THE TOWN AND THE STATE.
A Timely Summons Back to First
PRINCIPLES

A Timely Summons Back to First
Principles.
Amasa M. Eaton of Providence, r. l..
a well-known student of local self-gov-
eminent, addressed the eleventh regu-
lar meeting of the Society of Municipal
officers in Chapman Hall, fremont
Temple, yesterday afternoon, on ''Town
Home Rule" Mayor Hart presided.
Immediately preceding the meeting
tea was served, and Mr.. Eaton was in
troduced to the members of the society.
Among those present were Hon. Albert
E. Pillsbury, DR.. C. f. Folsom, Judge
Jones of the registration court, A. D..
Chandler of Brooklne, George H..
Clarke, Mrs Edith P. Wolcott, Mrs. R.
c. Lincoln, Mrs. William j. Quinn, Mrs
Jacob Hecht and Mrs, Emily A. F'ifeld
Mayor Hart, introducing Mr.. Eaton
remarked that the subject of home rule
was of great interest to himself, and
he believed that it was a matter of vi
tai interest to all. citizens of Boston.
Mr.. Eaton in beginning reviewed at
length the origin and establishment Of
town governments from the earliest
times in order to show that the doctrine
that the original New England towns
was the creature of the legislature is
based on legal fiction, contrary to the
facts of history Continuing, he said:
at is submitted that this necessarily
rapid survey Of the origin and estab-
lishment of government in all the New
England states shows concluslvely that
when they were settled it had not be-
come forgotten, as it has now, that a
municipal corporation can be formed
by a voluntary association; and conse-
quently, without authority from the
crown, the settlers associated them
selves together as towns and took unto
themselves and eXerted the privileges,
and liberties properly APP

TIE MoNGoosE THEORY.

The scientists scare us occasionally,
but after they have scared us they gen
orally give us at least crumb of COM
fort. Thus, awhile ago they set before
US the germ theory of disease in such a
way that it actually began to seem
dangerous to try to live, and then they
showed us that all germs were not
deadly, that some germs might neutral
ize other germs, and that they could
invent ways of getting the better of
some of the germs. So we did not de
spair, but continued to live, move and
germs were so common and SO danger
Gus. Now we are told that some kinds
they bite us right at the right time
and the feeling is growing and spread
ing that the mosquito is even more pes
tiferous than he has been supposed to
be. But we are not left without hope in
lillS IIlotLGI dlly iIlOIp lldu we were III
the germ business. Some scientist in
the Philippine islands says that the bite
of the mongoose is certain cure for
malaria. The mongoose is a lively lit
tie animal which is death on snakes
and rats, and If he is also death on
malaria he is going to be even more
useful than he has been. 1t is to be
hoped that the mongoose theory will
receive enough scientific support to
made 1t full offset to the mosquito
theory. 1t is encouraging to think that
while a hair of the same mosquito may
not cure it's malarious bite the bite of
a mongoose will, and as there is moth
ing more preposterous in the mongoose
theory than there is in some other theo-
rles there is no good reason why we
shouldn't have faith in it, at least UNI
til some more plausible theory is set
afloat

convention Of its citizens, said to be the
best city charter yet framed, is now at
| tracing the attention of students of
! municipal government through the
country. The charter of Greater New
| York, framed through the action of

| own citizens, is already an admitted
failure, as 1t contains features that new
er would have been either introduced or
adopted by its own citizens. Already
it is to be revised in the same obJec-
tionable way 1t was framed in order
that the bose and his machine may re-
tain their hold In New York But the
charters Of the western cities enume-
rated, framed by conventions of their
own citizens and ratified by the vote OF
their own citizens are admitted sue
cesses. These Illustrations show that
the people themselves in these new
states are taking the necessary steps to
correct the evils resulting from the de-
NAL by legislatures and courts of the
right to local selfEovernment. Let us,
who are threatened with the same evils,
follow their footsteps in measures to
remedy them"
At the conclusion of the address Mr..
Pillsbury said that he was in full ac-
cord with Mr.. Eaton, and believed that
he was right In theory, while the pres
emit doctrine of our courts that cities
and towns are mere creatures of the
legislature is precisely contrary to the
facts of our history"
He cited the Westminster chambers
affair, where the state took property
and legislated that Boston should pay
for it, the first instance of the kind in
the history Of state control. IF the leg
islature has the right to do that, no one
can say to what extent it may 60 He
held that it was very dangerous doc
trine, and if the legislature has that
power it certainly ought to be known
1.-THE existence Of the towns must not
only be recognized, but they must be
preserved in their political privileges

privileges if their property rights have
been taken away. That is exactly what

TENNESSEE'S CIGARETTE LAW.

Tennessee has law which makes 1t
a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of
not less than $50 for any person, firm
or corporation to sell, offer to sell or to
bring into the State for the purpose of
selling, giving away or otherwise dis
posing of any cigarettes, cigarette pa
per or substitute for the same. The
Supreme court of the United States
says this Is legal law, Though the fact
that it says so by majority OF only
one is food for thought. Chief Justice
Fuller did not assent to this decision
nor did Judges Shiras, Brewer and
Peckham. The Tennessee Supreme
court held that cigarettes We're not le-
Ultimate articles of commerce ION ac-
count of their noxious and hurtful char
acter." Justice Brown of the United
States Supreme court, who wrote the
opinion of the majority, said that prob
ably no other vegetable has contributed
so much to the comfort and solace of
the human race as tobacco This being
the case it was entirely beyond bounds
to say that tobacco was not an article
of commerce. But the right of the
State to prohibit the sale of tobacco in
the form of cigarettes was, neverthe-
less, affirmed. Such a prohibition, it
was declared, was not an infringement
of the exclusive power of congress to
regulate commerce between the States

cigarette law to interfere with the
splendor and the comfort of Saturdays

LESS 20 FERTY IN ENGLAND,

Although England isn't as well off as
this country, and although she has
some special and unusual misfortunes
on hand she has much to feel good
over. For instance, the report of the
Local Government Board for 1S99-190O
shows that pauperism in England is at
the lowest point which it has ever
touched. The assessed value of real
property increased vastly, more sani-
tary works were undertaken than in
any previous year, there was no wide
spread epidemic of infectious disease.
the death-rate was low, bread cheap,
and work plentiful. On January /,
1900, there were (not counting lunatics)
about $4,000 fewer paupers than at the
beginning of 1880, although the popula-
ton has increased by about six mil
lions and half. The proportion of
pauperism, which in the prosperous
days of agriculture during the early
seventies was nearly so per 1000 has
fallen to %; and the reduction has
scarcely been retarded by the operation
of Sir Henry Fowler's act of 1894,
which practically placed the control of

A writer In the Railroad Gazette
notes the confusion of ideas existing
'as to what a horsepower really
means" A boiler horsepower, he
says, is wholly different thing from
an engine horsepower. 1t designates
only a certain rate of water evapora-
ton. 1t means so many pounds Of
water evaporated in one hour under
certain conditions of temperature and
pressure. An indicated horse power"
is the power of a steam engine as
measured by the engine indicator. The
net power Is measured by friction
brakes or by other means of register
ing the footpounds Of work done,
whether by steam engine, gas, oil or
electric motor, or by water wheel. A
horse power is $4,000 footpoounds Of
work done per minute. In electrical
measurements 746 watts equal one
horsepower. The mechanical equiva-
lent of thermal unit, according to
Professor Rowland, of the Hopkins, is
IT'S footpounds of work.
