VERY WORMY.

DIR. G. H. Duncan received a
letter yesterday from the Smith
sonian Institute asking about the
long fishing worm he found and
if they could get it. The Doctor
will have to disappoint them as
he did not keep the worm, but
left it in Ohio until it attains its
full growth. 1t was only 80
inches long when the Doctor dis.
covered it-Fairmont lnder.

THE DUTY ON PULP

Among the iniquities that the Dingley
bill proposes to foster none should arouse
the antipathy of the people more than
the increased duty on paper pulp, when
it's significance is realized. The bill
increases the duty on pulp from an ad
81 per ton, to a specific duty of 1-12 Of
cent per pound, or $1.66 per ton, This
change in duty is equivalent to an in
crease of about so cents per ton in the
cost of paper, or 21s cents per 100 pounds
The Canadian government threatens
to retaliate by placing an export duty
of SO per cord on logs, thereby adding
about Is cents per 100 pounds to the
cost of white paper
The tax, besides checking the inpor-
tation of a raw material for American
manufacturers, will prove a serious
drag on popular education. To consid-
erably increase the cost of white paper
means to considerably decrease the cir
,culation of cheap literature. Cheap
DOCKS ana cnedp newspapers Win III
longer reach every home in the land.
The simple advantage of the proposed
duty will be, like SO many of its fell
lows, to make provision for a trust.
The mill owners in New York and New
England who for two years have been
scheming to form one gigantic combina-
ton or paper trust, will doubtless find
this new tariff a convenient aid.

FOR CHEAP Ism NACKSv

The mayor yesterday vetoed what has
been called the "tamale wagon" ordi-
nance, and the council sustained the
veto by a unanimous vote. This is the
ordinance prohibiting the travelling
lunch wagons which sold anything else
streets before O'Clock. This matter has
been agitated before the city council in
termittently for some years past, and
has generally been brought up on the
petition of the keepers of the cheaper
class of restaurants, who claimed that
the wagons materially cut into their
receipts, for the reason that as the ped
dlers had to pay no rent, or other ex-
penses, beyond a nominal license of
dollar a month, they could afford to dis
pense the odorous Hamburg steak and
the succulent ham and eggs at prices
which effectually shut out even the
cheapest restaurants.
AS this street kitchen industry has
become quite feature of the city quite
= number of taxpayers and voters being
engaged therein, his honor gives his rea
sons for vetoing the ordinance at some
length He very pertinently remarks
that none of the men engaged in this
business, so far as known, are growing
rich; in fact, the most of them make but
very moderate wages, even for day la
borers, and for this reason he thinks
that they should not be molested. Be
sides, they furnish clean. wholesome
food to class of people who are too
poor to patronize even the cheapest res
taurants, and for this reason they fill a
long felt want. 1t seems impossible that
any restaurant should need protection
against these very modest establish
ments on wheels, and when it is consid-
cred that many of the men who run them
have invested the few dollars they have

HIGHLAND Uniforms

When the Seaforth Highlanders were
landed in Crete the other day as one of
England's contributions toward the
i'pacifcation' of that island, an aston
ished resident of Gambia is said to have
exclaimed: "If the men dress like this,
how do the women dress?" This anec-
dote has recalled one that dates from
Balaklava. After that battle a Rus
sian general asked an English prisoner
who and what the queerly dressed SOL
diers were whose "thir red line" had so
contemptuously repulsed a charge of
the Russian cavalry. Instead of an
swering that they We're Sir Collins
Highlanders, the man replied "Those?
oh. those are the wives of the men on
gray horses" The linen on gray
horses" of course, were the Scots Grays,
who had on the same day taken part in
the charge of Scarlett's heavy brigade,
and scattered a huge mass of Russian
cavalrymen.

THE GRANT MONUMENT

Today the Grant monument at New
York city is to be dedicated with SOL
emn ceremony and the dust of the great
leader will be deposited in its last rest
ing place. The mighty and the honored
of the nation will be there, and the oc-
casion will be one to be remembered as
long as the tall shaft and the massive
tomb shall resist decay
Still. the dedication is a local af-
fair. The history of the monument does
not appeal to the national pride as it
might. But that matters little. Like
Abraham Lincoln, General Grant
has his greatest and most en-
during monument in the hearts
of all the American people. In
the hearts of all, because the silent
hero has no more sincere admirers than
the people r. the south, in fighting
against whose cause he won his great
est fame That such should be the
case is a splendid tribute to the Ameri-
can character
Nor should we grieve that we have
fallen upon decadent days, because
there seems to be in the land none now
like Grant, like Lincoln, like Washing
ton. The lives of these men are in
themselves a protest against such a
pessimistic assumption The occasion
provides the man, not the man the oc-
casion.
Let the crisis of war or any vital
struggle come upon the American peo-
pie, and there shall arise men to meet
it; there shall be one to take the helm of
the ship of state and guide it to safe
harbor. Out of all the greed and the
selfishness, out of all the Indifference
and the incredulity that make painful
display in critical times, there shall be
one to rise above them all, one with a
master hand and a guiding mind, to
become another Grant in shaping the
history of our republic.
This is the lessen that the lives of
such men as Lincoln and Grant should
teach us, and it should give us an abid-
ing faith in the enduring nature of our
institutions.

A Commonsense Statement

utter depravity of the city. Just now

TICKLE FRANCHISES

Among the petitions read before the
city council yesterday was one from
Herman de Laguna, asking that an cleo
trdc railroad franchise be offered for
sale. The petition is printed in full In
another column, and from the route over
which the franchise is asked, 1t looks on
it's face like "cinch" proposition. The
route is over Brooklyn avenue, Bridge
and Also streets, after which it weaves
in and out in quite bewildering maze.
for few blocks around all the lines of
the existing companies. There is no
question that the people Of Brooklyn
Heights and all that section of the East
Side are badly in need of street railway
facilities. and they should have them.
but the franchise asked to be advertised
does not seem to be the proper thing, and
besides, there are other propositions now
pending before the board Of public works
of real merit, which make the new
scheme superfluous 1t is also instruct
i've to recall the fact that Mr. de Laguna
is the enterprising young promoter"
who deftly engineered a telephone fran
chise through the last council which
eventually came TO naught because the
young man was unable to unload his
find in time to save it. There has been
too much pirating in the way
of franchises. and the council should be
certain that there is reasonable prob
ability of the enterprise being success
fully fioated before they tie up valuable
privileges for speculative purposes.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
NON-PRoDUCER

The world has seen nothing like the
growth of the United States during The
last thirty years, and it is doubtful if
any feature of that growth is much more
marvellous than the increase of the nom
producer. Until about 1855, when lager
beer became an institution in the United
States, the saloon, as we know it. was
almost unknown. In the east liquor
was sold almost exclusively at the tav-
ern. To obtain a license one had to
keep a hotel or tavern, as it was called,
or some of his family, and occasionally
the hostler, waited at the bar. Outside

The work Of taking the city census is
almost completed, and the 100000 mark
has been reached. But this is not
enough. 1t is estimated that at least
5000 names have not been enrolled by
the enumerators, and these should be
secured by the first of May, If such
thing is possible. Any citizen who has
been overlooked by the enumerators
should at once communicate with the
city clerk. When it is considered that
one whole block was overlooked by ali
enumerator and the omission was only
discovered by accident, it will readily
be seen that the number of names esti-
mated as having been overlooked, is not
unreasonable.
