Carlohns Of Dead Fish.

DEs MofNEs, Ia, May 14-fSpecial Tele-
gram to THE BEE. The mayor OF Tama City
has telegraphed for the president Of the
state board of health TO come up there at
once. He says the Iowa river is full

City by carloads, making people sick and
says the river is full of the decaying fish as
far as Marshalltown, aud he thinks IL Is due
to the Marshalltown glucose works, which
empty their refuse into the river. As this
refuse consists largely of diluted sulphuric
acid, it is very unhealthful for the fish.

A well-known Philadelphia business
man took in part payment for bad
debt two years ago the title to lead
mine in southern Colorado, according
to the Press. He took the mine because
he could not get anything else to show
for his $500. The mine was neglected
until eight months ago, when some
properties near it "panued out" well
and the Philadelphia began to invest
igate his own property. He went to
Colorado, formed a company, and last
October began to work the. mine. Be-
fore Christmas it had paid him over
$40, 900 and since then his dividends
have averaged about 81 300 week.

CONCERNING WEST POINT.

We are not prepared to indorse General
Wallace's plan for improving the military
service of the country. We understand
his idea to be to abandon the system of APP
polntment to cadetships at West Point and
to have class number there filled only
by those who rise from the ranks. He
would have every military station a
school. and every soldier student. 1t is
true that this would be leveling system,
but we very much doubt if it would give
us for West Point the class of students the
army needs, or that it would materially
raise the character of enlistments. Every
military station may well be- made a
school-to that there could be no reasona-
BILE objection; but such schools could not
graduate engineers, nor give that technical
instruction absolutely essential to certain
grades of officers. West Point or any other
thorough school must begin with mere
youths, those who are so plastic that they
may be nodded to the curriculum of the
school and the training necessary for the
accomplished officer. The idea that West
Point creates an aristocracy is an old one
but has never been sustained by results
The best Generals we have had have been
the most democratic of citizens. West
Point has given us some thousands of ac-
complished men, but they have invariably
returned to the walks of the citizen with.
out aristocratic pretensions. And if there
is in the army itself a distinction of pride
between the educated officer who ha:
availed of the national benefaction
and those who have not, it ha;
not proved to be detrimental to the
service. Our West Pointers have nearly
all proved to be capable officers
good citizens and refined and highminded
men. Scores of them have adorned bench
bar, the pulpit and craftsmanship, and
have given to art, mechanics and science
the best labors of their lives. In fact the
HdllOu HAS LO VARIANT III IpLL VI tAlS
results of West Point education under
the present system of selecting cadets. II
may be modified with appreciate gain
possibly, but we do not believe that
making the road to military education
run through the ranks will give us the
best men for officers, or bring to the service
the best brain. It might not be bad policy
to adopt General Wallace's suggestion SC
far as the transfer of picked men, in GER
tain numbers, from the ranks after three
years service, to West Point for military
instruction, but all such men will of ne
cessity be pretty well along between twen-
ty-fve and thirty years of age, and could
not be expected to take such an educa-
tional course as the cadet. However, for
military training, technical and otherwise,
and instruction in the laws of wal, inter
national law, etc, the transfer of picked
men would result benefcially. But why
the cadetship should be abolished has not
been made clear.

liberality on the part of Congress in en-
couraging the organization and instruction
of the militia, the National Guard, accord
ing to his view, being the chief bulwark
upon which the Government must depend
in time of trouble. He goes so far as to
say that:
The greatly increased efficiency of the Ma
tional Guard and the awakened interest taken
in it throughout the country has induced many
of our promising young men to join 1t. To give
these young men chance to gain commits
sion in the army would be a proper recognition
and encouragement of that organization.
Concerning the matter of coast defenses,
the recommendations of the Secretary have
already been treated in the RECORD UNION,
in which the idea of the construction OF
three fortresses where the military may
from time to time be trained, and in time
of need man and defend the works, was
commended. Other matters in the report,
such as the improvement of the navigable
rivers, etc, must be reserved for examina-
ton hereafter.

IT is charged that the recent destructive
fire in Boston was started by electric light
wires A few more such cases and the de-
mand for the underground disposal of these
wires will be irresistible. New York,
Chicago, Cleveland and even San Fran
cisco have made war upon the overhead
wires already. The electric light compa-
MES say that the cost of underground con-
duits for the wires is prohibitory, and that
not much greater safety is secured by the
burial. Nevertheless the cities of the
country must not be burned down.
