The concessions granted by the
Executive Council do not constitute a
monopoly; and, therefore, if the Ayunt.
amiento should obtain the legal right,
it could construct its pier; and. as 'there
is already another enterprise which
has made considerable progress in it's
plans for the building of a pier, Ponce

Accor ding to reports we have heard,
in the study Of the port of Ponce made
by high fuctienary of the Insular
government, together with an engineer
of the Federal government, a little
after the termination of the extraord-
mary session of the Legislative Assemb
ly called for the purpose Of settling the
question touching the San Juan pier,
the said engineer pointed out the des-
irability of having pier built well out
in the sea, in a direction South of the
present dock for lighters
We are ignorant as to whether this
is the site selected by the Ayuntam-
iento of Ponce, or if it is the one want
ed by the enterprise which has solicit
ed franchise; but from what we have
heard, we are of the opinion that the
site indicated is the solution proposed
by the Federal engineer referred to in
his report to the National government,
and which will no doubt be published
shortly.
But whether this is true or not, it
is indisputable that the Ponce preators
before risking the danger Iof making
new loans and engaging in works with
which they are wholly unfamiliar,
ought to attend to the public services
which are purely municipal, such as
fhe ones we have alluded to in prev
ious paragra phs, without entsngling
themselves in the inextricable labyr-
inth of municipal industr allzstion.
When things occur as in the case
in question, when municipaliti dis
plays desire to throttle and obstruct
private Initiative far from being com
menda BILE, it merits the most severe
and positive censure.

nonepolize the important service Of
the docks.
Our Judgment, which is based on
the present municipal law, is firmly
fixed in regard to the matter in
question.
We are of the opinion that munici-
pal corporations, before engaging in
industrial enterprises of doubtful sue
cess, should attend to those matters
that are clearly in their charge and
exclusively within their province,
particularly when, as is the case in
Ponce, they leave much to be desired
and are notoriously bad.
Before launching out to construct
piers, the municipal corporation Of
Ponce had better attend to the neces-
sary Improvements of the city streets,
which are demanded by the active and
ever increasing traffic. And there is
likewise needed a modern system of
drainage, as we'll as important impro-
vements in the acqueduct, reforms

increasing population and to accom-

The municipal corporation proposes
to effect a new loan for the purpose
of carrying ont the projected plan;
and il recent meeting Of the council
a committee was appointed to secure
the necessary franchise.
The present municipal law, in its
enumeration of the various works to
be confded to the municipalities, does
not mention that of constructing piers
and the Legislative Assembly would
have to pass a special law enlarging
the perogatives of the municipalities

To Syndicate pubric Libraries.

A suggestion made by James II. Can"
field, librarian of Columbia university,
looking toward a syndicate of puS4ic Ii
braries ON d large scale. is attrS@ips
much attention. Writing in the Indeian-
dent, Mr.. Garfield says that the libra
rians of all our larger institutions are
overhurdencd with accommodations which
they cannot possibly care for, either for
shelf-room or handling in any building
less capacious than the library of Con-
gress, or with any ordinary staff of work
ers. He thinks the remedy will be found
in binding closely together the great cen
trail library of the nation and those of
what he proposes, he refers to the de-
velopment of special libraries at New
York, such as those owned by the acad-
envy of medicine, the bar association, the
genealogy collection of the Lenox library.
the library of architecture at Columbia,
the library of pharmacy, the New York
historical society's collection, etc. Once
such a national library system was or
ganized, the different librarians would
be in constant telephonic communication
and the system of interlibrary loans
would make the resources of all available
at any time or place. At some central
point a correspondence bureau, the fees
of which would make it self-sustaining,
would bring the advantages of these col
~lections to thoughtful or studious persons

Fifteenth Century Manners.

The antiquary took down q small,
fat volume, veiium-bound, with a brass
clasp.
''Lhis is a Book of Manners" he
said. at was printed in 1476. Here
are a few extracts"
And he read:
DO not gnaw a bone, like a dog,
nor suck the marrow out Of q bone.
"In peeling a pear, begin at the
stalk; but with an apple, begin at the
top.
DO not wipe the hands on the
clothes, nor lei them, but use the
cloth.
When you drink. lift the cup in
both hands you must not drink with
one hand like a wagner when he is
greasing his cart wheels.
Wipe your nose and mouth when
you have drunk, and do not cough into
the cup.
do not a an apple all alone. but
cut it in two and give a neighbor a
piece.
do not use your own knife to cut
your meat if the host mas set a knife
of his own at your place.
do not spread butter on bread with
your thumb"

spraying for Potato Blight.


