The Clermont's Centennial.

4 In 1907 New York is to celebrate the
centenary of steam navigation. The
celebration will take the form of
naval parade, which will make it diff
ficult to believe that all this progress
In navigation of the rivers and oceans
has been made in one hundred years.
But it was in 1907 that the Clermont,
built from designs of Robert ,Eultan,
carried passengers out of New York.
The Clermontsmadeet first triumphant
trip from New York to Albany in thirty
two hours and established the naviga-
ton of rivers. The ordinary packet of
those days required from four to six
days to make the trip, so that the record
OF the Clermont became Of world wide
interest. The navigation of the ocean
was still to be accomplished, and it was
long opposed and ridiculed. It was de-
MED that a ship could be built big
enough to carry the coal that would be
needed to. take it across the Atlantic.
Now steamers not only carry their coal,
but carry immense cargoes as we'll.
The plan of the New York celebration
is to exhibit the whole history of water
navigation, from the canoes ofv the saw
age, the Greek. galley, the. RoI aan tri-
RENE, the. boats of the Northmen, the
galleons of Spain and the @three-deck.

Houston's Experiment.

Houston, Tex, is trying the expert
ment of a government condensed into
the hands of very few men. 1t is
an extreme example of Capitalization
and one that seems destined to accom-
plish its primary purpose, that of res
cuing the city from very undesirable
gang Of politicians. The experiment,
however, so far. from being an argu-
ment against the self-government of
cities, points directly the other way.
1t is the people who have given the
four aldermen, the mayor and the con-
troller all the power of the govern
ment, and it is the people who are
holding them to a strict accountability
The main difference between the pres
ent and the past modes Of government
is that in the past the city did not
get service. Under the present mode
it does because it fixes the responsible
ity of officials
An amendment to the charter is
pending which will introduce the ref
erendum and the recall. The city OF
Houston is not afraid of self-govern
ment, but it is afraid of the multipli
cation of officials and the consequent
destruction of responsibility. A vice
of popular government up to date has
been that it elected men to office with
out sufficiently providing that they
should be responsible for their acts ol
that. they should be rewarded for Their
efforts. There are always two sides

no physical power whatever. The de

fined to matters affecting internationa

which it acts is to be a general treaty

parties to the congress. This will be ;
