THE CARRIAGE QUESTION.
An Open Letter Which Gives Some In
teresting Statistics

An open Letter which Gives Some In
teresting Statistics.
To the Editor of The Herald:
DEAR SIR: l have taken a deep interest in
the question of the removal of garbage-at
present the topic of the hour-and, as L have
always considered the task a herculean one, /
have been slightly Investigating the subject
lately, upon learning that the contractor re-
ceived but $4,000 year for the work find
that the contract now in force was entered
into in 1887, the present contractor, Mr. F. M.
Draney, accepting the contract at that figure,
the same being the extent of the appropriation
at that time, and the authorities then scarcely
considered the compensation adequate to the
work.
Owing to the rapid strides made by the citv
In population and in the erection of buildings
including hotels, market houses, commission
houses, restaurants, ETC., it is estimated that
the garbage has increased 100 per cent or
doubled, since 1887. Five years have worked
wonders in this city, particularly in the in
crease of garbage during the season of water
melons, cantaloupes, green corn, etc.
lind that Mr. Draney has twenty-seven
garbage wagons on the road every day. TO
run these wagons takes the daily service of
fifty-four horses and ifty-four men, and at the
very lowest calculation the expense attached
to each wagon must be five dollars day, and
horses, like men, sometimes sicken and die
anu 4ii. |i"hCJ iliuou, Wy keep up
the supply of horses. He also has a steam
boat and eight 5arges on the river to receive,
convey, and deposit the garbage twelve miles
down. The cost of this river transportation
is twenty-seven dollars a day, and he has
large wagon and two small wagons for the
removal of dead animals, large and small, at
an expense of five dollars day. His daily
expenses for the removal of the garbage and
dead animals must be one hundred and forty
dollars, and his boats on the river twenty
seven dollars, making total daily expendi-
ture of one hundred and sixty-seven dollars.
The fifteen thousand dollars year which he
is allowed would average him twelve hundred
and fifty dollars month, making his allow
ance a little over fortyeight dollars day for
month of twenty-six working days.
The account may be said to be as follows:
RECEIPTS per day, s4S; expenditures $167;
balance on the wrong side of the book, S119
In addition TO the costs ofremoval of garbage,
the contractor employs three superintendents;
one at $40 week, one at $40 week, and one
at So a week.
The expenses of the contractor are not SO
great in winter as in summer, but just what
the difference is do not know.
Yours very truly,

FAMOUS CHESS PLAYER.

Louis Paulsen who Recently Died in
London.
There is something in the atmosphere of the
United States that seems to favor the develop
ment of skill in chess. Paul Morphy, proba-
bly, the greatest chess player who ever lived,
was an American, and while Paulsen was not
native of this country, he became famous
here. Louis Paulsen was born June IS, 1888,
in the prncipality of Lippe-Detmold, Ger

Now that the North Atlantic Squadron and

should they be threatened by reason of
the civil strife which is unhappily prevailing
there. But in Central American waters,
where retrouble may arise at any moment, we
have not a single ship, and in China, where
outbreaks have already occurred, and where
condition Of things exists which, to ex-
perienced eyes, BODIES no good to foreign in

inadequate. Now that we have ships, let us
send them where they may be needed, and
where at least they will be useful in Winning

Most people regard those who violate
the law with hatred. They do not take
into consideration the circumstances.
They do not believe that man is perDetu-
ally acted upon They throw cat of con-
sideration the effect OF poverty. of neces-
atty. and. above all. of opportunity. For
these reasons they regard criminals with
feelings Of revenge. They wish TO see
them punished. They want them impris-
oned or hanged. They do not think the
law has been yindicated unless somebody
has been outraged. look at these things
from an entirely different point OF view.
! regard these people who are In the
clutches of the law not only as unfortu-
mates. but. for the most part, as victims.
You may call them victims Of nature. or
of nations. or of governments. Il makes no
difference, they arc victims. Under the
same circumstances the very persons who
punish them would be punished. But
