lates concerning Interstate commerce.
A decision by the Supreme court In

WILL ENGINEER HEED?

Will the city engineer please take
notice that according to common OBJ
servation, certain OF his printed d.
rections are daily being set at naught
by contractors doing street work.
Section of the specifications for
the grading, curbIng and macadam-
lzing OF Second street provides that
when mud or soft material is en-
countered, 1t shall be taken out below
the subgrade IL the city engineer shall
so direct, and not otherwise; and that
II so directed and taken out, the space
shall be rehlled with good. clean
gravel by and at the expense of the
contractor
According to all the information we
can get, the very first section OF the
elaborate pamphlet on specifications
is being violated daily in the city
work which 1t was supposedly design
ed to protect and to guarantee. we
fear that It cannot be disproved that
section one of the specifications is
wholly disregarded In the macadam-
izing of Second avenue. Weeks ago
our reporters visited the work going
on there, and found that the sub-sur-
face was in no case thoroughly COM
pacted by rolling; that dust and other
soft material were frequently mingled
indiscriminately with the lower layer;
and that In no case was the soft ma
terial" ever taken out and the space
reflled with gravel.
What are the specifications for? II
not followed, what purpose do they
serve?
Section 6 provides that such portions
of the street or sidewalk as cannot
be reached by the roller, and all places
excavated below the roller and reaned,
and all pipe trenches and other places
that cannot properly be compact ID by
the roller shall be tamped solldly by
and at the expense of the contractor.
No case of tamping has yet been
discovered anywhere on the streets
now being macadamized. Is this be-
cause tamping is never needed in the
case of our streets? Surely not, for
many soft places covered by loose
earth are to be seen upon various
streets. The specifications call for
this operation in certain cases. but the
tamping Is rarely if ever practiced.
Why not? OF what use are these
specifications? Were they so elabor-
ately printed simply for the purpose of
preventing uninitiated contractors
from successful bidding on city street
work? If not. what is the actual use
and service which they render?

HINDUS IN JAPAN.

A significant feature of the unrest
in India is the effort by Hindus to en-
list the sympathy of Japan for their
anti-Britlsh agitation.
II Is claimed that throughout the
technical schools and colleges of ia
pan there are scattered a number OF
students from Hlndustan. and they are
spreading their anti British propagan-
da lndustrously, They never lose an
opportunity to declare that the bene-
fetal effects of British rule In India
have been greatly overrated. They
point out what they please to term in
stances of British injustice, and they
declare that India, instead OF being
smugly satisfied with British rule, IS
renllv but a hotbed of revolution
which may break out at any time.
That this agitation Is viewed with
alarm in Japanese government circles
is evident from the fact that Count
okuma has thought II advisable 10
take cognlzance of it, in an address
to Indian students in Japan. in which
he went so far as to warn them Of the
folly of tempting to undo BRUSH
work. or Of cherishing schemes when
could only result in their own dlscom-
future.
Japan is not Don Quixote among
the nations She knows both her
strength and her limitations AS the
ally of Great Britain her statesmen VIII
naturally remove any suspicion that
the anti-Brltisb agitation is approved
by the government. But Japan VIII
grow, and her voice may some day be
heard in everything that pertains to
the affairs OF Asia.

A GREAT QUESTION PENDING.

The issues presented in the North
Carolina railroad cases. in which the
companies have resisted the state law

2A cents per mile for carrying passen-

ever came before the courts for adjudi-

POWERS FOURTH TRIAL.
Clnvelnnd plain Dealer.

The prospects are fairly bright that
the fourth trial of Caleb Powers VIII
bring to conclusion this remarkable
case. Powers has three times been
convicted of the murder OF Gov. Goe-
bel, has been twice sentenced to death
and once to imprisonment for lie.
After each trial the verdict has been
set aside and the case ordered reheard.
1t has been charged, and proved TO the
satisfaction of many, that Powers was
sentenced 10 death for being a Re-
publican politician rather than for
being murderer Some of those
who have taken this ground may con-
scientiously believe that Powers was
in some measure responsible for the
killing of Goehel but they hold that
this crime has not been proved.
