Disasters and Municipal Reform

1t is not enough, then, that public
opinion should rest content with
public benevolence, or that it should
write off it's responsibility as the last
carload of supplies is shipped to the
scene Of disaster. Every such re-
current event is warning to other
centers of population that it is time
for public opinion to push the stan
dard of municipal care yet little
higher. In many of our cities there
are still hordes of men who lay hun
cry claim, as political rewards, to Of
fees for whose duties they are not
competent. The disasters of this
year are new and loud warning to
every such city to bar out such ap-
plicants more strenuously, and to an
nounce more definitely and clearly
that it can no longer take such risks
or afford to permit its offices to serve
as political rewards, The question
is no longer one of money, or of
taxes, or of the formation of an "of-
fee holding class" it has taken the
more fundamental shape of the in
creased, the Unreasonable, extent to
which disasters of every grade may
be multiplied beyond their natural
limits by incapacity or carelessness
in the occupant of even the minor
administrative offices of our modern
cities. In this and innumerable rela-
tions of the kind public opinion may
find its most cheering work in the
regeneration of our cities; and by
raising the standard of municipal
management and municipal civil
service it may defeat some disasters
altogether and reduce and hold
down the evils even of those which
are inevitable. an editorial in

National Congregational Council.

The Triennial National Council
of Congregational Churches, was
held in Worcester, Mass, last week.
The following important request was
received from the Congregational
Union of England and Wales.
ssThat General Council representa-
tive Of Congregationalism from all
parts of the world, should be held
in London, at as early a date as
possible to deliberate on grave ques-
tons, affecting the faith and church
of Christ, which at present are in
debate throughout Christendom. .
The proposal was received with un-
animous approval.
What these particular grave ques-
tons, now in debate throughout
Christendom are, is left to conjec-
ture; but no one need take alarm.

as logical to assume that the "old
man. lived on oxygen and small
piece of bread per diem for years, as
to assume that he lived on "gin and
water and bread?'
If we take Anstie's own statement
that oxygen affords ten times more
efficiency as food than alcohol, we
are forced to the conclusion that the
former assumption approximates
nearer the truth than the latter.

Paternalism in Great Britain

We have often alluded to the
practical abandonment of laiSSeS
fatre in England, notwithstanding
the persistent advocacy of Free
Trade by many of her writer's and
speakers, and the majority in its
favor among the governing classes.
A review of the Annual Report of
the British Post Office, which ap-
peared in the London Ec0nOmtst of
September 9TH, strikingly illustrates
this contradiction between British
theory and practice. The Postal
Department of the United Kingdom
undertakes in behalf of the British
people the following classes of bust
ness
First. The distribution of the
Manufacturing letters, postal cards,
books and circulars and newspapers.
Of these the quantity delivered in
the year ending March 31st, 1889,
is estimated at 2,323,4oo,ooo, a gain
of 3 6-1o per cent. over the proceed
ing year. The average number to
each person was 6I 77-Ioo.
Second. The distribution of par
GELS, the number Of which annually
has increased from $4,000, 900 in
1884-5 to more than $4,000, 900 in
1850. The average postage on
each parcel was S 32-1ood., and the
income last year from this source
was A445,24o.
Third. The postal savings-banks
the number of which has grown
from 6o16 in 1879 to 8o22 in 1888.
The amount on deposit has increas-
ed from 41,988,477 in 1876 to "a,
22o.o27 in 1883, but the average sum
to the credit of each depositor has
declined from 60. rs in 1879 to
4I3. IT'S. sd. in 1888. 1t is obser-
we'd that many of the trustee savings
banks have been closed, and the
deposits transferred to the postal
savings-banks, which accounts for a
large portion of the increase noted
in the latter.
Fourth. The money order bust
ness, or banking. The number of
money-orders issued in the year
ending March 81 was 9,563,725 for
423,869,495.
Fifth. The postal-order business.
During the fiscal year 4o,282,3 1921
orders, representing 4I6,I12,o79,
were issued.
Sixth. The telegraph business.
In the course of the year the num-
Der of dispatches was about $4,000,
900, but this department resulted in
a loss to the Government of ESQ,
I42, although the net revenue of all
branches of the postal service was
43,199,644.
Seventh. The life insurance bust
ness. During the year $50 con-
tracts were entered into, assuring
434,81o, slightly less than the pre-
ceeding year. Regrets are express
ed that efforts are not made to pop
ularize this branch of the post-office
business. 1t is claimed that the
authorities have all the machinery
necessary for cheaply and expedite
ously developing the principle of
industrial insurance throughout the
country, with advantages to the
community and to the post-ofice it
self, and it is to be hoped that some
thing will be done to make the pub
lie aware of the facilities which the
department offer for transacting this
class of business on a solid basis

An Opium Smuggler Captured.

Capt. Harry Durant, the opium SNUG
gler was arrested at Royal Oak few
days ago.
Durant was formerly the captain of the
schooner Emma and made his home at
Sand Beach. y LITTLE over yerr ago the
customs officials discovered that large
quantities of opium prepared for smoking
were being struggled into Port Huron.
Suspicion fell upon the schooner Emma as
the vessel employed in conveying the opium.
The suspicion became so well grounded
that on Sept -, lSsS, Capt. Durant was
arrested and taken before United States
Commissioner Harris of Port Huron,
charged with smuggling opium, but owing
10 the fact that no opium could be found on
board the schooner the young captain was
discharged. Durant is only IS years old
Opium continued TO infest the neighbor-
hood, however, for some time after. Spe-
cal Agent Of the Treasury Silas w. Day
determined 10 find out where it was con-
ceaed He suspected that 1t was hidden
in a clump of woods in the vicinity of Port
Hope, and in all probability buried under
the ground. Frequent visits were made to
the woods by Special Agent Day.
One night Day met Capt. Durant riding
through the woods on horseback. Day
was not mounted. He called upon Durant
TO surrender himself. Durant refused,
