LORD rENNYsoN.s GOOD sENsF

LORD TENNYsoN's GOOD SENSE.
 The question of the proper salary for the Governor-General of Australia has, we fancy, been settled by speech from Lord Tennyson, who is now acting in that capacity. He has declared that
 e10,0O0 a year is ample to maintain the fitting dignity of the great post though not of course, sufficient to keep up a Court of Oriental magnificenee. The Australians like the Canadians and the South Africans wish the head of their world to be great gentleman, not intent on petty economical, but they have little reverence for splendor which any millionaire can, if he pleases, outdo. In South Africa $10. a year is barely sufficient to the preposterous price of everything, but that will pass away. The only expense in the free colonies which should not be thrown on Governors or viceroys is the keeping up of their residences, which should be stately, and remain the of the colonies.-London Spec

says that the American people are bet ter feeders than those of any other ma tion. with the possible exception of England. Their dietaries are far'larger than those of the Italian or the French .Or the German, and the result is found in the numerous cases of broken down kidneys. He thinks that the American people could cut down their rations by one-fourth or one-fifth and be better for it in every way. Instead of using 5000 calories day, man of sedentary employment would get along with 2,6OO ealories and feel in better shape for the economy. He does not mean to say that because we eat more than any other people all the other nations are healthier than we are. They have features of environment which are not as favorable as they are with us and this serves to equalize matters. For instance, while the Frenchman does not eat as much food as does the average American, he drinks more ab- sinthe and other poisonous connections of that character. What he gains in health by moderation in eating he loses by indulgence in injurious liquors. The German drinks beer to excess.
 If we are as healthy as other people in spite of the fact that we eat too much, just think how superior we should be if We didn't eat too much. We should beat all creation in health, as we do in many other things.

PERRY HEATH's CASE

The talk is that Perry s. Heath, Mc- Kinley's first Assistant Postmaster General. and Secretary Of the Rspub- Iican National Committee. will have to resign his secretaryshiD because of eompIicfty in the postal frauds. Those who have seen the Bristow report say that it gives the former First Assistant Postmaster General a terrible arraign- ment. It alleges that the lax and care less methods of this individual made possible the graft games of his subordi- mates and that no measures were taken by him to see that the affairs Of the office were run on an honest basis. Machen and Beavers were given prac- tically free rein, made contracts at prices to suit themselYes, secured ap- pointments without number for their political friends in direct violation of the civil service laws, and in other ways carried matters with high hand and without interference from Heath. It will be charged that the later was in the habit of going outside his own office in finding places for political friends, and that he. more than any, one else, was responsible for the abuses of the payrolls of the Washington postoffice.
 It is further said that at first the president didn't intend to prosecute Heath. He was opposed 'to raking over dead mems bones," that is to pros- ecuting prominent officials of the Me- Kiniey administration. Now he has changed his mind, and unless the stat ute of limitations prevents Heath will be prosecuted. It is an interesting sit- uation, but it is evident that the Repub- lean party can't afford to stand by Heath.

ELEC7RICI1Y AND 4EEES.

What ails New Haven's shade trees? Some say neglect, some say gas and some say electricity. Those who think electricity is very deadly to trees will be interested in and surprised by re- port which has just been made by the Hatch Experiment Station of the Mass achusetts Agricultural College. From this report it appears that no authen- tic cases have been observed where the alternating current, employed for light ing service. has killed trees, though there are authentic cases. extremely rare, where the direct current, used in operating street railroads, has killed large shade trees. This has been ac- complished by reversing the polarity, causing the positive current to traverse the rail and the return current the feed wire, which usually carries the positive. The high resistance offered by trees and plants in general serves as protection against death from an electrical con- tact. The least resistance in trees oc- CUTS in the vital layer and those tissues adjacent to it. Electric currents of whatever nature. when applied to plants of g. certain intensity, act as a stimulus. The physiological effect of the direct current on vegetable life diff fers from that of the alternating; the latter current acts more as stimulus to the plant than the former. There is evidence to support the idea that cur rent Of not sufficient strength to cause burning may overstimulate the plant and cause retardation of its activities which will subsequently result in death. Earth discharges during thunderstorms are more common than generally SUD- posed. and they are known to disfigure and cause the death of trees.
 So it is not likely that the electricity in use in New Haven is killing the elms. Their condition may be charged to gas and neglect until somebody rises up and eliminates gas from the charge.

BIC ENGLISH CANAL scHrm E.

