Military Mem Unable to Solve the
Problem Presented.
ATLANTA, GA, March 11.-Military men
here are perplexed over the point OF in
validity sprung on the permanent camping
site act. and are anxious to know what the
effect Of its irregular passage may be on the
encampment expected to take place in June
of this year. The legislature alone can cure
the defects of the act, provided they render
it void, and that body does not convene till
July. The opinion has been expressed that
the troops can't take the field unless under
the old law, which provided for annual
encampments, and yet, that may be no
longer in existence, because the new one
may be not fatally detective, and if not it
repeals the old one.

up TO the matter early in the Cleveland adj
ministration, but Congress did not make
headway with it until near the close of
Cleveland's term. Under the Harrison
administration fortune has favored it by
the completion of several ships falling
within its first and second years and the
putting of several others upon the stocks.
Now we have the singular spectacle of
the Democracy, which clamored for the
new navy, growing and complaining
because of the necessary expenditure to
construct it. They would have their
cake, but without cost. The truth is that
the man who is not hide bound by politi-
cal prejudice, and whose partisanship is
for the right regardless of party, can see
that we do not and caunot build ships as
cheaply as does England. It is needless
to explain why, but the reasons are not
few. All the ships of our new navy have
been built under contracts let in COM
petition and openly, indeed with greater
publicity than obtains in other countries.
Thus far the ships turned out are credit
to US, and outside of the complainings
made by partisan opponents to the Ad-
ministration, no builder or other expert
has charged that the ships have been
built at extravagant cost, and no specifica-
ton in that direction has been given.

ARE WE GOING TO DO SOME
THING2

DR.. Balch, the Health Officer of Albany,
n. Y, and the authorities of that city,
have recently been prosecuting research
into improved systems for the disposal
of the sewage of that capital city. At a
meeting of the Health Board, held August
4th, the doctor reported that he had exam
ined the Worcester, Mass, system OF
chemical treatment. The system cost
Worcester $3.50, 200, and to maintain it she
expends $4,000 year.
This is the system that the RECORD
UNION Investigated, and at length ex-
planned. In that explanation we put
the cost Of maintenance at $50, 600 year,
which, according to DIR. Balch, is 81 900
too high. In his statement of the orig
cluded the fact that the sewage is con-
Quoted a very long distance in costly
outfau sewer, and that the works are
built to accommodate the needs of city
of $1,000 population, whereas Sacramento
would have to conduct her sewage from
the lowest sewer point but a few rods,
and we have less than $4,000 people,
Another important fact to be borne in
mind is that Worcester sewage is difficult
to handle, because of numerous manu-
featuring works in cotton, leather,
chemicals, ETC., that contribute the worst
kind of sewage.
DR.. Balch believes that Albany can set
up a system in line with that at Worces-
ter at greatly less cost. We are confident
that Sacramento can do it for one-third
less cost. DIR. Balch had visited, he said.
many cities and examined many sewage
disposal systems in the interest of AL
bany, and he returned to that city to say
that the tank and treatment system is the
best, the dried residuum being burned
or used as a fertilizer.
The question with Sacramento to-day
is, whether the Trustees are to sit all
summer and wear out their chairs with
out doing anything about permanent
sewage disposal system? Can these
worthy gentlemen this morning give the
public any good reason whatever why
these things should not be done this
summer? l. Ascertain what land for
tanks can be had; what will be its cost,
and the cost for necessary excavation.
2. Ascertain what will be the cost of ma
chinery, buildings and tank works-ap-
proximately. 3. Ascertain what would
be the cost of relating the present sewer
system, precisely as it is, to the settling
tanks. Now the ascertainment of these
things this summer will save US whole
year of time in securing the new system,
and will not cost the city a single dollar.
Why, then, is no action taken? Are we
10 go on pumping in and pumping out
and confning the heavy waste matter to
poison our soul and air, or are we to 'do
something as that noted June meeting
voted should be done?

WHAT with the fight against the lottery,
the activity of the Farmers Alliance, the
division of sentiment upon the sub
treasury scheme, the amending of more
than one State constitution, the wide di-
vision of public sentiment upon the coin
age propositions, the notable greater free
dom of political debate and activity, the
signs are that the solidity of the South is
breaking up. There are very many evi-
dences, both social and political, indicat-
ing a decided change throughout the
South, and broadening of liberal senti-
ment and tolerance. 1t would really seem
that the dawn has broken of the era in
which the ''solid South" and intolerant
embarrassments to good government
will be banished.
