NEW COAsTING STEAMSHIPS.

1t is likely TO appear that the Creole. launched
on Wednesday at Quincy, Mass. is different
in many particulars from the other vessels Of
the line to which she belongs. The feature
which will probably excite the greatest in
terest is the steam turbine engine with which
she will be propelled. Whether the choice was
made by the Southern Pacific Company. for
which she is being built, or by Admiral BOwles.
the head Of the company which is constructing
her. does not appear. but the decision discloses
noticeably progressive spirit.
The steam turbine can hardly be regarded
an experiment in marine practice. when the per-
formances Of the Virginian, the Victorian and
the Carmania are considered. Yet in spite OF
these precedents, of the accommodating testimony
afforded by railway ferrybOats in European
waters and of the adoption of the turbine for
the Lusitania and the Mauretania, good many
shipbuilders remain skeptical concerning it's
virtues. The prejudice is certainly giving way,
and when the Creole is once running between
New York and New Orleans she will undoubt-
edly assist in the work, but conservative sentl-
ment has not yet disappeared.
Another popularity in the design of coasting
steamers which, If not quite new is rather
uncommon, is to be observed In the vessels OF
new line which is TO run between Boston and
Brunswick, Ga The first OF them was launched
at Quincy about a month ago. In these the en-
gine is placed far aft, instead of nearly amid
ships. The smokestack occupies a correspond
ing position. and even the pilot house is more
than three-quarters of the way back from the
stem Such an arrangement affords a contrast
to the distribution of machinery and upper
works in most Of the steamships now running
up and down the Atlantic Coast, but there
is reason for the usage. Experience on the
Great Lakes Is said 10 have shown that the
plan here described affords increased storage
capacity for freight, and averts the necessity
Of giving a vessel a deep draft. 1t Is specially
adapted, therefore. TO some OF the shallow har-
bOrs on the South Atlantic Coast That build
ers Of ships for ocean service are willing TO
adopt ideas first developed on the inland seas
of the United States evinces a wideawake dis
position

REMEMBER THE NEW MEAT LAW

If the dealers and manufacturers who SUD-
ply New York City with dressed meat find
themselves unable TO carry on business after
October l, it Will be their own fault The De-
partment OF Agriculture is evidently doing its
best TO prepare them for the operation OF the
new law. but they seem to be inexcIlsabIy slow
about getting ready TO comply with its rules
II they are shut out from their usual market
at the beginning Of next MONTH the public will
have no sympathy with them, but the consum-
ers will blame them and not the government
for any inconvenience which may arise from
a shortage in the local meat supply.
The butchers and packers operating in this
city and in New Jersey and Connecticut have
escaped much of the criticism directed against
the great Western packing establishments. In
deed. few Of the local abattoirs have been
highly commended by inspectors for their
cleanliness and sanitary methods The mann.
facturers Of this neighborhOod should not how

luded into the belief that the law Is NOT IN ha

pubic interest in the great establishments so

their bad methods will be corrected. and tbera
Is special need that attention be given 10 the
smaller establishments in which abuses miqbt
otherwise be overlooked
1t is well known that the worst noctir,

STUDYING MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP

II great public problem involving social and
political theories can ever be settled by statis-
tics. certainly the question of government own
ership end operation OF public utilities ought to
be settled by the National Civic Federation. To
Judge from the circular just issued describing
the work Of its commission on public owner
ship and operation. which is making elaborate
studies In England aud America. There would
seem TO be a fair prospect that the committees
composed Of both believers and opponents Of
public operatiOn-which are investigating va
rious plants will be able 10 agree on a COM
mon basis or bare fact-what different systems
cost ana hos' they compare in respect TO the
sort OF service which they give. IL is less to
be expected that unanimity will be reached as %
the general lessons applicable to our conditions
which may be drawn even from uncontroverted
facts If any such report is ever made II will
indeed be remarkable. for there is as little pros
pect that statistics can ever reconcile differing
opinions on this question as that they could
really change the opinion OF persons convinced
against their will regarding the tariff or the
money standard.
The commission has prepared for itself an
ambitious programme, which II is following IN
dustriously. IL has examined the public street
railways OF Glasgow, Manchester, Leicester and
Liverpool the mixed public and private lines
Of London and the private lines of Dublin and
Norwich; the public lighting. whether gas or
electric, OF Glasgow. Manchester Leicester.
birmingham and Liverpool, the private svs-
TENS OF Newcasue-On-Tyne and SbeffieId and
the public and private plants OF London. Hear
ings have been held, ali sorts OF public and pri-
vete bodies have been consulted and now re-
ports are TO be prepared on what has baan
learned about plants. about the Legislative his
tory OF public utilities and about the political
conditions prevailing IN British and American
cues as affecting the question. At the same
uIne investigations are being made OF the mn
nicipal lighting plants OF Chicago and PhiIadel-
phia. and various plants in other cities have
been studied
All This work should place before students

Ject But We doubt II Il will settle ANYTHING

THE ENGLIsH RAILVAy Acc,nr,,r


Like the disaster at Salisbury last June the
fatal railway accident at Grantham occurred on
a curve where il had been customary 70 reduce
the speed OF the train. In the first of these
cases the failure TO take the necessary nrecau-
tion is now believed 10 have been due 10 the
wilful neglect Of instructions by the engineer
In the second there is a possibility that the
fault was with the brakes. Should that sr1nno
sition be confirmed by further investigation. IN.
engine driver may be relieved OF respOnsIbiIirv
but the question will then arise whether the
mechanical defect which led 10 such Iamentsbla
results could not have been detected by efficient
inspection.

but to some victims of the latest English disos'
