"VNCLF TOMS CABIN"

It has been decided by the city superintend-
ents of the public schools that Uncle Toms
Cabin" Mrs Stoves story OF Life Among the
LowIy," has served its purpose; that it has no
value for the reader of the present time and
that It should be eliminated from the catalogue
of the class libraries of the public schools So
by the decree of the learned associate city
superintendents and the superintendent of Ii
braries. Uncle Tom and his woes, the ethereal
Eva. the tyrannical Legree and the impish
Topsy will be withdrawn from the scene, in
order that the children may not spend their
valuable time in reading about an era that is
no more and institution that has been blot
ted out
The officials who select the reading matter
for the children of the public schools deserve
praise for taking from the shelves books of a
harmful character and all literature the pursuit
of which would be a waste of time. But the
removal from the reach of their charges of
Uncle Toms Cabin" with its plantation pict-
ures its scenes and incidents illustrative of the
institution of slavery and the manner in which
It was conducted, its humorous and pathetic
flavor and, above ALL its truly religious back
ground and atmosphere of patriotic American
ism, will cause some comment and criticism.
The argument brought in favor Of the action
was that the book treated Of the days of slavery
In the South, and. inasmuch slavery existed
no longer, the book should be barred from cir
cuation among the children. The men who
voted to exclude the book probably had In mind
also the fact that "Uncle Toms Cabin" con-
tained much pertaining to the South as it was
before the war which was exaggerated and dis
torted, and they saw no reason why these mis-
representations should be handed down to the
rising generation.
There is unquestionably some force IN these
arguments but we agree with those who think
that the book should have been allowed TO re-
main where the children could read It Uncle
Toms Cabin" whatever its faults, enormously
stimulated the agitation against slavery from
which it sprang and almost universally trans
lated. created a deep impression throughout the
civilized world. The institution which 1t de-
scribed has been uprooted. A new, vigorous,
healthy South has sprung up where the South
in which Uncle Tom lived and where a Legree
was possible existed. But those who ascribe TO
the book place among the forces which Oblit-
Grated slavery think that taking 1t off the
school catalogues is like destroying the utter
ances of Garrison, Greeley, Phillips and
Beecher, or like depriving the children of the
stories Of the heroes who fell on the battiefieds
where the slavery question finally settled.
Uncle Toms Cabin will live despite the
action of the New-York school authorities.
People will read 1t because, with many exag-
gerations and crudities 1t vividly depicts con-
ditions of American life which passed away in
the flames of the Civil War which they
produced.

The designer of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, the
emperor of the oceans, is reported as saying
that in the construction of that vessel the limit
OF marine achievement has probably been
reached and will not be surpassed hereafter.
Nevertheless. it ought not to be forgotten that
generations ago the famous engineer who
planned the gigantic Great Eastern declared
that no ship of later days could possibly excel
that titanic but unfortunate hulk.

AS rule. the chief object for which the iden-
tifcation of disease germs has been attempted
is the manufacture of a protective or curative
agent therefrom. Generally speaking, too the
discovery of the cause has preceded the inVen-
ton of the remedy. Smallpox has onered
curious exception to the law. Vaccination has
been in vogue for about a century, but countless
experts have hunted in vain for the mischieI-
maker which it so successfully antagonizes- A
more than usually credible rumor comes from
Boston that this has been found by DR.. W. T.
Councilman and that it proves to be an animal
parasite, and not a bacterium. In this respect
it is more closely allied to the germ Of malarlai
fever than to those of other infectious diseases.
The fact that the world already has the means
of suppressing smallpox robs the discovery OF

The Tammany Malta evidently has 1t in for

It appears that there is so large number OF
enlisted men at the navy yard waiting to be
drafted to ships In commission that the rece1V-
ing ship is overcrowded. With accommodations
for only about four hundred there are thirteen
hundred to be provided for. Several months ago
the Surgeon General of the navy recommended
that the receiving ship system be abolished, and
that land barracks be built at the several navy
yards for the accommodation of enlisted men
while undergoing the preliminary training be-
fore being sent to sea. But Congress failed to
make an appropriation for such barracks; hence
the receiving ships must be continued.
