Yulcar Wealth.

The crazy and cruel Roman Emperor
Caligula made golden stable for his
horse and fed him gilded oats. 1t is the
climax of vulgar and wicked extrava.
gance to the modern mind. That hap
pened in the days of the decay and cor
ruption of the Roman empire.
1t is doubtful however, whether the
unprejudiced future reader of history
will consider the Roman emperor any
more insanely extravagant than some
Republican citizens of the United States
In the last quarter of the Nineteenth
century. Paupers have increased nine
fold and millionaires thousandfold
sinca 1860, we are told, Tho wealth
ing down hill has in many cases stuck
to persons with not brains enough to
spend it wisely. Having limited under
standing, they can only show that they
are somebody by display of wealth. 1t
is the lowest possible way of being some-
body. but it is all the thin Drained rich
know, SO they must be forgiven.
A golden stable for the emperor's
horse in old Rome is not q whit more
foolish than gold mounted railway cars
for American citizens to travel in in
1902. The only thing gold mounted cars
can do is to make vulgar display of
wealth which the owner has not sense
enough to put to wiser use. Perhaps
we shall have golden coal scuttles and
ash bins next. likewise golden cuspidors
and wash basins.
1t was the saturnine Dean Swift who
said that the Almighty showed his esti-
mate of wealth by the people he gave it
to. The barbaric degradation Of the
beautiful and precious metal gold by
those who do not know how to use it is
enough to convince one that Dean Swift
spoke the truth. The person who has
great wealth is bound by that very
fact to use all above his personal ex-
penses for the good of those less for
tunate. Public parks, libraries, beauti-
full landscapes, scientific investigation,
model homes for poor people, the con-
quering and reclaiming of waste lands,
providing homes for millions, the build
ing of homes for working people in the
country and furnishing them rapid
transit to their city factories-here are
magnificent openings for the investment
of wealth, and the new rich man goes
and spends his money on the golden
cuspidor aud golden coal scuttle plan.
He could show it off in a less vulgar
way if he would simply have it melted
into large lump, and have man hired
to carry it along behind him wherever
he went.

Good City Government.

Charles Francis Adams contributes 20
The Forum an important paper on the
improvement of municipal government,
using as an illustration some expert
ments in that direction which have been
made in Quincy, Mass. Mr.. Adams is
certain that in the founding of our m1-
nicipal system a grave mistake was
made. That was in modelling the city
government after the national one.
A state represents a political policy; mu-
nicipal administration the mere trans
acting of business. Paving streets,
lighting and seweTing them, taxing the
town for keeping mp schools. securing
the safety of the community through
policemen, and making the town beau
tiful through public parks are matters
chat each citizen cannot attend to en-
his own responsibility. Therefore he del
egates these duties to certain of his fel-
low citizens. That is all there is or
ought to be in municipal management.
The cumbrous machinery of our city
governments, with their top heavy
boards of two houses and the figure
head of q mayor are the worst machi--
cry that could be devised to transact
public business. City government has
nothing to do with politics. The true
model for city government should be
the successful private business corpora
ton, with its simple machinery of presi-
dent and board of directors. These meet
and plan out the measures which will
bring most prosperity to the firm or cor
poration. Exactly SO it should be with
city governments, the mayor represent
ing the president, single body of alder
men or councillnen representing the di-
rectors.
The ward system, Mr.. Adams thinks,
should be abolished. and the single
house voted for in body, as presi-
Dental electors are, no one citizen being
allowed to vote for more than two-thirds
Of the whole number, however. He may,
though, concentrate his whole number
Of votes on few members. This would
allow. the certainty of election for any
particularly desirable man in any one
locality Finally Mr.. Adams would
make the best men in community
serve as municipal officers, whether they
want TO or not. Jury duty is compul-
sorry; why should not municipal service
be also?
Tho puzzle the charter reformer has to work
out, IL he is going TO get down to the root Of
The matter, is some practical system which
shall secure the utmost political free play to
the individual citizen, and the representation
of ninorities In municipal affairs; having done
this-having thus set individuals free and
made minorisies potent-it will be for those
composing the minorities TO put their hands,

1t is curious but undeniable that
the horse car, the elevated train, do
affect the philosophy, the literature
and even the manners Of the day.
Books are printed with special refer
ence to the needs of a railway jour
ney. Titles are arranged to catch
the eye of the traveller as he hurries
by on an elevated station. Writers
are trained to present their subjects
in a way that will arrest the atten-
ton of a man who has only minute
to spare. How one should conduct
himself toward another is always
being discussed in reference to those
who sit beside one i'll a car or who
iostle each other at the ticket Office
Ones neighbor in Il ride down town
sets one to philosophizing on social
needs and distinctions, as the best of
reviews is incapable of doing. Men
are forced to study men, and so for.
get what solitude and nature have
taught those other men to have gone

Literary Value of "a Name.
A famous name in literature un-
doubtedly counts for something. 1t is
right that it should. Fame is the re-
suit of work-often the work of years.
1t carries with it a commercial value Oh
which no fair minded person can doubt
the Justice But that it is the ''all es-
sential" in a manuscript is utter folly.
And the best evidence of this fact is
that each week sees the articles, stories
and poems of our best known authors
rejected in the editorial Offices through
out the country But Of this the young
author knows naught. She judges
only from THAT she sees printed. She
is in ignorance of the fact that manu-
scripts are often returned TO the most
famous names. Edward W. Box in

The Bridgton Library.

Architect Tompson has got out his
plans for the Bridgton Library. The
building will be of wood, two stories in
height, with hip roof. The size will be
32x52 feet on the ground. In the corner
over the front entrance will be tower
IS feet high. The first story will be
clapboarded and the second shingled.
Above this is a frieze in plaster work
On the first floor will be the library room
and reading room, which will also be
used as museum, and a public hall that
may also be used as dining room. A
large hall occupies the second floor. This
hall is to be provided with large and
conveniently arranged stage, having
dressing rooms on both sides. In the
ante-room will be the ticket office and
other conyeniences.

Living HaIna,

The late DR.. Hills famous game
Halma, sometimes called 'sHopperty," is
to have living exposition at the Second
Parish vestry this evening. The floor
has been layed off into a checker board
about SO feet square. The movements of
the men in Halma are about the same as
in checkers, except that men when
jumped are not taken from the board
AT the start the men are in the corners
of the board, the test being the quickest
transfer of all the men from the corner
where they start to the opposite corner.
The boys of the "Lend Hand Club"
will act as men, with two gentlemen of
the Second Parish society as players.
There will be no dancing steps as in the
living game of whist, but the jumping
movement will be after leap-frog fashion.
The idea is original with the club, and
if successful as it promises to be, will
doubtless be tried in the City Hall where
the large floor, and galleries for specta-
tors, will furnish better opportunities.
