Il would seem from the score of the

some foundation for the rumor. When
Roseburg and Eugene meet, some
thing is going TO happen, and II is
pretty certain that Salem has got to
get a move on and strengthen It's team
or take a third place. Salem is in the
game. and, being in, It must play the

THE CTTY'S CHARITIES.

Friends of honest government may well
point with PRIDE TO the improvements at
Blackwelrs Island as one OF the many praise
worthy and lasting achievements Of the Low
administration Commissioner Folks has not
only renovated and improved the equipment
which he found on taking office. but has added
new features for the scientific care of the SICK
poor. Chief of these is the hospital for con-
sumptives One tent has just been furn1shed
for use, and the isolation Of tubercular patients
can now begin.
Mr.. Folks's task was one Of the hardest that
devolved Oh the heads of departments CHOSEN
by Mayor Low Brutality is one of the salient
traits of Tammany, and that has always been
most strikngly shown in its treatment OF the
citv's unfortunate wards Money could be used
TO better political advantage in other directions
The sick, the MANNED, the matt and the bllnd
don't cast many votes, and they don't often
have friends among Tammany district leaders
and others high in the councils of the Wigwam.
It was not politically dangerous to neglect
them Appropriations which should have gone
to them were more productive when used 10
provide snecures for Tammany henchmen
When Mayor Strong took over the demorallzed
government Of the old city in 1895. his Commits
sioners Of Charities found that practically new
equipment was demanded for their work. Four
years Of Tammany misrule bequeathed to COM
missioner Folks lot Of diapdated buildings
and out of date utensils with which to care for
those who for one cause or another are de-
pendent on the cty's bounty. How credltaDly

TRE LEGISLATURE.

The legislature which adjourned yesterday
has been the cause of many alarms but its rec
ord Of actual accomplishments is on the whole,
creditable 1t has been about TO do a great
many had things, and the press and people have
been continually on the watch against various
threatened grabs. Perhaps that watchfulness
more than anything else has saved the legisat-
ure from itself; for certainly there has been
disposition on tie part of several influential
men TO push indefensible measures, most Of
which have with great difficulty been arrested
Doubtless the corruptionists have been in the
decided minority, but such are the convention
alities of legislative procedure that 1t is TO be
feared that but for public outcry many Of their
schemes would have slipped through unnotced
by their courteous colleagues. At any rate, the
press and outside public opinion and the vigi-
lance Of honest legislators have combined to
bury nearly every conspicuously bad bill and
10 secure some exceedingly useful and impor-
tsnt laws.
This city has been particularly well treated.
The bill allowing the investment Of the sinking
fund surplus In general fund bonds has been
passed, and that insures reduci- IN of at least
SS0o0,000 in the annual tax levy. The bill al
lowing the payment Of taxes between January
and October viii also result in q large saving

adoDted 70 amend the constitution TO fix the
debt limit Of this city without regard to the
water supply debt. Laws have been passed
finally making possible the Pennsylvania tun-
mel and the New-York Central terminal improve
nents. The Tenement House law has been sus-
1ained and improved. The three platoon bill
was killed in the last hours Of the session.
though with il went the needed increase OF the
police force. Unfortunately. the bill TO prevent

elevated railroad and secure q fair rental for
The use Of Battery Park was killed, and also
the bill enabling New-York City in case of need
70 do its own electric lighting. No rapid transit
legislation was enacted, and, though the Els
berg bill was urged by many students Of the
problem, II made 50 many sweeping changes Of
doubtful wisdom in the present law that its
failure is not 10 be regretted.
The most important general legislation was
the canal Improvement and the law increasing
the liquor tax by 80 per cent. The future OF the
canals IS now squarely before the people in the
form desired by the advocates Of enlargement
The legislature has given them the chance 10
say what they want. The increased liquor tax
vas undoubtedly the wisest Of all the methods
eroposed TO raise revenue TO avoid a direct tax

ALASEA AND THE INDIES.

