Congress can, of course, without any
trouble pass a law against the adulteration
of wheat -four and requiring millers to
brand their barrels so as 10 show precise
ly what they contain. But would that
stop -four adulteration? The circular
time ago calling attention to its corn starch
as a -four adulterant was not sent to mill
ers, but to retail grocers. The fact that a
barrel was properly branded and contain
ed only pure flour when it left the miller
would be no guarantee that only pure
-four would come out Of it over the coun-
ter to the retail purchaser

A repetition of the old story of genius
and poverty comes from Pittsburg George
w. Ferris, the engineer who designed and
built the great wheel at the Worlds Fair
which bore his name, demonstrated virtu-
ally new principle in the building OF
wheels of large size that is, that tangent
spokes could be used to advantage where
direct spokes would not answer at all.
Ferris was a genius. His head was fun of
big ideas, number of which he lived 20
work out But he died in virtual poverty.
When his debts %vere paid his estate was
not worth enough to pay his funeral ex-
penses. His body was cremated, and the

fuses to deliver the ashes TO the family

quently, the manufacturers say, il is nee

price, they are forming a trust or COM

by the working classes. The Dngley law
forces these working classes to contribute

That was an admirable suggestion of
Senator Cockrell of Missouri TO put the
pension department Of the government in
charge of the war department. If after
the war soldiers had been employed to look
after the interests of soldiers, to take care
of pension OBSERVERS and to turn down I'M

The prospect for biennial sessions of the
legislature in New York has been consid-
erably improved by the declaration of Mr.
Richard Croker in favor of the change
The lengthening of the wait between terms
was proposed by Gov. Black. and it was
thought for time that the Republicans
would have fun credit for it, bat Mr..
Crokers favor puts a somewhat different
light upon the matter. Mr.. Croker argues
that biennial sessions would be a good
thing for New York city. since it would
eivefthe rural legislators, who are in the
majority in the assembly. fewer chances
70 whack the city. He says also that the
longer time between sessions would prob
ably have the effect Of making the legis-
lators more careful Of what sort of bills
they pass.

The planting Of a number of new poles
in the squares is decidedly not conducive
TO the beauty of those places. IN some of
the squares, as email as they are, fifteen
TO twenty poles for electric wires may be
counted. Indeed, in more instances than
one the poles outnumber the trees. The
result is park of poles; unsghtiy' OBJ
trusiye reminders OF the fact that where
it is permitted the commercial or dollars
and-cents spirit Will obscure if not blot
out the artistic and the beautiful. If we
are to have the little park places as beau
" spots, for the dedication Of the finer
senses of ourselves ana our visitors why
do we permit them to be spoiled by all
sorts of ugly membranes? If We do not
care whether the squares are made pretty
or not, why do we spend money on them
for flowers and grass and shrubs and
trees2, One thing is certain, the squares
cannot be treated as If they were back
alleys or lumber yards, and at the same
time present the appearance of well kept
lawns dotted with bright little garden
spots of color and fragrance. There &p-
pears to be no good reason why the new
lights could not have been put up on neat
iron poles, which would have added to the
ornamentation Of the squares.

The New York Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin asserts that in
the event of the retirement of all govern
ment issues of paper money and the sub
stitution of paper money issued by banks,
the emergency of war would not cause
the banks to suspend gold payments or
contract their circulation. The govern
ment, 1t says, could and would easily sup
ply itself with all the money needed, up 10
$4,000, 600. through an issue of 8 or per
cent. bonds, which would be taken both at
home and abroad. So rar as they were
taken abroad, the American stock of gold
would be increased, all other things being
equal. THE proceeds would go into the
banks as government deposits, the treasury
would draw against those deposits as
needed, and the payments would return the
money TO the banks or to the general cir
culation. Thus there would be no disturb
ance of thS monetary equilibrium and
therefore no suspension of gold redemption
and no withdrawal of bank circulation
through fear"

Geography has a good deal of Influence
upon jingoism. In, New York, for instance,
the lingo paperS are merely bowling for

Spain blew UP the Maine in the harbor OF
Havana" So far as the reliable informa-
ton goes, nobody knows that Spain had
anything to do with che blowing up of the
Maine; but a little thing like that does
not prevent the bowling of Republican
patriot who is probably 1000 miles away
from where the fighting would be done if
there should be a war.

sarnnnah,s waste of water.

In our dispatches from Atlanta. pub
lished yesterday, the statement is made
that Atlanta pumps 100000 gallons of wa
600 gallons. Such remarkable difference
in the amount of water used in the two
cities is well calculated to arrest atten-
ton. Atlanta has a larger population-at
least she claims that she has-and yet if
the foregoing figures are correct she uses
less than half as much water.
Is there not an extraordinary waste of
water in this city? We have contended
there is, and we feel sure that if the Water
Commission were to make a thorough in
vestigation it would find that at least 2O00,-
OO0 gallons more a day are pumped than
are legitimately used.
The people kicked against water meters
and the water meter plan was abandoned
but they ought 10 be required TO use
water economically. 1t is probable that
If a thorough inspection were made it
would be found that in a large percentage
of houses and offices the faucets and closet
traps are kept open pretty nearly all the
time. 1t is also probable that there are
leaks in the mains.
In view of the fact that it costs great
deal more to pump 100000 gallons day
than it would 100000, the Water
Commission should undertake to find out
whether or not large part of the water
now pumped is wasted. The commission
could well afford to pay an Intelligent in
spector to make a thorough investigation
of the water MAINS the water plugs and
faucets and closets in houses and offices.
If we are legitimately using all the water
we are pumping then this is the champion
water using city of the country.

stroyed by short boiling, nor by drying
and heating the residue to 212 degrees
Fahrenheit nor by the diluted acids or
alkalies. DR.. Hanger has proved the ex-
istence of formic acid, but he has also
proved that that is not the poisonous prn-

neither the bee poison nor a 2-per cent

made on rabbits and other animals show
that when the poison is brought in con-
tact with the eye there follow lachryma-
ton, hyperemia, chemosis, and croupous
membrane on conjunctiva. The general
condition is also affected; the animals be-
come melancholy, take no food, but are
very thirsty, and the urine shows small
