4 DISGRACE TO BROOKLYN.

Just without the eastern boundary Of Brooklyn
begins Il system Of splendid roads which have
been constructed In Queens County WITHIN me
last few years BY means Of these macadamized
thoroughfarcs large extent OF territory IS
made easily accessible 10 those who drive ana
those who ride Fully hundred miles q! mag
ni6cent roads have been provided in this part
Of Long Island. extending to Flushing and ltos
lyn on the north, and TO Rockaway. Babylon and
numerous other towns on the south. The main
highways were, properly looked after first but
not those alone. for there are numerous connect
ing and cross roads so that network ~ mac
adam may be said 10 cover This entire section
That the construction Of these roads has proved
satisfactory is made evident by the circumstance
that they are lust now being extended, partlc,i-
lary in the town Of Oyster Bay and in the dircc-
ton Of Far Rockaway. 1t Is not unreasonable,
indeed, to expect that at an early date all Che
principal parts Of Long Island Will be within
reach over smooth highways. Here will be the
true wheelmen's paradise.
So far good Now let us look al the other side
Of thesshield. 1t is a lamcnablc fact that these
fine drives are cut off both from this city and
Brooklyn by miles Of rough pavcncnis. The
shortest route from Ncw-Yorl TO this part Of
I ,
but as soon as one arrives In Long Island City
he finds that he must traverse fully three miles
Of cobblestones before reaching Il decent road.
Going from Brooklyn. the case Is scarcely bet
ter Here the wheclman after leaving the end
Of the Eastern Parkway, must follow a mscr-
! able sidepath for some distance, and then pound
along over rough granite pavement for three
miles or more until the city line Is gained where
the Queens County roads take their beginning.
As an alternative to three or four miles Of hard
riding, the bicycle rider can have his machine
carried by the elevated road IL he Is willing 10
! lug 1t up and down the siairways and pay n
modest fee for It's transportation But for those
! who drive there is no alternative True the cle.
waited road arrangement Is n great convenience
for women riders who wish 10 use the good roads
referred TO 1t is practically nccessiy-but
rightly viewed 1t is, as writer in the IL. A
w. Bulletin has pointed out, q disgrace TO tho
city that wheelmen forced to resort to the
elevated trains because the pavements Of Brook
Ign are so poor they cannot be ridden over
Is there no remedy for this discredltable state
Of things? Certainly there ought to be, and thu

Governor Werts recently appointed two men
as lay members OF the Ncw-Jersey Court OF
Errors and Appeals, seemingly for the purpose
OF securing two votes In behalf Of the Gluten
burg big Four in the Court Of Pardons. These
appointments have not been confirmed. but 1t is
expected that the Governor will in day or two
send the names Of Lay Judges Smith and Tai
man to the Senate. Talman. in particular IS re-
garfed with marked dsfavor. as he Is a Great ure
Of the notorious Thompson, known as the Duke
Of Gloucester" and there Is strong feeling In
favor Of rejecting both nominations. That treat
mcnt Of them would be deserved rcbuke OF
Governor Wcrts for the part he played toward
the Guttenburg scoundrels. Such abuse OF
power ought, by rights. 10 be made impossible.
1t is a grave scandal that the Court Of Pardons
can be manipulated IN the interest Of lawbreak-
ers.

him that his ward man, Burns, may be induced

The Catholic Church In this country does not
encourage inquiries into the amount OF Its secu-
lar possessions but attention is sometimes drawn
to the subject by events like that OF the recent
deposition, nominal transfer. OF Archbishop
Kendrck, OF ST. Louis. and the installation In
his place Of Archbishop Kahn. The place carries
with 1t the custody Of s50.O0O.OOO worth Of
property. the title to which Is personally held by
the Archbishop. with some limited and partial
power OF alienation. not considered good form by
the Church. but by no means unknown In its
history here and elsewhere. 1t is not surprising
that the retiring prelate. worn out with long
service should be no longer equal to place
involving so much temporal. as well spiritual.
responsibility. but the amount OF property ac-
cumulated during his administration Is an evil
dence OF his former business talents. 1t Is
mainly the accumulation Of a single generation.

Rev. c. o. Day preached last Sunday a
direct and practical sermon on the Brattle-
boro Young Mems Christian association.
1t was a sermon which concerns the whole
community, and in order to give it the pub
licity which it deserves, and make its sug-
gestions available, The Phoenix prints it to-
day with substantial completeness. 1t will
call out a diversity of opinion. Those to
whom the evangelical basis of the usual
association work forms the root and main
spring of the whole movement will not ap-
prove of it, Those who would divest the
work of all such connection, and free it
from all possible sectarian bias, will con-
slider Mr.. Days plan not sufficiently radi-
cal and thorough going. Others may find
reason for considering his suggestions not
adequate or altogether practical. But we
presume Mr.. Day does not himself con-
slider his plan final or unalterable. The
purpose of the sermon was evidently to
awaken thought, arouse discussion, and
call out constructive criticism.
1t is a fact which will scarcely be dis
puted that the association has not taken
hold on the young men of Brattleboro to an
extent commensurate with its plan of
work, that it finds financial problems and
difficulties which are not always easy to
solve and overcome, and that it has not
fulfilled its mission in other respects sug-
gested by Mr.. Day. That this is so fur
nj oh no
work of the association as whole, but it
does give ground for discussing possible
amendment. To promote such discussion
is the Office of Mr.. Days sermon. Be
cause Mr.. Day has taken hold on the life
of this community as few ministers have
ever done, because his strong and devoted
personality bring him into peculiarly close
relations with the young people, and be-
cause he has thought upon this subject
long and carefully and is thoroughly in
earnest about it, it seems worth while to
read and see what his sermon offers of
helpful suggestion.
To us the ideal way in a community like
this would be to have union or organiza-
tion on such broad lines as would COM
mand the confidence and support of all
good men and women, and whose purpose
should be to help young men in all those
ways in which they need help outside theil
homes; to keep them from vice and loafng
to help them to live clean lives; to fill them
with aspiration; to cultivate those whole
some influences which make men anC
women

