teresting test of the submarine boat
Shark was held yesterday afternoon
in the outer harbor. The submarines

This law was attacked on the ground
Of il being class legislation.
# is also urged that the law is I'M

of the bill it reads: ANY person,
who lives with a prOstitute.'
This section was intended to be the
strongest part of the law, but it is
argued that it intended only to declare
il a felony for a person to live off of

fallen woman and did not refer to the
man who simply lives with a woman

SMAMPS OF NEW ORLEANS.

There is going on within the limits of
New Orleans drainage work that
swamp land between the building limits
of the city and Lake Pontchartrain on
the lower side of New Basin canal
This work began last November, and
has gone on continuously ever since.
The results are very satisfactory, even
though the canals have not vet been
connected with the pumping station.
A New Orleans land company, which
has bought up all of the swamp lands
from the New Basin canal to Bayou st.
John and from the cemeteries to the
lake, started a plan last summer to clear
out the water which has for years stood
on all that vast area The land is not
lower than the ordinary level of the city,
but the water has been kept in by the
levees, where there were levees, and
backed in from the lake, where there
was none. The area which is now be-
ing drained is protected from the lake
water by levees, and as soon as the
canals are completed and the drainage
should be as dry as any part of the city.
One effect of the draining of this
swamp will be to diminish the number
of mosquitoes, and when the land which
lies above the West End tracks is drain
ed, as well as that extending from the
New Orleans and Western to Bayou St
John, there ought to be a great decrease
in mosquitoes and malaria. On account
of the water which comes into the latter
areas from the lake they will require
leveeing before they can be effectively
drained.
If the proposed draining of the
swamps in st. Bernard is also carried
through, and the other sections between
the city and lake are treated as the
land company is doing its main track.
the end of the swamp trouble will be
reached and a vast territory added 10
the habitable portion of the city Jefer-
son parish has some swamp along the
lake, but this can be treated similarly.
This done and the drainage and sewer
are made effective in the city. so that
there will be no water standing in the
streets and no vaults of cisterns. the
MOSQUITO ought to become creature OF
historical. instead of hysterical. interest

vestigation of the charges against Griley
are friendly to the machine. Even
though the charges should not be sus-
tanned, the investigation may arouse an
unfriendly sentiment to Griley, and COM
pass his defeat for political advance
ment.
At the election next spring, six coun-
cilmen and six members of the board Of
education are to be chosen.
The six members of the council whose
terms expire are J. w. Blossom, First
ward; E. B. Snyder, Second ward; c. V
Wolf, Third ward: w. F. Weber, Fourth
ward; S. T. Howe. Fifth ward; S. A.
Swendson. Sixth ward.
Blossom will likely be a candidate for
reelection. He can get the Democratic
nomination if he wants it. If the First
ward can agree upon strong Republic
can nominee, Blossom would have a
hard row to hoe in the election.
Z. B. Snyder in the Second will likely
be the Democratic candidate again, and
the chances favor his reelection.
Z. V. Wolf will probably have a hard
hight in the Third ward. A large ele-
ment of people out there were very mad
when Wolf beat Snattinger by a still
hunt two years ago.
w. f. Weber. in the Fourth ward may
not be candidate for reelection. He
IS serving his second term, and would
nave very hard fight for renomina ton
in case he should be a candidate. Weber
has some hopes that he will be called
upon to be a candidate of the opposition
for mayor in case the prohibition Re
publicans split their support among
several candidates.
S. T. Howe, who is president of the
council. and is no doubt one of the
ablest all around councilmen that ever
sat in that body. will be reelected with
out much opposition in the Fifth, pro-
vided he will accept the office again.
S. A. Swendson of the Sixth has the
mayor idea in his system so thoroughly
that he will do everything possible to
secure his reelection to the council by
a large majority, in order to demon
stTate his popularity in the Sixth ward.
But Swendson has stirred up a lot of
enemies in the Republican camp, and
will probably encounter some hard OPP
position. His defeat for reelection to
the council would almost take him off
the map as possibility for mayor.
The MuIvane machine expects to be
the whip hand in the management of
city politics, and to do this, it must Sc
cure the control of the Republican city
central committee. This will lead to a
bitter fight in the Republican primaries
for the office of committeeman from the
various precincts.
At present. the city committee is con-
troIled by the prohibition faction, but
the machine thinks that it can recover
command by a little energetic work.
The machine used the city printing tight
as a lever to pry the morning paper in
to line. and will no doubt be able to
dictate the support of this organ
The fact that the spring election Is on
an "off year. will assist the machine in
carrying out its plans. 1t is hard 10
solidify the prohibition voters on an
off year.

PHILIPPINE TOBACCO.
Manila Brands Well Known, But Not
Generally Popular.

The recent bulletin on tobacco culture
in the Philippines calls attention to the
possibilities of Improvement in the quail
ity of the Philippine leaf and to an ex-
tension of its use in this and other coun-
tries. That the quality of Philippine to-
bacco can be improved by systematic
and scientific culture is much more cer-
tain than the matter of its greatly in
creased use in this country.
Manila brands are no strangers in our
market. The cherootS and other grades
have been offered to our smokers for
many years. But they have never found
popular favor and their sale has been
limited. Spain has used the Philippine
product in very considerable quantity,
but this has been due very largely to
the direct interest of the Spanish gov
eminent in the tobacco industry. The
greater part of the remainder of the
crop has found sale in the east and the
far east, where it has stood upon COM
parative rather than upon actual merit.
1t is better than the Trichinopoly and
other brands offered in that market at
prices which the average run of smokers
can afford to pay. Some English army
men and civilians stationed in that part
of the world become accustomed to its
use, and their return to England has
created a limited market for the goods
in that country
That the Philippines may produce
wrapper leaf which could be used in
place of Sumatra to a considerable ex-
tent is quite possible if not probable.
1t would not be Sumatra, but it might
make an acceptable substitute for it.
But any talk of producing tobacco in
the Philippines which will rival the
Vuelta Abajo of Cuba is quite on a par
with talk of producing Manila hemp in
Cuba. Through many and long contin-
ued experiments it has been fairly de-
termined that even the planting of seed
from the Vuelta Abajo district under
conditions of soil and climate approx
mating the Cuban conditions will not
produce a leaf which corresponds with
the famous Vuelta Abajo.-New York
