With the spread OF American in
auence In distant parts Of the world,
the work of the government scientific
bureaus is rapidly widening. The
Coast and Geodetic Survey has lately
been busy charting the coasts of Alas
ka and the Philippines. without ac-
'curate charts the growing commerce
nourished by the development of the
mineral wealth Of Alaska, and the rich
and varied resources OF the Philippines,
could not be safely conducted. An idea
of the amount of charting and survey
ing to be done may be formed from the
fact that our knowledge Of large part
OF the coast Of Alaska is still based on
the information obtained by early ex-
plorers and navigators, while in the
Philippines the existing charts are said
to be really Oriental in their untruth-
fulness.

College Lobby Discovered by War
 . Department.

From Washington to Chicago Tribune.
 It has been discovered by the officials of the War Department that the forty-five universities and colleges which have been making pretense of maintaining mili- tary departments have been supporting in Washington a sort of lobby. It costs this government fully 5000 600 every year in a sort of bounty paid to these institutions, with the statutory stipulation that these colleges shall include in heir curriculum military instructions along with depart ments of agriculture and mechanical arts.
 These forty-fve schools support in Washington a committee of three men. This committee has in charge the work of engineering legislation and looking af- ter the interests of the colleges, the com bined contributions of which support these representatives here during the "busy sea son." They are in evidence to such de- gree that the War Department has deter mined to compel the schools to fulfll departments. It may take legislation to accomplish this, in which event the com mittee will come in for some useful work
 They also have another task on hand The schools are making an effort to have added to their departments a branch in mines and mining at a cost to the govern ment of H0.000 every year for each school or nearly half a million dollars in the aggregate. This is a profitable effort on the part of the institutions, especially if they come no nearer carrying out the of the law in the projected branches than they have in the agYicul- ture, the mechanical arts, and the science of war.

WHO WAS TO BLAMEp

The narrow escape Of President RooBe- welt from deatll in a street-car collision has naturally caused great deal of news- paper comment, and much of it has been hysterical, unfair and at times bordering on the ridiculous. Almost without excep- tion all the blame is put on the motorman who is held up as a deliberate assassin in the estimation of q majority of those who comment en the accident.
 Some of these comments made by edi- tors at a distance are absurd. For exam pie. The New York Commercial asserts. without e particle of reason, that 'the trolley car was speeding along at the rate of thirty miles an hour. so the dispatches tell us.', The mot orman testifies that in his opinion the car was not running over eight miles an hour. Other eye witnesses vary just as widely as do the znotorman and The Commercial One says the car was coming ''at fast rate of speed" and another declares that 1t was running moderately fast"
 And thus the evidence varies 80 much that no one knows whether the car was running very :a4t or very slow. There wili doubtless be legal investigation and all the facts may then be brought out. In the meantime. 1t Is not out of place to consider the facts from an impartial standpoint, and one of the first things to do is to look at the circumstances. In the first place, the car was running on it's own right of way and on its regular schedule. The carriages of the Presiden- tiai procession were passing down the street on both sides of the car tracks. The motorman says he was running slow ly and carefully because of the crowded condition of the street, and thls state ment is certainly reasonable, and his conduct, if he speaks truly, is just what would be expected of any man who was orator.
 But, leaving out the question of speed we come to the matter of responsibility. The fact is undisputed that while the car was coming down the track, ringing it's bell and making all the noise and rattle and clapg incident to street-cars. the oriver of the Prssident's carriage delib- erately turned his horses across the track ahead of the coming car. The latter was not only plainly in sight. but was equally plainly in hearing.
 Now, who was primarily to blame? The driver of the carriage could both see and hear the car coming. if he had been pay ing any attention to his business, and ii he was a man of ordinary sense, he should have known that he couldn't get his team and carriage aeross in time to avoid collision. And he was compelled to know. admitting that he was sober and sane. that the car could not Dc stopped
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-09-09

