A NOT.4BLE EXPERIMENT.

The experiment in municipal owner
ship which is to be made in LIVERPOOL
will attract attention all over the world.
The city corporation has bought the
street-car lines and omnibus routes of
the local company for .e567,375, good
premium on the market price OF the
stock, and proposes to operate the whole
system after August as a municipal
affair. The plan is to create sinking
fund from the profits of the enterprise
for repaying the purchase money, and
it is expected that after that is ac-
complished the city treasury will bene-
fit by the earnings of the city tram
ways and cabs.
Perhaps Liverpool will be greatly
benefited by this operation and perhaps
it will not be- In some places munich
pal ownership doesn't seem to be even
blessing in disguise. In Buffalo, New
York, for instance, the city has owned
the water supply for over twenty five
years, and, according to the Buffalo
Commercial, it is now only a source Of
additional and constantly increasing
expense, danger and complaint. The
Commercial says that Notwithstanding
the magnificent lake front and the adj
vantage of the current of the Niagara
river, every year the city is threatened
with a water famine, with increasing
danger from fire, with an increase in
insurance rates, although it adds, hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have been
spent for tunnels and engines and
pumps and reservoirs. In addition the
rates assessed are excessive, and the
source of constant irritation and pro-
test There is, of course, the usual
complaint that the water department
is worked for the advantage of what
ever partisan organization may be in
power and altogether" according to
the Commercial, there is nothing in
the results of the experiment to urge
the people of Buffalo to extend the
system of municipal supervision and
management to lighting, transportation
and other interests now served by cor
porate capital and enterprise that can
be held to their contracts and made to
live up to them or forfeit their char
tiers.

Each corner of the revers was fastened
with large ivory button,a similar but
ton marking the waist, and the small
sleeves were plain but for their strap
ped seams. If braiding We're preferred
to the lace as ornamentation for the
revers, it could be used with good re-
suits, a fine gilt braid being better than
black in this case.

one at the back of the belt and one

If the man who writes the history Of
the Legislature which is now doing bust
ness at Hartford does his duty he will
pay especial and flattering attention to
the very superior quality of the oratory
which is exhibited there, The other
day, inspired by consideration of the
soaring Bird of Freedom, oratory soar
ed to a height which it would have
troubled the aforesaid noble bird to
attain. Indeed, some Of it got so high
that it couldn't get down, and was left
soaring. Yesterday there was some
oratory concerning the abundance of
commissions in this State and one men,

that while eagle day" was and must
forever remain great day, there are
other days. This member, stirred to
the core by his realization of the use

and the need of more, let the fist of
oratory fly and hit prosaic fact a
Knockout blow in the solar pleXus.
This was the blow that did the work:

We hope the Atlantic ocean will de-

wish, and if it does we hope that timely
notice will be given so that those who

The Russian government has taken
measures to prevent the East Indian
bubonic plague from entering the Dor
ders Of that empire. A sanitary COM
mission has been created with a fund
of 100000 rubles to draw upon. An ex-
pedition Of medical men will be sent to
India to investigate the causes and eff
fleets of the plague. The pilgrimage of
Russian Mussulmans to Mecca or to
other places where the Shltes are wont
ITO resort for devotional purposes and
the visits OF Russian Christians to the
holy places of the east, have been for
hidden. 1t was reported that several
Indians who had come to Afghanistan
had died at Kandahar last December

interpreted by the commissioners, in
cludes stock in building and loan as
sociations and life insurance policies.
A bill to tax the latter failed at the re-
cent session of the legislature, but the
commissioners believe that the general
terms of the law providing for the tax
ing of credits cover these policies. Run
ming or partly paid stock in building
and loan associations, as also partly
paid and non-forfeitable life insurance
policies, are to be assessed as personal
property Credits from which deduc-
tions for indebtedness can be made;

as personal property ehattels," from
which no deductions can be made.

It has been objected that the modern
Jew is rarely farmer; that he prefers
to work with his brains, to turn money
over, to, engage in speculative occupa-
tions, rather than to work with his
hands. The fact is true in the main,
but it is capable Of explanation through
historic causes. It is almost certain
that we owe agriculture to the Se1hites
and iitris certain that the Jews were in
ancient times an agricultural people.
Their exclusion from SO many arts in
western Europe, their confinement for
centuries to a few callings and to mar
row areas, will sufficiently account for
their present speculative and some
what mercenary instincts. - - Oh.

of their ancient commonwealth. One
more land reclaimed from Turkish pow
erty and desolation would be gain for
the Jews and for the entire world. 1t
certain that the Turk will do nothing
with Palestine; it seems equally certain
that European rivalries will prevent
any one European country from coloniz-
ing it; why may not the true solution
be found in Jewish colonization? The
idea is attractive and it seems feasible.

An AutOcrRtic Ruler Who 10 Governed
by the VIII OF His People. 6.
The ameer of Afghanistan, who was
at first suspected of completely with
the Indian border troubles, But whose
innocence is now well established, is
one of the most autocratic monarchs
in the world. Not the czar of Russia
nor the sultan of Turkey is more abso-
lutte in authority, says the New York
Tribune. Yet he is, or makes himself,
curiousIy subject to the will of the peo-
pie in some respects. A few years ago
he greatly desired to visit England and
other European countries, and the Brit
iSh government was anxious that he
should do so, but he did not venture to
do so without the consent of his people.
So he took n plebiscitum on the sub
ject. He sent a proclamation to every
village in his empire, telling what he
wanted to do, and explaining the adj
vantages that would accrue to him and
to the empire from such tour, and ask
ing the people to take avote on the SUBJ
the subject was submitted to universal
suffrage. After few weeks the REL
turns were all in and were counted,
and it was found that considerable ma
jority of the people were opposed to his
leaving the country; He was disap-
pointed, but acquiesced in the will Of
the people, and stayed at home, send
ing his second son to England in his
place. c,sl : ~ Hat& -