brillancy, strength and correctness of the
narrative are assured by direct quotations
from the greatest writers on these several
themes. For the ordinary reader and man
of affairs, for the public school and public
library, and for all general reference pur-
poses, it forms complete record of the
worlds history; while for the student en-
gagged in extended research it furnishes an
outline and groundwork, with all sources
of information carefully credited, from
which he may extend his study into the
broadest and most detailed fields. An i'm
ment so that one may take up any given
period or topic, like the French Revolu-
tion, the Reformation, or the period of re-
form in England, and find the narrative
given in complete and continuous connec-
tion. Moreover, an hour spent with the
work in going over any of the great his
torical periods will show it to have been
so conceived and executed that upon what
ever topic the attention becomes fixed it is
held to the end with absorbed and inter-
ested attention.
1t only remains to be said that "History
for Ready Reference" has received cordial
and unqualified endorsement from author
tiles in matters historical, and from lead
ing educators, to an extent rarely accorded
to any work when in process of publica-
tion. Notable among these endorsements
is that of Prof Moses Colt Tyler of Cor
nell university, who is himself an author
and authority of the first rank in the his
tory of English and American literature.
81 have just spent an evening"" Prof. Ty-
Ter says, with History for Ready Refer
ence and Topical Reading, and have made
experiments in many directions for the
purpose of testing its comprehensiveness,
its critical value, and its accuracy. 1t is
the simple truth to say that the longer
these experiments continued, the greater
became my admiration for the ingenuity
and simplicity of the plan of this great
book, and for the good scholarship and the
good literary workmanship that have gone
into its execution"
Prof. Williston Walker of the Hartford
Theological seminary, whose training, abil-
ity and discrimination will not be called in
question by any Bratteboro reader, regards
the plan of the work as "nove and excel =
lent" resulting in "a presentation of his
tory that is at once vivid and compact"
He especially commends the method of
carefully crediting all sources of informa-
tion so that any given subject can be pur-
sued at the pleasure of the reader. En-
dorsements of this kind could be multi
piled almost indefinitely.
The publishers of History for Ready
Reference" are the c. A. Nichols company
of Springfield, Mass. Particulars in re-
gard to its style and price are given in a
publishers announcement printed else

Justice Field of the United States SUI
preme court has completed 80 years of ser
vice on that bench. President Lincoln ap-
pointed him in March, 1868, but he did
not take his seat until the 20th of May.
At the time of his appointment he was
chief justice of the supreme court of Cali
fornia, and waited to finish some work in
that position before moving to Washing
ton Only three justices have served long
er on the supreme bench than he-Chief
Justice Marshall, Judge Story and Judge
Wayne. Judge Marshall served "a years,
Judge Story 33 years and months, and
Judge Wayne 30 years and months.
Judge Field is almost 70 and his head is as
good as ever.
Scientists in London and Paris are study
ing with great interest the newly discovered
atmospheric gas to which the name argon
is given. NJ Berthelot, in Paris, finds
that under the influence of a silent electric
discharge, argon combines with various Or
ganic compounds, notably benzine. Sub
iccting a-gOn to an ordinary pressure, he
developed a greenish yellow huorescent
substance having a spectrum similar to that
of the Aurora Borealis. He concludes that
the northern lights are caused by atmos-
pheric argon converted into fluorescent mat
ter by electrical influence. Prof. Ramsey
in London has discovered that the suppos-
ed nitrogen which results from treating
with weak sulphuric acid that rare earth
found in Norway, known as Clevite, is moi
nitrogen but argon, and that with it is as
sociated an element long known theoreti-
cally (revealed by the spectroscope in the
suns rays, but never found before on this
planet)-helium.

enue which that tax was expected to fur

No Political or Sectional Lines I'm the
Decision.

The Springfield Republican says: "Politi--
cal lines cannot be detected in the division
of the justices of the supreme court on the
income tax law. There were three Repub-
licans and two Democrats against the law
and two Republicans and two Democrats
for it, the Republican members dividing
three to two against, while the Democrats
broke even. In the ordinary sense there
is no sectional line observable. Those
against hail from Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania, Illinois, Kansas and California,
while those sustaining the law come from
Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Michigan"
The geometry man of the Republican,
however, figures out the peculiar though
immaterial fact" that 'the states where
the five justices in the majority have their
homes stretch in an almost straight line
from east to west, through the middle belt
of the country, from Massachusetts to Cali
fornia, while those of the opposing four
stretch from north to south, from Michi-
gan to Louisiana, on line at right angles
to the other

All Work Under the Law stopped.

As soon as the courts decision was an
nounced the commissioner of internal
revenue sent telegram to all collectors of
internal revenue, notifying them to stop
work under the law and to send to him at
once under seal, all books, assessment lists
and records relating to the law.
1t is said that about $4,000 of income
tax money had already been paid into the
treasury. This money the commissioner
will at once refund to the payers.
The expense of getting ready for the col
lection of the tax has been about $50, 1000,
all of which is money thrown away.
According to the best information from
Washington the President will not call an
extra session of Congress on account of the
courts decision, unless the revenues should
still further decrease and the financial sit
uation grow decidedly worse than at pres
emf
