MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION IN
ENGLAND.

The new school of municipal admins
tration in England enters into the life OF
the people. 1t not only takes upon it
self the improbable side of the local
budgets, out argues very plausibly that
a well-governed municipality can afford
to give no privileges by which corpora
lions may enrich themselves at the ex-
pense of the community; that slch pro-
Ats belong to the community at large or
should be used to promote the general
welfare.
Beginning with the NATURALIZATION of
gas and water, the idea has extended to
tramways, markets, baths; Libraries, pic
ture galleries, technical schools, artisans
dwellings,. cricket fields, football
grounds, tennis courts, gymnasia for
girls as we'll as boys, regulation OF re-
freshment traits, free. chairs in the
parks, free music, and last thoug not
rights of John Bung himself and mu-
nicipalize tine gin shops and public
houses.-North American Review for No

CORK TREES In GEORGIA.

About t~hirty-five years g several

SOCIAL LIFE OF A CHURCH.
The Obliteration of Some, Not All,
outside Social Lines Is Required.

We should understand that a whole
some social life in a church does not in
volve an obliteration of all that divides
men and women into groups outside the
church., writes Mrs. Lyman Abbott IN
November Ladies' Home Journal. 1t does
mean the obliteration of some OF those
lines. Except while under the power OF
an absorbing interest, degrees OF inteiiec-
tual cultivation, tastes, habits make COM
partnership agreeable or disagreeable. 50
while men and women of diverse char
acteristics may work together happily
under the stress of a pressing need, may
sing together the same hymns, may JOIN
in the same prayers, they may not at all
agree in minor matters of daily living,
and, therefore, constant intercourse
would not be desirable. A friendly feel.
ing. expressed in word and deed, does not
make it necessary that "Fishin' Jimmy,
noble Christian though he be, should IN
Kite Mr.. Gladstone to visit him, nor re-
quire that Mr.. Gladstone should ask
Queen Victoria to invite "Fishin jim
my" to one of her State dinners. Lady
Aberdeen has proved to us that there IS
a possible fellowship in the home which
transcends both intellectual and social
distinctions, without obliterating them.
And the church should exemplify the
same truth.

KAFFIRs IN THE PULPIT.
Interesting Evening at Simpson M.
On - Good Stories.

Interesting Evening at simpson M.
H. Church-Some Good Stories.
Five Kafirs, who are being trained at
Millerford University, Ohio. for mission
airy work among their wi people,. were
at Simpson M. e. Church last evening.
They go from place to place, giving en-
tertainments to raise money for their
support while here. Their names are
Edward Mlaygayd, Chalmers Katiyd,
James Akolomce, John Radasi and
Moyazo Saki. Maygayd speaks English
iuently.
Last night the five sang Christian
hymns, swaying their heads oddly IN
time to the music. Katiyd told the
story of their conversion, and how
Bishop Taylor sent them to this coun-
try. He spoke in the Kaffir tongue,
but Maygayd interpreted for him. He
related an a%necdote where a Missionary
was reading that portion of Scripture
where the unseen voice speaks to Saul,
saying saul. Saul. why nersecutest
thou me?'' and when the interpreter had
conveyed the words to his countrymen,
they all began to laugh. The missionary
asked the interpreter what they were
laughing at, and he replied, Al the
passage of Scripture He was then
asked TO repeat IN EHSIlSn tHe WOluS ipc
told the Kaffirs, and he said, salt, salt,
why are thou in the soup, and ! taste
thee not?"
He told the story of a Kafir chief who
was converted and wanted to join the
church. but would not be permitted to
do so because he had two wives. Not
knowing how to get over the difficulty,
he ate one me OF mSals5 up, +; ana abe eh eh,, again
In conclusion he spoke of the large
quantity of liquor which was sent to
Africa from this country and Great
britain. He said that in almost every
seaport town along the African coast
could be seen one hundred drunken men
to every sober one.
The quartette then sang in their ma
tive tongue a hymn composed by a
Kafir. entitled THE Great God" after
which DIR. Halloran made a few remarks.
and the service closed.

some Temporary water supply

Figures.
The journal has been jubilating the
Hast day or two over the defeat of the ap-
plication for a writ OF certiorari to re-
view the contract for q temporary water
supply. 1t has been particularly elo-
quent about the stab in the back which
the petitioners, according to its idea,
tried to infict on the city.
We wonder if the journal and the
other advocates Of the temporary supply
have ever thought the matter out. We
have some figures to help them form an
opinion as to where the ''stab in the
back" comes in.
III amount of water which the East
Jersey Company will be able TO give us will
be about eighteen million gallons a day.
This is about three-fourths of what we
need. The rest will LAY to be supplied
by working the Belleville pumps about
one shift a day-that is about eight
hours, or the days work for one set of
hands.
The price we are to pay East Jersey
is s4S a million gallons. Tha amounts to
STA a day. Anyone can verify these fig
ures for himself. But STA a, day is $685.
$40 per year. This is what we will have
to pay East Jersey.
The present cost of maintaining and
running the Belleville plant. three shifts
a day. is about $50. 900. BY stopping two
pense can be saved-say $50, 600. AS soon
as East Jersey gets its pipe line com
pleted, however, we shall lose Bayonne
as a customer, and Bayonne pays us
about $4,000 a year; therefore we have
only a net saving of $50, COO to look for
ward to.
Deduct this from the $2S2,510 which we
are to pay East Jersey and we get $780,
$40 as the net increase in the expense of
our water supply. AS the Water Depart
ment is now just about s-elf-supporring.
this increase in expenses becomes q de-
icit-a deficit, we will say for the sake
of convenience in figuring, of $250,00e.
Under the Law of 1888. in virtue Of
which this contract is made, this deficit
is to be met by taxation. Let us see
what effect it will have ON the next levy.
Assume we get the new water by Feb
ruary 1, next. We will have to pay for
ten months supply for the fiscal year
ending December l, 1896. That will
be a deficit of about ten-twelfths of
$500 O0, or about $500, 900 to go into the
Budget made up next July. Besides. pro-
vision must be made in advance for the
deficit of about $780, 600 for the water
purchased between December 1, 1896, and
December ]. 1887. Therefore, a total APP
preparation of s450.O0O. or Whereabouts,
must go into the tax levy of 1867.
This is an increase for that year of
about twenty per cent. in the tax levy
1t viii raise the tax levy to about 500
on the thousand.
We wonder has the Journal figured
this out? Has the Board of Trade?
Has the Finance Board? Have the Su-
preme Court Judges who so summarily
refused hat writ of certicrari?
