1t is strange that SO many houses Ia
the country are built without a porch.
A man In town building a house
would almost as soon think Of leaving

porches; but in the country one CAL

and brick houses as well as smaller
snes, and seldom see anything 10
break the heat, the wind and the
rain before the door. A porch is not
expensive; even the smallest house
needs one. And the comfort that
every member OF the family will get
out of it every day in the year WI l

that cry was only whisper. Half those years
ago, it had grown to be murmur. To-day it has
become dominant note in the great song of Amer
lean progress-progress whose ponderous burden is
poverty. Whence does it arise? Exactly where ?
Pause, and listen moment carefully, while the
gamut is
New York strikes the keynote with daily deepen
ing resonance Boston the north, and Phade-
phia on the south take up and bear the burden
of the cry Pittsburg, retaining nothing else yet
swels this depressing refrain. 1t becomes more
audible IN Chicago, reaches St. Louis, Cincinnati
Milwaukee, New Orleans, elsewhere, and beats
with swelling volume at the Golden Gate Ali these
cities essentially echo the metropolis in that social
and sociological conditions throughout the cities
of America essentially similar; and each cry is
the cry of an East Side. Hearing it in time how can
the implied conditions be remedied, the cry be
reduced at least to murmur, if not to whisper?
Answering the Question
before hazarding an answer to this pressing
- query it will be remembered that Columbus
sought western seaway to Asia, and discovered
America. Goodyear, after many futile experiments
invented vulcanized rubber, quite by chance Other
instances might easily be added as illustrations of
the way which individuals have been chasing some
shadowy chimera, and, during their roamings in
Utopian regions, have encountered, suggested
means of amelorating the condition of humanity
While my observations and suggestions in these
columns may appear optimistic, to the point
such as forty or fifty millions of money could accom-
plish in remedyng conditions by hushing the existing
appeal of our metropolitan East Side? Having gone
this far, may we not with equal reason imagine the
remedial power of relative expended in i'm
proving East Side conditions in the cities of the
Republic?
For we, nation, are growing with astounding
rapidity. Never night falls but finds lis five mil
lion dollars weather. than we We're twenty-four
hours earlier. New York boasts something like a
thousand millionaires of whom an amazing number
could part from thirty, forty, or fifty millions of
money without doing more than halving their for
tunes. Never before could this be said of any city
IN the history of the world and the bare knowledge
of its truth opens up vistas of possibilities dazzling
In scope and promise for the future; for man is
becoming more broadly generous and charitable
more humanitarian, certainly more deserving of the
lowly as the generations pass; which, in ITSELF is
guerdon of promise
shall not attempt to draw picture of the Amer
lean East Side and by America mean the Other
Halt of every great community in the land l shall
not describe the myriad miseries a-swarm in their
sunless congeries; nor do more in passing than

however adequately or lnadequately, to scatter
tort and necessities where they are more and more
needed That story has been written in every
manner and on nearly every really thinking mind
One picture however, may suffice as an illustra-
tlon-a picture of New Yorks Bowery, with four
or five wretched warming themselves over a
welcomed grating in the sidewalk. Misery on the
Bowery has its uniform the same as the Volunteers
OF America. Those men wore it. The soiled cap,
the nondescript coat, with collar turned UP to con-
ceal the absence of shirt and tie the sunken cheeks
and inert eyes, the hopeless faces and shutting atti
tudes, were telltale badges of their state Tides of
trafhc were drifting past, unnoted and unnoting

being of ample millions, might seriously have con-
sdered the feasibility of endowing the great East
Side with a sum which would not only work COM
plete transformation, but would save more lives and
lmpart more happiness than the Peace Of Portsmouth
Ama1eamation of the Two Sides
How can they be brought together? What shall
we do with Our East Sides? Those are to-day the
greatest and most stubborn questions in the social
catechism and not until progress and poverty come
to shake hands and study each other with eyes of
understanding will they be answered fully. At the
same time 1t would be folly to predict that
material inequality, the power of the rich and the
misery of the poor will not exist degree as they
have always existed. But if the man in the motor

