True Policy.

There are about $500, 900, 900 Of green
backs and treasury notes in circulation
in the United States, which are re-
deemable in coin and which has by all
administrations been construed to be
paid at the option Of the holders in
either gold or silver, and they have in
yariably demanded gold. For the pur-
sose of redemp tion there has to be
kept in the U. s. Treasury a reserve
fund of 500, 900. 900 in gold. and as fast
AS they are redeemed the law requires
them to be paid out again in order not
to contract the currancy any more
Spectators buy this paper money and
drain the gold and then they are paid
out again. and the spectators holding

Vandalism.

A few negro boys from an adjoining
farm desecrated the familyo grave
ward of Hon. j. r. Cameron this week,
searching for buried treasure. the ne
.proes believed buried there by the
elder Cameron. The graveyard. was
surroupded by brick wall with iron
Openings, and the vandals were easily
entrapped, having been given away sy
another negro. They damaged some
of the fine tombs aud monuments. The
negroes were fined $50 and imprisoned

Congressman Morse makes public
the following statement explaining his
attitude in respect to the republican
nomination for Congress in the 18th
district:
To the voters of the 18th Congress
ional district: On the l1th day of last
April | addressed from Washington
letter to the voters of this district,
stating that, owing to the condition
of my health, 1 doomed 1T proper to
give long and timely notice that l
would not be candidate for re-elec-
ton. / have never recalled that let
ter or authorized any one else to re-
call it. The situation is this: In con-
sequence of my letter of withdrawal
of April last and of my private and
personal assurances at that time, of the
most positive character, that | would
not again be candidate, other gentle
men have entered the field as candi-
dates, and there seems to be only one
honorable and manly course for me to
pursue, /. e., to reaffirm my letter
from Washington of last April, and
say that I am not candidate, and it
is the duty of the convention to select
some other gentleman as their repre-
sentative in Congress.

Ihere Is now project ON foot to
girdle the earth with cable wire.
The plan is to start at Vancouver Isl
and and run first to the Fiji Islands
and thence to Australia. Within the
memory of man the Fiiis have not
been safe place for white man who
was fat enough to tempt the appetite
OF savages. But the world moves at
breakneck pace i'll these days, and
nifty years effect as many changes as u
couple OF centuries did in the long
ago. For that matter, if you compare
the long ago to the sweet by and by,
you can't help feeling that the human
race has been acquiring a tremendous
momentum which will carry it nobody
dare predict where. There are diff
culties in laying a cable in the Pacific
which are rather appalling. As for
the Atlantic, you can reach bottom al
most anywhere by going down from
twelve to fifteen thousand feet But
when you get to the Pacific, you must
have plummet with line from
eighteen to twenty-four thousand feet
long. The difference is serious, but
still the project will undoubtedly be
successful.

Monument TO John Hancock.

The unveiling of the monument to
governor Hancock in the old Granary
burying ground was somewhat marred
in its outdoor spectacular features by
the inclemency of the weather, yet the
ceremony lost none of its impressive
ness, nor were the addresses made on
the occasion wanting in either histori-
cal suggestiyeness or patriotic inspira-
ton.
The memorial is a shaft of granite,
designed and constructed in a spirit
eminently worthy of the man and the
deeds which it commentaries. 1t is
simple and chaste, like John Hancock
it betokens strength and power in its
Massachusetts, stone, as did the life of
the patriot the same qualities, and the
arrangement Of construction shows
beauty and purity so marked in the
character of the great American. The
shaft is located on the western side of
the old Granary burying ground,
aud about it the exercises were
to have been held, the inclement
weather, however, necessitatlng
change in this portion of the pro-
gram. Therefore the Park street
church was used for the purpose. A
pavilion had been erected near the
cloth-bound monument, but it was not
used.
The slab is Is feet high, of Tennes-
see marble, with base of pink gram
ite. 1t is In the form of a Greek
stele, the top having a decorative
rendering of the Hancock coat of
arms, with the motto. "Obesta prin-
cipiis." just below is wreath of oak
leaves, surrounding bas-relief of
Hancock, taken from a portrait by
Copley, now in possession of one of
the family. This head was modelled
by Mr.. ii. Cairns, the sculptor. The
likeness is said to be very striking, and
adds another to the list OF Mr.. Cairns
successes The monument was carved
in marble at the establishment of John
Evans. The inscription reads: This
Memorial erected A. ID. MDCCCXCV.,
by the Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts, to Mark the Grave of John
Hancock" 1t stands over the family
vault,

According to Professor Kochibe the
recent earthquake wave which over.
whelmed several towns in Japan was
was caused by huge displacement OF
strata not far from the northeastern
coast line. The professor says that il
has been known that along the coast
OF kamaishi, Miysko and Ishimski,
and extending as far north as Chlshi
ma, a hollow has extended measuring
approximately about 100 miles wide
by 300 miles long. The depth of this
huge bed, or hollow, varied from 300C
to 1865 fathoms. 1t is supposed that
the walls of this enormous bed have
fallen in and that the tidal wave was
caused by it. To the same causes are
attributed the enormous earthquakes
and vibrations which occurred at the
same time.

