NO WIRES IN PARIS.

America Behind in the Matter of Munich
 pal Engineering.
 It should be noted that the question how to dispose of wires-a question that make, so vast and so continually recurring an agitation in all American cities-never comes up at all in Paris, and is seldom mentioned in any Euro pean city. There are, says writer in the Century, absolutely no obstructive wires in Paris. The government has purchased the telephone as well as the telegraph system, and all the wires for these services are placed in the sub ways of sewers. The wires of the electric companies are buried under the sidewalks. Armored cables are laid in simple conduits, or even in the bare soil, without the slightest difficulty from any point of view. In crossing streets it is forbidden to break the paving, and underground connection is made from the manholes of the sewers. The whole city of Paris will have been laid with network of electric lighting cables few months hence, and traffic on the sidewalks and in the streets will have suffered minimum of obstruc- tion, while no injury whatsoever will have been done topavements. All these minor questions of practical municipal engineering that we in our cities are attacking in fumbling, rude, original way, needless even of the experi- ence of our nearest neighbors, while densely and contentedly ignorant of the experience of foreign cities, have been thoroughly solved in Europe. Instead of leading the van, we are from ten to fifteen years behind Europe in all these matters. Even in our own field of electrical methods, as prominent American electrician as- sured me in Paris last December, we arc now five years behind the continent. He declared that the difficulties our American corporations still complain about, when asked to bury their telegraph, telephone and lighting wires, were all met and vanquished in Europe several years ago, and that our fellow countrymen insist upon remaining in state of in vincible ignorance rather than learn anything from the technical and scien- tific achievements of Europe. But per haps he stated the case too strongly. Doubtless he shall in time learn to be ashamed when we come to q realizing sense of the fact that tho one city of Paris has at it's command a larger and more brilliant array of engineering and architectural talent than all the im- portant cities of the United States taken together can show, and that many a small European town is better supplied in this respect than many .arge American city.

 There can be no doubt that the bear ing and personality of the emperor, which are now familiar to thousands of English people, have helped in the good impression which he has made. People who, from what they had heard and read, were prepared for rather cock, s.-hoop young gentleman, have been struck with the dignity and earnestness of our energetic guest. With a large section of the public, however, the in- terest in his imperial majesty's person seems to be of less critical and more childish order. He is to them, says the Pail Mall Gazette, a sort of big doll, whom it is the best fun in the world to go on dressing up and undressing and redressing again all day. It would be interesting to know how much time the kaiser has to spend in the various changes from uniform to uniform which are reflected so faithfully in the reports. In toilet, doubtless, as in other things, he is by nature rapid and impetuous. Still, these elaborate costumes are not quite like the everyday clothes into which we common mortals are wont to throw ourselves when in hurry; and it is safe to put an hour or two of the eight hours working day as the very minimum tax which the emperor's clothes make on the emperor's time.

A RACE PHENOMENON.
West India Black Men Beginning to Op-
 press the Whites.

press the Whites.
 F 1t is a fact that all over the British West Indies, with the possible excep- tion of Barbadoes, and especially in two of the most valuable and important islands, steady and determined, though unobtrusive, effort is making by certain ambitious black and colored men in office, in journalism, and in the professions, gradually to oust the whites from commercial enterprise and public life, as preliminary to making exist ence generally impossible. The home government is over and over again in- duced to make and confirm appoint ments of men who, while apparently working in amity with their respective administrations and with the white people they hate, are really doing all in their power to subvert the white su- premacy, chiefly by pushing black and colored men (whose only qualifications are reading, writing and unbounded impudence) into subordinate positions, where they may hope to leaven the off cial lump.
 When ladies are pushed aside in the StTtcJS Dy DldCk lodlcrS, WneH tne black servant who steals from you al- most under your very eyes defies you to prosecute him; when officials of the highest character are libeled in public prints by men beneath the intellectual level of an English street boy and that in terms which, through interruptions intermediates, may actually pass tothe colonial office or even to the house of commons as the utterance of white men of position--the time has come to speak out plainly.
 No wonder that year by year the hopes of West Indian whites turn more and more toward the Unites States, not one of which is silly enough to allow the negro dangerous amount of com mercial or political power. So much for the disease. And what is the rem edy? asks the National Observer. Sim ply that the colonial office look to it that it knows in whom it trusts. Prop erly supported by the colonial office, a compact and well organized party of loyal English creoles and other whites in the West Indies might hope for per
