THE PLUMBING ORDINANCE.

No one seems to be willing to acknowl.
edge the authorship of the plumbing ordi-
nance that is pending before the City
Council. 1t appears to be an ordinance
for the promotion of the causes of sick
ness in dwellings. The inspection of plumb
ing is taken out of the hands of practical
men-men acquainted with plumbing-and
put into the hands of men who know
nothing about the plumbing art The Of
ficials designated in the ordinance are no
doubt good business men. and would be
conscientious in the discharge of their
duties, but they know nothing about the
duties that would be required OF them.
Therefore they are not the men who should
be selected to see to it that dwellings are
provided with plumbing which will protect
the people from gases which cause sick
ness.
There is a good deal of opposition to the
present inspector of plumbing-not from
citizens interested in having the health of
their families protected, but from some of
those who are interested in the plumbing
trade. We don't undertake to say whether
there is good ground for the opposition or
not If, however, Council thinks that the
inspector should be removed it should
take care that the vacancy is filled by
a man in every respect capable of dis
charging the duties of the place efficiently,
and who would not slight his duty for any
reason whatever. 1t is imperatively neces-
sary that a competent. courageous an
honest man, a man who has time to attend
to the duties of the office, shall be inspec-
tor of plumbing. 1t Is small office, but
great deal depends upon the faithful
performance of its duties. 1t is useless to
spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in
house drainage If 1t is proposed to allow
careless plumbing in dwellings. Good
plumbing is as necessary for health as
good drainage. We can think of no good
reasons why Council should give Its assent
to the pending plumbing ordinance.

Close Cau for the General.

A funny story is current about Gen. Sir
Henry Brackenbury, the director gener-
al of ordnance in England, says an ex-
change Somebody had invented a field
gun intended to be fired from horseback
The experiment took place at Woolwich
the horses head being tied to a post and
the muzzle of the gun being directed to-
ward an earthen butt. The general and
his staff stood on the other side of the
animal to watch the result. The gun was
loaded and, in order to afford time, slow
burning fuse was used to fire it off I'm
fortunately the animal was only fastened
by the head. The result was that when il
heard the fixing of the fuse it became I'M
easy and commenced prancing around the
post so that the gun, instead of pointing
at the butt, was directed straight at the
heads of Sir Henry and of the body of
gorgeously attired generals and staff of
ficers with him, who had assembled to
watch the experiment. Not a moment was
to be lost Down they all went, fiat on their
stomachs in the mud. Then the gun went
off, the recoil knocked over the horse.
which was found some distance from the
post on its back. 1t was miracle that no
harm was done by the projectile. None of
the officers received any injury except to
their uniforms. Indeed, they presented a
rather den1oTalized appearance when the
experiment was over, and under the cir
cumstances 1T is not astonishing that they
have reported strongly against the adop-
ton of the gun.

How the Children Got Dinner.

One of the oldest ways Of being charita-
bic al someone else's expense was related
by a well-known restaurant keeper one
day last week. says the New York Mail
and Express. He said:
Just at the noon rush hour a we'll
known man entered my establishment, &C
companied by three children OF various
ages. CARRIED IN garments which looked as
though they were constructed from his
own cast-off clothes He told the waiter
the children were very hungry, and ordered
all sorts Of dainties. which they fairly COB
bled up, while he sat and looked at them
and ate nothing. As a final treat, he called
for ice cream, and when it came, sent the
waiter back for cake Then, telling the
children he was going to buy a cigar, ne
left the room-and the building. The wait
er, wondering at mis- long absence, after a
while asked the children, Where is your
papa?
Oh, he isn't our papar said one of the
boys, meekly. He's just a man wot see
us lookln' in the window and wishin for
the good things and he toll US to come
along and get somethin' to eat
William came 10 me, so dumfounded he
could hardly talk" concluded the proprie-
tor, "and when he at last made clear the
situation I went over and sent the chill
dren off, with a Tot of good things under
their jackets which I charged on the debit
account"

A MANy-sIDED MAN.

What sort of man was Thomas Jeffer-
son any way. and what We're his political
beliefs? This question seems to be perth
nent at this time, because his name has
come to the front so prominently in con-
ncction with the SO and 81 dinners, and
because so mary quote him to sustain the
political principles in which they profess
to believe and so many more think they
know what his political principles were
and what he taught
The 81 dinner people in New York think
they are following the teachings of JEFF
ferson by giving a 81 dinner in honor of his
birthday Prof. Felix Adler, in a lecture
before the Society for Ethical Culture the
other day, said that associating Demo
cratic Simplicity" with the name of JEFF
feTson was like trying to fit square plug
in a round hole, because there was moth
ing particularly simple in Jeffersons way
Of living. He was great and rich planter
and lived on a scale Of lavish magnificence.
AT times he entertained as many as fifty
guests at his house at a time, and his
entertainments were so lavish that they
finally brought about his financial ruin.
He kept a French cook, and possessed
a cellar of the rarest and most costly
wines. His residence at Monticello was
declared by LaRochefoucauld TO be the
finest in America.
Speaking of Jefferson from the stand
point of politics, a writer In one of the
Western dailes says: 1.-The Judgment pass
ed upon him diverge as widely as do An
tony's and Cassius estimates of Caesar
Men have quoted him on the free trade
and the protectionst side, in favor of and
has been advocated in this country in the
last thirty years, and for and against
every kind of policy which any one has
advocated in The United States in the past
three-quarters of a century" There is one
thing, however, that can be said of JEFF
ferson to which all agree, and that is that
he never lost faith in the people. In that
he was wiser than most of the public men
of his day, and because he had such I'M
shakeable confidence in the people the peo-
pie have always looked upon him as their
great friend. But the youthful orators
who quote Jefferson as authority for all
the political vagaries with which they I'M
dertake to lead the people would find much
that would fill their minds with doubt
as to whether they are genuine disciples of
his if they should give his life and writ
ings careful study.
