sFoEMAKERs AND CoBBLERS,

The machine made shoe is driving the shoe
maker Of former days out of business in this
country. While the cobbler Is still patronized
and the shoemaker still has some customers
who prefer the old fashioned, perfect fitting
boot, made in keeping with their ideas on the
subject Of footwear, the handmade shoe indus
try is not hourishing, and n shoem8kerS' ex-
hibition would not attract much attention here.
But such an exhibition will take place at Ham
burg in few months, and our consul at Chem
nitz calls attention to it in a report to the State
Department.
The prime object Of the exhibition Is said to
be the promotion Of technical education in the
shoemaking branch" It appears also that for
elgners will be permitted to take part in the ex-
hibition and to show the machinery which they
use in the manufacture of shoes. The German
shoemakers seem to be anxious to see the tools
with which we make our shoes and how they
are operated; but they are evidently afraid Of
the manufactured product, for Mr.. Monaghan
informs his department that shoes (which are
manufactured in foreign countries in bulk for
the general trade. and are placed upon the
market in large quantities may not be ex-
''hibited or sold at the exhibition" The ex-
hibition will offer q fine opportunity however
for bringing American shoemaking machinery
and American cobblers' tools before the Ger
man shoemakers and dealers. who, despite their
efforts in that direction, have thus far been un-
able to produce shoes with the finish" and
appearance of the American product, although
they pay our work a compliment by fashicning
their masterpieces after American models
The people who visit the Hamburg exhibition
will probably be convinced that the German is
our superior in the art of patching shoe. but
that he must come to us for instruction IL he
| wishes TO attain high place in the ranks of mod
srn shoemaking.

COAST WATERS As CEsspooLs.

The ancient but not honorable custom OF
using rivers and coast waters as recept8cles
for the sewage Of cities is being much dis
credited. Some cities have for one reason or
another abandoned it, in whole or in part, in
Guiding several Of the chief cities Of the world.
Others are being compelled to do so. We have
had much satisfaction in recording from time to
time the just judgments of courts 70 the effect
that such disposal Of sewage constitutes a nui-
sance, for which indemnity may be exacted
from the offending municipalities. One Of the
most serious cases Of such river pollution is the
painfully familiar one of the lower PaSSaic
River, in New-Jersey. The prompt redemption
Of 1t from abominable contamination s now
recognized as an imperative necessity, and
elaborate plans have been prepared for that
purpose. But these plans provided simply for
the diverting of the sewage from the river and
the pouring of 1t instead into the coast waters
OF New-York. To this it ia now intim&ted New
York will make objection. and the expectat1on
is that the plans viii have to be 90 materially
modified IS to provide some other means Of dis
posing Of the sewage.
It Is pity that there is thus danger Of fur
ther delay In cleansing the Passaic Yet we
must concede that Eew-York has a right to OBJ
3ect and indeed, is wise to object to the
pouring Of New-Jersey's sewage into her coast
waters. It Is true that New-York City thus
dieposes Of its sewage. One Of these days it
viii stop doing 90. But while It ts % foolish and
&c GIthy as thus to defle its waters and TO
waste great riches, there is no reason why 1t
should permit another State to DO 90. Each
stste should provide its own ceespools-that Is,
Il II means to cling to that evil system. There

by the Drainage Boards experts that not only
