UNIVERSITIES AS PUBLISHERS.
Visible Work Done by the Great Ameri-
can Institutions.

No one who has watched the de-
velopment of American universities
during recent years can fail to have
observed that many of them have be-
come active publishing centers. AS an
example, take Columbia university,
which, through a house in this city.
publishes one series on history. econo-
mics and public law; another on biolo-
gy, together with others on philosophy,
psychology and education, on electrical
engineering, on geology. on botany, on
mineralogy and on astronomy. When
the name of Johns Hopkins university
is mentioned who does not at once
think of the series of Studies in His
tory and Politics issued by that insti-
tuition? And with Harvard university
is connected it's Quarterly Journal of
Economics and THE Harvard Histor-
ical Series" Yale brings to mind its
Law Review To mention but one of
it's several publications, the Cornell
Studies in Classical Philology" has
spread the fame of Cornell university.
Going westward, to the vigorous young
university at Chicago, one finds Il long
list of publications issued from its uni
versity press, among which are The
American Journal of Sociology" The
Astra-Physical Journal and THE
School Review" The University of
Wisconsin has four series, on econom-
les, political science and history, on
science, on language and literature and
on engineering. Stanford university
has five Of these separate series, while
the University of Pennsylvania has at
least six. Some of the chronological
institutions are publishing the results of
work done. OF this type is The Tech
nOlogy Quarterly" issued by the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology
New York Tribune.

One of the most gratifying results Of
the municipal ownership movement is
the demonstration of
A CHANGE the growth and power
HAS of public sentiment.
COME. While there has long
been a spirit here IA
vorable to municipal improvement and
opposed to municipal jobbery, it has
until recently lacked the cohesiveness
without which the reform element finds
Phoenix has been at the mercy of I'M
scrupulous manipulators who made no
effort to cover up their tracks and
Dragged openly of their ability to pull
off, franchises and contracts and other
paying, if questionable, schemes. The
principle observed was that a frontier
community has no rights that some
corporations are bound to observe, and
the evil effects in the case of Phoenix
are seen in a water service that would
disgrace an eastern village, in a sewer
age system that is totally inadequate,
and in other evidences of the triumph
of private greed over the rights of the
community. The High school matter
is a case in point. The building as it
came into the possession of the local
school district was unfit for the uses
to which it was subsequently put. y
good deal of money had to be expended
Dc fT
dollars have since been spent on an adj
dition. The charge made by this news
paper two years or more ago, that the
taxpayers would pay dearly foc
this property, has been borne out.
The sale of this unsuitable prop
erty to the city was a job pure and
simple. Two prominent citizens con-
trolled it, and desired to get their
money out of it, and they managed -
unload according to schedule, despite
the fact that the nature of the job was
revealed, and the evidence was at hand
that suitable building could be erect
ed for less money than this purely self
ish scheme required. The people per-
mitted the school district to be bun
coed, although many of the taxpayers
protested. They had not been edu-
Gated to the fact that the public has
rights which individuals are bound to
respect, and that jobbers have no
chance against a public movement.
The popular education in this direction
has been going on rapidly since the
sale of "Churchill's folly to the city
for a high school, and the Phoenix
Water company is the first to demon
strate this interesting fact. 1t will be
demonstrated anew before the people
secure all the improvements that Phoe-
nix requires to make it an up-to-date
town. There will be no more one-sided
contracts, no more cold-blooded deals
whereby the city will be saddled with
top-heavy burdens. The sooner the
jobbers come to a realization of this
fact the less trouble they will expert
ence.

A dispatch from Washington an

INFERENCE. has been postponed.
The Atlantic Contract
ing company was to appear before the
court of claims last week but the case
was postponed at the request of the
claimants until today. The Atlantic
company wishes to discontinue a claim
of over 5000, 900, but the department of
justice will resist the motion as it in
tends to file counter claims to prove
that the company in reality owes mon
ey to the government. When a con-
tracing company attempts to with
draw a claim for over 100000, the pub
lie is inclined to suspect that the con-
tractors are fearful their transactions
with Captain Carter will not bear the
searching light of official investigation.

