LET DIR. OHAGE TRY.

1t was great and needful gain to
the sanitary welfare of this community
which DR.. Ohage made in his success
full prosecution Of the work Of estab-
fishing public baths. 1t was outside the
routine of his official life Combining
himself to earning his official salary, the
thought would never have come to him.
1t was begotten as much Of a desire
to promote the moral and physical well
fare of the poorer of our people as it
was OF any thought of his official duty.
Now comes the same official with a
proposition that his department shall be
entrusted with the grave task Of dis
posing of the public garbage. That, too,
IN a sense, may be said not to come
strictly under the designation of an Of
fetal obligation. But 1t is a matter
which touches very closely the health
of the community. He offers to take
upon himself and his department the
work of effectively removing the public
offal at certain cost What he says
doing. The garbage problem Is one
which should be turned over to the
health department. It would have been
we'll for the city in more ways than one
had it been turned over to that depart
ment at any time within the past fifteen
years. AS a political problem, and as
one of sanitation, its stencil has risen
to heaven. The scandals of the old azo-
tine plant are forgotten, but the scav-
enging methods-which have attended the
entire business in the intervening years
credit. They should be brought to an
end. We believe DR.. Ohage can end
them economically and to the advantage
of the peoples health.
DR.. Ohage should be given the oppor-
tunity to try his hand. He has no po-
Htical obligations on his hands which
may operate to give the wrong turn to
the affair. We doubt if it could in any
event be given worse turn than that
which marks it today. When, If ever,
those misguided persons, in ard out OF
politics, who seem determined to keep
st. Paul in the unprogressive rut In
which we have been travelling for the
past few years have died off or b en-
silenced, no doubt we will reach such
rational methods Of local administra-
ton as will make the disposition of the
public garbage a health problem, instead
Of one Of scavenging. In the meantime
the Glo'b desires, in its advocacy of
DR.. Ohage's proposition, to attest it's
desire that with the advent of a new
city charter we may at least enter ulon
an era of enlightenment in the manage
ment of our local government

a farmer from Rosemount who saw him
walking slowly toward the bridge, asked
him to ride over, Bill responded, much
to the joy Of the farmer, who, it would
seem, feared that Hays seeming lack Of
purpose In getting anywhere on his stroll
was indicative of desire to go over the

up the steep incline the farmer kept a

HOW THEY ARE AMUSED.

Lord Salisbury, as is fairly we'll known,
diverts his mind from the responsibilities
OF craftsmanship by INDUCING in scien-
tific research, electrical Investigation
for choice. Sir Walter Besant's favorite
recreation is looking on. But he is far
too busy man to look on long.
Mr. Swinburne swims; Alfred Austin,
the poet laureate, cultivates his garden
Sir Lewis Morris is fond of literature and
society, and Stephen Phillips favors
cricket and cycling. Some of the English
poets must have a good deal of leisure
time, for they have been uncommonly
silent latterly. Perhaps the age is too
prosaic for poetry.
Sir Henry Irving recreation is-acting
Wilson Barrett says his recreation is
working, and he ought to know His en-
ergy is phenomenal. Forbes Robertsou
when not acting, paints and plays golf
Cecil Rhodes has a preference for most
things Dutch-except Beers Mr. Rhodes
Is man of great culture; he is very fond
of the classics, and has had typewritten
translations specially made for him. He
is very versatile in his hobbies, busy man
as he is, and his menagerie of wild ami
mails Is a wonderful affair. The Pretoria
Zoo authorities would not accept Mr.
Rhodes gift of lion.
1t is well known that Joseph Chamber
lain-whose hands are fairly full lust now
will never walk If he can get a cab
His mental alertness does not seem to
suffer, however through his abhorrence
of anything approaching physical exer-
. else. When Mr.. Chamberlain is not at
tending to the affairs of the empire he Is
usually cultivating orchids and putting
big cigars.
Guy BOothby, when not writing novels
attends to his dogs or his aquarium He
collects live fish. Mrs. Hodgson Burnett
of Little Lord Fauntleroy" fame, oc-
cupies her leisure hours in endeavoring to
improve the lot of children. w. T. Stead
that remarkable man and prolific journal
list, is also very fond of children, and loves
frolic with them. Mr.. Arthur Morrison
among other things, boxes. Robert w
Chambers, the author, collects insects and
such things. William LIE Queux favors
revolver practice
Three prominent Englishmen at least
are keen on natural history. The Duke
of Bedford, who was recently elected
president of the Geological society," has q
most interesting collection of animals at
Woburn park His. collection OF deer is
perhaps the finest in the country. The
Hon. Walter Rothschild, M. P. at Tring,
has got together a wonderful museum
and the interesting collection Is constant
ly being augmented. He is the author Of
numerous articles on zoology Sir John
Lubbock, who Is Undoubtedly one of the
most notable men of his time, is a dis
tinguished student of natural history and
he has written some standard works on
the subject He Is authority on the ways
of ants, bees and owasps.

