The Presidents workshop and Home.

Colonel Wilson, the engineer officer in
charge of the public buildings and grounds
at Washington, is again urging the impor-
tance of providing suitable offices for the
president outside of his residence. The
president of the United States who Is one
of the busiest men In the world, is proba-
bly, the only one who still maintains the
old custom Of transacting all his business
at home.
At the time when the executive mansion
was built this was quite usual. Stephen
Girard had his counting house in his resi-
dence and every one can remember when
lawyers, bankers, insurance men and
others carried on the business in the lower
rooms of their dwellings and when even
merchants of considerable importance lived
above their shops. This system has been
outgrown for many years. 1t is only the
president who is compelled not only to
work at his desk, but to consult with his
cabinet and to receive all manner Of Off
cial visits In the rooms adjoining those In
which he and his family live.-Philadel-
phia Times

MISUNDERSTANDING AMERICA.

Mr.. Phelps Dodge, whoever he may
be, goes out OF his way to write to the
London Times that Chauncey M. De-
pew is in error when he pictures the
American people generally as in favor
of Home Rule for Ireland. The neces-
sity OF politics, Mr.. Dodge says, in
duces such pretence, but q large ma
iority OF our citizens and the best of
them are decidedly adverse to Irish
independence.
This is absurdly incorrect. The
sympathies OF our people are with the
oppressed under all circumstances.
Their hearts 60 out to all who struggle
for their rights. They sympathize
with the Cubans, who are fighting for
freedom. They sympathize with Ire
land because OF the wrongs she has suf-
fered from English rule for long years.
Mr.. Depew is right. Americans do
favor Home Rule for Ireland because 1t
is q simple act of justice, and because
our own institutions are based on that
great principle and we believe our in
stitutions are the best for all men all
over the world.

validity and constitutionality OF acts OF
Congress, then his power is greater
than that OF the President, the Con-
gress, and the Supreme Court COM
bined. The law in question appropri-
ated q certain sum to pay the American
producers of sugar the bounty on the
crop Of 1894. The controversy and
facts relating to the passage OF the act
will be remembered. All the points,
however, had been fully debated and
consi i1ered by Congress, and the appro-
priation was the result of deliberate
conclusion ,of the law-making power
arrived at in the light of all the facts.
And this is the law which Mr.. Bowler,
an accounting officer Of the treasury,
tells us he proposes to repudiate and
nullify. The next question is what
shall be done in this anomalous and ex-
traordinary condition of affairs. 1t is
certainly an absurd and intolerable
situation if mere subordinate OF an
executive department can overrule Con-
gress and the President. Perhaps, al
ter all, Congress needs some sort OF a
legal guardian like Mr.. Comptroller
Bowler But il this be the case it is
important for the legislative welfare OF
the country that the new executive du-
ties of the comptroller be promptly
incorporated in the Constitution.

TO USE REFUSE.
Electricity and ssteam Power to BE Pro-
duced by Using the Waste of Large Cities.

duced by Using the Waste OF Large Cities.
The subject OF how to realize some bene-
ct and profit from the refuse and rubbish
Of cities is one that is engaging to a largo
extent the attention of sanitarians and en-
gineers, and there is decided opinion that
the turning of waste into wealth is prob
lem that will very shortly be solved on
practical lines, in spite Of the doubts re-
Gently expressed by Colonel Waring, the
samous street cleaner of New York.
In England especially this question has
been taken up and discussed with much
earnestness The outcome, according to
writer in recent numbeIDtof Chambers
Journal, is not merely the adoption of the
system of cremating the refuse, but at the
same time to use it as fuel in the genera
ton of electric power. The project Is one
that seems to be entirely feasible. 1t Is
found by reliable statistics that London
alone produces /, 500, 600 tons of refuse per
annum. All this vast accumulation has
hitherto been going to waste. Conveyance
to the sea was practiced with success but
it involved the expenditure Of good deal
of energy and money. Under these circum-
stances the adoption of cremators, In
which the rubbish Is wholly consumed by
fire, came more and more into favor, so
that at the present moment the majority
of the principal English cities are either
constructing or about to construct the new
refuse cremator. Much heat is necessarily
evolved in the destruction of the refuse,
and the idea is now gaining ground that
such heat may be largely and advanta-
geously utilized in the production of steam
power and electricity, instead of being per-
mitted to run to waste.-Buffalo CONNER

sugar bounty Of 1894, breaches q ques-

money was duly appropriated by Con-

President, and now Mr.. Bowler, sub

The New Woman.


The shades Of night were falling fast
As through the crowded streets there passed
A creature not to be described.
Who bore aloft shield inscribed
The new woman.
Her trousers were little wide,
And Just a trihe short beside,
As forward on her whoel she dashed.
While on the startled vision flashed
The new woman.
Her brow with evening dew was drenched,
Yet tight the handle bar she clenched.
And never dropped the banner bold,
Which showed alike to young and old
The new woman.
"Oh, stay" the young man said. "and res,
Your weary head upon my breasti
You surely cannot farther 60"
A voice replied, "You do not know
The new womau."
"Avoid this path. e" the old man called.
''Its dangers have strong men appalled,"
Again proud cry foated back,
"You can't keep in the beaten track
The new woman"
"Beware the politicians fate
And turn back ere it ia too late."
But ever high above the din
"Coms what may, this vote shall win
The new woman"
The timid crowd bewildered sat,
And many sighed, where are we at'"
One man was bold enough to try
TO follow where before did fly
The new woman.
All night he rode through darkness vast
And ever anxious glances cast,
But speed OF his could not avail
To catch upon her dizzy trail
The new woman.
And when at last the morning broke
In bitterness toese words he spoke:
'Tis plain I'm distanoed. and the race
r hers by right Of rapid pace.