An Interesting and not unwelcome contribu-
ton to the Alaska boundary controversy was
made last night at the dinner of St Georges
Society in the suggestion made by the presi-
dent Mr. Turtle, that Great Britain might offer
to give America some of her West India islands
in return for the coveted section Of the Alaska
panhandle. The suggestion was well meant. In
most friendly spirit. and is to be welcomed
as an expression of good will. From the British
point of view It doubtless seems practicable
and advantageous. But from the American
point of view ii is open to objections so grave
that most people will regard them as insuper-
able
The United States is not in the land trading
business. It acquires land now and then, by
conquest by purchase or otherwise, but it does
not sell nor in any way part with land it has
once acquired. 1t would be a direct reversal of
policy for this country to ALLEVIATE any territory
to the possession Of which II has ever had legal
title. With Great Britain and other nations the
case is otherwise. They have been in the habit
of trading territories. Indeed some Of these
very West India islands to which Mr.. Turtle re-
ferred were acquired by Great Britain in ex-
change for other lands. But it is not American
policy to do that sort Of thing, and we have not
observed the slightest inclination toward the
adoption of such a policy. Once American al
ways American seems TO be our established
and immovable land law.
For another reason the suggestion is welcome
That is that It implies an admission that the
American title to the Alaska panhandle Is valid
and that the British or Canadian claim to it is
unfounded. IF Dyea and skagway belong to
Canada, Canada ought to have them without
paying for them. A British offer to pay US for
them in land in h. +oy
TO a confession that they do not belong TO
Canada, but to the United States. It is simply
not to be supposed for a moment that Great
Britain would offer TO pay price for something
which was already rightfully hers. We are in
clned to think, therefore, that Mr. Turtles in
genious and amiable proposition will have 10 be
laid aside as impracticabIe.

THE BRITISH BUDGET.
Tuesday.

The British Chancellor Of the Exchequer had
in hand yesterday grateful task For some
years his predecessor had to deal with denclts
and to increase taxation. It is Mr.. Rltchle
happy privilege TO use a handsome surplus Ior
the reduction of taxation. Last year there was
a nominal deficit of $142,870,00O. This year
there is an apparent surplus of so4,oSoouo-
That change Of nearly 5000 100000 is most vel
come to the Finance Minister and to the British
taxpayer
Mr. Rftchie's proposals are simple. He VIII
leave the taxes on coal, sugar and tea ul-
changed In accordance with free trade ira
ditions he will abolish the tax on grain ana
four-an unexpected thing. since that tax mas
been productive Of considerable revenue with
out adding in the least to the cost of bread
Finally, he will reduce the income tax by four
pence in the pound. That is he will lower it
from a shilling and three pence to eleven pence.
That will still leave it higher than it has been
for half century, excepting during the Boer
war. and may provoke some burdened taxpay-
ers to ask why it could not have been reduced
still further and the grain tax have been re-
tanned.
On the present basis of taxation Mr.. Ritchle
estimated the revenue for the coming year at
STA. .S50OO0 or the largest in the history or
the kingdom. His tax reductions will reduce 1t
to S721 $685. 900, at which figure it will still be
the largest in Europe save that Of Russia. He
fixes the yearly debt charge at S135, 100000,
against less than $780, 100000 a year ago, and
will resume with $315O0,OOO payments to the
sinking fund, which have for some years been
suspended Four or five years hence. he prom
ises, sinking fund payments will amount to $40
100000 a year. and will thus be the largest on
record.
In brief, then. the budget Of 10000 comprises
an increase Of revenue. a decrease of taxation
and a resumption Of the process OF paying off
the national debt, These are all healthful and
auspicious conditions and are calculated to
promote cheerfulness and encouragement among
the British people.

NEEDED CHEMICAL RESEARCH.

Max Won Recklinghausen told the American
EIectrochemical Society the other day Of an in
ouirv which industry demands The electricians
have done much for the chemists of late years
by supplying them with the means Of produc-
ing high temperatures on large scale. Out of
that development had grown the production OF
aluminium, calcium carbide, carborundum,
graphite siloxcon and other useful substances.
The time has come said the speaker, when the
debt should be repaid. The chemists should
now give the electricians better insulating ma
terials None of those now employed are ade-
uuate to the growing needs of electrical science
Oil and certain gums are combustible. Asbestos
lacks mechanical strength. Mica is not flexible
Some of the varieties of glass that have been
used attract moisture. What is wanted is an
insulator that combines all of the virtues and
possesses none Of the drawbacks here repre-
sented.
It is safe to say that the first inspiration to
wrestIe with the problem thus indicated will
not be afforded by a sense of obligation on the
part Of one profession to another. AS yet the
world has not reached so lofty a plane of living
incidentally, however, Mr.. Reckllnghausen men
tfons more cogent reason for looking into the
subject The manufacture Of dynamos, motors
and transformers and the construction of cleo
tric transmission lines together open up q field
Of enormous extent for the Introduction of the
proposed improvements. The latter will GER
tainy prove a source of profit 10 somebody, as
they should. Such a research as is thus out
lined will call for time, talent and some money
but If It is successful the reward will be SUD
stantial