The tip system in travel has grown

1T is a considerable factor in the ex-
pense Of moving about. 1t is generally
understood that the sleeping csr COM

1t seems remarkable that such n war
like country as Great Britain should
have been so unpre-
STRENGTH pared upon the opening
OF THE of hostilities in South
BOERS. Africa. Olive Schreiner
and others have accused
Cecil Rhodes and the mine owners Of
plotting to overthrow the Boer repub-
lie, and 1t is naturally inferred that
these schemers were backed by Great
Britain. But the ignorance manifested
by the war Office, in regard to the force
which the Transvaal republic was able
to put into the field is now causing
many persons to believe that the Brit
ish had a contemptuous idea that the
Beers could muster only a rabble army.
which would fall to pieces upon the ap-
pearance of trained soldiers.
The fierce fighting at Glencoe, Glands
laagte and Ladysmith proved to the
world that the British were fighting
foemen worthy of their steel. But very
few people, at the time, had an idea
that the Boer force was as strong as it
is. South African advices have esti-
mated the Transvaal forces as follows:
Around Ladysmith, $4,000; traversinG
Zululand, 1000; advancing on Burgh-
erdorp, 5000: Colesburg. 1000; Kimber-
ley, 1000: Mafeking. $500, and the
Transvaal border, 1000.
If General oJubert, with his 25,O0O
men, cannot occupy Ladysmith within
the next few weeks, the British COM
mander-in-chief will probably succeed
in saving the beleaguered forces.

AN IRISH MARK TWAIN.

Lord Mayor Daniel Talon Of Dublin,
who arrived in New York the other
day, has a reputation as a sayer OF
bright things. Here is one that he ut
tered today:
IF Shamrock does not win it is be-
cause there is a leak in her national
ity.'
Again, when he saw the Dewey arch
for the first time, he remarked:
"They told me that 1 would be
dumbfounded at the Dewey arch. 1t
must be a queer arch which would sill
ence an Irishman." His admirins
friends, who were showing him around
the city, speak of him as AN Irish

The advocates of municipal ownership
OF a water works and sewerage system

The advocates of municipal ownership
should not make the
NO PLACE mistake of supposing
FOR THE that Moses Sherman
ENEMY. and his paid agents
have given up the fight.
Mr.. Sherman and his satellites are as
alert as ever. What they have lost by
bulldozing they hope to recover by
cunning. Finding that a campaign of
corruption had to lose when opposed
by resolute citizenship, the water out
fit are merely trimming their sails.
They hope yet to bring their rotten
craft into port.
The taxpayers should be on their
guard. They have met Mr.. Sherman
and defeated him in his project of re-
tanning absolute control of the city
council. They should now see to it
that to the defeat of bulldozing there
is added the defeat of bunco. At the
mass meeting of taxpayers to take ac-
ton on the line OF the CAM resolution,
the utmost vigilance should be exer-
cised, in order that Mr.. Sherman shall
not gain under cover and by cunning
that which he cannot accomplish in the
light of popular scrutiny. 1t may be
taken for granted that not only will
the notorious agents of the water COM
pany be on hand in an endeavor to de-
feat the popular will by some trick OF
resolution, but these avowed agents
will have as allies eloquent attor-
neys" in the guise of representatives IF
the people. There should be no place
in the meeting for any of the ilk. They
have no business there.
The meeting will be avowedly one in
the interest of municipal ownership,

GAVE AN OIL PAINTING.

An oil painting. THE Rescue of the
Colors," the work of William r. Trego,
was presented on Saturday to Bucks
county, Pa, by John Wanamaker. The
picture commentaries an incident in
the history of the One Hundred and
Fourth regiment, Bucks county's own,
which occurred at the battle of Fair
Oaks. Va, May so, 1862, when one of
the flags was rescued from the enemy
after the color sergeant had been
wounded.

as part of the return fer the work
done. The way out is simple; it is for
the corporations to pay enough to keep
the employees contented without prey
ing on the public. The clubs of the
country have a rule that tipping en-
ployes is forbidden. Wages are adjust
ed to the situation. and the men get
what is satisfactory to them, and then
each member OF the club gets as good
treatment as his neighbor. That is the
only fair way to do. The tipping null
sance ought to stop, and Mr.. Daniels
can stop it. If the Central announced
that all tips were forbidden on its line,
it would get all the through travel un-
til its rivals followed its ruling.

promises to have a far reaching effect
upon the commercial prosperity of
Cape Colony. A few days ago the del

and partaking of the hospitality of Mr..
