OF all which has been written about the
actual conduct Of the South African war-and
il has been much-nothing seems more deserv
ing Of serious attention than the report OF Cap
tain Slocum. L. s. A. That officer was detailed
TO accompany the British Headquarters Staff
and from the vantage ground thus afforded

of an impartial expert. His chronicles and
comments are now published by the War
Department, with only the omission of certain
passages in which certain operations are dis

forth facts which must ever be cause for regret:
such. for example, his confirmation of the

of explosive bullets by the Beers. But most OF
what he says is calculated TO send thrill OF
pride through every sympathetic reader. Thus
of the Beers especially of General CrOnje and
his comrades. he says: Words fail me TO
express adequately my admiration for their

we might have expected a just observer to say
of the descendants of the defenders of Rochelle

MORE T4MM4NY ROBBERY.

The Controller gives the poor property owners
of this city a new insight into the way they
are robbed by his letter TO the Mayor concern
ing the system of public Improvements. Robbed
is the only word that truly meets the situation,
for il is nothing less than robbery for officials
10 permit the cost of unnecessary public work
10 be saddled upon neighborhood, and then
hold the contractors 10 their duty so loosely as
10 add largely 10 the expense of the work 10 the
persons assessed. Tammany pretends 10 be
the friend of the people but II is every year not
only wasting money which comes from the
general tax levy. but il is wrngng from the
small property owners who seek the outskirts
Of the city in search of modest homes vast
sums in excess of what they ought TO pay for
paving and sewering their streets just to pay
salaries 10 favorites and give contractors fat
jobs.
The system of local assessments al best has
its defects It is a convenient instrument for
favoritism. and sometimes for practical con-
fscation of property rights. Tammany officials,
according to the Controller. have not used IL
honestly 10 meet the needs of different neigh
borhoods. They have begun Improvements years
before they were needed or could be made use
of by The supposed beneficiaries and charged
up the cost 10 the victims. In some cases ex-
pensiye sewers have been built by neighborhood
assessment long before the outlets which II is
the city's duty 10 provide were built. so these
sewers We're of absolutely no value TO those
compelled 10 pay for them. The reason for such
enterprises is that certain officials get no sal
aries except from the property owners whose
improvements they oversee, and consequently
they are kept busy on pavements and sewers
by their political chiefs whether the works are
needed or not. The city plans the work. lets the
contract inspects the construction and then
charges the expense. including the salaries OF
the inspectors and engineers, 10 the neighbor-
hood Then the contractor Is permitted 10 take
often double the agreed time TO complete the
work and meanwhile the inspectors and other
city functionaries draw salary. II the work
were done TOO quickly they might be out of jobs.
The work is therefore prolonged, the penalties
for failure to live up 10 contracts almost
never enforced. and the poor property owners
find that their undesired improvement costs
from 20 TO 80 per cent more than II would II the
contractor had been held rigidly to his agree
ment
II will be interesting 10 see what the Mayor
will do in view of this revelation. Will he come
TO the rescue of the poor property owners and
discipline the heads of departments responsible
for this robbery: Even if he does he cannot
restore TO the robbed the vast sums that have
been wrung from them in the three and half
years of his administration. Their money is
gone. but perhaps the experience has taught
them that no class of citizens is exempt from
the evil effects of Tammany rule. So long as
they tolerate that they must expect 10 be robbed.

COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES.

