The Next Direction of New York De.
velOpment.

There has been an extraordinary i'm
provement in New York in the last
twenty years. The cityhas grown not
merely in population, but in elements
OF strength and greatness that count
for more than mere numbers. Archi-
tecturally there has been a change chat
amounts almost to a metamorphosis.
The city is better politically, cleaner
physically and morally, and more
healthy. 1t has developed wonder
fully as a centre of art and music. It's
theatres have multiplied rapidly. 1t
has completed several important pub
lie works ana has projected others. It
has commenced new bridge across
the East river and has splanneda greater
one across the North river. Its col
leges have grown into universities with
new sites and new buildings. Thous-
ands of acres for new parks have been
bought. A botanical garden on a
large scale is soon to be opened. And
to crown this record of municipal de-
velOpment, there is to be a consOlida-
tiOn with Brooklyn and suburban teri
tory, creating a city next to London in
size and wealth. with new character,
now being drafted ON scientific prin-
ciples and to be presented to the Legis-
lature for adoption on February 1.
But what will all this development
amount to if the city loses most of its
commerce? Something besides con-
solidatiOn, new parks, new buildings
and new institutions of learning con-
stitute the strength of city like this.
New York would not stand very high
on the roll of cities without its com
merce. New Workers are beginning
to realize that they must fight to retain
this commerce. Other ports are max
ing inroads upon its business. The
merchants are getting to be somewhat
alarmed over the matter. The 9,OOO,-
900 improvement of the Erie Canal will
help a great deal, but it is realized
that more must be done The next
direction of municipal development,
therefore, will be toward the creation
of new system of docks and of i'm
proved terminal facilities, One great
drawback to the city is that so large a
share of the merchandise it receives
has to handled more than in other COM
petitive ports. This increases the cost
and time involved in the transportation.
The harbor must beimproved and vari-
ous works done, which will involve ex-
pense, but which are necessary if New
York is not to lose considerable share
OF the business which gives the city

Mr.. Foster, of Ohio, formerly Secretary
of the Treasurery, regarding tariff
prospects and deeds, are interesting.
The ex-Secretary is qualified by his ex-
perience to speak with some authority
regarding the source of past evils, and
does not hesitate to say that the deficit
has been the principal source of trou-
BILE to the Treasury, and that it must
be remedied, and by tariff fairly de-
Tending home industries, before a gen.
eral and lasting restoration of prosper
ity can be expected Mr.. Foster does
not think that there will be an effort to
pass any tariff bill at the coming short
session, but that bill will be prepared
for consideration at an extra session,
which, he judges, the coming Presi-
dent will be likely to call as soon as
possible after his Inauguration.
In connection with this report it is
of some consequence that Senator
Jones, of Nevada, who has been one of
the most ultra-silver men in the Sen
ate, is now quoted as declaring with
much emphasis that he intends to act
with the Republican party in the sup
port of protective tariff bill. He does
not abandon his views regarding silver,
but has been an earnest protectionist
in years gone by, and in acting with
the party of protection again he will
only adhere to his convictions .-Ne1O

WASTE AT AMERICAN HOTELS.

The old saying that an old world
family could live comfortably on what
IS wasted by an American one similar
size is undoubtly true one. But the
waste of our private families is as moth
ing compared with that which occurs
at our hotels, restaurants, clubs.
and public institutions. Into the gar
bage barries go bread, meats. veget
ables and so on, which in each of our
large cities represented the value of
hundreds of thousands of dollars an
nually. In Europe all or nearly all of
this, as recent article in the Journal
HYgtene explains, would be utilized as
food for human beings. In the skill
full hands of specialists" in each
line, this material is converted
into very appetizing food-provided of
course, one is ignorant of its source.
In Paris, especially, have these ''Petits
meters incOnus" (small unknown
trades) reached great perfection. Here
are some of these unknown employ
ments. The ''boulangers en- vieux"
(second-hand bakers) are bakers who
gather bread crusts from the garbage
piles and convert them into ''croutons"
(little cubic crusts for soups. etc. The
"PilOns" (the ''pestlers' )are of a some
what higher grade. They buy stale
bread and by secret process thev
make the stalest bread almost as fresh
as when it first came from the oven.
They retail the loaves to restaurants
and eating houses of the lower grades.
The ''marchands de biioux"(
''jewerly merchants'D buy up the
scraps, the little bits and plate scrap
lngs of the restaurants, called in the
slang of the trade "arlequins" C'harle
quins'O These scraps are converted
into all sorts of dishes and form no un-
important portion of the business done
at certain markets in Paris. 1t is in
the hands of Wholesalers, for whom
the collectors gather the waste mater
ials.
Another class of experts 90 from res
taurant to restaurant, where they pro
duce upon the rather weak soups
served at these places the "eyes" of fat
so much admired by the gourmands.
They do this by taking a mouthful
of oil or grease and skillfully ejecting
1t In a spray over the surface of the
soup.
''Les Ecumeurs" (the Skimmers'D
work off the floating matters, oils, etc.
They also gather, among other things,
old cOrks which collect at the sewer
strainers. These corks are recut, and
largely used for many purposes.
Among other economic trades we NAV
mention the ''Bucheurs, " men who fol-
low the woOdcarts as they come into
town from the forests and pick up such
pieces as fall. These same people also
follow the charcoal wagons and gather
up the bits offuel.
While little more intelligent econo-
my is undoubtedly need in this country
we hope the day is long way off when
we shall be reduced to similar condi-
tions of frugality as those depicted by
the journal d 'Hygiene Sunday star.