Gypsy Moth Appropriation.

A recent circular called attention to
the work of the caterpillars in Fort
Hill square, and recommended that
the trees of the city were of more I'M
portance than those of the country.
The following letter shows plainly that
the state board of agriculture cannot
be held responsible for this condition
of things:
The circular published would seem
to imply criticism upon the course
of the state board of agriculture in its
work for the extermination OF the
gypsy moth. The board has no choice
as to the course it must pursue. The
law and appropriation under which 1t
acts restricts the work to the gypsy
moth in the following language: "Ihe
state board of agriculture is hereby
authorized, empowered and directed
to provide and carry into execution
all reasonable measures to prevent the
spreading and to secure the exter-
mination of the ocneria dispar, or
gypsy moth, in this commonwealth. "
(Chap. 210, acts of 1917 The APP

termination of the gypsy moth.

Mr.. Henry Wardwell of Salem, are to
be the new judges for the superior
court provided by act of the last Legis-

so much was understood, how
ever, concerning the progress of
Mr.. Wardwells candidacy. The lat
ter is we'll known and respected in

confined to that territory. Mr..
Wardwell is thoroughly equipped for
his new office, and brings with him q
judicial mind and even temperament.

Boston seems consoled for the state
of things which prevents the throwing
of campaign flags to the breeze in
our busy thoroughfares when it reads
of the embarrassment OF campaign
bunting that is now displayed in
Broadway in New York. A Bryan
flag having been hung out in the dry
goods quarter on Broadway, all
the merchants have undertaken to re-
taliate by hanging ont Mckinley flags
at frequent intervals through this
great avenue of trade. The result is
that Broadway is swaddled in red, white
and blue, with occasional flashes of
sunshine through the riffs in the
bunting. No campaign flags at all is
better than this.

Curious people who have had an in
terest in the kite flying experiments OF
Mr.. Eddy at the Blue Hill observa-
tory, near Boston, by means of which
photographs have been taken by
cameras sent up attached to the kites,
have wondered what could have been
the real achievement of use by these
experiments But it appears from Mr..
Eddy's report that the value of the
kite photography in time of war, either
at sea or on land is very great The
kite plan costs far less than that of
balloons, and the cameras can be kept
above local point in strong
winds, which would press a
balloon downward and force the gas
out of it, destroying its buoy
ancy. Encampments can be seen be-
yond very high hills The photo
graphs taken at height of several
hundred feet above the Blue Hill OBJ

An appeal for beauty in utility was
made by Professor Frank 0. Marvin,
of the University of Kansas, in a paper
read by him before a section of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science at its recent session
in Buffalo, n. Y. In this matter, Pro-
fessor Marvin pointed out the engineer
has opportunities before him since he
has come into such prominent posi-
tions before the community. In this
country the quick development, the
intense scientific feeling, the desire
for immediate profitable results have
given the people little opportunity to
be other than practical. Into the
midst of the fray comes the engineer.
His training, the necessary character
which must underle the making of an
engineer, the culture, the openness and
clearness of mind which must be his
attributes, fit him to be man whose
opinion will be respected, and in whom
one may have confidence. 1t may
seem at first sight that there Is con-
flict bstween the utilitarian and the
artistic, but this is by no means true.
Expenditure of money will not secure
beauty as a necessary result, while the
proper display of good taste may often
come without the need OF added ex"
pense. In the beautifying OF mun'cl'
palities, Professor Marvin continued,
the engineer will find his greatest field.
Here is where it is needed most, Tor
utilitarianisna steps in everywhere and
cities seldom take full advantage of
their possibilities. In the handling of
water supplies there is an example OF
what the engineer can do. The gate
houses, aqueducts, and dams are de-
corat;vely treated, and an engine
bouse of attractive exterior Is the rule.
There are some Improvements possi-
ble in the standpipe, but there are
also many examples where these have
been made really an attractive feature
in the landscape Professor Marvin
be,ieves that there is a latent aesthetic
fea,ino in American life which is strug
cling for expression, and further than
this. that it is the field and the duty
Of the engineers to help this quality
to its highest fulflment'

This season marks the opening of
another school year for Boston. 1t is
cause for congratulation that no
cheated term" is coincident this au-
tumn with the resumption of duties
which claim the close attention alike
of pupils and instructors. 1t cannot
be said unfortunately that there
is ''room for alp in our public
schools. Not few will be deprived of
their right to educate for lack of ac-
commodation. Still, it is something TO
know that conditions are decidedly
better that they were last year. There
is perhaps some room to hope that a
twelvemouth hence no child of suit
able age who seeks admission to Bos-
ton public school will be turned away
for lack OF room, A host of little
people will enter the schoolroom in
vastly better trim physically than
when they left it in June last. Our
vaunted system of education" will
not be all that it should be until it is
so managed that book learning in all
its divers forms can be gained without
the possibility of iniuring the health
or overtaxing the zeal of the rising
generation.