The college commencement season has come
TO be in this country time for the delivery of
many interesting and important addresses, some
OF them by men of affairs who do not ordinarily
spread their views beyond the circle OF their
immediate associates. These addresses are no
longer delivered only TO the students and their
friends who gather in attendance upon COM
mencement exercises, but. under the modern
system of reporting. are listened TO by far
wider and more notable audience, as wide. in
fact. as the reading public. About the addresses
thus delivered there seems to be a certain free
dom Of thought and expression not often heard
elsewhere. Even men who are frequently called
upon 10 speak. in public addresses. through the
press and otherwise. seem in their words TO
college audiences 10 throw off restraint and say
larger and Iofter things. Perhaps it is that
amid academic surroundings they feel the pro-
priety of cutting away from the immediate and
the specific, Of turning their attention toward
the past and toward the future. so that the
present losing for the time it's disprOportionate
value. becomes only a moment Of history. 1t
is helpful and stimulating now and then TO look
upon this larger view; it makes for a greater,
not less fidelity TO the necessary details of
daily life.
II Is a significant fact that in these addresses
the note of the pessimist is almost never
sounded. Better than that there IL a spirit Of
hope and faith. of confidence in the high pur-
poses Of men and nations, of mutual trust. of
common interest in the progress of the world.
II there is criticism. II is OF the helpful sort,
made by men who are seeking to clear obstacles
away in order that advancement may be more
speedy. that hopes may be the more quickly
attained. Thus Bishop Potter's criticism nj
Rochester of the consular service was construc-
tive. not destructive. just President Schur-
mans warning of intellectual tardiness-thOugh
cannot consider his point of view wholly
fortunate-w intended TO stimulate intellectu-
ality, not discourage II. In connection with this
Il is interesting 10 observe that II there was
at any time a tendency on the part Of those
devoted 10 academic pursuits 10 balk in the face
Of greater governmental responsibilities moth
ing has been heard of II in the addresses delv
cred this year. There have been on the other
hand. notable evidences of full realization of

CHANCE TO GET PURE MILK.

The milk commission OF the Medical Society
of the County Of New-York whose address TO
the people of this city was printed on Saturday,
has undertaken task of incalculable impor-
lance. and is entitled to the thanks Of the
community for its disinterested and valuable
labors. What is more, it offers an opportunity
which should be promptly seized by those who
have any regard for their own health and that
of their children.
II WAS once believed and to some extent ii
is still thought. that the most serious disquali-
fications Of milk for household use are dilution
and incipient souring. Both of these are draw
backs. TO be sure but they comparatively
trifling ones SOuring shows at least that
poisonous antiseptc agents have not been intro
duced. and if tine added water is only pure it
merely lessons the nutritlve value of the milk
But it is now coming TO be understood that
unless the cows. their stables, the mixers and
the milk cans are all scrupulously clean. dis
ease germs of various kinds are sure TO creep
in These may not be detected 10y eye or taste
but they are almost as dangerous as so much
arsenic strychnne. Then, too. unless the
milk is promptly cooled there Is a chance that
toxins will be produced therein by bacteria
and thus lead TO mischieyous results. Every
year at about this time reads stories Of
picnic parties in the rural districts being sick
ened by homemade ice cream. At first the sus-
pcion of wilful poisoning is usually excited:
but chemical analysis soon proves that the
trouble was caused by ptomaines Had the
temperature Of the milk used In preparing this
| popular delicacy been properly reduced the
| multiplication OF the microbes which manu-
| facture the poison would have been prevented.
And yet, in spite of all that has been written
and printed regarding impure milk, the public
! is far from having any adequate idea of the
peril TO which il is subjected thereby Only
those who have personally investigated the
matter have due sense of It,

LOOT FROM THE AGREED CITY.

VALUABLE THINGS. INCLUDING
SOME GOLD.

Picking. June 23-There has been no meeting
of the ministers of the foreign powers at PekfnS
since last Tue sday. but the ministers themselves
all profess satisfaction with the present course

The Chinese forts have not yet been destroyed
1t has been determined that each nation VIII
destroy those forts occupied by its troops.
but the ministers find that the respective milf
tary commanders object to destroying Chinese
forts not occupied by their troops. Conse-
quently. the ministers will probably have 10 en-
ploy Chinese labor to effect the destruction OF
the unoccupied forts and at the joint expense
of the different powers.
Many Chinese eunuChs have been selling valu-
ables which without question came from the
Forbidden City. The valuables thus sold were

Members of the staff of Lii Hung Chang and
