N the New York Tribune

FROM the New York Tribune.
The scintllant genius who a few years
back led a campaign against Longfellow
IN the public schools of Brooklyn should
now take heart of courage and renew his
efforts in behalf of the truly pure. If we
remember Alright he regarded the Psalm
of Life as frivolously epicurean, Eek
celsior" as immorally suggestive and 1.-The
Launching OF the Ship" as grossly las
clVious and decadent. We are not sure
that anybody agreed with him at that time.
We rather think no one did. But 1t
seems probable that renewal of his cam
paign now would meet with considerable
support, II not over the bridge, at least
over the sea.
For We observe that the education com
mittee OF the London county council has
been revising with Rhadamanthine rigor
the catalogue of books from which prizes
for public school pupils may be selected
and has put upon the Index Expurgatorius
a number of books the identity of which
would surely inspire the foe of Longfellow
with holy JOY. Among them, marked for
Immediate exclusion, are the incendIary
Poems" of Mrs. Hemans, the dilettante
and decadent Poems" OF Whittier and
Scotts meritricious and corrupt Rob Roy"
very appropriately, too, In the centennial
year of Trafalgar. Nelson and His Cap
tains" must go, along with the highly i'm
proper STORY OF Westminster Abbey and
the execrable Poems OF Robert Burns
In addition TO these, In the near future,
as soon as the stock on hand is exhausted,
the matchmaking ban is to be put upon
such demoralizing works as the "Ingoldsby
Legends, Captains Courageous and lives
OF Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth, ]. NJ.

An interesting application of the slol
principle has been made in England
where the Lancashire and Yorkshf
Railway has introduced an automatij
ticket machine at point where largj

station are sold. The machine is q
simple construction, and when the coil
is dropped into the slot and handl|
pulled the ticket is dropped into al
open receptacle. If the ma chine prove
successful in operation it is proposet
to install large number at suhurba1
stations, not only. with the purpos|
of relieving the ticket Office, especial
during rush hours, but to enable pas
sengers to purchase their tickets NOR
speedily without waiting in q line a

that number of these machines ceull
be employed at rapid transit or sub
way stations in this country with ad
vantage. The English company cor
siders that the automatic ticket ma
chine will serve to increase suburba1
traffic, and enable it to meet electri

Hone to End Fcvcr.

New Orleans, La.-Aside from the fc-
yer, the quarantine and detention re-
strictions continue to interfere with
business. AS harvest time is approach
ing on the plantations. appeals have
come from all sections of Louisiana
that the detention camps be kept open
so that plantation hands might be sent
to the country. Unless these laborers
are obtained the farmers will be un-
able to get the benefit of the crops,
and for that reason the railroads are
endcavoring to have detention camps
opened and operated by the Marine
Hospital Service.
Though hope that the fever would
be eradicated by the 1st of October
was some time ago abandoned, general
encouragement is felt that if the
threats of the authorities have their
effect and suppression is no longer
practiced the fight will be virtually
at an end fifteen days later than the
