A Celebrated Clock.

The art of the clockmaker has
achieved many remarkable triumphs
during many centuries. Sometimes 1t
is a clock wonderful for the complex
~ of its movements and its busy popu.
lation Of automatons that attracts our
admiration, ike that in the Cathedral
of Strassburg. At other times the i'm.
mense size OF the machinery and the
dials excites astonishment. This ia the
case with the celebrated clock in the
tower of the Church of st. Rombaut at
Nechlln. A writer in La Nature thinks
this clock possesses the largest dlals
that exist in the world. There are four
of them, one on each side of the great
square tower. and their extreme diam
eter is nearly thirty-seven and one-half
feet The figures showing the hours
are nearly six and one-half feet high.
and the hands have length of nearly.
twelve feet.

The book is entitled THE Anatomy OF

The New York Mayoralty.

The prospect of recount of the votes
cast in the McClellan-Hearst mayoralty
election is welcome. Ever since the close
of the polls the result has been the subject
of much angry discussion growing out of
the charge by Mr.. Hearst that he was swim
died. So earnest has he been in that asser-
ton, and so often has he repeated it, that a
cloud rests on Mr.. McClellans title to the
office. This should be dispeled, if possible
The ballots have been preserved, and a
recount should show the truth. 1t is moth
ing to the point that Mr.. Mcclellan and
Mr.. Murphy, who were then united against
Mr.. Hearst have quarreled, and that Mr.
Murphy and Mr.. Hearst are now united
against Mr.. Mcclellan. Such a shake-up is
not unusual in New York politics, where
your friend of today is likely to be your
enemy tomorrow.

for a public agency for the performance
of police duties. 1t is Furthermore doubt
full whether the segregation of a specific
class of court fines and their payment to
an unofficial corporation for the perform
ance of a public service is sound in prin-
ciple.
The Humane Society has done a COM
mendable work in this District in main
tanning high standard of public senti-
ment on the subject of the treatment of
animals. and horse owners are to a large
extent indebted to it for its work in
checking the crueltes of ignorant, brutal
Indifferent employees. The great majority
of the owners of horses recognize this
fact, and are ready to acknowledge their
Indebtedness for the labors of the men and
women who have thus devoted themselves
to a humane principle. They now. how
ever, raise the question whether the pres
ent method is the best and most effective.
The matter is of such seriousness that
it should be discussed in a spirit of calm
ness by all concerned. There is one
proposition upon which all may and doubt
less do agree. that the horse owner re-
quires protection from the misconduct of
his own employees, and that there is need
of some form of official or semi official
supervision. Just what form that super
vision is to take. how it is to be con-
trolled and how financed, is a matter for
Congress eventually to determine. n-the
light of ill the facts. and especially in
the light of the principle of municipal
government which is necessarily involved.

Horse Owners and Humane Society.

An important principle in municipal
management is involved in the protest of
the local horse owners against the meth
DDS of preventing cruelty to animals in
the District now in vogue. At present
the District government relegates to the
Humane Society, an organization of pri-
waite citizens, the power of inspection and
arrest in cases of the improper treatment
of horses. All fines assessed against own
ers and drivers for violations of the HUI
name laws are paid into the treasury of
this society, and aid in the support OF the
force of agents. The horse owners now
suggest that this is a false system, and
that the fines should be paid into the gem
eral fund and assist, with other revenues
of the District, in the maintenance of a
distinct branch of the police department,
assigned by law to supervise the manner
In which animals are treated in the Dis
trict. In other words. IL is proposed that
the horse owners be held to a proper
degree of consideration for their animals
through the medium of a force of vet
Urinary police instead of through the
agents of "a private organization.

Those San Francisco bribery indictments
just returned against Boss" Ruef and an
other are of exceeding interest, indicating
the extent of the aldermanic usufruct dur

furnish specifications in fun detail, but
enough is given to show that there was
big money in the Office of city supervisor.
The "hght trust netted eighteen super
visors $500 apiece, 5000 in all. The
ordinance raising the gas rate gave the
same eighteen $3.50 apiece. or $13. 500. But

Davis Tribute to Judge Gray.

The praise bestowed by Henry 6. Davis
on Judge George Gray is so we'll deserved
everybody may say amen. In every way,
as citizen, senator and jurist, the Delaware
man has established claims to respect, and
even admiration. That he would serve in
the office of President with an eye single

But may praise Mr.. Davis himself
quite as highly. He too is an excellent citi-
zen. His work in the Senate was note
worthy. He has been tower of strength

what West Virginia is, and promises to be-

Who would think it to see him as he ap-

He could meet and dispose of the crowds
