pertaining to the public health. The
necessary to health, and it was the right
and duty of the council to close the school
long enough for those changes to be
made. But it would not have been justi-
fed in keeping it closed any longer.
Some other changes may be desirable. but
these, if made at all, should be postponed
until they can be made without robbing
the people of their right, or any part Of it,
to use this building for the purpose for
which it was built
During the course of thsse hearings
there has been an attempt to make it APP
pear that some favoritism was intended
to the schools in the western part of the
city. The gentlemen who made such in
situations may have believed them If
they did they must have been disabused
of that idea by the hearing of yesterday,
for every gentleman from the western
part of the city who spoke, and they were
kall sincere and straightforward men,
denied in the most forcible language that
they asked anything for their schools
which they would not cheerfully advocate
for every school in the city. andlone went
to the extent of practically advising the
city council not to spend a cent on the
Butler school until the Monument street
school was put in good condition. If the
people who have been making these in
situations were playing the demagogue
and trying to excite i'll feeling between
the sections of the city in the hope that
ithey might in some way profit by it, OF
some one else suffer from it, they
are deserving of nothing but contempt.

THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

The series of town meetings IN regard
to the sanitary condition of the school
buildings came to an end yesterday. The
final meeting was in many respects the
most interesting of the series. and the
audience that was present received good
deal of valuable instruction and not a
little entertainment. The point directly
at issue yesterday was whether the city
council should sustain the report of the
committee on public buildings, which
was in favor of making all the changes
suggested in the supplementary report of
the board of health, or should limit the
changes to such as the board had specified
as necessary to protect the health Of the
pupils. In the course of the hearing there
were some suggestions of Inconsistency
on the part Of the board of health in
making their two reports, but fair con-
sideration of the circumstances shows
them to be unfounded. In their first re-
port the board specified such changes and
repairs as they deemed essential for the
safety of the pupils, and stopped there.
The additional recommendations they ex-
pressly stated were made to quiet pub
lie clamor, and they averred at the time
they made them. that they did not regard
them as essential to the health of the
children. 1t might have been. wiser if
they had refused to go further, in re-
Spouse to public clamor or anything else,
than considerat ions of health which are
the true limit of.tbeir powers, would have
impelled them, but in the light of the ex4
PLANTATION accompanying their second re-
port, they cannot fairly be charged With
inconsistency or with vacillation.
After full hearing the council decided
to go no further in the making of changes
in the school than the first report of the
health board suggested, and this on the
whole we believe was the wisest course.
Indeed we are inclined to go further and
take the ground that it was the only
defensible course. 1t was not satisfactory
to everybody, but it was doubtless more
satisfactory than the alternative would
have been. And it was justified by the
circumstances. A school building is for
the education of the children of the people
1t is built and supported by the tax
payers for that purpose. Nobody has a
right to shut it up and thus deprive the
people OF its use except for the very best
of reasons. If an epidemic were raging
in the community the city council would
be justified in closing it to prevent the
spread of contagion, ..and in keeping it
closed until the epidemic had subsidized.
II its condition were SO unsanitary as to
threaten the health Of the children then
there would be sufficient ground for
closing it, The judges of the school
building, SO far as it's sanitary condition
is concerned, is the board of health, and
it is upon the board that the city council
must rely. Unless the board is shown to
b incompetent the council ought to be
euided by its recommendations in matteys

the stretch from Alaska to VladiYostock,
including the waters of Behring strait,
which has in the narrowest place a
breadth of seventytwo to eighty kilOme-
tres. This place would be chosen for
the crossing of the projected road. AS
Behring strait is blocked with ice during
the long winter, crossing by means of
ferry would be interrupted, so that the
strait must be bridged, or, what is more
probable, tunnel must be made under
it. One could then travel by railway be-
tween New York and ST. Petersburg, or
any other European ca ,ital, by through
ticket and without change of cars, avoid
ing the ocean voyage, that is a bugbear
to many travellers. These are the plans
their realization is hardly visible yet.

New York TO St. Petersburg.

The construction of railway between
America and Europe is an idea that has
been recently preached. 1t was suggest
ed by the fact that the Russian govern
ment has undertaken the building of the
great Siberian railway, and has pushed it
so theoretically that the whole line will
probably be completed by 1901, instead
of 1904, as was at first announced. The
line, which crosses Siberia and so the en-
tire northern half of Asia, and traverses
the Ural range at its southern extremity,
leads from VladivoStock, the Russian
naval station on the Pacific, to Moscow
and st. Petersburg, and so on to Ger
many. This fact has set the inventive
American to thinking that, with the help
of the Trans-Siberian railway, direct
all-rail line from Europe to America may
be constructed.
To this end new road must be built
from Chicago to Alaska, forming the con-
tinuation of existing lines from New
York to Chicago. There would then be
railway communication from New York
to Alaska and from Vladivostock to st.
Petersburg, and there would remain only
