Two Questions.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Is it not within the authority of the City government, or, if not, of the State legislature to compel the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company to continue the satisfactory service of the various lines of the former New Haven Street railway?
 Does the company exist for the ac- commodation of the public? or, having had much of it's capital given to it at the outset in the shape of valuable franchise, does it now continue to exist, as if it was a private business firm, for the sake of making money for itself Let the public answer.
 N. B-The Schutzen Park track was cleared of the recent snows only to the town line. The Edgewood Avenue line is now cut down to a half hour sched- ule; somewhat short-sighted policy considering how it has built up already largely the western section of the city and town-with an increasing outlooK for the future.

.AN IMPORTANT REPORT.

The report of the Board of Finance on the expenditures for next year is an interesting document. It is the result of much hard work and one result Of it will perhaps be some hard feeling. But the taxpayers will appreciate whatever effort has been wisely made to cut down expenses. The total amount ask ed for by the different departments was $1, ,SS9,9S0.57, and the total amount allow ed is s15Oo, ,2S3o5. The principal suf- ferers in the estimates are the depart ment of public works and the depart ment of education. The former asked for $236, 6,SS6.15 and got $160,510. The lat ter asked for s5S3,7S5 and got $3S3, ,365 Such differences indicate that there is something inappropriate in either the asking or the giving, but if the Board of Finance can show as good reason for refusing as the departments can for asking those who pay the freight will be apt to side with the Board of Finance.
 The Board of Finance has evidently tried to do a good thing for the new charter city, and the fair presumption is that it has done it. Of course those who wanted more to spend will think they actually needed it for the good of the city, and there you are.

HE WANTED THE AFTERMATH.
Rice Aroused His Eloquence, But Not
 His Appetite.

Rice Aroused His Eloquence, But Not
 His Appetite.
 He had all the appearance of hobo from Hoboken. He called at West State street residence this morning, and when the woman of the house re- sponded to his rap at the side door, he bowed low and said
 Just bit of the aftermath, if you please"
 Whats that you say?"
 "A mere remnant. a shred, of the Thanksgiving turkey left over from yesterday"
 Touched with his politeness and the elegance of his diction, as we say of the minister, the woman passed through to the kitchen, returning in a moment with a cup of rice and an apology.
 I'm very sorry" she said, but the turkey is ali gone. The best I can do now is to offer you this rice and a piece of bread and butter"
 Rice, is it, he said, with the same bonmomie, as he took the proffered cup and stirred up the contents with the spoon. Rice is indeed most popular food product. It has been known to man for many generations. Chemical

TILE MESSAGE

The Presidents message is long. It took two hours and eighteen minutes to read it to Congress yesterday About half of it is a thorough review of what happened just before and during the war.
 Those who expected to find In the message a statement or discussion of the policy of this country in the gov ernment of Porto Rico or the Philip pines will be disappointed, The Presi- dent simply says that until Congress acts upon the matter it will be his duty to continue the military governments which have existed since our occupa- tion. Concerning Cuba the President is annexation in what he says. He says that as soon as we are in possession of the island and have pacified it it will be necessary to give aid and direction to it's people to form a government for themselves. This work, he thinks, must be undertaken at the earliest moment consistent with safety and assured sue cess. Military occupation will be con- tinued until there is complete tranquil lity in the island and a stable govern ment has been inaugurated.
 Among the positive recommendations in the message is that Congress take guan canal. The President does not say whether the United States should build the canal itself or subsidize private company. Definite action is all he will suggest. Its construction and its control by the government of the United States, he says, are calledfo by "our national policy" now more im- peratively than ever before. They are indispensable, he asserts, Ito that in innate and ready ntercommunication between our eastern and western sea- boards demanded by the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands and the prospect i've expansion of our influence and com merce in the Pacific.'
 The President thinks the army and navy should be increased. He thinks there should be an international agree ment exempting private property at sea from capture in time of war. He would have the United States promptly adopt maritime policy. He says there is an obvious demand for currency legislation, and he thinks that it is time yellow fever was looked into thoroughly and scientifically.
 The message is full of interesting in formation. It will perhaps be called colorless because 1t doesn't say what our colonial policy is going to be- But when the fact is considered that mo- body knows possibly the President will be excused for not telling.

little frill of thread lace in ivory color, was greatly admired. The velvet bod ice set on yoke of white satin over laid with steel spangled net, and was less successful, though it's fischu of chinchilla with long ends of white chif- ion dotted with black chenille, the ends tied about with black velvet, was an idea that will repay copying.
 Pictured here is another scheme, and very stylish one, for elaborating a velvet gown. In the case of this origi- nal the velvet was sapphire blue, and the cut was princess. Fur trimming suggested a long directorie basque, con- cealed the gowns fastening at the right side and edged collar, wrists and hem of skirt. Each gore of the skirt the back and the fronts of the bodice portion bore it's tracery of black che nile and jet embroidery, and the sleeves had their smaller pattern. As managed on the skirt, this trimming suggested that each gore had had a decorative artists attention, and the gown as a whole was very fine.

T,rPREssIyE. BUT NOT FOR US.

