The word displacement" as applied
% war ships is the quantity Of water OF
liquid displaced by a ship or other
coating body. The weight of the dis
placed liquid equals that of the floating
body. Thus the New York has a dis.
placement of 0, 100 tons (more or Less,
while her tonnage capacity would be
much less. A war ships capacity is
less than its displacement; it is the
other way with passenger vessels.

Of that member in a full grown man.
Some say that 1t was SO called from the
length of the foot of a certain English
king, but 1t Is believed to have been a
standard of measurement among the
ancient Egyptians. The cubit is from
the Latin cubitus. an elbow, and Is the
distance from the elbow to the end of

The opening Of the streets is imperstiveiy
demanded By the steady growth OF the
city. Indeed. oEe OF tine most effective
means Of assisting the city's growth and
prosperity Is the increasing OF the opp5rtu-
mites for building dwelling houses. AS
long es the streets leading to the localities
where comparatively cheap building lots
can be obtained are DISTRACTED, there will
be hesitation in building new houses.
Why the city council has always pursued
policy of delay in opening the streets is
one OF the things for which there seems 10
/ be no reasonable explanation. Experience
has demonstrated that delay means an ad-
ditionai expense 20 the city. Every year
that the opening of the streets is delayed
the greater the cost OF opening them be-
comes.
The council has always seemed to be
afraid Of permitting some one to make
something by opening the streets. But how
are the streets to be opened without benefit
to private interests9 The land needed for
streets must be paid for. The question that
presents itself this: Can the land be OBJ
tanned for less money now than year or
two years hence. If SO, there ought to be
no hesitation in buying it. There is no one
who doubts that the streets could have heen
opened five years ago. and even
they can be now, and they can be opened
now for great deal less than it will cost to
open them five years. or one year, hence.
In proportion as the city becomes built up
the price of land within its limits increases.
The owners of land that is needed for
streets are in no hurry to sell their property,
because they feel certain that the longer
they wait the better the prices they will get.
But what difference does it mike if, by
the opening % the streets, a number OF citi-
Gems should be benefited They are certain
to get pay for their land, however long
they wait, and the increase in the value OF
land is so great that they find it profitable
to wait
Each city council seems to be progressive
enough in respect to all matters except the
opening OF the streets, but as to that mat
ter the policy of each new council differs
very little from that of its predecessor.
Notwithstanding the obstructive policy of
the council the city is growing. The evil
dence Of its growth between Anderson and
Twelfth streets is remarkable. There are
now more houses between these boundaries
than there we're between CASTOR and Ander-
son streets Fifteen years ago. Had the
streets teen opened when the limits OF the
city were extended there would now be
very few vacant lots in that section, and
next year when it will be subject to city
taxation the city would have reaped the
benefit Of a far-sighted policy.
II is not the purpose to call attention to
nor regret the mistakes of the past, but to
urge the adoption of a policy that will avoid
such mistakes In the future. There should
be no further delay in opening the streets,
not only to the south, but also to the east
and west. They should be opened beyond
the city's limits, because the cost Of opening
them beyond the limits now would be al
most nothing In comparison TO what it will
be in the near future.

Mr.. Gledstone's Homo Rule Bill
The discussion Of Mr.. Glads.one's home
rule bill for Ireland will soon be discussed
in the English parliament and Mr.. Glad
stone seems confident THAI it wilt be passed
Ii is evident from Mr. BalHour'J remarks in
parliament on Tuesday, however, that the
opponents of Mr.. Giadstones government
are going TO use every means in their power
to defeat il. MIR. Balfour is one of the
strongest leaders of the opposition, aud the
sneering manner in which he referred to
the home rule bill nettled Mr.. Gladstone
who, in reply, reproaohed Mr.. Balfour for
assailinR the measure with infammatory
criticism before it had been introduced, and
for endeavoring TO prejudice the minds OF
the people against it before he knew It's pros
visions.
There are grounds for thinking that the
bill will be we'll received by MIR. Gadstone's
party. The criticisms of it in this country
have been rather favorable than otherw Sc
1t is 10 some extent the application of the
federal system to the government by the
United Kingdom, but that system is not
extended to England, Scotland and Wales.
1t applies only to Ireland. Neither do tue
colonies have any part in 1t. If It should
be adopted, however, it would be the be-
ginning of the federal system, and 1t might
be extended gradually.
1t establishes parliament for Ireland but
the English ministry retains an absolute veto
ON the Irish parliament and a general over
sight of Irish affairs. The number of Irish
members in the English parliament remains
the same as at present, but they have a
voice only In federal matters. They are
therefore, shut out frorl any part IN En-
glish and Scotch local affairs. If the bill
should become q law Ireland would have a
connection with the English government
something like state OF this country has
with the federal government at Washington,
but English authority would he more
strongly felt in Ireland than federal author
ity is felt in a state OF this republic.
The bill will be changed considerably, in
all probe bility, before the discussion of il
is finished, but the changes will not be Of q
radical character. Doubtless Mr.. Glad
stone is prepared to make some concessions.
The party at his back is not strong enough
to justify him in assuming an aggressive
attitude.
1t is sincerely TO be hoped that some se.-
Element of the Irish question will be reached.
II is question that is not without its dis
turbing influence in the politics of this
| country as well as in the politics of Eng
land.

Ntr. Clere1anc.s Silver Policy.

Those who talk with Mr. Cleveland say
/ that he is extremely anxious that this con-
/ gress shall repeal the Sherman silver pur-
/ chase act No one quotes any expression
Of his on this subject, and few days ago,
when a reporter asked him if be favored
the repeal Of the act, he declined TO speak
on the subject. 1t is certain that he is not
as outspoken ia respect to silver as be Is in
/ respect to the tariff. because be does not
/ hesitate to say for publication that one Of
the chief aims Of his administration will be
TO bring about the repeal OF the Mckinley
tariff ard the adoption Of ouch tariff
| legislation es will remove from the people
some Of the burden of taxation.
But because he is not as ontspoken con-
corning silver as he is about the tariff, it
doesn't follow that he is not extremely
anxious for the repeal of the silver pIr-
chase act. IF he we're not anxious for the
repeal of that act he would not be loyal 10
the platform upon which he was elected.
He is not yet in position to exert the
full measure of bis influence in regard to
any public matter, but unless his friends
are putting him in false position he is
doing his utmost to get democratic repre-
sentatives and senators to act up to the dec
larations Of the national democratic plat
form relative to silver. Within the last
day or two Senator Carlisle has
been trying to impress upon democratic
congressman the necessity for repeating the
silver purchase act before this congress ad-
journs, and Representative Cochran, who is
understood to speak for Mr.. Cleveland on
the silver question, has been doing the SHINE
thing.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland re-
CARDS the silver situation as threatening
disaster TO tho business interests of the coun-
try. There is an uneasy feeling in financial
circles caused by the steady outflow
of gold. For weeks the state
ment has been given out that the
shipments Of gold to Europe were
about ended, but still the shipments con-
tinue. Every few days it is announced
that a Europesn-bound steamer carries
several millions of dollars Of the precious
metal. The prospect of a cessation Of the
outflow is no brighter now than it was two
or three months ago.
The Democratic party is pledged to re-
peal the silver purchase act. Democrats In
congress should make an effort at once TO
carry out that pledge.
