DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
He Wants Figures,

Commissioner Wright Of the department
OF labor writes to the Commissioners today
that he has found II impossible to obtain
an estimate. under the census Of 1890 OF the
population Of the slum districts of the city
OF Washington, for the reason, as given nv
the census officials, that practically all the
Sums are located In alleys. and the census
enumeration districts cover several squares
rendering any calculat ton o. the alley bop
ulation mere guess work.
He requests the Commissioners to direct
the superintendent Of police {, furnish his
department with the fgir.s for the popula-
ton OF a number Of alleys embraced n the
SUM district. Commissioner Wright SAYS
he desires these figures for use in am inves-
dgation ordered by Congress.

DECIDED IMPROVEMENT.
The Situation in New York From the
Savings Bank StandpOint.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-It is now almost
a month since the organizations Of savings
banks in New York and Brooklyn decided
to avail themselves Of the right accorded
to them by law to insist upon depositors
giving notice of their intention to withdraw
deposits. The thirty-day notice was the
one generally adopted. although a few of
the banks made the limit sixty days.
People who thought they could not live a
moment after thirty days without drawing
their money take an entirely different view
of the situation now and there is not a saw
ings bank In either city but has received
numerous letters recalling the notices of
withdrawal. The time limit has prevented
all trouble and now the banks are ready
to meet their customers. The general state
bent Is that the deposits are increasing
daily and that with a week or two Of i'm
provement In the financial condition every
thing will be in good shape again.

THE CASE OF BULOZ.

The Buloz scandal in Paris astounds
the intellectual world. The journal Blu
loz edited, the ReUue DIES Deur MondeS,
was the brightest and best of models for
cleanliness, purity of tone. high moral
standard and all that. And now it turns
out that Buloz was whited sepulcher;
that while he preached morality and
paraded it in the ReUue, he was in the
hands of the Philistines, who black
mailed him right and left under threat to
reveal his scandalous doings in violation
of his marriage vows.
Buloz has fled, his wife has been
granted a decree of divorce, the Buloz
Academic Salon is closed, and the mag
nificent Buloz palace that was the resort
OF artists, literary men, scientists and
politicians, poets and statesmen, the ac-
complished, scholarly and brilliant, has
no open doors, and its windows are barri-
caded against public view by cotton
screens.
OF course, the corporation of the Revue
will remove Buloz, since he sold shares
enough to meet the blackmailing de-
mands to reduce his interest to one of
non-control. The paper will not go
down-it is of the most valuable of re-
view property in Europe; it was founded
and built up by the father of NJ. Buloz
and left to his son with an untarnished
escutcheon. The elder man had no
literary culture, but he had cunning and
"a nose'' for good matter of the highest
order that il paid to print. He managed
to draw to his columns the most famous
writers of the age, Lamartine, CASTELAR,,
Dumas, George Sand, Theirs and a host
of famous people and the best art and
dramatic critics of the era.
Buloz, the elder, was close-fsted, I'M
progressive, unrelenting. He had no
friends and few kindly words were ever
spoken of him. But he had the business
tact suitable for the conduct of his re-
view. His son came into the property at
time when by the change of Govern
ment he was able to drop the political
features of the review, which his father
had mistakenly adopted, and as result
it became wholly artistic and literary
and greatly augmented its power and
money making capacity.
such a journal will not die because the
editor proved to be a hypocrite; fortu-
nately he did not make it alone; the men
who did the best work will continue to
stand by it. OF course, the escapade of
Buloz will for time injure the Rec1te,
but as it is greater than its proprietor
ship, 1t will soon rise superior to him aud

The attention of the world was sharply
called TO sanitary matters last year by the
prevalence of cholera in Europe and its
threatened outbreak in this country, and
as a consequence there has been an al
most universal interest taken in all sub
jects connected with the cleanliness and
the health of cities. No part of this COM
piicated sanitary problem has been more
carefully Investigated than that OF the
disposal of refuse matter or garbage, and
toward the solution of none have more
various attempts been made.
Two scientific methods have been pre-
scented for the disposal of garbage; one by
incineration and the other by desiccation.
The first Of these has received much
more attention than the other, because it
is simpler and promised cheaper results.
II has therefore mainly occupied the
minds of those who worked at such prob
lens, and as consequence large num-
Der of cremating furnaces have been de-
vised for burning refuse, and many of
the more progressive cities of the Union
have adopted them with considerable
success. The desiccating process has not
been so prominently put forward, but its
advocates claim for it decided superior
ity over any possible process OF crema-
ton. That it is not so simple to appear
ances does not imply that it may not
prove to be more simple when scientific
be so cheap at first cest, it may yet prove
10 be more economical in its results, mas
much as the desiccated garbage has
high value for fertiliZing purposes.
The difficulties in the way of applying
the principle OF desiccation have hereto
fore prevented communities from at
tempting it, but it is now said that sys-
tenn based upon that principle has been
successfully operated at Blissville, y. y.
The main feature Of the method is said to
be that it works automatically. All veg
etable and animal matter as collected is
dumped into air-tight tanks, from which
it does not emerge until completely dis
infected by volatile substance 1t is
then devoid of grease and putrid moist
ure and reduced to pulp, which requires
slight additional drying to make it a mer-
charitable article in the form of fertiliz-
ing ingredient. 1t is claimed that in the
operation of the process all foul odors and
gases are condensed and destroyed, and
that there remains nothing obnoxious in
the material when taken from the tanks
into which it was dumped
The advantages claimed for desiccation
over the cremation of garbage are great,
and. since the Common Council is now
engaged in the consideration of this
problem, 1t might be well for it to obtain
some fuller information in regard to the
Blissville experiment before deciding to
adopt any one of the many cremation
furnaces that are offered.
