Ibsen.


Ibsen's mastership as an artist be-
comes still greater when II is considered
that many of his subjects are not by
themselves dramatic, but rather epic
novels. In decisive moment the char
acters simply speak for themselves to
each-other, and the threads of their
lives are laid bare by what they say.
Thus nearly the whole dramatic effect
is reduced to our interest in getting to
know him who speaks and him who lis
tens, but that is only possible as the sto-
ny goes on, now and then interrupted
by an event which carries it further in
another manner. Really we are pres.
ent at kind of cross-examination, but
the issue is not how he got her or why
he did not get her. The issue is about
life and death, and that gives every
word such an Importance that we are
afraid of missing the finest shading in
the expression. In such manner of
composition there is, however, some
thing queer, and Ibsen will hardly have
many imitators. Forum.

Disposal of Sewage in Birmingham.


One Of the worst features under the
old management was the disposal Of
the sewage. By way Of remedy two sys-
tens have found adoption. Under one
the Health Committee collects the offal
of houses, and either destroys it or
turns it into fertilizers. This is more
offensive and less successful than it
might be made, but is apparently n ne
cesSity until the pan system has been
abandoned. A sewage farm of nearly
1900 acres has been developed several
miles from the city, some 400 feet lower
in elevation. The sewage, first mixed
with lime to prevent too rapid decom-
position and to assist in the precipita-
ton of the solid matter, is passed
through a series Of depositing tanks,
during which process the mud is re-
moved. The remainder Is dug into the
land, one-third of which is dealt with
each year, the etluent being discharged
in a harmless state into the river Tame.
Upon the other two-thirds are grown
early vegetables, and grain and hay
for cows kept for milk and market.
The net annual cost to the city is about
f24, 000. Century.

| Not since the campaign of 1860 have
the political issues of the day attract

be the best thing for the country, and
they are given in such way that
meaning the same thing everywhere
and not construed in such way as to
suitsthe prejudiees of different seer
tions of the country. The republican
and democratic parties differ widely
in their views as given in their plat
forms, but each affirms that it is of the
utmost Importance to the country
that the questions at issue are decid-
ed in the right manner. They tell the
people that the question of right and
wrong is involved and both parties
appeal with equal ardor and appar-
emily with equal sincerity to the con-
science of the people. That it Is a
question of right and wrong is surely
true. The earning and payment of
fair wages with just relations between
creditors and debtors, and the equit
able treatment of different classes of
producers and consumers are truly
moral questions as we'll as political
ones, and the people must be educat-

guish the difference between honesty
and dishonesty.
