assn for the boss who was ready not merely to
work hut even to commit crime for his follow
eys. and that is the deliberate verdict of con-
stituencv of American citizens in Boston!
The advertising of the Curleys and their pun
isbment will probably serve TO deter some per-
sons who might not otherwise be warned from
following their path TO glory. But the popular
attitude toward them and their crime is de-
pressing. The Civil Service law Is perhaps not
enshrined in the hearts of the people. The Rox-
bury voters want places, and need not be ex-
pected to be especially scrupulous about getting
them. But the effrontery displayed in glorify
ing proved crime, in electing to office jailbird
means something more than mere affection for
the spols system. 1t means an overturning of
moral standards the absence Of even the tribute
Of hypocrisy which vice pays to virtue. The
iawbreaker. instead of apologizing, braZenly as
sumes superior virtue. and the community seems
to share his view. 1t is only one community
but how far is 1t typical of the popular spirit

CONDITIONS OF CITY HEALTH

Among the agencies for the promotion of COM
fort and good health for the people of New
York this winter there is plenty of hard work
and efficiency. The head of the Health Depart-
ment Dr. Darlington. has submitted statistics
showing that the residents and visitors are in
reasonably good condition, and that there are
no serious causes of apprehension among them.
1t is true that most of the hospitals are over
crowded. but that is due to the fact that many
Of the liberal and benevolent do not thoroughly
understand the unusual pressure upon the ca.
nacity of these homes of relief IT Is well
known that the number of young physicians In
the city is now extremely large, as the medical
schools have been graduating many students at
recent sessions, and the young men who have
secured diplomas have in many cases settled in
tbe metropolis. Health Department statistics
show that the comparative figures of sickness
are not discouraging, and that the low percent
age of deaths which has prevailed In recent
wears Is still sustained.
The figures prove too, that the city has been
In a fairly wholesome condition for most of the

A BAD JOB.
their choice

Several interesting reflections are suggested
by the suspension Of traffic in the subway yes
terday morning. due to the breaking of a large
water main near Broadway and Eighty-sixth-st
Whatever the engineers and operators may have
known, the general public had not foreseen the
possibility of such inconvenieut and perhaps
dangerous interruption of the underground ser
vice. But there Is no occasion for prolonged
lamentations on that account. Probably another
mishap of the same sort will not soon occur. and
official assurances are given that neither pas
sengers nor employees were in peril from stray
current Of electricity. 1t is suggested, however
that when the water main was shifted to make
room for the subway the work may have been
badly done. If the main had not been strained
1t very likely would not have broken.
But the fact which most clearly appears In
connection with this occurrence. and by no
means for the first time. Is that it ought not to
take so long to shut off the water from
bursted main. The chief engineer Of the De-
partment Of Water Supply explains that the
flow cannot be suddenly stopped in such case
and ought not to be if 1t could, because other
fractures would certainly result That sounds
reasonable and is doubtless true PERHAPS Mr.
Birdsall is also right in saying that at the best
an hour IS required for such a job, though it
does seem as if improved appliances might re-
duce the length of a safe operation. But he
goes on TO say that 1.-THE burst occurred about
Il o'clock this morning, and we had 1t shut off
by D.. If an hour is enough under favorable
circumstances, five hours under any circum-
stances are several too many Similar dilatori-
ness has repeatedly been observed and Justly
complained of heretofore The trouble seems
to arise If not from an actual conflict of author
ity, then from lack of intelligent cooperation.
If nobody Is responsible for doing promptly
what must be promptly done in such a case in
order TO prevent great discomfort and large az
gregate losses from the undermining Of pave
ments and flooding of cellars the system is at
fault and needs to be overhauled without delay.

year, although pneumonia has been especially
dangerous. proving fatal in number of cases.
The number of visitors to New-York from Eu-
rope has been unusually heavy, and there has
been larger influx of persons from all parts
of the United States than at any previous time
NewYork is growing steadily and is entertain
ing a greater array of guests each season; and
among these newcomers there are seekers OF
relief.
The advisory board of the Health Department
held a meeting on Wednesday, at which some
of the best known medical experts pres
ent. They discussed the condition of the sub
way, and were Inclined to agree with DR..
Chandler that there was no lack of oxygen in
the tunnels; but 1t was the opinion of the ma
jority that change in the rOadbed was needed.
since it was impossible from their point of
view, to keep it clean in present conditions.

nege Institution in Egypt, Nubia, Syria, Pales-
tine the region beyond the Caspian Sea, and
even in China.
1t is only fair to say that the responsibility i'm
posed upon the trustees of the Carnegie Instltu-
ton has thus far been admirably met. The
delicate and difficult questions which they were
obliged to consider have been wisely decided or
else postponed. The performance of their duties
has been simplifed by the recommendations of
the advisory committees, but when the latter
each acting independently of the others, proposed
the appropriation of more money than at
the disposal OF the trustees. 1t was necessary
to reduce the allowance and also to determine
the relative Importance of widely dissimilar
kinds of research. Universal approval could not
be expected. inasmuch as equally wise men might
well differ on many of the points which were
involved Any criticism of the trustees up to the
present time therefore, is premature, If not
ungracious
After nearly three years of service the first
president Of the institution, Dr. D. c. Gilman
has retired and younger man has been chosen
in his stead. New-York City has a special in
terest in the change, because Professor Wood
ward is an honored member of the faculty of
Columbia University. Like his predecessor,
though, the new president Is man of national
reputation. His long and intimate connection
with the American Association for the Advance
ment or Science alone has given him lively
sense of the need of pecunary aid to scientific
investigation in the United States. He has re-
peatedly expressed an ardent wish that his own
country might be favored as some others are
with the resources necessary for this purpose.
He now sees that hope more than realized, and
he is called to assist in dispensing the help for
which he formerly sighed. In this and in other
ways he is admirably qualified for the duties
which he will soon assume. The trustees of the
Carnegie Institution to be congratulated on
their choice.