after the motorman saw the team turn across the track, even if the car was running at only moderate rate of speed,
 The question then is how could an ac- cident be avoided? The Springfield (Msss.) Republican, in its anxiety to put the blame on the street car officials, de- clares that mo electric car should have been running in the place during the pass age of the Presidential party" and goes on to say that the city of Pittsfielu will be forever discredited." In other words. a public corporation should have sus- pended business, and thousands of people be disconnected, because a Presidential party was passing along the streets! That, 1t occurs to us. Is an excess of toadyism. Street cars stop when fu- neral proce ssion is crossing, and if any other important procession is actually crossing the tracks. the cars might stop as a matter of courtesy, but we certainly do lot admit that a city is discredted because a street car company fails to suspend business on one of it's lines while a procession is passing down the street on which the tracks run.
 s The truth is that the public and many of tho newspapers are not always will ling to be perfectly fair and just to rall- road nd street car companies. They seem to think that individuals have undisputcd right of way on the tracks Of any rail- road, and that cars of all kinds must stop, if necessary, and await the conve- 'nisnce of pedestrians and drivers. In the case of most street railways they have enough sins to answer for without sad ding them with the faults of others. man who thinks he has a right to cross the tracks just in front of an approach ing car, and then complains if he Is in- jured has a very one-sided view of rs- sponsibility. but there are many who think just that way. Street cars are not always managed just as they should be, as all of us know, but there is no jus tice in holding them responsible for the faults of trespassers.
 And SO. in the Pittsfield case, unless some evidence shall be developed to change our opinion, we feel compelled to hold that in this lamentable accident the fault was in the driver of the Presidents carriage

Flowers for the Table.

Table deco. ation mas of late grown into a veritable art, and costly one at that; still, in reality, success in this line is<far more a question of taste than of cost, though naturally the latter has con- siderable influence on the result. The more one kind of blossoms Is adhered to and the more naturally the flowers are arranged. the better they will look. It is wearisome always to refer decorative questions to the Japanese, but there is no doubt they are past masters in the matter, and it Is curious to notice how alb even the most beautiful, of their schemes make for economy. One great point is to have your floral display in harmony with the receptacles. The next is not to mix too many species, and abo ye all to be careful as to the greene.y admitted into the blossoms society. It is difficult to find a prettier decoration have it in perfection high vases must be used, the flowers must not be massed and the foliage must be carefully regu- lated to avoid the extremes or heaW. rises nev er look so well as in bowls, ar ranged loosely and a trifie stiffly. a la Japanaise. bearing in mind heedfully their natural method of growth.
 small amount of trouble will go far in les- sening the cost of flowers. When you bring them in unite them at once ana place them loosely in large bowl of wa oo exactly that of the surrounding atmos- phere; then after an hour or two lift them out and spray them very lightly with a little fresh water and arrange them in the desired vases to the water of which a small block of charcoal should always be added if practical. The next day a tiny morsel may be cut off the end of each stem the flowers rearranged in fresh water delicately sprayed, and thus treat ed they will last in good condition long time.
 Roses again, may with advantage be treated like the tulips and suit any recep- tacles, from plain glass to the costliest Sevres, but always look their best in bowls, especially if secured in position with the flexible Japanese leads. Roses need the spraying above recommended. and in hot weather benefit greatly if 1t is twice repeated in the course of day Roses in bowls with a few heads of lilies of the valley, with their delicate green spathes, make an ideal table decoration If you have the fancy to lay your flow CTS simply on the tablecloth. tie a little damp moss carefully around each stalk, covering this with sheet of tin foil and hiding this again with ribbon tie. This saves the poor flowers from the thirsty, dying look so common with flow CTS thus Arranged and so distressing to lovers of such things.

THEY WANT WATER.

'Montgomery's water supply is one thing which we envy her. and. if possi- ble in Columbus, we are going to dupli- cate it, says The Columbus Enquirer Sun. Envy is not a good feeling, ordi- narily, but no city in this broad land can be blamed for feeling envious of our wa ter. both as to quality and quantity. If there is anything more absolutely neces- sary to the health and comfort of peo- pie than a plentiful supply of pure wa ter, we know not what 1t is. and we have yet to see a community more highly fa- vored than this.
 Columbus has been experimenting with the water question almost three-score years. The writer of this we'll remembers town was conveyed to the citizens through pipes made of pine poles cut and bored near the school-house in .R.ussel County tat tHhs.et time, hut low Lee), where we were getting our share of education birched into us by good old Dr. Neislsr. The water system was on small and imperfect scale, as might have been ex- pected from the source of supply and the method of conveyance.
 The present system seems also to be unsatisfactory. Sixty and more years ago we hunted, fshed and bathed by and in the little creeks which now supply Co., lumbus with water. and at that time the water from those streams was as clear and pure as any spring or well. but we suppose such IS not the case now, or else the supply is inadequate. Whatever the reason may be. or whatever cause of complaint the people of Columbus may have, they are not satisfied. and appear determined to get something better. if they can. They should certainly bore a test well and ascertain if a supply of pure water may not be obtained in that way. If 1t can. cost should not stand in the way, for the assurance of health and comfort is worth far more than the cost of getting the water.

UP TO THE couRANT .

