A couNnILMANIC JuNKRT

In exposing the matter OF the coun- |
cilmanic iunketing trip, the Every |
Evening has performed a public SER
vice. If. as it charges, the money to
pay these bills is taken from the city
treasury. the case is bad; but II, added
to this. there is an effort to conceal
that fact. then it is time, indeed, that
things were looked into. Hitherto our
contemporary has evinced a disposition
to ignore Council in its exposure OF in
efficiency and waste in our depart
ments OF government, and If its charges
in this instance. which are made with
considerable particularly. are true, all
good citizens viii. commend It Tor its
utterances.
There is no doubt that such ex-
penses are usual. the councils of the
majority OF large cities being given to
such trips. the taxpayers footing the
bills. But there is nothing save Gus
tom to excuse the habit. When our fl
nanoes are in such a deplorable condi-
ton. and the tax rate is without prece-
dent. one would suppose that mel
elected to guard the city's interes
would hesitate to take from her treas
ury a large sum for mere pleasure
trip. There is almost indisputable evi
dence that for the last four or nv
years these trips have been paid 10
by public funds; yet no reports hav
been made TO Council, and the mat
ter has been concealed as far as pos
sible from the public. No one can d.
fend such a course. even though it
shown that the trips are desirable.
It might be different if we were a
sured that the convention relating
the government OF municipalities whi'
they ostensibly attended. had been ab
to exercise beneficial influence. B

We have always he'd that the only

TO educate the people against the liquor

A third article which win be read by

best be debated in this sole surviving

interesting catalogue replete with
good Illustrations describing the

The cherished idea of the commun-

their products have widespread repu-

Scribners Magazine for September
begins a notable series of three arti-
lcles. to run through the Fall numbers,
giving in a condensed and graphic way
the history of THE United States
Army" as a fighting machine, from
Washington's assuming command at
Cambridge to the capture of Agui-
naldo. The announcement of Major
General Francis V. Greene as the au-
thor of these articles will particularly
commend them to well-informed read
ers. General Greene by descent and by
actual experience has the closest con-
nection with the Regular Army. He is
a collateral descendant of General Ma
thaniel Greene of Revolutionary fame
and the son of General George S.
Green. who distinguished himself in
AiAN 1ANAA wal anu nt IAnAotll 10 a.
West Pointer, distinguished writer
on military subjects, and, as everybody
will recall. received the surrender of
Manila. What General Greene has
written is not a history of wars, but
a narrative of the organization and de-
velOpment of the army 1t is peculiar
ly appropriate at this time, when the
new army bill has lust gone into eff
feet to recall the preceding stages of its
development. The narrative of course
includes brilliant pen pictures of great
generals, and condensed and graphic
descriptions of their campaigns.
The number also contains a long
poem in blank verse by Thomas Mel
son Page; shorter poems are by Mar
guerite Merington Rosina II. Emmett
Edith NJ Thomas; there is also an ar
ticle On the "Engravings OF Paul Re
were" by w. L. Andrews, illustrated
with many examples.

THE LITERARY WORLD

The Popular Science Monthly for
September opens with a well il,ustrat-
ed article on the great biological sta
ton at Naples by Professor w. A..
Herdman. Of Liverpool Most readers
will, however, turn first TO the address
on the combating of tuberculosis,
given by Professor Koch at The recent
congress in London, as the reports al
ready published in the daily papers
have attracted wide attention. The
address gives a very clear and in
tere5ting account of the present con-
dition of knowledge in regard TO con-
sumption and the means by which it
can be combated. 1t also announces as
the result Of recent experiments that
tuberculosis cannot be communicated
from man to cattle and probably not
from the lower animals to man. Among
other articles in the number is the con-
Guiding part of Have.ock Ellis study
of British Men of Genius;" a sketch
of Henry Cavendish by c. X. Edmunds,
an illustrated explanation Of how bio
logical problems can be studied by
statistical methods by Professor c. b.
