This country, though the boasted re-
public of the whole world, has to go to
distant lands to learn elementary prin-
ciples in the science of government.
Though our institutions rest ON univer-
sal suffrage, we ran for over ONE hun
dred years without being able to in
vent a decent system Of voting. The
most inventive people on earth in ev-
erything else, no genius could make a
decent ballot machine. Had to go to
Australia, which half a century ago
was a penal colony, to get ballot law.
Little Switzerland, perched up among
the Alps, and making no boasts, can
teach us in everything relating to the
art of democratic government. To her
we must resort for a method of keeping
power in the hands of the people. TO
Scotland, another small country, we
must go for a plan to govern cities.
Such Is our poverty in all that relates
to the greatest of problems, that Of self
government. But If there Is any coun-
try in the world that wants lessons in
misgovernment we can supply them
in exhaustless abundance. We do ev-
erything wrong, or, If we go right,
ii is by accident. Undoubtedly this Is
the worst governed country on the face
OF the earth. Nowhere else are re
forms 50 difficult to obtain. Our peO-
pie are conservative, politically to the
point of cowardlce and imbecllitiy,-z

This had made him despondent. Mrs.
Rogers was docking out of her window
yesterday afternoon, when she heard
a pistol shot in her husbands bedroom.
She found him unconscious from a
pistol wound in the right side of the
head.
A paint scaffold gave way at the

The people Of Paris will talk for
many a day about the wonderful din
ner party given on July rs at the Pa
vilion dArmenonville, famous restau-
rant in the Bois de Boulogne, by Rod
man Wanamaker the son of the mer-
chant and ex-politician of Philadelphia.
Twenty-Five guests partook of this
feast. twenty-five of the finest equip
ages which Paris stables could pro-
duce called ait the same moment at
the residences Of the guests, and then
brought them to the banquet han. The
list of guests included Count Bryas,
Count de Chazelles, Count la Roche
foucauld, Baron van Zuylen, the SON.
in-law Of Baron Rothschild. The deco
rations of the dining room were mas
velously beautiful. Luminous fount-
aims, planted upon great blocks of ice,
kept the air cOol.
The dinner itself showed splendid
disregard OF cost 1t was not one din
ner, but twenty-five independent din
ners separately served, one to each
guest. There was none of the mean
ness of the Europeans, who are not
ashamed, even when wealthy, TO make
a roast of fish do duty for the whole
party. Each guest had before him a
whole leg of mutton, whole salmon,
truffled fowl, a basket of peaches, and
a double magnum of champagne, be-
sides bottles Of wine of sacred vintage
and of fabulous cost. After the dessert
had been served waiter brought
around a black silk bag, into which
each guest thrust his hand and drew
out souvenir The souvenirs were
pearl and emerald pins, ruby links, gold
cigarette cases, inlaid with diamonds,
and other trifles of substantial value.
1t si assented that the cost of the entire
affair was close to $4,000.

and elevated railroads by the several
cities Of the state:
Whereas, The sentiment in favor of
municipal ownership Of franchises, the
profitS or which are large and come d.
rectly from the people of the various cities,
Is growing throughout the State to such
an extent as to demand popular vote
upon the question of municipal ownership,
and,

ture providing for submission to vote

Whereas, Tt has been charged repeat
edly in the newspapers Of Brooklyn and
New York that certain railroad comDan-
les in the city of Brooklyn have watered
to a large extent their capital stock and
have leased their roads to foreign cor
porations, and included in these charges
is the accusation that large sums of
money have been taken either fraud
ulently from the treasury or wasted by
the managers of the company leasing said
roads, and that the stockholders Of the
said companies have been unable to as
certain even the cost of construction of
the roads referred to.
The resolution provides that the
speaker shall appoint committee of
seven, whose duty 1t shall be to expose
the inner workings of all the surface
and elevatd railroads in all the cities OF
the state. The resolution Is sweeping
in its character, and directs that the
committee shah investigate all matters
pertaining to the cost of construction,
the expense of operation, the amount Of
the capital stock, the bonded indebted
ness, the general management, and all
other matters relating to the roads.
The purpose of this investigation as set
forth in the resolutions Is to give the
people of the various municipalities pro-
per information concerning the profts
of the railroad companies in order that
they may be in position to act intelli-
gently If they should be required to vote
upon the question of the municipal own
ership.
Worse and worse. A recent report
of the government botanist for the agri-
cultural department at Washington
deals largely with the subject Of weeds
and the immense loss that accrues to
the farmer and the country through
weeds; ending with a number Of i'm
portant directions for their eradication
and urging that these methods be in
corporated in our system of farming.
The department is also engaged in
the mushroom business and has several
years been experimenting with mush-
rooms, resulting in the publication of
bulletins on the subject Of edible mush-
rooms, their culture and methods OF
cooking. The investigation of the sub
ject is still being carried on and a
number of important results are prom
ished in a future report.
This, we confess, rather Outdoes popu-
lsm. 1t is in no way responsible for
the mushroom business, as that has been
carried on under the government for
years past. And we wonder where Nor