Bishop Henry M. Turner. colored. of Atlanta. has been having tilt with The Hartford Courant, and some of his com ments are rather warm. The Courant having alluded to him as "a foolish old mischief-maker.'' the Bishop hands back this one:
 know I am getting old, but up to the present I have never been in jail, never been dragged up by the courts Of the land, never been publicly disgraced, but have been the recipient of many honors that 1 am proud of. You may never live to be old. You may be hung or die in the penifentiary before you have the honor of becoming old.
 It occurs to us that plea of confe3- sion and avoidance. or something of the kind. is up to The Courant, if it proposes to keep up the argum ,nt. The dispute, by the way. is all about Turner's emigration schemes. He i as is well known. a strenuous advocate of negro emigration to Africa, or to some of our new posses. sions, and in his letter to the Hartford paper he has good deal to say about out rages and murders of negroes in "a cruel and unsratskni Aation like this." as he styles it. 1facbssth he says is of the usual style of slanderous charges against ali the white people of the South, and is not worth arguing over, If his emigration project would rid the country. North and south. of those negroes who are a burden ana discredit to their race. and without whom both the white people and the re- spectable negroes would be infinitely bet ter off. we could wish for him unbouhded success, but that is not to be expected or hoped for. He can't colonize that class, ana wouldn't if he could. If he gets any considerable numbers of his race to fol- low him, they will be of the class who can live peacefully and comfortably i'll the South. provided he has the choosing of them. Such negroes as we would-be glad to get rid of will not be welcomed by the Bishop.

The Man With a Barrel.

There Is an opening in Alabama just now for some msn with a barrel who is willing to join the "also ran crowd as Republican candidate for Governor. There will be some notoriety for the right man. but there will be no salary and very lit- tie satisfaction .-Anniston Hot Blast.
 The man with the barrel can find plenty of openings. if he will knock out the head of the vessel. There will always be those to welcome and profit by such perform ance. but the man who spends money to defeat Governor Jelks would much better shy his dollars at the sparrows. He would stand a much better chance to get something to show for hts money.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-09-09

The Workman freely and candidly ad- mits that The Advertiser did It's part, and a large part toward securing Governor Jelks nomination. In many respects The Advertiser is the ablest paper in the State. and we cannot but help admire ability. whether we find 1t in demi-god or devil. saint or sinner.
 We mean this for a real, genuine com piinlent to The Advertiser. and hope it will be taken as such. .-Bessemer Work man.
 e That was very nice, if The Workman had stopped there, but 1t didn't. The remainder of the editorial, and nearly the entire editorial space of the issue from which the above was taken. is flIed with harsh criticisms of this paper. The Work, man reminds us of cow that gives down generous quantity oe milk, and then kicks the pail over. Possibly 1t has a class of readers who enjoy that kind of journalism and must needs supply them with it.

CREAM of the SPECIALS

 CUBA.
outrages by Bandit Gangs May
 Force America to Intervene.


 From Washington to Chicago Tribune.
 Uncle Sam may be forced to intervene in Cuba in the interests of good govern ment and the protection of life and iib- erty unless there Is a decided change In the condition of affairs existing in the is- land. Forty bands of highwaymen arg roaming about rural Cuba kidnapping ana holding fer ransom those who are able to pay Advices received here indicate that every province of Cuba has it's band of highwaymsn, who defy law, spread terror throughout the rural districts and endanger life and liberty.
 A short time ago on the borders or Matanzas the son of Judge I.ancis of the Havana Supreme Court was Kidnapped on his fathers estate by one of these gangs. which demands $l.0OO ransom for his life. In Pinar del Rio province rich tobacco planter was forced to pay $2.6OO in gold under threats that in default of payment the bandjtti would hang him. assassinate his family, and apply the was paid under protest, and Don Remig- nio Rodriguez Fueyo, who is Spanish subject. repCf ted the outrage to the Span- ish Consul, and demanded better protec- tipon of the Cuban government and the rural guards.
 Outrages of this charter are of frequent occurrence, and, while a measure provid- ing for increasing the rural guard Is pending in the Cuban Congress, 1t has not yet become Jaw. Acts of lawlessness are quite common in the country districts, and unless the rights of the people are protected the United States government may be forced to intervene.
 Authority for intervention in Cuban af- fairs is found in the Platt amendment. which provides that 'the government Of Cuba consents that the United States may exercise the right to intervene for the preservation of Cuban independence, the maintenance of the government adequate individual liberty, and for discharging the obligations with respect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States, now to be assumed and under taken by the government of Cuba"
