STREET EXCAVdTTONS.

The social theory that everybody is out Of
town. leaves undisturbed the actual fact that
about million and a half persons are still in
town. In behalf of these we. demonstrate against
rhe manner in which most II the work upon our
thoroughfares Is now being done. The streets
are in state of unprecedented disruption.
From almost every corner an excavation is IN
view. The greater part OF this work is private
in the sense that the community does not di-
rectly order and pay for It, but it is all public
In the sense that il has to do with public prop
erty and is an annoyance to every citizen. such
operations, however necessary, are always n
source of inconvenience but they can be so con-
Quoted as to minimize the nuisance and give
no Just cause of complaint. That is not the
way in which the enterprises now going for
ward are managed.
The city is pervadcd by that compound and
nauseatng stencil which always afflicts us whom
ever and wherever our saturated soil is turned
up. This odor is not only offensive, but it Is
also indicative of conditions which foster malaria
and fever The various undertakings which
subject the community to discomfort and danger
Of this sort ought, in common decency and fair
ness, 10 be prosecuted with the utmost energy
and expedition, especially in consideration of the
fact that they are going on in midsummer. If
there is lack of conscience and public spirit
on the part of individuals the public authori-
ties are bound to provide the necessary slim
illus. But in spite of every obligation to zeal
and activity the work proceeds slowly and list
lesSly, as if time were no object and the COM
mon welfare of no account. The worst conse-
quences of such diatory performances have been
averted by the unusually cool weather Of the
last few weeks, but we may expect blistering
temperature any day, and 1t is certain that the
state Of the streets would increase the mortality
which always accompanies and follows period
of fervid heat A good motto for the time is
"push things"

the Bishop-elect belongs to no party, and was
supported by men of all parties. 1t is rather
the recognition of the fact that pre-eminent
genius and leadership are to be no longer pro-
scribe1 in the Church, and that something moro
is needed in a modern American Bishop than
the possession of complete Episcopal trous-
seau and an intimate acquaintance with the
trivialities and puerlities of ritual. Phillips
Brooks has for many years occupied the posi-
zion of leader of men, with an influence reach
inc far outside of his own communion. He Is
one of the great preachers of righteousness Of
this generation, who has made full proof OF his
ministry, not by unfolding to public gaze his
ancient commission from the Apostles, but by
reaching tie hearts of men with the message
Of Gods holiness, love and goodness There
NAV be some doubt whether such man should
be CONGRATULATED on his election to an office OF
official dignity but there is no manner OF doubt
that the Church is TO be congratulated on his
acceptance of that office. For it will immeas-
urably strengthen the Church, not only in in
Huence. but in numbers, and put it in relations
of sympathy and fellowship with phase OF
modern thought and culture to which mere &c
clesiasticism appeals in vain. For many years
past the Episcopal Church has been standing in
doubt at the parting of the ways, heSltatlng
whether to retrace its steps back to the outwom
ideals of mediaeyalism, or to cast its lot with
the practical and progressive religious life OF
the present. The election Of DR.. Brooks Is ny
no means the only indication that it is striving
to adjust itself to the thoughts and needs OF
its time: but it is an event that will most Ell
fectualy prove to the public that its rever-
ence for the past need not necessarily prevent
it from seeing it's duty and responsibility to the
present.

THE CONFIRMATION OF PHILLIPS BROOKS

The report that majority Of the Protestant
Episcopal Bishops have given their consent TO
the election of the Rev. Phillips Brooks as
Bishop of Massachusetts, may be premature,
but there is not much doubt that it is sub
stantially true. To assume otherwise would be
to insult the intelligence and good sense of the
Bishops, and to faSten upon them q character
for blind, stupid and malicious partisanship
which every one viii he glad to know they do
not deserve. The opposition to DR.. Brooks,
however, has had one good effect it has shown
to what depths of meanness and cOwardice some
"ChurchmeR' are willing to descend i'll order
to destroy man who does not pronounce their
shibboleth AS we have frequently said, Phil
lips Brooks Is not above criticism; and it was
the right, if not the duty, of any Churchmcn
who thought his election unWiSe to use every
legitimate means TO defeat it, But when they
sought TO do so by the confidential" circula-
ton of irresponsible SANDERS, they at once sepl-
rated Themselves from the ranks Of decent
Churchmen Of every school Of thought. And it
is pity that the canons of the Church do not
provide for the trial of such men for conduct
unbecoming Churchmen and gentlemen"
But it is pleasanter TO leave these men in the
pillOry where they have placed themselves, and
consider for a moment what Tie election OF
Phillips Brooks means to the Church and the
community. The deep interest which the sec
ular papers have taken in the matter has in
deed been urged as one of the counts in the in
dictment against the distinguished preacher.

WHAT EUROPEAN PEACE MEANS.

The military and civic pageants which are
accompanying the German Emperors visit in
England are tributes paid to nation rather
than incense offered to an Emperor Royal
hospitality at Windsor was essentially family
affair. The Emperor holds the highest rank
among the large company Of the Queens grand
sons, and it was natural for her to desire to
render his visit memorable by unwonted state
illness of ceremonial. The fetes and state balls
at Marlborough House have also been royal
functions which the Queens family and all the
princeIy and aristOcratic relations by marriage
have attended in full force. There has been a
grand dress-parade OF all the royalties big and
little, good, bad and Indifferent, in order to i'm
press the sovereign with the dignity and i'm
pOrtance of his troop of English relatives The
pomp and glory of the Guildhall reception and
the storm of cheering and tumultuous enthusi-

people welcoming the Emperor as the chief cit

The recent death of Sapeck, once King of the
Latin Quarter, is the text for highly interest
ing letter from our Paris correspondent to-day.
As a general thing, practical jokers should be
billed in oil along with the punstcrs, but
Sapecks Jokes seem to have usually been
harmless. The way he with two students called
at a fashionable girls school in the guise Of
inspectors and put the young ladies through
their singing lessons is now a classic. Appar-
emily nature fitted him for practical Joker and
a Bohemian, for when he married and settled
down for a quiet and respectable life he was
soon taken sick and before long died. Though
in justice to responsibility it ought, perhaps to
be admitted that possibly his mad life in the
Latin Quarter had undermined his constitution.