After briefly describing the cause OF
potato blight, C. A. McCue, of the Mich
igan experiment station, gives the re-
suits OF experiments in which potatoes
were sprayed with Bordeaux mixture
and comparisons made with similar
plants receiving a spraying OF lime wa
ter. Where the potatoes were given
fourteen ~sprayings of Bordeaux mix
ture at intervals of four days a net
gain of $11.9O per acre is reported.
Where they were sprayed at intervals
of ten days, six applications being CIV
en-, a net gain of $15.44 per acre is Civ
en-. On plats sprayed every fifteen days
a net gain of $13,3S per acre is report
ed, and where four ~sprayings at inter-
walls OF twenty days $11.O3 per acre net
gain is reported. For the plat which
received fourteen ~sprayings Of lime
water at intervals of Jour days a loss
of $1.7G is reported. The cost of spray
ing is said to have been Y cents per
acre for each application. This amount,
the author believes, could be reduced
to not more than SO cents per acre.
The author gives compiled informa-
ton relative to spraying by individual
farmers, the results obtained at other
stations, etc, and notes that the sta
ton expects to carry on experiments
for the prevention of late blight for at
least five years.

Alternating Crops,

In connection with rotation of crops
the land should be improved every
year. There is a point beyond which
soils can not De permanently enriched
without an improvement Of their con-
stitutional organization, which, how
ever, may be done by supplying artif-
cially those ingredients of a good soil
of which they are deficient, such as
lime, and even sand or clay, if posi-
Bile, for without changes in the consti-
tutional organization of thes soil we can
not hope to carry it's fertility perma-
nently beyond what it has acquired in
a state Of nature. Soils which have
been reduced merely by cultivation,
where they have not been injured by
washing rains, may be easily reno
waited, and this must be done by again
supplying theE. with those ingredients
of which they have been deprived by
bad husbandry. This may be done in
part by the application Of
whence we are to draw munh Of the
necessary supply of vegetable food, and
to this end farmers should freely culti-
vatc those crops which derive most OF
their food from it. In soils adapted
for it's cultivation, red clover is most
suitable for this purpose; it is by far
the most convenient and the cheapest
mode of r~enovating exhausted soils,
not only supplying much vegetable
matter to soils that have been much
reduced, but it is admirably calculated
IN ~n1tyerize and reduce its component
PARTS to a finely divided state, thus
producing a condition favorable to a
combination with those elementary
substances which are furnished by the
atmosphere, thereby greatly increasing
its capacity for absorbing moisture.
Even weeds, previous to the time of
r~ipening their seeds, derive much of
their nutriment from the atmosphere,
and by destroying them before they
produce seed their product in vegeta-
| BILE matter goes to renovate that sod

Morn1izntion Of the Rich.

In an address at ithaca, President
Schurman of Cornell said he believed
that a law regulating prices in different
sections of the country would be enacted
to prevent discrimination, following the
principles of the common law. He thought
the time would come when truth, honor
and morality would be as much a part
of Wall street as of the country village.
The big task Of the future he defined as
'the moralization of the rich" What he
regarded as the defect of socialism was

Jnpan's First Move in the Event OF
War with Uncle sam.
The possibility, however remote, OF 5
war with japan brings up the question
of the strategic value Of Hawaii. There
is little doubt that Japan in the event
of such a conflict could and would at
once occupy those islands rs a base of
operations against US. Long before we
could possibly send for their defense a
fleet which could b- spared only after
proper protection had been given TO our
Pacific coast cities Japan would have her
fleet and her tr~oopships in the harbor or
Honolulu. With Japan once in posses
sion it would be almost impossible to dis
lodge her, for the reason that she would
do Immediately what the United States
has not done and perhaps is little likely
to do.
Because of physical conditions the
principal Hawaiian islands may easily
be made almost impregnable. Outlying
reefs make landing impossible except
through channels which could be swept
by shore batteries. In case Of need for
such defense Japan as an Occupant would
have an unreasonable advantage over
us. There are in the islands to-day some
$1,000 men, many and probably most of
whom belong to the japanese reserves.
They are trained soldiers.
A naval occupation followed by the ar
rival of vessels bringing arms, ammuni-
ton and equipment would give japan C.
Tremendous advantage at the very out
set of hostiEties. This quickly available
force would proceed at once TO tine con-
struction of e~arthworks and Notifications
and to their equipment with heavy guns
and light batteries. Once in intrenched
occupation and with such a defensive
force she could give Z highly interesting
time to all the ships and men that we
could possibly spare from the defense of
the Philippines and the Pacific coast.
Fortunately our relations with Japan
are on the whole most friendly and like
ly to continue SO. Enlightened self,in.
terest demands that they so continue, but
it Is well to remember that in a time
OF trouble our weakest spot would be
Japan,s strongest hold.