Professor Cesare Lombroso feels call- ed upon to warn this great, glorious, comparatively free, and wholly uncon- uuerable country. He talks as if we were likely to have delusions of grand eur, or some other freak notions that might upset us Tn the Forum he shows us how the Venetian State rose and fell, and he tells us to look out that we do not fall in the way that did He finds that the greatness of the Venetian State was due primarily to the liberty it enjoyed and its decline was brought about chiefly by conquests in distant lands.'' Conquests involved tre- mendous expenses, hateful taxes and the surrender of the supreme power into the hands of men who ended in establishing tyranny. Let the citizens of the United States" says Professor Lombroso, carefully consider these facts before drinking the intoxicating but poisoning cup of conquest. Let them remember that the greatness of their country lies in it's perfect inde- pendence of the rest of the world; that once embroiled outside of America it will, at the very least, obligate itself in alliances which will bring in their train formidable masses of adversaries. Let
 them bear in mind that there is nothing more dangerous for nation founded on popular suffrage than to enter upon the descent toward war, down which de- clivity the popular instincts of all coun-
 tries push and slip, in spite of the most powerful restraints Let them beware of militarism, for this is the source of all the evils that are ruinng the Latin
 races" As a friend and admirer of the United States Professor Lombroso cher- ishes hope that we shall not go the way of all previous republics. ITO the
 populace," he explains, conquest is fascinating; it is a drink which exhil- arates But precisely because it ex-
 hilarates the people it intoxicates them,
 rendering them ready to commit new blunders and quick to take offense- thus urging them on to foolish and
 shameful wars, in some of which they finally lose their prestige"
 Of course this and similar lessons of history are somewhat impressive to some people but the people of this
 country needn't pay any attention to them. Are they not assured by the tru-
 est and most teligent patriots that
 there is nothing under the sun that
 can stop the progress of this country?
 Are we not exempt from all the dan
 gers and decay that have ruined other republics? Will the Amer can eagle ever lose even one of his tail feathers? Guess not.

FASHION NOTES.
As Richness Is Enriched.

Velvet in rich shades is being used for entire dresses by women who can afford such stuffs, and is not deemed nearly magnificent enough of itself, but is made to bear off quite as much trim ming as do dresses of less costly stuffs. One model that was significant of the standards of adornment in velvet gowns was royal purple, the skirt very long It proved entirely possible to lift the velvet, gracefully displaying the satin underneath to great advantage.

seline and tosca net robes are being sold at enormous reductions by deal- CTS who at the same time advertise chenille dress nets and embroidered lace robes. This is a straw indicating that this sort of costume is suitable only to the large income that can afford to purchase at first price and wear for the brief season during which such things are exclusive and novel, When such brief season is passed, the gown should be laid aside that it may not come into contrast with the bargain influx of the same thing.

Boston's women don't seem to be liv- ing up to all their privileges. The list of Boston's registered women voters grows gradually smaller each year. The registration this year is the smallest since 1890, and it appears to be chiefly confined to the outlying districts of the city.

The displacement of 100000 tons of granite by means of a gunpowder blast is an event of infrequent occurrence in England. Consequently the loosening of a mass of rock of this weight the other day at Furnace Granite quarries, Ioch Fyne, was a notable occurrence.

Major Meigs, civil engineer who lives at Keokuk, Iowa, read somewhere that mud hole had dried up after oil was accidentally spilled in it., He tried the plan on.muddy roads near his home and says that he succeeded in keeping them in such good condition that they have attracted wide attention. He has found that a barrel of crude oil is suf- icient for a strip of road 100 feet long and 12 feet wide. It appears that the ground becomes compact where it is sprinkled with the oil, and presents hard, firm surface. The oil-soaked earth sheds the water, and, of course, there can be no mud.

Max O'Rell, in the North American Review, sets up the Frenchman as a type of the cheerful man. Among the French, he says, there are no teeto- talers and practically no drunkards. A Frenchman would be as astonished to find that the law prevented him from enjoying a glass of wine, because a few imbeciles use wine to get drunk with, as he would to find that the law forbade him to use knives in his quiet and peaceful home, because there are a few lunatics who use knives to com init suicide with or to kill their fellow creatures"

To make the treasures of the Califor- mia State library more accessible to the people is a project which is inter- esting the librarians of that State. A change in the law will be needed to per- init the circulation of the books, and one of the arguments offered in support of such a change is that many people are deterred from the examination of a desired volume, because of the incon- yenience and expense attendant upon a trip to Sacramento. The plan proposed to safeguard the books, in the event of their extended circulation, is to require the borrowers to get the State books through the local libraries, the latter to be responsible to the State. It is also proposed to require the borrowers to pay the expenses of transporting the volumes.

Consul Wilbour of Dublin says there Is no reason why the trade between Ire land and America should not be much increased. That country imports heavi- 1y from the continent many goods which we could supply at lower rates and of better quality. Among them are woodware, paper, starch, iron nails, brushes, glassware, bottles, leather, o1eomargarine and condensed milk. American bituminous coal could be landed in Ireland and sold at a lower rate than that obtaining and still leave handsome profit. There is a strong prejudice against it, however. The trade in American states is growing and could be considerably increased.
