vision of the public works of Toxic. is Wis
iting this county, and has been studying
certain engineering and sanitary condi-
tiOns in this city He finds much to adj

the municipal administration is not to be
credited. But in two elementary and fun
damental respects. in which the municipal
government Is directly concerned. he re-
CARDS New York as open to grave criticism.
One of these things is our disposition of
sewage. He finds New York pouring it's
colossal flood of foulness directly into a
harbor which he regards as, for extent and
natural beauty, the finest in the world The
result is that the water of the harbor is
badly polluted. and dredging is required to
keep a sufficient depth for shipping. 1t
seems strange to this oriental visitor that

same view of the case has been taken by
people here. 1t has often been set forth
in these columns But the powers that be

ods as experiments still entirely too WIS.,

the example which Paris and other cities
have long been setting. We shall adopt

disconsolately. And he is quite
right. If he would only carry the
idea OF change in his wife far enough
he would be able to understand her
feelings and sympathize with her
condition But his estimate of
change stops at externals-at the
tears, nervousness and irritability
which are but surface symptoms OF
the real change she is undergoing.
There is no time when young wo-
men stand so much in need OF good

OF married life, and there is perhaps
no time when, as a rule, the young
wife is left so entirely alone to grope

DOCUMENTARY HISTORY.
Important Work Completed by Mr..
Rhees of the Smithsonian.

A document of more than usual value and
interest has been published by authority
of Congress, entitled 'The Smithsonian In
stitution, Documents Relative to Its Origin
and History, 1S35-1S99," compiled and edit
ed by William Jones Rhees, Twenty-Fourth
to Fifty-Fifth Congresses two volumes of
1000 pages each In this work is given the
legislation by Congress relative TO the
Smithsonian Institution. the National Mu-
scum, bureau of American ethnology. in
ternational exchanges, National Geological
Park. astro-physical observatory, as well
as great international eXpositions, eNplor-
ing expeditions, &c, and also the debates
and votes in Congress relative to each sub
ject.
The work is the result of much labor by
Mr.. Rhees, who by his more than forty
years connection with the institution as
its chief clerk, is eminently qualified to
prepare II.
cussion relative to objects intrusted by
Congress to the care of the institution, and
of some of the operations of the govern
ment with which il has had direct or incl
dental connection.
This work is intended primarily as a
storehouse Of material for reference, and
incidentally as illustrating the opinions of
legislators and the schemes believed by
their originators to promote the good of
mankind. The confidence of Congress I'm
the institution and it's liberality in dealing
with IL is continually manifest, and the
record here given will rebound to the fame
OF James Smithson, the honor of the nation
and the reputation of the establishment
In the preparation of this work an ex-
animation was made of every page of the
Congressional Globe and Record Of the
journals of the Senate and House. the
Statutes at Large and the congressional
documents and reports, from 1885 to 1S99
The table of contents and the index are
made as comprehensive and minute as pos

by drumhead court-martial and condemned
to be shot.
On the way to the place of execution he
said that he had left something behind. and

Municipal FfaRchises.
from Municipal Affairs.

The Importance of tho general principles
laid down in Governor Cranes message
upon the new subway for Boston is the
fact that they have been Endorsed by one
house Of the state legislature by con-
siderable majority warrant careful thought.
Briefly summarized, they are:
/. Municipal franchise should not be
granted to private corporations without
the consent of the city in question.
q The referendum is a proper method of
determining local opinion
3. Public rights should not be surrendered
for an unusual term of years. Each gen.
own course. sa 49,
4. Public property should not be surren-
dered to private interests without fair COM
pensation.
8. Municipal +subways are not expert

strated
Q. Stock watering in public service sor-
porations should nGt be tolerated. Liabiii-
ties should equal approxinateiy the actual
value Of the property.

kear.arse and Alabama.
From the Savannah News.

General Harrison, major general of the
Alabama division of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans. has written to Secretary Long
of the navy suggesting that the battle ships
Kearsarge and Alabama be selected to
represent the United States navy at the
coronation of King Edward. The sugges-
tion is good. General Harrison, however.
makes the error of supposing that both
ships were named for the famous war ves-
sells that first bore those names. The Kear-
sarge was unquestionably SO called in hon.
or of the first Kearsarge, but the Alabama
was named for the state and not for the
Confederate cruiser Still there is a senti-
mental connection between the present
Kearsarge and Alabama.

Electricity for Trunk Lines.
From the New York Tribune

Where electricity has displaced steam on
American railways thus far the innovation
has been made only on suburban lines like
the Nantasket branch Of the Old Colony,
on elevated roads or in some such special
trains through the Baltimore tunnel Hith-
erto the operation of trunk lines by this
agency has never been undertaken in the
United States. Hence the Great Northern
in employing electricity to haul freight
over the Cascade mountains, in Washing
ton, will be path breaker In q new .lrec-

some better way Of getting rid of filth than
throwing II into our marine dooryard.
The other thing is our management of our
water supply. Mr.. Nakajima has nothing
put admiration for the Croton system as
lar as 1t goes But 1t does not go far
enough-not as far, for example as that of
TOXIC. Our Japanese friends have learned
TO do what scores of cities in Europe and
the United States have for some time been
doing-namely. to purify water by filtration.
AS long as fifteen years ago Mr. Nakajima
learned to 90 this, and practically and most
successfully applied his knowledge in the
japanese capital. But our New York pur-
veyors of water continue to treat us to a
fluid favored at times with defunct fish
and decaying vegetation, and even contain
ing a menace of typhoid, and helplessly re-
gard filtration as an untried and impracti-
cable thing, which 1t would be rash for this
city to undertake.
We long ago pointed out that Budapest
had underground trolley, lines working to
perfection for years befores New York
transportation companies, in much more
favorable circumstances, could be persuad-
ed that such a thing was possible. Having
thus Jagged behind the Magyars, it is per-
haps only fitting that we should lag be-
hind the Japanese. But for how long? II
really ought to be possible for this western
metropolis to keep within a dozen years OF
so OF the people whom our own navy, with
in the memory of men now loving, reused
out of mediaeval barbarism. Let US humb-
ly admit that New York must be content
to learn from Toxic. At least let 1t learn
and learn with some degree of promptness

Admiral George Dewey, president, and b.

a form said to be recognized in all courts
of inquiry, the signatures of the other mem
bers not being necessary. But it Is ex-
planned that Admiral Dewey signed the

his qualification of or dissent from the
