City Where Laborers Own Their Homes.
Moral and Social Influence.


Moral and Social Influence.
Philadelphia, as the greatest workshop OF
America. furnishes striking illustration in
point. Its comparative exemption from
strikes Is due to the fact that, as a rule the
nottingham there owns his home. Hence
he is conservative as the capitalist You
may find scores of squares with nice brick
houses of workingmen, not one of which Is
a tenement house. Philadelphia now has
double the number of dwelling houses of any
other city of its size in the world.
This marvellous increase in its homeSteads
is due to its cooperative building associations
numbering over 100. They have been tried
for nearly fifty years, and have proved such
valuable'forces in promoting industry, econ
omy, sobriety, thrift and prosperity that the
state encourages them by exempting all their
stock and mortgages from taxation. Though
the holdings Of these associations exceed $780,
100000, they are managed by workingmen at
little expense, and are always open to public
scrutiny. Failures have been very rare, less
than in any other class of financial aSsocia-
tons. The worst of those closed during the
panic of 1873 paid ninety-three cents on t..
dollar. These associations, so unique, tried so
long and so successfully, are a model for the
workingrnen Of the country, certainly in large
manufacturing centers.
That l may speak authoritatively, / viii
epitomize certain statements kindly furnished
by an eminent Philadelphia, especially con-
verSant with this subject, who says: THE
tenement house IS unknown here. In the
riots of 1877 the 10000 members of building
associations acted as an efficient counterpoise
to the lawless throngs that crowded the
streets This instinct of self representation, Of
social order, was as strong with them as with
the wealthier classes, and was even more eff

so that the presence of the mayor and the
police was sufficient to quell all disorder with
out collision. These associations have been a
potent factor III making our people prosper
Gus and moral, encouraging sobriety and pre-
venting dissipation. The absence of any So
cialistic tendencies can undoubtedly be traced
to the general ownership of homes. Age of

A fire broae out at 2 p. m. on the 10Th
lust, at Eastport, Me-, which ragged
furiously ten hours, burning ten sardine
factories, two hotels. thirty dwellings,
the Custom House, the postoffice and
every place of business, except two small
grocery stores, which were out of the
path of the fire. 1t is impossible to ac-
curately estimate the losses or insurance,
but it is estimated in round numbers at
$500, 900, fairly covered by insurance, eN-
cept the sardine factories, which could
not procure insurance..

Cholera IN Japan.

Cholera is still raging throughout
Japan. The deaths resulting from this
scourge are terribly frequent and Of
increasing quantity. During the nine
days from August 2Sth to September 9Th
inclusive. the number of deaths was s.
412, and the number of new cases was
13.34S. OF the number attacked by this
disease, 63 per cent. die. In Toxic, care
full examinations show $40 out of LII
wells entirely saturated with cholera
germs and therefore unfit for use. This
shows a most deplorable condition of
sanitary affairs throughout this densely
populated empire.

The Sewer rtditor.

There are fifty miles of streets
within the corporate limits of Palatka,
according to w. j. Campbelrs map. At
S12, 900 per mile, sewers for all these
streets will cost 5000, 900. Give the con-
tractor a clear title to the city at once.
In our editorial on "Sub-Irrigation"
of Sundays issue, the types made it ap-
pear that two hundred or three hundred
dollars invested a flowing well and thing
was the sum necessary. 1t should read
two or three thousand dollars.
Separate sewer lines, one for sewage
and one for storm-water, are cheapest
and best. Scientific practice says this is
so, and modern sanitary engineers are
adopting this plan. Memphis, Tenn,
has this double system, and it is correct,
Just as was anticipated by the engineer
devising it. Palatka must build her own
sewers, or supervise the construction.
No scamping the work here.
1t has been reported that well in
Ohio has been flowing pure vinegar since

Sewer Gas Trans.

We have heard great desl about an
ti-syphon traps. Do they exist: Not
much, they don't.
However well it is made, unless the
house sewer is perfectly ventilated the
seal of any trap can be broken, and by
this means let sewer gas into the house.
And, too, when q house is closed for q
week or more, there is great danger of
evaporation of the sealing water.
Now unless greatly different system
of plumbing be resorted to than Is com
mon to most plumbers, any trap IS
faulty. Simply ventilating the trap is
against modern sanitary practice. The
force of the wind blowing into line of
sewers will break or force the seal of any
simply ventilated trap. This accounts
for the heavy, sickening odors common
to many bathrooms supposed to be well
plumbed. We must have city law
regulating a method of inspection.

and in charge of q sergeant defled through
the yards and were stationed at the varicus
corners where they coull command view
of the entire premises. They were watched
with interest and hatred by the working
men. This morning it was rumored
throughout the yards that ths packers had
appointed . ermmittee TO adjust the diff

the packers had been making money under
the new schedule Of wages and were salts
fed with the advance, but could not afford
to allow the machinery to remain idle for
two hours. The terms Of settlement to be
offered to the men, It was claimed, was to
advance the wages for ten hours work to
the same rates paid dnring the last Eve
months for eight hours. This, it was said
by enc of the men, would be satisfactory.
but others said that nothing but eight
hours work would DO accepted.
