vile, though there may be none where
more care is taken with the actual
cleansing of clothes.
The blame for the filth is laid to the
over-worked road department. True,
the business of the road department is
to keep the streets clean, but it is the
duty also of the people who live ada
cent to such thoroughfares to refrain
from making them repulsively dirty.
The chief culprits in the present case
are the people who occupy the laundry s
big tenement. These, we are informed.

ness, made possible, we do not doubt
by their habit of tossing everything
Objectionable into the street. But is
there no way to protect the public from
this practice? If an institution which
exalts its sanitary claims has no pride
in keeping it's frontage from being
made pestiferous by it's tenantry, is
there no way in which the Board of
Health can cause both owner and ten
ant to sweat in court?

A correspondent of Truth. of London,
tells the following story: -
Ian old Cambridge friend of mine,
who had a good deal of the wisdom OF
the serpent in him, had farmer in his
parish in Norfolk whom he could not
get to church. Whenever he pressed
upon him his neglect or his bad exam
pie, he always met with the same ex-
cuse, You be too young and do not
know enough to teach such as T. At
last he gave up the farmer in despair.
But one day he happened to pass by
the farm while his parishoner was en-
gagged in killing a fine pig. Ny friend
said: What a pig! Why, he weighs
thirty-four stone!' What dost thou
know of pigs?' replied the farmer. 7
only wish he weighed as much When
they next met, the farmer, to his sur
prise, told my friend that the pig had
been found to weigh just thirty-four
stone. He added, much to my friend s
qualification, And thou wilt see me at
church next Sunday, parson.'

The Presidents Breathing Spell.

For the first time since the outbreak
of the Spanish war the President and
his secretary, Mr.. Cortelyou, are not
in the Presidents private Office every
night working late. Since the rush of
Inauguration week Mr. Mckinley has
been taking life somewhat easier. One
treason is that business is not now so
pressing, and another is that the PresI-
dent desires to get all the rest he can
before starting on his long western
trip. Up to the day of his second in
auguration there was scarcely night
when he was in the city, Sundays not
excepted, that he and his secretary
were not in the private office going
over papers until midnight at least.

Mr.. Loebenstein is quite right in his
statement that the taxpayers do not
want the County bill at the present
time. Eventually it must come, but II
would be the height of folly in the pres
ent state of our population and pubic
finances to permit anything of the KIND
There are only two classes that want
such a measure now; one is the credu-
lous group of suffragists that believe
what Emmeluth told them about the
County bill abolishing poverty among
the Hawaiians; the other is the coterie
of white politicians who want to legis-
late themselves into office. The two
elements are out for addition, division
and silence.

MR.. BAIRD AND Mr.. REYNOLDS.

The United States District Attorney
is quoted by an afternoon paper as
saying that the stenographic report of
his speech in the Sodergren case pub
lished in the Advertiser yesterday, was
garbled, and also that he did not re-
wise the report before it was given out.
He particularly says, 1.-The Advertiser

by any one interested. 1t was obtained

The report as printed in yesterday

word for word, of the report furnished
by and certified to as correct by Mr..
Reynolds, with one exception, viz:
that one paragraph of the report, re-
lating to Mr.. Kinneys reasons for OBJ
jecting to a continuance, is condensed
into the statement that Mr.. Kinney
objected to continuance and his OBJ
lection was sustained. This is prior to
sthe beginning of Mr.. Baird's speech
and bears no relation to it.
We have compared the certified copy
of the report in our possession with
that given out by Mr.. Baird, also pur-
porting to be certified to by Mr.. Rey-
nolds, and find that they differ more
or less materially in thirty-five diff

Part of the difference consists Of an
interlineation in the Advertisers orig

A Mate for Our "Jackass /"

If the United States has "jackass'

bill that is a little humiliating. The
bill bears on it's face the picture of
the American lock at the 500" In
place of the Canadian lock, which it
was intended to represent. The finance
department made the blunder, having
been misled in selecting the photograph
by Canadian steamboat that was in
the lock when the picture was taken.
