To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The own
ership and operation by the Government of
works OF public utility is in direct conflict
with the principles Of Democracy as laid
down by Jefferson. In the early days OF the re-
public tho Federalists sought TO engraft it on
our institutions rs a permanent feature OF ad-
ministration. With that object in view they in
vested in a copper mine over in New Jersey for
the purpose Of making all the copper that WINS
required in the navy yards. Down at Harper's
Ferry, II my memory is not aslray. they had an
iron mine. from the product of which cannon
for the army and navy were to be manufactured.
As may be naturally expected. these two holes
In the ground yielded iron and copper in the In.
verse ratio to the amount Of gold and silver put
into them. When jefferson became President
he closed them up and bought copper and iron in
opon market for onc-half the sum paid by his
predecessors.
But the fundamental principle on which he
set his face against all enterprises OF this char.
actcr was that they did not come within the
legitimate domain of Government, national.
State. or municipal. He reprobated the paternal
theory in every form whatsoever and believed
that the people. left to themselves. could better
manage their own affairs than could tho Gov
crnment manage for them. Corruption In tho
public oficcholders was one of the great evils he
feared from the embarkation of the Government
in public works. Capitalization OF power was
tho second one. and in the combination of the
two he foresaw tho ultimate overthrow Of re.
publican Government.
The various projects of ownership and rcgula.
ton. now sought to bc placed In the hands of
tho public authority. are so stupendous In their
magnitude, so intricate in their machinery ard
30 colossal from u financial point of view. that,
were unhappily tho policy carried out, the
foundation would no laid for the most over.

The Platform Ready.

When the great Republican Convention
of1s98 was about to meet there was pro-
found anxiety regarding the platform on
the money question. Would 1t be wabbling
or clear, crooked or straight Fortunately
It was clear and straight.
This year the platform is ready made for
every Republican organization met to nom.
mate candidates. 1t is the st. Louis plat
form, the opposite of the Democratic plat
form Of Chicago. Every Republican body
everywhere is bound to put it at the front
of its campaign, and therefore to choose n
sound and unmistakable champion Of it as
the candidate.
That is why all original Republicans,
and all whom the force Of circumstances
has made allies of the Republican party,
look forward with satisfaction to the ex-
pected Republican nomination of BENJA-
MIN F. TRACY for Mayor Of New York.

ton and the scientific adjustment Of

the Anglo.Indlan journals denounce this
inopportune action as "insidious" and
tending to unsettlc tho accepted position
Of Indian States. as a fragrant breach
Of treaty rights and presenting a grave

wa carried through by a secret bureau
without reference to Parliament or to the
Queen In Council. and solely on the author
ity OF the Secretary Of State, and, IA one
journal remarks, raises the question "by
whom IL India governed7 7"
The natural result lie that suspicion Of tho
good faith Of the British Government has
been reused among those native Princes
who have reason to know that their own
tenure Of sovereignty stands in danger Of
scientific adjustment, and so adds to the
internal difficulties that the maladminis-
tration of India has rolled up for the British
Government and people.

A difficulty sometimes encountered in in.

all that It Ia able to prove, and at tho same
time to bar out what it's opponent may be
able to prove. 1t would be wise for Japan
to avoid even seeming to drift n this at
titude. Her true policy would appear to
be that Of facilitating arbitration instead
Of obstructing and delaying 1t. Points that
seem to her too clear for dispute can, for
that very reason, be allowed to go to a
competent arbitcr without hesitation II her
adversary insists. 1t seems highly probable
that within q few months Hawaii will be a
part of the United States. and then 1t is
certain that her immigration treaties and
all other treaties with Japan will lapse.

Just why leaves change their color in the fall"

red and blue. When the sap ceases to flow in
the autumn the natural growth of the tree 10 re-
tarded and oxidation OF tho tissue takes place.
Under certain conditions the green Of tho leaf
changes to red; under different aspects it takes
on a yellow or brown hue. The difference in color
is due to the difference in combinations Of the
original constituents of the green tissues and
to tho varying condition Of climate. exposure
and soil. A dry, hot climate produces moro
brilliant foliage than one that is damp and cool.
This is the reason that American autumns ara
SO much moro gorgeous than those of England
and Scotland.
There are several things about lenves, how
ever. that even science cannot explain. For
instance, why one o. two trees growing side by
posture, hould take on u brilliant red in the fall
and the other should turn yellow, or why ono
branch OF a tree should be highly colored and
the rest OF the tree have only a yellow tint are
why one member of a family should be per-
fectly healthy and another sickly. Naples and
oaks have the brightest colors.
People should be careful not to touch tho
gorgeous red and yellow autumn leaves or
to be harmless. Our two poisonous nativo
plants display the most brilliant autumnal

she goes on to assert broadly that There

upper classes dwelling in the large cities OF

preceded the suit" There will always be n

extraordinary error Of fact, however, in
the Contemporary article, and tho last to
which we shall refer, Is presented In tho
following statement: Cup to the last third
of the century divorce was the exception

mad" But it is very far from being the
truth. II Mrs. ATHERToN will be at the
pains to glance at the latest available
statistics concerning the number Of mar
riages and the number Of divorces In the

latter constitute but an insignificant per-
