Ouebec's Military Works.

The Dominion government Is
about to enter upon the construction
of gigantic military works in the
city and district of Quebec. The old
citadel is to be overhauled and the
three forts at Point Lewis and big
guns put on all of them. At Beau
mont, nine miles from the city, on
the south shore, two large fortresses
are to be constructed, commanding
full view of the channels up and
down the river and costing about
100000. When they are done
Quebec can go to sleep at night with
an added sense of security, though
it is question whether it will be a
bit safer than it is now and has been
ever since Wolfe and Montcalm for
the time being settled its status on
the heights of Abraham. - New

CAN'T SEE CHILDREN.
Hrs. Nate Light Claims Breach of
 Faith.

Mrs Kate Light, whose children, Ada and Orson, were taKen from her a few weeks ago by an order of the pro bate court, claims breach of faith on the part of her husband, Orson. and his mother, Mrs Kirk, of Simonsville. in whose custody the children are. It was agreed between Lights coun-. sel, Attorney Kelley, and Mrs Lights attorney, J. K. Lawlor, that she should be allowed to see the children at Mrs Kirk's home at any time she should call, or at least not more than once a week. Twice since the children were taken from her that agreement has been violated Yesterday, and a week ago yesterday, Mrs Light called at the Kirk home and each time she was grudgjngly allowed inside the -.ouse and was not allowed to see either of the children. She begged and pleaded and implored. but all was in vain.

TRAGEDY NEAR BALLsToN, N. V.
Negro Fatally Wounds Minister and
 Wife and Is Shot.


 Wife and Is Shot.
 BALLSTON, \. T., Aug A. The Rev. Bernard Schulte and his wife of New York city were attacked at Me chanicsville and probably fatally in- jured by negro. who was shot and killed in Saratoga while resisting ar rest
 Mr Schulte came to Mechanicsvile recently to take charge of the Episco- pal church during the absence of the rector. Dr. Oliver Shaw Newell. who is now in Europe. Early in the evening William Curtis, negro, whose home is in Saratoga. presented himself at the door of the rectory and asked for the act of turning back to get the wa ter when the negro drew piece of lead pipe from beneath his coat and felled the clergyman with terrific blow on the head, following this up with rain of blows until his victim lay unconscious and apparently dead. Mrs. Schulte, who was upstairs, hur- ried down on hearing her husband fall and was met in the hall by the negro. who instantly struck her down before she coAld utter an outcry, and contin- ued beating her with his heavy weap- on until he had inflicted injuries from which she can hardly recover.
 The clergyman and his wife were soon afterward discovered, lying un- conscious and covered with blood, by neighbors, and a search was made for the negro. who had been seen leaving the house.
 Policeman James Sullivan discovered Curtis in Searing's alley. negro colo ny in Saratoga, and arrested him. The negro, however. broke away and ran, and after firing one shot in the air to halt him Sullivan fired again. shooting him through the head and killing him instantly. .

OFFICIALS AND PRIVATE BUSINESS

Mr.. Hopper, the Superintendent Of Buildings.
seems TO be confronted with the unpleasant
alternative Of giving up his office or depriying
his newspaper "The Harlem Local Reporter
and Bronx Chronicle" of some of its most
profitable business. Apparently for some time.
in violation OF the charter, he has been the recip-
lent of considerable sums of money for cor
poration advertising by the vote of the Mayor,
Controller and Corporation Counsel. Nobody,
we believe supposes that this violation of law
was anything but oversight, though it is one
of those ovePsights which put a man in an
tremely awkward position and give opportu-
nifty to his enemies. Mr.. Hopper is wealthy and
would have little incentive even If his con-
science allowed, to take money illegally from
the city treasury. His newspaper property
seems to have been side issue with him, and it
is said that he desired to dispose of it. 1t may
well be that he never knew anything about its
advertising, or, if he did, had no realization that
the advertisements given out by the Board of
City Record were forbidden to him as Superin-
tendent Of Buildings, since he had no official
voice in the matter.
Nevertheless however innocent in intent. Mr.
Hopper would seem clearly TO have subjected
himself TO the condemnation of the statute His
very disregard of all cOncealment of his sole
ownership of the newspaper, while ii argues his
honesty, shuts against him the loophoe through
which of the particular friends of the
Tammany boss have hitherto escaped criminal
prosecution. His experience is an impressive
warning to oficeholders Of the necessity of ia
miliarizing themselves with the laws governing
their conduct and giving scrupulously careful
attention to any possible ramifcatons of their
private business which will conflict with their
public duties
With the growth Of the commercial spirit our
citizens IN general have become unduly careless

A REMARKABLE CONTRAST.

1t is diverting to observe the controversial
methods employed by some of our esteemed con-
temporaries in their efforts to defeat railroad
rate legislation. Conceiving that the danger OF
dealing hastily with a question of immense i'm
portance is the safest objection they can make.
they are at great pains to show that Senators
and Representatives in Congress cannot possibly
have prepared themselves TO vote intelligently
upon it at the present session. They point out
that the problems involved are many and intri-
cate, that wide experience and profound study
required for their solution and that it is
preposterous to suppose that without those adj
vantages the most capable statesman is COM
petent TO grapple with them
Now, we are quite disposed TO give that argu-
ment all the weight which properly belongs to
it. What amuses is the complacency with
which these earnest objectOTs, having invited
public attention to the inevitable ignorance of
Congress. proceed to exhibit their own exact
and copious knowledge of the subject They
advisers leading Senators and members of the
lower House, could not reasonably be expected
to understand it and are to be blamed only for
falllng to recognize the need of deliberations
but, as for themselves they are perfectly quail
fed to analyZe the bills under discussion point
out their defects and determine the direfu eff
fects which their enactment would produce
Truly omniscience is the foible of some news
papers.

aLBANY AND THE POLICE.

The Committee of Nine which is Investigate
ing the police situation in NewYork is already
convinced that too many members of the force
are unduy considerate of certain favored in
terests Influences have been employed freely
for years to assign many patrolmen to tasks
which give them very little to do, and the Off
GERS OF the department are not sufficiently reso
lutte All over the town there is evidence of
favoritsm and preference in the treatment of
those to whom the enforcement of the laws is
primarily committed.
The police have been shrewd enough for a
long time to act in harmony for the promotion
of their own interests. In comparison with
other cities, the department has an enormous
advantage in respect to the amount of money
at it's disposal. The policy of treating police
men with extravagant generosity has long pre-
vailed. Under the plan of three platoons and
of retirement on pensions, the members of the
patrol in NewYork are better off than anv other
class Of city employees but the results are most
unsatisfactory. and important changes are re-
qured And these changes should not be con-
fined to the Republican members of the force
If the Committee of Nine makes wise recon-
mendations the legislature will have an obvious
duty to perform.
