ers of Paris opened up new world for
the French romanticists.
Beginning with Huyos Jean Vatican
in Les Miserables," and his wonderful
escape in the great sewer" strange
tales have been told time and again of
swift, dark boats in this modern under
world. The Partisan sewers stood as
shining mark for the rest of the world
for many years. Gradually, however,
American ingenuity and invention have
equaled and finally surpassed them
1t is not 50 very long ago that the city
of Washington built sewer twenty
feet in diameter. The great sewer" Of
Paris is but eighteen feet high and seven
teen wide And now there is being fin
iShed in Brooklyn one that will rank as
third of the working sewers of the world.
1t is third so fer us the size goes-that is,
being fifteen feet in diameter in places
but easily first when its plan and novel
method of construction are taken into
consideration.
Cities vary greatly in their sewerage
problems. New York, for instance, with
her few important hills and with
broad river on either side, is one of the
easiest municipalities in the world to
drain, Chicago, which proposes to build
the sewer of the globe when the Worlds
fair is out of the way, will not find it
such weighty task. But Brooklyn
was confronted at the outset with engi-
neering difficulties. The careless para
grapher of the east describes Long Is
land in many a jest and quip as utterly
flat" Yet that is not the case. It
abounds in many little hills, dales and

his party for increasing the duty on

he not endorse and defend the econ

of benefit to the farmer only in that

that our tariff system can or will
benefit the farmer if not through

Red River; lands that the St. P. M.
u N. R. R. Co., never owned and
to which the Great Northern never
had the shadow Of a title. In his
published opinions of the question,
when it first came up, Mr.. johnson
held to that view of the case. It
became necessary for the railroad
to persuade Mr.. johnson that he
was laboring under 'smisapprehen-
sion Of facts" and the next thing we
know, he is championing the cor
poratc interests, and contcnding that
an investigation would be unneces-
sary and cause delay. An act was
therefore engineered through con-
gress, on the representation of John
son and Casey, giving the Great
Northern $4,000 acres of land for
the surrender of title it never pos
sessed. Let us not inveigh against
the railroad company for its cum
ming; but rather ask Mr.. johnson to
explain why he changed his mind,
and what arguments were used.