THE VOTING MACHINE.

A result was achieved on election day
at Buffalo. n. Y, which will be learned
with pleasure by all voters without re-
gard to party. The counting of the votes
in that city was effected through the vot-
ing machine, with the result that within
an hour after the closing of the polls the
returns were accurately known.
The work done by the voting machine
at Buffalo represents the most severe
test ever applied to it, The test was in
every respect successful. There was a
full vote. and each vote was recorded
almost as quickly as cast. The result was
known at once in the city with absolute
certainty. There was no possibility of
tampering with the machines, and moth
ing whatever was left to the interference
Of anybody
The great. value of such an invention as
this is that it does away absolutely with
all possibility of fraud In even the most
remote districts the results are made
available at once. In general operation
in presidential election, for instance, it
is possible, with the aid Of telegraph and
telephone, thus to have stated in the
morning papers Of the day after election
the result in every state in the Union.
The present cumbersome and laborious
system Of counting and recording each
vote cast, and then adding totals which
too often are found incorrect either
through dishonesty or stupidity, ought to
be ended at once. Election contests year
after year during the entire period of our
national existence have shown the urgent
need Of some automatic system of re-
cording the votes as cast
Apart from every other consideration, the
one of expense alone ought to appeal to
voters in favor Of the voting machine
Millions Of dollars are expended each sue
cessive election in the operation Of the
present system. With machine in OPERA
ton this expense would in large measure
be dispensed with, much greater celebrity
and accuracy be secured and all pos
sibiIity Of election frauds be avoided
No doubt the result secured in Buffalo
will onerate to make the voting ma
chine Indispensable in the immediate fu-
ture. There can no longer be any sub
stantial doubt as to the ability Of the
machine to do the work claimed for it.
and to do it in a manner worthy of the
advances which we have made in other
directions. In closely contested elections
the present system offers a premium on
wrong doing on the part Of election Of
ficials. All this will be avoided and a
much-needed supplement to the Austria
liam ballot will be furnished. which will
assure to the voter the certainty that his
vote will be counted as cast, without de-
lay or fear of manipulation

"OPEN DOOR" IN PHILIPPINES

A rather singular Illustration has been
offered through the work of the American
commissioners in the negotiation of the
treaty of peace between Spain and the
United States Of the strides that we have
made inside of a year in the direction Of
a colonial policy. Among the PROPOSE
tons laid before the Spanish commissions
ers by our representatives was that
which led up directly to the $4,000, 900
transaction. 1t was stated in these
terms:
and it being the policy of the United
States to maintain in the Philippines an
open door to the worlds commerce, the
American commissioners are prepared to
insert in the treaty now in contemplation
stipulation to the effect that for a term
of years, Spanish ships and merchandise
shall be admitted into the ports of the
Philippine islands on the same terms as
American ships and merchandise"
To this the Spanish commissioners re-
sponded by the following inquiry:

IN THE COUNTRY IN THE FALL

They are hauling in the buckwheat
From the field upon the Hill
ana the swollen stream is roaring
Ger the dam below the mill;
Inc rlpened nuts are falling
AND the hungry peacock's calling
For the breakfast that the gander grabbed
away,
While the squirrels gaily chatter g.
AS II nothing were the matter
And the gobbler's getting fatter
Every day.
The colts are in the pasture
And the cows wind ore the lea:
All the swaying limbs are naked
Where the green leaves used to be:
The housewife. all a-futter,
Stirs the bubbling apple butter,
With the wood smoke in her nostrils
and her eyes;
On the line the wash is cleaning.
On the steps the dog is dreaming.
And, above, a hawk is screaming
AS it flies!
The glossy quail is resting
On the weather-beaten log,
And the huntSman from the city
Stumbles down through brake and bog;
Over roots and over boulders
With a pair of aching shoulders.
He goes trudging with his fifty dollar
gun,
Always to his purpose cleaving.
Never hating, never grieving,
But contentedly believing
1t is fun.
The farmers rosy daughter
Helps the busy hired man:
They are husking corn as blithely
And as briskly as they cam
They are very near together
AS they huSk and wonder whether
There are red ears they shall chance to
find or not;
She is looking out to see one,
He is hoping he may tree one,"
But there doesn't seem to be one
In the lot
A subtle charm enfolds them
AS they tear the husks away:
There is music in the cackle
Of the hen UP in the hay;
Now she hears his exclamation,
And is full of perturbation.
For at last-at last-the lucky ear is
found;
F'Iushes mount into their faces.
He the happy chance embraces
And she giggles as he Chases
Her around.
o the farmers lot is happy.
And the farmers dreams are sweet,
If there's money in the pockets
And his bins are full of wheat
Free from all the city's clamor
He may live defying grammar
And the leaves that fall serve not TO
make him sad!
Having cleared up all his labors.
Fearing naught from ships or sabres.
He plays checkers with the neighbors,
And is glad.