small sacrifice to themselves comparatively, surely

Over there in other words it is obviously impossible
to bring the country to the city, in the guse of parks
and green, clean Fairgrounds. Over here it is not
only possible but easily accomplished, if only the
purse is long and full enough For instance for a
portion OF the sum mentioned the East Side of
Manhattan which has its replcas in every large city
OF the Land, could be sown with boon green spaces
Just few millions invested would Weld an inter
est in smiling faces stronger children better citizens
IN health where disease is intrencbing itself more
firmly from day to day, that would stagger belief
With the balance But let us review practically
and methodicaly, few of the growing necessities
tor which the civic of America are now CRYING
so bitterly
Considering first the park area would urgently
advocate the institution of several at least six well To-
Gated, well kept parks in Manhattan and proportion
ate number in every American city, according to
the size and circumstances of such residential areas
The Value of Parks
THE park is the popular playground-the lungs
OF the city-and it is not necessary to advance
any argument to show that such recreation grounds
installed on an extended scale will be patronized
One has only to frequent the City Hall Park in New
York, the Commons in Boston, the corresponding
parks of Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati. and
chicago, for example, especially during the summer
to discover that space upon the benches is at a
premium, and such additions, frightened with
flowers, lawns, and trees, would be boon to hum
dreds OF thousands of patrons throughout the cities
OF the land. Who can even approximate the imme-
date value of such panaceas, the rest to the weary
sight and the relaxation overstraned nerves that
would be represented by this item alone?
Where one public square exist There should
most conservatvely be thrice the number as stands
plainly apparent to all who have studied the densely
peopled sections of our East Sides Witness the
crowded streets OF summer evening-the roofs,
verandas, and stoops. Consider how the space is
utilized by those who crave a breath of fresh air.
and are fairly resurrected by passing summer
breeze such parks, such boon GASES, are becoming
more and more imperative if we safeguard the
moral and physical welfare of the nation at large
Also is it not serious question, to be considered
gravely by every class and member of society," as to
whether 1t is not our bounden duty maintain the
plcturesqueness as well as the healthy wholesome
character of the cities? Furthermore the park
accommodations and park privileges should by all
means and in all fairness be impartiay distributed
Every effort should be taken to avoid super
abundance at one end of city and an nsuficiency
at another end, especially, as is common, at
the end which is already overcongested by the poorer
and needier classes.

CHINESE AFFAIRS.


A healthy public spirit was being
created by these papers. and at least
noteworthy was the unanimity with
which they all supported the Chinese
Government in its attempt to deal with
the opium evil. 1t was as Yet too early
to dogmatizc. but he ventured to ex-
press the opinion that what had already
been done in endeavoring to give effect
tn the Imperial decree and in extending
throughout the empire the antl-oplum
movement was both hopeful and en-
couraging. Encouraging, too. was the
spread of Western education. Schools
and colleges were being multiplied all
over the empire. and the spread OF
English in China was quite eXtraordi-
nary. Thousands and thousands of men
were learning English, and correct Eng
lish, not pigeon" English. Remarka-
BILE. too, was the large number of stu
dents who were now going to foreign
universities, in Europe and America
There we're 420 Chinese students at the
great colleges in America.
IT was because of this movement
along Western lines. this attempt OF
tn. chinese to remove that ignorance
which had been the source OF all hef
conflicts with the West, that many oil
them must ask the question whether 1t
was wise and polite of us still to keep
the sore ranking in northern China.
still to retain on Chinese soil in the
north the English and the Indian regi-
ments. as a perpetual reminder of the
sin which China committed seven
years age but which she claimed she
had made a sincere effort to cXpiate
America long since withdrew her troops
from Tien-tsin. and sustained no DIM
mutton in her prestige thereby Those
who lived among the Chinese were re-
luctant to leave them, and TIE more
they saw Of them the more they ad-
mired their sterling qualities. and the
more charitably they regarded their
national idiosyncra sizes. Spordic dis
turhances might occur in that empire.
but nothing could now stay the pro
gress of the people. That progress
within the last five years was one or
the most surprising and agreeable
phenomena of recent history.
