has no claim on the former. There are excep-
tions enough to this intelligent understanding
on the part of individuals and even OF whole
unions; but the gratifying. fact is that they are
exceptions, and that the great body OF Amerl-
can workmen understand where their best In
terests lie. The part that American employers
have had in bringing about this understanding
has been decisive one, and 1t is this that the
most clearheaded English observers are now
holding up before the employing classes IN
England as something they must in some way
or another initiate. The American employer
has known the truth, seen the necessity that 1t
should prevail, and has managed to make it, on
the whole, prevail. 1t has been done In many
ways sometimes silently, sometimes noisily;
sometimes through reason and argument. some
times through strife and conflict. Sometimes its
progress toward prevalence has been checked
and set back; and it is not at all points equally
advanced toward recognition. But herein lies
one of the important factors in the advancing
power of industrial America throughout the
world, and an important element In the superior
prosperity and higher position Of the American
workman: The American captain Of industry"
has understood his function broadly and with
an enlightened selfinterest that has benefited
his employees no less than himself.

STREET AND SIDEWALK EVILS.

genuine boon Of no small magnitude will be
conferred upon the city if Commissioner Wood
bury secures the enactment and the enforce
ment OF his ordinance for the removal Of snow
and ice from sidewalks. The present law, re-
Guiring the owner or occupant of property to
clear snow and ice from the sidewalk and gut
ter. Is In innumerable cases disregarded. 1t is
seldom regarded at all IN the case of vacant lots
or vacant houses. Often the occupant of a cor
ner house viii clear the sidewalk at the front,
but not touch the much longer stretch at the
side Of the house. Theoretically, q fine may be
Imposed In every such case Practically such
fines are not imposed; or If they are, they are
quite Ineffective for the purpose. Every snow
storm sees the law openly disregarded In thou
sands Of cases, not only in the outskirts, but in
the densely occupied residence parts Of the city.
, In some way. too, the sidewalks should be
kept reasonably clean after the snow and ice
have been removed. In some parts of the city,
where the streets ruin at considerable gradients,
the sidewalks are used as coasting grounds by
children, and even by adults. In such places
some people refrain from clearing off the snow
in order that the sport may not be marred,
while the coasters deliberately shovel. back the
snow upon such parts Of the sidewalk as have
been cleared, so as TO make good shedding

GREAT DAMS AND RESERVOIRS.

The early years of this century will the
completion of many great bridges and dams and
reservoirs This Is generation of gigantic
enterprises in engineering as well as In many
other fields Of expansion and development. How
important and far reaching will be the changes
which will follow the construction of the huge
dam the Nilei In New-York and in Massa-
chusetts two of the biggest and costliest arti-
fcial walls ever devised for the holding back
of billions of gallons of water are now rising
slowly but steadily. The stupendous new ram
part in the Croton Valley will impound for the
uses of this metropolis an artificial lake of
amazing extent almost uprivalled in the world.
In Clinton, Mass, the south branch of the
Nashua River is TO be made use of for the
filling of a reservoir which will bountfully
supply Boston and its neighboring cities for an
almost indefinite period.
Some fears have been expressed In various
quarters lest the new Croton Valley Dam, the
new Jerome Park Reservoir and the huge wall
in Massachusetts, may give way at some time in
the future, with appalling losses of life and de-
struction of property, In New-England few
apprehensive people have compiled statistics
Of the disasters due to the bursting Of reservoir
barriers In modern centuries. 1t must be ad-
mitted that the showing is one not to be lightly
passed over. In many instances engineers have
been inclined to take risks too boldly. The
margins of safety for some celebrated bridges,
and for water ramparts also, have not been
sufficient. 1t has been suggested that II will be
the part OF wisdom to strengthen the works at
Croton at Fordham and at Clinton to such an
extent that no intelligent observer will feel
concerned over the possibilities of a catastrophe
similar to the Johnstown food.
These colossal undertakings will require the
Of
accordance with the present plans, but millions
more should be added to the outlay II necessary
in order to allay anxiety. These vast reservoirs
are 10 be made with the expectation that they
will endure for ages. There should be no rea
son for the slightest uneasiness as to their
security. Frightful indeed would be the
calamity which would attend the giving way
of any OF the dams which will hold the waters
OF these great artificial lakes In check. The
biggest OF dams and reservoirs should surely
be also the strongest and safest

THE POPE REBUKES FRENCH ROYALISTS

THE fOTG fLDChLS FhENOH hOf ALISIS.
Monsignor Pechenard, who has just returned
to Paris from Rome where he had an interview
with the Pope, has brought back message to
the Catholics OF France from the Pontiff which
may have far reaching effects on the political
situation in that country. With few excep-
tions French Catholics, of course, opposed the
passage Of the Associations bill, and in taking
this attitude they doubtless had the approval of
the Vatican; for whatever else might be said
In favor of the bill, it certainly antagonized
great and important interests in the Catholic
Church. That Catholics, therefore, should look
upon the measure as fraught with danger to
the Church IN France was entirely natural, and
in doing what they could to defeat it they could
be reasonably sure of the friendly sympathy of
the Pope.
But according TO Monsignor Pechenard, Leo
XIII is angry at small group OF antirepubli-
can Catholics who opposed the Associations bill,
not on broad grounds of justice ard morality,
but solely because they believed that the repub-
lie must per sc be opposed by all good Catholics,
who should labor FOR the restoration of the
monarchy. In the opinion of the Pontiff these
men, though ostensibly working for the IN
terests Of the Church, really put the Church in
false position. and he holds them largely
responsible for the passage of the bill. He is

An unfortunate asperity seems to be making
its way into the debates and discussions with
regard to the selling of liquor on Sundays. 1t
is said of the potent concoctions called stone
fences" in Maine and ''fussfungle' in McKees-
port that they are fiery enough to bring about
a fight in church. But 1t is surely possible for
sober, reasonable. intelligent people to consider
the question of opening saloons during certain
hours on the day of rest without flying into wild
RACES and bursting into dynamite explosions.
