Nuts For Tammany.

From the Baltimore SUM- April D.
Mr.. Milo Roy Matbie in an article in the
latest number of Municipal Affairs. pre-
pared, as he says, from statistics furnished by
Comptroller Coler, who is not in sympathy
with Tammany, points out that in the city
budget for 1901, which amounts to over $685.
900, 600, over 81 per cent. OF the entire expen-
dilures are andatory-imposed upon the
city by State legislation-and less than 80 per
cent are discretionary with the city govern
ment. He goes further and says that OF this
33 per cent. Of expenditures left within the
discretion of the city nearly half is in ef-
feet made obligatory by State laws which pro-
vide that certain city employes-for example.
the STRENGTHENING force, the policemen and
the firemen-must be paid at certain rates OF
wages.
Mr. Maltbie sums up this phase of The New
York municipal situation in the statement
that "Comparing the budget of 1901 with the
appropriation for 1900, one finds net in
crease of ST. 321 ,440.95, Of which 81. 875 per
cent is mandatory and 1925 per cent. dis
cretionary.n The practical bearing of this
upon the coming municipal contest is that.
while the Republican Legislature at Albany
CONTEMPORARY ignored Mayor Van Wyck
veto message simply because 1t was signed by
him as the representative OF Tammany, yet
the voters of New York city will surely be IN
hueneed by facts like these. the force of which
has long been felt and acknowledged by such
independent anti Tammany men as Comp
troller Golfer. In short, the partisan action
of the Republicans at Albany has permitted
Mayor Van Wyck, whom they have. all along
regarded as only the mouthpiece of Croker,
the opportunity to pose effectively as the
champion of home rule, the right of the city
of New York to govern itself and 10 be the
keeper of its own purse.

A Report That Should BE Read By
Every Woman.

The Illinois Association Opposed to the
Extension of Suffrage to Women have issued
its semi-annual report of progress of its work.
After giving the results ofthe legislative action
in the middle West in regard to woman suff
rage during the past winter, the report says
ssEverywhere there seems to be growing
conviction that the best work of women lies
along the lines of moral Influence and unseitish
endeavor, in realm where the golden rule
is not read backward. and that the lowering
of this high ideal to the plane of expediency,
trucking and bargaining. which the admission
of all classes of men to the ballot often makes
necessary in politics, would be distinct ca
Iamity to women themselves and 10 society at
large. At the same time these capacities, di-
rected through the home or through organized
effort to the formation and guidance of that
public opinion, which lies behind all law and
without the support of which statutory enact
ments are worthless, may render invaluable
and indispensable public service.
IF women would use as much intelligence
and energy as participation IN legislation
would require, In teaching their children, boys
and girls alike, in broad liberal way the
great principles Of temperance and chastity,
they would do more III generation toward
Graduating the evils of intemperance and im-
purity than they could do by century of vot:
ing. If in the same way they would inculeatp
and everywhere stand for the principles of
Justice and unselfshness and a true regard for
the rights of others in social, commercial and
political relations, they copd do more toward
reforming those conditions of society which
breed anarchy and are the despair of the prac-
ticaI politician, than they could ever do through
Legislative action. There is much evi.
dence that it is 10 these aims that thoughtful
phianthropic women are directing their at :
tenli0n rather than to suffrage.
"We believe there is growing recognition
of the fact that, instead of being social ad
vance, women suffrage is part and parcel of
that great retrograde movement which seeks
TO destroy the orderly organization of society
and reduce il to the absolute iudiyidualism
which characterizes only the lowest form of
social life. Advanced socialism is anarchy
one of its most conspicuous advocates has re-
Gently said, state of society without law,
without institutions with no bond of union or
principle ofgrowth except nnrestrained human
impulse; in short, a return to those elementary
conditions from which huInan society origin
ally sprung. We do not believe. that the
American people are prepared to abjure civil
izaiion for such nightmare.

Oranges in Maryland.
From the Washington Star.

The bureau of plant industry of the De-
partment of Agriculture is continuing its
experiments with view to the production
and propagation of sweet and edible
orange which will thrive in a northerly lati-
tude. 1t is the belief of distinguished bot
anists at the department that the produc-
ton of sweet orange which will flourish
in Maryland and Virginia is probability.
The results thus far obtaiend, it is said,
are encouraging.
Experiments along the line indicated
were begun by the department FIVE years
ago. A citrus trifoliata, or the japanese
orange, which is extensively used for
hedges, was selected as a parent, and its
buds were fortified with pollen from the
sweet orange. A double cross was made
by fertilizing the buds of sweet orange
tree with pollen from the japanese orange.
Seedlings from these parents are now four
years old and have been distributed in va
rious parts of the orange belt, where their
hardness has already attracted attention.
Some bearing trees have also been budded
from this wood with satisfying results
The crossing of the japanese and sweet
orange trees continues, and a citrus trifo-
liata, now blooming in the grounds of the
Department of Agriculture, has within the
last two or three days been impregnated
with sweet pollen, and the blossoms COW
cred with paper bags to prevent fertilization
with other pollen borne in the wind OF
carried by insects.

About IL. 40 p. M, on Friday, May 3,
an electric wire became entangled in the
shredding machine of the American Fiber
Company, in jacksonville, Florida, and a
disastrous confagration ensued. A strong
southwest wind was blowing, and in short
time the flames leaped from place to place,
until the greater part Of the city was a
seething mass of fire. Buildings were torn
down or blown to pieces, but the wind
seemed to shift from side to side until a
space two and half miles by half mile wide
was completely destroyed. All the public
buildings, business houses, hotels, banks
and churches were burned, making total
of over 1900 houses burned and 10, 900
persons homeless.
Several persons were burned to death,
and number, whose clothes were on FIRE,
plunged into the St. Johns river, prefer

to death.
The property loss is something over
