warship afoat. On the death of his brother,
Robert, in 1856 he also continued to perfect
the semi-subnarine type of warship to which
his father and brother had devoted much study
and money In this way Hoboken came to have
a sort of private navy yard. A drydock was
built and in it was erected formidable craft,
40 feet long with supposedly invulnerable ar

body. There were other dead bodies to be re-
moved besides this because of this ones
presence there. There many tenement
houses in New-York where the same conditions
obtain as existed in this building when it caught
fire. The same catastrophe might occur in other
parts of the city.
Those who use the 2d-ave. elevated railroad
have all the evidence they need of the prev
alence of this habit of piling windows and fire
escapes full of household supplies and furniture.
On window sls are often to be seen pitchers
and bottles of milk They are placed there by
housewives because the outside air is cooler and
more wholesome than the air in their crowded
rooms. On the fire escapes can be seen such ar
ticles pals. baskets. soap boxes filled with
various things, coffee pots. tubs. chairs, ice
boxes. mattresses etc. The fire escape is evey
used as an aviary and a flower garden On tho
fire escape of an East Side house uptown can be
seen large box which has been turned into a
pigeon house couple who lovers Of
flowers last year turned their fire escape into
bower of green. Their home was on the top
floor They erected a skeleton framework
the fire escape and trained broad leaved vines
upon it. Upon the floor of the little iron struct-
ure were placed wooden boxes secured from the
grocery store. Somewhere they had found earth
with which to fill them. The result was an ex-
cellent exhibition of what lovers or green
things growing" who are condemned to live in a
tenement house do in the way of gratifying
their tastes.
The present condition in which fire escapes
are turned into fire traps can be charged up to
the city officials whose business it is to see that
the escapes kept clear Carelessness, If
nothing worse, the part of public officials is
in a measure responsible for it. Under Com
missioner De Forest, in the Low administration
conditions not they now. 1t has
also been suggested that the landlords and
their agents should be made responsible for
the condition of the fire escapes on their prop
erty, and then they would be kept clear. The
law prescribes penalty of $40. payable by the
occupant of the house In which the fire escape is
found INSTRUCTED. Under certain circumstances
the landlord may be made to suffer a greater
penalty. Commissioner Grain declares that the
courts dismiss all complaints regarding OBJ
structed fire escapes technical grounds
There ought to be found way in which the
intention of the law may be realized and guilty
persons punished.

developed that the State had right to pos

Land Grabbing In America.

Foreign landlordism is reaching out
its tentacles in the direction of the
United States. An English syndicate
owns n vast tract in Wisconsin. Lon
doner lords it over $4,000 acres in Kan
sas and an English land company
owns $4,000 acres in Arkansas. IN
West Virginia one proprietor from
Halifax controls 100000 acres. Recent
ly a Scotch syndicate bought 50,0Go
acres in Florida. Throughout the cat
tie grazing region 100000 acres are
owned by two foreign syndicates locat-
ed In Holland and Germany. Altogeth-
er it is said there are 20,000,000 acres
of American land owned by foreigu
landlords.
1t has always been the boast of
America that it was land of small
proprietors, but things are changing.
After the French revolution the land
went into the hands of the people, but
the small holding of the peasant farm
ers under the first and second empire,
have passed to Il great extent into the
hands of capitalists, and feudalism
practically exists there as it did before
1889. 1t has been shown recently b.
student of French society that the
great mass of the peasantry of the
country are tenants or hired laborers,
Although they live in the most primi-
tive homes and exercise the greatest
economy, they are practically chained
to condition of scrfd0m and are tied
to the land Us much as their ancestors
were
In this country we have cheap land
and high industrial wages. The people
abandon the LAID for the attraction of
industrial centers This is TO be re
GREETED if it results in turning the land
over to absentee landlords. who have no
interest in the welfare of the country
beyond squeezing out a revenue. as was
the case before our own revolution.

The kaiser's Old Fashioned Army


A military expert who has made a
careful study of the armies of Ger
many and France as they are today is
inclined to the opinion that France can
contemplate a war with Germany with
out falling into panic. He says that
Germany's military power has increas-
1870, yet her system has changed but
little. The German troops carry a good
rife, but their field gun is inferior to
that of the French. The strength of
the two armies is about the same nu-
merically, and Germany has the most
robust clements of the nation with the
col0rS.
Germany's source of real weakness,
this authority holds, lies in her officers
corps. The officers belong to special
class and are very exclusive. The men
are intelligent and trained to take their
own initiative, but during a battle the
gaps in the ranks of officers cannot
readily be filled On the other hand,
the French soldiers who came to the
field raw in 1870 made a most heroic
fight after the imperial army had been
shattered. France is a republic, and
Democratic ideas pervade the army,
but in Germany the autocratic will Of
the kaiser dominates the establishment,
and the military ideals are those of the
past.

Large sums of money are no

NEW TEST
FOR JURORS
In Arroyo Murder Trial.
Hama Receivership.
Court Notes.

Practically what the jurors examined
on qualifications to try Arroyo for the
murder of Riviera We're asked by coun-
sci for the defendant was if they con-
sidered, under stated circumstances,
that the victim '-Eeeded killin'," as
Pudd'nhead Wilson would put it. The
men We're Porto Ricans Of most disrep-
1i,able class, who quarreled and as
the AomicilaI ending was related to ju-
rors, Arroyo having been knocked down
shot Riviera, who was coming at him
with a threatening motion of hand to
hip pocket, inhicung a wound that
caused death.
The Attorney General objected to the
line of examination, arguing that the
Jurors were being questioned on the
law of self-defense, though, if impan-
riled to try tie case, they would be IN
der oath to take the law of the case
from the court. Judge Robinson ruled
against the objection, considering that
there was an element of fact in the
questioning. When the defense chal-
lenged a juror who said the menaces
of the victim would have to be ''decis-
i've, and if not so, the person who shot
Kim would have to show he was insane
from fear at the moment of shooting,
the court denied the challenge for
cause.
