In substance as follows: I'VE affirm that
self-government and home rule in cities
involve local option in excise and other
regulations which require local public
sentiment for their fair enforcement. The
Republican policy Of ruling New York
and other great cities from Albany has
utterly failed; its sole defense of unifor-
nifty Of law throughout the state falls be-
fore the ridiculous fact that it is today a
crime to sell a drink, but not a crime to
shave, at one end of the Brooklyn bridge,
and a crime to shave but not q crime to
sell a drink at the other.

Washington. ID. c.. December o
Joseph d. White superintendent of the
railway mail service, has just conclu-
ded his report He presents an inter-
esting array of facts and figures in re-
lation to the letters which are carried
by Uncle sam Not the least import
ant portion OF Superintendent Whites
report is chat which relates to the safe
lighting of railway mail cars. For
several years pOstOfhce authorities
have pleaded with Congress TO adopt a
measure forbidding the use of coal oil
or similar fluid in lighting the cars in
which the mails are carried. In report
after report various superintendent
OF he railway mail service have called
attention to the immense losses caused
the government 10y reason of mail cars
and their contents being burned either
by the explosion or OvertUrning of kerr
0sene oil lamps when accidents hap
percd. Almost every week in one part
of the country or another such casual
ties occur. and as the report mentioned
fully shows, the greater number of
fires arising from railroad accidents
were caused bv the lamps with which
the cars were lighted. and only i'm very
rare Instances from the engines.
Tn his report Superintendent White
again makes vigorous demand for leg
islation that viii effecually prevent
the recurrence of such disasters which
involve such tremendous losses. He
says very justly. the leading bankers,
manufacturers. merchants and prom
iuont citizens of this county are very
strongly in favor greater care i'm the
transmission of the mails. because of
the immense loss and trouble caused by
their destruction iU railroad wrecks,
when thousands of checks and drafts
are destroyed, often taking years to
trace up and replace. Furthermore,
the average citizen. who after all pays
the freight. has q very decided inter
est In the matter from the fact that let
ters and mementoes are often lost
which can never be replaced. Every
business firm I'm the United States is
vitality interested i'm this question. be-
cause, apart from financial cOnsidera-
ti0ns. important communications and
orders are lost which cannot be dupl-
Gated and frequently can never be re-
placed. The leading papers of the
country. i'm view of the recent terrible
railroad wrecks and consequent loss of
life. are strongly advocating the use of
the best and most modern appliances
by an the railroad companies of the
country. because. while speed is a de-
sideratum, safety is still greater.

disfavor on The steel skeleton buildings
Maintaining that when exposed to a
bseh heat either from w.,hin or without
they would tear themselves to pieces
To- the great danger of surrounding prop
erty. and also to- the peril Of the hremn
who attempted to- control the fire.
During the period of the very low
price for steel or iron beams Mr.. Atkin-
sons saws in a recent report to his COM
paay many plans which were submit
ted indicated q tendency on the part of
architects TO substitute iron or steel for
heavy timber i'm some part Of the frame
Ir one or two instances steel beams had
been adopted in mill construction. which
leads Air. Atkinson TO repeat his caudon
as to- the danger Of unprotected iron or

Instances are cited where steel beams
have been doubled ana twisted out of

posts of the "T' form. on each side Of
which -wo-inch planks had been boi-ed

worthless condition by the heat Of the
fire. Fcurteen-inch square wooden
posts. exposed TO- the same fire, were
burned O. little less than TWO inches deep,
the ten inches remaining still sustain

As the true me.bod Of protecting iron
