all money subscribed in
this country is distributed. The Famine
Fund deserves prompt and generous re-
sponse, and contributions sent to Patrick
Ford, at No. II Barclay Street, New York,
will be duly acknowledged.

Chief Engineers Report.-The fifteenth
annual report of the Chief Engineer from
the Department of Engineering and Survey
ing of tue city of Wilmington is to hand.
1t is a compendous statement of some sixty |
pages comprising the usual routine account
by city Surveyor Robinson of what has tran
spired during the past year in his department.
In relation TO the Park business we are glad
to mott &C that Mr.. Robinson adds bis valua-
BILE commentator in regard to the purchase
of Brandywiue Park. He says 81 trust that
the further recommendations of the Board
(of Park Commissoners) will meet with a
favorable response from City Council, and
that land so well adapted to park purposes
may thus be forever secured to our citizens"
An interesting chapter in this pamphlet is
the record of the discussion upon the High
School tower project. The Chief Engineer
closes his report with testimony to the
faithful performance of their duties by all
his assistants. There is little doubt but tina
the public will be not unwilling to bulk
them all together, Chief Engineer and assis-
tauts, and share that well deserved public
commendation with Mr.. Robinson himself,
whom we have no hesitation in declaring
most exemplary, and fitting officer for the
position he so well fills.

Ex-CHAIRMAN SMITH dies hard.
Like a celebrated Bowery tragedian,
when by all the rules OF the drama
he should stay dead, he comes to life
again, yelling: "My chair, my chair,
my loat chair" WHAT'S there in that
chair that should make itso dearas that
in the facs ofthe repeated declarations
of the County Court that he cannot
and must not have it he still takes up
the time Of that and other courts of
the county and State in vain and
futile effor; to prove that he knows
better than the c>urt what it needs
and ought to have in chairman; that
he alone is right, and all the rest of
the justices are wrong; that their
word ought not to weigh the
value of q continental against his;
that they are idiots who do not know
that a msjority-21 OF SO -of them
voted for slaughter; that they are
dreaming, have no sense 10 appreciate
facts, and he alone has memory for
t~em? This is Smiths attitude before
the cour.. Before the people he is a
nuisance to be sbated by the courts
effectnally and forever squelching him.
Neither the County Court nor the peo-
pie want Smith He is down and out,
and the repeated decisions of that court
say he must stay down and out.
Slaughter is chairman by virtue of a
majority of the votes cast and he can
not be disturbed.

YACHTING AN NEW YORK.
Annual Regatta OF the Atlantic
club.

New YORK, June 15,-The annual
regatta OF the Atlantic Yacht Club
was called to-dsy and attracted mora
than usual attention, owing TO
the fact that several OF the con-
testsnts were large sloops, one or
more of which will probably sail in
the international race for the Qusen's
Cup against the English yacht Gala
tea later in tue season. There was a
long list Of starters, but the interest to-
day was confined to three large vessels,
the Puritan, owned.in Brston, and at
present holder OF the Queens Cup;
the Priscilla, owned in New York,
and the Atlantic, a new vessel owned
by the Atlantic Yacht Club, and built
with view to e0tt ring the inteTDa.
tional race Much regret was felt that
the new Boston yfcht, MayAower,
which arrived here yesterday, did not
sail to-day. The distance was a lrisn-
gle ecu Sc o. forty miles. Ths
day was cl uly and 'hreat-
ening rain, a d the ,.t ex-
tremely capriciDus, bot. ds to
strength and direction. The start was
made st 1926 am. The Priscilla
showed her superiority over her COM
pc itors, ho'h in pointing snd sailing,
and she steadily out.footed them. The
wind died down on the Puritan, which
had fallen back of the Atlantic, and
she did not finish. The Priscilla

The services rendered by him in Sc

THERE are, let us say in answer to
correspondent, seven reasons why
the Taxing District government should
not enter into a contract with the
Memphis Gas Light Company to the
exclusion of other and new COM
panies: DIT would create a mo.
nopoly which is repugnsnt to
the constitution Of the State, which
does not permit to one man privilege
that all others in the State cannot
share t2)-It says to foreign capital
"our doors are closed against you and
whenever you attempt to enter into
competition with established enter
prises here the city government, hav.
ing the power, will effectually inter
pose that power to prevent you"
d3)-There is noProvision of law under
which the Taxing District government
can become partner in mandatory
OF any kind, on auy terms, whether OF
assumed advantage or not. (4)-The
compensation OF free gas for the city,
the consumers being compe led for ten
years to pay 81 per 1000 feet for the
gas they consume, would not be an
adequate compensation for the
less of a competing company that
pledges itself to supply gas at
s. IS per 1000 feet to consumers.
(5)-Such a contract would effectually /
shut out the city from the benefits OF
any new discoveries in gas or electric
iiy, because if lighted free it would |
be sheer folly for the city to pay for
electric or other lights, no mat |
ter how advantageous from the
basis Of a more effective and
searching light at night. (6)-
The city would lose the annual
taxes on the f500,0OO of capital which
the new company proposes to invest.
(7-The city can only make con-
tract for Fights, as at present, at so
mu,h per light; it cannot legally pre-
vent competition. Even the State,
which is sovereign within her limits,
cannot do thai. She cannot, nor can
the United States grant an exclusive
privilege to any citizen or number OF
citizens because II would be a menace
10 enterprise and is, as we have said,
to the constitution.