All the enterprise isn't in this coun- try. A great canal scheme for the English Midlands is under considera- tion and likely soon to be put into exc cution. The object of it is to connect Manchester and Liverpool with the Potteries, Wolverhampton, and Bir- mingham. A surveying party has been making an exhaustive examination of the levels with view to beginning dig ging operations in the course of few months. It is believed that the pro- motors have the support of the Mersey Weaver Navigation trustees, and that the canal will be an extension of their system. This runs from Weston Point, at the junction of the Manchester Ship Canal and the Mersey estuary, to Wins ford (Cheshire), and at present carries large proportion of the salt, chemical and earthenware traffic of the country It is proposed to extend this canal so as to admit of the passage of steamers of three hundred tons to the Potteries, Wolverhampton, and Birmingham. There is small canal already existing, which only carries barges of from twenty-five to fifty tons, and the china and earthenware manufacturers are en- enthusiastically in favor of a waterway which would enable them to secure their china clays in larger bulk and ex- port ware without transshipment and consequently at much less expense.
 It is announced that the local cham bers of commerce are expected to fur. nish substantial aid to the enterprise, which indicates that chambers of eon1- merce may really be helpful.

A military road, well built, leads from the coast into the same important lake country mentioned aooYe. approached here from another direction. Mindanao is a very large is- land and it is very rich in all its re- sources. From the steamer we have no view of its wide valleys. which can be made into most fruitful fields. What it yields now under very partial cultiva- tion is suggestive of what the island might become under the impulse of cap- ltal and enterprise, and the same is true In only less degree of other islands that lie here unawakened from tropical slum- bers.

DRINK CURSE OF LONDON.


 A Grocer's License Claimed to be the
 Greatest Curse of the Age.
 The evidence showing the extraordi- nary extent to which the drink curse has undermined the social, physical and moral welfare of the. people is over whelming. at
 All in g position to judge are as one in the opinion that the great mass of the people have no conception of the rava- ges which the consumption of drink especially of the cheap and poisonous kinds-is making upon the physical and moral condition of the people. through the weaker sex.
 A doctor with large practice in the suburbs told an Express representative that grocers' licenses are among the greatest curses of the age. T have traced,'' he said, many cases of alco- holism among women to this source. The evil begins with the grocers' license and in short time the public house is patronized. ..t.
 Another evil is the medicated wine, the trade in which has vastly increased during the past few years. Scores of people who would not touch ordinary wine or spirits ask if they may take a little of somebody's medicated wine. It is nothing but ordinary wine to which a drug has been added.
 ''It is my firm conviction that the use of such wines cultiyates, and in some cases awakens, a craving for alcohol in stronger form.' s
 A member of a public body in West round the best parts of the borough on Saturday night The passing of we'll dressed women in and out of public houses of the better type was continu- ous. A visit was paid to what is an ad- mittedly well-conducted "hote1." In the saloon bar were forty-five persons, twenty-five of whom were women, in- cluding six young girls with young men, evidently sweethearts.
 If you saw what have to see every day of my life," said head master of a board school in the East End, ''you would hope that the children sent away by the Fresh Air fund would never come back. If we could only take the children out of the atmosphere in which they are compelled to live there might be some hope for them.
 with public houses at every street corner, where boys and girls play every night for want of better place, what wonder is it that the scenes of drunken, fighting women dull their perceptions and lead them to look upon drunkenness as one of the usual features of their ex- istence. ."-London Express. .>. -...

A FORECAST.
The Probable Extension of Electric
 Service

The Probable Extension of Electric
 Service.
 As soon as the terminal improve ments of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads are completed, we shall witness the anomaly of great train service handled by locomotives up to certain points and thence into and out of the city by electricity. This will mean opportunity of comparison be- tween the operating expenses per train mile or per passenger of local and through traffic. The result of such comparisons will undoubtedly be to ex- tend the electrical service further afield, until in the one case locomotive haulage will probably stop at Philadelphia and in the other case at Albany. Whether steam can long successfully complete with electricity between Albany and Buffalo and between Philadelphia and, say, Harrisburg, is doubtful. This pro- cess of reconstruction is going on all over .he United States. and especially in the centers of population. Within 15 years .he electric railroads of the United States have grown from their first tentative and experimental begin- nings to. a system representing a cap- italization Of over $2,0o0, 100000. That the steam railroads are feeling their competition very keenly is we'll known. Not only are they making great in- roads upon their passenger business, and that of the kind which has always been most profitable, but they are com- peting successfully for light freights, and in the middle West many of the in- terurban electric roads are arranging an equipment of sleeping cars, which will take practically, all of the travel for which the steam railroad could not afford to make provision. Two years ago James J. Hill, whose judgment in railroad matters is counted extremely good, made the following statement, which was to some extent prophetic: The forces to determine in the future construction of new lines of railway in the United States are the need for bet ter terminal facilities and the special requirements of particular sections. That the building of great trunk lines has come to an end is shown, I think, by the fact that during the past dozen years there has been steady decline in steam railway construction in all parts of the United States.
